(a) Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made by an irrevocable written request
by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (which notice must be received by Agent no later than
3:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date in the case of a
Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, in either case specifying (i) the amount of such
Borrowing, (ii) in the case of Advances, whether such Borrowing is to be a US Borrower Advance, a
UK Borrower Advance, or a PR Borrower Advance, (iii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a
Business Day, (iv) whether such Borrowing is to be of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, (v) if
such Borrowing is to be of LIBOR Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, and
(vi) the location and number of the account to which the funds are to be disbursed (provided that,
if no such account is specified, funds shall be direct to the Designated Account). At Agent’s
election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give
Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, upon Agent’s
request, Borrowers agree that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24
hours of the giving of such notice and the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not
affect the validity of the request.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) Making of Loans.

(i) Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section
2.3(a), Agent shall immediately notify the Lenders on the Funding Date by telecopy,
telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each
Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested
Borrowing immediately available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s
Account. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Administrative
Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds
equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account or such other
account designated by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i),
whereupon Administrative Borrower will transfer such funds to the appropriate
Borrower; provided, however, Agent shall not request any Lender to
make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any Advance if Agent shall
have actual knowledge that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the
applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or the requested
Borrowing would exceed the US Borrower Availability, the UK Borrower Availability,
or the PR Borrower Availability, as applicable, on such Funding Date.

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date
or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Closing Date, prior to the time Agent
makes such funds available to Administrative Borrower on the date of such Borrowing,
that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for
the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount
available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Agent may
(but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender
shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available
funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount,
that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount
available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each
day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to
amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If
such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such
Lender’s Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If
such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding
Date, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon
demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account,
together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to
the Advances composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any
Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation
hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by
such other Lender on any Funding Date.

(iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any
payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the
absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such
payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in
accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting
Lender’s Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so
directed by Administrative Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default had
occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Advance was
not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrowers as if
such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrowers. Subject to the foregoing,
Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the
account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and
retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the
purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such
Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment
shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to
such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared
or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders,
Agent, and Administrative Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s
default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the
applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in
respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase
or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the
performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and
obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Obligors of their
duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such
Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall
constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall
entitle Administrative Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to
arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender,
such substitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent. In connection with the
arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right
to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed
form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that
it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do
so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other
than Bank Product Obligations, but including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of
the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever; provided, however, that any such assumption of the
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of
any of the Lender Groups’ or Obligors’ rights or remedies against any such
Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

(f) Intentionally Omitted.

(g) Notation. Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Advances owing to
each Lender and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such records shall,
absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. In addition, each
Lender is authorized, at such Lender’s option, to note the date and amount of each payment or
prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Advances in its books and records, including computer
records.

(h) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously
and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be
responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or
other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or
decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and
(ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender
from its obligations hereunder.

2.4 Payments

(a) Payments by Borrowers.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers
shall be made to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be
made in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 p.m. (California time) on
the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 3:00 p.m.
(California time), shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business
Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following
Business Day. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than
a Business Day, except to the extent the amount thereof is charged to the Loan
Account pursuant to Section 2.10 on or as of such due date, the maturity thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments
of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during
such extension.

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Administrative Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that any Borrower will not make such
payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower
has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately
available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount
then due such Lender. If and to the extent the applicable Borrower does not make
such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall
repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with
interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(b) Apportionment and Application of Payments.

(i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except
as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including letter agreements between
Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be
apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of
the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of
fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate
account, after giving effect to any letter agreements between Agent and individual
Lenders) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of
the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee relates.

(ii) Except as provided in Sections 2.4(b)(v) and 2.7(b), all payments shall be

Obligors as determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion and then due to
Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

Obligations, the priority of such payment shall be deferred to item “eighth”
below),

F. sixth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to pay the principal of all US Borrower Advances until paid in

Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral in an amount up to the amount of
the Bank Product Reserve, in respect of Bank Products provided or
outstanding to any US Obligor, established prior to the occurrence of, and
not in contemplation of, the subject Event of Default until the US Obligors
and their Subsidiaries’ obligations in respect of the then extant Bank

H. eighth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to pay any other Obligations applicable to any US Obligor

benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral in an amount up to
the amount determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion as the amount
necessary to secure any US Obligor’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations in
respect of the then extant Bank Products related to such US Obligor), and

I. ninth, to US Obligors (to be wired to the Designated
Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(iii) Except as provided in Sections 2.4(b)(v) and 2.7(b), all payments shall
be remitted to Agent and all such payments made by a Foreign Obligor and all
proceeds of Collateral owned by such Foreign Obligor received by Agent, shall be
applied as follows:

A. first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses owed by such Foreign

to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

and individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until
paid in full,

E. fifth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and at Agent’s election, to pay any Bank Product Obligations
then due and owing by such Foreign Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,

is continuing and Agent has not agreed to allow payments with respect to
Bank Product Obligations, the priority of such payment shall be deferred to
item “eighth” below),

F. sixth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all PR Borrower Advances and
UK Borrower Advances until paid in full, (ii) to Agent, to be held by Agent,
for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and Lenders, as cash collateral in
an amount up to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage for such
Foreign Obligor until paid in full, and (iii) to Agent, to be held by Agent,
for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral in an
amount up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve, in respect of Bank
Products provided or outstanding to Foreign Obligor, established prior to
the occurrence of, and not in contemplation of, the subject Event of Default
until such Foreign Obligor and its Subsidiaries’ obligations in respect of
the then extant Bank Products related to such Foreign Obligor have been paid
in full or the cash collateral amount has been exhausted,

H. eighth, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to pay any other Obligations applicable to such Foreign Obligor
(including the provision of amounts to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the

the amount determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion as the amount
necessary to secure such Foreign Obligor’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations
in respect of the then extant Bank Products related to such Foreign Obligor
or such Subsidiary), and

I. ninth, to Foreign Obligors (to be wired to the Designated
Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(iv) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable
wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be
entitled to receive.

(v) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, this Section 2.4(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by any
Borrower specified by such Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations
then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement.

(vi) For purposes of this Section 2.4, “paid in full” means payment of all
amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including
loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including
interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default
interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any of
the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any
Insolvency Proceeding.

(vii) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this
Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents
shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in
concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that
cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall
control and govern.

2.5 Overadvances. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations (other
than Bank Product Obligations) owed by any Borrower to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or
Section 2.12 is greater than either the Dollar limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section
2.12, as applicable (an “Overadvance”), such Borrower immediately shall pay to Agent, in
cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in
accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b). In addition, each Borrower hereby
promises to pay its Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in
Dollars in full as and when due and payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

2.6 Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations

(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations (except for undrawn
Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to any Borrower’s
Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as
follows:

(i) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of an Advance that is a Base Rate
Loan (or interest thereon or fees charged in connection therewith), or is otherwise
accruing interest at the rate applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans, at a
per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin;

(ii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of an Advance that is a LIBOR Rate
Loan (or interest thereon or fees charged in connection therewith), at a per annum
rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin;

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. Each Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit has been issued
shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, subject to any letter agreement between
Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions,
fees, and costs set forth in Section 2.12(h)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate
Margin per annum times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
issued for its account.

(c) Default Rate. Upon (x) the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
(and at the election of Agent or the Required Lenders), and (y) Agent having given Administrative
Borrower written notice of such Event of Default and Agent’s election to charge increased interest
and/or Letter of Credit fees under this Section 2.6(c) (provided that no such notice is
required if the Event of Default is an Event of Default under Section 8.4 or 8.5 hereof),

(i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank
Product Obligations) that have been charged to any Borrowers’ Loan Accounts pursuant
to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum
rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable
hereunder, and

(ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall be increased to
2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

(d) Payment. Except as provided to the contrary in Sections 2.11 and 2.13, interest, Letter
of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the
first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding. Each Borrower
hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to such Borrower, to charge such
interest and fees, all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), the charges, commissions,
fees, and costs provided for in Section 2.12(h) (as and when accrued or incurred), the fees and
costs provided for in Section 2.11 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and
when due and payable under any Loan Document (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank
Product Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the then extant Bank Product
Reserve) to each such Borrower’s Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute US
Borrower Advances, UK Borrower Advances, or PR Borrower Advances, as applicable, hereunder and
shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to US Borrower Advances, UK Borrower Advances, or
PR Borrower Advances, as applicable, hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded
by being charged to Borrowers’ Loan Accounts and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and
shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans hereunder.

(e) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed
on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate
is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate
automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in
the Base Rate.

(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or
rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the
highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final
determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this
Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated
within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum
allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are
and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received
from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the
principal balance of such Borrower’s Obligations to the extent of such excess.

2.7 Cash Management.

(a) Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12, each Borrower shall deposit or cause to
be deposited promptly, all of its Collections into an account maintained with Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association or a bank account in such Borrower’s name and with respect to which Agent has
been granted control under Section 9-104 of the Code (a “Cash Management Account” and each
bank at which such an account is maintained, a “Cash Management Bank”). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association shall be the primary Cash Management Bank
with respect to all bank accounts maintained in the United States.

(b) Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12, each Cash Management Bank shall
establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements with Agent and the applicable Borrower, in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent. Each such Cash Management Agreement shall provide,
among other things, that (i) the Cash Management Bank agrees that it will comply with instructions
originated by Agent directing disposition of the funds in such Cash Management Account without
further consent by the applicable Borrower (which instructions shall only be given by Agent during
a Triggering Event), (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any
other claim against the applicable Cash Management Account, other than for payment of its service
fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Cash Management Account and
for returned checks or other items of payment and (iii) only with respect to the Cash Management
Agreements of US Borrower, upon notice from Agent (which shall only be given by Agent during a
Triggering Event), it immediately will forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Cash
Management Account of US Borrower to the Agent’s Account for US Borrower (it being understood that
this Section 2.7 does not apply to the Designated Account).

(c) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative
Borrower may add or replace a Cash Management Account Bank or Cash Management Account.

(d) Except as otherwise permitted under subsections (a) and (b) above and Section 7.12, each
Cash Management Account shall be a cash collateral account, with all cash, checks and similar items
of payment in such account securing payment of the Obligations of the Borrower that is the account
party with respect to such account, and in which such Borrower has granted a Lien to Agent.

2.8 Crediting Payments.

The receipt of any payment item by Agent (whether from transfers to Agent by the Cash
Management Banks pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be considered a
payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal
funds made to the Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented
for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers
shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly.
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed
received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before
3:00 p.m. (California time). If any payment item is received into the Agent’s Account on a
non-Business Day or after 3:00 p.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have
been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

2.9 Designated Account.

Agent is authorized to make the Advances, and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the
Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from
anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person, or without instructions if pursuant to Section
2.6(d). Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the
Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by
Borrowers and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and
Administrative Borrower, any Advance requested by Borrowers and made by the Lenders hereunder shall
be made to the Designated Account.

2.10 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.

Agent shall maintain a separate account on its books in the name of each of the Borrowers
(collectively, the “Loan Accounts”) on which each Borrower will be charged with its
particular Advances made by the Lenders to such Borrower or for such Borrower’s account, the
Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender for such Borrower’s account, and with all other payment
Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations),
including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with
Section 2.8, the Loan Accounts will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrowers
or for Borrowers’ account, including all amounts received in the Agent’s Account from any Cash
Management Bank except, in the case of US Borrower, such amounts that have been forwarded to US
Borrower’s Deposit Account pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.7(b). Agent shall render
statements regarding the Loan Accounts to Administrative Borrower, including principal, interest,
fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses
owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and
accurate and constitute an account stated between each Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within
30 days after receipt thereof by Administrative Borrower, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to
Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

2.11 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the following fees and charges, which fees
and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated
thereafter) and shall be apportioned among the Lenders in accordance with the terms of letter
agreements between Agent and individual Lenders:

(a) Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each quarter during the term of this Agreement in
arrears, an unused line fee in the amount equal to twenty-five basis points (0.25%) per annum times
(i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (ii) the sum of the following, with each average determined
as of the immediately preceding quarter: (1) the average Daily Balance of US Borrower Advances plus
(2) the average Daily Balance of the US Borrower Letter of Credit Usage plus (3) the average Daily
Balance of UK Borrower Advances plus (4) the average Daily Balance of the UK Borrower Letter of
Credit Usage plus (5) the average Daily Balance of PR Borrower Advances plus (6) the average Daily
Balance of the PR Borrower Letter of Credit Usage,

(b) Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, an unused line fee in the amount equal to twenty basis
points (0.20%) of the Maximum Revolver Amount (the “Upfront Fee”), and

(c) Audit, Appraisal, and Valuation Charges. After the occurrence of an Event of Default,
reasonable audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges regardless of whether any of the
foregoing was performed by personnel employed by Agent, or one or more third Persons.

2.12 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue
letters of credit for the account of US Borrower (each, an “US Borrower L/C”). To request
the issuance of an US Borrower L/C (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding US
Borrower L/C), Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the
Issuing Lender and Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of an US Borrower L/C, or identifying the
US Borrower L/C to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension, the date on which such US Borrower L/C is to expire, the amount of such US Borrower L/C,
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and such other information as shall be necessary
to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such US Borrower L/C. The Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to issue a US Borrower Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after
giving effect to the issuance of such requested US Borrower Letter of Credit:

(i) the US Borrower Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the US Borrower Maximum
Revolver Amount (when such US Borrower Letter of Credit Usage is added to the then
extant amount of outstanding US Borrower Advances), or

(ii) the US Borrower Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $30,000,000 less the
PR Borrower Letter of Credit Usage less the UK Borrower Letter of Credit Usage, or

(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less
the then extant amount of outstanding Advances.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue
letters of credit for the account of UK Borrower (each, an “UK Borrower L/C”). To request
the issuance of an UK Borrower L/C (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding UK
Borrower L/C), Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy or transmit by electronic
communication to the Issuing Lender and Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of an UK Borrower L/C,
or identifying the UK Borrower L/C to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such UK Borrower L/C is to expire, the amount
of such UK Borrower L/C, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such UK Borrower L/C. The
Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a UK Borrower Letter of Credit if any of the
following would result after giving effect to the issuance of such requested UK Borrower Letter of
Credit:

(i) the UK Borrower Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the UK Borrower Maximum
Revolver Amount (when such UK Borrower Letter of Credit Usage is added to the then
extant amount of outstanding UK Borrower Advances), or

(ii) the UK Borrower Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $30,000,000 less the
PR Borrower Letter of Credit Usage less the US Borrower Letter of Credit Usage, or

(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less
the then extant amount of outstanding Advances.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue
letters of credit for the account of PR Borrower (each, an “PR Borrower L/C”). To request
the issuance of a PR Borrower L/C (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding PR
Borrower L/C), Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the
Issuing Lender and Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a PR Borrower L/C, or identifying the PR
Borrower L/C to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension, the date on which such PR Borrower L/C is to expire, the amount of such PR Borrower L/C,
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and such other information as shall be necessary
to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such PR Borrower L/C. The Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to issue a PR Borrower Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after
giving effect to the issuance of such requested PR Borrower Letter of Credit:

(i) the PR Borrower Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the PR Borrower Maximum
Revolver Amount (when such PR Borrower Letter of Credit Usage is added to the then
extant amount of outstanding PR Borrower Advances);

(ii) the PR Borrower Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $30,000,000 less the
US Borrower Letter of Credit Usage less the UK Borrower Letter of Credit Usage, or

(iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount less
the then extant amount of outstanding Advances.

(d) Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in
the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable
thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a
Letter of Credit, (i) the Borrower that is the account party with respect to such Letter of Credit
immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Agent an amount
equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than (A) 3:00 p.m., California time, on the date that such
L/C Disbursement is made, if Administrative Borrower shall have received written or telephonic
notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 3:00 p.m., California time, on such date, or (B) if such
notice has not been received by Administrative Borrower prior to such time on such date, then (x)
not later than 3:00 p.m., California time, on the Business Day that Administrative Borrower
receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 3:00 p.m., California time, on the date
of receipt, or (y) not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the next Business Day after
receipt of such notice, and (ii) in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement
immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall
bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans under Section 2.6.
To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, the applicable Borrower’s
obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting
Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders
have made payments pursuant to Section 2.12(f) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such
Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interest may appear.

(e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.12(d),
each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing
subsection on the same terms and conditions as if the applicable Borrower had requested such
Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the
Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing
the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the
Lenders, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall
be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender
agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any
payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement
made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section
2.12(d), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by
the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such
remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or
Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 hereof. If any such Lender
fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C
Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this
Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of the
Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless
from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender
Group arising out of or in connection with such Borrower’s Letters of Credit; provided,
however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost,
expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
(including a failure to pay under a Letter of Credit after timely presentation of documents
strictly complying with such Letter of Credit) of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the
Lender Group. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any L/C
issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower’s account, even though this interpretation may be
different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender Group
shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in
following Borrower’s instructions or those contained in such Borrower’s Letter of Credit or any
modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.

(g) Intentionally omitted.

(h) Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs imposed any Issuing Lender relating to
any Letter of Credit in connection with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule of charges for
amendments, extensions, drawings, renewals and other activity related to such Letter of Credit
shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be immediately reimbursable
by each applicable Borrower to Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender.

(i) If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, rule,
or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental
Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement
(irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary
authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and
any successor thereto):

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or
modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or

(ii) there shall be imposed on the Lender Group any other condition regarding
any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto;

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the
cost to the Lender Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof
by the Lender Group (but, as to any Lender, except (x) any costs relating to
payments on account of Taxes and additional amounts required to be paid by
such Lender pursuant to, or explicitly excluded from payment by the Obligor
under, Section 16.11, and (y) any such cost or reduction as a result of a
change of general applicability in (1) taxes imposed on or measured by such
Lender’s net income, or (2) franchise taxes imposed on such Lender, in lieu
of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction, or any political subdivision
thereof, under the laws of which it is organized or otherwise resides for
tax purposes or maintains any lending office), then, and in any such case,
Agent may, at any time within 270 days after the additional cost is incurred
or the amount received is reduced, notify Administrative Borrower, and US
Borrower, UK Borrower, or PR Borrower, as applicable, shall pay on demand
such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Lender
Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on
such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at
the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by
Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a
certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail,
shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and
conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

2.13 LIBOR Option.

(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based
upon the Base Rate, each Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have
interest on all or a portion of the US Borrower Advances, UK Borrower Advances, or PR Borrower
Advances, as applicable, be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on
LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, provided that, subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, in the case of
any Interest Period greater than three months in duration, interest shall be payable at three-month
intervals and on the last day of such Interest Period, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default
in consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof have elected to accelerate
the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement
pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless
Administrative Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest
rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then
applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Agent or Required Lenders may elect to terminate the availability of
the LIBOR Option, and, following receipt by the Administrative Borrower of written notice of such
termination, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at a
rate based on the LIBOR Rate and Agent shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder.

(b) LIBOR Election.

(i) Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR
Option on behalf of the applicable Borrower by notifying Agent prior to 3:00 p.m.
(California time) prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the
“LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of any applicable Borrower’s election of the
LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the US Borrower Advances, UK Borrower
Advances, or PR Borrower Advances, as applicable, and an Interest Period pursuant to
this Section shall be made by Administrative Borrower on behalf of such applicable
Borrower by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR
Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be
confirmed by prompt delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice, if requested by Agent).
Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy
thereof to each of the Lenders having a Commitment.

(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the applicable
Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower shall indemnify,
defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense
incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of
any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any of
such Borrower’s LIBOR Rate Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow (for a reason other than the
failure of Agent or a Lender to make an Advance otherwise required to be made
pursuant to the terms hereof), convert, continue or prepay any of such Borrower’s
LIBOR Rate Loans on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto
(such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding Losses”). Funding
Losses shall, with respect to Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount
determined by Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had
such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto,
for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus
(ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to
be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable
amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Agent or a
Lender delivered to Administrative Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that
Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13(b)(2)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iii) Each Borrower shall have not more than 10 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at
any given time. Each Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate
Loans of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(c) Prepayments. Each Borrower may prepay its LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; provided,
however, that in the event that its LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic
prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of such Borrower’s and its
Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance with Section 2.4 or for any other reason, including early
termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations
pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders
and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses related to such Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.13(b) above.

(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent, in consultation with
Administrative Borrower, with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take
into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or
obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable
law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period,
including changes in tax laws (except, for any Lender, (x) any costs relating to
payments on account of Taxes and additional amounts required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to, or explicitly excluded from payment by the applicable Obligor
under, Section 16.11, and (y) changes of general applicability in (1) taxes imposed
on or measured by such Lender’s net income, or (2) franchise taxes imposed on such
Lender, in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction, or any political
subdivision thereof, under the laws of which it is organized or otherwise resides
for tax purposes or maintains any lending office) and changes in the reserve
requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any
successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs
would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any
such event, the affected Lender shall give Administrative Borrower and Agent notice
of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice
to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender,
Administrative Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such
Lender to furnish to Administrative Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for
adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such
adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment
is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.13(b)(ii) above).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such adjustment of the LIBOR
Rate shall be effective (in respect of any additional or increased costs incurred
prior to the Administrative Borrower’s receipt of the notice referred to below) if
the event giving rise to such additional or increased costs occurred more than 270
days before the relevant Lender’s notice of such event and the related adjustment is
received by the Administrative Borrower.

(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation,
treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application
thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any
Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR
Advances or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge
interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed
circumstances to Agent and Administrative Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit
the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such
Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be
deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and
interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest
at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be
entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no
longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. Each Lender at such time having as its
lending office an office outside the United States agrees to use reasonable efforts
to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for
such a notice of changed circumstances and would not, in the good faith judgment of
such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually
to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest
accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its
Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by
acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.

2.14 Capital Requirements.

If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any
law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding
companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank
holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such
Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder
to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s
then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such
entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify
Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to
pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such
reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in
the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the
assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct
absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging
and attribution methods.

3.3 Conditions Precedent to all Extensions of Credit. The obligation of the Lender

credit hereunder) shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents made with respect to the Borrower requesting an Advance shall be true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of
such date (except in each case to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely
to an earlier date); and

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof.

3.4 Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity
Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders,
shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without
notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in accordance with
Section 9.1.

3.5 Effect of Termination. On the date of termination of this Agreement, all
Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations of Borrowers with respect to any
outstanding Letters of Credit but excluding all Bank Product Obligations) immediately shall become
due and payable without notice or demand (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be
held by Agent in an amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing
the original Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) providing cash
collateral (in an amount determined by Agent as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated
credit exposure) to be held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers with respect to
the then extant Bank Product Obligations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank Product Obligations
shall be subject to the terms and conditions (including as to termination) set forth in the
applicable Bank Product Agreements, and, in connection with any termination of this Agreement, such
termination and the release of any applicable Agent’s Liens shall be subject to the provision by
Borrowers of cash collateral (in an amount determined by Agent as sufficient to satisfy the
reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product
Providers with respect to the then extant Bank Product Obligations. No termination of this
Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Obligors or their Subsidiaries of their duties,
Obligations, or covenants hereunder and the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect
until all Obligations have been paid in full (or cash collateralized as provided above) and the
Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this
Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full (or cash
collateralized as provided above) and the Lender Group’s obligations to provide additional credit
under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, Agent will, at Borrowers’ sole expense,
execute and deliver any UCC termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases,
re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or
release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release,
as of record, the Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by
Agent with respect to the Obligations.

3.6 Early Termination by Borrowers.

Borrowers (acting collectively only) have the option, at any time upon 30 days prior written
notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, to terminate this Agreement by paying to Agent, in
cash, the Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent in an
amount equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original
Letters of Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) providing cash collateral (in an
amount determined by Agent as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be
held by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers with respect to the then extant Bank
Product Obligations), in full. No single Borrower may terminate this Agreement as to such
Borrower. If Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions
of this Section, then the Commitments shall terminate and Borrowers shall be obligated to repay the
Obligations (including (a) either (i) providing cash collateral to be held by Agent in an amount
equal to 105% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage, or (ii) causing the original Letters of
Credit to be returned to the Issuing Lender, and (b) providing cash collateral (in an amount
determined by Agent as sufficient to satisfy the reasonably estimated credit exposure) to be held
by Agent for the benefit of the Bank Product Providers with respect to the then extant Bank Product
Obligations), in full, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such
notice.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Obligor (other than Smart Modular Malaysia,
Modular Brazil and Smart Modular Brazil) has granted, and hereby reaffirms its prior grant to the
Agent (as successor to the Original Agent), and hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, a continuing security interest in all of its right,
title, and interest in all currently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Obligor Collateral
in order to secure prompt repayment of any and all of its Obligations in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Loan Documents and in order to secure prompt performance by Obligors of each
of their covenants and duties under the Loan Documents. The Agent’s Liens in and to the Obligor
Collateral shall attach to all Obligor Collateral without further act on the part of Agent or
Obligors. Anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, except for Permitted Dispositions or other transactions permitted by Section 7.3
or 7.10, Obligors and their Subsidiaries have no authority, express or implied, to dispose of any
item or portion of the Collateral (it being understood, with respect to any such Permitted
Disposition of Obligor Collateral or an Obligor (in each case to a Person other than an Obligor),
Agent’s Liens in and to such Obligor Collateral or, in the event of a Permitted Disposition of an
Obligor, such Obligor’s Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents, shall be released
automatically upon consummation of such Permitted Disposition, and, if the seller in such Permitted
Disposition was an Obligor, the proceeds and products of such Permitted Disposition shall be
subject to Agent’s Liens).

4.2 Negotiable Collateral. In the event that any Obligor Collateral, including
proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral (other than letter of credit rights
and promissory notes in an aggregate amount of up to $1,000,000; provided, however,
that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and if Agent so requests, Borrowers
agree to deliver physical possession or control of such items of Collateral), and if and to the
extent that Agent determines in its Permitted Discretion that perfection or priority of Agent’s
security interest is dependent on or enhanced by possession, the applicable Obligor, promptly
following the request of Agent, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable
Collateral to Agent.

4.3 Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles, and Negotiable Collateral. At any
time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s
designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of the Obligors that the Obligors’ Accounts, chattel paper,
or General Intangibles have been assigned to Agent or that Agent has a security interest therein,
or (b) collect the Obligors’ Accounts, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly and charge
the collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. Each Obligor agrees that it will hold in
trust for the Lender Group, as the Lender Group’s trustee, any of its Collections that it receives
and immediately will deliver, to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.7, such Collections to
Agent or a Cash Management Bank in their original form as received by such Obligor or its
Subsidiaries.

4.4 Filing of Financing Statements; Commercial Tort Claims; Delivery of Additional
Documentation Required.

(a) Each Obligor authorizes Agent to file any financing statement or financing statement
amendment necessary or desirable to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents,
and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office
without the signature of Obligors where permitted by applicable law. Each Obligor hereby ratifies
the filing of any financing statement previously authorized by it filed without the signature such
Obligor prior to the date hereof.

(b) If Obligors or their Subsidiaries acquire any commercial tort claim in excess of
$1,000,000 after the date hereof, Obligors shall promptly (but in any event within 3 Business Days
after such acquisition) deliver to Agent a written description of such commercial tort claim and
shall deliver a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, pursuant
to which the applicable Obligor or its Subsidiary shall pledge and collaterally assign all of its
right, title and interest in and to such commercial tort claim to Agent, as security for the
Obligations (a “Commercial Tort Claim Assignment”).

(c) At any time upon the request of Agent (except as expressly permitted otherwise in the Loan
Documents), Obligors shall execute or deliver to Agent any and all financing statements, financing
statement amendments, original financing statements in lieu of continuation statements, fixture
filings, security agreements, pledges, assignments, Commercial Tort Claim Assignments, endorsements
of certificates of title, to the extent applicable, and all other documents (collectively, the
“Additional Documents”) that Agent may request in its Permitted Discretion, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, to create, perfect, and
continue to perfect the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter arising or
acquired, tangible or intangible), and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions
contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, each Obligor authorizes Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the
applicable Obligor’s name and authorizes Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any
appropriate filing office. In addition, on such periodic basis as Agent shall reasonably require
(in the event an Obligor acquires or develops a material patent or files a patent application
therefor, immediately upon such acquisition, development and filing), Obligors shall cause to be
prepared, executed, and delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents
to identify all material patents, patent applications, copyright registrations and registered
trademarks acquired or generated by any Obligor as being subject to the security interests created
thereunder; provided, however, that (i) no Obligor shall register with the U.S.
Copyright Office any unregistered copyrights (whether in existence on the Closing Date or
thereafter acquired, arising or developed) unless (a) the applicable Obligor provides Agent with
written notice of its intent to register such copyrights not less than 30 days prior to the date of
the proposed registration, and (b) prior to such registration, the applicable Obligor executes and
delivers to Agent a Copyright Security Agreement, supplemental schedules to an existing Copyright
Security Agreement or such other documentation as Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to
perfect and continue perfected Agent’s Liens on such copyrights following such registration and
(ii) no Obligor shall be obligated to register any copyright, patent or trademark in any
jurisdiction outside the United States.

4.5 Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and
appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s officers, employees, or agents designated by Agent) as such
Obligor’s true and lawful attorney, with power, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable
law, to (a) if such Obligor refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents
described in Section 4.4, sign the name of such Obligor on any of the documents described in
Section 4.4, (b) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sign such
Obligor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Obligor Collateral, drafts against
Account Debtors, or notices to Account Debtors, (c) send requests for verification of Obligors’
Accounts to the extent constituting Collateral, (d) endorse such Obligor’s name on any of its
payment items (including all of its Collections) that may come into the Lender Group’s possession,
(e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust
all claims under such Obligor’s policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions
with respect to such policies of insurance, and (f) at any time that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting Obligors’ Accounts to
the extent constituting Collateral, chattel paper, or General Intangibles directly with Account
Debtors, for amounts and upon terms that Agent determines to be reasonable, and Agent may cause to
be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Agent determines to be necessary. The
appointment of Agent as each Obligor’s attorney, and each and every one of its rights and powers,
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and
finally repaid and performed and the Lender Group’s obligations to extend credit hereunder are
terminated.

4.6 Right to Inspect. Agent and each Lender (through any of their respective
officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time hereafter upon reasonable
notice and at reasonable times to inspect the Books and make copies or abstracts thereof and to
check, test, and appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, in order to verify Obligors’ and
their Subsidiaries’ financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other
matter relating to, the Collateral.

4.7 Control Agreements. Borrowers agree that they will not transfer assets out of any
of their Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts; provided, however, that (i) any
Borrower may make any such transfer if immediately thereafter, the Obligors are in compliance with
Section 7.12, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result therefrom, Borrowers may use such assets (and the proceeds thereof) to the extent not
prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and, if the transfer is to another bank or
securities intermediary (unless otherwise permitted under Section 2.7 or 7.12), so long as the
applicable Borrower, Agent, and the substitute bank or securities intermediary have entered into a
Control Agreement. Borrowers agree that they will, subject to Sections 2.7, 4.2 and 4.5, and not
in limitation of Section 7.12, take any or all reasonable steps that Agent requests in order for
Agent to obtain control in accordance with Sections 8-106, 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the
Code with respect to any of its or their Securities Accounts, Deposit Accounts, electronic chattel
paper, Investment Property, and letter-of-credit rights. No Control Agreement in respect of any
Securities Accounts or other Investment Property shall be modified by Obligors without the prior
written consent of Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
subject to the provisions of any Control Agreement, Agent may notify any bank or securities
intermediary to liquidate the applicable Deposit Account or Securities Account or any related
Investment Property maintained or held thereby and remit the proceeds thereof to the Agent’s
Account for the applicable Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding anything in any Loan
Document to the contrary, Agent agrees that it shall not give any bank or securities intermediary
written notice instructing such bank or securities intermediary to cease honoring the applicable
Borrower’s instructions unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such repairs, replacement or
restoration being made in which case any remaining amounts shall be paid to Agent and applied as
set forth above.

which any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor is a party or by which any Obligor’s or any
Subsidiary of any Obligor’s properties and assets are bound, unless such payments are the subject
of a Permitted Protest or failure to make such payments would not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Change.

Obligor’s and each Subsidiary of any Obligor’s valid existence and good standing and any rights and
franchises material to their businesses, except to the extent (i) permitted under Section 7.3 or

to the Lender Group contained, at the time it was furnished, when taken together with all written
information, exhibits and reports so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted

refinancings, renewals, or extensions do not result in a shortening of the average weighted

hereby or thereby except (a) as a result of a disposition of the applicable Collateral in a
transaction permitted under the Loan Documents, (b) as a result of the Agent’s actions or failure
to act, including, without limitation, the failure to maintain possession of any stock
certificates, promissory notes or other documents delivered to it under the relevant Loan Document,
or (c) to the extent such failure shall be attributable to any action contemplated under Section
3.4 if the time period provided in such Section for such action shall not have expired; or

8.14 Except as expressly permitted under any Loan Document, any provision of any Loan Document
shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability
thereof shall be contested by any Obligor or any Subsidiary, or a proceeding shall be commenced by
any Obligor or any Subsidiary, or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any
Obligor or any Subsidiary, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any
Obligor or any Subsidiary shall deny that it has any liability or obligation purported to be
created under any Loan Document.

8.15 Any event that materially impairs the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement arising
from Administrative Borrower’s failure to disclose any and all material facts, documents or other
information requested pursuant to the Due Diligence Letter the consequence of which would result in
a Material Adverse Change.

9. THE LENDER GROUP’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an
Event of Default, the Required Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and
without demand except as set forth below), may authorize and instruct Agent to do any one or more
of the following on behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the instructions of the
Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized by
Obligors:

(a) Upon notice to Borrowers, declare all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations),
whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately
due and payable;

(b) Upon notice to Borrowers, cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit
of Obligors under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents (other than Bank Product
Agreements), or under any other agreement between Obligors and the Lender Group;

(c) Upon notice to Borrowers, terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents
(other than Bank Product Agreements) as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group,
but without affecting any of the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the
Obligations;

(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Obligors’ Account Debtors for amounts
and upon terms which Agent considers advisable, and in such cases, Agent will credit the Loan
Account with only the net amounts received by Agent in payment of such disputed Accounts after
deducting all Lender Group Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;

(e) Cause Obligors to hold all of their returned Inventory in trust for the Lender Group and
segregate all such Inventory from all other assets of Obligors or in Obligors’ possession;

(f) Without notice to or demand upon any Obligor, make such payments and do such acts as Agent
considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Each
Obligor agrees to assemble the Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the Collateral
available to Agent at a place that Agent may designate which is reasonably convenient to both
parties. Each Obligor authorizes Agent to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to
take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest,
or compromise any Lien that in Agent’s determination appears to conflict with the Agent’s Liens in
and to the Collateral and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith and to charge
Obligors’ Loan Account therefor. With respect to any of Obligors’ owned or leased premises, each
Obligor hereby grants Agent a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the
same, without charge, in order to exercise any of the Lender Group’s rights or remedies provided
herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;

(g) Without notice to any Obligor (such notice being expressly waived), and without
constituting an acceptance of any collateral in full or partial satisfaction of an obligation
(within the meaning of the Code), to the extent permitted by applicable law, set off and apply to
the Obligations of such Obligor any and all (i) balances and deposits of such Obligor held by the
Lender Group (including any amounts received in the Cash Management Accounts), or (ii) Indebtedness
at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of such Obligor held by the Lender Group;

(h) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and deposits of any Obligor held by the
Lender Group, and any amounts received in the Cash Management Accounts, to secure the full and
final repayment of all of the Obligations of such Obligor;

(i) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for
sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Obligor Collateral. Each Obligor hereby
grants to Agent a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without charge, such Obligor’s
labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising
matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Obligor Collateral, in
completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Obligor Collateral and such
Obligor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Lender Group’s
benefit;

(j) Sell the Obligor Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or
more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including
Obligors’ premises) as Agent determines in its Permitted Discretion is commercially reasonable. It
is not necessary that the Obligor Collateral be present at any such sale but Agent shall give
Administrative Borrower (for the benefit of the applicable Obligor) a notice in writing of the time
and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a
public sale is to be made of the Obligor Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or
other disposition is to be made; and

(i) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to
Administrative Borrower as provided in Section 12, at least 10 days before the
earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given
prior to the disposition of any portion of the Obligor Collateral that is perishable
or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market; and

(ii) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group may credit bid and purchase at any
public sale;

(k) Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any
portion of the Obligor Collateral or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing;
and

(l) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in
equity pursuant to any other Loan Documents; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default described in Section 8.4 or Section 8.5, in addition to the remedies set forth
above, without any notice to Obligors or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the
Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations)
then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all fees and all other
amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately
become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which
are expressly waived by Obligors.

9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender
Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed
an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing
waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

10. TAXES AND EXPENSES.

If any Obligor fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in
the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to
third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit,
all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole discretion and without
prior notice to any Obligor, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or
any part thereof (except to the extent the same is subject to a Permitted Protest expressly
permitted under this Agreement), (b) set up such reserves in Obligors’ Loan Account as Agent deems
necessary to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case
of the failure to comply with Section 6.7 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the
type described in Section 6.7 and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems
prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such
payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the
future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need
not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of
the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was
validly due and owing.

11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

11.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Each Obligor waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and
guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which any such Obligor may in any way be liable.

11.2 The Lender Group’s Liability for Obligor Collateral. Each Obligor hereby agrees
that: (a) so long as the Lender Group complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, Agent
shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Obligor
Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any
cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier,
warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, except, in each case, to the extent such
liability arises from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (b) except as
otherwise provided in clause (a), all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Obligor
Collateral shall be borne by Obligors.

11.3 Indemnification. Each Obligor shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the
Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified
Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims,
demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys
fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as
and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted
against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in the case of Agent only, in connection with
or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or
administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring
of Obligors’ and their Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) with
respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any
Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner
related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The
foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Obligors shall have no obligation to any Indemnified
Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. Neither Agent nor any Lender
shall have any liability to a Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses
suffered by such Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the
transactions or relationships contemplated by Guaranty Agreement to which such Guarantor is a
party, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined by
a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on such entity that the losses were the
result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. This provision
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any
Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified
Liability as to which Obligors were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such
payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by
Obligors with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH
INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY
OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

12. NOTICES.

financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail,

prepaid, return receipt requested), overnight courier, electronic mail (at such email addresses as

13. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN
ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW
PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), AND THE
OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUCH LAWS.

(b) THE PARTIES AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW ALL ACTIONS OR
PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE TRIED
AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, COUNTY OF
NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY
OBLIGOR COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION WHERE AGENT ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH OBLIGOR COLLATERAL OR OTHER
PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. OBLIGORS AND THE LENDER GROUP WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT
TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 13(b).

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OBLIGORS AND THE LENDER GROUP HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY
OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS,
TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. OBLIGORS AND THE
LENDER GROUP REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES
ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A
COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

14. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.

14.1 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”)
that are Eligible Transferees all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations, the Commitments
and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
in a minimum amount of $5,000,000; provided, however, that (i) Borrowers and Agent may continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an
Assignee until (A) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions,
addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative
Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (B) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered
to Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and (C) the assignor Lender or
Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $5,000,
and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assigning Lender shall
obtain the consent of the Administrative Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the payment of any fees
shall not be required and the Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if such assignment is in
connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any
substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning Lender.

(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor Lender (with a copy to
Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of
the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan
Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3 hereof) and be released from
any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto),
and such assignment shall effect a novation between Obligors and the Assignee; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations
that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under
Section 16 and Section 17.10 of this Agreement.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as
follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes
no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Obligors or the
performance or observance by Obligors of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of
this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to
make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such
Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (5)
such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee payment and the fully
executed Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but
only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment
of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such
Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, with the written consent of Agent, sell to one or more
commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of such Lender (a
“Participant”) participating interests in its Obligations, the Commitment, and the other
rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (provided that no written consent of Agent shall be required in connection
with any sale of any such participating interests by a Lender to an Eligible Transferee); provided,
however, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the
Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender
hereunder shall not, solely as a result of such participation, constitute a “Lender” hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance
of such obligations, (iii) Obligors, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or
grant any participating interest under which the Participant, solely in its capacity as a
Participant, has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or
waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final
maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce
the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the
extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations
hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the
amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, or (E) change the
amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums; and (v) all
amounts payable by Obligors hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or
shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, each Participant shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the
right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to
the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a
Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the
Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders,
Agent, Obligors, the Collections of Obligors or their Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in
respect of the Obligations. No Participant, solely as a Participant, shall have the right to
participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.10, disclose all documents and
information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Obligors and their Subsidiaries and
their respective businesses.

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a
security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this
Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal
Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR § 203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce
such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

14.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that, except in connection with a
transaction permitted under Section 7.3(a), Obligors may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be
absolutely void ab initio. Except as permitted by Section 15.1, no consent to assignment by the
Lenders shall release any Obligor from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 14.1
and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 14.1, no consent or approval by any Obligor
is required in connection with any such assignment.

15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

15.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Obligors
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required
Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and Administrative Borrower
(on behalf of all Obligors) and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such
waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders and
Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Obligors) and acknowledged by Agent, do any of the
following:

(a) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender,

(b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any
payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan
Document,

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit
hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

(d) change the percentage of the Commitments that is required to take any action hereunder,

(e) amend or modify this Section or any provision of the Agreement providing for consent or
other action by all Lenders,

(f) release Collateral other than as permitted by Section 4 or 16.12 or except as expressly
permitted in any Loan Document,

(g) change the definition of Required Lenders or Pro Rata Share,

(h) contractually subordinate any of the Agent’s Liens, except to a Permitted Lien,

(i) except as expressly permitted in any Loan Document, release any Obligor from any
obligation for the payment of money, or

(j) (i) change the definition of Maximum Revolver Amount or (ii) change Section 2.1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by Agent or Issuing Lender as applicable, affect the rights or duties of Agent (including
under Section 16) or Issuing Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent,
termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does
not affect the rights or obligations of Obligors, shall not require consent by or the agreement of
Obligors.

15.2 Replacement of Holdout Lender. If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or
Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a
Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then
Agent upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently
replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement
Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such
notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which
date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.

Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement
Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the
Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of
its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind
whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment
and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed
to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout
Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 14.1. Until such time as the
Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other
rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances and
to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of
the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit.

15.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise
any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or, any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or
any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any
Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated.
No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s
rights thereafter to require strict performance by Obligors of any provision of this Agreement.
Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.

16. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.

16.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and
appoints Wells Fargo as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan
Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are
expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express
conditions contained in this Section 16. The provisions of this Section 16 (other than the proviso
to Section 16.11(d)) are solely for the benefit of Agent, and the Lenders, and Obligors and their
Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained
herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against
Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience
only, that Wells Fargo is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual
duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall
have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any
discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is
entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents
that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise
the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with
its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the
Collateral, the Collections of Obligors and their Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or
file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements,
documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the
Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan
Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Obligors and their
Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash
management accounts as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents
for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Obligors and their
Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the
Lender Group with respect to Obligors, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Obligors
and their Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and
(g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the
performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

16.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as
long as such selection was made in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

16.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except as a result its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders
for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of any Obligor, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Obligor or any other party to any
Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or to inspect the Books or properties of Obligors or the books or records or properties of any of
Obligors’ Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

16.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper
Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Obligors
or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as
it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from
acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

16.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to
defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for
the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual
knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Administrative Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such
notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains
actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and
Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to
its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 16.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Section 9; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such
request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

16.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons
has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken,
including any review of the affairs of Obligors and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender.
Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Obligors and any other Person party to a Loan
Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby,
and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Obligors. Each
Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of Obligors and any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except
for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders
by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of Obligors and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may
come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

16.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group
Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and
fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including
court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors,
consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees
and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral,
whether or not Obligors are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to
the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient
amounts from the Collections of Obligors and their Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse
Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to
Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of
Obligors and their Subsidiaries received by Agent, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall
be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify
upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Obligors and
without limiting the obligation of Obligors to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting
solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for
the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit
hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys,
accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or
referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of
Obligors. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder
and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

16.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to,
issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and
generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business
with Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan
Documents as though Wells Fargo were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or
consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding Obligors or their Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents
that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Obligors or such other Person and that
prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in
such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which
waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any
obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Wells
Fargo in its individual capacity.

16.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the Lenders
and the Administrative Borrower. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders
shall, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders.
If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent
may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower, a successor Agent.
If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or
of applicable law, the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, may
agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any
such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, (i) such successor
Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent, (ii) the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and (iii) the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and
duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Section 16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is 45 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

16.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity
interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting
or other business with Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person (other
than the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender
hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members
of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective
Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors or their Affiliates and any other Person
party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Obligors or
such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the
Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such
confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to
obtain), such Lender not shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

16.11 Withholding Taxes.

(a) If any Lender is a “foreign person” within the meaning of the IRC such Lender agrees with
and in favor of Agent and Obligors, to deliver to Agent and Administrative Borrower one of the
following before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time
reasonably requested by Agent or Administrative Borrower:

(i) if such Lender is eligible (within such Lender’s reasonable judgment) to
claim an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest
exception, (A) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it
is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10%
shareholder of a Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC),
or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to a Borrower within the meaning
of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form
W-8BEN;

(ii) if such Lender is eligible (within such Lender’s reasonable judgment) to
claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States
tax treaty, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN;

(iii) if such Lender is eligible (within such Lender’s reasonable judgment) to
claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States
withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or
business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form
W-8ECI;

(iv) such other form or forms as may be required under the IRC or other laws of
the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States
withholding tax.

Each Lender (or assignee of such Lender) that is a “foreign person” within
the meaning of the IRC confirms that, as of the date of this Agreement (or
the date of such assignment), it is entitled to a complete exemption from
U.S. withholding tax on interest or fees received by it from sources in the
United States.

Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Administrative Borrower of
any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed
exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United
States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a
participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Obligors to such Lender,
such Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial
owner of Obligations of Obligors to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent
will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid. In addition, in the case of
participations, such Lender agrees to deliver to Agent an IRS Form W8-IMY of the Lender and an IRS
Form W9 or W8-BEN of each participant entitling Borrowers to make payments in the same (or lesser)
amounts as if such participation has not been granted.

(c) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation
required by Section 16.11(a) are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest
payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax.

(d) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of
any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because
such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from,
or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify
and hold Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise,
including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the
amounts payable to Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including
attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive
the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(e) All payments made by Obligors under this Loan Agreement and under any of the other Loan
Documents will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. Except as otherwise
required by law, all payments made by Obligors under this Loan Agreement and under any of the other
Loan Documents will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any
present or future Taxes. Taxes shall mean, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments
or other charges of a similar nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but
excluding any tax, levy, impost, duty, fee, assessment or other charge of similar nature now or
hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein measured by or based on the net income or net profits of any Lender, or as a result of a
Lender having its residence, place of organization, principal place of business, or branch or
lending office participating in the transactions set forth herein in such jurisdiction or political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar
liabilities with respect thereto. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Obligor, as
applicable, agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be
necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any of the other
Loan Documents, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.11(e) after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein;
provided, however, that no Obligor shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to Agent
or any Lender (i) if such Person fails to comply with the other requirements of this Section 16.11,
(ii) if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own bad faith,
willful misconduct, or gross negligence, or (iii) on account of any Taxes that would not have been
imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Lender or Agent and
the jurisdiction imposing the Taxes (other than any such connection arising solely from such
Lender’s or Agent’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment
under, or enforced this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and provided further that (a) UK
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amount payable to Agent or any Lender that is
not on the date payment is due a UK Qualifying Lender in excess of the amount that UK Borrower
would have had to pay had the relevant Lender been on the date payment is due a UK Qualifying
Lender, and (b) US Borrower shall not be required to pay any US withholding tax that is imposed on
amounts payable to a Lender that is a “foreign person” within the meaning of the IRC at the time
such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or is attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply
with Section 16.11(a). Obligors will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the
payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing
such payment by Obligors.

(f) Each Lender shall, at the request of Agent or Administrative Borrower, use its best
efforts to comply timely with any certification, identification information, documentation or other
reporting requirements if such compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice
or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction
or withholding of any Taxes for which any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to or for
the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 16.11; provided that complying with such
requirements would not be materially more onerous (in form, in procedure or in substance of
information disclosed) to such Lender than complying with the comparable information or other
reporting requirements imposed under U.S. tax law, regulations and administrative practice.

(g) If any Obligor is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender
pursuant to this Section 16.11 as a result of a change of law occurring after the date hereof, then
such Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will eliminate or
reduce such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the good faith
judgment of the Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) If any increased payment by any Obligor is made to or for the account of any Lender
pursuant to this Section 16.11 on account of Taxes then, if any Lender reasonably determines that
it has received or been granted a refund of, credit against or remission of such Taxes, such Lender
shall reimburse to such Obligor such amounts as such Lender shall determine to be attributable to
the relevant Taxes; provided, that (i) such Lender shall not be obligated to disclose to any
Obligor any information regarding its tax affairs and computations, and (ii) nothing herein shall
be construed so as to interfere with the right of such Lender to arrange its tax affairs as it
deems appropriate.

(i) If any Lender is assigned an interest hereunder by another Person or designates a new
lending office, notwithstanding anything in this Section 16.11, no Obligor will be required to make
payments under this Section 16.11 with respect to taxes that are imposed on amounts payable to the
Lender at the time the Lender becomes party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office)
except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of
designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from such
Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 16.11.

(j) Each Lender which has made (or is an Assignee of a Lender which made) a UK Borrower
Advance confirms to UK Borrower in respect of such UK Borrower Advance that it is a UK Qualifying
Lender. This confirmation is given as at the date of this Agreement, in the case of a Lender which
is a Lender at the date of this Agreement, and, in the case of an Assignee, is deemed to be given
on the date on which the Assignee becomes a party to this Agreement.

(k) As used in this Section 16.11, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

“Treaty Lender” means a Lender which:

(i) is resident (as defined in the appropriate United Kingdom tax treaty) in a country with
which the United Kingdom has a double taxation agreement giving residents of that country full
exemption from taxation on interest by the United Kingdom;

(ii) does not carry on business in the United Kingdom through a permanent establishment with
which the payment is effectively connected;

(iii) on the date the payment falls due, is (subject only to the completion of any necessary
procedural formalities) entitled to the payment without any deduction for or on account of taxation
on interest by the United Kingdom; and

(iv) has complied in full with its obligations under Section 16.11(f).

“UK Qualifying Lender” means a Lender which is beneficially entitled to interest
payable to that Lender in respect of a UK Borrower Advance and which is:

(i) a Lender within the charge to corporation tax by the United Kingdom in respect of a
payment of interest on a UK Borrower Advance made by a person that was a bank for the purposes of
section 349 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (as defined as of the date hereof in
section 840A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988) at the time the UK Borrower Advance was
made;

(ii) a Person satisfying one of the conditions of section 349B of the Income and Corporation
Taxes Act 1988 at the time the payment is made; or

(iii) a Treaty Lender.

16.12 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Loan Document, the Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any
Collateral or the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder or under its Guaranty or the other Loan
Documents (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all
Obligations (other than unmatured contingent obligations and Bank Product Obligations), (ii) if
such Collateral constitutes property that, or such Guarantor that is being (or has been) sold or
disposed of (A) if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and (B) if
Administrative Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section
7.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such
certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) if such Collateral constitutes property in which no
Obligor or its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any
time thereafter, or (iv) if such Collateral constitutes property leased to an Obligor or its
Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this
Agreement. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on
any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or
substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders.
Upon request by Agent or Administrative Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing
Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral or any such
Guarantor pursuant to this Section 16.12; provided, however, that (1) Agent shall
not be required to execute any document the terms of which, in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, would
expose Agent to liability or create any obligation of Agent or entail any consequence to Agent
other than the release of such Lien or Guarantor without recourse, representation, or warranty, and
(2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens
(other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Obligors in respect of) all
interests retained by Obligors, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to
constitute part of the Collateral.

(b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by Obligors or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been
encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all
or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue
exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any
of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any
act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein,
Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own
interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other
duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided
herein.

16.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of
Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request
of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Obligors or any
deposit accounts of Obligors now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders
further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take
or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings,
to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or
otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for
any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such
distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and
with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately
available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to
the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the
Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such
excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of
participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of
the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest
except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the
recovery of the excess payment.

16.14 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent
(and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens
in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code can be perfected only by possession or
control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall
notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or
control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

16.15 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the
Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire
transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent.
Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion
thereof) represents principal, premium, or interest of the Obligations.

16.16 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender
Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each
member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of
its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

16.17 Field Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other
Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes
available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and
collectively, “Reports”) prepared by Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with
such Reports,

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information
contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only
specific information regarding Obligors and will rely significantly upon the Books, as well as on
representations of Obligors’ personnel,

(d) agrees to keep in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 17.10, (i) all Reports
and other material, non-public information, regarding Obligors and their Subsidiaries and their
operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans or (ii) any information relating
to any agreement to which an Obligor is a party the terms of which are subject to a confidentiality
provision, and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from
any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying
Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit
accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Obligors, or the indemnifying
Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Obligors;
and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender
preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs,
expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such
other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might
obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing
that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Obligors to Agent
that has not been contemporaneously provided by Obligors to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such
request, Agent shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is
entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information
from Obligors, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right
as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of
Administrative Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender,
and, upon receipt thereof from Administrative Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same
to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a statement
regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

16.18 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan
Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its
capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of
Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint)
obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective
Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time
outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer
upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the
business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the
extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability
to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the
Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts or any other member of the Lender Group. No
Lender shall be responsible to any Obligor or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender
to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its
behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or
in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

16.19 Legal Representation of Agent. In connection with the negotiation, drafting,
and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with future legal
representation relating to loan administration, amendments, modifications, waivers, or enforcement
of remedies, Chapman and Cutler LLP only has represented and only shall represent Wells Fargo in
its capacity as Agent and as a Lender. Each other Lender hereby acknowledges that Chapman and
Cutler LLP does not represent it in connection with any such matters.

17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

17.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when
executed by Obligors, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages
hereof.

17.2 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for
convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each
Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein
shall be construed or resolved against the Lender Group or Obligors, whether under any rule of
construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and
shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to
accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. In the event two or more
agreements made in favor of any member of the Lender Group in connection with this Agreement grant
a Lien in the same Collateral, the fact that any one such agreement may describe such Collateral in
specific terms shall not be construed to limit any Lien granted in the same Collateral which is
described in general terms in another such agreement.

17.4 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable
from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision.

17.5 Amendments in Writing. This Agreement only can be amended by a writing in
accordance with Section 15.1.

17.6 Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when
executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together,
shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure
to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and
binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis
mutandis.

17.7 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the
Obligations by any Obligor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property should for any
reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to
creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances,
preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property
(collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender Group is required to repay or
restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable
advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the
Lender Group is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses,
and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of Obligors automatically
shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had
never been made.

17.8 Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue.

(a) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, to any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof to the jurisdiction of (i) the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, County of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and (ii) to the
courts of its own corporate domicile, at the election of the plaintiff, in respect of actions
brought against it as a defendant, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment.

(b) Each Foreign Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints C T Corporation System, in New York, New
York (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue,
13th Floor, New York, NY 10011, as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its
name, place and stead to accept on behalf of such Obligor and its Collateral service of copies of
the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in the State of New York, and each Obligor agrees that the failure of the
Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to such Obligor shall not, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, impair or affect the validity of such service or, the
enforcement of any judgment based thereon. Such appointment shall be irrevocable as long as the
Obligations are outstanding, except that if for any reason the Process Agent appointed hereby
ceases to act as such, each Foreign Obligor will, by a writing reasonably satisfactory to Agent,
appoint another Person in the Borough of Manhattan, New York as such Process Agent subject to the
approval of the Agent. Each Foreign Obligor hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of
process in any suit, action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York or the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York by the
mailing thereof by Agent or any Lender by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such
Obligor at its address set forth beneath its signature hereto. Each Foreign Obligor covenants and
agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any
and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the designation of a Process Agent pursuant to
this Section in full force and effect and to cause the Process Agent to act as such.

(c) Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of Agent or any Lender to
serve any such process or summons in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(d) Each Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or in any New
York State Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, or in any appellate court from any
thereof, and hereby further irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any
claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum and any right to which it may be entitled on account of place of residence or
domicile. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such
suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction
of which any Obligor is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment or in any other manner permitted
by applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that Agent or any Lender may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Obligor or
its Collateral in the courts of any jurisdiction.

17.9 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum
due under the Loan Documents in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the
fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at
which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase Dollars with such
other currency at New York City on the Business Day preceding that on which final, nonappealable
judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Obligor in respect of any sum due to the Agent and the Lenders
under the Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent of any sum
adjudged to be so due in such other currency, Agent may, in accordance with normal, reasonable
banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent and the Lenders in Dollars, each Obligor
agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent and the Lenders against such loss.

17.10 Confidentiality. The Agent and the Lenders each individually (and not jointly
or jointly and severally) agree that (i) material non-public information regarding Obligors and
their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans, and
(ii) any information relating to any agreement to which an Obligor is a party the terms of which
are subject to a confidentiality provision shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a
confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not
parties to this Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors,
and consultants to any member of the Lender Group, provided that any such Person shall have
agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.10 or a
similar confidentiality agreement, (b) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender
Group (including the Bank Product Providers), provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall
have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.10, (c)
upon notice to the Administrative Borrower, as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or
administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) upon notice to the Administrative Borrower, as may
be agreed to in advance by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or as required by any
Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such
information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of
prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective
assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participations, or pledge or
prospective pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that any such assignee,
prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant, prospective participant,
pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder
subject to the terms of this Section 17.10, and (g) in connection with any litigation or other
adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding
involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 17.10 shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations.

17.11 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and
shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date
hereof.

17.12 US Borrower as Agent for Borrowers. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints US Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact
for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full
force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each
Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed
Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Borrower (i) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters
of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under
this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its
behalf to obtain Advances and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

17.13 Reaffirmation. In connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each Guarantor hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations,
contingent or otherwise, under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and hereby undertakes to
pay and perform the same, as such obligations may have been increased, extended or otherwise
modified as a result of this Agreement and any other document executed by any Person in connection
therewith and, to the extent such Guarantor granted Liens on or security interests in any of the
Collateral pursuant to any such Loan Document, hereby ratifies and reaffirms such grant of security
and confirms and agrees that such Liens and security interests hereafter continue to secure all of
the Obligations and all other obligations of the Obligors pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents and shall extend to secure the Obligations and all other obligations of the Obligors
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents to the extent the same are varied, increased, extended
or otherwise modified by this Agreement and any other documents executed by any Person in
connection therewith.

17.14 No Novation. The appearing parties herein declare that all the terms and
conditions of the Original Loan Agreement continue to remain, as herein amended, in full force and
effect and by these presents the appearing parties hereby ratify, reaffirm and confirm all the
terms and conditions of the Original Loan Agreement and further declare that it is their express
intention that the transactions set forth in this Agreement shall in no way, manner of form be
construed or be interpreted as an extinctive novation of any of the obligations and agreements set
forth in the Original Loan Agreement.

transaction permitted under Section 7.3(i) of the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, no Obligor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent:

(a) accelerate, make demand, or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original due date
thereof any Subordinated Debt or bring suit or institute any other actions or proceedings to

(c) exercise any rights to set-offs and counterclaims in respect of any indebtedness,

(d) commence, or cause to be commenced, or join with any creditor other than Agent or the
Lenders in commencing, any bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership proceeding against any other

the provisions of Section 3, Section 4, and Section 5, any Subordinated Debt Payment shall be
received in contravention of Section 3, Section 4, or Section 5 by any Obligor before all Senior
Debt is paid, in full, in cash or cash equivalents, such Subordinated Debt Payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and any Bank Product Provider and shall be paid over or
delivered to Agent for application to the payment, in full, in cash or cash equivalents of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to Section 3, Section 4, and
Section 5, after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Agent or any Lender
or Bank Product Provider in respect of the Senior Debt.

Section 7. Authorization to Agent. If, while any Subordinated Debt is
outstanding, any Insolvency Event shall occur and be continuing with respect to any other Obligor
or its property: (i) Agent hereby is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of each
Obligor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect, and receive every
payment or distribution in respect of Subordinated Debt and give acquittance therefor and to file
claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting any Subordinated Debt) as
it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or
interests of Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider; and (ii) each Obligor shall promptly
take such action as Agent reasonably may request, to the extent permitted under applicable law,
(A) to collect the Subordinated Debt for the account of Agent, the Lenders and the Bank Product
Providers and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt,
(B) to execute and deliver to Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, and other instruments as
it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subordinated Debt,
and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subordinated Debt Payments.

Section 8. Certain Agreements of Each Obligor.

(a) No Benefits. Each Obligor understands that there may be various agreements between or
among Agent, the Lenders and/or the Bank Product Providers, on the one hand, and the other
Obligors, on the other hand, evidencing and governing the Senior Debt, and each Obligor
acknowledges and agrees that such agreements are not intended to confer any benefits on such
Obligor and that neither Agent nor any Lender or Bank Product Provider shall have any obligation to
such Obligor or any other Person to exercise any rights, enforce any remedies, or take any actions
which may be available to them under such agreements.

(b) No Interference. Each Obligor acknowledges that each other Obligor has granted to Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders and Bank Product Providers Liens on all of such other Obligor’s
assets (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Loan Documents), and agrees not to interfere
with or in any manner oppose a disposition of any Collateral by Agent in accordance with applicable
law and the Loan Documents.

(c) Reliance by Agent and the Lenders. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that Agent and
the Lenders will have relied upon and will continue to rely upon the subordination provisions
provided for herein and the other provisions hereof in entering into the Loan Documents and making
or issuing the Advances, the Letters of Credit, or other financial accommodations thereunder.

(d) Waivers. Except as provided under the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor hereby waives any and all notice
of the incurrence of the Senior Debt or any part thereof and any right to require marshaling of
assets.

(e) Obligations of Each Obligor Not Affected. Each Obligor hereby agrees, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, that at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the
consent of such Obligor, without incurring responsibility to such Obligor, and without impairing or
releasing the subordination provided for herein or otherwise impairing the rights of Agent or any
Lender hereunder, (i) the time for any other Obligor’s performance of or compliance with any of its
agreements contained in the Loan Documents may be extended or such performance or compliance may be
waived by Agent, Lenders or Bank Product Providers (in accordance with the Loan Documents or the
Bank Product Agreements); (ii) the agreements of any other Obligor with respect to the Loan
Documents or Bank Product Agreements may from time to time be modified by such other Obligor,
Agent, Lenders or Bank Product Providers (in accordance with the Loan Documents or the Bank Product
Agreements) for the purpose of adding any requirements thereto or changing in any manner the rights
and obligations of such other Obligor, Agent, Lenders or Bank Product Providers thereunder;
(iii) the manner, place, or terms for payment of Senior Debt or any portion thereof may be altered
or the terms for payment extended, or the Senior Debt may be renewed in whole or in part; (iv) the
maturity of the Senior Debt may be accelerated in accordance with the terms of any present or
future agreement by any other Obligor, Agent, Lenders or Bank Product Providers (in accordance with
the Loan Documents or Bank Product Agreements); (v) any Collateral may be sold, exchanged,
released, or substituted and any Lien in favor of Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider may
be terminated, subordinated, or fail to be perfected or become unperfected; (vi) any Person liable
in any manner for Senior Debt may be discharged, released, or substituted; and (vii) all other
rights against the other Obligors, any other Person, or with respect to any Collateral may be
exercised (or Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider may waive or refrain from exercising
such rights in accordance with the Loan Documents or the Bank Product Agreements).

(f) Rights of Agent and the Lenders Not to Be Impaired. No right of Agent or any Lender or
Bank Product Provider to enforce the subordination provided for herein or to exercise its other
rights hereunder shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act by any other Obligor, Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider hereunder or under or in
connection with the other Loan Documents or by any noncompliance by the other Obligors with the
terms and provisions and covenants herein or in any other Loan Document, regardless of any
knowledge thereof Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider may have or otherwise be charged
with.

(g) Financial Condition of the Obligors. Except as provided under the Second Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement, no Obligor shall have any right to require Agent or any
Lender or Bank Product Provider to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: (i) the
financial condition or character of any other Obligor or the ability of any other Obligor to pay
and perform the Senior Debt; (ii) the existence or nonexistence of any guarantees of, or any other
subordination agreements with respect to, all or any part of the Senior Debt; (iii) any action or
inaction on the part of Agent, any Lender or any other Person; or (iv) any other matter, fact, or
occurrence whatsoever. The Obligors that are not party to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement shall not have any right to require Agent or any Lender, or any Bank Product
Provider to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: (i) the financial condition or
character of any other Obligor or the ability of the other Obligors to pay and perform Senior Debt;
(ii) the Senior Debt; (iii) the Collateral or other security for any or all of the Senior Debt;
(iv) the existence or nonexistence of any guarantees of, or any other subordination agreements with
respect to, all or any part of the Senior Debt; (v) any action or inaction on the part of Agent,
any Lender, any Bank Product Provider or any other Person; or (vi) any other matter, fact or
occurrence whatsoever.

(h) Acquisition of Liens or Guaranties. Except as permitted under the Second Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement, no Obligor shall, without the prior consent of Agent, acquire
any right or interest in or to any Collateral not owned by such Obligor or accept any guaranties
for the Subordinated Debt.

Section 9. Subrogation.

(a) Subrogation. Until the payment and performance in full in cash of all Senior Debt, no
Obligor shall have, or directly or indirectly exercise, any rights that it may acquire by way of
subrogation under this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, by any payment or
distribution to Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider hereunder or otherwise. Upon the
payment and performance in full in cash of all Senior Debt, each Obligor shall be subrogated to the
rights of Agent, Lenders and the Bank Product Providers to receive payments or distributions
applicable to the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt shall be paid in full. For the purposes
of the foregoing subrogation, no payments or distributions to Agent or any Lender or Bank Product
Provider of any cash, property, or securities to which any Obligor would be entitled except for the
provisions of Section 3, Section 4, or Section 5 shall, as among such
Obligor, its creditors (other than Agent, Lenders and the Bank Product Providers), and the other
Obligors, be deemed to be a payment by the other Obligors to or on account of the Senior Debt.

(b) Payments Over to the Obligors. If any payment or distribution to which any Obligor would
otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of Section 3, Section 4, or Section 5
shall have been applied pursuant to the provisions of Section 3, Section 4, or
Section 5 to the payment of all amounts payable under the Senior Debt, such Obligor shall
be entitled to receive from Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider, as the case may be, any
payments or distributions received by such Person in excess of the amount sufficient to pay in full
in cash all amounts payable under or in respect of the Senior Debt. If any such excess payment is
made to Agent or any Lender or Bank Product Provider, such Person shall promptly remit such excess
to such Obligor and until so remitted shall hold such excess payment for the benefit of such
Obligor.

Section 10. Continuing Agreement; Reinstatement.

(a) Continuing Agreement. This Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement is a
continuing agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each
Obligor until payment and performance in full in cash of the Senior Debt. The subordinations,
agreements, and priorities set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
whether any party hereto in the future seeks to rescind, amend, terminate, or reform, by litigation
or otherwise, its respective agreements with the other Obligors.

(b) Reinstatement. This Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall continue to
be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the
Senior Debt by or on behalf of any other Obligor shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored
by Agent or any Lender, whether as a result of an Insolvency Event or otherwise.

Section 11. Transfer of Subordinated Debt. Except as permitted under the Second Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement, no Obligor may assign or transfer its rights and obligations
in respect of the Subordinated Debt without the prior written consent of Agent, and any such
transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the Subordinated Debt shall
agree to be bound hereby, in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

Section 12. Obligations of the Obligors Not Affected. The provisions of this
Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement are intended solely for the purpose of defining
the relative rights of each Obligor against the other Obligors, on the one hand, and of Agent and
the Lenders and Bank Product Providers against the Obligors, on the other hand. Nothing contained
in this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall (i) impair, as between each
Obligor and the other Obligors, the obligation of the other Obligors to pay their respective
obligations with respect to the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and
payable, or (ii) otherwise affect the relative rights of each Obligor against the other
Obligors, on the one hand, and of the creditors (other than Agent and the Lenders and the Bank
Product Providers) of the other Obligors against the other Obligors, on the other hand.

Section 13. Endorsement of Obligor Documents; Further Assurances and Additional
Acts.

(a) Endorsement of Obligor Documents. At the request of Agent, all documents and instruments
evidencing any of the Subordinated Debt, if any, shall be endorsed with a legend noting that such
documents and instruments are subject to this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement,
and each Obligor shall promptly deliver to Agent evidence of the same.

(b) Further Assurances and Additional Acts. Each Obligor shall execute, acknowledge, deliver,
file, notarize, and register at its own expense all such further agreements, instruments,
certificates, financing statements, documents, and assurances, and perform such acts as Agent
reasonably shall deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Second Amended
and Restated Subordination Agreement, and promptly provide Agent with evidence of the foregoing
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Agent.

Section 14. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall,
unless otherwise stated herein, be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions contained in
the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.

Section 15. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of
Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Second Amended
and Restated Subordination Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies,
powers, and privileges that may otherwise be available to Agent or any Lender.

Section 16. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 17. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this
Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall, except to the extent otherwise provided
herein, survive the execution and delivery of this Second Amended and Restated Subordination
Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Senior Debt remains unpaid.

Section 18. Benefits of Agreement. This Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement
is entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and
assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct
or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Second Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement.

Section 19. Binding Effect. This Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall
be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Obligor, Agent, each Lender and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 20. governing law. This Second Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than
section 5-1401 of the New York Law General Obligations Law), and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Section 21. Submission to Jurisdiction. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, County of New York, State of
New York, for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of
any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts, or in any other court of
its own corporate domicile, at the election of the plaintiff, in respect of actions brought against
it as a defendant (iii) irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any
objection which it now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such action
or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, and any objection on the ground that any such
action or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iv) agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by
law.

Section 22. Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement of each of the Obligors, Agent and each of the Lenders with respect to the
matters set forth herein and supersedes any prior agreements, commitments, draft, communications,
discussions and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Second Amended
and Restated Subordination Agreement, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Obligor
therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and
Obligors and made in compliance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. No failure by Agent or any other Lender to exercise any
right, remedy, or option under this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, or delay
by Agent or any other Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver
by Agent on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s or each other Lender’s rights thereafter
to require strict performance by each Obligor of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement. Agent’s and each other Lender’s rights under this Second Amended and
Restated Subordination Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy
that Agent or any other Lender may have.

Section 23. Conflicts. In case of any conflict or inconsistency between any
terms of this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement, on the one hand, and any
documents or instruments in respect of the Subordinated Debt, on the other hand, then the terms of
this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall control.

Section 24. Severability. Each provision of this Second Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Second Amended and
Restated Subordination Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any
specific provision.

Section 25. Interpretation. This Second Amended and Restated Subordination
Agreement is the result of negotiations between, and have been reviewed by the respective counsel
to, the Obligors, Agent and each Lender and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly,
this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall not be construed against Agent or
any Lender merely because of their involvement in the preparation hereof.

Section 26. Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Second Amended and
Restated Subordination Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement by
telefacsimile shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement. Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement by telefacsimile
also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Second Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not
affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Second Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement.

Section 27. Termination of Agreement. Upon payment and performance in full in
cash of the Senior Debt (other than unmatured contingent obligations) and the termination of the
Commitments, this Second Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement shall terminate and Agent
shall promptly execute and deliver to each Obligor such documents and instruments as shall be
reasonably necessary to evidence such termination. Upon the consummation of any
Permitted Disposition of any party hereto, such party shall be automatically released from its
obligations hereunder, and the Pledgee shall, at the expense of the Pledgor, execute and deliver
such documents, and take such other action, as may be requested from time to time by such party to
evidence such release.
