among the following:

          (i) GIBRALTAR INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“GII”), and GIBRALTAR
STEEL CORPORATION OF NEW YORK, a New York corporation (“GSNY,” and together with
GII, each a “Borrower” and collectively the “Borrowers”).

          (ii) the lending institutions party hereto (each a “Lender” and collectively,
the “Lenders”);

          (iii) KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as a Lender, an LC
Issuer, the lead arranger (the “Lead Arranger”), the sole book runner, the Swing
Line Lender and the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”);

          (iv) JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as a Lender, LC Issuer
and a co-syndication agent (a “Co-Syndication Agent”);

          (v) BMO CAPITAL MARKETS FINANCING, INC., as a Lender and a Co-Syndication Agent;

          (vi) HARRIS N.A., a national banking association, as an LC Issuer; and

          (vii) HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association and
MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, a New York State banking corporation, each as a
Lender and a co-documentation agent (each a “Co-Documentation Agent” and
collectively, the “Co-Documentation Agents”).

          WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Revolving
Lenders have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, that the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2005 (as amended, the “Original
Credit Agreement”), shall be amended and restated;

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the
Revolving Lenders agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below).

          SECTION 2. Restatement Closing Date. (a) The transactions provided for in
Section 3 hereof shall be consummated at a closing to be held on the Restatement Closing Date (as
defined below).

          (b) The “Restatement Closing Date” shall be the date upon which all of the
conditions set forth or referred to in Article IV of the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement shall have been satisfied.

          SECTION 3. Amendment and Restatement of the Credit Agreement. On the
Restatement Closing Date, the Original Credit Agreement, including the schedules and exhibits
thereto, shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth at Exhibit A
hereto (the “Restated Credit 

 

 

Agreement”), and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to enter into such Loan
Documents and to take such other actions as may be required to give effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. From and after the effectiveness of such amendment and
restatement, the terms “Agreement”, “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof”
and words of similar import, as used in the Restated Credit Agreement, shall, unless the context
otherwise requires, refer to the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated in the form of
the Restated Credit Agreement, and the term “Credit Agreement,” as used in the Loan Documents,
shall mean the Restated Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 4. Effectiveness; Counterparts. This Agreement shall become
effective when counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Revolving Lenders, shall have
been received by the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Term Lender to sign a counterpart of
this Agreement shall not limit the effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be
amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except pursuant to a writing signed by each of the
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Revolving Lenders. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original
but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 5. No Novation. Neither this Agreement nor the execution, delivery
or effectiveness of any other Loan Document shall extinguish the outstanding Loans or any other
outstanding obligations under the Original Credit Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as a substitution or novation of the outstanding Loans or any other outstanding
obligations, or a release or discharge of the Borrower or any Guarantor from any of its obligations
and liabilities as a “Borrower,” “Loan Party” or “Subsidiary Guarantor” under the Original Credit
Agreement, which shall remain outstanding as modified hereby.

          SECTION 6. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.05 of the Restated Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 7. Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. (A) THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          (B) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.08 OF THE ORIGINAL CREDIT
AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTION WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN.

Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower
Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by each Borrower and shall be
binding upon and enforceable against each Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made
directly by each Borrower.

     Section 1.06 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers. Each request by the
Borrower Representative for a Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of any Loan shall be deemed to
be a joint and several request by both of the Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby authorizes any other
Borrower to request a Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of a Loan hereunder and agrees that it
is receiving or will receive a direct pecuniary benefit therefor. Each Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the Lenders are entering into this Agreement at the request of each Borrower and with
the understanding that each Borrower is and shall remain fully liable, jointly and severally, for
payment in full of all of the Obligations.

     Section 1.07 Contribution Among Borrowers. To the extent that any Borrower shall make
a payment (each a “Borrower Payment”) of all or any portion of the Obligations, then such
Borrower shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the
other Borrower in an amount equal to a fraction of such Borrower Payment, the numerator of which
fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the
Allocable Amounts of both Borrowers. This Section 1.07 is intended only to define the relative
rights of the Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this Section 1.07 is intended to or shall impair
the obligations of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts, as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Borrowers acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder
shall constitute assets in favor of each Borrower to which
such contribution and indemnification is owing. Any right of contribution of any of the
Borrowers shall be subject and subordinate to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the
Obligations.

     Section 1.08 Currency Equivalents. Except as otherwise specified herein, all
references herein or in any other Loan Document to a dollar amount shall mean such amount in U.S.
Dollars or, if the context so requires, the Dollar Equivalent of such amount in any Designated
Foreign Currency. The Dollar Equivalent of any amount shall be determined in accordance with the
definition of “Dollar Equivalent”; provided, however, that (a) notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in calculating the Dollar Equivalent of any
amount for purposes of determining (i) the Borrowers’ obligation to prepay Loans or cash
collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13(c), or (ii) the Borrowers’ ability to
request additional Loans or Letters of Credit pursuant to the Commitments, the Administrative Agent
may, in the case of either of the foregoing, in its discretion, calculate the Dollar Equivalent of
such amount on any Business Day selected by the

28

 

Administrative Agent, and (b) in determining
whether the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries have exceeded any basket limitation set
forth in Sections 7.02, 7.04 or 7.05, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries shall not be
deemed to have exceeded any such basket limitation to the extent that, and only to the extent that,
any such basket limitation was exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate
applicable to any Designated Foreign Currency.

ARTICLE II.

THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

     Section 2.01 Establishment of the Credit Facility. On the Closing Date, and subject
to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each LC Issuer agree to
establish the Credit Facility for the benefit of the Borrowers; provided, however, that at no time
will (i) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceed the Total Credit Facility Amount, or (ii)
the Credit Facility Exposure of any Revolving Lender exceed the aggregate amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Commitment.

     Section 2.02 Revolving Facility. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period,
each Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to
make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to the Borrowers from time to time pursuant to such
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, which Revolving Loans: (i) may, except as set forth
herein, at the option of the Borrower Representative, be incurred and maintained as, or Converted
into, Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, in each
case denominated in Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency, provided that all Revolving Loans
made as part of the same Revolving Borrowing shall consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type;
(ii) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; and (iii)
shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, (A) the Revolving Facility
Exposure of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (B) the
Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
Swing Loans would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, (C) the Foreign Currency Exposure would
exceed the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, or (D) the Borrowers would be required to
prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13(c). The Revolving
Loans to be made by each Revolving Lender will be made by such Revolving Lender on a pro rata basis
based upon such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each Revolving Borrowing, in
each case in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof.

     Section 2.03 Term Loan. On the Original Closing Date, each Term Lender made a Term
Loan to the Borrowers pursuant to such Term Lender’s Term Commitment, which Term Loans: (i) once
prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed, (ii) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of
the Borrower Representative, be maintained as, or Converted into, Term Loans that are Base Rate
Loans or Eurodollar Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars; and (iii) shall be repaid in
accordance with Section 2.13(b).

     Section 2.04 Swing Line Facility.

     (a) Swing Loans. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Swing Line
Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a Swing Loan or
Swing Loans to the Borrowers from time to time, which Swing Loans: (i) shall be payable on the
Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable to each such Swing Loan; (ii) shall be made only in U.S.
Dollars; (iii) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof;
(iv) may only be made if after giving effect thereto (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing
Loans outstanding does not exceed the Swing

29

 

Line Commitment, and (B) the Aggregate Revolving
Facility Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans would not
exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; and (v) shall not be made if, after giving effect thereto,
the Borrowers would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.13(c) hereof.

     (b) Swing Loan Refunding. The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its sole and
absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to
such effect to the Administrative Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a
“Notice of Swing Loan Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Loan
Refunding, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Revolving
Lenders and, unless an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(h) in respect of any Borrower
have occurred, the Borrower Representative. Each such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be
deemed to constitute delivery by the Borrower Representative of a Notice of Borrowing requesting
Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates.
Each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees
(notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to
make a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding
relates. Each such Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than 2:00 P.M.
(local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Revolving Lender prior to
11:00 A.M. (local time at its Applicable Lending Office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time
at the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Revolving
Lender after such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately available
to the Swing Line Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to
which such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding relates.

     (c) Swing Loan Participation. If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise
have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding, any of the
events specified in Section 8.01(h) shall have occurred in respect of the Borrowers or one or more
of the Revolving Lenders shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan
under such circumstances, each Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each
Revolving Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on
the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an
undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing Loans to which such Notice of
Swing Loan Refunding relates, in an amount (the “Swing Loan Participation Amount”) equal to
such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such outstanding Swing Loans. On the
Purchase Date, each such Revolving Lender or each such Revolving Lender so prohibited, as the case
may be, shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Revolving Lender’s
Swing Loan Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if
requested by such other Revolving Lender, deliver to such Revolving Lender a participation
certificate, dated the date of the Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing
such Revolving Lender’s Swing Loan Participation in, such Swing Loans and its Swing Loan
Participation Amount in respect thereof. If any amount required to be paid by a Revolving Lender
to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above provisions in respect of any Swing Loan
Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due, such Revolving Lender shall pay to the
Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the overnight Federal Funds
Effective Rate from the due date until such amount is paid in full. Whenever, at any time after
the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s Swing
Loan Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of the
Borrowers on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute to
such Revolving Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Revolving Facility

30

 

Percentage
of such amount on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s
participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment
received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to
the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

     (d) Obligations Unconditional. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving
Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations in connection with a
Notice of Swing Loan Refunding shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Revolving Lender
shall have received a Notice of Swing Loan Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii)
at the time the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Loan Refunding were made,
the Swing Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from another Revolving Lender
that an Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and
unconditional, shall be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of
Swing Loan Refunding, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation,
(A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may
have against any other Revolving Lender, any Loan Party, or any other Person, or any Loan Party may
have against any Revolving Lender or other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever,
(B) the occurrence or continuance of Default or Event of Default, (C) any event or circumstance
involving a Material Adverse Effect, (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any party thereto, or
(E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

     (a) LC Issuances. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period, the Borrower
Representative may request an LC Issuer at any time and from time to time to issue, for the account
of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions
herein set forth, each LC Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Letters of Credit denominated
and payable in Dollars or any Designated Foreign Currency and in each case in such form as may be
approved by such LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, no LC Issuance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the LC
Outstandings would exceed the LC Commitment Amount, (ii) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any
Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum
Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, (iv) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure plus the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving
Commitment, or (v) the Borrowers would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.13(c) hereof. Subject to Section 2.05(c) below, each Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of
(y) one year from the date of issuance thereof, or (z) 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving
Facility Termination Date.

     (b) LC Requests. Whenever the Borrowers desire that a Letter of Credit be issued for
its account or the account of any eligible LC Obligor, the Borrower Representative shall give the
Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer written or telephonic notice (in the case of
telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent)
which, if in the form of written notice, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3
(each such request, a “LC Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer), prior to 11:00 A.M.
(local time at the Notice Office) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be
acceptable to the relevant LC Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a
Business Day), which LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer
customarily requires in connection therewith (including, in the case of a Letter of Credit for an

31

 

account party other than a Borrower, an application for, and if applicable a reimbursement
agreement with respect to, such Letter of Credit). In the event of any inconsistency between any
of the terms or provisions of any LC Document and the terms and provisions of this Agreement
respecting Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control.

     (c) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable LC
Request, each LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal
provisions; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must
permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the
time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal
provisions has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry
date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided,
however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such LC Issuer has determined
that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form
under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on
or before the day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to
send a notice of non-renewal from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower
Representative that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied.

     (d) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable LC
Issuer and the applicable LC Obligor, when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the
“International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law &
Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to
each Letter of Credit.

     (e) Notice of LC Issuance. Each LC Issuer shall, on the date of each LC Issuance by
it, give the Administrative Agent, each applicable Revolving Lender and the Borrower Representative
written notice of such LC Issuance, accompanied by a copy to the Administrative Agent of the Letter
of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by it. Each LC Issuer shall provide to the Administrative
Agent a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Revolving Lender) summary describing each Letter of
Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period
of the daily aggregate LC Outstandings represented by Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

     (f) Reimbursement Obligations.

     (i) The Borrowers hereby agree to reimburse (or cause any LC Obligor for whose account
a Letter of Credit was issued to reimburse) each LC Issuer, by making payment directly to
such LC Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of such LC Issuer, for
any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event
on the date on which, such LC Issuer notifies the Borrower Representative (or any such other
LC Obligor for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued) of such payment or
disbursement (which notice to the Borrower Representative (or such other LC Obligor) shall
be delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be
made in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency, with interest on the
amount so paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00
P.M. (local time at the payment office of the applicable LC Issuer) on the date of such
payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including
the date such LC Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate
then applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) that are Base Rate Loans
or, if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement, at the Default Rate, any
such interest also to be payable on demand. If

32

 

by 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day
immediately following notice to it of its obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an
Unpaid Drawing, the Borrower Representative or the relevant LC Obligor has not made such
reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or, in the case of a Borrower, a
contemporaneous Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise available to the
Borrowers), (x) the Borrower Representative will in each case be deemed to have given a
Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an aggregate Dollar
Equivalent principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Revolving Lenders of such deemed
Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Revolving Lenders shall, unless they are legally prohibited
from doing so, make the Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing
(which Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.02), and (z) the proceeds of
such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to the applicable LC Issuer to the extent
necessary to effect such reimbursement and repayment of the Unpaid Drawing, with any excess
proceeds to be made available to the Borrowers in accordance with the applicable provisions
of this Agreement.

     (ii) Obligations Absolute. Each LC Obligor’s obligation under this Section to
reimburse each LC Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest
thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such LC Obligor may have
or have had against such LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender,
including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a
Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or
misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that
no LC Obligor shall be obligated to reimburse an LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by
such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting
willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.

     (g) LC Participations.

     (i) Immediately upon each LC Issuance (and on the Closing Date with respect to any
Existing Letter of Credit), the LC Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have
sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender (each an
“LC Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased
and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation (an “LC Participation”), to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Facility Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at
such time of issuance, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each
drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect
thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders as provided in Section 2.11 and the LC
Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature
contemplated by Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.11(d)), the obligations of any LC Obligor under
any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty pertaining to, any of
the foregoing.

     (ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an LC Issuer shall not
have any obligation relative to the LC Participants other than to determine that any
documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that
they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any
action taken or omitted to be taken by an LC Issuer under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability.

33

 

     (iii) If an LC Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the applicable
LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.05(f), such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each LC Participant of such failure, and each LC
Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage
of such payment in Dollars or the applicable Designated Foreign Currency and in same-day
funds; provided, however, that no LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the
Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any
wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or
omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer.
If the Administrative Agent so notifies any LC Participant required to fund a payment under
a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business
Day, such LC Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the relevant LC Issuer such LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of
such payment on such Business Day in same-day funds. If and to the extent such LC
Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such
payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer,
such LC Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC
Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from
such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such LC Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any LC Participant to
make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its
Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve
any other LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Revolving Facility Percentage of any payment
under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no LC Participant
shall be responsible for the failure of any other LC Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such LC Issuer such other LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of
any such payment.

     (iv) Whenever an LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which
the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from
the LC Participants pursuant to subpart (iii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each LC Participant
that has paid its Revolving Facility Percentage thereof, in same-day funds, an amount equal
to such LC Participant’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the principal amount thereof and
interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective LC Participations, as and to
the extent so received.

     (v) The obligations of the LC Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and
not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or
exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
circumstances:

     (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents;

     (B) the existence of any claim, set-off defense or other right that any LC
Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may
be

34

 

acting), the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Revolving Lender, or other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the
transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any
underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named
in any such Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor
may have against any applicable LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Letter of Credit;

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

     (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or
observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or

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

     (vi) To the extent any LC Issuer or any of its Related Parties is not indemnified by
the Borrowers or any LC Obligor, the LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC
Issuer and its Related Parties, in proportion to their respective Revolving Facility
Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind
or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer or such
Related Party in performing their respective duties in any way related to or arising out of
LC Issuances by it; provided, however, that no LC
Participants, nor any of its Related Parties, shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s or Related Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

     (h) Existing Letters of Credit. Schedule 2.05 hereto contains a description of all
Letters of Credit outstanding on, and to continue in effect after, the Closing Date, in each case
issued by an LC Issuer, other than pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement. Each such Letter of
Credit issued by a bank that is or becomes a Lender under this Agreement (each, an “Existing Letter
of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for
purposes of Section 2.05, on the Closing Date, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Lenders hereby agree that, from and after such date, the terms of this Agreement shall
apply to such Letters of Credit, superseding any other agreement theretofore applicable to them to
the extent inconsistent with the terms hereof.

     Section 2.06 Notice of Borrowing.

     (a) Time of Notice. Each Borrowing of a Loan (other than a Continuation or
Conversion) shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below which shall be provided by the
Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the
case of each Borrowing of a Eurocurrency Loan, 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) at
least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing
of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of
such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of any Borrowing under the Swing Line Facility, prior to 1:00
P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing.

     (b) Notice of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing (other than a Continuation or
Conversion) shall be made by an Authorized Officer by delivering written notice of such request

35

 

substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (each such notice, a “Notice of
Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an
Authorized Officer of a Notice of Borrowing), and in any event each such request shall be
irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant
to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type
of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, and (iv) if applicable, the initial Interest Period, the
Swing Loan Maturity Date and the Designated Foreign Currency applicable thereto. Without in any
way limiting the obligation of the Borrower Representative to confirm in writing any telephonic
notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of
written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer entitled to give telephonic
notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrowers. In each such case, the Administrative
Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by the
Borrowers shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

     (d) Maximum Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be incurred by the Borrowers on
any day; provided, however, that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day by the
Borrowers that consist of Eurocurrency Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial
Interest Period, and (ii) at no time shall there be more than ten Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans
outstanding hereunder.

     Section 2.07 Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds.

     (a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each Lender hereunder
and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and fund Swing Loan Participations, and LC
Participations, as the case may be, are several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any
participation hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by
it and fund its participations required to be funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of
any other Lender to fulfill any of its Commitments hereunder. Nothing herein and no subsequent
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to
prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by
such Lender hereunder.

     (b) Borrowings Pro Rata. Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the
Swing Line Lender, all Revolving Loans made, and LC Participations acquired by each Revolving
Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based upon each
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the amount of such Revolving Borrowing or
Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the
Letter of Credit is to be issued.

     (c) Notice to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender, as
applicable, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed
Borrowing, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and LC Issuance, and of such Lender’s
proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice
of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, or LC Request, as the case may be, relating
thereto.

     (d) Funding of Loans.

     (i) Loans Generally. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment
Office) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available
its amount, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the
Administrative Agent at the

36

 

Payment Office in Dollars or the applicable Designated Foreign Currency and in
immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the
Borrowers by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the
Borrower Representative shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the
type of funds received.

     (ii) Swing Loans. No later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office)
on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available
to the Borrowers by depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account
as the Borrower Representative shall specify) the aggregate of Swing Loans requested in such
Notice of Borrowing.

     (e) Advance Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the
Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such
assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the
Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to
the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made the same available to
the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from
such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
Representative, and the Borrowers shall immediately repay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender
or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day
from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate
per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii)
if paid by the Borrowers, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with
Section 2.09, for the respective Loans (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect
thereof pursuant to Section 3.02).

     Section 2.08 Evidence of Obligations.

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

     (b) Loan Accounts of Administrative Agent; Lender Register. The Administrative Agent
shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made
hereunder, the Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period
and applicable interest rate and, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Maturity Date
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued
hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details
relating to the Loans, Letters of Credit and other Obligations. In addition, the Administrative
Agent shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will record the
names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make the
Lender Register available to any Lender or the Borrowers upon request.

37

 

     (c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained
pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
Obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain
such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of any Loan Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

     (d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers will
execute and deliver to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, (i) a Revolving
Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Borrowers’
obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender,
(ii) a Term Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence their
obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Term Loan made to it by such Lender, and
(iii) a Swing Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the
Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the
Swing Line Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender to
not request a Note shall in no way detract from the Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Loans and
other amounts owing by the Borrowers to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

     Section 2.09 Interest; Default Rate.

     (a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving
Loan made by each Revolving Lender shall bear interest for the account of each Revolving Lender at
a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such
Revolving Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from
time to time, (ii) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant
Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus
the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time and (iii) during such periods as a Revolving Loan
is a Foreign Currency Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Foreign Currency Loan
for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

     (b) Interest on Term Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan made
by each Term Lender shall bear interest for the account of each Term Lender at a fluctuating rate
per annum that shall at all times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Term Loan is a Base
Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin, and (ii) during such periods
as such Term Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Eurodollar
Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Term Loan Margin.

     (c) Interest on Swing Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan
shall bear interest for the account of the Swing Line Lender (and, if applicable, the account of
each holder of a Swing Loan Participation) from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that
shall be equal to the Quoted Rate applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin in effect
from time to time.

     (d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an Event of Default is
in existence, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent (which notice the Administrative
Agent shall give at the direction of the Required Lenders), (i) all outstanding amounts of
principal and, to the extent permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall
bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the LC Fees shall be increased by an
additional 2% per annum in excess of the LC Fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any
amount (other than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable) payable
by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by the
Administrative Agent (which notice the

38

 

Administrative Agent shall give at the direction of the
Required Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to
the Default Rate.

     (e) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the
date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be
payable by the Borrowers: (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Eurocurrency
Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest
Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three months after the
commencement of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of any Swing Loan, on the Swing Loan
Maturity Date applicable thereto, and (iv) in respect of all Loans, other than Revolving Loans
accruing interest at a Base Rate, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid,
prepaid or Converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity
or, in the case of any interest payable pursuant to Section 2.09(c), on demand.

     (f) Computations of Interest. All computations of interest on Eurocurrency Loans and
Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.
All computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall be made on the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

     (g) Information as to Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent, upon determining the
interest rate for any Borrowing, shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders
thereof. Any changes in the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the provisions set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” and the
Administrative Agent will promptly provide notice of such determinations to the Borrower
Representative and the Lenders. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

     Section 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

     (a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall have the
right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of
the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of
another Type of Loans that can be made to it pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) Continue a
Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans, as the case may be, at the end of the
applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (in the
same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Foreign Currency Loan) with a new Interest Period;
provided, however, that (A) no Foreign Currency Loan may be Converted into a Base Rate Loan,
Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan that is denominated in a different Designated Foreign
Currency, and (B) any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and
only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans.

     (b) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan
shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the Borrower Representative to
the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation
of or Conversion into a Eurocurrency Loan, prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) at
least three Business Days’ prior to the date of such Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the
case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office)
on the proposed date of such Conversion. Each such request shall be made by an Authorized Officer
delivering written notice of such request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto
(each such notice, a “Notice of Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be
confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an

39

 

Authorized Officer of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the
Borrowings to be Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which
shall be a Business Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new
Interest Period. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to confirm in writing
any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may act prior to
receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed
by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer entitled to give
telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower. In each such case, the
Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     Section 2.11 Fees.

     (a) Facility Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of each Revolving Lender based upon each such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility
Percentage, as consideration for the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, facility fees
(the “Facility Fees”) for the period from the Closing Date to, but not including, the
Revolving Facility Termination Date, computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to (i) the
Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect on such day times (ii) the Total Revolving
Commitment in effect on such day. Accrued Facility Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the
last Business Day of each September, December, March and June and on the Revolving Facility
Termination Date.

     (b) LC Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of each Revolving Lender based upon each such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility
Percentage, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the period from the date
of issuance of such Letter of Credit until the expiration date thereof (including any extensions of
such expiration date that may be made at the election of the account party or the beneficiary),
computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans
that are Eurocurrency Loans in effect on such day times (B) the Stated Amount of such
Letter of Credit on such day. The foregoing fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last
Business Day of each September, December, March and June and on the Revolving Facility Termination
Date.

     (c) Fronting Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay directly to each LC Issuer, for its own
account, any fronting fees agreed to in writing between the Borrowers and such LC Issuer in respect
of each Letter of Credit issued by it. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the date or
dates agreed to between the Borrowers and such LC Issuer.

     (d) Additional Charges of LC Issuer. The Borrowers agree to pay directly to each LC
Issuer upon each LC Issuance, drawing under, or amendment, extension, renewal or transfer of, a
Letter of Credit issued by it such amount as shall at the time of such LC Issuance, drawing under,
amendment, extension, renewal or transfer be the processing charge that such LC Issuer is
customarily charging for issuances of, drawings under or amendments, extensions, renewals or
transfers of, letters of credit issued by it.

     (e) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
on the Closing Date and thereafter, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Administrative
Agent Fee Letter.

     (f) Computations and Determination of Fees. Any changes in the Applicable Facility
Fee Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set
forth in the definition of “Applicable Facility Fee Rate” and the Administrative Agent will
promptly provide notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders. Any such
determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
All computations of Facility

40

 

Fees, LC Fees and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

     Section 2.12 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

     (a) Mandatory Termination of Revolving Commitments. All of the Revolving Commitments
shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

     (b) Voluntary Termination of the Total Revolving Commitment. Upon at least three
Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the
Borrowers shall have the right to terminate in whole the Total Revolving Commitment, provided that
(i) all outstanding Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings are contemporaneously prepaid in accordance
with Section 2.13 and (ii) either there are no outstanding Letters of Credit or the Borrowers shall
contemporaneously cause all outstanding Letters of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation (any
such Letters of Credit to be replaced by letters of credit issued by other financial institutions
acceptable to each LC Issuer and the Revolving Lenders).

     (c) Partial Reduction of Total Revolving Commitment. Upon at least three Business
Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrowers
shall have the right to partially and permanently reduce the Unused Total Revolving Commitment;
provided, however, that (i) any such reduction shall apply to proportionately (based on each
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage) and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment
of each Revolving Lender, (ii) such reduction shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce
the LC Commitment Amount and the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, but only to the extent
that the Unused Total Revolving Commitment would be reduced below any such limits, (iii) no such
reduction shall be permitted if the Borrowers would be required to make a mandatory prepayment of
Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.13, and (iv) any partial
reduction shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000 (or, if greater, in integral multiples of
$1,000,000).

     Section 2.13 Voluntary, Scheduled and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay any of the
Loans owing by them, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as specified in
subparts (d) and (e) below, from time to time. The Borrower Representative shall give the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic
notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent) of its intent to
prepay the Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) the
specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be
received by the Administrative Agent by (y) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) three
Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) one
Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate
Loans, and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the
affected Lenders, provided that:

     (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (A)
in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan, $10,000,000 (or, if less, the full
amount of such Borrowing) or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in excess thereof, (B) in the case of any
prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing)
or the Dollar

41

 

Equivalent thereof, or an integral multiple of $500,000 or the Dollar
Equivalent thereof in excess thereof, and (C) in the case of any prepayment of a Swing Loan,
in the full amount thereof;

     (ii) no partial prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the
aggregate principal amount of such Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount
less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; and

     (iii) in the case of any prepayment of Term Loans, such prepayment shall be applied to
reduce the Scheduled Repayments in respect of the Term Loans in the inverse order of
maturity.

     (b) Scheduled Repayments of Term Loans. On each of the dates set forth below, the
Borrowers shall repay the principal amount of the Term Loans in the amount set forth opposite such
date, except that the payment due on the Term Loan Maturity Date shall in any event be in the
amount of the entire remaining principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans (each such repayment,
as the same may be reduced by reason of the application of prepayments pursuant to Section 2.13(c),
a “Scheduled Repayment”):

     (c) Mandatory Payments. The Loans shall be subject to mandatory repayment or
prepayment (in the case of any partial prepayment conforming to the requirements as to the amounts
of partial prepayments set forth in Section 2.13(a) above), and the LC Outstandings shall be
subject to cash collateralization requirements, in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) Revolving Facility Termination Date. The entire principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Facility Termination
Date.

     (ii) Loans Exceed the Commitments. If on any date (after giving effect to any
other payments on such date) (A) the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure exceeds the Total
Credit Facility Amount, (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Revolving Lender exceeds
such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (C) the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed
the Maximum Foreign Currency Exposure Amount, (D) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure
plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans exceeds the Total
Revolving Commitment, or (E) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans outstanding
exceeds the Swing Line Commitment, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the Borrowers
shall, on such day, prepay on such date the principal amount of Loans and, after Loans have
been paid in full, Unpaid Drawings, in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

     (iii) LC Outstandings Exceed LC Commitment If on any date the LC Outstandings
exceed the LC Commitment Amount, then the applicable LC Obligor or the Borrowers shall, on
such day, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in cash equal to such excess and the
Administrative Agent shall hold such payment as security for the reimbursement obligations
of the applicable LC Obligors hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to a cash
collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Borrowers (which shall permit certain
investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and
the Borrowers until the proceeds are applied to any Unpaid Drawings or to any other
Obligations in accordance with any such cash collateral agreement).

     (iv) Excess Cash Flow. Within 90 days after each fiscal year of the Borrowers,
commencing with the financial statements of the Borrowers for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006, in which the Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of any such fiscal year
is greater than 3.50 to 1.00, the Borrowers shall prepay the principal of the Term Loans in
an aggregate amount (an “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount”) at least equal to 50%
of the amount of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, with such amount to be applied as set forth in Section
2.13(d) below.

     (v) Certain Proceeds of Asset Sales. If during any fiscal year of the
Borrowers, the Loan Parties have received cumulative Net Cash Proceeds during such fiscal
year from one or more Asset Sales of at least $10,000,000 made pursuant to Section 7.02(c),
not later than the third Business Day following the date of receipt of any Cash Proceeds in
excess of such amount, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in
excess of such amount from any Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the
Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d) below.

     (vi) Certain Proceeds of Indebtedness. Not later than the Business Day
following the date of the receipt by any Loan Party of the cash proceeds (net of
underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and
costs associated therewith) from any sale or issuance of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to Section 7.04(f), Section 7.04(g) or

43

 

Section 7.04(h)(i), the Borrowers will make a prepayment of the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds in
accordance with Section 2.13(d) below.

     (vii) Certain Proceeds of an Event of Loss. If during any fiscal year of the
Borrowers, any Loan Party has received cumulative Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from
one or more Events of Loss of more than 5% of Consolidated Net Worth, not later than the
third Business Day following the date of receipt of any Cash Proceeds in excess of such
amount, the Borrowers will make a prepayment of the Term Loans with an amount equal to 100%
of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such amount from any Event of Loss in
accordance with Section 2.13(d) below; provided, however, that if (A) no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (B) the Borrower Representative notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing that it intends to rebuild or restore the
affected property and that such rebuilding or restoration can be accomplished within 270
days out of such Cash Proceeds and other funds available to the Borrowers, then no such
prepayment of the Loans shall be required if the Borrowers actually use such Cash Proceeds
for application to the costs of rebuilding or restoration of the affected property within
such 270 day period. Any amounts not so applied to the costs of rebuilding or restoration
within such 270 day period shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as provided
above.

     (d) Applications of Certain Prepayment Proceeds. Each prepayment required to be made
pursuant to Sections 2.13(c)(iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) above shall be applied as a mandatory
prepayment of principal of the outstanding Term Loans, with such amounts being applied to reduce
the Scheduled Repayments thereof in the inverse order of maturity.

     (e) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of
Loans made or required by this Section, the Borrower Representative shall designate the Types of
Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such
repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower Representative
shall first so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans with Interest
Periods ending on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Eurocurrency
Loans for repayment or prepayment, and (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency
Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a
result of any such repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such
Borrowing shall, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans and, in the
case of Foreign Currency Loans, be repaid in full. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower Representative as described in the preceding sentence, the
Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with
a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III.

     (f) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section
2.13 shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III hereof.

     Section 2.14 Method and Place of Payment.

     (a) Generally. All payments made by the Borrowers hereunder (including any payments
made with respect to the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under Article X) under any Note or any
other Loan Document, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

     (b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Revolving Loans and

44

 

payments and prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the principal amount of the Term Loans made by each Term Lender, pro
rata on the basis of their respective Term Commitments, and (iii) all payments or prepayments of
Swing Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay or prepay such Swing Loans.

     (c) Payment of Obligations. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this

to the Administrative Agent on the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in

Foreign Currency Loan shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Loan
and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued in a Designated Foreign Currency, all Unpaid
Drawings with respect to each such Letter of Credit shall be made in the same Designated Foreign
Currency in which each such Letter of Credit was issued.

     (d) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than
12:00 noon (local time at the Payment Office) shall be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, (i) the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, (ii) with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such
extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension and (iii) except as
set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars. With respect to any Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency Loan shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original Loan
and, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued in a Designated Foreign Currency, all Unpaid
Drawings with respect to each such Letter of Credit shall be made in the same Designated Foreign
Currency in which each such Letter of Credit was issued.

     Section 2.15 Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
payments hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the
applicable LC Issuer, as the case may be, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal,
interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by the
Administrative Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as
the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds and payments received by the
Administrative Agent in any Designated Foreign Currency shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC Issuer, as the case
may be, in such Designated Foreign Currency in same-day funds; provided, however, that if at any
time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due hereunder then, except as
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, such funds shall be
applied, first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and
second, towards payment of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Unpaid Drawings then due
to such parties.

ARTICLE III.

INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY AND TAXES

     Section 3.01 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

     (a) In the event that (y) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (z) in
the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have determined on a reasonable basis
(which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto):

45

 

     (i) on any date for determining the interest rate applicable to any Eurocurrency Loan
for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date,
adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the
basis provided for in this Agreement for such Eurocurrency Loan; or

     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable by it hereunder in an amount that such Lender deems material
with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the
amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of
taxes or similar charges) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date in any applicable
law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having the
force of law), or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the
introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request
(such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but,
in all events, excluding reserves already includable in the interest rate applicable to such
Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this Agreement) or (y) other circumstances adversely affecting
the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in any such market; or

     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has become
unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any change since the Closing Date
in any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or
application thereof, or would conflict with any thereof not having the force of law but with
which such Lender customarily complies, or has become impracticable as a result of a
contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially adversely affects the London
interbank market;

then, and in each such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of
clause (i) above) shall (1) on or promptly following such date or time and (2) within 10 Business
Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent of such determination
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause
(i) above, the affected Type of Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as
the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation or Conversion given by the Borrower Representative
with respect to such Type of Eurocurrency Loans that have not yet been incurred, Converted or
Continued shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower Representative or, in the case of a Notice of
Borrowing, other than a Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, shall, at the option of the Borrower
Representative, be deemed converted into a Notice of Borrowing for Base Rate Loans to be made on
the date of Borrowing contained in such Notice of Borrowing, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above,
the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in
the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as
such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased
costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts
owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable,
submitted to the Borrower Representative by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the
Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and,
in any event, within the time period required by law.

     (b) At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in
Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower Representative may (and in the case of a Eurocurrency
Loan affected pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii), the Borrower Representative shall) either (i) if
the affected

46

 

Eurocurrency Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, by giving the
Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date
that the Borrower Representative was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii),
cancel said Borrowing, or convert the related Notice of Borrowing, other than a Borrowing of
Foreign Currency Loans, into one requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or require the affected
Lender to make its requested Loan as a Base Rate Loan, or (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is
then outstanding, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, require the
affected Lender to Convert each such Eurocurrency Loan into a Base Rate Loan, or, in the case of
Foreign Currency Loans, prepay in full such Foreign Currency Loans; provided, however, that if more
than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same
pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).

     (c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change
in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged by law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency,
in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing by an
amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material to the rate of return on such Lender’s or
its parent corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or its parent corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to
time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or its parent corporation for such reduction. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any
additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.01(c), will give prompt written
notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable
detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be
reasonable, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the
Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) upon the
subsequent receipt of such notice.

     Section 3.02 Breakage Compensation. The Borrowers shall compensate each Lender
(including the Swing Line Lender), upon its written request (which request shall set forth the
detailed basis for requesting and the method of calculating such compensation), for all reasonable
losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, cost, expense or
liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required
by such Lender to fund its Eurocurrency Loans or Swing Loans and costs associated with foreign
currency hedging obligations incurred by such Lender in connection with any Eurocurrency Loan)
which such Lender may sustain in connection with any of the following: (i) if for any reason (other
than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans or
Swing Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of
Continuation or Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower Representative or deemed
withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any repayment, prepayment, Conversion or
Continuation of any Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto or any Swing Loan is paid prior to the Swing Loan Maturity Date
applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurocurrency Loans is not made on any
date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; (iv) as a result of an assignment
by a Lender of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto pursuant to a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 3.05(b); or (v) as
a consequence of (y) any other default by the Borrowers to repay or prepay any Eurocurrency Loans
when required by the terms of this Agreement or (z) an election made pursuant to Section 3.05(b).
The written request of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive pursuant to this

47

 

Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such request within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     Section 3.03 Net Payments.

     (a) Except as provided for in Section 3.03(b), all payments made by the Borrowers hereunder,
under any Note or any other Loan Document, including all payments made by the Borrowers pursuant to
its guaranty obligations under Article X, will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other
charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding,
except as provided in this Section 3.03(a), any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net
profits of a Lender and franchise taxes imposed on it pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction
under which such Lender is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or
Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, as applicable, is located or any subdivision thereof or
therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded
taxes, levies imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
“Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrowers agree to pay the full
amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts (including additional amounts to compensate for
withholding on amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.03) as may be necessary so that every
payment by it of all amounts due hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document, after
withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes will not be less than the amount provided
for herein or in such Note or in such other Loan Document. The Borrowers will indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such
Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes imposed on and paid by such
Lender. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to this Section 3.03(a), the
Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes
imposed on or measured by the net income, profits or franchise of such Lender pursuant to the laws
of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or
Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is located, as the case may be, or under the laws of any
political subdivision or taxing authority therein, and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender
shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such reimbursement of
taxes, which request shall be accompanied by a statement from such Lender setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the computations used in determining such amounts. The Borrowers will furnish
to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes, or any
withholding or deduction on account thereof, is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of
tax receipts, or other evidence satisfactory to the respective Lender, evidencing such payment by
the Borrower.

     (b) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for federal income tax purposes and that is entitled to claim an exemption
from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to a payment by Borrowers agree to
provide to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing
Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 11.06 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder
immediately prior to such assignment or transfer and such Lender is in compliance with the
provisions of this Section), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, and from
time to time thereafter if required by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI,
W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or successor, substitute or other appropriate forms and, in the case of Form
W-8IMY, complete with accompanying Forms W-8BEN with respect to beneficial owners of the payment)
certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from or

48

 

a reduced rate of withholding of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement, any Note or
any other Loan Document, along with any other appropriate documentation establishing such exemption
or reduction (such as statements certifying qualification for exemption with respect to portfolio
interest). In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a
lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate
in any material respect, it will deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative
Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of the applicable Internal Revenue
Service form establishing such exemption or reduction (such as statements certifying qualification
for exemption with respect to portfolio interest) and any related documentation as may be required
in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or
reduction in United States withholding tax if the Lender continues to be so entitled. No Lender
shall be required by this Section 3.03(b) to deliver a form or certificate that it is not legally
entitled to deliver. The Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 3.03(a) hereof to
pay additional amounts on account of or indemnify with respect to United States withholding taxes
to the extent that such taxes arise solely due to a Lender’s failure to deliver forms that it was
legally entitled to but failed to deliver under this Section 3.03(b). The Borrowers agree to pay
additional amounts and indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 3.03(a) in respect
of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any
applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation
thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes.

     (c) If any Lender, in its sole opinion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably
received or been granted a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid
by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.03, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any
interest received in respect thereof), net of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses to the Borrower;
provided, however, that the Borrowers agree to promptly return any such refund (plus interest) to
such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing
authority. Any such Lender shall provide the Borrower Representative with a copy of any notice of
assessment from the relevant taxing authority (redacting any unrelated confidential information
contained therein) requiring repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an
obligation on any Lender to apply for any such refund.

     Section 3.04 Increased Costs to LC Issuers. If after the Closing Date, the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any LC Issuer or
any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency (in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date)
shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or
similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer or such Lender’s
participation therein, or (ii) impose on such LC Issuer or any Lender any other conditions
affecting this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or such Lender’s participation therein; and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such LC Issuer or such Lender of issuing,
maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such LC Issuer or such Lender hereunder (other than any increased cost or
reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the
rate of taxes or similar charges), then, upon demand to the Borrower Representative by such LC
Issuer or such Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such LC Issuer or such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate any such LC Issuer or such Lender for such increased cost or
reduction. A certificate submitted to the Borrower Representative by any LC Issuer or any Lender,
as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such LC Issuer or such Lender to
the Administrative Agent), setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for the determination of
such additional amount or amounts necessary

49

 

to compensate any LC Issuer or such Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error, although the failure to
deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations to pay
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.04.

     Section 3.05 Change of Applicable Lending Office; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Sections 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c), 3.03 or 3.04 requiring the payment of additional amounts to
the Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower Representative, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Applicable Lending
Office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event; provided, however, that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the
event giving rise to the operation of any such Section.

     (b) If (i) any Lender requests any compensation, reimbursement or other payment under Sections
3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), 3.01(c) or 3.04 with respect to such Lender, or (ii) the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to Section
3.03, then the Borrowers may, at their 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 the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c)), all its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (1) the Borrower
Representative shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (2) such Lender shall have received payment
of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other
amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02 hereof), and (3) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation, reimbursement or other payments required
to be made under Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.04 with respect to such
Lender, or resulting from any required payments to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to
Section 3.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation, reimbursement or
payments. 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
Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

     (c) Nothing in this Section 3.05 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the
Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04.

     Section 5.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any

     (b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Event will be used directly or indirectly to
purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations U or X of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than 25%
of the value of the assets of the Borrowers or of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries
that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation
U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock.

     Section 5.07 Financial Statements. The Borrower Representative has furnished to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of (i) the audited consolidated
balance sheets of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2006 and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity,
and cash flows of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years then
ended, accompanied by the report thereon of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; (ii) the Target Financials;
(iii) the unaudited quarterly
consolidated balance sheets of the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries as of March
31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows of
the Borrowers and their consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal period then ended, as included in
GII’s Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007,
respectively, filed with the SEC; (iv) financial projections through 2009 for the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries; and (v) the Projections. All such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the
financial position of the entities described in such financial statements as of the respective
dates indicated and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective
periods indicated, subject in the case of any such financial statements that are unaudited, to
normal audit adjustments, none of which will involve a Material Adverse Effect. The

56

 

Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred to
above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans
hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes, long-term lease
or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing financial
statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is material in
relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition or prospects
of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries.

     Section 5.08 Solvency. The Borrowers have received consideration that is the
reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrowers have incurred to
the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The Borrowers
now have capital sufficient to carry on their business and transactions and all business and
transactions in which it is about to engage and is now solvent and able to pay their debts as they
mature and the Borrowers, as of the Closing Date, owns property having a value, both at fair
valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required to pay the Borrowers’
debts; and the Borrowers are not entering into the Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay
or defraud their creditors. For purposes of this Section, “debt” means any liability on a
claim, and “claim” means (y) right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced to
judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed,
legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (z) right to an equitable remedy for breach of
performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable
remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured
or unsecured.

     Section 5.09 No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no
change in the financial or other condition, business, affairs or prospects of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or their properties and assets considered as an entirety,
except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.10 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
have filed all federal income tax returns and all other tax returns, domestic and foreign, required
to be filed by it and has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it that have become due, other
than those not yet delinquent and except for those contested in good faith. Each of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries have established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect
of taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required
by GAAP. Neither the Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries know of any proposed assessment for
additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, which,
individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in
respect thereof as the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have made, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.11 Title to Properties, etc. Each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
has good and marketable title, in the case of Real Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds,
in the case of any leased property), in the case of all other property, to all of its properties
and assets free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. The interests of the Borrowers and
their Subsidiaries in the properties reflected in the most recent balance sheet referred to in
Section 5.07, taken as a whole, were sufficient, in the judgment of the Borrowers, as of the date
of such balance sheet for purposes of the ownership and operation of the businesses conducted by
the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

     Section 5.12 Lawful Operations, etc. Each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries:

Effect; (ii) is in full compliance with all requirements imposed by law, regulation or rule,
whether foreign, federal, state or local, that are

57

properties and assets, including, without limitation, applicable requirements of Environmental

or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii)

and all other applicable federal, state or local laws governing the collection of debts and neither
Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries is in material violation of any of such laws; and (iv) is
in compliance with all federal, state and local privacy laws.

     Section 5.13 Environmental Matters.

     (a) Each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Environmental Laws,
except to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any resulting penalties, fines

their Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured and the Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except for such licenses, permits,
registrations or approvals the failure to secure or to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries have received
written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of or
default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to which the Borrower or
such Subsidiary is a party or that would affect the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to
operate any Real Property and no event has occurred and is continuing that, with the passage of
time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute noncompliance, breach of or default
thereunder, except in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults as would not
reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
Environmental Claims pending or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower, threatened herein an
unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property now or
at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or on any
property adjacent to any such Real Property, that are known by the Borrower or as to which the

(i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries
or any Real Property of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries; or (ii) to cause such Real
Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of
such Real Property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case, such Environmental Claims
or restrictions that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been (i) generated, used, treated or stored on,
or transported to or from, any Real Property of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or (ii)
released on any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence or event is not in

accordance with, in all material respects, such orders of all Governmental Authorities, except to
the extent that such Borrower or such Subsidiary is contesting such order in good faith and by

for any Real Property, the Borrower Representative will provide, at its sole cost and expense, an
environmental site assessment report concerning any such Real Property now or hereafter owned,

65

 

immediately, but in any event within 5 Business Days,
notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such event, identifying the Subsidiary in question
and referring specifically to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Section. The Borrower will, within 15 days following request therefor from the Administrative Agent

such Subsidiary to deliver to the Administrative Agent, in sufficient quantities for the Lenders,
(i) a joinder supplement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative

Representative shall cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such opinions of local
counsel, corporate resolutions and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the execution, delivery and recording of any such
Additional Security Document or joinder, all of which documents shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower or
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to deliver stock certificates (or the equivalent) or stock
powers (or the equivalent).

     (b) Foreign and Non-Material Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in subpart (a)

Subsidiary Guaranty or to become a party to the Security Agreement or any other Security Document,
if (A) to do so would subject such Borrower to liability for additional United States income taxes
by virtue of Section 956 of the Code in an amount such Borrower considers material, and (B) such
Borrower provides the Administrative Agent with documentation, including computations prepared by
such Borrower’s internal tax officer, its independent accountants or tax counsel, reasonably
acceptable to the Required Lenders, in support thereof.

     (c) Further Assurances. The Borrowers will, and will cause each of their respective
Subsidiaries to, at the expense of the Borrowers, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or

endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, and other assurances or instruments and take such
further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines,
based on applicable law, that all applicable taxes (including, without limitation, mortgage
recording taxes or similar charges) were not paid in connection with the recordation of any
mortgage or deed of trust, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the same upon demand.

business or financial covenant, including, without limitation, any “put” or mandatory prepayment of
such Indebtedness upon the occurrence of a “change of control”) that are applicable to any Loan
Party, other than those set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower
Representative shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, if the
Administrative Agent shall so request by written notice to the Borrower Representative (after a
determination has been made by the Required Lenders that such Material Indebtedness Agreement
contains any such provisions that either individually or in the aggregate are more favorable to the
holders of such Indebtedness than any of the provisions set forth herein), the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall promptly amend this Agreement to incorporate some or all
of such provisions, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, into
this Agreement and, to the extent necessary and reasonably desirable to the Administrative Agent
and the Required Lenders, into any of the other Loan Documents, all at the election of the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

     Section 6.12 Fiscal Years, Fiscal Quarters No Borrower shall change its or any of its
Subsidiaries’ fiscal years or fiscal quarters (other than the fiscal year or fiscal quarters of a

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 continuing 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

default.” If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give
prompt 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;
provided, however, 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.

     Section 9.06 Non-Reliance. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to
it and

78

 

that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including, without limitation,
any review of the affairs of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, 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, assets,
operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries 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 to make such investigation as it
deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and
other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial and
other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that
may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

     Section 9.07 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates,
participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s,
Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations
required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder,
including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the
“CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any
of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions
hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons
with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the CIP
Regulations or such other laws.

     Section 9.08 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that
is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the
applicable regulations because it is both (a) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign
bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (b) subject to
supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable,
recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as
required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (i) within 10 days
after the Closing Date, and (ii) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

     Section 9.09 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent
and its Related Parties, ratably according to their pro rata share of the Aggregate Credit Facility
Exposure (excluding Swing Loans), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any
kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the
payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
or such Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated
hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or such Related
Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the
foregoing is not paid by the Borrower; provided, however, that no

79

 

Lender shall be liable to the
Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements to the extent resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s or such Related
Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative
Agent or any such Related Parties for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative
Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional
indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional
indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of all
Obligations.

     Section 9.10 The Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates as
though not acting as Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made by it and all
Obligations owing to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent,
and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

     Section 9.11 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at
any time upon not less than 30 days notice to the Lenders, each LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in
consultation with the Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each LC Issuer, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
Representative and the Lenders that no such successor is willing to accept such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or any LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly,
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for
above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).
The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After
the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article and Section 11.02 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent.

     Section 9.12 Other Agents. Any Lender identified herein as a Co-Agent, Syndication
Agent, Documentation Agent, Managing Agent, Manager, Lead Arranger, Arranger or any other
corresponding title, other than “Administrative Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document except those
applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not
rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not
taking any action hereunder.

ARTICLE X.

GUARANTY

     Section 10.01 Guaranty by the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally
guarantee, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors, all of the following (collectively, the
“Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”): (a) all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings
with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of any LC Obligor (other than the
Borrowers) under this Agreement, and (b) all amounts, indemnities and reimbursement obligations,
direct or indirect, contingent or absolute, of every type or description, and at any time existing
owing by any Subsidiary under any Designated Hedge Agreement or any other document or agreement
executed and delivered in connection therewith to any Designated Hedge Creditor, in all cases under
subparts (a) or (b) above, whether now existing, or hereafter incurred or arising, including any
such interest or other amounts incurred or arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding or subject to an automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code). Upon failure by any Loan Party to pay punctually any of the Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations, the Borrowers shall forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent pay the amount not
so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in the manner specified in this Agreement or
any other applicable agreement or instrument.

     Section 10.02 Additional Undertaking. As a separate, additional and continuing
obligation, the Borrowers unconditionally and irrevocably undertake and agree, for the benefit of
the Benefited Creditors that, should any Borrower Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from any
Borrower under Section 10.01 for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of
any provision of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument executed in connection
therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under any applicable law)
then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any
of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, at any time, the Borrowers as sole, original
and independent obligors, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such obligations not so
recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such manner as is provided
in the Loan Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

     Section 10.03 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrowers under this
Article shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing
shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more times, of
any of the following:

     (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to the
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or
otherwise;

     (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan
Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Borrower Guaranteed
Obligation;

     (c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any
Borrower Guaranteed Obligations;

     (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party or other
Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any
Loan Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
obligation of any Loan

81

 

Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or
instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations;

     (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Borrowers may have at any
time against any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any
Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

     (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Loan Party for any
reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by
any Loan Party of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations; or

     (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the
provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers’ obligations
under this Section other than the irrevocable payment in full of all Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations.

     Section 10.04 Borrowers’ Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration. The Borrowers’
obligations under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall
have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Borrower Guaranteed
Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or other
Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to
any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full. If at any time any
payment of any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Loan Party, the Borrowers’
obligations under this Article with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as
though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

     Section 10.05 Waiver of Acceptance, etc. The Borrowers irrevocably waive acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any
requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any other Loan Party or any
other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person.

     Section 10.06 Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the
Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the Borrowers shall have no rights,
by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Section to be subrogated to
the rights of the payee against any other Loan Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to
be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Loan Party in respect thereof.

     Section 10.07 Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment
of any amount payable by any Loan Party under any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations is stayed
upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Loan Party, all such amounts otherwise
subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or
relating to any of the Borrower Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the
Borrowers under this Article forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

82

 

ARTICLE XI.

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.01 Payment of Expenses etc. The Borrowers agree to pay (or reimburse the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their Affiliates, as the case may be) all of the following:
(i) whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, but not limited to,
reasonable costs of external legal counsel) in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
syndication, administration and execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and
instruments referred to therein and the syndication of the Commitments; (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, but not limited to,
reasonable costs of external legal counsel) in connection with any amendment, waiver or consent
relating to any of the Loan Documents that are requested by any Loan Party; (iii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer, the Lenders and their
Affiliates in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents or the other documents
and instruments referred to therein, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of any individual counsel to the Administrative Agent and any Lender (including,
without limitation, allocated costs of internal counsel); (iv) any and all present and future stamp
and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent,
each LC Issuer and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to any
such indemnified Person) to pay such taxes.

     Section 11.02 Indemnification. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative
Agent, Lead Arranger, each LC Issuer, each Lender, and their respective Related Parties
(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses reasonably incurred by any of them as a result of,
or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of (i) any investigation, litigation or
other proceeding (whether or not any Lender or other Indemnitee is a party thereto) related to the
entering into and/or performance of any Loan Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans
hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, other than any
such investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of transactions solely between any of the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent, transactions solely involving the assignment by a Lender of
all or a portion of its Loans and Commitments, or the granting of participations therein, as
provided in this Agreement, or arising solely out of any examination of a Lender by any regulatory
or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, or (ii) the actual or alleged presence
of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of
any Real Property owned, leased or at any time operated by the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, the release, generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous
Materials at any location, whether or not owned or operated by the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, if such Borrower or any such Subsidiary could have or is alleged to have any
responsibility in respect thereof, the non-compliance of any such Real Property with foreign,
federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder)
applicable thereto, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries, in respect of any such Real Property, including, in the case of each of (i) and (ii)
above, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in
connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or of any other Indemnitee who is
such Person or an Affiliate of such Person). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay
or hold harmless any Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is
permissible under applicable law.

83

 

     Section 11.03 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender and each LC Issuer is
hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind to the Borrower Representative or to any other Person, any such notice being
hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or such LC Issuer
(including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Lender or LC Issuer
wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against and on account of
the Obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to such Lender or LC Issuer under this Agreement
or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all claims of any nature
or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or LC Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder and
although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.
Each Lender and LC Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Borrower Representative after any such set
off and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set off and application.

     Section 11.04 Equalization.

     (a) Equalization. If at any time any Lender receives any amount hereunder (whether by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s
lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or
otherwise) that is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other
than Swing Loans), LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are
intended to be paid solely to the Administrative Agent or an LC Issuer and amounts payable to a
Lender under Article III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other
Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such
Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately
prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash
without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations to such Lenders
in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such
amount.

     (b) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subparts (i) or
(ii) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

     (c) Consent of Borrower. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agrees, to the
extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

     Section 11.05 Notices.

     (a) Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly
permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subpart (c) below), all notices and

6.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (h) or (i) may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication

Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree
in a separate writing to accept notices and other communications to them hereunder by electronic

     Section 11.06 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns; provided, however, that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, provided, further, that
any assignment or participation
by a Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance
with this Section 11.06.

     (b) Participations. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its
rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible Assignee, provided that in the case of
any such participation,

85

 

     (i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights
against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement
executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto),

     (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

     (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations,

     (iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of the Obligations owing to it and of any Note
issued to it for all purposes of this Agreement, and

     (v) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall
be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that the participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the extent that such Lender would be
entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been entered into or sold,

and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which
the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final
scheduled maturity of the date of any Scheduled Repayment of any of the Loans in which such
participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees
thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s
participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being
understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the
terms of any such Commitment), (y) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or
release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (z) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers
of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

     (c) Assignments by Lenders.

     (i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans, LC
Participations, Swing Loan Participations and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations
hereunder to one or more Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this
Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that

     (A) except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the assigning Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another
Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender,
the aggregate amount of the Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes
the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not be less than, in the case of any
Revolving Commitment, $5,000,000, and in the case of any Term Commitment,
$1,000,000; provided that Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of such
minimum assignment amount;

86

 

     (B) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the time of any
such assignment the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the
Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders;

     (C) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender,
new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the
assigning Lender, to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments; and

     (D) unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender,
the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, provided that only one
such fee shall be payable in the event of a contemporaneous assignment to or by two
or more Approved Funds.

     (ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender
shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments.

     (iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), to a Person that is
not already a Lender hereunder and that is not a United States Person (as such term is
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective
assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent
the applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms (and any necessary additional documentation)
described in Section 3.03(b).

     (iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the
rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall
not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to
such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and
Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of
all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on
the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly
executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

     (v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is an
Approved Fund, a bank, trust company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes
or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank, or (B) any Lender that is an Approved Fund, a trust, limited liability
company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its Notes or Loans for the
benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities issued by it, including any such
pledge to any
trustee or agent for, or any other representatives of, such holder. No such pledge, or
any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a pledge, shall relieve the
transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

     (d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder
or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant
would require the Borrowers to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans
under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.

87

 

     (e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby
represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this
Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represents that it is a commercial lender,
other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that
makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire
Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject
to the preceding Sections 11.06(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other
evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its
exclusive control.

     (f) Non-Consenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, consent,
waiver, release or termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document that requires the consent of all the Lenders, and the consent of the Required Lenders is
obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is sought is not
obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose
individual consent is sought are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either
(A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more replacement Lenders in
accordance with the provisions set forth below so long as at the time of such replacement, each
such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B)
terminate each such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and repay the outstanding Loans of each
such non-consenting Lender; provided, however, that, unless the Commitments that are terminated and
the Loans that are repaid pursuant to the preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at
such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding
Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of
any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), each Lender (determined after giving effect to the
proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto. The Borrowers may, at the sole expense and
effort of the Borrowers, upon notice to any Lender that the Borrowers desire to replace pursuant to
clause (A) above, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.06(c)), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such
obligations; provided, however, that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its
Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued Fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Section 3.02
hereof).

     Section 11.07 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or
privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice
to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or any LC
Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default or Event of Default at the time. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender would otherwise have.

88

 

     Section 11.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the
State of New York.

     (b) Each of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally submit,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New
York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court
or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrowers or any other
Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     (c) Each of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     (d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for
notices in Section 11.05. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to
serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

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

     Section 11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same agreement. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the
Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

     Section 11.10 Integration. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate
letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and

89

 

benefit and/or for the account, benefit of, and distribution to, the Lenders, constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof
or thereof.

     Section 11.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several Sections and other
portions of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

     Section 11.12 Amendment or Waiver.

     (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may

(other than as a result of (x) waiving the applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates or (y) any amendment or modification of defined terms
used in financial covenants), without the written consent of such Lender (it being
understood that a modification to or waiver of Section 2.13(c)(iv), (v), (vi), or

Proceeds shall only require the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders and the

Participant, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the
payment of, interest thereon (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of

Lender; or

     (E) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of, or excuse the payment of,
any Fees to which any Lender is entitled hereunder, without the written consent of
such Lender; and

consent of each Lender affected thereby,

90

 

     (A) release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder,

     (B) release the Borrowers from their guaranty obligations under Article X or
release any Loan Party from the Subsidiary Guaranty, except, in the case of a
Subsidiary Guarantor, in accordance with a transaction permitted under this

connection with a transaction expressly permitted under this Agreement;

     (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.12, Section 8.03,
or any other provision of any of the Loan Documents pursuant to which the consent or

Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders; or

     (F) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers of any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement.

Any waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement given or made in accordance with this Section
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was
given or made.

     (iii) No change in, or waiver or other modification otherwise affecting, the amount or
time of payment of the Scheduled Repayments provided for in Section 2.13(b) to which a Term

     (d) To the extent the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, as applicable, as shall be
required by this Section) waive the provisions of Section 7.02 with respect to the sale, transfer
or other disposition of any Collateral, or any Collateral is sold, transferred or disposed of as
permitted by Section 7.02, (i) such Collateral shall be sold, transferred or disposed of free and
clear of the Liens created by the respective Security Documents; (ii) if such Collateral includes
all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary that is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty or whose stock
is pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement, such capital stock shall be released from the
Security Agreement and such Subsidiary shall be released from the Subsidiary Guaranty; and (iii)
the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to take actions deemed appropriate by it in order to
effectuate the foregoing.

     Section 11.13 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities set forth herein including,
without limitation, in Article III, Section 9.09 or Section 11.02 shall survive the execution and

91

 

     Section 11.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to
or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.01 resulting from any
such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent not otherwise
applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

     Section 11.15 Confidentiality.

     (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be
disclosed (1) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and
instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (2) to any direct or indirect
contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s
professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor)
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (3) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority, (4) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (5) to any other party to this Agreement, (6) to any other creditor of any
Loan Party that is a direct or intended beneficiary of any of the Loan Documents, (7) in connection
with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit,
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (8) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, (9) with the consent of the Borrowers, or (10) to the
extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section, or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any
Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party and not otherwise in
violation of this Section.

     (b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information received
from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided, however, that, in the case of information
received from the
Borrowers after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of
delivery as confidential.

     (c) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrowers hereby
agree that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender to comply with the
provisions of this Section shall not relieve the Borrowers, or any other Loan Party, of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

     Section 11.16 Limitations on Liability of the LC Issuers. The Borrowers assume all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with
respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any LC Issuer nor any of its officers or
directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit
or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the
validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such
documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;
(c) payment by an LC Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of
a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to

92

 

bear any reference or adequate reference
to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make
payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the LC Obligor shall have a claim against an LC
Issuer, and an LC Issuer shall be liable to such LC Obligor, to the extent of any direct, but not
consequential, damages suffered by such LC Obligor that such LC Obligor proves were caused by (i)
such LC Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented
under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such LC Issuer’s
willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of
documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an LC Issuer may accept documents that appear
on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

     Section 11.17 General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Loan
Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any other Person against the
Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, or any other Lender or the Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual compensatory
damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out
of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrowers, each
Lender, the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, waive, release and agree not to sue or counterclaim upon any such claim for any
special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or
suspected to exist in their favor.

     Section 11.18 No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other
professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such Person may
act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty
of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the
Borrowers, to any of its Subsidiaries, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within
the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such
representation. The Borrowers agree, on behalf of itself and its
Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to
such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known
or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.

     Section 11.19 Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrowers, etc. The relationship
among the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, each LC
Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and the
Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special
relationship with the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan
Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be
construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

     Section 11.20 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all LC Issuances hereunder, the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents the forms of which are attached
as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes, any disposition thereof by any holder
thereof, and any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other holder
of any of the Notes or on its behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or other
document delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Notes by or on
behalf of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or otherwise specifically for
use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and
warranties by the Borrowers hereunder, made as

93

 

of the respective dates specified therein or, if no
date is specified, as of the respective dates furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     Section 11.21 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 11.22 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action, event, condition or circumstance is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or
would otherwise be within the limitations or restrictions of, another covenant, shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or event, condition or
circumstance exists.

     Section 11.23 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 that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Base Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

     Section 11.24 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby
notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrowers in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

     Section 11.25 Judgment Currency. If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against the Borrowers in a Designated Foreign Currency,
the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall be
discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative
Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Designated Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent, in
accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such
Designated Foreign Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of
Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment
Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount that has accrued as a result of the failure of
the Borrowers to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes when it was originally due
hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”), the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the
Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been
purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Administrative Agent or such
Lender agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers.
