herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the
Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a revolving loan or revolving
loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the
Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in the respective Available Currency
elected by the Borrower, (ii) shall, at the option of Borrower, be incurred and maintained as,
and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans, Euro Denominated Loans or Sterling
Denominated Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section
2.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type,
(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not be made
(and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof
(after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to
repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Aggregate
Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last
delivered) and (v) in the case of any Borrowing of (A) Euro Denominated Loans shall not be made
(and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof
would cause the Euro Denominated Obligations to exceed the Maximum Euro Denominated Obligations
Amount or (B) Sterling Denominated Loans shall not be made (and

-55-

 

shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof
would cause the Sterling Denominated Obligations to exceed the Maximum Sterling Denominated Loan
Amount.

          (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees
to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the
Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and,
collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be
incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) may be
repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate
principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all
Revolving Loans then outstanding and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings at
such time, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time, (v) shall not be made (and shall
not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after
giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any
amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Aggregate Exposure to
exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) and
(vi) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline
Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(b), (i) the
Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default
exists with respect to an Lender unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements
satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the
Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash
collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage of the outstanding
Swingline Loans, and (ii) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has
received written notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating
that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline
Lender shall have received written notice (A) of rescission of all such notices from the party or
parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (B) of the waiver of such Default or Event
of Default by the Required Lenders.

          (c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the
Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more
Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been
automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or
upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which
case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a
“Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all
Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before
giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph
of Section 11) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay
the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees
to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the
amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing
by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply
with the Minimum

-56-

 

Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in
Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the
date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Borrowing Base or Total Commitment at
such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date
otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees
that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have
occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior
to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans
as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon
their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the
Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that (x)
all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until
the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent
attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after
such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually
made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal
amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory
Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest
rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day
thereafter.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01(a) or elsewhere in this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such amounts, and
with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem
necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base, including, without limitation, reserves with
respect to (i) sums that the Borrower is or will be required to pay (such as taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such
leases) and have not yet paid (including, without limitation, a Rent Reserve against Eligible
Inventory included in the Borrowing Base) and (ii) amounts owing by the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the
Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent is capable
of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens granted in the
Security Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers,
mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales,
or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral.
In addition to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to have the Borrower’s
and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Guarantor’s Inventory reappraised by a qualified appraisal company
selected by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.01(p) after the Initial Borrowing
Date for the purpose of re-determining the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Eligible Inventory,
and, as a result, re-determining the Borrowing Base.

          (e) In the event the Borrower is unable to comply with (i) the Borrowing Base limitations set
forth in Sections 2.01(a) or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans or the
issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 7, (x) the Lenders authorize the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make Revolving Loans to

-57-

 

the Borrower, which, in each case, may only be made as Base Rate Loans (each, an “Agent
Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Notice
of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earlier of (i) the twentieth Business Day after
such date, (ii) the date the Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations
and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or
obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto or (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct
the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance
Period”). The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such
time the amount of such Agent Advance, either (I) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of
all other Agent Advances made to the Borrower at such time, would exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base
at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) which are incurred as
Revolving Loans, when added to the Aggregate Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the
incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Commitment at such time. It is
understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that the Borrower shall have no right to
require that any Agent Advances be made. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement
with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04.

          2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each
Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. More than one
Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than 15
Borrowings of Euro Rate Loans.

          2.03. Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar
Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least
three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base
Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory
Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one
Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that
(in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given
before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of
Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and
shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit
A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be
incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the relevant currency), (ii) the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such
Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder,
Euro Rate Loans and, if Euro Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and
(v) in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are to be utilized to
finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition (or to pay any fees and expenses incurred in
connection therewith), the amount of the Borrowing Availability after giving effect to such
Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make
Loans specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such
Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding
sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

-58-

 

          (b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall
give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that a Swingline
Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each
Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each
case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the aggregate principal amount
of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, and (C) in the case of a
Borrowing of Swingline Loans the proceeds of which are to be utilized to finance, in whole or in
part, a Permitted Acquisition (or to pay any fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith),
the amount of the Borrowing Availability after giving effect to such Borrowing.

          (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(c), with the
Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the
Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(c).

          (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any
telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice
of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives
the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of
such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent
manifest error.

          2.04. Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than
3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the
case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date specified
in Section 2.01(c)), each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment of the respective Tranche will
make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of
each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made
available in Dollars (in the case of Dollar Denominated Loans), in Euros (in the case of Euro
Denominated Loans) or in Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Loans) and in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of
Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the
Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that
such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of
any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith

-59-

 

upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from
such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect
of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent,
at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate
for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day
thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the
respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall
be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any
rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to
make Loans hereunder.

          (b) Unless the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make Revolving
Loans to the Borrower that are maintained as Base Rate Loans under Section 2.01 without prior
notice of the proposed Borrowing to the Lenders as follows:

     (i) The amount of each Lender’s RL Percentage of Revolving Loans shall be computed
weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be
adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans as of
5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period
specified by the Administrative Agent (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). The
Lenders shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall
transfer to the Lenders such amounts as are necessary so that (after giving effect to all
such transfers) the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such
Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding as of such
Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of any such necessary transfer
is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, then
such Lender shall make transfers described above in immediately available funds no later
than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such notice was received; and if such notice is
received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall
make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business
Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and
unconditional and without recourse to, or without representation or warranty by, the
Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees and the
Lenders agree to mark their respective books and records on each Settlement Date to show at
all times the dollar amount of their respective RL Percentage of the outstanding Revolving
Loans on such date.

     (ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet
have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of
Revolving Loans by the Borrower prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply
such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

-60-

 

     (iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or
may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance
and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be
allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender and the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender
and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving
Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by
the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.04(b).

          2.05. Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on,
the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in
the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity
herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and
(ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

          (b) The Revolving Note issued to each Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be
payable to the order of such Lender (or an affiliate designated by such Lender) or its registered
assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date (or, if issued thereafter, the date of issuance
thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Lender on the date of issuance thereof (or, if issued after the termination of
such Revolving Loan Commitment, in an amount equal to the Exposure of the respective Lender),
provided that if, because of fluctuations in exchange rates after the date of issuance
thereof, the Revolving Note of any Lender would not be at least as great as the outstanding
principal amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of all Euro Denominated Loans and Sterling
Denominated Loans evidenced thereby) of the Revolving Loans made by such Lender at any time
outstanding, the respective Lender may request (and in such case the Borrower shall promptly
execute and deliver) a new Revolving Note in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount
(taking the Dollar Equivalent of all Euro Denominated Loans and Sterling Denominated Loans
evidenced thereby) of the Revolving Loans of such Lender outstanding on the date of the issuance of
such new Revolving Note, (iv) with respect to each Revolving Loan evidenced thereby, be payable in
the respective Available Currency in which such Revolving Loan was made, (v) mature on the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (vi) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clauses of Section
2.08 in respect of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (vii) be subject to
voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section
5.02 and (viii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

          (c) The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower,
(ii) be payable to the order of the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the
Initial Borrowing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the
Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in Dollars in the principal amount of

-61-

 

the outstanding Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the
Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in
respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as
provided in Section 5.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02 and (vii) be entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

          (d) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each
payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the
reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make
any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of such Loans.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere
in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request
the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its
Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay
the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced
thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the
security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender
which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make
the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests
the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to
evidence such Loans.

          2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day
beginning three Business Days following the Initial Borrowing Date, all or a portion equal to at
least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than
Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or
more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan,
provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be
converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans
being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding
principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than
the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree,
Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06
shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section
2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at
the Notice Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions
of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of
conversions of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a
“Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2,
appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings
pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Euro Rate Loans, the
Interest Period to be

-62-

 

initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice
of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

          2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement
shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan
Commitments, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders
pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender
shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder
and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder,
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

          2.08. Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i)
the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base
Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum
which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each
as in effect from time to time.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall,
during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable
Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate
for such Interest Period.

          (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of
each Euro Denominated Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity
thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during
each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as
in effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any
Mandatory Costs.

          (d) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of
each Sterling Denominated Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity
thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during
each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as
in effect from time to time plus Sterling LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any
Mandatory Costs.

          (e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of (1)
in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing with respect to,
Euro Denominated Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the relevant Applicable Margin as in
effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such successive periods not exceeding three
months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable
to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (2) in the case of overdue principal of,
and interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Sterling

-63-

 

Denominated Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Sterling
Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time plus Sterling LIBOR for such successive
periods not exceeding three months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in
respect of amounts comparable to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, and (3) for
each other Loan, each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate
which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans, and all other overdue
amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are
maintained at Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c)
shall be payable on demand.

          (f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each
Swingline Loan and Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (y) on
the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans of any Tranche
or Swingline Loans, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such
maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Euro Rate Loan, (x) on the last day of each
Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three
months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest
Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

          (g) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro
Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Euro Rate Loans and shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

          2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Euro Rate
Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New
York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable
to such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the
right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Euro
Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three, six or,
to the extent approved by each Lender with Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, any other
period, provided that (in each case):

     (i) all Euro Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same
Interest Period;

     (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Euro Rate Loan shall commence on the date of
Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base
Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Euro Rate Loan
shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto
expires;

-64-

 

     (iii) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no
numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such
Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

     (iv) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business
Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan
would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after
which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the
next preceding Business Day;

     (v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at
any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;

     (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends
beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; and

With respect to any Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing thereof, the Borrower, may elect to split the respective Borrowing into two or more
Borrowings of the same Type or combine two or more Borrowings of the same Type into a single
Borrowing, in each case, by having an Authorized Officer of the Borrower give notice thereof
together with its election of one or more Interest Periods, in each case so long as each resulting
Borrowing (x) has an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section
2.09, (y) has a principal amount which is not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to
Borrowings of the respective Type and Tranche, and (z) does not cause a violation of the
requirements of Section 2.02. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or are not permitted to elect, a
new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have elected (x) if Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate
Loans and (y) if Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such
Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such current
Interest Period.

          2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.(a) In
the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with
respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

     (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the
date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do
not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of Euro Rate; or

     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x)
any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation,
order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in

-65-

 

the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new
law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but
not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the
principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder
(except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or
net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or
applicable lending office is located) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but,
in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the
computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the
Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such Lender in
such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence);

     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made
unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or would conflict with any
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but
with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith
would not be unlawful), or impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the
Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market; or

     (iv) at any time that a Non-Dollar Currency is not available in sufficient amounts, as
determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, to fund any Borrowing of Non-Dollar
Denominated Loans requested pursuant to Section 2.01;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)
above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except
in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in
the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans
shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and
the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer
exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with
respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall
be deemed rescinded by the Borrower and (B) in the event that any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan is so
affected, the relevant Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the
definition of the relevant Euro Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to
pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in
its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (with the written notice
as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender in
accordance with the foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final and conclusive and binding on all
the parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any
of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) upon the
subsequent receipt of such notice), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower or shall
take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any

-66-

 

event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Non-Dollar
Denominated Loans denominated in the affected Non-Dollar Currency (exclusive of any such Non-Dollar
Denominated Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available until such time
as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or
notice pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) given by the Borrower with respect to such Non-Dollar
Denominated Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower. Each of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that if it gives notice to the Borrower of any of
the events described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, it shall promptly notify the
Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to
exist.

          (b) At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section
2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is
then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving
the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the
Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three
Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan,
require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which
conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later
than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier
day as shall be required by applicable law) and (B) in the case of any Euro Rate Loan (other than a
Eurodollar Loan), repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Euro Rate Loans in
full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.01; provided that, (i) if
the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) apply to any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan, the
Borrower, may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Non-Dollar Denominated
Loan outstanding, in which case, (x) in the case of Euro Denominated Loans, the applicable Euro
Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR or
(y) in the case of Sterling Denominated Term Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on
the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling LIBOR, as the case may be, unless
the maintenance of such Non-Dollar Denominated Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the
conditions described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described
above, without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than
one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to
this Section 2.10(b).

          (c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change
in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request
(whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in
interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of
such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower
agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be
required to compensate such Lender or such other

-67-

 

corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction
in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of
capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith
and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such
Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest
error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon
determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section
2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth such
Lender’s basis for asserting its rights under this Section 2.10(c) and the calculation, in
reasonable detail, of such additional amounts claimed hereunder, although the failure to give any
such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A Lender’s good faith
determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be
final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such
Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency,
supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by
any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or
regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding
office thereof) in respect of any Non-Dollar Denominated Loans or any category of liabilities which
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan is
determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a
non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves
are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Non-Dollar Denominated
Loans or in Section 2.10(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing
specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining
such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional
amounts) and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at
the time that the Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Non-Dollar
Denominated Loan or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

          2.11. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written
request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such
compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss,
expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated
profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender
or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not
occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation
(whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if
any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01,
Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion
of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any
date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the

-68-

 

Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay
Eurodollar Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or
(y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of
compensation owing pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis
for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) and a Lender’s calculation of the
amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties
hereto.

          2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or
Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending
office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal
or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to
the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

          2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender
charging to the Borrower increased costs materially in excess of the average costs being charged by
the other Lenders or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the
right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after
giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one
or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time
of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with identical Revolving Loan Commitments and/or
Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

     (a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement
Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section
13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the
Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among
the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the
Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans
(or, in the case of the replacement of only the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving
Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit
Outstandings) of, and in each case all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced
Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof
an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued
interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender with respect to which such
Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there
are

-69-

 

no Unpaid Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by
(and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with
respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid,
Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) each Issuing Lender an
amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to
Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (which at such time remains an
Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender
and (z) in the case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender
an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the
extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline
Lender; and

     (b) all obligations of the Borrower then due and owing to the Replaced Lender (other
than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment
purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any,
owing under Section 2.11 or (b) relating to any Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments of
the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the
respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such
replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this
Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to
execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such
Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement
Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution
of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the
Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement
Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have
outstanding a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a
Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which
shall survive as to such Replaced Lender, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically
adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

          2.14. Incremental Commitments. (a) So long as the Incremental Commitment Request
Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery of the request referred to below, the
Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with, Administrative Agent as to
all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.14, but without requiring the consent of any
of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Initial Borrowing Date and
prior to the date which is three months prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, that one or more
Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become
Lenders as provided below) provide Incremental Commitments, it being understood and agreed,
however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment as a result of
any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has

-70-

 

agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered
to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in
clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans or
participate in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit in excess of its Commitment as in effect prior
to giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.14, (ii) any
Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental
Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) each provision of Incremental Commitments
on a given date pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all
Lenders (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a lender)) of at least $10,000,000 and
in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iv) the aggregate amount of all
Incremental Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed the Maximum
Incremental Commitment Amount.

          (b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees
to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of such
Incremental Lender’s Incremental Commitment to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental
Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all
fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been
paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to
Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are
satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied, and
(z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement
shall have been satisfied. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the
effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) the Total Commitment
under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such
Incremental Commitments, (ii) Appendix A shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving
Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental
Lender, Revolving Loan Notes will be issued, at the expense of the Borrower, to such Incremental
Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

          (c) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the
Borrower shall, in coordination with Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of
certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including
the Incremental Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders
participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their
respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.14) and with the Borrower being obligated to pay to the respective
Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.10 in connection with any such repayment
and/or incurrence.

          SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

          3.01. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, a Borrower may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on
and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the
case of trade Letters of Credit described in clause (y) below (each a “Trade Letter of
Credit”)) prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for
the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such
holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form
customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such
Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable
trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as
has been approved by such Issuing Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit”
and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in
Dollars, Euros or Sterling and shall be issued on a sight basis only.

          (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees
that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior
to the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letter of Credit) prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request,
issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit in support of such obligations as
are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of
Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall
purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of
Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit
any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the
date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect
with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender
reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

     (ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the respective Borrower, any other
Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice
of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

          (c) Part A of Schedule XIX hereto contains a description of certain letters of credit issued
and outstanding on the Initial Borrowing Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter
of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s)
of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount (including the currency in which
such letter of credit is denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative

-72-

 

Currency), (v) the
name of the beneficiary, (vi) the expiry date and (vii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a
standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit,
including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance
with the terms thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a
“Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and issued, for purposes of Section 3.04(a),
on the Initial Borrowing Date. Any Lender hereunder (and any of such Lender’s Affiliates and/or
branches) which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an “Issuing Lender” for
all purposes of this Agreement.

          3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of
Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings
(exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the
respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $100,000,000, (y) when added to
the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the
aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total
Commitment at such time or (z) cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such
time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall
by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of
(A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such
standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each
case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms
acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date; provided that a standby Letter of Credit issued to support obligations under any
Specified Existing Ship Lease may terminate by its terms on or prior to the earlier to occur of (1)
the date which occurs 24 months after the date of the issuance thereof and (2) the fifth Business
Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on
or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and
(B) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Euro Denominated Letter of Credit shall be issued
the Stated Amount of which when added to the Euro Denominated Obligations (exclusive of Unpaid
Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of
Credit) would exceed the Maximum Euro Denominated Loan Amount and (ii) no Sterling Denominated
Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which when added to the Sterling Denominated
Obligations (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the
issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) would exceed the Maximum Sterling Denominated Loan
Amount.

          3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount. (a) Whenever the Borrower
desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least three Business Days’ (or such
shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of
facsimile) including without limitation by specifying the Available Currency such Letter of Credit
is to be denominated. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately
completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

-73-

 

          (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be
issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the
respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the
Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified
in Section 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate
Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with
such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or
amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such
notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or
amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On
the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent
with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender
Default exists with respect to a Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of
Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower
to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by
the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or
Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

          (c) The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit upon issuance shall be not less than (x) in the
case of a Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit, $250,000, (y) in the case of a Euro Denominated
Letter of Credit, €150,000 and (z) in the case of a Sterling Denominated Letter of Credit,
£150,000, or in each case such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing
Lender.

          3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an
Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and
transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a
“Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and
received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each
drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with
respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the
Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b),
it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings
relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this
Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may
be.

          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any
obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any

-74-

 

documents required to be
delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to
substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of
Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection
with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting
liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such
action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

          (c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by
it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant
to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall
promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such
unreimbursed payment in the currency of the respective Unpaid Drawing and in same day funds. If
the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day,
any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make
available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars or such other currency, as applicable, such
Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds.
If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of
such payment available to respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing
Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such
date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate
(or in the case of amounts owed in Euros, at the Overnight Euro Rate) for the first three days and
at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each
day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL
Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not
relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender
its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified
above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make
available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

          (d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it
has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender
shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars (or in
Euros or Sterling in the case of payments to be made in Euros or Sterling pursuant to Section
3.04(c)) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the
proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded
by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon
accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

          (e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant
copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably
be requested by such Participant.

-75-

 

          (f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect
to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification
or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of
Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee
may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein
or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or
any Subsidiary of the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

     (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

     (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of
any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

     (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

          3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to
reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the
Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), by making payment in Dollars (in the case of all Dollar
Denominated Letters of Credit), Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit) or
Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit) not later than one Business Day
following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that
no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section
11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and
payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing
Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such
payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date
such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to
time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however,
to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third
Business Day following notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing
Lender of such payment or disbursement, interest

-76-

 

shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or
disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate
per annum which shall be (x) in the case of
Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit, Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit, the Base Rate in
effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans in each case
maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case
of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit, the Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time
plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time
plus any Mandatory Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on
demand, provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however, that the
notices referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso shall not be
required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred
and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit
Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso on and after the third
Business Day following the respective Drawing). The respective Issuing Lender shall give the
Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the
failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish
the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender
with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued
by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have had
against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including,
without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to
conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the
beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such
Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting
willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or
any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant
with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not
having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit,
capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or
participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any
other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant
of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of
return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on,
or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Issuing Lender or

-77-

 

such
Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its
principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein),
then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing
Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such
Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such
Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such
Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate
of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any
additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written
notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower
by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such
Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

          SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

          4.01. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment
Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Commitment has been
terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage
of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to
time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each
Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Commitment is terminated.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender
(based on each such Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit
(the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit,
computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during
such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Eurodollar Loans on the daily
Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the
termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and
including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or
expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily
Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of
Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less
than $500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each

-78-

 

anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will
exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for
the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise
provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the
termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

          (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment
under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the
time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing
Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

          (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in
writing from time to time by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent.

          4.02. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at
the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the
Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or
penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part,
pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in the case of partial
reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that each such
reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each
Lender.

          (b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the
right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire
Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing
pursuant to Section 2.11 are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at
which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s
RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, such Lender shall
no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to
indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06,
5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

-79-

 

          4.03. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment (and the Revolving
Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on April 30, 2006, unless the
Initial Borrowing Date has occurred on or prior to such date.

          (b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03,
the Total Commitment shall terminate in its entirety upon the earlier of (i) the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, the date on which a
Change of Control occurs.

          (c) Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03
shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Revolving Loan
Commitment of each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment.

          SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

          5.01. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the
following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to
12:00 Noon (New York City time) at the Notice Office (x) at least one Business Day’s prior written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans
(or same day notice in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans) and (y) at least three Business
Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to
prepay Euro Rate Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether Revolving Loans or
Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be
prepaid and, in the case of Euro Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which
such Euro Rate Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in the case
of a prepayment of Swingline Loans, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) (x) each partial
prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent)
and (z) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent in any given case), provided that if any partial prepayment of Euro
Rate Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Euro
Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing
Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of Euro Rate
Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any
election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower or Borrower shall have no
force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans
made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans,
provided that at the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving
Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event
of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender;

          (b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the

-80-

 

Borrower may, upon three
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such
Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and
unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender in accordance with, and
subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment
of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (b), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of
such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which
time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y)
such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents,
if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b)
shall have been obtained.

          5.02. Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) (i) On any day on which the
(other than during an Agent Advance Period) Aggregate Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total
Commitment at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base
Certificate last delivered), the Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans
and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding,
Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of
all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit
Outstandings exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment at such time, and (B) the Borrowing
Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate (as delivered)), the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash
Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of
Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all
Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral
account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) On any day on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of all Euro Denominated Obligations exceeds the Maximum Euro Denominated Loan Amount, the Borrower
shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Euro Denominated Loans in an amount (taking
the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts paid in the respective currency in which payments on such Euro
Denominated Loans are owing) equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of
all outstanding Euro Denominated Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings
of Euro Letters of Credit exceeds the Maximum Euro Denominated Loan Amount, the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash
Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of
Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all
Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral
account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

          (iii) On any day on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of all Sterling Denominated Loans exceeds the Maximum Sterling Denominated Loan Amount, the
Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding

-81-

 

Sterling Denominated Loans in an
amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts paid in the respective currency in which
payments on such Sterling Denominated Loans are owing) equal to such excess. If, after giving
effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Sterling Denominated Loans, the aggregate amount of the
Letter of Credit Outstandings of Sterling Letters of Credit exceeds the Maximum Sterling
Denominated Loan Amount, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office
on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a
maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash
Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and
the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

          (b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date
upon which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale
(other than the California Disposition, to the extent the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom received by a
Subsidiary of the Borrower (exclusive of any portion thereof which is distributed to a minority
shareholder of such Subsidiary in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.06) are promptly
on-loaned to an Affiliate of the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.05 and
10.07), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be applied as a
mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.02(f); provided that (I) Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than (w) Net Sale
Proceeds from any Contemplated Asset Sale consummated in accordance with the requirements of
Section 10.02(xviii), (x) any Net Sale Proceeds from the sale of any Principal Property pursuant to
Section 10.02(xix) and (y) Net Sale Proceeds in excess of $100,000,000 in the aggregate in any
fiscal year of the Borrower received from Asset Sales made in reliance on Section 10.02(v)) shall
not give rise to a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction on such date as otherwise
required above, so long as no Specified Default and no Event of Default exists at the time such Net
Sale Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer of the Borrower has delivered a certificate to
the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used
(or contractually committed to be used) to purchase capital assets used or to be used in a
Permitted Business (other than inventory) within 360 days following the date of receipt of such Net
Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth (in reasonable detail) the
estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) and (II) Net Sale Proceeds from one (but not more than
one) sale of a Principal Property consummated after the Effective Date in reliance on Section
10.02(xix) and notified in writing to the Administrative Agent shall not give rise to a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction on such date as otherwise required above, so long as no
Specified Default and no Event of Default exists at the time such Net Sale Proceeds are received
and an Authorized Officer of the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent
on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used (or contractually
committed to be used) to purchase, construct and/or make investments in a new Principal Property
(or assets and properties that upon completion of such purchase, construction and/or investments
will become a Principal Property) within 360 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale
Proceeds from such sale of such Principal Property (which certificate shall set forth the estimates
of the proceeds to be so expended); provided, however, that (I) if all or any
portion of such Net
Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 360-day period (or contractually committed within
such period to be used), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as
a mandatory repayment as provided

-82-

 

above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding
proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not required to be applied on
the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso because such amount
is contractually committed within such period to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such
date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such
contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after the last day of such 360-day
period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining portion, in the case of either of
the preceding clauses (A) or (B), shall be applied as a mandatory repayment as provided above
(without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 5.02(b), (x) if any Permitted Senior Notes Document (after the
execution and delivery thereof), any Permitted Refinancing Senior Notes Document (after the
execution and delivery thereof) or the Existing Senior Notes Documents permit a lesser amount to be
retained or reinvested, or have a shorter reinvestment period, than is provided above with respect
to any Asset Sales, then such lesser permitted retained or reinvestment amount, and/or shorter
reinvestment period, as the case may be, shall be applicable for purposes of this Section 5.02(b)
so long as such Permitted Senior Notes, Permitted Refinancing Senior Notes or Existing Senior
Notes, as the case may be, remain outstanding, and (y) in no event shall the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries use any proceeds from any Asset Sale to make any voluntary or mandatory repayment or
prepayment of Permitted Senior Notes, Permitted Refinancing Senior Notes or Existing Senior Notes
and, before any such obligation to use such proceeds to make such repayment shall arise, the
Borrower or the respective Subsidiary shall reinvest the respective amounts as permitted above in
this Section 5.02(b) or apply such proceeds as a mandatory prepayment in accordance with
requirements of Section 5.02(f).

          (c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date
on or after the Initial Borrowing Date on which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives
any cash proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness which is not permitted to be incurred by this
Agreement, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of
Indebtedness shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of
Section 5.02(f).

          (d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within 10
days following each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date on which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than proceeds from Recovery
Events in an amount less than $5,000,000 per Recovery Event), an amount equal to 100% of the
proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs (including, without limitation, legal
costs and expenses) and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the amount of
such proceeds required to be used to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Lenders
pursuant to this Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets subject to such Recovery
Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the
requirements of Section 5.02(f); provided that so long as no Specified Default and no Event
of Default then exists, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the
extent that an Authorized Officer of the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed
to be used) within 360 days
following the date of receipt of such proceeds from such Recovery Event to replace or restore
any properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid (which certificate shall set

-83-

 

forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), and provided further, that
(I) if all or any portion of such proceeds are not so used (or contractually committed to be used)
within such 360-day period, such remaining portion shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or
commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso)
and (II) if all or any portion of such proceeds are not required to be applied on the last day of
such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually
committed to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or
expires without such portion being so used or (B) such contractually committed portion is not so
used within six months after the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this
proviso, such remaining portion, in the case of either of the preceding clauses (A) or (B), shall
be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving
effect to the immediately preceding proviso).

          (e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each
Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder (if positive) of (x) the Applicable
Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period
minus (y) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Term Loans (and Original Loans to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such repayments were made with internally generated funds
as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Term Credit Agreement (or the Original
Credit Agreement, as applicable) during the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period, shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of
Section 5.02(f).

          (f) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (c), (d), and (e) in
accordance with this Section 5.02(f) shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Term
Loans under the Term Credit Agreement to the extent required thereunder, second, to cash
collateralize the Pre-Funded L/Cs, third to repay Swingline Loans, and fourth to
repay Revolving Loans in each case without any reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment.

          (g) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may
designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of
Euro Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which
such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of Euro Rate Loans pursuant
to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
unless all Euro Rate Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of
required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii)
if any repayment of Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the
outstanding Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing
shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the
Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the
above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

          (h) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then
outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date
for such Tranche of Loans, and (ii) unless the Required Lenders

-84-

 

otherwise agree in writing, all
then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

          (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, each
Swingline Loan will be repaid (for the avoidance of doubt, such repayment may be made with proceeds
from Revolving Loans) no later than the seventh day following the incurrence thereof;
provided that, if the seventh day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day.

          5.03. Method and Place of Payment; Payments and Computations; Maintenance of Accounts;
Statement of Accounts. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments
under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date
when due and shall be made (x) in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of
the Administrative Agent in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement except
as otherwise provided in the immediately following clauses (y) and (z), (y) Euros in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, if such payment is made in
respect of principal of or interest on Euro Denominated Loans and (z) Sterling in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, if such payment is made in
respect of principal of or interest on Sterling Denominated Loans. Nothing in the succeeding
clauses of this Section 5.03 shall affect or alter the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with respect to all payments
otherwise required to be made by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be
payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

          (b) Each of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall, along with the Collateral Agent
and certain financial institutions selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative
Agent (the “Collection Banks”), enter into on or prior to the Effective Date (or such later
date as provided in Section 13.19) and thereafter maintain separate Cash Management Control
Agreements. The Borrower and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall instruct all Account Debtors
of the Borrower and such Domestic Subsidiaries to remit all payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes”
or “Lockbox Addresses” of the applicable Collection Bank with respect to all Accounts of such
Account Debtor, which remittances shall be collected by the applicable Collection Bank and
deposited in the applicable Collection Account. All amounts received by the Borrower, any of its
Domestic Subsidiaries and any Collection Bank in respect of any Account, in addition to all other
cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt be deposited into a Collection Account or
directly into the Core Concentration Account.

          (c) The Borrower and its respective Domestic Subsidiaries shall, along with the Collateral
Agent and each of those banks in which the Deposit Accounts (other than
Excluded Deposit Accounts but including all Collection Accounts and the Core Concentration
Account) are maintained, enter into on or prior to the Effective Date (or such later date as

-85-

 

provided in Section 13.19) and thereafter maintain separate Cash Management Control Agreements.

          (d) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Cash Management Control
Agreements, all collected amounts held in all of the Collection Accounts, with respect to the
Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall be wired by the close of business on each Business Day
into an account (the “Core Concentration Account”). Except as, and to the extent, all of
the Collection Accounts shall be “zero” balance accounts. So long as no Event of Default or
Compliance Period then exists, the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall be permitted to
transfer cash from the Core Concentration Account to the Excluded Deposit Accounts to be used for
working capital and general corporate purposes, all subject to the requirements of this Section
5.03(d) and pursuant to procedures and arrangements to be determined by the Administrative Agent.
If an Event of Default or Compliance Period exists, all collected amounts held in the Core
Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in Section 5.03(e).

          (e) During the continuance of a Compliance Period, all collected amounts held in the Core
Concentration Account shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis in the following order (in
each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or
outstanding as described below and any applications otherwise described in following clauses (x)
and (y), and after giving effect to the application of any such amounts (x) otherwise required to
be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) or (y) constituting proceeds
from any Collateral otherwise required to be applied pursuant to the terms of the respective
Security Document): (1) first, to the payment (on a ratable basis) of any outstanding
Expenses actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent under any
of the Credit Documents and to repay or prepay outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans
advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.01(e) and
2.04(b); (2) second, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clause (1) have
been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding Expenses actually due and payable to
each Issuing Lender under any of the Credit Documents and to repay all outstanding Unpaid Drawings
and all interest thereon; (3) third, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding
clauses (1) and (2) have been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all accrued and unpaid
interest actually due and payable on the Revolving Loans and all accrued and unpaid Fees actually
due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders under any of the
Credit Documents; (4) fourth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses
(1) through (3), inclusive, have been paid in full, to repay (on a ratable basis) the outstanding
principal of Revolving Loans (whether or not then due and payable), and (5) fifth, to the
extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, have been paid in
full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding Obligations then due and payable to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents.

          (f) Without limiting the provisions set forth in Section 13.15, the Administrative Agent shall
maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (collectively, the “Credit
Account”) in which the Borrower will be charged with all loans and advances made by the Lenders
to the Borrower for the Borrower’s account, including the Loans,
the Letter of Credit Outstandings, and the Fees, Expenses and any other Obligations relating
thereto. The Borrower will be credited, in accordance with this Section 5.03, with all amounts

-86-

 

received by the Lenders from the Borrower or from others for its account, including, as set forth
above, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied to the Obligations. In no
event shall prior recourse to any Accounts or other Collateral be a prerequisite to the
Administrative Agent’s right to demand payment of any Obligation upon its maturity. Further, the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the
Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts.

          (g) After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall send the Borrower and each
Lender a statement accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring
among and between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower
during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and the Lenders.

          5.04. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder and under any
Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section
5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political sub-division or
taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as
provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net
profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the
jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located
or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with
respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges
(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being
referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower
agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so
that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for
herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender,
for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the
laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or
applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision
or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the
principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of
taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of
such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in
respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower
will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is
due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the
Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such
Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such
Lender.

          (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the

-87-

 

Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an
assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b)
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment
or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with
respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such
Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an
income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii)
Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form)
certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any
Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a
lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate
in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two
new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form
W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the
portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such
other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a
continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments
under this Agreement and any Note, or such Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such
Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section
5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to
Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to
the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by
the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from
interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a
United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and
(y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made
to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender
has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to
 the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to
a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete
exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section
13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay any
additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a)
(without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in

-88-

 

respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding
sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable
law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof,
relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

          SECTION 6. [Reserved]. SECTION 7. Conditions Precedent to All Credit Events.

          The obligation of each Lender to make Loans (including Loans made on the Initial Borrowing
Date), and the obligation of each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit (including Letters of
Credit issued, or Existing Letters of Credit deemed issued, on the Initial Borrowing Date), is
subject, at the time of each such Credit Event (except as hereinafter indicated), to the
satisfaction of the following conditions:

          7.01. Limitation on Cash on Hand. The aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash owned or
held by the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries (determined after giving pro
forma effect to the making of each such Revolving Loan and/or Swingline Loan and the
application of proceeds therefrom and from any other Unrestricted Cash on hand (to the extent such
proceeds and/or other Unrestricted Cash are actually utilized by the Borrower and/or any other
Subsidiary of the Borrower on the date of the incurrence of the respective such Revolving Loan
and/or Swingline Loan for a permitted purpose under this Agreement other than an investment in Cash
Equivalents)) shall not exceed $25,000,000 for more than five consecutive Business Days (for
purposes of Unrestricted Cash denominated in a currency other than Dollars, taking the Dollar
Equivalent of such Unrestricted Cash as determined on the date of the incurrence of the respective
such Revolving Loan and/or Swingline Loan).

          7.02. No Default; Representations and Warranties. At the time of each such Credit
Event and also after giving effect thereto (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and
(ii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be
true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and
warranties had been made on the date of such Credit Event (it being understood and agreed that any
representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to
be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

          7.03. Notice of Borrowing; Letter of Credit Request. (a) Prior to the making of each
Loan (other than a Swingline Loan or a Revolving Loan made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the
Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing meeting the requirements of Section
2.03(a). Prior to the making of each Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall have received the
notice referred to in Section 2.03(b)(i).

          (b) Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit (other than the Existing Letters of
Credit), the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender shall have received a Letter of
Credit Request meeting the requirements of Section 3.03(a).

          The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the
conditions specified in this Section 7 (with respect to Credit Events on or

-89-

 

after the Initial
Borrowing Date) and applicable to such Credit Event are satisfied as of that time. All of the
Notes, certificates, legal opinions and other documents and papers referred to in this Section 7,
unless otherwise specified, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office for
the account of each of the Lenders and, except for the Notes, in sufficient counterparts or copies
for each of the Lenders and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

          SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

          In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make (and/or continue) the
Loans and issue and/or participate in the Letters of Credit as provided for herein, the Borrower
makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with the Lenders, in each case after
giving effect to the Transaction, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the making of the Loans and the issuance (or deemed issuance) of the Letters of Credit a
(with the occurrence of the Effective Date and each Credit Event on or after the Effective Date
being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this Section
8 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date and on and as of
the date of each such Credit Event, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date in which
case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
such earlier date):

          8.01. Company Status. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly
organized and validly existing Company in good standing (or its equivalent) under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the Company power and authority to own its property and
assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage and
(iii) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (or its
equivalent) in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified (or its equivalent) and
where the failure to be so qualified has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect.

          8.02. Company Power and Authority. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof has
the Company power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the
Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary Company action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Documents to which it is a party. Each Credit Party and
each Subsidiary thereof has duly executed and delivered each Document to which it is a party and
each such Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

          8.03. No Violation. (a) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit
Party or any Subsidiary thereof of the Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by any
Credit Party or any such Subsidiary with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated herein or therein, (i) will contravene any material provision of any
applicable law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with

-90-

 

or result in any breach
of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
(other than pursuant to the Security Documents) result in the creation or imposition of (or the
obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the material property or assets of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan agreement, credit agreement or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to
which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its material
property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject (including, without limitation, the
Existing Senior Notes Documents, the other Existing Indebtedness Agreements, and, on and after the
execution and delivery thereof, any Permitted Senior Notes Indenture and any Permitted Refinancing
Senior Notes Document) or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation,
by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of limited liability
company, limited liability company agreement or equivalent organizational document, as the case may
be, of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in Section 8.03(a):

     (i) this Agreement, together with the Term Credit Agreement, constitute (individually
and collectively) the “Credit Agreement” under, and as defined in, each Existing Senior
Notes Indenture;

     (ii) the incurrence by the Borrower of the Loans and other Indebtedness hereunder under
on the Initial Borrowing Date and on the date of each subsequent Credit Event will not
violate any of (I) Section 4.9 of the Existing 2011 Senior Notes Indenture or any other
provision thereof, or (II) Section 1014 of the Existing 2013 Senior Notes Indenture or any
other provision thereof and, without limiting the foregoing, on the Initial Borrowing Date,
neither the incurrence of any Loans to be incurred on such date, nor the incurrence of
Indebtedness in the full amount of the commitments available under the Term Credit Agreement
and pursuant to the Total Credit-Linked Commitment (as if, in each case, such commitments
were fully utilized on such date), would violate any of the sections specifically set forth
above (or any other provision) of the Existing Senior Notes Indentures;

     (iii) on the Initial Borrowing Date, (x) all Subsidiary Guarantors and (y) all
Borrowers (as defined in, and pursuant to, the Term Credit Agreement), are “Restricted
Subsidiaries” under, and as defined in, each Existing Senior Notes Indenture and have
executed and delivered guaranties in accordance with the requirements of the respective
Existing Senior Notes Indentures; and

     (iv) for the purpose of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” under, and as
defined in, each Existing Senior Notes Indenture, on the Initial Borrowing Date no repayment
of term loans and/or permanent commitment reductions in the revolving credit portion of the
Credit Agreement (as defined therein) has theretofore occurred (whether prior to, or on, the
Initial Borrowing Date) which has resulted in any reduction to the maximum aggregate amount
of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to, or under, the Credit Agreement (as
defined therein) in accordance with the applicable Existing Senior Notes Indenture.

-91-

 

          8.04. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the knowledge of any Senior Officer, threatened (i) with respect to any Credit
Document, (ii) with respect to the Transaction or any other Document or (iii) that have had, or
could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
Additionally, there does not exist any judgment, order or injunction prohibiting or imposing
material adverse conditions upon the occurrence of any Credit Event.

          8.05. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of Revolving Loans and
Swingline Loans shall be used for the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ ongoing working capital
requirements and general corporate purposes (including to effect Permitted Acquisitions (to the
extent permitted by this Agreement) but excluding payments in connection with the Transaction).

          (b) At the time of each Credit Event occurring on or after the Effective Date, the aggregate
value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(for such purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by the Borrower or such Subsidiary for the
respective shares of Margin Stock) does not exceed $10,000,000. In addition, at the time of each
Credit Event occurring on or after the Effective Date, the value of the Margin Stock at any time
owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not exceed 25% of the value of the assets of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the
proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with
the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

          8.06. Governmental Approvals. Except as may have been obtained or made on or prior to
the Effective Date (and which remain in full force and effect on the Effective Date), no order,
consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration
with, or exemption by, any foreign or domestic governmental or public body or authority, or any
subdivision thereof, is required to authorize or is required in connection with (i) the execution,
delivery and performance of any Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or
enforceability of any Document.

          8.07. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          8.08. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole)
heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information
contained in the Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other
Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual
information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any such Persons in writing
to any Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of
which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material
fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect
at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it being
understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 8.08, such factual information shall

-92-

 

not include the Projections or any projected financial information contained in any financial
projections delivered pursuant to Section 9.01.

          8.09. Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) On and as of the Effective Date,
on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness
(including the Loans) incurred, and to be incurred, and Liens created, and to be created, by each
Credit Party in connection therewith, with respect to the Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair
valuation, of the Borrower (on a stand-alone basis) and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a
consolidated basis) will exceed its or their debts, (y) it has or they have not incurred nor
intended to, nor believes or believe that it or they will, incur debts beyond its or their ability
to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) it or they will have sufficient capital with which
to conduct its or their business. For purposes of this Section 8.09(a), “debt” means any liability
on a claim, and “claim” means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to
judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed,
legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of
performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable
remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured
or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount
that, in the light of all facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that
can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

          (b) (i) The audited consolidated statements of financial condition of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 28, 2002, January 3, 2004 and January 1, 2005 and the related
consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years of the Borrower ended on such
dates, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the respective periods
covered thereby and (ii) the Pro Forma Financial Statements present a good faith
estimate of the consolidated pro forma financial condition of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and the pro forma results of operations of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries for the respective periods covered thereby (after giving effect to the
Transaction at the date thereof or for the period covered thereby). All of the financial
statements referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said
financial statements.

          (c) Since December 31, 2005 (but after giving effect to the Transaction as if same had
occurred immediately prior thereto), nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) Except as fully reflected in the financial statements described in Section 8.10(b) and as
otherwise permitted by Section 10.04, (i) there were as of the Effective Date (and after giving
effect to any Loans made on such date), no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the

-93-

 

aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole and (ii) the Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion against the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries of any such liability or obligation which, either individually or in the
aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) The Projections have been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements
referred to in Section 8.9(b) and are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the
management of the Borrower, and on the Effective Date, the Borrower believe that the Projections
are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections of future
events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered
by any such Projections may differ from the projected results contained therein. There is no fact
known to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, or could reasonably be expected to
have, a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed herein or in such other documents,
certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

          8.10. Security Interests. On and after the Effective Date, each of the Security
Documents creates (or after the execution and delivery thereof will create), as security for the
Obligations covered thereby, a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and Lien on all
of the Collateral subject thereto, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and
subject to no other Liens (except that, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement,
(i) the Security Agreement Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens, (ii) the Pledge Agreement
Collateral may be subject to the Liens described in clauses (i) and (v) of Section 10.03 and clause
(y) of Section 10.03(iii) and (iii) the security interest and mortgage lien created on any
Mortgaged Property may be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto), in favor of the
Collateral Agent (or such other trustee or sub-agent as may be required or desired under local
law). No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect and/or render enforceable as
against third parties the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings
or recordings required in connection with any such Security Document which shall have been made on
or prior to the Effective Date or on or prior to the execution and delivery thereof as contemplated
by Sections 9.11, 9.14 and 10.12.

          8.11. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Schedule VI sets forth, as of the Effective Date,
each Plan and each Multiemployer Plan. Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or
fund) is in compliance in all respects with its terms and in all respects with all applicable laws,
including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code and in compliance with the following, except to
the extent that any such noncompliances, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a
Material Adverse Effect; each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the
Code (or the sponsor has applied for such determination letter within the remedial amendment
period); (1) no Reportable Event has occurred; (2) to the knowledge of any Senior Officer, no
Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization; (3) no Plan has an Unfunded Current
Liability; (4) no Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an
accumulated funding deficiency, within the meaning of such Sections of the Code or ERISA, or has
applied for or received a waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or an extension of any
amortization period, within the meaning of

-94-

 

Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA; (5) all required contributions with respect to a Plan and
a Multiemployer Plan have been made; (6) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower
nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any outstanding material liability (including any indirect,
contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan pursuant to
Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA or Section
401(a)(29), 4971 or 4975 of the Code or expects to incur any such material liability under any of
the foregoing Sections with respect to any Plan or a Multiemployer Plan; (7) no condition exists
which presents a material risk to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA
Affiliate of incurring a material liability to or on account of a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; (8) no involuntary proceedings have
been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Plan which is subject to Title
IV of ERISA; (9) no action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with respect to the
administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for
benefits) is pending, expected or threatened; (10) using actuarial assumptions and computation
methods consistent with Part 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates to any Multiemployer Plans in the event of a
withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer
Plan ended prior to the date of the most recent Credit Event would not exceed $10,000,000; (11)
each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code)
which covers or has covered employees or former employees of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the
Borrower, or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in compliance with the provisions
of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code other than any
non-compliance which would not result in a material liability to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of
the Borrower; (12) no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate exists, is likely to arise on account of any Plan
or any Multiemployer Plan; and (13) and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower
maintains or contributes to (a) any employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of
ERISA) which provides benefits to retired employees and/or other former employees (other than as
required by Section 601 of ERISA) or (b) any Plan, the obligations with respect to which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and
with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and
has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities,
except to the extent that such noncompliances, individually or in the aggregate, would not result
in a Material Adverse Effect. All required contributions with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan
have been made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material
outstanding obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension
Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each
Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower ‘s most recently ended fiscal year
on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current
value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities or
alternatively, the Foreign Pension Plan is funded in compliance with applicable law in all material
respects and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have established adequate reserves for the present
value of such accrued benefit liabilities under

-95-

 

such Foreign Pension Plan in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.01(a)
and (b).

          8.12. Capitalization. On the Effective Date and after giving effect to the
Transaction, the authorized capital stock of the Borrower shall consist of 1,000 shares of common
stock, $.001 par value per share. All such outstanding shares have been duly and validly issued,
are fully paid and nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Prior to the IPO Transactions, the
Borrower does not have outstanding any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital
stock or outstanding any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase
of, or any agreement providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of, or any calls,
commitments or claims of any character relating to, its capital stock or any stock appreciation or
similar rights.

          8.13. Subsidiaries. On and as of the Effective Date and after giving effect to the
Transaction, Holdings has no Subsidiaries other than Westlake Wellbeing Company LLC, The California
Wellbeing Institute, LLC and Intermediate Holdco and its Subsidiaries, and Intermediate Holdco has
no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on Schedule VIII. Schedule VIII correctly
sets forth, as of the Effective Date and after giving effect to the Transaction, (i) the percentage
ownership (direct and indirect) of the Borrower in each class of capital stock or other Equity
Interests of each of its Subsidiaries and also identifies the direct owner thereof and (ii) the
jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary. All outstanding shares of capital stock or
other Equity Interests of each Subsidiary of Intermediate Holdco have been duly and validly issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable and, in the case of Non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the
Borrower, have been issued free of preemptive rights. Except as set forth on Part B of Schedule
VII attached hereto, no Subsidiary of Intermediate Holdco, as of the Effective Date, has
outstanding (i) any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock or other
Equity Interests (ii) any right to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options or warrants for the
purchase of, or any agreement providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of or any calls,
commitments or claims of any character relating to, its capital stock or (iii) other Equity
Interests or any stock appreciation or similar rights. Except for the existing investments
described on Schedule IX, as of the Effective Date, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries
owns or holds, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or equity security of, or any other Equity
Interests in, any Person other than its Subsidiaries indicated on Schedule VIII.

          8.14. Intellectual Property, etc. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
owns or has the right to use all domestic and foreign patents, trademarks, permits, domain names,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, inventions, trade secrets,
proprietary information and know-how of any type, whether or not written (including, but not
limited to, rights in computer programs and databases) and formulas, or other rights with respect
to the foregoing, and has obtained assignments of all leases, licenses and other rights of whatever
nature, in each case necessary for the conduct of its business, without any known conflict with the
rights of others which, or the failure to obtain which, as the case may be, individually or in the
aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.15. Compliance with Statutes; Agreements, etc. Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i) all applicable statutes, regulations, rules and

-96-

 

orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or
foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property and (ii) all
contracts and agreements to which it is a party, except such non-compliances as have not had, and
could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

          8.16. Environmental Matters. (a) Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
has complied with, and on the date of each Credit Event is in compliance with, all applicable
Environmental Laws and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws and
neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is liable for any material penalties, fines or
forfeitures for failure to comply with any of the foregoing. There are no pending or past or, to
the knowledge of any Senior Officer, threatened Environmental Claims against the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (including any such claim arising out of the ownership, lease or operation by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries). There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real
Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, to the
knowledge of a Senior Officer, any Real Property formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries) or on any property adjoining or in the vicinity of any such Real Property that would
reasonably be expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or any such Real Property or (ii) to cause any such Real Property to be subject
to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law.

          (b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been generated, used, treated or stored on, or
transported to or from, any Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and in connection with the
operation, use and maintenance of such Real Property by the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s
business. Hazardous Materials have not at any time been Released on or from any Real Property
owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or by any person acting for or
under contract to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, by
any other Person in respect of Real Property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries (including, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any Real Property owned, leased or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), except in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws
in all material respects.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.16, the representations made in
this Section 8.16 shall only be untrue if the aggregate effect of all conditions, failures,
noncompliances, Environmental Claims, Hazardous Materials, Releases and presence of underground
storage tanks, in each case of the types described above, has had, or could reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

-97-

 

          8.17. Properties. All Real Property (other than Real Property with an individual Fair
Market Value less than $1,000,000 as of the Effective Date) and vessels owned by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, and all material leaseholds leased by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, in each case as of the Effective Date and after giving effect to the Transaction, and
the nature of the interest therein, is correctly set forth in Schedule V (and, to the extent that
any such Real Property (or any portion thereof) constitutes “Principal Property” (as defined in any
of the Existing Senior Note Indentures), Schedule XVII correctly identifies such Real Property (or
the applicable portion thereof) as “Principal Property”). Each of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or a validly subsisting leasehold interest in, all
material properties owned or leased by it, including all Real Property and vessels reflected in
Schedule XVII and in the financial statements (including the Pro Forma Financial
Statements) referred to in Section 8.10(b) (except (x) such properties sold in the ordinary course
of business since the dates of the respective financial statements referred to therein, (y) such

applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the

individually or in the aggregate, have not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

-107-

 

          (b) Within 5 Business Days after the Borrower is required by applicable law, statute, rule or
regulation, the Borrower shall file (or cause to be filed) with the SEC all reports, financial

Materials to or from any such Real Property, except as required in the ordinary course of business
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as conducted on the Original Effective Date and as allowed by
(and in compliance with) applicable law or regulation and except for any failures to comply with
the requirements specified in clause (i) or (ii) above, which, either individually or in the

undertake, and/or to cause any of its Subsidiaries, tenants or occupants to undertake, at their
sole expense, any clean up, removal, remedial or other action required pursuant to Environmental

Effect.

          (b) At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, which request

periodic review), at any time and from time to time, the Borrower will provide, at its sole cost
and expense, an environmental site assessment report concerning any Real Property now or hereafter
owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, prepared by an environmental

Person for such vessel) in excess of $5,000,000, (ii) such fee-owned (or the equivalent) Real
Property acquired by such Person after the Initial Borrowing Date and having a value (for such
purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by such Person for such Real Property) in excess of

Mortgages, equals or exceeds $20,000,000, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall grant to

this Section 9.11. Furthermore, the Borrower will cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent
such opinions of counsel and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent to assure itself that this Section 9.11 has been complied with.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of following clauses (g) and (h), if at any time any Domestic
Subsidiary of the Borrower is created, established or acquired, such Subsidiary shall be required
to execute and deliver counterparts of the Subsidiaries Guaranty, the Intercompany Subordination
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and such Security Documents as would have been entered into
by the respective Subsidiary if same had been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Initial Borrowing Date,
and in each case shall take all action in connection therewith as would otherwise have been
required to be taken pursuant to Section 6 of the Original Credit Agreement if such Subsidiary had
been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Initial Borrowing Date.

pledge and deliver, or cause to be pledged and delivered, all of the Equity Interests owned by any
Credit Party of each new Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Borrower established or created (and each
Subsidiary of the Borrower which becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary) after the Initial Borrowing
Date to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors pursuant to the Pledge
Agreements, provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.12, in the case of any
Foreign Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a corporation (or treated as such for U.S. tax purposes)
which is owned by a Credit Party, not more than 65% of the total outstanding voting Equity
Interests of such Person shall be required to be pledged in support of

-111-

 

such Credit Party’s obligations (x) as the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or (y) under
its Subsidiaries Guaranty in respect of the Obligations of the Borrower.

any other Credit Party, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (but subject to
the proviso to preceding clause (d), to the extent applicable), (x) grant security interests in
such of their Property (other than Excluded Collateral) as may be requested by the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, in which perfected security interests do not
already exist pursuant to the Security Documents theretofore executed and delivered and, in
connection therewith, the Borrower shall, or shall cause its relevant Subsidiaries which are Credit
Parties to, execute and deliver counterparts of (and thereby become parties to) the applicable
Security Documents and/or Additional Security Documents, in each case in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and/or (y) with respect to pledges of Equity
Interests of, or promissory notes issued by, Persons described in Section 13.17, take such action
(including, without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of
filings, etc.) under the local law of the Person whose Equity Interests or promissory
notes are pledged as may be requested in order to create, preserve, protect or perfect security
interests in such Equity Interests and/or promissory notes.

          (f) The security interests required to be granted pursuant to Sections 9.11(c), (d) and (e)
shall be granted pursuant to the respective Security Documents already executed and delivered by
the Credit Parties (or other security documentation substantially similar to such Security
Documents or otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent) and
shall constitute valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interests prior to the
rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens). The
Borrower shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries), (i) at their own expense, to (x) execute,
acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of, and thereafter
register, file or record in any appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument
reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation,
perfection, maintenance, preservation and protection of the Liens on its assets intended to be
created pursuant to the relevant Security Documents and (y) take all other actions reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, the furnishing of legal opinions)
in connection with the granting of the security interests required pursuant to Sections 9.11(c),
(d) and (e) and (ii) pay in full all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection with the
granting of the security interests required pursuant to Sections 9.11(c), (d) and (e).

          (g) The Borrower agrees that each action required above by Section 9.11(a) or (b) shall be
completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days (or, in the case of actions
relating to assets located outside the United States, such greater number of days (not to exceed
120 days) as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in its sole and absolute discretion in any
given case) after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders. The Borrower further agrees that (x) each action required above by Section 9.11(c), (d)
and (f) with respect to a newly formed, created or acquired Domestic Subsidiary, shall be completed
contemporaneously with the formation, creation or acquisition of such Domestic Subsidiary,
(provided that (x) the Credit Documents required to be executed and delivered pursuant to
Section 9.11(c) by such newly formed, created or acquired Domestic

-112-

 

Subsidiary shall not be required to be so executed and delivered until 45 days after the
formation, creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, (y) in the case of a Shell Corporation
formed, created or established by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such actions shall not
be required to be taken (so long as same remains a Shell Corporation) until 60 days after the
formation, creation or establishment of such Shell Corporation and (z) all actions required to be
taken pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.11(c) and Section 9.11(e) shall be taken as
promptly as practicable, and in any event within 45 days, after the Borrower receives the
respective request from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (c) through (g) above, to
the extent the taking of any action as described above by a new Subsidiary acquired pursuant to a
Permitted Acquisition, which is subject to Permitted Acquired Debt which at such time remains in
existence as permitted by Section 10.04(b)(vi), then to the extent that the terms of the respective
Permitted Acquired Debt prohibit the taking of any actions which would otherwise be required of
such Subsidiary by this Section 9.11, then the time for taking the respective actions (to the
extent prohibited by the terms of the respective Permitted Acquired Debt) shall be extended until
10 Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date of repayment of such Permitted Acquired Debt and
(ii) the first date on which the taking of such actions would not violate the terms of the
respective issue of Permitted Acquired Debt. To the extent the terms of any Permitted Acquired
Debt prohibits the taking of actions otherwise required by this Section 9.11, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall, or shall cause the respective
Subsidiaries of the Borrower to, (x) prepay any such Permitted Acquired Debt which is permitted to
be prepaid and/or (y) use reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or approvals as are needed so
that the taking of the actions otherwise specified in this Section 9.11 would not violate the terms
of the respective issue of Permitted Acquired Debt. Furthermore, to the extent any Subsidiary
which is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition (in
accordance with the limitations contained in the definition thereof), then for so long as such
Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to the extent the Borrower in good faith determines
that the respective Subsidiary is not able, under applicable requirements of law (whether because
of fiduciary duties under applicable law or other requirements of applicable law) to execute and
deliver a Subsidiaries Guaranty or one or more Security Documents, the respective such Subsidiary
shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor or execute and deliver such Security
Documents as otherwise required above.

          (i) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders at any time after the
Initial Borrowing Date determine in their reasonable discretion (whether as a result of a position
taken by an applicable bank regulatory agency or official, or otherwise) that real estate
appraisals satisfying the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34-Subpart C, or any successor
or similar statute, role, regulation, guideline or order (any such appraisal, a “Required
Appraisal”) are or were required to be obtained, or should be obtained, in connection with any
Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, then, within 90 days after receiving written notice
thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, the Borrower
shall cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the expense of the Borrower, to the
Administrative Agent, which Required Appraisal, and the respective appraiser, shall be satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

-113-

 

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 9.11 or elsewhere
in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, no Credit Party shall be required to grant a
security interest in, or Lien on, any Excluded Collateral (so long as the respective Property
constitutes Excluded Collateral), and the value of any Excluded Collateral shall not be taken into
account in making determinations pursuant to the foregoing clauses of this Section 9.11.

          9.12. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
use the proceeds of the Loans for the purposes specified in Section 8.05. The Borrower will not,
nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, use any of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letter
of Credit to finance the acquisition of any Person that has not been approved and recommended by
the board of directors (or functional equivalent thereof) or the requisite shareholders of such
Person.

          9.13. Ownership of Subsidiaries. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, (x) the Borrower shall at all times own directly or indirectly 100% of
the capital stock of the Bermuda Company and (y) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 9.17(a), the Borrower shall at all times own directly or indirectly (through one or more
Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (as opposed to through Foreign Subsidiaries)) all of the capital
stock or other Equity Interests (to the extent owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) of
each Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower.

          (b) The Borrower shall at all times own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the capital stock or
other Equity Interests of its Subsidiaries (except to the extent (v) with respect to Foreign
Subsidiaries, directors’ qualifying shares and other nominal amounts of shares required by
applicable law to be held by Persons (other than directors) are issued from time to time (so long
as the respective Subsidiary continues to constitute a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower),
(w) 100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of any such Subsidiary are sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 10.02, (x) less
than 100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests are acquired in the respective Subsidiary
pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition which meets the criteria specified in the definition of
Permitted Acquisition contained herein, (y) such capital stock or other Equity Interests are
acquired pursuant to an Investment permitted by Sections 10.05(xv) and (xix) or (z) set forth on
Schedule IX).

          9.14. Permitted Acquisitions. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.14 and
the requirements contained in the definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and any of its
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each
case except to the extent the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case
of a specific Permitted Acquisition): (i) no Default, Event of Default or Compliance Period shall
be in existence at the time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or
immediately after giving effect thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative
Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed
Permitted Acquisition; (iii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other
Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though
such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Permitted
Acquisition (both before and after giving effect thereto),

-114-

 

unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and
warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (iv) the
Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as soon as available but
not later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any executed purchase
agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition; (v) after giving effect
to such Permitted Acquisition and the payment of all post-closing purchase price adjustments
required (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) in connection with such Permitted
Acquisition (and all other Permitted Acquisitions for which such purchase price adjustments may be
required to be made) and all capital expenditures (and the financing thereof) reasonably
anticipated by the Borrower to be made in the business acquired pursuant to such Permitted
Acquisition within the 180-day period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a
“Post-Closing Period”) following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired
pursuant to all other Permitted Acquisitions with Post-Closing Periods ended during the
Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), there shall exist no Compliance Period; (vi)
such proposed Permitted Acquisition shall be effected in accordance with the relevant requirements
of Section 9.17; (vii) the Borrower determines in good faith that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole are not likely to assume or become liable for material increased contingent
liabilities as a result of such proposed Permitted Acquisition (excluding, however, Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 in connection therewith); (viii) substantially
all of the Acquired Entity or Business acquired pursuant to the respective Permitted Acquisition is
in a Qualified Jurisdiction, provided, however, the respective proposed Permitted
Acquisition shall not be required to meet the requirements set forth above in this clause (viii) if
the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with such Permitted Acquisition, when
aggregated with the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with all other Permitted
Acquisitions consummated after the Initial Borrowing Date in which all or substantially all of the
Acquired Entity or Business so acquired were not in Qualified Jurisdictions, does not exceed
$300,000,000; and (ix) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date of
the consummation of such proposed Permitted Acquisition, an officer’s certificate executed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of his knowledge, compliance with the
requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and clauses (v) through (viii),
inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the preceding clauses (iii) and (viii).

          (b) At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the creation or acquisition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other Equity Interests of any
Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower), all capital stock or other Equity
Interests thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition shall be
pledged for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as, and to the extent required by, Section 9.11
and the relevant Security Documents.

          (c) The Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary that is formed to effect, or is acquired pursuant
to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and to execute and deliver, all of the documentation
required by, Sections 9.11 and 10.13, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

          (d) The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that the certifications by it (or by one or more of its

-115-

 

respective Authorized Officers) pursuant to Section 9.14 are true and correct and that all
conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections 8 and 11.

          9.15. Maintenance of Company Separateness. The Borrower will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, satisfy customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board
of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting
and the maintenance of Company records. Neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall make
any payment to a creditor of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in respect of any liability of any
Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, and no bank account of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall be commingled
with any bank account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party. Any financial statements
distributed to any creditors of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall clearly establish or indicate
the corporate separateness of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary from the Borrower and its other
Subsidiaries. Finally, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or
conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of the
Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the
assets and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Credit Party being substantively consolidated
with those of any other such Person or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization
or other insolvency proceeding.

          9.16. Performance of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, perform all of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust,
indenture, loan agreement or credit agreement and each other material agreement, contract or
instrument by which it is bound, except such non-performances as, individually or in the aggregate,
have not caused, and could not reasonably be expected to cause, a Default or Event of Default
hereunder or a Material Adverse Effect.

          9.17. Conduct of Business. (a) The Borrower shall take all actions so that, at all
times from and after the Initial Borrowing Date, all the assets of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries located within the United States, all Equity Interests in all Domestic Subsidiaries or
other U.S. Persons and all or substantially all of the business of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries conducted in the United States, are, in each case, owned or conducted, as the case may
be, by the Borrower and one or more Qualified Obligors which are not direct or indirect
Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary of the Borrower which is a Foreign Subsidiary, provided that
if a Foreign Subsidiary (not itself created or established in contemplation of a Permitted
Acquisition) is acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition which Foreign Subsidiary has (either
directly or through one or more Domestic Subsidiaries) assets or operations in the United States,
the Borrower shall have a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer
of U.S. assets and operations (including all Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiaries or other
U.S. Persons held by it) of the respective Foreign Subsidiary to one or more Qualified Obligors,
provided further, that the respective transfer shall not be required to be made if
the Borrower in good faith determines that such transfer would give rise to adverse tax
consequences to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or would give rise to any material breach or
violation of law or contract (in which case, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall transfer such
assets and operations at such time, if any, as such adverse tax consequences or breach or violation
would not exist and, until such time, shall use good faith efforts so that any growth in the assets
or operations of the entity so

-116-

 

acquired, to the extent located in the United States, are made within one or more Qualified
Obligors).

          (b) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 9.17 shall not prohibit the acquisition of, or Investments in, Non-Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries as contemplated by Section 9.13(b), provided that the Equity Interest owned by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, to the extent
organized under the laws of any Qualified Jurisdiction, shall be subject to the requirements of
preceding clause (a).

          9.18. Margin Stock. The Borrower shall take all actions so that at all times the
aggregate value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (for such purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by the Borrower or such
Subsidiary for the respective shares of Margin Stock) shall not exceed $10,000,000. So long as the
aggregate value of Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries (determined as provided in the preceding sentence) does not exceed $10,000,000, all
Margin Stock at any time owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not constitute Collateral
and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant to any Credit Document. Without
excusing any violation of the first sentence of this Section 9.18, if at any time the aggregate
value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(determined as provided in the first sentence of this Section 9.18) exceeds $10,000,000, then (x)
all Margin Stock owned by the Credit Parties (except to the extent constituting Excluded
Collateral) shall be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the relevant Security Documents
and (y) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lenders appropriate completed forms
(including, without limitation, Forms G-3 and U-1, as appropriate) establishing compliance with the
Margin Regulations. If at any time any Margin Stock is required to be pledged as a result of the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, repayments of outstanding Obligations shall be
required to be made, and subsequent Credit Events shall only be permitted, in compliance with the
applicable provisions of the Margin Regulations.

          9.19. Landlords’ Agreements, Mortgagee Agreements, Bailee Letters and Real Estate
Purchases. Each Credit Party shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord’s agreement,
mortgagee agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased property
(including, without limitation, farms), mortgagee of owned property or bailee with respect to any
warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where ABL Priority Collateral with a
book value in excess of $5,000,000 is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall (unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent) contain a waiver or subordination of all
Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against the Collateral at that
location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative
Agent. With respect to such locations or warehouse space leased or owned as of the Initial
Borrowing Date and thereafter, if the Collateral Agent has not received a landlord or mortgagee
agreement or bailee letter as of the Initial Borrowing Date (or, if later, as of the date such
location is acquired or leased), any Eligible Inventory at that location shall, in Administrative
Agent’s reasonable discretion, be subject to such Reserves as may be established by Administrative
Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Each Credit Party shall timely and fully pay and perform its
obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased

-117-

 

location or public warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located except to the extent
that the same are being contested in good faith.

               SECTION 10. Negative Covenants.The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that as of
the Effective Date and thereafter for so long as this Agreement is in effect and until the Total

detract from the value of such property or assets or materially impair the use thereof in

Intercreditor Agreement) and are otherwise permitted to be secured by the definition of
“Permitted Refinancing Senior Notes”;

     (iv) Liens in existence on the Initial Borrowing Date which are listed, and the
property subject thereto described, in Schedule XVIII, but only to the respective date, if
any, set forth in such Schedule XVIII for the removal, replacement and termination of any
such Liens, plus renewals, replacements and extensions of such Liens,
provided that (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness, if any,
secured by such Liens does not increase from that amount outstanding at the time of any such

Agent, as is equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account
of the Borrower and then outstanding; and (vi) apply any cash collateral held by the Administrative
Agent as provided in Section 5.02 to the repayment of the Obligations.

          SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent.

          12.01. Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBNY as
Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12 and Section 13.01, the term “Administrative
Agent” also shall include DBNY in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security
Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed
irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements
referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and
thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative
Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors,
agents, employees or affiliates.

          12.02. Nature of Duties. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit
Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents,
employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused
by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall
be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or
the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any
obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth
herein or therein.

-147-

 

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit
Document, the Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as
such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement
or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being
understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and
reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under
Sections 12.06 and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Lead Arranger shall not, solely
by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender or any other Person.

          12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it
deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making
and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith
and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except
as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of
any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its
possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness,
validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the
terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial
condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any
Default or Event of Default.

          12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent
requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including
failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the
Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining.
Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with
the instructions of the Required Lenders.

          12.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any

-148-

 

other Credit
Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the
Administrative Agent.

          12.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate
thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and
indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective
“percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting
Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be
imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in
performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          12.07. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and
may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified
herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,” “Holders of Notes” or
any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative
Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment
banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services
(including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party
(or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if
they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration
from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

          12.08. Holders. (a) The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note
as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment,
transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case
may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

          (b) Without limiting the provisions of preceding clause (a), the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that any Agent hereunder may also act in individual or agency capacities in connection
with other financings, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Term Credit Documents. The
parties hereto agree to each of the Agents acting in such other individual and agency capacities,
and shall not raise any claim in connection therewith (except to the extent resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the respective such Person as an Agent hereunder).

-149-

 

          12.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may
resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the
other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders
and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 then exists, the Borrower. Any
such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an
Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall
not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans
hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the
case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it,
prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of
a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided
below.

          (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders
shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial
bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be
required if an Event of Default then exists).

          (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15
Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall
not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative
Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the
Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the
Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the
analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative
Agent.

          12.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral
Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby
agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except
as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of
the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other

-150-

 

powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent
is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or
further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action
with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain
perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security
Documents.

          (b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments (and all Letters of Credit) and payment and
satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any
time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to
Persons other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in
compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12), (iv) as
otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s
authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10 or (v)
constituting Equity Interests or assets of any Subsidiary of the Borrower upon the liquidation or
dissolution of such Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by the Credit Documents.

          (c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other
Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for,
protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto
have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 12.10 or in any of the Security
Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission
or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in
its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the
Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders,
except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          12.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to
deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or
other information received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party, any Subsidiary, the
Required Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect
to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the
possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in
accordance with such specific request.

-151-

 

          SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

          13.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower hereby agrees to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are
consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and the
Administrative Agent’s other counsel and consultants) in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the
documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent
relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with its
or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent and,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders in connection
with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and
instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring
of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant
to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants (including, without limitation, any
inventory consultants) for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, counsel for each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders); (ii) pay and hold the Administrative
Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all
present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing
matters and save the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders
harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or
omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or
such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender
and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives,
advisors, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment advisors from and hold each of them harmless
against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses,
damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including
reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed
against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of,
(a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation
or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering
into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of any Letter of
Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other
transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their
rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged
presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or
subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to
any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries,

-152-

 

including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses
to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the
maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which
is permissible under applicable law.

          13.02. Right of Setoff. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender
and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative
Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies
of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the
Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender
or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without
limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and
all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or
any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing
Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations,
liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

          (b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER
OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A
RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN
WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT
(PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA
CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE)
AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL
AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH
CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

-153-

 

SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS
SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
HEREUNDER.

          13.03. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or
cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit
Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit
Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative
Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other
address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and,
as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when
mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when
deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as
the case may be, or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be.

          13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign or
transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign
or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all
purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan
Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee,
assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and,
provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under
which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final
scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not
extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection
with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being
understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to
Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable
hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then
in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory
reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation,
and that an increase in any Revolving Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan
shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not
increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit
Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is
participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not

-154-

 

have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such
Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other
Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding
Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have
terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of
such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more
other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other
Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed
or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of
such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of
this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans,
any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of
any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than
all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning
Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the
Revolving Loan Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding
Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans
and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor
of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each
of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed
modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of
such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the
assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note
pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s
expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or
assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with
appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments
and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and the Syndication
Date has theretofore occurred, the Borrower, shall be required in connection with any such
assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each
such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment
fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment
pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations
hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the
time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender
hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent
legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate

-155-

 

Internal Revenue Service Forms
(and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the
extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and
related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the
time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those
being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and
pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased
costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
assignment).

          (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and
Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the
consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or
any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or
credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent
or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall
release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure
or otherwise) any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party thereto.

          (d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in
accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with
respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections
2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

          13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing
between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other
Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or
remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender
would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any
Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing
Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

          13.06. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of
the Borrower in respect of the Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has

-156-

 

consented in writing
to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based
upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was
received.

          (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s
lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents,
or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans,
Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the
related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such
Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due
to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess
payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in
the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a
proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any
portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which
require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to
Defaulting Lenders.

          13.07. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to
the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently
applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise
disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders), provided that (i) except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations determining the Excess Cash Flow, the Senior
Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio and compliance with Sections 3, 9.14 and 9, including in
each case definitions used therein, shall, in each case, utilize United States accounting
principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those
used to prepare, the historical consolidated audited financial statements of the Borrower delivered
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.10(b) of the Original Credit Agreement for Fiscal Year 2005,
(ii) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and (iii)
for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in
Sections 9 and/or 10, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a
currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as
shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis
as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such
incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar
limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test
regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all
outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be
converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if
same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the

-157-

 

Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any
provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

          (b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to (x) the Prime
Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable and (y) Sterling
LIBOR, which shall be based on a year of 365 days) for the actual number of days (including the
first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing
Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment
Commission or Fees are payable.

          13.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a)
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF

AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY
REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET
FORTH OPPOSITE ITS SIGNATURE BELOW, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH
MAILING. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND
FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED
HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR
INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE
HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

-158-

 

          (b) THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO
THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a)
ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT
ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

          13.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          13.10. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the
“Effective Date”) on which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and
each of the Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different
counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office
or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed
in writing), written or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been
signed and mailed to it. The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Lender prompt
written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

          13.11. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections and subsections of
this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or
construction of any provision of this Agreement.

          13.12. Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination
is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required
Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such
additions), and Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be released from, the Subsidiaries Guaranty and
the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of
the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such
change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a
Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clause (i) or
clause (ix)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated
expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce the rate
or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of

-159-

 

applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal
amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions
in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest
or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of (x) the
Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents
or (y) the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiaries Guaranties, (iii) amend, modify or waive
any provision of this Section 13.12(a) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional
extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional
extensions of credit of the type provided to the Revolving Loan Commitments on the Effective Date),
(iv) reduce the “majority” voting threshold specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it
being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit
pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on
substantially the same basis as the extensions of Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the
Effective Date), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (vi) increase the advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base
over those in effect on the Initial Borrowing Date (it being understood that the establishment,
modification or elimination of Reserves and adjustment, establishment and elimination of criteria
for Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, in each case by Administrative Agent in accordance
with the terms hereof, will not be deemed such an increase in advance rates), (vii) increase the
percentage of the Borrowing Base for which Agent Advances may be made pursuant to Section 2.01(e),
(viii) increase the Total Commitment (other than as contemplated by Section 2.14) or (ix) or
increase the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender; provided further, that no
such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) without the consent of each Issuing Lender,
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 1 or alter its rights or obligations with respect
to Letters of Credit, (2) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, alter the Swingline Lender’s
rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (3) without the consent of the
Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as
same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, or (4) without the consent
of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of
the Collateral Agent.

          (b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any
of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the
first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required
Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting
Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B)
below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the
Borrower, if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all
Tranches of Loans (or related Revolving Loan Commitments), to replace only the Revolving Loan
Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to
obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section
2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan
Commitment) the outstanding Loans of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such
Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the

-160-

 

Letter of Credit of
Outstandings, in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b), provided that, unless the
Revolving Loan Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding
clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the
increase of the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in
each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding
clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall
specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that the Borrower shall not have
the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or repay its Loans solely as
a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by
such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

          13.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in
Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and
termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

          13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for
the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14
would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or
5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay
any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective transfer).

          13.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as
its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the
“Register”) on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of
each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the
principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error
in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With
respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender and the rights
to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitments
shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with
respect to such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The
registration of assignment or Revolving Loan transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan
Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the
acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and
Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of
assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the
assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and
thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the
assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be

-161-

 

imposed on, asserted against or incurred
by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

          13.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section
13.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior
consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another
Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines
that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject
to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with
respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant
to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any
such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a
breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in
any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body
having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or
elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons
or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order,
regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar
agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such
contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 13.16 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection
with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest
therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

          (b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its
affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information
regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

          13.17. Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes
Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties
require that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and capital stock and other
Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered
for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree
that each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant
to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States and
any State thereof to perfect the security interests in the capital stock and other Equity Interests
of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (in
each case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned
by any Credit Party). Except as provided in the

-162-

 

immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any
Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital
stock or other Equity Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other
than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the
Initial Borrowing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of
the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock or
other Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees that,
following any request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to do so, the Borrower
will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, the
execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the delivery of
appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such
actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security
interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions.
If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.17, all such actions shall be taken in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 13.17 and Section 9.12 and within the time periods set forth
therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same
are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but only with respect to
capital stock of, other Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized
under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and any State thereof) not required to be
taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17, provided that to the extent
any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the
respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material
respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of Section 9.12 and this Section 13.17.

          13.18. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower and the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that
will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the
Act.

          13.19. Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:

          (a) UCC Filings; Filings with respect to Intellectual Property; etc. (i) Holdings
and its Subsidiaries were not required to have filed (or cause to have filed) on or prior to the
Initial Borrowing Date Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) or any filings with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office necessary to perfect the security
interest purported to be created by the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, as applicable.
Not later than the fifth day (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent)
after the Initial Borrowing Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall have filed (or cause to have
filed) all of such Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) and any filings with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office

-163-

 

necessary to perfect the security
interest purported to be created by the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, as the case may
be.

          (b) Real Estate. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions
specified in Part A of Schedule XII as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time
periods set forth in Part A of said Schedule XII. The provisions of Part A of said Schedule XII
shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety.

          (c) Cash Management Control Agreements. Within 45 days or such later date the
Administrative Agent agrees to, following the Initial Borrowing Date, (i) the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent and the applicable Collection Banks shall have entered into one or more Cash
Management Control Agreements pursuant to Section 5.03 with respect to each Collection Account
listed on Schedule III, (ii) the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the applicable banks shall have
entered into one or more Cash Management Control Agreements with respect to each other Deposit
Account (other than the Excluded Deposit Accounts) and (iii) the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and
the applicable bank shall have entered into a Cash Management Control Agreement with respect to the
Core Concentration Account.

          (d) Other Actions. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the
actions specified in Parts B and C of Schedule XII as promptly as practicable, and in any event
within the time periods set forth in Parts B and C of said Schedule XII. The provisions of Parts B
and C of said Schedule XII shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set
forth herein in its entirety.

          All conditions precedent and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit
the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above, rather than as
elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents), provided that (x) to the extent any
representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the
Initial Borrowing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and
correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be
taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19 and (y) all
representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true
immediately after the actions required to be taken by Section 13.19 have been taken (or were
required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a
representation, warranty and covenant by the Borrower to each of the Lenders that the actions
required pursuant to this Section 13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time
periods referred to in this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and
correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19, and the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time
periods required above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this
Agreement.

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

AMENDMENT NO. 1

Name

Address

City, State

Dear Name:

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”) to your Change of Control Agreement is entered into effective
(except as explicitly provided below) this xxth day of xx, 200x, between you and Dole Food Company,
Inc. (“Dole”). This Amendment amends the terms of the Change of Control Agreement, dated xxth day
of xx, 200x, between you and Dole (the “Agreement”). Except as explicitly set forth in this
Amendment, the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The capitalized terms used in this
Amendment either are defined in the Agreement or otherwise are defined in the body of this
Amendment.

In consideration of your continued employment with Dole and other good and valuable consideration,
you and Dole agree as follows:

1. Section 4 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the existing clause (b) thereof and
replacing it with the following:

“(b) such release becoming effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, within 90
days after the date of Termination.”

2. The Agreement is hereby amended to add a new section 5 as follows with all subsequent sections
and cross-references renumbered accordingly:

“5. Employee Covenants.

     (a) Unauthorized Disclosure. You shall not, during the term of this Agreement
and thereafter, make any Unauthorized Disclosure. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Unauthorized Disclosure” shall mean:

	 	1)	 	your disclosure (without the prior written consent of
Dole)
	 
	 	2)	 	to any person (other than an employee of Dole or a Dole
subsidiary or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or
appropriate in connection with your performance of your duties as an
employee and/or officer of Dole or a Dole subsidiary)
	 
	 	3)	 	of any confidential information relating to the
business or prospects of Dole (including, but not limited to, any
confidential information with respect to any of Dole’s customers, products,
methods of distribution, strategies, business and marketing plans and
business policies and practices),
	 
	 	4)	 	except (i) to the extent disclosure is or may
be required by law, by a court of law or by any governmental agency or
other person or entity with apparent jurisdiction to require you to
divulge, disclose or make available such information or (ii) in confidence
to an attorney or other advisor for

1

 

the purpose of securing professional advice concerning your personal matters
provided such attorney or other advisor agrees to observe these
confidentiality provisions;

	 	5)	 	provided, however, that Unauthorized Disclosure
shall not include your use or disclosure, without consent, of any
information known generally to the public or known within Dole’s trade or
industry (other than as a result of disclosure by you in violation of this
section 5(a)).

This covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction.

     (b) Conflict of Interest. During the period of your employment with Dole or a
Dole subsidiary, you shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of
Dole:

	 	1)	 	own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by,
consult with or participate in the ownership, management, operation or
control of, or be connected with (as a stockholder, partner, or otherwise),
	 
	 	2)	 	any business, individual, partner, firm, corporation or
other entity that competes, directly or indirectly, with Dole;
	 
	 	3)	 	provided, however, that your “beneficial
ownership” (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
either individually or as a member of a “group” for purposes of Section
13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
of not more than two percent (2%) of the voting stock of any publicly-held
corporation shall not be a violation of this Agreement.

     (c) Non-Solicitation. During the period of your employment with Dole or a Dole
subsidiary and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following immediately thereafter (the
“Restricted Period”), you shall not, either directly or indirectly, alone or in conjunction
with another person:

	 	1)	 	interfere with or harm, or attempt to interfere with or
harm, the relationship of Dole, with any person who at any time was an
employee, consultant, supplier, licensor, licensee, contractor, agent,
strategic partner, distributor or customer of Dole or a subsidiary of Dole
or otherwise had a business relationship with Dole; or
	 
	 	2)	 	solicit, induce or recruit the employment or services
of (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or
independent contractor), except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Dole,
any individual who, at the time of such solicitation, inducement or
recruitment, was an employee, officer, director, or individual serving as
agent, consultant or independent contractor of Dole or a subsidiary of
Dole.

     (d) Remedies.

	 	1)	 	You acknowledge that you have carefully read and
considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the
restraints imposed upon you pursuant to this section 5.

	 	2)	 	You acknowledge that Dole hereby notifies you that each
of these restraints are necessary for the protection of the goodwill,
confidential information, trade secrets and other legitimate interests of
Dole; and you agree that each of these restraints is reasonable in respect
to subject matter, length of time and geographic area, and that these
restraints will

2

 

not prevent you from obtaining other suitable employment during the period
in which you are bound by such restraints.

	 	3)	 	You acknowledge that Dole hereby notifies you that any
breach of the terms of this section 5 would result in irreparable injury
and damage to Dole for which Dole would have no adequate remedy at law; and
you agree that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, Dole
shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction and restraining order to
prevent such breach and/or threatened breach by you and/or any and all
persons and/or entities acting for and/or with you, without having to prove
damages or posting a bond, in addition to any other remedies to which Dole
may be entitled at law or in equity. Should a court or arbitrator
determine, however, that any provision of this section 5 is unreasonable,
either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties
hereto agree that such provision should be interpreted and enforced to the
maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable.
	 
	 	4)	 	The provisions of this section 5 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement or your employment with Dole, and the
existence of any claim or cause of action by you against Dole, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement by Dole of the covenants and agreements of this section
5; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not, in and of itself,
preclude you from defending yourself against the enforceability of the
covenants and agreements of this section 5.”

3. The Agreement is hereby amended to add a new section 17 to the end thereof as follows:

“17. Section 409A Compliance.

     (a) The parties agree that this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the
regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exemption from
Section 409A. The Agreement shall be administered and interpreted so as to avoid a “plan
failure” within the meaning of Code Section 409A. However, no guarantee or commitment is
made that the Agreement shall be administered in accordance with the requirements of Code
Section 409A, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A, or that it shall be
administered in a manner that avoids the application of Code Section 409A, with respect to
amounts that are not subject to Section 409A.

     (b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or
following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from
service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this
Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall
mean “separation from service.” If you are deemed on the date of termination to be a
“specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the
Code, then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit (whether under this
Agreement or otherwise) that is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A payable
on account of a “separation from

3

 

service,” and that is not exempt from Section 409A as involuntary separation pay or a
short-term deferral (or otherwise), such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the
date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from
the date of your “separation from service” or (ii) the date of your death (the “Delay
Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed
pursuant to this section 17(b) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single
sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to you in a
lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or
provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

     (c) With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and
expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A of the Code, all such
payments shall be made on or before the last day of calendar year following the calendar
year in which the expense occurred.

     (d) Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a “separate payment”
within the meaning of Section 409A.”

4. The definition of the term “Good Reason” in Appendix I of the Agreement is hereby amended by
deleting the existing clause (g) thereof and replacing it with the following:

“(g) The failure of Dole or any successor to continue in effect any equity-based or
non-equity based incentive compensation plan (whether annual or long-term) in effect
immediately prior to the Change of Control Date, or a non de minimis reduction, in the
aggregate, in your participation in any such plans (based upon (1) in the case of equity
based plans, the average grant date fair value of your awards under such plans over the
three years preceding the Change of Control Date (or such lesser period following the Dole’s
initial public offering that you were employed by Dole or any successor) or (2) in the case
of non-equity based plans, your target award under such plans for the performance period in
which the Change of Control Date occurs), unless you are afforded the opportunity to
participate in an alternative incentive compensation plan of reasonably equivalent value;
provided that a reduction in the aggregate value of your participation in any such plans of
not more than 5% in connection with across-the-board reductions or modifications affecting
all executives with Change of Control Agreements containing terms substantially identical to
your Agreement shall not constitute Good Reason (all determinations under this clause (g)
shall be made in good faith by the corporate compensation and benefits committee of the
board of directors of Dole or any successor in its sole discretion); or

(h) Any reduction in the aggregate value of benefits provided to you, as in effect on the
Change of Control Date; provided that a reduction in the aggregate value of benefits of not
more than 5% in connection with across-the-board reductions or modifications affecting all
executives with Change of Control Agreements containing terms substantially identical to
your Agreement shall not constitute Good Reason. All determinations under this clause (h)
shall be made in good faith by the corporate compensation and benefits committee of the
board of directors of Dole or any successor in its sole discretion. As used herein,
“benefits” shall include all deferred compensation,

4

 

retirement, pension, health, medical, dental, disability, insurance, automobile, and
similar benefits.”

5. For the avoidance of doubt, you and Dole agree that the consummation of the initial public
offering of the Corporation’s common stock shall not be considered a Change of Control or
Fundamental Transaction for any purpose under the Agreement.

6 Effective as of the second anniversary of the date of this Amendment, Exhibit A to the Agreement
is hereby amended by deleting the third paragraph following clause (h) thereof and replacing it
with the following:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in any plans or agreements of Dole
pursuant to which you were granted options to purchase shares of Dole’s common stock and/or
other equity-based compensation awards, all of your unvested options and/or other
equity-based compensation awards granted pursuant to such plans or agreements (whenever
granted) shall be deemed to vest immediately prior to the first time that one or both of the
following conditions are satisfied: (i) a Change of Control occurs and the acquiring or
surviving company in the transaction does not assume or continue your outstanding awards in
connection with the Change of Control; or (ii) a Qualified Termination occurs, and, in
either case, neither the Board of Directors of Dole nor any committee thereof nor any other
Person shall have any discretion, right or power whatsoever to block, delay or impose any
condition upon such vesting. For the avoidance of doubt and not by way of limitation of the
foregoing, if a Qualified Termination occurs pursuant to the last sentence of section 1(a)
of this Agreement, all of your unvested options and/or other equity-based compensation
awards shall vest hereunder immediately prior to the effectiveness or consummation of the
Fundamental Transaction or the Asset Sale but not at any earlier time.”

7. Section 1 of Exhibit B to the Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new sentence to
the end thereof:

“Any Gross-Up Payment or other payment payable under this Exhibit B shall be paid to you
promptly and in no event later than the end of the first quarter of the calendar year next
following the calendar year in which the related tax is paid by you.”

Please indicate your acceptance of and agreement to the terms of this Amendment by signing and
dating below, where indicated, and returning a signed copy to us.

Sincerely,

DOLE FOOD COMPANY, INC.
