CREDIT SUBFACILITIES

     2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments. 

          2.1.1 Revolving Credit Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon
the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally, and not jointly, agrees
to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the
date hereof to the Expiration Date; provided that after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Loan
(i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations
and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments. Within
such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower
may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.

          2.1.2 Swing Loan Subfacility. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon
the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans and
repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC Bank may, at its option, cancelable at any time for any
reason whatsoever, make swing loans (the “Swing Loans”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to
time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal
amount up to but not in excess of $1,000,000.00 (the “Swing Loan Subfacility”), provided that the
aggregate principal amount of PNC Bank’s Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations and the
Revolving Credit Loans of all the Lenders at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the
Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders. Within such limits of time and amount and subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to
this Section 2.1.2.

     2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans. Each
Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to

of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall
never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit
Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to
perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other
party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations
hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or
after the Expiration Date.

     2.3 Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its
Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the
Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed) times the average daily difference between the amount of (i) the
Revolving Credit Commitments and the (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage. All Commitment Fees shall

Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly
completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4(1) or a request by
telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, a
“Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the
authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of
such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate
amount of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, and, if applicable, the Interest
Period, which amounts shall be in integral multiples of $300,000.00 and not less than $300,000.00
for each Borrowing Tranche under the LIBOR Rate Option and in integral multiples of $100,000.00 and
not less than $300,000.00 for each Borrowing Tranche under the Base Rate Option.

          2.4.2 Swing Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time
to time prior the Expiration Date request PNC Bank to make Swing Loans by delivery to PNC Bank not

confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being
understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a
telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Swing Loan
Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed Borrowing Date and the principal amount
of such Swing Loan, which shall be not less than $100,000.00.

     2.5 Making Revolving Credit Loans; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent; Repayment of
Revolving Credit Loans.

          2.5.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after
receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], notify
the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrower
and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section  2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with
Respect to Revolving Credit Loans]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving
Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such
purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit
Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately

- 19 -

 

available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the applicable Borrowing Date;
provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a
timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds
the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject
to the repayment obligation in Section 2.5.3 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].

          2.5.2 Making Swing Loans.  So long as PNC Bank elects to make Swing Loans, PNC Bank shall,
after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.4.2 [Swing Loan Requests], fund
such Swing Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal
Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the Borrowing Date.

          2.5.3 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section
2.5.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of
the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

          2.5.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay the Revolving
Credit Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Expiration Date.

          2.5.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.  PNC Bank may, at its option, exercisable at any
time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a
Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC Bank so requests, accrued interest thereon,
provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of
its Revolving Credit Commitment. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in
accordance with Section 2.4.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the
requirements of that provision. PNC Bank shall provide notice to the Banks (which may be
telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to
be made under this Section 2.5.5 and of the apportionment amount the Lenders, and the Lenders shall
be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions
specified in Section 2.4.1 are then satisfied) by the time PNC Bank so requests, which shall not be
earlier than 3:00 p.m., on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice
from PNC Bank.

- 20 -

 

     2.6 Notes. The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and Term Loans made to it by each Lender,
together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note, a Swing Note and a
Term Note, dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the
Revolving Credit Commitment, the amount of the Swing Loan Subfacility or Term Loan Commitment, as
applicable, of such Lender.

     2.7 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to refinance existing
indebtedness, for general corporate purposes, including working capital financing, Permitted
Investments and distributions permitted under Section 8.2.5 [Dividends and Related Distributions],
and issuance of Letters of Credit.

     2.8 Letter of Credit Subfacility. 

          2.8.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Borrower may at any time prior to the Expiration
Date request the issuance of a standby and/or trade letters of credit (each, a “Letter of
Credit”) on behalf of itself or another Loan Party, or the amendment or extension of an
existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Issuing
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application and agreement for letters
of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing
Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days,
or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date
of issuance. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the Issuing Lender shall
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will
provide Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice
from any lender, Administrative Agent or any Loan party, at least one day prior to the requested
date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of
the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.8, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender’s
Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that
(A) each trade Letter of Credit shall have a maximum maturity of 180 days from the date of
issuance, and each standby Letter of Credit shall have a maximum maturity of four (4) years from
the date of issuance, and (B) in no event may any Letter of Credit expire later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date, and provided further that in no event shall (i) the
Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, the sum of up to $2,000,000.00 for the
aggregate face amount of all trade Letters of Credit plus up to $4,000,000 for the aggregate face
amount of standby Letters of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving
Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each request by the
Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a
representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with
Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the
requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery
of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the
applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

- 21 -

 

          2.8.2 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the
Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting
fee equal to .125% per annum (in each case computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual
days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average Letter of Credit Obligations and
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of
Credit. The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account
the Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect
to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in
connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any),
negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

          2.8.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of
Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing
thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

                    2.8.3.1 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary
or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse
(such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a
“Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon, New Jersey time on each
date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a
“Drawing Date”) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender
an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrower fails to
reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing
under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that
Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the
Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or
Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent
or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8.3.1 may be oral 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.

                    2.8.3.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.8.3.1
make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in
immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the
participating Lenders shall (subject to Section  2.8.3 [Disbursement; Reimbursement]) each be
deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that
amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later
than 2:00 p.m., New Jersey time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s
obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such
payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three
(3) days following the

- 22 -

 

Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the
Revolving Credit Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section
2.8.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any
Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under
this Section  2.8.3.2.

                    2.8.3.3 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit
Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by
Section 2.8.3.1, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in
Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other
reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a
“Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 2.8.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its
participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such
Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8.3.

          2.8.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

                    2.8.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment
made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a
Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment
made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative
Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent
shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of
any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing
Lender.

                    2.8.4.2 If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to
a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any
portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of
Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent,
forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of
its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from
the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from
time to time.

          2.8.5 Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing
Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written
regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such regulations and

- 23 -

 

practices may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such
application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and
agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall
not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in
following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any
modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

          2.8.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any
request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall
be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under
such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements
of such Letter of Credit.

          2.8.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation
in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as
contemplated by Section 2.8.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a
Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw
under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 under all circumstances, including the
following circumstances:

reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its
Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

               (ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter
of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments],
2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], 2.5 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] or 7.2 [Each Loan or
Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit
Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of
Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under
Section 2.8.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];

               (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

               (iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender
against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment,
counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any
time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of
Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any
underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary
for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

               (v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency,

presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in
connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services
relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates
has been notified thereof;

presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit;

               (vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit,
or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit,
or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any
property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

               (viii) any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of

notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after the Issuing Lender
shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit
and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

               (ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

               (x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

               (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the

          2.8.8 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save
harmless the Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and

counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates
may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of
Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing
Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or
(B) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Lender or any of Issuing Lender’s Affiliates of a proper
demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act
or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government
or governmental authority.

- 25 -

 

          2.8.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing
Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters
of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be
responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other
Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an
issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its
Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of
Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with
any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan
Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute
between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee;
(iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by
mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds
thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing
under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
the Issuing Lender or the its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any
governmental authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of,
any of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through
(viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any
Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or
expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any
change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

               Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its
Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing
Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a
Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face
substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may
honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was
pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise,
and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially
been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may
honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment,
upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is
being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other
document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant

- 26 -

 

Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any
paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the
place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the
Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request
to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar
document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit
that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in
connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

               In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above,
any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or
omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting
liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

          2.8.10 Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first
business day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and Borrower a schedule of the Letters
of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the
date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any),
and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month,
and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may
request.

3. TERM LOANS

     3.1 Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying
upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally, and not jointly,
agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such
principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such Lender’s Term Loan
Commitment.

     3.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans; Repayment Terms. The
obligations of each Lender to make Term Loans to the Borrower shall be in the proportion that such
Lender’s Term Loan Commitment bears to the Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders to the Borrower,
but each Lender’s Term Loan to the Borrower shall never exceed its Term Loan Commitment. The
failure of any Lender to make a Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to
make a Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder. The
Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Closing Date. The Term
Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to
borrow, repay and reborrow under Section 3.1 [Term Loan Commitments]. The Term Loans shall be
payable in equal quarterly installments of principal, each in the amount of $821,428.57, on each
Payment Date until the earlier of the Expiration Date or acceleration of the Notes, when the entire
unpaid balance of the Term Loans and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Loan Documents
shall be paid in full.

4. INTEREST RATES

     4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the
outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or

- 27 -

 

LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different
Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and
may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the
Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time
outstanding more than six (6) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and
provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing,
the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans and the
Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the LIBOR
Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of
the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.10 [Indemnity] in connection with such
conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds
such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to
such Lender’s highest lawful rate.

          4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall have the right to
select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:

               (i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time
effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

               (ii) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

          4.1.2 Term Loan Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall have the right to select
from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Term Loans:

               (i) Term Loan Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective
as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

               (ii) Term Loan LIBOR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

          4.1.3 Swing Loan Interest Rate Options. Swing Loans shall accrue interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

          4.1.4 Rate Quotations. The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before
the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in
effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when
the election is made.

- 28 -

 

     4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew
a LIBOR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request.
The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of,
renewal of, or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Option:

          4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR
Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of $300,000.00 and not less than $300,000.00; and

          4.2.2 Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first
day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without
duplication in payment of interest for such day.

     4.3 Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:

          4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of
interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.8.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or
Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;

          4.3.2 Other Obligations. Each other Obligation hereunder, if not paid or reimbursed
(as applicable) when due to be paid or reimbursed, but without duplication of any default rate of
interest already applicable to such other Obligation by its terms, shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Revolving Credit Base Rate
Option plus the Applicable Margin plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation
becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full; and

          4.3.3 Acknowledgment. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred
to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have
become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to
additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon
demand by Administrative Agent.

     4.4 LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

          4.4.1 Unascertainable. If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be
determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

               (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such LIBOR Rate, or

               (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank
eurodollar market relating to the LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights
specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

          4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender
shall have determined that:

               (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies has
been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such

- 29 -

 

Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official
Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the
force of Law), or

               (ii) such LIBOR Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of
the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

               (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the
relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies,
respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in
the interbank eurodollar market,

then the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the notice requirements outlined in Section 4.4.3
[Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], have the rights specified in such Section 4.4.3.

          4.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified
in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the
Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2
[Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify
the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances
of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and
certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such
notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the
Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the
case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a
LIBOR Rate Option shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the
Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative
Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to
such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a
determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the
Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Option and such
Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for
selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to
such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2
[Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrower shall, subject to the
Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender
to which a LIBOR Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan
to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in
accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments and Revolving Credit Commitments Reductions].
Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be
converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified
date.

     4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new
Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option at the
expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have

- 30 -

 

converted
such Borrowing Tranche to the
Revolving Credit Base Rate Option or Term Loan Base Rate Option, as applicable, commencing
upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

5. PAYMENTS

     5.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal,
interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or
amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due
without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an
action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at the Principal Office for the account of PNC Bank with respect to the Swing Loans and for the
ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately
available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders
in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00
a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to
the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for
each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and
interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account
stated.” At the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deliver to Borrower
a statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under
this Agreement as of the date of such statement.

     5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Lender
according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest
Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest,
Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee)
or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except
as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event
specified in Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 5.8
[Increased Costs]) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and,
if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower or
principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be
made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 5.1 [Payments].

     5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon
security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or
interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other
such obligations greater than
its Ratable Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and

- 31 -

 

(b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make
such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

          (i)  if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored
to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law
(including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

          (ii)  the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other
than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3
shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of
such participation.

     5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.

     5.5 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies
shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the LIBOR
Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the first day of each month and
(ii) the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans. Interest on mandatory prepayments of
principal under Section 5.7 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be due on the date such mandatory
prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation
shall be due
and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and
payable (whether on the stated Expiration Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

- 32 -

 

     5.6 Voluntary Prepayments and Revolving Credit Commitments Reduction.

          5.6.1 Right to Prepay or Reduce Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have
the right at its option from time to time to prepay Term Loans and/or reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments (with a corresponding prepayment) in whole or part without premium or penalty (except
as provided in Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and
Section 5.10 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Term Loans, or
reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments (with a corresponding prepayment), it shall provide a
prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior
to the date of prepayment of Loans accruing interest at the LIBOR Rate Option or prior to 10:00
a.m., on the day of prepayment of Loans accruing interest at the Base Rate Option setting forth the
following information:

     (x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment of Term Loans or
reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments is to be made; and

     (y) the total principal amount of such prepayment of Term Loans or Revolving Credit
Commitments reduction, which shall be in a minimum amount equal to the applicable minimum amount of
a comparable Borrowing Tranche under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan
Requests].

               All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Term Loans for which
a prepayment or Revolving Credit Commitments reduction notice is given, together with interest on
such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be
due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed
prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 5.6.1
[Right to Prepay or Reduce Revolving Credit Commitments] shall be applied to the unpaid
installments of principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of scheduled maturities. Except
as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays
a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the
prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Revolving Credit Loans and then to Term Loans; and
(ii) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence,
first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the LIBOR Rate Option
applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the
Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity].

          5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under
Section 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8
[Increased Costs], or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a
Non-Complying Lender or otherwise, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other
than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section
11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole
expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an

- 33 -

 

assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that:

     (i)  the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

     (ii)  such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

     (iii)  in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9
[Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
and

     (iv)  such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

     5.7 Mandatory Prepayments.

          5.7.1 Sale of Assets; Debt or Equity Issuance. (i) Within five (5) Business Days of
any sale of assets authorized by clause (iv), (vi) or (vii) of Section 8.2.7 [Disposition of Assets
or Subsidiaries], the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Term Loans
equal to the proceeds of such sale net of taxes, commissions and fees (all as determined in good
faith by the Borrower), together with accrued interest on such principal amount; and (ii) within
five (5) Business Days of any issuance of Indebtedness, or of any issuance of capital securities or
other equity interests (except for issuances permitted under clause (i) of Section 8.2.12 [Issuance
of Stock]), in each case as relates to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party, the
Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Term Loans equal to the proceeds of
such issuance net of taxes, commissions and fees (all as determined in good faith by the Borrower),
together with accrued interest on such principal amount. All prepayments pursuant to this
Section 5.7.1 shall be applied first to payment of the principal amount of the Term Loans by
application to the unpaid installments of principal in the inverse order of scheduled maturities,
and then to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments.

          5.7.2 Application Among Interest Rate Options. All prepayments required pursuant to
this Section 5.7 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of
the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option. In
accordance with Section 5.10 [Indemnity], the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or
expense, including loss of
margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a LIBOR
Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

     5.8 Increased Costs.

          5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

- 34 -

 

                    (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the
LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

                    (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect
to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan under
the LIBOR Rate Option made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section
5.9 [Taxes] and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender or the Issuing Lender); or

                    (iii) impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option made by
such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan under the LIBOR Rate Option (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

          5.8.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or
such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or
the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or
the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New
Loans. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender to the Administrative Agent setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or
5.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such

- 35 -

 

Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt
thereof.

          5.8.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the
date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

          5.8.5 Return of Overpayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Section 5.8, if any Lender has exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 5.8 and
subsequent thereto determines that the additional amounts paid by the Borrower to such Lender
pursuant to this Section 5.8 exceed the amount which such Lender is actually required to be
compensated under this Section 5.8, the applicable Lender shall refund the amount of such excess
to the Borrower.

     5.9 Taxes. 

          5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if
the Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any
Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

          5.9.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.
Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.9.1 [Payments Free of Taxes] above, the Borrower
shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

          5.9.3 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within thirty (30) days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid
by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a

- 36 -

 

Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 5.9.3, if the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender has exercised its
rights pursuant to this Section 5.9.3 and subsequent thereto determines that the indemnification
amounts paid by the Borrower to such Person pursuant to this Section 5.9.3 exceed the amount which
such Person is actually required to be indemnified under this Section 5.9.3, the applicable Person
shall refund the amount of such excess to the Borrower.

          5.9.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Official Body, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          5.9.5 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of a such documentation claiming a
reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its
reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a
withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations. Further, the
Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations
against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount
of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal
Revenue Code. In addition, any
Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether
or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

               Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on
or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if
such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

               (i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

               (ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

- 37 -

 

               (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or

               (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made.

     5.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8
[Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all
liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection
with funds acquired by a Lender to fund or maintain Loans subject to a LIBOR Rate Option) which
such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any

               (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a LIBOR Rate Option
applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such
payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or
prepayment is then due),

               (ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise)
in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] or
Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary
Prepayments etc.], or

               (iii) default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any
failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal,
interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

          If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify
the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include
such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such
Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense.
Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount
shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender within thirty (30) days after such notice
is given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.10, if any Lender
has exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 5.10 and subsequent thereto determines that the
indemnification amounts paid by the Borrower to such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.10 exceed
the amount which such Lender is actually required to be indemnified under this Section 5.10, the
applicable Lender shall refund the amount of such excess to the Borrower.

     5.11 Settlement Date Procedures. The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans
and PNC Bank may make Swing Loans as provided herein and, in order to minimize the transfer of
funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent resulting

- 38 -

 

therefrom, the Administrative
Agent may establish periodic settlement dates (each, a “Settlement Date”) on which the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving
Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”), and on which each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and
its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share
of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving
Credit Loans, in each case within time periods reasonably established by the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on
the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on mandatory prepayment dates. These
settlement procedures may be established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and no
settlement procedures enacted pursuant to this Section 5.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their
obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant hereto.
The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each
Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the
outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent
to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

          6.1.4 No Conflict; Material Agreements; Consents. Neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any Loan Party nor the consummation of the
transactions herein or therein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or

(i) the terms and conditions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited
partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement
or other organizational documents of any Loan Party or (ii) any Law or any material contract (as
defined under Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and

          6.1.6 Financial Statements.

               (i) Historical Statements. The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent
copies of its audited consolidated year-end financial statements for and as of the end of the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (such annual statements being referred to as the
“Statements”). The Statements were compiled from the books and records maintained by the
Borrower’s management, are correct and complete and fairly represent the consolidated financial
condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results
of operations for the fiscal periods then ended and have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP consistently applied, subject (in the case of the interim statements) to normal year-end
audit adjustments.

               (ii) Accuracy of Financial Statements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the
Borrower has any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments that are
not disclosed in the Statements or in the notes thereto, and except as disclosed therein there are
no unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the
Borrower which may cause a Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2008, no Material Adverse
Change has occurred.

          6.1.7 Margin Stock. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party

Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any Loan has been or will be
used, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend
credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or which is
inconsistent with the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party holds or intends to
hold margin stock in amounts such that more than 25% of the reasonable value of the assets of any
Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party are or will be represented by margin stock.

          6.1.8 Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any
certificate, statement, agreement or other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection herewith or therewith, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained

- 41 -

 

herein and
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no
fact known to any Loan Party which materially adversely affects the business, property, assets,
financial condition, results of operations or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan
Party which has not been set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower’s documents filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or in the certificates, statements, agreements or other
documents furnished in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to or at the date
hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

          6.1.9 Taxes. All federal, state, local and other tax returns required to have been
filed with respect to each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party have been filed, and
payment or adequate provision has been made for the payment of all taxes, fees, assessments and
other governmental charges which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments
received, except to the extent that such taxes, fees, assessments and other charges are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserves
or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made.

          6.1.10 Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Etc.
Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party owns or possesses all the material
patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, registrations, franchises,
permits and rights necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
presently conducted and planned to be conducted by such Loan Party or Subsidiary, without known
possible, alleged or actual conflict with the rights of others.

          6.1.11 Liens in the Collateral. The Liens in the Collateral granted to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral Assignment, the
Patent, Trademark and Copyright Assignment, the Pledge Agreement, and the Security Agreement
(collectively, the “Collateral Documents”) constitute and will continue to constitute Prior
Security Interests. All filing fees and other expenses in connection with the perfection of such
Liens have been or will be paid by the Borrower.

          6.1.12 Insurance. The properties of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries are
insured pursuant to policies and other bonds which are valid and in full force and effect and which
provide adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to
insure the assets and risks of each such Loan Party and Subsidiary in accordance with prudent
business practice in the industry of such Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

          6.1.13 ERISA Compliance. (i) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with
the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state Laws. Each Plan that is
intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter
from the IRS or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with
respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent,
or cause the loss of, such qualification or the Plan is a prototype Plan with respect to which the
Plan sponsor obtained a favorable opinion letter from the IRS. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate
have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no
application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412
of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

- 42 -

 

          (ii) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (a) no Pension Plan has
any unfunded pension liability (i.e. excess of benefit liabilities over the current value of that
Pension Plan’s assets, determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding the Pension
Plan for the applicable plan year); (b) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or
reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan
(other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (c) neither Borrower nor
any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has
occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such
liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (d)
neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to
Sections 4069(a) or 4212(c) of ERISA.

          6.1.14 Environmental Matters.
Each Loan Party is and, to the knowledge of each respective Loan Party and each of its
Subsidiaries is and has been in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except as disclosed
on Schedule 6.1.14; provided that such matters so disclosed could not in the
aggregate result in a Material Adverse Change.

          6.1.15 Labor Matters. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.1.15, no Loan Party is
party to any collective bargaining or other labor contracts. Each Loan Party is in compliance with
all such contracts to which it is party, all such contracts to which it is party are in full force
and effect, and no other party to any such contract has disputed or indicated an intent to dispute
any provision thereof.

     6.2 Updates to Schedules. Should any of the information or disclosures provided on
any of the Schedules attached hereto pursuant to this Article 6 become outdated or incorrect, the
Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent in writing with such revisions or updates to such
Schedule as may be necessary or appropriate to update or correct same, concurrent with its delivery
of a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Borrower];
provided, however, that, in the case of any such Schedule which becomes outdated or
incorrect in any respect which is material (whether material to the Schedule itself, taken as a
whole and in the context of the related representations and warranties, or otherwise material), the
Borrower shall promptly revise or update same in advance of delivery of a Compliance Certificate;
and further provided, however, that no such Schedule shall be deemed to have been
amended, modified or superseded by any such correction or update, nor shall any breach of warranty
or representation resulting from the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such Schedule be deemed to
have been cured thereby, unless and until the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute
discretion shall have accepted in writing such revisions or updates to such Schedule.

7. CONDITIONS OF LENDING AND ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT

     The obligation of each Lender to make Loans and of the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of

10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints PNC Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions.

     10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder
and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

     10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

          (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Potential Default or Event of 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 the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel,

 - 57 - 

 

may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;
and

          (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

          The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) 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 as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or
Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential
Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the
Issuing Lender.

          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or 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 Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

     10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender,
the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the
Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such
Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

     10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or

 - 58 - 

 

through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from
the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a
successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section
10.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10
and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent
was acting as Administrative Agent.

     If PNC Bank resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 10.6, PNC Bank shall also
resign as an Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder,
such successor shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC Bank as
the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC Bank shall be discharged from all of
its respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of

 - 59 - 

 

Credit issued by PNC Bank, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to
PNC Bank to effectively assume the obligations of PNC Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the
Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

     10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, PNC
Capital Markets, LLC, the arranger listed on the cover page hereof, shall not have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its
capacity, if applicable and expressly identified as such, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or
the Issuing Lender hereunder.

     10.9 Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a
nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (the
“Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Administrative Agent, dated as of May 14, 2008, as
amended from time to time.

     10.10 Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors. The Lenders and Issuing

Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions].

     10.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or

          11.3.2 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of
any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements
for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance
by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender 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), (iii) breach of
representations, warranties or covenants of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, including any such items or losses relating to or arising under Environmental Laws or
pertaining

 - 62 - 

 

to environmental matters, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a
claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad
faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower
or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          11.3.3 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 11.3.1 [Costs and Expenses] or 11.3.2
[Indemnification by the Borrower] to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such
Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount,
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related
Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or
Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

          11.3.4 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by Borrower] shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.

made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business

connection with such payment or action.

expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          11.8.2 Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:

               (i) Minimum Amounts.

                         (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

                         (B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 11.8.2, the aggregate amount of
the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be
less than $5,000,000.00 in Commitment and Loans in the aggregate, unless each of the Administrative

 - 65 - 

 

Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

               (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

               (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for
the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:

                         (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required under the circumstances described in Section 11.8.2(i)(B) above, and in other
circumstances the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

                         (B) the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to
participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

               (iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00, and the assignee, if it is
not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by
the Administrative Agent.

               (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or
any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

               (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural
person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3
[Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [LIBOR Rate
Unascertainable, etc.], 5.8 [Increased Costs], and 11.3 [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this Section 11.8.2 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 11.8.4
[Participations].

 - 66 - 

 

          11.8.3 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments
of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such
register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          11.8.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuing
Lender 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 to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 11.1.1
[Increase of Commitment, Etc.], 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3 [Release of
Collateral or Guarantor]). Subject to Section 11.8.5 [Limitations upon Participant Rights
Successors and Assigns Generally], the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 4.4 [LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available] and 5.8 [Increased Costs; Indemnity] to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]. To the
extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2.3
[Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender.

          11.8.5 Limitations upon Participant Rights Successors and Assigns Generally. A Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs], 5.9
[Taxes] or 11.3 [ Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] than the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of
the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 5.9 [Taxes] unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section
5.9.5 [Status of Lenders] as though it were a Lender.

          11.8.6 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this

 - 67 - 

 

Agreement 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.

whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential subject to the terms of this Section 11.9.1),

in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and
its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information
(Y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the other Loan
Parties and not through a breach of this Section 11.9.1 by the Administrative Agent, a Lender or
the Issuing Lender. 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. The provisions of this Section 11.9.1
shall survive for one (1) year after the payment in full of the Obligations.

          11.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. Each Loan Party acknowledges that
from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or
provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or
otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of
the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender
by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or
Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 11.9.1 [General].

with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the

understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior

     For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the
Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate:

     (a) The Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of
Credit Fee Rate shall be determined on the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio computed
pursuant to a Compliance Certificate to be delivered on the Closing Date.

     (b) The Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of
Credit Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing
Date based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in the
Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate or the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate
computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate
evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 8.3.3 [Compliance Certificate].

     (c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage
Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper
calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the
Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after
the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to

rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under
Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] or 4.3 [Interest After Default] or 9 [Default]. The
Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and

Article 8 — Exercise of the Option

	8.1	 	The Options may only be exercised on the last day of the Option Period.
	 
	8.2	 	At the request of Option Holder the Option Period may be shortened for all or part of the
Options. The Revised Option Period will then replace the Option Period for part or all the
Options, whichever the request may be. On the last day of the Revised Option Period Option
Holder may exercise the Options for which Option Holder has requested the Revised Option
Period. In the written request Option Holder is required to notify Employer of the requested
end date of the Revised Option Period.
	 
	8.3	 	A written request for a Revised Option Period during the Embargo Period shall not be honoured
by Employer.
	 
	8.4	 	The Options may be exercised only in accordance with established ASML procedures existing at
the time of exercise;
	 
	8.5	 	When exercising the Options Option Holder must comply with the “ASML Rules of Conduct
concerning Insider Information”, as in force at the time of exercising;
	 
	8.6	 	In case of termination of the employment relationship between Employee and Employer due to
Employee’s (i) death, or (ii) incapability to act, the Options may be exercised during the
entire Option Period, after the Embargo Period has expired. In case the remaining Option
Period, measured from the moment of termination for aforementioned reasons, consists of less
than 12 (twelve) months, the Option Period will be extended such that the remaining Option
Period will be at least 12 (twelve) months counting from the date of the termination.
Therefore, if the date of termination for reasons mentioned in the first sentence of this
Article, falls within 12 (twelve) months before the end of the Option Period as defined in
Article 5.1, the Option Period will effectively be prolonged beyond the period as defined in
Article 5.1;

In case of termination of the employment relationship between Employee and Employer due to
Employee’s (iii) retirement or (iv) occupational disability (within the meaning of the
Dutch Disablement Benefits Act [Wet op de Arbeidsongeschiktheids-verzekering]), the
Options may be exercised during the entire Option Period, after the Embargo Period has
expired;

Retirement for these Option Conditions is defined as (a) leaving the employment of
Employer at the age of 55 (fifty five) years or later in case Employee is eligible to
(early) retirement payments paid by a State, Federal or private pension fund, or (b)
leaving the employment of Employer under the “Rule of 65” without being eligible to
(early) retirement payments paid by a State, Federal or private pension fund.

	UNDER THE ASML STOCK OPTION PLAN — (Version October 2007)
	 	 
	044 070309 — 8 JHak
	 	 

 

 

The “Rule of 65” determines that Employee is deemed to retire for these Option Conditions
in case Employee leaves the employment of Employer at the age of 55 (fifty five) years
after 10 (ten) years of continued employment with ASML, ASML Group Company or her legal
predecessors. For every additional year in excess of 55 (fifty five) years of age,
Employee is required to have one year less of continued employment, until the age of 65
(sixty five) years. Employee is deemed to retire for these Option Conditions in case
Employee leaves the employment of Employer at the age of 65 (sixty five) years with one or
less years of continued employment with ASML, ASML Group Company or her legal
predecessors. Paragraph 9 of Article 8 is not applicable;

	8.7	 	If, during the Option Period, Employee is terminated for Cause by Employer or Employee is
terminated by Employer on account of another reason imputable to Employee, regardless of
whether employment activities have been terminated, any Options not yet exercised shall lapse
forthwith. All Options that have thus become null and void will do so without Option Holder
being entitled to any compensation in this respect from Employer or another ASML Group
Company. Paragraph 9 of Article 8 is not applicable;
	 
	8.8	 	In case of termination of the employment relationship between Employee and Employer for
reasons other than those mentioned in paragraph 6 or 7 of Article 8, without immediate
re-employment of Employee by Employer or another ASML Group Company, all Options granted which
are not exercised at the time of termination of the employment relationship shall lapse
forthwith, insofar as paragraph 9 of Article 8 is not applicable. All Options that have thus
become null and void will do so without Option Holder being entitled to any compensation in
this respect from Employer or another ASML Group Company;
	 
	8.9	 	In case of termination of the employment relationship between Employee and Employer as
described in paragraph 8 of Article 8, other than being voluntary termination by Employee, the
following “90 day rule” will apply.

The “90 day rule” determines that exercisable options may be exercised for a period 90
days from the Date of Notice, the Date of Notice being the date on which the Formal Notice
Period commences. In the absence of a Formal Notice Period exercisable options may be
exercised for 90 days from the Date of Termination, the Date of Termination being the date
on which the employment relationship between Employee and Employer is terminated. Options that become exercisable after the expiration of the
embargo period during the 90 day period may be exercised until the end of the 90 day
period as stipulated in this paragraph.
