the most recent transaction in a series of transactions) at least a majority (in number of
votes) of the Equity Interests of a Person which has ordinary voting power for the election of
directors or other similar management personnel of a Person (other than Equity Interests
having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) or a majority of the
outstanding Equity Interests of a Person.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any

expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon such Lender’s share of the
aggregate Revolving Exposures at that time), and (b) with respect to Protective Advances or
with respect to the Aggregate Credit Exposure, a percentage based upon its share of the
Aggregate Credit Exposure and the unused Commitments.

“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any Eurodollar Revolving
Loan or CDOR Revolving Loan, or with respect to the unused commitment fees payable under

For purposes of the foregoing, (a) the initial Applicable Rate shall be the applicable rate per
annum set forth above in Category 3, (b) thereafter, the Applicable Rate shall be determined as of
the end of each fiscal quarter of Holdings based upon Holdings’ annual or quarterly consolidated
financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01, commencing with the later of (i) delivery
of the quarterly consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30,
2005, or (ii) 90 days after the Effective Date, and (c) each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in EBITDA shall be

Borrowers fail to deliver the annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements required to be
delivered by them pursuant to Section 5.01 (and if no waiver or consent with respect thereto has
been
delivered) EBITDA shall be deemed to be in the Category that is one Category higher than the

outstanding that will not result in (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline
Loans exceeding $20,000,000 or (B) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of
the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base; provided that the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within
the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may
borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Administrative
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each
such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business
Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the
Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Administrative Borrower. The Swingline Lender
shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to the Funding
Account (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank, and in the case of
repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the
Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by 3:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the requested
date of such Swingline Loan.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Swingline
Lender agrees to make Canadian Swingline Loans to the Canadian Borrower from time to time
during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (A) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Canadian
Swingline Loans (other than Single-Day Canadian Swingline Loans) exceeding $5,000,000 or
(B) the sum of the total Canadian Credit Exposure exceeding the lesser of the total
Canadian Credit Commitments and the Borrowing Base; provided that the Canadian
Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Canadian Swingline Loan to refinance an
outstanding
Canadian Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
Canadian Swingline Loans. To request a Canadian Swingline Loan, the Administrative
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Funding Bank of such
request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on
the day of a proposed Canadian Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the
requested Canadian Swingline Loan. The Canadian Funding Bank will

 

34

 

promptly advise the
Canadian Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Administrative Borrower. The Canadian Swingline Lender shall make each Canadian
Swingline Loan available to the Canadian Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding
Account (or, in the case of a repayment of another Canadian Loan or fees or expenses as
provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Canadian Funding Bank to be distributed
to the Canadian Lenders) by 3:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the requested date of such
Canadian Swingline Loan. For purposes of this Section 2.05(a)(ii), “Single-Day Canadian
Swingline Loans” shall mean Canadian Swingline Loans that are made by the Canadian
Swingline Lender as an accommodation to Canadian Lenders that are unable to fund on the
same day as a requested Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, which Single-Day Canadian
Swingline Loans shall be funded by the applicable Canadian Lenders on the first Business
Day following the date of such Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing. The Canadian Swingline
Lender is not required to make any Single-Day Canadian Swingline Loan hereunder and will
not make any Single-Day Swingline Loan that would cause its outstanding Canadian
Revolving Loans to exceed its Canadian Revolving Commitment.

(b) (i) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not
later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders (who are
not Canadian Lenders) to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of
the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline
Loans in which such Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice,
the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Revolving Lender, specifying in
such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each such
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as
provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender,
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each such Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline
Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts
so received by it from such Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrowers of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative
Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from any
Borrower (or other party on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after
receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be
promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to such Revolving Lenders that
shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as
their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid
to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent
such payment is required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers
of any default in the payment thereof.

 

35

 

(ii) The Canadian Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent and Canadian Funding Bank not later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on any Business
Day require the Canadian Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or
a portion of the Canadian Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the
aggregate amount of Canadian Swingline Loans in which
Canadian Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Canadian
Funding Bank will give notice thereof to each Canadian Lender, specifying in such notice
such Lender’s Canadian Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Swingline Loan or Loans.
Each Canadian Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice
as provided above, to pay to the Canadian Funding Bank, for the account of the Canadian
Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Canadian Applicable Percentage of such Canadian Swingline
Loan or Loans. Each Canadian Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to
acquire participations in Canadian Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments,
and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. Each Canadian Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided
in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the
Canadian Funding Bank shall promptly pay to the Canadian Swingline Lender the amounts so
received by it from the Canadian Lenders. The Canadian Funding Bank shall notify the
Canadian Borrower of any participations in any Canadian Swingline Loan acquired pursuant
to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Canadian Swingline Loan
shall be made to the Canadian Funding Bank and not to the Canadian Swingline Lender. Any
amounts received by the Canadian Swingline Lender from the Canadian Borrower (or other
party on behalf of the Canadian Borrower) in respect of a Canadian Swingline Loan after
receipt by the Canadian Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations
therein shall be promptly remitted to the Canadian Funding Bank; any such amounts
received by the Canadian Funding Bank shall be promptly remitted by the Canadian Funding
Bank to the Canadian Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this
paragraph and to the Canadian Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided
that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Canadian Swingline Lender or to
the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required
to be refunded to the Canadian Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in
a Canadian Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Canadian
Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(c) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of
the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable discretion (but
with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the
Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are
herein referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that, no
Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01
for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this
paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. In addition,
Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not
been satisfied. All Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings or Canadian Prime Rate
Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an
aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time, no Overadvance may remain outstanding
for more than thirty days, all Overadvances shall be payable within one (1) Business Day after
demand by the Administrative Agent and no Overadvance shall cause any Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment; provided that, the
Supermajority Revolving Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s
authorization to make Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become
effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

 

36

 

(d) Upon the making of an Overadvance by the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation in such Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage or
Canadian Applicable Percentage, as applicable, of the Revolving Commitment. The Administrative
Agent may, at any time, require the Revolving Lenders to fund their participations. From and
after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in
any Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to
such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and
all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of
Credit for the account of any Borrower, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the
Administrative Borrower to, or entered into by the Administrative Borrower with, the Issuing Bank
relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Except
as set forth in Section 2.06(k), all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued
pursuant hereto, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the
terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an
outstanding Letter of Credit), the Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or
transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago
time, at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the
Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter
of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of
such Letter of Credit, the name of the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit is to
be issued, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall
be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the
Issuing Bank, the Administrative Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on
the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A
Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $160,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving
Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing
Base.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close
of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such
Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such
renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. 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 Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving
Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the
Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any
Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of
the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

37

 

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago
time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers shall have received
notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrowers prior to such time on such date, then not later
than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrowers receive such notice,
if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt, or (ii)
the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers receive such notice, if such
notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the
Borrowers hereby request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05, unless the Administrative
Borrower specifically gives notice to the Administrative Agent to the contrary, that such
payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount
and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the
Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in
respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of
such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in
Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply,
mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it
from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any
payment from any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made
payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and
the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than
the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC
Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements
as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable,
and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and
all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of
any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii)
payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other
document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event
or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing,
that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related
Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence),
or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft,
notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any
document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not
be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any
direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby
waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower
that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts
and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or by its
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

38

 

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and
whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided
that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of
their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any
such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that any Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;
provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due
pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued
pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of
this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment by such Revolving Lender.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective
date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be
issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to
refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous
Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank
hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have
all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters
of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit.

 

39

 

(j) Cash Collateralization and Backstop Letter of Credit. If any Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrowers receive notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral or the
delivery of
a Backstop Letter of Credit pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall either (a) deposit
in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for
the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash
equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if
any); provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become
effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without
demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect
to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII, or (b) provide to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a letter of
credit in form and substance, on terms and from a lending institution reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, which letter of credit shall be in a face amount
equal to 103% of the L/C Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if
any) (the “Backstop Letter of Credit”). With respect to any LC Collateral Account: (i)
such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations; (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and each
of the Borrowers hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC
Collateral Account; (iii) other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits,
which investments shall be made at the option and reasonable discretion of the Administrative
Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest; (iv)
interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account; (v) moneys
in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for
LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall
be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC
Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to
the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total
LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations in accordance with Section
2.18(b); and (vi) any remaining amount shall be promptly returned to the Borrowers. If the
Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall
be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have
been cured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent or waived in writing. With respect
to any Backstop Letter of Credit: (A) the Administrative Agent shall be the named beneficiary
of such letter of credit; (B) drawings upon such letter of credit shall be made in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be
held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC
Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to
the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total
LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations in accordance with Section
2.18(b); and (C) if the Borrowers are required to provide a letter of credit hereunder as a
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such letter of credit (to the extent not
drawn as aforesaid) shall be cancelled and returned to the issuing bank within five Business
Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the terms of payment of the Existing Letters of Credit (and any issuance fees paid
in connection therewith) shall be governed by the terms relating thereto set forth in the loan
documents under which such Existing Letters of Credit were issued.

Any reference to (i) Borrowers in this Section 2.06 shall not include the Canadian Borrower (in its
capacity as Canadian Borrower), and (ii) any reference to Revolving Lenders in this Section 2.06
shall not include the Canadian Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit issued under
this Section 2.06 may be denominated in either United States or Canadian dollars, provided
that any Letters of Credit issued in Canadian dollars are subject to both the Letter of Credit
sublimit contained in this Section 2.06 and the Canadian Subfacility sublimit contained in Section
2.01.

 

40

 

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by
1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank,
as applicable, most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an
amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage or Canadian Applicable Percentage, as
applicable; provided that, Swingline Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable,
will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in
like funds, to the respective Funding Account; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and/or
Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the
Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as
applicable, such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Funding Bank, as applicable, may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such
date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as
applicable, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to
the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Funding Bank, as applicable, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation; provided that nothing herein shall discharge the Borrowers of any obligation to
pay interest on the Loans in the manner and amounts set forth in this Agreement. If such
Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as
applicable, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of
the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing or CDOR Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such
Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different
Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or CDOR
Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The
Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans
comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Canadian Swingline Borrowings, Swingline
Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Administrative Borrower was requesting a
Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date
of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and
shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent and (in
the case of a Borrowing under the Canadian Subfacility) the Canadian Funding Bank of a written Interest Election Request in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit H signed by the Administrative Borrower.

 

41

 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions
thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime
Rate Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, the
Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which
shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, shall advise each Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Administrative Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Revolving Borrowing prior to the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as
provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an
ABR Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, as applicable. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or CDOR Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing or a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, as applicable, at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full
of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters
of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or
alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the
Administrative Agent of a cash deposit or a Backstop Letter of Credit equal to 103% of the LC
Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees
(including, without limitation all the Issuing Bank’s fees), and (iv) the payment in full of
all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon.

 

42

 

(c) The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days
prior to the effective date of such termination, specifying such election and the effective
date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise
the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Administrative Borrower
pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination
of the Commitments delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination of the Commitments shall be permanent.

(d) Upon termination of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, if either (i) a
claim is asserted or threatened or a notice of assessment has been received or is threatened
for withholding liabilities by any Governmental Authority in either the United States or
Canada arising in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or
(ii) all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers are (or are contemplated to be)
liquidated or otherwise disposed of or the Borrowers have otherwise substantially ceased (or
are contemplating ceasing) business operations, the Administrative Agent may require the
Borrowers to obtain a letter of credit for the benefit of the Lenders or pledge cash
collateral in an amount that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will be sufficient
to protect the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders from any liability accrued and unpaid for withholding tax liabilities (actual or
contingent) accrued under United States or Canadian laws during the term of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers
hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity
Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the
earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent, (iii) to the Swingline Lender
and the Canadian Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the
earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan and Canadian Swingline
Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days
after such Swingline Loan and Canadian Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date
that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans and Canadian Swingline
Loans then outstanding from the proceeds of Revolving Loans or otherwise, and (iv) to the
Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each Overadvance on the earlier of the
Maturity Date and the 30th day after such Overadvance is made.

(b) At all times that full cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the
Security Agreement, on each Business Day, at or before 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, the
Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection
Account first to apply to any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be
outstanding, pro rata, and second to apply to the Revolving Loans (including Swingline
Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure (if and
to the extent that such cash collateral is required under Section 2.06(j)).

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan
made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time hereunder.

 

43

 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan and the date such Loan is made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Funding Bank hereunder
for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein (absent manifest error); provided that the failure of any
Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank to maintain such accounts or any
error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the
Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its
successors and assigns) and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more
promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to repay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(b) Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on such
occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving
Commitments or (B) the
Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall repay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or
Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of repayment of
a Swingline Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender or the Canadian Funding
Bank, as applicable) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any repayment hereunder (i) in
the case of repayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Revolving Borrowing, not
later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of repayment,
(ii) in the case of repayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Revolving
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), Chicago time, on the date of repayment or (iii)
in the case of repayment of a Swingline Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00
p.m., Chicago time, on the date of repayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the repayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid; provided that, if a notice of repayment is given in connection with a
conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then
such notice of repayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance
with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Funding Bank, if applicable, shall advise
the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each repayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied
ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Repayments shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

 

44

 

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender an unused commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the
average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from
and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments terminate. Accrued unused commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day
of each March, June, September and December and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All unused commitment
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender (who is not a Canadian Lender) a participation fee with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue (A) with respect to standby Letters of
Credit, at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), and (B) with respect to
documentary Letters of Credit, at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate used to determine the
interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans minus 0.25% on the average
daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements), in each case during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of
0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving
Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing
Bank’s standard fees (including standard fees with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit)
with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and
including the last day of each March, June, September and December shall be payable on the
third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after
the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which
the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation
fees and
fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it)
for distribution, in the case of unused commitment fees and participation fees, to the
Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each
Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate and the Loans comprising each
Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing (including each Canadian Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the
Canadian Prime Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

 

45

 

(c) The Loans comprising each CDOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the
Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to
the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders
notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected
thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at
2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall
accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.

(f) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the
event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving
Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or
CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such
Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. The Canadian Borrower shall
pay to the Canadian Funding Bank, for the ratable benefit of the Canadian Lenders, in
accordance with this Subsection 2.13(f), interest accrued on all Canadian Prime Rate Loans and
CDOR Loans (which shall be payable by the Canadian Funding Bank to the Canadian Lenders on the
next Business Day after payment by the Canadian Borrower).

(g) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except
that interest computed by reference to the Canadian Prime Rate and to the Alternate Base Rate,
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, the CDOR Rate or the
Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which
any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days
in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent to the stated rate multiplied by the actual
number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in
the shorter period (360 days, in the example).

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rates of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period; or

 

46

 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate, the LIBO Rate or the CDOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by
telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, as
applicable, shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests (x) a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, or (y) a CDOR Revolving
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate)
or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
2.15(a) shall not apply to any matter governed by Section 2.17.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case
may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrowers. The Borrowers shall
pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

47

 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required
to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal
of any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR 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 Eurodollar Loan
or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure
to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under
Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar
Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result
of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers
shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, to the
extent actually incurred by such Lender. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan, such loss,
cost or expense to any Lender shall include the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or CDOR Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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 for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid,
at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from
other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of or in lieu of any
obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to
deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent,
Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions or
withholdings and (iii) the Loan Parties shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the
Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan
Parties hereunder (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, but only to the extent that such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Loan Parties by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

48

 

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Loan Parties to a Governmental Authority, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which
such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to
the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including, without limitation, as set out in Article VIII) or reasonably requested by the
Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan
Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such
refund to the Loan Parties (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Loan Parties,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid
over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which
it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17, the Loan
Parties shall not be liable to any Lender under this Section 2.17 for any payments required to
be made as a result of willful acts made by such Lender, including, without limitation, any
breach or inaccuracy of such Lender’s representation contained in the last paragraph of
Article VIII hereof.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The
Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16
or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at 120 South LaSalle Street, Chicago,
Illinois, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank (including payments under any
Existing Letters of Credit), Swingline Lender, Canadian Swingline Lender or the Canadian Funding
Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period
of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars (except that payments made under
the Canadian Subfacility shall be made in Canadian dollars). At all times that full cash dominion
is in effect pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Security Agreement, solely for purposes of determining
the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks and cash or other immediately
available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be
applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the day of receipt, subject to actual
collection.

 

49

 

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian
Funding Bank, as applicable, (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal,
interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as
specified by the Borrowers) or (B) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when full
cash dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii)
after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so
elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first,
to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (including with respect to the Existing Letters of
Credit) from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services), second,
to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other
than in connection with Banking Services), third, to pay interest due in respect of
the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the
Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on
the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to
repay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative
Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations,
eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services,
ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender by the Borrowers, and tenth, payment to Issuing Bank for issuance of
standby L/C in favor of the Administrative Agent in an amount to be determined by the
Administrative Agent with respect to Section 212(13.2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by
the Borrowers, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan of a
Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such
Eurodollar Loan or CDOR Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no
outstanding ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, of the same Class and, in
any event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with
Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion
of the Secured Obligations.

(c) All payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable
expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to
Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds
of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or, if there is not sufficient
Availability to make such payment or if all conditions to Borrowing have not been satisfied,
may be deducted from any deposit
account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank,
as applicable. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) the Administrative Agent or the
Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each
payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due
under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans
(including Swingline Loans, Canadian Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing
may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as
described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested
pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) if there is not sufficient
Availability to make such payment or if all conditions to Borrowing have not been satisfied,
the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the
Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, for each payment of
principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the
Loan Documents.

 

50

 

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers
consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount
of such participation.

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

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder,
then the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Funding Bank, as applicable, for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

 

51

 

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.15 or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant Section 2.17, then:

(a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future, and (ii) in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, would not subject such
Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment);

(b) the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, require such Lender (but, in the
case of a Lender requesting compensation under Section 2.15, only if the majority of the other
Lenders are not similarly affected) or any Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund
Loans hereunder (herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice to the Departing Lender
and the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after such default by the Departing
Lender, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall
have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving
Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or
Canadian Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable
to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.17,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to
the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Funding
Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person
because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside,
determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust
funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall
be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Funding Bank or such
Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any
contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Funding Bank or
any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section
2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

52

 

SECTION 2.21. Increase In Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement:

(a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrowers may from time to
time request an increase in the
aggregate Revolving Commitments by an amount not less than $10,000,000 for any such
increase and not exceeding $75,000,000 for all such increases; provided that any increase in
the aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall not result in an
increase in the amount of any of the subfacilities contained in this Agreement. At the time of
sending such notice, the Borrowers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no
event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the
Lenders). Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or
not it agrees to increase its Commitment with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit and, if
so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such
requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to increase such Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and
each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full
amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may, with the prior consent of the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), invite additional lending
institutions to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(b) If the Revolving Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Increase
Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the
Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrowers shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase
Effective Date signed by a Financial Officer or otherwise acceptable officer of such Loan
Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or
consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before
and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in
Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and
as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in
all material respects as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists.

SECTION 2.22. Adjustments of Advance Rates and Reserves; Permitted Acquisition Eligibility
and Reporting. (a) The Administrative Agent may from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion,
reduce the advance rates used in the calculation of the Borrowing Base or adjust or establish one
or more Collateral Reserves against the Borrowing Base or Exposure Reserves against Availability,
with such changes to be effective (A) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, three (3) days after delivery of notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders, and
(B) after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default,
immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent will not use a single
basis for adjustment to both establish new Reserves and to reduce advance rates, (ii) the size of
any required Reserves and/or advance rate reductions will be reasonably related to the
Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ increased risk with respect to the basis for adjustment,
and (iii) no single Reserve will count against both the Borrowing Base and Availability. The
Administrative Agent may use its Permitted Discretion to determine whether future Reserves should
constitute Collateral Reserves or Exposure Reserves and may from time to time in its Permitted
Discretion determine that a Reserve should be recategorized from a Collateral Reserve or Exposure
Reserve to the other type of Reserve hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Accounts and
Inventory acquired in connection with a Permitted Acquisition that is permitted pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement may be included as Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory
without the requirement
of a field audit or other appraisal thereof by the Administrative Agent to the extent that (x)
such Accounts and Inventory meet the requirements of the definitions of Eligible Accounts and
Eligible Inventory, respectively, and (y) in the case of Accounts, the Accounts are owed by
Account Debtors that already have Accounts included in the calculation of Eligible Accounts,
and, in the case of Inventory, the type of Inventory acquired is already a type of Inventory
sold by the Borrowers and entered as an SKU in the Borrowers’ inventory
system. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the definition of “Permitted
Acquisition” or in Section 6.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to make any prior reports
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with “Permitted Acquisitions” made by
the Borrowers in an aggregate amount during the term of this Agreement not to exceed
$5,000,000.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties 

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Loan Parties and each of its
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and subsisting and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do
business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan
Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required,
stockholder action. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed
and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan
Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect
and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will
not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c)
will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding
upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any
payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such violations or
defaults which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan
Documents.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrowers have
heretofore furnished to the Lenders Holdings’ consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,
stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004,
reported by PricewaterhouseCoopers, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the
fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, certified by its chief
financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

 

54

 

(b) No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or would reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since December 31, 2004.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, Schedule
3.05(a) sets forth the address of each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by each
Loan Party. Each of such leases and subleases is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms
and is in full force and effect, and no default by any Loan Party under any such lease or sublease
exists. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property, free of all Liens other than those
permitted by Section 6.02.

(b) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property necessary to its business as
currently conducted the absence of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, a correct and complete list of which, as of the date of this Agreement, is set
forth on Schedule 3.05(b), and the use thereof by the Loan Parties and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person,
and except as set forth on Schedule 3.05, the Loan Parties’ rights thereto are not, as
of the date of this Agreement, subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or
proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and
that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this
Agreement or the Transactions.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received notice of any claim
with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental
Liability and (ii) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any
Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability
(including any property now or previously in its charge, management or control).

(c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the
Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially
increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Except with respect to matters
governed by Section 3.09, each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other
instruments binding upon it or its property, except in each case where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.08. Investment and Holding Company Status. No Loan Party nor any of its
Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a “holding company” as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

 

55

 

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused
to be filed all material federal income tax returns and reports (including the Canadian Borrower’s
Canadian Tax returns) required to have been filed after the Petition Date and has paid or caused to
be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it after the Petition Date, except
(a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan
Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance
with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no tax liens, other than the British
Columbia Tax Lien, have been filed after the Petition Date and no material claims have been
asserted with respect to any such taxes after the Petition Date. The Borrowers have provided the
Administrative Agent with true and complete copies of the Canadian federal income tax returns of
the Canadian Borrower for the years 2003 and 2004. The British Columbia Tax Lien relates to tobacco
tax liabilities that are accounted for in the monthly computation of the Canadian Tobacco Tax
Reserve.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably
expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Lien has
arisen, choate or inchoate, in respect of any Loan Party or its property in connection with any
Plan. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA,
the Code and its terms, including timely filing of all reports and funding as required under the
Code or ERISA. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10 no Plan has any material unfunded
pension liability.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Borrowers have disclosed to the Lenders all agreements,
instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject,
and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.12. Material Agreements. All material agreements and contracts to which any
Loan Party is a party or is bound as of the date of this Agreement are listed on Schedule
3.12. Except for such defaults which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party is in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any
material agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or
governing Indebtedness.

SECTION 3.13. Solvency. (a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to
occur on the Effective Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair
valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the
present fair saleable value of the assets of each Loan Party will be greater than the amount that
will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured;
(iii) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) each Loan Party will
not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as
such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted after the Effective Date. In
computing the amount of contingent or unliquidated liabilities at any time, such liabilities shall
be computed at the amount that, in the light of all facts and circumstances then existing,
represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become actual or matured liabilities.

(b) No Loan Party believes that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond
its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of
cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to be
payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.

 

56

 

SECTION 3.14. Insurance. Schedule 3.14 sets forth a description of all
insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries as of the Effective
Date. As of the Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid. The
Borrowers believe that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrowers and the
Subsidiaries is adequate.

SECTION 3.15. Capitalization and Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.15 sets forth, as of
the Effective Date, (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to each Borrower
of each and all of such Borrower’s active Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each
class of each Borrower’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued and outstanding
shares are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and, in the case of each
Borrower other than Holdings, owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on
Schedule 3.15, and (c) the type of entity of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries.
All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent
such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and
are fully paid and non-assessable.

SECTION 3.16. Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. For Liens in
Collateral for which perfection is governed by the UCC or filing with the United States Copyright
Office, such Liens shall constitute continuing perfected Liens on the Collateral, securing the
Secured Obligations, upon (a) filing of a financing statement under the UCC and the completion of
the filings and other necessary actions, (b) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of all
Collateral consisting of instruments and certificated securities, (c) the execution of control
agreements with respect to investment property not in certificated form and deposit accounts and
(d) appropriate filings with the United States Copyright Office. Such security interest shall be
prior to all other Liens on the Collateral except for (a) Permitted Encumbrances or Liens otherwise
permitted under this Agreement, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances or other Liens would
have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable law,
and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to
the extent the Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such
Collateral.

SECTION 3.17. Labor Disputes. Except for matters that, individually or in the
aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) as of the
Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened, (b) the hours worked by and
payments made to employees of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of
the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, local or foreign
law dealing with such matters, and (c) all payments due from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or
for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and
employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability
on the books of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.18. Affiliate Transactions. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.18, as
of the date of this Agreement, there are no existing or proposed agreements, arrangements,
understandings, or transactions involving more than $250,000 individually or $1,000,000 in the
aggregate between any Loan Party and any of the officers, members, managers, directors,
stockholders (holding 20% or more of equity interests in the case of Holdings), parents, other
interest holders (holding 20% or more of equity interests in the case of Holdings), employees, or
Affiliates (other than Subsidiaries) of any Loan Party or any members of their respective immediate
families, and none of the foregoing Persons are directly or indirectly indebted to or have any
direct or indirect ownership, partnership, or voting interest in any Affiliate of any Loan Party or
any Person with which any Loan Party has a business relationship or which competes with any Loan
Party.

 

57

 

SECTION 3.19. Common Enterprise. The successful operation and condition of each of the
Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of
the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent
on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to
derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may
reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations
of each of the other Loan Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers
hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Loan
Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect
benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest.

ARTICLE IV

of any Loan Party shall fail within 30 days to discharge one or more non-monetary judgments or
orders which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and which judgments or orders, in any such case, are not stayed on
appeal or otherwise being appropriately contested in good faith by proper proceedings
diligently pursued;

(k) (x) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders,
when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be
expected to either (i) result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in liability of any
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $2,500,000 for all periods, or
(y) any Lien arises in connection with any Plan;

(l) a Change in Control shall occur;

(m) the Loan Guaranty shall fail to remain in full force or effect or any action shall be
taken by any Loan Party to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or unenforceability of the
Loan Guaranty, or any Loan Guarantor shall fail in any material respect to comply with any of
the material terms or provisions of the Loan Guaranty to which it is a party, or any Loan
Guarantor shall deny that it has any further liability under the Loan Guaranty to which it is
a party, or shall give notice to such effect;

 

77

 

(n) (i) any Collateral Document shall for any reason fail to create a valid and perfected
first priority security interest in any Collateral having an aggregate value in excess of
$500,000 purported to be covered thereby, except as permitted by the terms of this Agreement
or (ii) any Collateral Document, or any Collateral Document shall fail to remain in full force
or effect or any action shall be taken to discontinue or to assert the invalidity or
unenforceability of any Collateral Document, or (iii) any Loan Party shall fail to comply in
any material respect with any of the material terms or provisions of any Collateral Document
and in the case of this clause (iii), such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of
10 Business Days after the earlier of the date on which an officer of any Loan Party obtains
knowledge of such breach or notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; or

(o) any material provision of this Agreement or any material Loan Document for any reason
ceases to be valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms (or any Loan Party
shall challenge the enforceability of this Agreement or any material Loan Document or shall
assert in writing, or engage in any action or inaction based on any such assertion, that any
provision of any of this Agreement or any of the other material Loan Documents has ceased to
be or otherwise is not valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms); or

(p) any Loan Party is criminally indicted or convicted under any law and such indictment
or conviction would, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonably determination, be likely to
result in a Material Adverse Effect;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Borrower described in clause
(g) or (h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the
Borrowers, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different
times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately,
and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which
case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and
payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with
accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder,
shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers; and in case of any event with respect to
any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon
and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall automatically become
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrowers. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and
remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity,
including all remedies provided under the UCC, the PPSA, the BIA or the Companies’ Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada).

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including
execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

78

 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or
obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent
or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or
in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on
the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

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

 

79

 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance
of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall
be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and
such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on
behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the
information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report
and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will
inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the
Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and
that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the
Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the
Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained
in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative
Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees)
incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of
any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

The Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents shall not have any right, power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to
all Lenders as such.

Each Lender (including, without limitation, any assignee or transferee of all or any part of
any of the Obligations owing by any Borrower) that is not a United States Person (as such term is
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two original
copies (one for the Borrowers) of:

(i) properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first
calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year
(if it is then permitted to do so under law) during which interest may be paid to such Lender
under this Agreement properly claiming such Lender is eligible for an exemption from or a
reduction of withholding tax under a United States of America tax treaty or a provision of the
Code or the regulations thereunder;

 

80

 

(ii) properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the
first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year (if it is then permitted
to do so under law) of such Lender during which interest may be paid to such Lender under this
Agreement properly claiming such Lender is exempt from United States of America withholding
tax or interest paid under this Agreement because it is effectively connected with a United
States of America trade or business of such Lender; or

(iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the
United States of America (if it is then permitted to do so under law) as a condition to
exemption from, or reduction of, United States of America withholding tax.

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

If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States of
America 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 owing to such Lender,
pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof, such Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the
percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of the respective Obligations of
the Borrowers to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent
will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid.

Each Canadian Lender (including, without limitation, any assignee or transferee of all or any
part of any of the Obligations owing by the Canadian Borrower) that is not a Canadian resident, or
an “authorized foreign bank” (as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), for Canadian
tax purposes shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (if it is then permitted to do so under law)
two original copies (one for the Borrower) of such other form or forms as may be required under a
Canadian tax treaty or any provision of Canadian federal or provincial law as a condition to or
exemption from, or reduction of, Canadian withholding tax, if such Lender is so qualified. Such
Canadian Lender agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances
which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative
Agent (acting through its Canada Branch or otherwise) 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 subsection (a) or subsection (c), as
applicable, of this Section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent (acting through its
Canada Branch or otherwise), then the Administrative Agent (acting through its Canada Branch or
otherwise) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other
documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States of America or other
jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent fully
for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise,
including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs and
expenses (including reasonable 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
the Administrative Agent.

 

81

 

Each Canadian Lender hereby certifies that it is an “authorized foreign bank” as defined in
the Income Tax Act (Canada) and it holds its interest in the Canadian Loans in the course of its
“Canadian banking business” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Canadian Funding Bank, to the extent any of its functions, actions or obligations under
this Agreement, including, the administration of any Loans, shall be afforded the same protections,
agreements, etc. available to the Administrative Agent under this Article VIII.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed
by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by
facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during
normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of
business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites)
pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Funding Bank, as
applicable; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article
II or to compliance and no Event of Default certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d)
unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The
Administrative Agent or the Borrowers (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in their
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such
procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other
communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s
receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt
requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement),
provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such

available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and
under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing
Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or
thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required
Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan
Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone
any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any
date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce
the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change
Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the
definition of Borrowing Base, add new categories of eligible assets or make less restrictive
the non-discretionary criteria for the exclusion of eligible assets, without the written
consent of each Revolving Lender, (vi) change

 

83

 

any of the provisions of this Section or the
definitions of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive,
amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release any Loan Guarantor from
its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other
Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) except as provided in
clauses (c) and (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release a portion of the
Collateral valued in the aggregate in excess of $50,000,000 during any calendar year, without
the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall
amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Canadian Funding Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Canadian Swingline Lender
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender or the Canadian Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The Administrative
Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into
pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and
in its reasonable discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the
Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of all Commitments, payment and
satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations),
and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party
disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition
is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely
conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property
leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction
permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of
such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written
authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in
its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of
$2,500,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required
Lenders. Any 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 the Loan
Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of
any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the
consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required
Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect within thirty (30) days after
the failure to obtain such consent, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent which
written consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld, to replace a Non-Consenting
Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such
replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the
Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all
obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with
the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such
Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and
other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder
to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such
Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, provided that the Borrowers shall not be
obligated to make any payment to such Lender on the day of such replacement under
Section 2.16.

 

84

 

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent,
in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the
internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of
the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing
Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (including with respect to the Existing Letters of
Credit), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, in connection with the enforcement, collection or
protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, (iv) after the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for such Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or
protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (v) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank, in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder. Expenses
being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing and subject to the terms of this Agreement, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with:

(i) appraisals;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on (A) the fees charged
by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or (B) the internally allocated
fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field
examination, including field examination fees equal to $850 per day per examiner (plus
reasonable out-of-pocket-expenses);

(iii) lien and title searches and title insurance;

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for filing financing statements and
continuations, and other actions necessary or appropriate to perfect, protect, and
continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;

(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the

(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and

preserving and protecting the Collateral.

 

85

 

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to
another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each
Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, reasonably incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) in
the case of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and their Related Parties, the
execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the
case of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and their Related Parties, any Loan or

(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Canadian Funding Bank, the Swingline Lender
or the Canadian Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or
the Canadian Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage or
Canadian Applicable Percentage, as applicable, (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent, the Canadian Funding Bank, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Canadian
Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants
(to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A) the Administrative Borrower, provided that no consent of the
Administrative Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender (other than an assignment by a Canadian Lender to a Lender or
an Affiliate which is not a resident of Canada, or an “authorized foreign bank” for
purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) or an Approved Fund or, if a Default or an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Issuing Bank.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,
provided that no such consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) (i) no Lender (who is not a Canadian Lender) shall assign all or any part
of its Commitment or US domestic Loans unless such Lender’s related Affiliate
assigns the same percentage of its Canadian Revolving Commitment and Canadian
Revolving Loans to the same assignee (or related Affiliate of the same assignee),
(ii) no Canadian Lender shall assign all or any part of its Canadian Revolving
Commitment or Canadian Revolving Loans unless such Lender’s related Affiliate
assigns the same percentage of its US Commitment and US domestic Loans to the same
assignee (or related Affiliate of the same assignee),

(D) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500; and

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by
Section 2.17(e).

 

87

 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person
(other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank
loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is
administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of
this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swingline Lender shall not be permitted to
make a partial assignment of the Swingline Loans and the Canadian Swingline Lender shall
not be permitted to make a partial assignment of the Canadian Swingline Loans.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no assignee of
a Canadian Lender shall be permitted to seek any indemnification for, or the payment of,
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes described in Section 2.17 hereof or any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto from the
Canadian Borrower, unless amounts payable to the Lender from which the assignee received
its assignment (the “assignor”) would have also been subject to, or such assignor would
have also been required to pay, such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and (ii) no
assignee of a Lender (who is not a Canadian Lender) shall be permitted to seek any
indemnification for, or the payment of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes described in
Section 2.17 hereof or any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto from the Borrowers, unless amounts payable to the assignor would
have also been subject to, or such assignor would have also been required to pay, such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that the limitations contained in
this Section shall not apply to any assignees who are assigned their interests hereunder
after a Default or Event of Default.

(v) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered
to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (and
any changes thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise), and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements and interest thereon owing to and paid
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

 

88

 

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have
failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or
(e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to
accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register
unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued
interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section,
each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15,
2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A
Participant (A) in the case of a participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender, shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrowers are
notified of the participation sold to such Participant, and (B) such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a
Lender. For greater certainty, any Canadian Lender that intends to sell a participation
to a Person which is not a resident of Canada or an “authorized foreign bank” (for
purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) shall give prior written notice thereof to the
Canadian Borrower. No Lender (who is not a Canadian Lender) shall sell any participation
in its US Commitments or US domestic Loans unless such Lender’s related Affiliate sells a
participation interest of an equal percentage of its Canadian Revolving Commitment and
Canadian Revolving Loans to the same Participant or a related Affiliate of such
Participant, and no Canadian Lender shall sell any participation in its Canadian
Revolving Commitments or Canadian Revolving Loans unless such Lender (or its related
Affiliate) sells an equal percentage of its US Commitment and US domestic Loans to the
same Participant or a related Affiliate of such Participant.

 

89

 

(iii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations, acting
solely for this purpose as agent for the Borrowers, shall maintain a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of such Participants (and each change thereto,
whether by assignment or otherwise) and the rights, interests or Obligations of such
Participants in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any
payments hereunder.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion
of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without
limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this
Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of
any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any
Letter of Credit is outstanding and has not been cash collateralized or back-stopped and so long as
the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or
any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

90

 

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any
time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any
Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or
any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application
under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Judicial
Reference. (a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law
provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting
in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan
Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by
law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto 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 provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document in any court (including US and Canadian courts) referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.

(e) If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or
against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any document related hereto, (a) the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make
a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee or
referees to hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact
or of law) and to report a statement of decision, provided that at the option of Lender, any
such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and (b) the Borrowers
shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such
action or proceeding.

 

91

 

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who need to know such information
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority following notice to the Borrowers of such
request by the Administrative Agent and an opportunity for the Borrowers to protest to such
regulatory authority if practicable, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Law or by any
subpoena or similar legal process following notice to the Borrowers of such requirement by the
Administrative Agent and an opportunity for the Borrowers to contest if practicable, (d) to any
other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers, (h) to the extent
such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section
or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers, and (i) to a Lender’s regulatory
authorities in the course of any examination of its books and records. For the purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to any
Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any
Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower after the
date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

 

92

 

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to
make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or
looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any
Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the
“Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.15. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments
in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates.

SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, the PPSA or any
other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the
Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall
deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in
accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.18. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court
it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the
“Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of
exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the
Administrative Agent could purchase in the Chicago foreign exchange market, the Original Currency
with the Second Currency on the date two (2) Business Days preceding that on which judgment is
given. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only
to the extent that, on the date the Lender receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due
hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking
procedures, purchase, in the Chicago foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount
of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could
have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each
Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to
indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this
Section 9.18 means the spot rate at which the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal
practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency,
and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

ARTICLE X

Loan Guaranty 

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and
severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all
reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default by the Administrative Agent, any Lender and the Issuing Bank in
endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any
action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the
Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively
the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed
Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from
it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All
terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and
not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any
other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated
Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise
provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and
absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason
(other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations or a signed
waiver or release executed by the Administrative Agent), including: (i) any claim of waiver,
release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise other than as written; (ii) any change in
the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other
person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party other than such Loan
Guarantor, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated
Party other than such Loan Guarantor; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights
which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any
unrelated transactions.

 

94

 

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated
Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to
any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release,
non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the
Borrowers for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other
guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or
failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any
collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to
any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge
of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in
full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any
Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any
Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not
provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person
against any Obligated Party, or any other person. The Administrative Agent may, at its election,
foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an
assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with
respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or
adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated
Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty
except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out
of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair
or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan
Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim
or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or
indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties
and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s
obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time
as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms
of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan
Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.

 

95

 

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty,
and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any
duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or
risks.

SECTION 10.08. Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to
the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of
termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan
Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed
or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals,
extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of
that Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09. [Intentionally omitted.]

SECTION 10.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable,
and in any action or proceeding involving any state or provincial corporate law, or any state,
provincial, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the
rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty
would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the
amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any
further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the
highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such
highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum
Liability”. This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to
avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any
right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent
necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable
under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time
and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this
Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that,
nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder
beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.11. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying
Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any
loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations
under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall
contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable
Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For
purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with
respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on
which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s
Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to
make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been
determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from any
Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the
aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as
of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any
contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any
Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from any
Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in
this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors
covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a
Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in
cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or
more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

96

 

SECTION 10.12. Liability Joint and Several. The obligations of each Loan Party as a
Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to all obligations of each Loan Party to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of
the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement
evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. The Loan Parties
are jointly and severally liable for the repayment in full of the Obligations.

ARTICLE XI

Multiple Borrower Provisions 

SECTION 11.01. Independent Obligations; Subrogation. The obligations of each Borrower,
as guarantor of another Borrower’s Obligations hereunder, are joint and several. To the maximum
extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives any claim, right or remedy which it may now
have or hereafter acquire against another Borrower that arises hereunder including, without
limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, or participation in any claim, right or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender against any Borrower or any Collateral which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether
or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law
or otherwise until the Obligations hereunder are fully paid and finally discharged. In addition,
each Borrower hereby waives any right to proceed against another Borrower, now or hereafter, for
contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, and any other suretyship rights and claims, whether direct
or indirect, liquidated or contingent, whether arising under express or implied contract or by
operation of law, which any Borrower may now have or hereafter have as against another Borrower
with respect to the Obligations hereunder until such Obligations are fully paid and finally
discharged. Each Borrower also hereby waives any rights of recourse to or with respect to any asset
of any other Borrower until the Obligations hereunder are fully paid and finally discharged.

SECTION 11.02. Authority to Modify Obligations and Security. Each Borrower (a
“Consenting Borrower”) authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, without notice
or demand (except to the extent otherwise required under this Agreement) and without affecting such
Consenting Borrower’s liability hereunder, from time to time, whether before or after any notice of
termination hereof or before or after any default in respect of the Obligations hereunder, to:

(a) accept, substitute, waive, decrease, increase, release, exchange or otherwise alter
any Collateral, in whole or in part, securing any other Borrower’s (an “Affected
Borrower”) Obligations;

(b) apply any and all such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as
the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may determine;

 

97

 

(c) deal with any Affected Borrower as the Administrative Agent may elect;

(d) in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, settle, release on terms
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or by operation of law or otherwise, compound,
compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate any Affected Borrower’s obligations and/or any of
the Collateral in any manner, and bid and purchase any of the collateral at any sale thereof;

(e) apply any and all payments or recoveries from an Affected Borrower as the
Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may determine, whether or not such payment relates to
the Obligations of the Consenting Borrower hereunder; and whether such Obligations are secured
or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others; and

(f) apply any sums realized from Collateral furnished by an Affected Borrower upon any of
its indebtedness or obligations to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as the
Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness
relates to the Obligations of the Consenting Borrower hereunder.

SECTION 11.03. Waiver of Defenses. Upon an Event of Default by any Borrower in respect
of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, at its option and without notice to the
other Borrowers, proceed directly against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount of
the liability hereunder, or any portion thereof, and each Borrower waives any right to require the
Administrative Agent to:

(a) proceed against any other Borrower or any other person whomsoever;

(b) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral given to or held by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the Obligations hereunder;

(c) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of any of the
Collateral except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law; or

(d) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power whatsoever.

A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against a Borrower whether or not action
is brought against any other Borrower and whether any other Borrower be joined in any such action
or actions.

SECTION 11.04. Right to Dispose of Security; Impairment of Rights. Each Borrower
hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent in its discretion, without any notice or
demand to such Borrower whatsoever (except as otherwise required under this Agreement) and without
affecting the liability of such Borrower hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which the
Administrative Agent may have available to it against any other Borrower, including, but not
limited to, judicial foreclosure, exercise of rights of power of sale without judicial action, or
taking a deed or an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to any Collateral, and such Borrower
hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent against such Borrower of any
deficiency after such action notwithstanding any impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy against another Borrower or against any Collateral for the
Obligations hereunder.

 

98

 

SECTION 11.05. Additional Waivers. Each Borrower waives any defense arising by reason
of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or by reason of any cessation from any
cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Borrower or by reason of any act or omission of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or others which directly or indirectly results in or aids the
discharge or release of any other Borrower or any Obligations hereunder or any Collateral by
operation of law or otherwise. No exercise by the Administrative Agent of, and no omission of the
Administrative Agent to exercise, any power or authority recognized herein and no impairment or
suspension of any right or remedy of the Administrative Agent against any Borrower or any
Collateral shall in any way suspend, discharge, release, exonerate or otherwise affect any of the
Obligations of Borrower hereunder or any Collateral furnished by any Borrower or give to any
Borrower any right of recourse against the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower specifically agrees
that the failure of the Administrative Agent: (a) to perfect any lien on or security interest in
any property heretofore or hereafter given by any Borrower to secure payment of the Obligations
hereunder, or to record or file any document relating thereto; or (b) to file or enforce a claim
against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or other proceeding) of any Borrower shall
not in any manner whatsoever terminate, diminish, exonerate or otherwise affect the liability of
any Borrower hereunder.

SECTION 11.06. No Right To Information. Each Borrower waives the right, if any, to
require the Administrative Agent to disclose to such Borrower any information it may now have or
hereafter acquire concerning another Borrower’s character, credit, Collateral, financial condition
or other matters. Each Borrower has established adequate means to obtain from the other Borrowers
on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to such other Borrower’s business
and affairs, and assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial and
other conditions of the other Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations hereunder which diligent inquiry would reveal. The Administrative
Agent need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the authority of any of its respective
officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act in its behalf, and any
Obligations hereunder created in reliance upon the purported exercise of such power or authority is
hereby guaranteed. All Obligations to the Administrative Agent heretofore, now, or hereafter
created shall be deemed to have been granted at each Borrower’s special insistence and request and
in consideration of and in reliance upon this Agreement.

SECTION 11.07. Notices, Demands, Etc. Except as expressly provided by this Agreement,
the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to make or give to any Borrower,
and each Borrower hereby waives diligence, all rights of setoff and counterclaim against Lender,
all demands, presentments, protests, notices of protests, notices of nonperformance, notices of
dishonor, and all other notices of every kind or nature, including notice of the existence,
creation or incurring of any new or additional Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.08. Subordination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.08, any
indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter owing to another Borrower is hereby subordinated to
the Obligations of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, whether
heretofore, now or hereafter created, and whether before or after notice of termination hereof,
and, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Borrower
shall, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, pay in whole or in part any of such
indebtedness nor will any Borrower accept any payment of or on account of any such indebtedness at
any time while such Borrower remains liable hereunder. At the request of the Administrative Agent,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent all or any part of such subordinated indebtedness and any amount so paid
to the Administrative Agent at its request shall be applied to payment of the Obligations
hereunder. Each payment on the indebtedness of a Borrower to another Borrower received in violation
of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by such Borrower as trustee
for the Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent immediately on
account of the Obligations hereunder, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Borrower’s
liability under any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to file all claims
against any other Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is
required by law in respect of any indebtedness of any other Borrower to such Borrower, and the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of any such Borrower’s rights thereunder. If for any
reason any Borrower fails to file such claim at least thirty (30) days prior to the last date on
which such claim should be filed, the Administrative Agent, as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, is
hereby authorized to do so in such Borrower’s name or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to
assign such claim to, and cause a proof of claim to be filed in the name of, the Administrative
Agent’s nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person
or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount
payable on the claim in the proceeding, and to the full extent necessary for that purpose such
Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all such Borrower’s rights to any payments or
distributions to which such Borrower otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater
than such Borrower’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent will pay the excess amount to
the party entitled thereto.

 

99

 

SECTION 11.09. Revival. If any payments of money or transfers of property made to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Borrower should for any reason subsequently be declared
to be fraudulent (within the meaning of any state or federal law relating to fraudulent
conveyances), preferential or otherwise voidable or recoverable in whole or in part for any reason
(hereinafter collectively called “voidable transfers”) under the bankruptcy code or any
other federal or state or provincial law, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required
to repay or restore any such voidable transfer, or the amount or any portion thereof, then as to
any such voidable transfer or the amount repaid or restored and all costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender related thereto, Borrower’s liability
hereunder shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though such
voidable transfer had never been made to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

SECTION 11.10. Understanding of Waivers. Each Borrower warrants and agrees that the
waivers set forth in this Article XI are made with full knowledge of their significance and
consequences. If any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public
policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SECTION 11.11. Unlimited Liability. The Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall
be in addition to any obligations of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
heretofore given or hereafter to be given to the Administrative Agent or any Lender unless such
other obligations are expressly modified or terminated in writing. The Obligations of the Borrowers
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall at all times be deemed to be the aggregate
liability of the Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement and of any other obligations
heretofore or hereafter incurred by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under
this Agreement or the Loan Documents and not expressly terminated or modified in writing.

SECTION 11.12. International as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints International 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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans 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 Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling
of the Loans and Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is
done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of
Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each
Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loans and the
Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on
the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally
agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and hold the Administrative Agent and
each Lender harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury,
made against the Administrative Agent or any Lender by any Borrower or by any third party
whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loans and Collateral of
Borrowers as herein provided, (b) reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on any
instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no
liability to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 11.12 with respect
to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be.

Affiliate Transactions

Transactions with Directors and Management

Harvey L. Tepner, a member of our board of directors (and a member of our compensation
committee and chairman of our audit committee from August 2004 through September 2, 2005), is a
Partner of Compass Advisers, LLP. Mr. Tepner is also a Managing Director of Compass SRP Associates
LLP, a special purpose joint venture that provided financial advisory and investment banking
services to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Fleming in connection with Fleming’s
bankruptcy. Compass Advisers, LLP owns a 50% interest in Compass SRP Associates LLP. Pursuant to
the Plan, Compass SRP Associates LLP has received total fees and expenses of approximately
$4,781,000, of which $2,269,930 was distributed to Compass Advisers, LLP. All fees and expenses
paid to Compass SRP Associates LLP were approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware after submission of applications by Compass SRP Associates LLP. Harvey L.
Tepner is a member of the board of directors of the Post Confirmation Trust of the Fleming
Companies but recused himself from any discussions regarding the compensation of Compass SRP
Associates LLP.

One of our customers, Eureka Management Group LLC, is primarily owned by Ron McPherson, who is
the father of Scott McPherson, one of our Vice Presidents. The Company recorded net sales to Eureka
Management Group LLC of approximately $190,000 and $825,000 in the first six months of 2005 and
2004, respectively. These transactions were negotiated at arms-length and in the ordinary course.
As of June 30, 2005, we held a non-recourse note receivable of approximately $220,000 related to
these transactions, which is collateralized by a deed of trust on a convenience store owned by
Eureka Management Group LLC.

Securities Issued Pursuant to Our 2004 and 2005 Long Term Incentive Plans

In August 2004, we approved the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 1,060,422 shares
of our common stock to certain of our officers and employees under our 2004 Long Term Incentive
Plan. The options have an exercise price of $15.50, the fair value of a share of our common stock
as determined pursuant to the Plan and have a three year vesting period. One third of the shares
vested on August 23, 2005, and the remaining shares vest in equal monthly installments over the two
year period commencing on August 23, 2005, for each consecutive month of service that individual
provides to the Company. Certain members of our management are entitled to accelerated vesting of
their option shares and restricted stock units in the event that they are terminated without cause
or resign for good reason prior to the expiration of the vesting period or are terminated without
cause or resign for good reason within one year after a change of control of the company.

In addition in 2004, we issued an aggregate of 190,876 shares of restricted common stock and
restricted stock units to certain of our officers and employees under our 2004 Long Term Incentive
Plan. The transfer restrictions with respect to one third of the shares of restricted common stock
lapsed on August 23, 2005 and the transfer restrictions with respect to the remaining shares of
restricted common stock lapse in equal monthly installments over the two year period commencing on
August 23, 2005 for each month of service provided by the stockholder to the Company. The
restricted stock units vest over a three year period. One third of the shares vested on August 23,
2005, and the remaining shares vest in equal monthly installments over the two year period
commencing on August 23, 2005, for each consecutive month of service that the individuals provide
services to Company. If we are acquired by a non-public company, then all unvested shares will
immediately vest. In addition, if we are acquired by a public company and the holder of the
restricted stock is terminated without cause within one year after we are acquired, then all
unvested shares will immediately vest.

 

 

In February 2005, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approved the grant of
restricted stock units to certain of our officers and employees under our 2005 Long Term Incentive
Plan having a value of approximately $5.0 million with a vesting commencement date of February 1,
2005. It is anticipated that such grants will be made in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Options Issued Pursuant to Our Directors Equity Incentive Plans

In August, 2004, we issued an option to purchase 7,500 shares to each of our non-employee
directors under our 2004 Directors Equity Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of
$15.50, the fair value of a share of our common stock as determined pursuant to the Plan. The
options vest over three years. One third of the options vested on August 23, 2005, and the
remaining options vest in equal quarterly installments over the two year period commencing on
August 23, 2005, for each consecutive quarter that the grantee remains a director. Any unvested
option shares will immediately vest upon a change of control of the Company.

In August, 2005, we issued an option to purchase 7,500 shares to two new non-employee
directors under our 2005 Directors Equity Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of
$27.03, the fair value of a share of our common stock as determined by our Board of Directors as
provided in the plan on the basis of the average trading price of our common stock over the twenty
trading days ending two trading days prior to the date of grant. The options vest over three years
and expire after seven years. One third of the options vest on August 12, 2006, and the remaining
options vest in equal quarterly installments over the two year period commencing on August 12,
2006, for each consecutive quarter that the grantee remains a director. Any unvested option shares
will immediately vest upon a change of control of the Company.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

INDEBTEDNESS

(1) Trust Guarantees (See Schedule 3.12)

The Company guarantees the payment of all Post Confirmation Trust administrative claims in
excess of $56 million. In addition, if the assets of the Reclamation Creditors Trust are
inadequate to satisfy all of the allowed Trade Lien Vendor claims in the RCT, the Company must
pay such claims in full plus any accrued interest. The Company also guarantees all eligible
but unpaid non-TLV claims in the RCT up to a maximum of $15 million. The Plan of
Reorganization limits the combined RCT guarantee amounts of the TLV and non-TLV claims to no
more than $137 million. Based on the estimates provided by the Trusts and the Company’s
analysis, the assets of the Trusts are sufficient to satisfy the claims against it; therefore,
the Company believes that the fair value of its guarantee liability as of December 31, 2004
was not significant. However, if the assets of the Trusts prove insufficient to pay the
claims, the Company could be required to satisfy the guarantees.

(2) Surety Bonds — Please refer to attached schedule of Surety Bonds.

OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWERS

October __, 2005

To the Lenders and the Administrative

Agent Referred to Below

c/o JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Administrative Agent

270 Park Avenue

New York, New York 10017

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc., Core-Mark International, Inc.,
Core-Mark Holdings I, Inc., Core-Mark Holdings II, Inc., and Core-Mark Holdings III, Inc., each a
Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Delaware Corporate Opinion Parties”), Core-Mark
Interrelated Companies, Inc., a California corporation (the “California Corporate Opinion Party”
and together with the Delaware Corporate Opinion Parties, the “Corporate Opinion Parties”), and
Core-Mark Midcontinent, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, Head Distributing Company, a Georgia
corporation, and Minter-Weisman Co., a Minnesota corporation (collectively, the “Designated
Companies” and together with the Corporate Opinion Parties, the “Credit Parties”) in connection
with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by, the Credit Agreement dated as of September
____, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”).
Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used (but not otherwise defined) herein are
used herein as so defined.

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction) of (a) (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Security Agreement, (iii) the Deposit
Account Control Agreements listed on Schedule 1 hereto (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”)
and (b) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates
or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Credit
Parties, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of
all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact
material to these opinions that have not been independently established, we have relied upon
certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Credit Parties and upon
the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained in the Agreement. We have also
assumed (i) the valid existence of the Designated Companies, (ii) that the Designated Companies
have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction
Documents and (iii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by
the Designated Companies. As used herein, “to our knowledge” and “of which we are aware” mean the
conscious awareness of facts or other information by any lawyer in our firm actively involved in
the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

Exhibit B

 

 

 

October
_____, 2005

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion
that:

1. Each Delaware Corporate Opinion Party is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. Each Delaware Corporate Opinion Party is duly qualified to transact business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction identified in Schedule 2
hereto.

2. The California Corporate Opinion Party is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of California and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted. The California Corporate Opinion Party is duly qualified to transact business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction identified in Schedule 2
hereto.

3. Each Corporate Opinion Party has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver each Transaction Document and to perform its respective obligations thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance by each of the Corporate Opinion Parties of each Transaction
Document to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of each Corporate Opinion Party. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by each such Corporate Opinion Party. Assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, each of the Transaction Documents
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party party thereto, enforceable
against each such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’
rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity,
including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that (A) rights to
indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or
public policy relating thereto, (B) no opinion is expressed with respect to rights of set-off under
the Transaction Documents, (C) certain remedial provisions of the Transaction Documents are or may
be unenforceable in whole or in part under the laws of the State of New York, but the inclusion of
such provisions does not affect the validity of the Transaction Documents, and the Transaction
Documents contain adequate provisions for the practical realization of the rights and benefits
afforded thereby, (D) no opinion is expressed with respect to any provision of any Transaction
Document providing for liquidated damages and (E) no opinion is expressed with respect to the
enforceability of Section 9.09(e) of the Credit Agreement or the enforceability under the laws of
the State of California of any provision of any Transaction Document providing for waiver of jury
trial or reference to a referee. No opinion is expressed in this paragraph as to the attachment,
perfection or priority of any liens granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

Exhibit B

 

 

 

October
___, 2005

4. The execution and delivery by each Credit Party of the Transaction Documents to which such
Credit Party is a party and the performance by such Credit Party of
its respective obligations thereunder will not conflict with, constitute a default under or violate (i)
with respect to each Credit Party, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the corporate
charter or by-laws of such Credit Party, (ii) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any
material document, agreement or other instrument listed on Schedule 3 hereto, (iii) any New
York, California, Delaware corporate or federal law or regulation (other than federal and state
securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph), including
without limitation, Regulation T, Regulation U and Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or (iv) any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court
or governmental authority binding on any Credit Party of which we are aware.

5. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with
any New York, California, Delaware corporate or federal governmental authority is required in
connection with the execution and delivery by any Credit Party of the Transaction Documents, the
consummation by any Credit Party of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance by any
Credit Party of its respective obligations thereunder, except for (i) filings in connection with
perfecting security interests created by the Transaction Documents, (ii) federal and state
securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph, (iii) those
already obtained and (iv) immaterial consents, approvals, waivers, license or authorizations or
other actions.

6. [Except as set forth in                     ], to our knowledge, there is no litigation,
proceeding or governmental investigation pending or overtly threatened against any Credit Party
that relates to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the business, assets or financial
condition of such Credit Parties and their respective subsidiaries taken as a whole.

7. (a) The execution and delivery of the Security Agreement creates a valid security interest
in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), as security for the Obligations. Assuming
the filing of the financing statements on Form UCC 1 attached hereto as Exhibit A with the
Secretary of State of the States of Delaware and California, as applicable, such security interest
is perfected, to the extent a security interest in the Collateral may be perfected by the filing of
a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Delaware (the “DE
UCC”) and the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of California (the “CA UCC”).

(b) The execution and delivery of the Security Agreement creates a valid lien on and
security interest in the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), as
security for the Obligations. Assuming (i) delivery in the State of New York to the
Administrative Agent (the “Pledgee”) of all certificates that represent the Pledged
Collateral, together with stock powers properly executed in blank with respect thereto, and
(ii) that the Pledgee was without notice of any adverse claim (as such phrase is defined in
Section 8-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”
and, together with the DE UCC and the CA UCC, the “UCC”) with respect to the Pledged
Collateral, such security interest is perfected and is free of any adverse claim.

Exhibit B

 

 

 

October
___, 2005

The opinions in subparagraph (a) and, with respect to subclause A below, subparagraph (b) are
subject to the following exceptions:

A. that with respect to rights in the Collateral of any Grantor (as defined in the
Security Agreement), we express no opinion, and have assumed that such Grantor has rights
in the Collateral;

B. that with respect to any Collateral as to which the perfection of a lien or
security interest is governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the States of
New York, Delaware or California, we express no opinion;

C. that with respect to security interests in real property leases or insurance
policies, we express no opinion;

D. that with respect to any Collateral which is or may become fixtures (as defined
in Section 9-102(a)(41) of the UCC) or a commercial tort claim (as defined in Section
9-102(a)(13) of the UCC), we express no opinion; and

E. that with respect to transactions excluded from Article 9 of the UCC by Section
9-109 thereof, we express no opinion.

The opinion set forth in subparagraph (b) is also subject to the following
exceptions:

F. that with respect to (i) federal tax liens accorded priority under law and (ii)
liens created under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 which
are properly filed after the date hereof, we express no opinion as to the relative
priority of such liens and the security interests created by the Security Agreement or as
to whether such liens may be adverse claims; and

G. that with respect to any claim (including for taxes) in favor of any state or any
of its respective agencies, authorities, municipalities or political subdivisions which
claim is given lien status and/or priority under any law of such state, we express no
opinion as to the relative priority of such liens and the security interests created by
the Security Agreement or as to whether such liens may be adverse claims.

In addition, the opinions in subparagraphs (a) and (b) are subject to (i) the limitations on
perfection of security interests in proceeds resulting from the operation of Section 9-315 of the
UCC; (ii) the limitations with respect to buyers in the ordinary course of business imposed by
Sections 9-318 and 9-320 of the UCC; (iii) the limitations with respect to documents, instruments
and securities imposed by Sections 8-302, 9-312 and 9-331 of the UCC; (iv) the provisions of
Section 9-203 of the UCC relating to the time of attachment; and (v) Section 552 of Title 11 of the
United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with respect to any Collateral acquired by a Grantor
subsequent to the commencement of a case against or by a Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code.

We further assume that all filings will be timely made and duly filed as necessary (i) in the
event of a change in the name, identity or corporate structure of a Grantor, (ii) in the event of a
change in the location of a Grantor and (iii) to continue to maintain the effectiveness of the
original filings.

Exhibit B

(c) The execution and delivery by the Grantors of the Security Agreement creates in favor
of the Administrative Agent a valid security interest in each Deposit Account described
therein. Upon the execution and delivery of the Deposit Account Control Agreements listed on
Schedule 1 hereto by the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the bank at which such Deposit
Account referenced in Schedule 1 is maintained, the security interest granted to the
Administrative Agent in such Deposit Account will be perfected.

The opinion set forth in this paragraph (c) is subject to the following exceptions:

A. that with respect to rights in or title to the Collateral of the Grantors (as
such term is defined in the Security Agreement), we express no opinion, and have assumed
that the Grantors have rights in the Collateral; and

B. that with respect to any Collateral as to which the perfection of a lien or
security interest is governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the States of
New York, Delaware or California, we express no opinion.

In addition, the opinion in paragraph (c) is subject to (i) the limitations on perfection of
security interests in proceeds resulting from the operation of Section 9-315 of the UCC; (ii) the
limitations with respect to securities imposed by Sections 8-302 and 9-312 of the UCC; (iii) the
provisions of Section 9-203 of the UCC relating to the time of attachment; and (iv) Section 552 of
Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with respect to any Collateral acquired
by a Grantor subsequent to the commencement of a case against or by a Grantor under the Bankruptcy
Code.

8. No Credit Party is an “investment company” and none of the Credit Parties is a company
controlled by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

9. None of the Credit Parties is a “holding company” or “subsidiary company” as defined in, or
subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the laws of
the State of California, the corporate laws of the State of Delaware, Article 9 of the DE UCC,
Article 9 of the CA UCC and the federal laws of the United States, and we express no opinion as to
the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The
opinions expressed herein are rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions
described herein. Those opinions may not be used or relied upon by any other person, nor may this
letter or any copies hereof be furnished to a third party, filed with a governmental agency,
quoted, cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
