(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving
credit loans (“Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an
aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Extensions of Credit exceeding
such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the Total Extensions of Credit exceeding the Available Amount.
During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the
Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and
notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.7.

(b) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender the then unpaid amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the
Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested
Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such notice of a borrowing of
ABR Loans to finance payments required by Section 3.4 may be given not later than 12:00
P.M., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing). Each such notice of a Borrowing
(a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing, or by telephone, confirmed promptly in
writing, or telex, telecopier or other electronic communication and shall specify: (i) the amount
and Type of Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of
the initial Interest Period therefor. Each Loan shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of
ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then Available
Amount is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans,
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; with the exception of Loans the
proceeds of which are or will be used to pay or prepay in full all outstanding L/C Obligations.
Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior
to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to
the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such
office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders
and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Applicable Commitment Fees, Etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee which shall accrue at the rate specified for the Commitment Fee set forth in the
table in the definition of “Applicable Margin” on the daily amount of the unused Commitment of such
Lender during the period from and including Closing Date but excluding the date on which such
Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the unused Commitment, the face amount of
any issued and outstanding Letter of Credit shall count as usage only with respect to the Lender
that issued such Letter of Credit.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the
dates as set forth in the Fee Letter or any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to
perform any other obligations contained therein.

2.4 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon
not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the
Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that
no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto
and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Extensions of
Credit would exceed the Available Amount. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to
$500,000, or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the
Commitments then in effect.

2.5 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to
the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days
prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time,
one (1) Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date
and amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of
Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day
other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with
accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of the Loans shall be in
an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

2.6 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) In the event and on each occasion that the Total Extensions of Credit exceed the Available
Amount, the Borrower shall immediately repay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(b) In addition, any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be
accompanied by prepayment of the Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Extensions of Credit
exceed the amount of the Total Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate
principal amount of Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because L/C
Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such
excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral
account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and
conditions satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The application of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.6 shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each
prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.6 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

2.7 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed Conversion date, provided,
that if a Eurodollar Loan is Converted on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.
The Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F of
such election no later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the
proposed Conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period
therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be Converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest
Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be
applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the
Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations,
and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice
as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the
preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically Converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such
then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.8 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all
selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so
that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans
comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be in conformity with Section 2.2 and (b) no more
than three (3) Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.9 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable
Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all
outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable
thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of
Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion
of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other
amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i)
and (ii) above, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount is paid in full (as well
after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to
time on demand.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on
which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the
actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan
resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective
as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver
to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.10(a).

2.11 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest
Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the
Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or
maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period;

(c) then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the
Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any
Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR
Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to
Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be
Converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice
has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or
continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to Convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

2.12 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on
account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made on
a pro rata basis according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Loans, except with respect to a reimbursement of the Letters of Credit, shall be
made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by
the Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, as applicable, at the Funding Office,
in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such
payments to each Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing
by such Lender pursuant to Section 10.5. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on
the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes
due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment
into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing
Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent
shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum
applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a
corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(f) This Section 2.12 is subject to Section 3.9 in all respects.

2.13 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection
Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made
by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

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

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

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

2.14 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “Lender”
includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any
Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good
faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any
Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be
entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax
is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that
after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of
Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the
applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative
Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and
(iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(g)(ii)(A),
2.14(g)(ii)(B) and 2.14(g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower
is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to
do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable
payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code,
or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
(a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or
Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to
do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S.
federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were
to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time
or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with
such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct
and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause
(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
Closing Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do
so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.14 with
respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of
such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this
paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph
(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party
in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or
otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to
make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.15 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each
Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
(a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, Conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from
Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last
day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17. Such indemnification may include an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest
Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would
have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)
over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued
to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant
to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.13, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the
future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.17 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.14, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a
different lending office in accordance with Section 2.16, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section
10.6), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments made pursuant to
Sections 2.13 and 2.14) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) such assignee shall meet the
requirements to be an assignee under Section 10.6(b)(ii) (subject to such consents, if any,
as may be required under Section 10.6(b)(i), (b) the Borrower shall have paid to the
Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.6(b)(ii)(B), (c) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (d) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments thereafter, (e) such assignment shall not conflict with applicable law, and (f) in the
case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable
assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Each Lender agrees
that if the Borrowers exercise their option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender, such
Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all
documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.06.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that a Lender does not comply with
the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one (1) Business Day after receipt of
such notice, such assignment shall be deemed to have occurred on such Business Day without such
Lender’s execution and delivery of any documentation required pursuant to Section 10.06.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.18 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of Super Majority Lenders and
Required Lenders and the last sentence of Section 10.1.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or
received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.7(b) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata
in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with
respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Lenders or the Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as
a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is
a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to
being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all
Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting
Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed
paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any
commitment fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of
the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business
Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof),
and in such event the provisions of Section 2.18(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts
thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement
(whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided
that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall
not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(c) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent
will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of
outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE 3 :

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of
credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender;
provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if,
after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or
(ii) the Total Extensions of Credit exceed the Available Amount. Each Letter of Credit shall (1)
be denominated in Dollars and (2) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of
its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date;
provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof
for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in
clause (y) above).

(b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if
such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any
applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time
request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the
Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will
process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered
to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue
the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to
issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the
Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information
relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as
otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall
furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof.
The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly
furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount
thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fee on the face amount
of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in
effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date
after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fee, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender
for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender
in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.

3.4 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter
of Credit, the Borrower, whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of the Loans, shall
reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees,
charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment,
not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives
notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following
the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing
Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds.
Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid
until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date
of the relevant notice, Section 2.9(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.9(c).
Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2 that such
payment be financed with an ABR Loan, and to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to
make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loan. The amount of any
such ABR Loans made in connection with the foregoing shall reduce the Letter of Credit Reserve on a
dollar for dollar basis.

3.5 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article 3
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff
counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or has had against the Issuing
Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with
the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.4 shall not be affected by, among other things,
the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents
shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the
Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit or any such Transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice,
however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found
by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or
the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the
Borrower.

3.6 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount
thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft
presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents
(including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment
are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.7 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any
Letter of Credit (i) is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article 3 or (ii) purports
to add defaults or events of default or provide for the grant of security not contemplated by this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall apply.

3.8 Cash Collateralization Upon Termination of Commitments. In the event that the
Borrower terminates the Commitments pursuant Section 2.4 and there are outstanding Letters
of Credit at such time, the Borrower shall pledge to, and deposit in an account with, the Issuing
Lender an amount of Cash Collateral equal to 103% of the L/C Obligations of such Letters of Credit
to be held as security for payment of the Borrower’s obligations to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for amounts drawn on such Letters of Credit.

3.9 Only Issuing Bank Responsible for Letters of Credit

. Notwithstanding Section 2.12, it is recognized that the Issuing Bank is the sole
Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued hereunder and, prior to the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default and the realization by the Administrative Agent on any
Collateral, no other Lender shall participate in, be liable for, or receive any repayments in
respect of, any Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, any draws on said Letters of Credit
or any reimbursements by Borrower in respect thereof, provided however, if an Event of Default
occurs which results in the Administrative Agent taking steps to realize on any Collateral (other
than any cash collateral accounts for Letters of Credit as described in Section 3.8), and
the Administrative Agent receives the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any
Collateral, whether before or after the filing of any proceeding by or against the Borrower under
the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of Section 2.12 shall, at such time, be applicable and
shall take precedence over this Section 3.9 and the proceeds of any such sale or
disposition shall be distributed to all of the Lenders, pro rata, including, without limitation, to
the Issuing Lender in respect of Letters of Credit, all as contemplated in Section 2.12,
regardless of the provisions set forth in this Section 3.9.

ARTICLE 4 :

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans and issue the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Statements. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholder equity
and cash flows (a) as of and for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013,
respectively, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from a Borrower’s Accounting
Firm, and (b) as of and for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2013, which financial statements
present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at each
such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated and consolidating
cash flows for the respective fiscal periods then ended. All such financial statements, including
the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of
accountants and disclosed therein). As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has no Guarantee
Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual
forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange
transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most
recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph (other than those that would not be
required to be reflected in such financial statements or those that are immaterial).

4.2 No Material Adverse Change. Since January 31, 2013, there has been no development
or event with respect to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries that has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period from January 31, 2013 to and
including the Closing Date there has been no Disposition by the Borrower of any material part of
its business or property other than as would be permitted under Section 7.4.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the
power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, and to conduct the
business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other
organization and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease
or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the
extent that the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law and all Contractual
Obligations, in each case, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party
has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the
borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing
with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is
required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i)
consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents,
authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and
(ii) the filing of UCC financing statements or similar instruments after the date hereof in order
to maintain the continuing perfection of the Liens created by the Security Documents under United
States law. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party
party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable
against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement
is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the
Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its
properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation, other
than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent as contemplated in this Agreement.

4.6 Adverse Proceedings. There are no Adverse Proceedings (a) on the Closing Date,
with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, or (b) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. The Borrower has title in fee simple to, or a valid
leasehold interest in, all its real property material to its business, and good title to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its other property material to its business, and none of such
property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9 Intellectual Property. The Loan Parties own, or possess the right to use, all
Intellectual Property that the Loan Parties consider reasonably necessary for the conduct of their
respective businesses as currently conducted without any infringement upon the rights of any other
Person, except where the failure to have such rights or where such infringement would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Borrower, the use of Intellectual Property by each
Loan Party does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any manner that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing
is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.11, all federal tax
returns, and all other tax returns and reports of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries required to be
filed by any of them and that are material have been timely filed (including extensions), and all
taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all assessments, fees and other
governmental charges upon the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties,
assets, income, businesses and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and
payable. The Borrower knows of no proposed tax assessment against it or any of its Subsidiaries
that is material and is not being actively contested by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP
have been provided on the books of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be; and as
of the Closing Date no tax Lien has been filed, and to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim has
been asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other
extensions of credit hereunder, will be used, directly or indirectly, (a) for “purchasing” or
“carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under
Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the
provisions of Regulation U or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation U.

4.12 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against the
Borrower pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment
made to employees of the Borrower have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any
other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) Borrower has paid or
properly accrued in the ordinary course of business all wages and compensation due to employees,
including all vacations or vacation pay, holidays or holiday pay, sick days or sick pay or bonuses.

4.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to meet the minimum funding
standards (within the meaning of Section 412 or 430 of the Code or Section 302 or 303 of ERISA) has
occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or
deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has
occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period,
which has not been fully satisfied, settled or dismissed as of the date this representation is made
or deemed made. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based
on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior
to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of
such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any
ERISA Affiliate has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has
resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if
the Borrower or any such ERISA Affiliate were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans
as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or
deemed made. No Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is
subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that
limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

4.15 Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.15 sets forth the name of, and the ownership
interest of the Borrower in, each Subsidiary as of the Closing Date.

4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be
used to pay off the Existing Credit Facility and to finance the working capital needs and for
general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No part of the proceeds of any
Loan has been used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any
of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X. Letters of Credit have been
issued only to support the working capital needs and general corporate obligations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries relating to their respective lines of business as currently conducted.

4.17 Environmental Matters. There are no Adverse Proceedings regarding any Hazardous
Material Activity or compliance with Environmental Laws that, individually or in the aggregate
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries nor any of their respective facilities or operations is subject to any outstanding
written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental
Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are and, to each
of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or
Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an
Environmental Claim against the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment
of Hazardous Materials at any facility in violation of any Environmental Law where such violation
is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Borrower’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of
hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent, except in the
ordinary course of its business in material compliance with all Environmental Laws. Compliance with
all current or proposed requirements of Environmental Laws would not be reasonably expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has
occurred or is occurring with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries relating to any
Environmental Law, any Release or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the
aggregate has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.18 Accuracy of Information, Etc.. No statement or information contained in this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or
on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole with
all other documents, certificates or statements furnished prior to or contemporaneously therewith,
contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificates was so furnished any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading; provided that with respect to the
projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above the
Borrower represents only that such information was based upon good faith estimates and assumptions
believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by
the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as
fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may
differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. The Borrower has no
knowledge of any matter or occurrence that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, or in any other
documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for
use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

4.19 Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the Loan Documents and
to the incurrence of all Obligations being incurred in connection herewith on the Closing Date and
on any date on which this representation and warranty is made, will be, Solvent.

4.20 Employee Benefit Plans. The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their
respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of
ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to
each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit
Plan, except where such non-compliance or non-performance would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code has received (or has applied for within a timely manner) a favorable
determination letter or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such
Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such
determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status that
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No liability to the PBGC
(other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or
any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by
the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates except to the extent
reflected on the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the notes thereto.
No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code
or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the
purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate
benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the
Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, (determined as of the end of
the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes
in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current
value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each
Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from
such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such
potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information
available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and each of
their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to
each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of
ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.21 USA PATRIOT Act.

(a) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any
of its Affiliates over which any of the foregoing exercises management control (each, a
“Controlled Affiliate”) is a Prohibited Person, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, and, to
the knowledge of the Borrower, such Controlled Affiliates, are in compliance with all applicable
orders, rules and regulations of OFAC.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any
of its Affiliates: (i) is targeted by United States or multilateral economic or trade sanctions
currently in force; (ii) is owned or controlled by, or acts on behalf of, any Person that is
targeted by United States or multilateral economic or trade sanctions currently in force; (iii) is
a Prohibited Person; or (iv) is named, identified or described on any list of Persons with whom
U.S. Persons may not conduct business, including any such blocked persons list, designated
nationals list, denied persons list, entity list, disbarred party list, unverified list, sanctions
list or other such lists published or maintained by the United States, including OFAC, the United
States Department of Commerce or the United States Department of State.

4.22 Embargoed Person.

(a) None of Borrower’s assets constitutes property of, or is beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by any Person targeted by economic or trade sanctions under U.S. law, including but not
limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading
With the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq. (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”), any of the
foreign assets control regulations of the Treasury (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended)
(the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or regulations
promulgated thereunder or executive order relating thereto (which includes, without limitation, (i)
Executive Order No. 13224, effective as of September 24, 2001, and relating to Blocking Property
and Prohibiting Transaction With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66
Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (ii) the USA PATRIOT Act, if the result
of such ownership would be that any Loan made by any Lender would be in violation of law
(“Embargoed Person”);

(b) No Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in the Borrower if the
result of such interest would be that any Loan would be in violation of law;

(c) The Borrower has not engaged in business with Embargoed Persons if the result of such
business would be that any Loan made by any Lender would be in violation of law; and

(d) Neither the Borrower nor any Controlled Affiliate (i) is or will become a “blocked person”
as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control
Regulations or (ii) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise
associated, with any such “blocked person”.

For purposes of determining whether or not a representation is true or a covenant is being complied
with under this Section 4.22, the Borrower shall not be required to make any investigation
into (i) the ownership of publicly traded stock or other publicly traded securities or (ii) the
beneficial owner of any collective investment fund.

4.23 Insurance. Schedule 4.23 lists all policies or binders of fire,
liability, worker’s compensation, vehicular or other insurance held by or for the benefit of the
Borrower (specifying the insurer, the policy number or covering note number with respect to
binders) as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance
have been paid. As of the Closing Date, all insurance listed on Schedule 4.23 is in full
force and effect.

ARTICLE 5 :

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

5.1 Conditions to Initial Extension of Credit. The agreement of each Lender to make
the initial extension of credit requested to be made by it is subject to the satisfaction, prior to
or concurrently with the making of such extension of credit on the Closing Date, of the following

ARTICLE 9 :

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for (i)
any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found
by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) not performing any act or
fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of Administrative Agent (including but not limited
to any act or provision of any present or future Law or regulation or Governmental Authority, any
act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism,
or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication
facility) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any
failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan
Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or refusing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from a Lender, or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event
of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that
may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

9.7 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Loan Party as though such Administrative Agent were not an Administrative Agent. With
respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by it,
the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative
Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent
in its individual capacity.

9.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the
Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Article 8(a) or
Article 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject
to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon
such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is
thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders
shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

ARTICLE 10 :

supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the
case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to
their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or
Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
thereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that no such amendment,
waiver or consent shall increase or extend the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, forgive any
portion of or reduce the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any
Loan, or reduce the stated amount of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in
connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which
waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Super Majority Lenders) and (y) that any
amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall
not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this paragraph), in each
case, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall

10.5 Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided herein, the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any
amendments, modification or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and
(iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender), in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with
the Loans or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each Related Party of
any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses of any Indemnitee, including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and
disbursements (limited to no more than one firm as counsel to such Indemnitees, taken as a whole,
one firm of local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, one firm of specialty counsel, if
applicable, and, in the event of any perceived or actual conflict of interest, an additional firm
of counsel for any similarly affected persons), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than such
Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit
if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit), (iii) any Release or any actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Claim related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are found by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of the obligations
of such Indemnitee thereof hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan
Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.5(b) shall not apply with respect to any
Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

Reimbursement by the Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
Issuing Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party,
as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount
(including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender);
provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other
party hereto or any Indemnitee thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that a claim for indemnity under Section 10.5(b) above, to the extent
covered thereby, is a claim of direct or actual damages. No Indemnitee referred to in
paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not
later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

(e) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i)
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (other
than as permitted under this Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

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

(A) the Borrower, provided that (1) no consent of the Borrower
shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender,
an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any other Person; and (2) the Borrower shall be deemed to
have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after
having received written notice thereof; and

(B) the Administrative Agent.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the
Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $5,000,000 unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such
amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or
Approved Funds, if any;

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

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee
designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level
information (which may contain material non-public information about the
Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties) will be made
available and who may receive such information in accordance with the
assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and
state securities laws; and

(D) no assignment shall be made to (1) a natural Person, (2) the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (3) any Defaulting
Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this
clause (3).

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other
than a natural person) that is or will be engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in
commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that
is administered or managed by (i) a Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender or (iii) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14,
2.15 and 10.5 with respect to the period during which it was a Lender). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as
a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and
L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire
(unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register; provided that, if either the assigning Lender or the Assignee shall have
failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.12(d),
0 or 10.7(a), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and
until such payment shall have been made in full, together with interest thereon. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than any Person described in paragraph (b)(ii)(D) of
this Section) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (A) requires the
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of
Section 10.1 and (B) directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13,
2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the
requirements under Section 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section; provided that such Participant (1) agrees to be subject to the provisions
of Section 2.16 and 2.17 as if it were an Assignee and (2) shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.14, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurred
after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a
participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit
or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the
owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.7 Adjustments; Setoff.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other Loan Document or a court order
expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any
Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations
owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Article 8(f), or otherwise),
in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if
any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the
Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits
of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and
benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable
by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the
payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, Indebtedness or claims,
in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any of their
respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made
by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page
of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set
forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the nonexclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and
appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address
of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.

10.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or
fiduciary duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand,
and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor
and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the
Lenders.

10.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of
notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) and agrees
to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Guarantee
Agreement, any pledge of any Capital Stock created by the Security Documents, or any other Lien on
any Collateral created by the Security Documents (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation
of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance
with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under
the Loan Documents (other than obligations under or with respect to Specified Swap Agreements,
Specified Cash Management Agreements and unasserted indemnity, tax gross-up, increased cost,
expense reimbursement claims) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated
and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Security Documents and all obligations (other
than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan
Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or
performance of any act by any Person, except that the Administrative Agent agrees upon such
termination to promptly deliver to Borrower all Collateral in its possession and all such UCC-3
terminations, discharges and other releases and termination documents as are reasonably requested
by the Borrower to discharge the Liens as a matter of public record.

10.15 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.15 shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by
such Lender.

10.16 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to keep
confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider
thereof as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other
Lender or any Affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this
Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap
Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors,
agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates,
(d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any
court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement
of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar
proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires
access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with
respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Document.

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its
Affiliates and their Related Parties and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material
non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including United
States federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties. Accordingly, each
Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its
administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material

been in effect, (iii) the Excluded Equity Interests, (iv) any assets of any Debtor that are the
subject of a Capital Lease or securing purchase money Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under
Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement if the contractual obligation pursuant to which such Lien is

written request of (and at the sole cost and expense of) the Borrower, promptly execute and
deliver to the Borrower such UCC termination statements and such other documentation as the
Borrower may reasonably request to effect the termination and release of the Liens on such
Collateral.

2.04 Security Interest Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Liens created hereby, and the
obligations of the Debtors under this Agreement are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and

discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever (other
than termination pursuant to Section 2.02 or partial release pursuant to Section
2.03), including:

(a) any renewal, extension, amendment, or modification of, or addition or supplement to
or deletion from, any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or agreement referred to

(b) any waiver of, consent to or departure from, extension, indulgence or other action
or inaction under or in respect of any of the Secured Obligations, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or other instrument or agreement relating thereto, or any exercise or
non-exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Secured
Obligations, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any such other instrument or
agreement relating thereto;

(c) any furnishing of any additional security for the Secured Obligations or any part
thereof to the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any acceptance thereof by the
Administrative Agent or any other Person or any substitution, sale, exchange, release,
surrender or realization of or upon any such security by the Administrative Agent or any
other person or the failure to create, preserve, validate, perfect or protect any other Lien
granted to, or purported to be granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any

extension of additional credit or otherwise; or

(g) any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor, it being the intent of this

irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

2.05 Limit of Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the security interest
granted by each Debtor hereunder shall be limited to the extent necessary so that its obligations
hereunder would not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

2.06 Reinstatement. This Agreement and the Liens created hereunder shall
automatically be reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf
of any Debtor in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by
any holder of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any fraudulent conveyance,

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

In furtherance of the grant of the Security Interests pursuant to Article II, each
Debtor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent as follows:

5.01 Access to Records; Inspection of Collateral .

(a) Each Debtor shall (i) permit representatives of the Administrative Agent to inspect
the Collateral and Records and make copies of the Records as provided in Section 6.6 of the
Credit Agreement and (ii) forward to the Administrative Agent copies of any notices or
communications received by such Debtor relevant to the validity, perfection or priority of
Administrative Agent’s Security Interests in the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of any Event of Default, at the Administrative Agent’s request, each Debtor
shall promptly deliver copies of any and all such Records to the Administrative Agent.

5.02 Other Financing Statements and Liens. Each Debtor shall keep the Collateral in
good order and repair and will not use the same in violation of law (except as would be permitted
pursuant to Section 6.4(b) of the Credit Agreement) or any policy of insurance thereon. Without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and except with respect to Permitted Liens,
no Debtor shall file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file,
in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in
which the Administrative Agent is not named as the sole secured party for the benefit of the
Secured Parties.

5.03 Reports. Each Debtor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to
time as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail; provided, however,
absent the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Debtors shall only be required to
deliver such information concurrently with the delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate.
Promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent, following receipt by the Administrative Agent
of any reports pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent revised Annexes to include any assets that would be required to be
included in such Annexes and that have become part of the Collateral under this Agreement.

5.04 Adverse Claims. Each Debtor shall defend, all at its own expense, such Debtor’s
title and the existence, perfection and first priority of the Administrative Agent’s security

Agreement, no Debtor shall change (i) its name, identity, corporate structure or the jurisdiction
under which it is organized, (ii) its chief executive office or chief place of business or

information and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the
validity, perfection and priority of the security interest provided for herein and, if requested
by the Administrative Agent upon the direction of the Required Lenders, delivered an opinion of
counsel with respect thereto in accordance with Section 5.06 . Each Debtor agrees that it
will not in any event change the location of any Collateral owned by it if such change would cause
the Security Interest in such Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected under United States
law. Each Debtor agrees to promptly provide the Administrative Agent with certified
organizational documents reflecting, if applicable, any of the changes described in this
Section 5.05.

5.06 Opinion of Counsel

. If requested by the Administrative Agent upon the direction of the Required Lenders, at
least 20 days before it takes any action contemplated by Section 5.05(i), a Debtor shall,
at its expense, cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an opinion of counsel, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to the effect that all
financing statements and amendments or supplements thereto, continuation statements and other
documents required to be recorded or filed in order to maintain the perfection of the Security
Interests after the taking of such action against all creditors of and purchasers from such Debtor
(except any continuation statements specified in such opinion of counsel that are to be filed more
than six months after the date thereof) have been filed in each filing office necessary for such
purpose and that all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings have
been paid in full.

5.07 Collateral Held by Others

. If any of its Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman,
bailee or agent, other than Permitted Third Party Possession, each Debtor shall notify such
warehouseman, bailee or agent of the Security Interests and instruct it to hold all such
Collateral for the Administrative Agent’s account subject to the Administrative Agent’s
instructions (which shall permit such Collateral to be removed by such Debtor in the ordinary
course of business until the Administrative Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or agent that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Each Debtor shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain a bailee letter and/or landlord lien waiver, as applicable, from all
such bailees and landlords, as applicable, who from time to time have possession of Collateral,
other than Permitted Third Party Possession, in the ordinary course of such Debtor’s business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall not be required to take any action under this
Section 5.07with respect to (i) any Inventory in-transit to the applicable purchaser or
lessee thereof or (ii) to any Inventory or Equipment in-transit to the applicable manufacturer
thereof for repair or maintenance.

5.08 Records. Each Debtor shall keep accurate Records and, if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, shall stamp or otherwise mark such Records in such manner
as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to reflect the Security Interest.

to cause to be collected from its account debtors, as and when due, any and all amounts owing
under or on account of each of its Accounts (including Accounts that are delinquent, such Accounts
to be collected in accordance with lawful collection procedures) and shall apply forthwith upon
receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Accounts.
The costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) of collection, whether incurred by a Debtor or
the Administrative Agent, shall be borne by such Debtor.

5.10 Disposition of Collateral. No Debtor shall sell, offer to sell, lease,
exchange, convey, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, restrict or
grant, create, permit or suffer to exist any Lien on, any of its Collateral except as permitted by
the Credit Agreement.

5.11 Protection of Intellectual Property. Each Debtor shall timely pay all fees
(including maintenance fees), file all documents or declarations (including applications,
applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability) and take all other
action necessary to obtain, maintain and renew each Patent and Trademark included in the
Collateral that is material to the use and operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole). Each
Debtor shall notify the Administrative Agent at the end of each calendar quarter if it knows that
any application or registration relating to any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by it and
that is material to the use and operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole) may become
abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution
of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or any court) regarding such Debtor’s ownership of such Intellectual Property,
its right to register or patent the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same. If any
Debtor’s rights to any Intellectual Property that is material to the use and operation of the
Collateral (taken as a whole) are infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such
Debtor shall notify the Administrative Agent at the end of such calendar quarter in which Debtor
learned of such infringement, misappropriation or dilution and shall take all actions as such
Debtor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual
Property.

5.12 Special Provisions Relating to Certain Collateral.

(a) Contracts.

(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Debtor shall remain liable to
perform all of its duties and obligations under each of the Contracts included in the
Collateral to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed. The exercise by
the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any of the rights and remedies
hereunder shall not release any Debtor from any of its duties or obligations under the
Contracts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any
duty, obligation or liability under such Contracts included in the Collateral or otherwise
in respect of the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or be obligated to perform any of
the obligations or duties of any Debtor under the Contracts or otherwise in respect of the
Collateral or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment or any other
right assigned hereunder.

(ii) During the continuance of an Event of Default, if Debtor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein or in any of the Contracts, the Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement, and
the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by or on behalf of Debtors and shall be Secured Obligations to
the Administrative Agent.

(b) Intellectual Property.

(i) For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under Article VI at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Debtor hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Debtor) to use, license or
sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Debtor,
wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media
in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, such license shall only be
effective during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the
provisions of the Credit Agreement that limit the rights of the Debtors to dispose of their
property, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Debtor
will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell,
dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary
course of the business of such Debtor. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to
time, upon the request of any Debtor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or
other documents, in the form so requested, that such Debtor shall have certified are
appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including
relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to clause (i) immediately above as to any
specific Intellectual Property). Further, upon satisfaction of the conditions to
termination of this Agreement described in Section 2.02 or the partial release of
any Intellectual Property pursuant to Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall
terminate the license granted pursuant to clause (i) immediately above. The exercise of
rights and remedies under Article VI by the Administrative Agent shall not terminate
the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by any Debtor
in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (ii).

(iii) On a continuing basis, each Debtor shall, at its sole cost and expense:

(A) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the
Administrative Agent of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the
institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or
administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or
the United States Copyright Office regarding (i) such Debtor’s claim of
ownership or right to use any of the Intellectual Property that is material
to the use and operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole), (ii) such
Debtor’s right to register such Intellectual Property or (iii) such Debtor’s
right to keep and maintain such registration in full force and effect;

(B) maintain and protect the Intellectual Property material to the use
and operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole);

(C) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Intellectual Property
material to the use and operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole), and
not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative
proceeding with respect to such Intellectual Property, in each case except
as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment;

(D) upon such Debtor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of any event which is reasonably expected to
materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any of the
Intellectual Property or any portion thereof that is material to the use and
operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole) as presently used and
operated and as contemplated by the Credit Agreement or the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent in relation thereto including a levy or
threat of levy or any legal process against the Intellectual Property
Collateral or any portion thereof;

(E) not license any Intellectual Property material to the use and
operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole) or amend or permit the
amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that could materially impair
the value of any Intellectual Property material to the use and operation of
the Collateral (taken as a whole) or the Lien on and security interest in
the Intellectual Property crated therein hereby, without the consent of the
Administrative Agent; and

(F) diligently keep adequate records respecting its Intellectual
Property material to the use and operation of the Collateral (taken as a
whole); and

(G) furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable request therefor reasonably detailed
statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the
Intellectual Property material to the use and operation of the Collateral
(taken as a whole) and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining
to the Intellectual Property as Administrative Agent may from time to time
reasonably request.

(iv) If any Debtor shall at any time after the date hereof (a) obtain any rights to any
additional Intellectual Property or (b) become entitled to the benefit of any additional
Intellectual Property or any registration, renewal or extension thereof, including any
reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property
Collateral, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case that is
material to the use and operation of the Collateral (taken as a whole), the provisions
hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in clause (a) or (b)
of this Section 5.12(b)(iv) with respect to such Debtor shall automatically constitute
Collateral as if such would have constituted Collateral at the time of execution hereof and
be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further
action by any party. Each Debtor shall promptly with the delivery of its quarterly
financial statements (i) provide to the Administrative Agent written notice of any of the
foregoing and (ii) confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this
Agreement to any rights described in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding
sentence by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to
create, preserve, protect or perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such
Intellectual Property in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof. Further, each Debtor
authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Annex 2 and
Annex 4 hereof to include any such Intellectual Property of such Debtor.

(v) Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, each Debtor shall
have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its
own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Debtors, such applications for
protection of the Intellectual Property and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent
the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution
in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of
the Intellectual Property and/or bring suit in the name of any Debtor or the Administrative
Agent to enforce the Intellectual Property. In the event of such suit, each Debtor shall,
at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, do any and all lawful acts and
execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in aid of
such enforcement and the Debtors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Administrative
Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in the
exercise of its rights under this Section 5.12(b)(v). In the event that the
Administrative Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property as
permitted by this Section 5.12(b)(v) and an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, each Debtor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, to
take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other
action, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition,
dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property by
others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any suit, proceeding or other
action against any person so infringing as necessary to prevent such infringement.

(c) Deposit Accounts. No Debtor shall hereafter establish and maintain any
Deposit Account (other than the Excluded Deposit Accounts) unless (i) the applicable Debtor
shall have given the Administrative Agent ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of
its intention to establish such new Deposit Account and (ii) if requested by the
Administrative Agent or upon the direction of the Required Lenders, such financial
institution and such Debtor shall have duly executed and delivered to the Administrative
Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account. No Debtor
shall grant Control of any Deposit Account to any person other than the Administrative
Agent.

(d) Letters of Credit. If any Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a
Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Debtor having a stated amount in
excess of $100,000 and a remaining term of at least three months, such Debtor shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent thereof and such Debtor shall, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) arranging for
the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the
Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii)
arranging for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any
drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

(e) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a
commercial tort claim in an amount estimated to exceed $250,000, such Debtor shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such Debtor of the brief details
thereof and grant to the Administrative Agent in such writing a security interest therein
and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Securities Collateral.

(i) No Debtor shall take any action that would result in (A) the revocation of any
election to treat any Securities Collateral as certificated securities, and (B) an election
to treat as certificated securities any Securities Collateral that constitute uncertificated
securities.

(ii) So long as Administrative Agent has not exercised remedies with respect to the
Collateral under this Agreement or any other Loan Document upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, Debtors reserve and have the right (A) to exercise
all voting and other rights, title and interest with respect to the Collateral (except as
limited by the Loan Documents) and (B) to receive all income, gains, profits, dividends and
other distributions or payments from the Collateral whether non-cash dividends, cash,
options, warrants, stock splits, reclassifications, rights, instruments or other investment
property or other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such rights and interests (except
as limited by the Loan Documents); provided that no vote shall be cast, right
exercised or other action taken, in each case, in favor of an action that is in violation of
the covenants contained in the Loan Documents, and provided further, that any
receipts described in the foregoing clause (B) consisting of rights or interests in the form
of securities shall be immediately delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as
Collateral, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Debtor and be delivered
to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsement).

(iii) In furtherance of the right of the Administrative Agent to exercise voting rights
following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Debtor
shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent a proxy in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect to each item of
Securities Collateral owned by it. No Debtor shall grant a proxy that would conflict with
any proxy granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence so long as
the Security Interests remain in effect.

(iv) Each Debtor shall, at its sole cost and expense, from time to time execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate instruments as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise voting and other
rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (iii) above and to receive
the payments described in clause (B) of paragraph (ii) above.

(v) All distributions or other payments described in clause (B) of paragraph (ii) above
which are received by any Debtor contrary to the provisions of such paragraph shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from
funds of such Debtor and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the
same form as received (with any necessary endorsement)

5.13 Claims Against Collateral. Each Debtor shall, at its own cost and expense,
defend title to the Collateral and the first priority security interest and Lien granted to the
Administrative Agent with respect thereto against all claims and demands of all persons at any
time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Administrative Agent other than Permitted Liens.
Except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or created
pursuant to a Permitted Lien, there is no agreement, order, judgment decree in effect on the
Closing Date, and no Debtor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action after the
Closing Date that restricts the transferability of any of the Collateral or otherwise impair or
conflict with such Debtor’s obligations or the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder.

5.14 Joinder of Additional Debtors. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each new

Subsidiary to, execute a Security and Pledge Agreement and deliver to the Lenders such other

documents relating to such new Subsidiaries to the extent required by Section 6.10 of the Credit

Agreement. ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

6.01 Events of Default, Etc. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have, and in its discretion may exercise, the rights
and remedies with respect to this Agreement as more particularly provided herein or in the
Credit Agreement;

(b) each Debtor shall, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent,
assemble Collateral owned by it (and not otherwise in the possession of the Administrative
Agent or another Person pursuant to any Contractual Obligations in effect between such
Debtor and such Person) at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the
Administrative Agent and such Debtor, designated in such request;

(c) the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to any
Debtor and at such times as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine,
exercise any or all of Debtors’ rights in, to and under, or in any way connected to, the
Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be
obligated to) exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies with respect to
the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not said UCC is in effect in the
jurisdiction where the rights, powers, privileges and remedies are asserted) and such
additional rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a secured party is entitled
under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and
remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining
to the Collateral as if the Administrative Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof
(and the Debtors agree to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such
right);

(d) the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make any reasonable
compromise or settlement it deems desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may
(but shall not be obligated to) extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms, of all or any part of the Collateral;

(e) the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its name or in the
name of any Debtor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property
at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral.
All payments received by any Debtor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such
Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement);

(f) the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) sell, lease, assign or
dispose of all or any part of the Collateral which shall then be or shall thereafter come
into the possession, custody or control of the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party
or any of their respective agents at such place or places as the Administrative Agent deems
best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit
risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to
effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof except such notice as is
required by applicable law and cannot be waived. If, pursuant to applicable law, prior
notice of sale of the Collateral under this Section is required to be given to any Debtor,
each Debtor hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if
no minimum time is specified, ten (10) days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.
The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser,
lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public
sale (or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale) and
thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind,
including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Debtors, any such
demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made
at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. The Collateral may be sold in
one or more sales, at public or private sale, conducted by any officer or agent of, or
auctioneer or attorney for, the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s place of
business or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for other property, for immediate or future
delivery, and at such price or prices and on such terms as the Administrative Agent shall
deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion. The Administrative Agent may, in its
reasonable discretion, at any such sale restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to
their number, nature of business and investment intention to the extent necessary to comply
with applicable law. Upon any public or private sale the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold.
At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any
such notice. In case of any sale of all of any part of the Collateral on credit or for
future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until
the full selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Secured Party shall incur any liability in case of the failure of such
purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure,
such Collateral may again be sold pursuant to the provisions hereof. All cash proceeds of
any such sale, and any other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the
sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral for or applied then or at any time thereafter, in whole or in part, by the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to the payment and satisfaction
of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.04;

(g) upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Debtor shall promptly notify (and
each Debtor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent so to notify) each account debtor in
respect of any Accounts or Instruments that such Collateral has been assigned to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of
such Collateral are to be made directly to the Administrative Agent;

(h) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right to endorse, assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in the name of the
Administrative Agent or any of its nominees or endorse for negotiation any or all of the
Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is subject to
the Security Interests hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right at any time to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral
for certificates of smaller or larger denominations;

(i) the Administrative Agent may vote or exercise any and all of the Debtors’ rights or
powers incident to their ownership of the Securities Collateral, including any rights or
powers to manage or control the Guarantors, and in connection therewith, each Debtor agrees
that, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Debtor will, at its own expense, (A)
provide the Administrative Agent with such information and projections as may be necessary
or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to enable the Administrative Agent
to effect the sale of such Securities Collateral; and (B) do or cause to be done all such
other acts and things (other than registration of such securities) as may be necessary to
make such sale of such Securities Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in
compliance with applicable law.

(j) the Administrative Agent may cause any action at law or suit in equity or other
proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to enforce any rights vested in it by this
Agreement or by law or included in the Collateral, subject to the provisions and
requirements hereof and thereof, or to aid in the exercise of any power herein or therein
granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any
judicial proceeding;

(k) in connection with any acceleration and foreclosure, the Administrative Agent may
lawfully and peacefully take possession of the Collateral and lawfully and peacefully render
it usable and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any obligation to do so, and
lawfully and peacefully enter upon any location where the Collateral may be located for that
purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral, collect all rents and
income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Secured Parties for any cost
or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and to the payment or
performance of any Debtor’s obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and
apply the balance to the other Secured Obligations and any remaining excess balance to
whomsoever is legally entitled thereto;

(l) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent may
secure the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral or any part thereof;

(m) the Administrative Agent may lawfully and peacefully occupy any premises owned or
leased by any Debtor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to any Debtor in respect of such occupation;

(n) the Administrative Agent may give instructions to the issuer of any Securities
Collateral that is an uncertificated security with respect to such uncertificated security.

Each Debtor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be
compelled, subject to the notice provision provided for in paragraph (f) of this Article
ARTICLE VI, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral constituting a
security (as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933), to limit purchasers to those who
will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and
not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges that any such
private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those
obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such
circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage
in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time
necessary to permit any Debtor or the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

6.02 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon
the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Article VI are insufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of such exercise and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations,
the Administrative Agent shall retain all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and each
Debtor shall remain liable, with respect to any deficiency.

6.03 Private Sale. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall
incur no liability as a result of the sale, lease or other disposition of all or any part of the
Collateral, at any private sale pursuant to Article VI conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner. Subject to and without limitation of the preceding sentence, Debtor hereby
waives any claims against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less
than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate
amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer
received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

6.04 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the
proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral
pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Administrative Agent under this
Article VI, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such exercise of remedies,
including reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the reasonable
fees and expenses of its agents and counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred and
advances made by the Administrative Agent in that connection;

Second, to the payment in full of the remaining Secured Obligations equally and
ratably in accordance with their respective amounts then due and owing in respect of the Loan
Documents, or as the Secured Parties holding the same may otherwise agree; and

Finally, to the pay to the Borrower, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining.

6.05 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Debtor hereby
appoints the Administrative Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Debtor for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Article ARTICLE VI and taking any action and executing
any instruments that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the
purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest
(but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Debtor
or any third party for failure to do so or take action). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Article VI to
make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and
power

(a) to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Debtor
representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any
part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

(b) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings in connection
therewith which the Secured Party may deem to be necessary or advisable;

(c) to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or become liens or
security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, unless a bond
or other security satisfactory to the Secured Party has been provided; and

(d) upon foreclosure, to do any and every act which any Debtor may do on its behalf
with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of such
Debtor’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Collateral;

provided, however, that the Secured Party shall not exercise any such rights except
upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. In the event the Administrative Agent desires
to exercise any of the foregoing rights and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or
consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, the applicable Debtor agrees to assist the Administrative Agent in obtaining
as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies,
rights and powers. Each Debtor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof.

6.06 Expenses.

(a) Subject to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may
incur, and Debtors shall pay to the Administrative Agent, all reasonable and documented fees
and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses for legal services) of,
or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article VI, or
exercise by experts, agents or attorneys selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith
of any rights or privileges of Debtors in respect of the Collateral, or any actual or
attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in
respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or
asserting rights and claims of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in
respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, and all such fees and expenses and, to the
extent such amounts are not timely paid, together with interest thereon at the applicable
rate provided for in Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement, shall be Secured Obligations of
the Administrative Agent secured under Article II. All amounts payable by the
Debtors under this Section 6.06(a) shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of
demand thereof.

(b) The terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by each
Debtor under this Agreement shall be observed or performed by it at its sole cost and
expense.

6.07 Administrative Agent’s Right to Perform on Debtor’s Behalf. If any Debtor fails
to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to), upon reasonable notice to such Debtor, unless such Debtor is diligently
pursuing a cure for such failure that cannot be obtained more quickly by the Administrative
Agent’s performance as specified herein, itself perform or cause to be performed such obligations
at the expense of such Debtor, either in its name or in the name and on behalf of such Debtor.

6.08 Custody and Preservation. The Administrative Agent’s obligation to use
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral shall be satisfied if it uses the
same care as it uses in the custody and preservation of its own property.

6.09 Preservation of Rights. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party
shall be required to take any steps to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the
Collateral.

6.10 Rights of Secured Party. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
may (but shall not be obligated to) pay or secure payment of any Tax or other claim that may be
secured by or result in a Lien on any Collateral upon reasonable notice to the Debtors if the
Debtors shall have failed to pay timely or secure timely such Tax or other claim. The
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) do any other
thing that it in good faith believes is necessary or desirable to preserve, protect or maintain
the validity, perfection or priority of the security interest created hereby in the Collateral or,
while an Event of Default exists, to enhance the Collateral’s value. Debtors shall immediately
reimburse the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any reasonable payment or
expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Administrative Agent or such
other Secured Party may incur pursuant to this Section 6.10.

6.11 No Marshalling. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party
shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited
to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to
resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order.

6.12 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right
or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by the
Administrative Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated
or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

7.01 Waivers of Rights Inhibiting Enforcement. Each Debtor waives, for itself and
all who may claim under it, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) any claim that, as to any part of the Collateral, a public sale, should the
Administrative Agent elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not a commercially
reasonable method of sale for the Collateral;

(b) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the Administrative
Agent any offsets or counterclaims that it may have;

(c) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING IN
CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE
COLLATERAL INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR
REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT ANY DEBTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR
ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME,
PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER;

(d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium;
and

(e) the right to invoke any law requiring marshalling of collateral and all other
rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the
enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties under this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral, now or
hereafter in force under any applicable law.

7.02 Notices. The Administrative Agent or any Debtor shall give any notice, request,
demand or other communication (a “Notice”) pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with
Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. Any Notice to the Debtor shall be sent to the address of
the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement or to such other address provided by such Debtor to
the Administrative Agent in writing. Any Notice sent as hereinabove provided shall be deemed
delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery.

7.03 Assignment. No Debtor may assign any of its rights or delegate any performance
under this Agreement (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by merger, consolidation, dissolution,
operation of law or any other manner) except with the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consent may be withheld in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. Any purported
assignment without such consent is void. When any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers any
interest held by it under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant
to the terms of the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document, that other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits held by such Lender under this Agreement.

7.04 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds the Debtors and their respective
successors and assigns and inures to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties
and their respective successors and assigns.

7.05 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Debtor therefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the
other Debtors; provided that any amendment, waiver, or consent shall be signed by the
Required Lender or all of the Lenders to the extent required by Section 10.1 of the Credit
Agreement. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.

7.06 No Implied Waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege or requiring the satisfaction of any condition hereunder, and no course of dealing
between the Debtors and the Administrative Agent operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right,
remedy or condition. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement
precludes any simultaneous or subsequent exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The
rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive of, but are cumulative to, any
rights or remedies now or subsequently existing at law, in equity or by statute.

OTHER DIMINUTION IN THE VALUE OF ANY COLLATERAL, THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF, IN
CONNECTION WITH, OR THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, ANY EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR ANY SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, DEPRECIATION OR DIMINUTION TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE SAME IS THE RESULT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS ON THE PART OF SUCH SECURED PARTY

COMPETENT JURISDICTION); OR

(b) ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
SUFFERED BY ANY DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

7.17 Subrogation. No Debtor shall exercise, and each Debtor hereby irrevocably
waives, any claim, right or remedy that it may now have or may hereafter acquire against any other
Debtor arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
claim, right or remedy of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification
or participation arising under contract, by applicable law or otherwise in any claim, right or
remedy of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties against such Debtor or any other
Person or any Collateral which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may now have or
may hereafter acquire, until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all Secured
Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments. If, notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, any amount shall be paid to any Debtor on account of such subrogation rights
at any time when any of the Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount
shall be held by such Debtor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Debtor and be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the
exact form received by such Debtor (duly endorsed by such Debtor to the Administrative Agent, if
required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall be expressly
permitted hereunder to make payments to each other to the extent not prohibited by the Credit
Agreement.

Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any power, right or remedy
provided for or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative
Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements
with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative
Agent and Debtors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as the
Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain
from acting, and Debtors shall be under no obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.

7.19 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor
the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve
any Debtor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Debtor’s
part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any
person in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Administrative
Agent for any act or omission on the part of such Debtor relating thereto or for any breach of any
representation or warranty on the part of such Debtor contained in this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection
herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents
included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent be
obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Debtor thereunder or to take any
action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the
