EXHIBIT 4.4

ESCROW AGREEMENT

     THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Escrow Agreement”), dated as of February 9, 2010 is entered into
by and among Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (the “Company”), Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the
“Dealer Manager”) and DST Systems, Inc., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

     WHEREAS, the Company intends to issue in a public offering (the “Offering”) shares of its
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), with anticipated gross proceeds of up to
$2,000,000,000 to investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”);

     WHEREAS, the Company has entered into that certain Exclusive Dealer Manager Agreement, dated
as of April 3, 2009, with the Dealer Manager, as amended (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), pursuant
to which the Dealer Manager is authorized to solicit and collect subscription funds on behalf of
the Company;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to deposit funds paid by the Investors with the Escrow Agent, to
be held for the benefit of the Investors and the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to accept the appointment as escrow agent upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Escrow of Investor Funds. The Company shall establish an escrow account with the Escrow Agent
(the “Escrow Account”). All funds received from Investors in payment for the Shares (“Investor
Funds”) will be delivered to the Escrow Agent by the Dealer Manager within one (1) business day
following the day upon which such Investor Funds are received by the Dealer Manager, and shall,
upon receipt of good and collected funds by the Escrow Agent, be retained in the Escrow Account by
the Escrow Agent. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Dealer Manager shall cause all
checks received by and made payable to the Company in payment for the Shares to be delivered to the
Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Investor Funds also may be wired directly to the
Escrow Account using wire instructions provided by the Escrow Agent.

2. Concerning the Escrow Agent and the Escrow Account. It is understood and agreed by the Parties
that the Escrow Agent is not a bank, but is the transfer agent for the Company pursuant to the
Agency Agreement, dated as of August 2009 by and between the Company and the Escrow Agent (the
“Agency Agreement”), and that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the
immediately following representation and warranty, the Escrow Account will not be a separate
account established solely for that purpose, but will be the same demand deposit account the
Escrow Agent uses in its capacity as transfer agent for the Company for the daily deposit and
withdrawal of funds in the daily course of the transfer agent’s business

 

 

on behalf of the Company. The Escrow Agent hereby represents and warrants that it has sufficient
and adequate controls to treat any Investor Funds in the Escrow Account subject to escrow under
Section 4(b) of this Agreement separately from any other moneys in the Escrow Account and to safe
keep such Investor Funds until they are distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 4(b).

3. Identity of Investors. The Dealer Manager shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery
of Investor Funds, a list of the Investors who have paid for the Shares showing the name, address,
tax identification number, amount of Shares subscribed for and the amount paid and deposited with
the Escrow Agent. This information comprising the identity of Investors shall be provided to the
Escrow Agent in the format set forth on Exhibit A to this Escrow Agreement (the “List of
Investors”). All Investor Funds so deposited shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the
Company or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until released
to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Company and the Escrow Agent will treat all Investor
information as confidential. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be
entitled to any Investor Funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the
property of the Company except when released to the Company as hereinafter provided. The Escrow
Agent shall not be required to accept any Investor Funds which are not accompanied by the
information on the List of Investors, and if such Investor Funds are not accepted by the Escrow
Agent, the Escrow Agent shall return such funds to the Dealer Manager.

4. Disbursement of Funds.

     (a) Subject to Section 4(b), the Escrow Agent shall release the Investor Funds to the Company
on daily basis in accordance with the standing joint instructions of the Company and Dealer Manager
to the Escrow Agent.

     (b) In the event that the Dealer Manager delivers written notice (a “Stop Notice”) to the
Escrow Agent that the conditions to the Dealer Manager’s obligations under the Dealer Manager
Agreement have not been fulfilled, within one business day of Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Stop
Notice, Escrow Agent shall commence holding the Investor Funds and shall not release the Investor
Funds to the Company in accordance with Section 4(a). Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall release
the Investor Funds, including all earnings thereon, in accordance with a written direction of the
Dealer Manager either: (i) to the Company or (ii) to the applicable Investor, within ten (10)
business days after receiving such written direction, by first class United States Postal Service
at the address appearing on the List of Investors, or at such other address or federal wire
instructions as are furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Investor in writing, all collected sums
paid by the Investor for Shares and received by the Escrow Agent. In the event the Escrow Agent
has not received such written direction from the Dealer Manager within one hundred eighty (180)
days of its receipt of the Stop Notice, the Escrow Agent may be discharged of its duties and
obligations hereunder upon its deposit, at any time after a written notice is given to all the
parties hereto, of the Investor Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New
York. The parties hereto agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any such court, and
consent to service of process by hand delivery or mail delivery thereof to their respective
addresses set forth in Section 7 hereof.

5. Term of Escrow.

     (a) The Escrow Agreement shall terminate (subject to the continuing provisions set forth in
subsection 5(b)) upon the conclusion of the Offering, which is expected to occur on or about July
12, 2012 (the “Termination Date”); provided however, that in all events this Escrow Agreement shall
terminate early upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the date the Escrow Agent receives
written notice from the Company that it is abandoning the sale of the Shares; (ii) the date the
Escrow Agent receives notice from the SEC or any other federal or state regulatory authority that a
stop or similar order has been issued with respect to the Offering; (iii) the date the Escrow Agent
deposits the Investor Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York
pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Agreement; or (iv) the date the Escrow Agent institutes an
interpleader or similar action. After the Termination Date, the Company shall not deposit, and the
Escrow Agent shall not accept, any additional amounts representing payments by prospective
Investors. The Company may extend the Offering beyond its anticipated expiration, and in such an
event shall provide notice to Escrow Agent that the Termination Date has been extended to the date
set forth in such notice.

     (b) In the event that the Escrow Agreement is terminated as set forth in Section 4(a) and
Investor Funds remain in the Escrow Account as of the Termination Date, Escrow Agent may, in its
sole discretion (1) continue to hold the Investor Funds in the Escrow Account until the Dealer
Manager notifies Escrow Agent as to the manner in which the Escrow Account should be liquidated, or
(2) institute an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights
of the parties. So long as any Investor Funds remain in the Escrow Account, the provisions of this
Agreement set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 shall remain in full force and effect,
notwithstanding termination of the Escrow Agreement.

6. Duty and Limitation on Liability of the Escrow Agent.

     (a) The Escrow Agent’s rights and responsibilities shall be governed solely by this Escrow
Agreement. Neither the Offering document, nor any other agreement or document shall govern the
Escrow Agent even if such other agreement or document is referred to herein, is deposited with, or
is otherwise known to, the Escrow Agent.

     (b) The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to determine whether the Company is complying with
the requirements of the Offering or applicable securities or other laws in tendering the Investor
Funds to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for, or be required to
enforce, any of the terms or conditions of any Offering document or other agreement between the
Company and any other party.

     (c) The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting upon
any statement, certificate, notice, request, consent, order or other document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent
shall have no duty or liability to verify any such statement, certificate, notice, request,
consent, order or other document. Upon or before the execution of this Escrow Agreement, the
Company and the Dealer Manager shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the

- 3 -

 

Certificate as to Authorized Signatures set forth in Exhibit B to this Escrow Agreement.

     (d) The Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to institute and/or defend any action, suit
or proceeding in connection with this Escrow Agreement unless first indemnified to its
satisfaction.

     (e) The Escrow Agent may consult counsel of its own choice with respect to any question
arising under this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken
or omitted in good faith upon the advice of such counsel.

     (f) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct
was the primary cause of loss.

     (g) The Escrow Agent is acting solely as escrow agent hereunder and owes no duties, covenants
or obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, to any person by reason of this Escrow Agreement, except as
otherwise explicitly set forth in this Escrow Agreement, and no implied duties, covenants or
obligations, fiduciary or otherwise, shall be read into this Escrow Agreement against the Escrow
Agent.

     (h) In the event of any disagreement between any of the parties to this Escrow Agreement, or
between any of them and any other person, including any Investor, resulting in adverse or
conflicting claims or demands being made in connection with the matters covered by this Escrow
Agreement, or in the event that the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to what action it should take
hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it,
or refuse to take any other action hereunder, so long as such disagreement continues or such doubt
exists, and in any such event, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any
person for its failure or refusal to act, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue so to
refrain from acting until (i) the rights of all interested parties shall have been fully and
finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) all differences shall have been
adjudged and all doubt resolved by agreement among all of the interested persons, and the Escrow
Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing signed by all such persons. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Escrow Agent may in its discretion obey the order, judgment, decree or levy of any
court, whether with or without jurisdiction and the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized in its sole
discretion to comply with and obey any such orders, judgments, decrees or levies.

     (i) The Company hereby irrevocably directs the Escrow Agent that upon the Escrow Agent’s
receipt of a Stop Notice, it shall ignore any notices from the Company regarding or pertaining to
the disposition of moneys in the Escrow Account that is not also signed by the Dealer Manager
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Agency Agreement and regardless of whether
the Escrow Agent is acting in its capacity as Escrow Agent under the terms of this Agreement or as
transfer agent to the Company under the terms of the Agency Agreement.

- 4 -

 

     (j) In the event that any controversy should arise with respect to this Escrow Agreement, the
Escrow Agent shall have the right, at its option, to institute an interpleader action in any court
of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights of the parties.

     (k) The parties agree that the Escrow Agent had no role in the preparation of the Offering
documents, has not reviewed any such documents, and makes no representations or warranties with
respect to the information contained therein or omitted therefrom.

7. No Escrow Agent Fee. The Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to additional compensation for its
services under this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the
disbursement of funds under this Escrow Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders
any material service not contemplated in this Escrow Agreement, or there is any assignment of
interest in the subject matter of this Escrow Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if
any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation
relating to this Escrow Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be
reasonably compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, occasioned by any delay, controversy, litigation
or event, and the same shall be paid by the Company under and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6 of the Agency Agreement. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7 shall survive
the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the assignment or termination of this Escrow
Agreement.

shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of service if

Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower
in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment;
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans,

the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section
2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.
Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein,
provided, however, all Borrowings made on the Closing Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender
severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in
Dollars on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Amounts
repaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or

30

 

(c) Increases of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Outstanding Amount of the Term
Loan. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least five Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and/or the
Outstanding Amount of the Term Loan by up to $75,000,000 in the aggregate at any time prior to the
date that is six months prior to the Maturity Date, subject, however, in any such
case, to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which such increase
is to become effective;

(ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VI shall be true
and correct on and as of the date on which such increase is to become effective, except to
the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date,
in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date;

(iii) the Borrower may only request an increase pursuant to this Section
2.01(c) up to three times during the term of this Agreement;

(iv) such increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and the aggregate amount of all increases shall
not exceed $75,000,000;

(v) such requested increase shall only be effective upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of (A) additional Commitments in a corresponding amount of such requested increase
from either existing Lenders and/or one or more other institutions that qualify as Eligible
Assignees (it being understood and agreed that no existing Lender shall be required to
provide an additional Commitment) and (B) documentation from each institution providing an
additional Commitment evidencing its additional Commitment and its obligations under this
Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received all documents (including resolutions
of the board of directors of the Borrower and the Guarantors) it may reasonably request
relating to the corporate or other necessary authority for such increase and the validity of
such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and/or the Outstanding Amount of the
Term Loan, and any other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

(vii) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of the increase in the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments and/or the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loan, the Borrower shall, if
applicable, prepay one or more existing Loans (such prepayment to be subject to
Section 3.05) in an amount necessary such that after giving effect to the increase
in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and/or the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loan, each
Lender will hold its pro rata share (based on its Applicable Percentage of the increased
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and/or the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loan) of
outstanding Loans.

In the case of an increase in the amount of the Term Loan after the first principal
amortization payment date, adjustments will be made to the schedule of amortization payment
provided in Section 2.07(c), as appropriate, to give effect thereto such that the
interest in payments of principal, interest and other amounts will be made on the same basis
as for the underlying Term Loan such that the principal amortization payments made to the
holders of the Term Loan will not

 

31

 

be less than that which was payable prior to giving effect to the increase in the amount of
the Term Loan.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative
Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of
Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must
be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections
2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a
conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii)
the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be
a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv)
the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to
specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted
to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a
Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice
of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent
either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount
of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there
are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to the
Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of
a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without

 

32

 

the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of
the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the
Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest
Periods in effect at any one time with respect to Revolving Loans and five Interest Periods in
effect at any one time with respect to the Term Loan.

directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C
Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C
Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or
shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems
material to it;

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
such L/C Issuer applicable to borrowers generally;

satisfactory to such L/C Issuer with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to
eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender.

(iv) An L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be
permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
hereof.

(v) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if
(A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in
its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such L/C Issuer
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in
Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer
Documents pertaining to such

 

34

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the
Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy
thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the
Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested
date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a
Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into
the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C
Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter
of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage
times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of
Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit
such L/C Issuer to prevent any such

 

35

 

extension 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 (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period
to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by
applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such
L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued,
the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C
Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not
later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that
such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined
that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the
provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has
received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven
Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that
the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each case
directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the
applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true
and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the
applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”),
the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount
equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer
by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and
the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on
the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum
and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans,
but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of
a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by such
L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such
notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C
Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage
of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such
notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section
2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Base Rate Loan

 

36

 

to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot
be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the
applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not
so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with
interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving
Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn
under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the applicable L/C
Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the
Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount
of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as
provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from
such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which
such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing
or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If
such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so
paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant
Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A
certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

37

 

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in
respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative
Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related
Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the
Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned
under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the
Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable
L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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, or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit, or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

38

 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that
is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions
or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C
Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility
to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required
by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C
Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties or any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any
action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving
Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or
enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.
The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this
assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and
remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.
None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable or responsible for any of
the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided,
however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower,
to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary,
damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be
in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information
to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or
the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the
applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit
and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each
case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.
Sections 2.05 and 9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash
Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and
Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, as
collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers (which documents
are hereby consented to by the Revolving Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding
meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C
Issuers and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in

 

39

 

all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of
America.

(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of
Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit
fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate
times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit
Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such
Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii)
computed on a quarterly basis in arrears; provided that (1) no Letter of Credit Fees shall
accrue in favor of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Revolving Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender and (2) any Letter of Credit Fees accrued in favor of a Defaulting Lender during the period
prior to the time such Revolving Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall
not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Revolving Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. If
there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be
drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required
Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default
Rate.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with
respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter or
otherwise specified by the applicable L/C Issuer, computed on the daily amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a quarterly basis in arrears. Unless otherwise agreed by
the applicable L/C Issuer, such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended
quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance
with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the applicable L/C
Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as
from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and
payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of
Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account
of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder
for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the
Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Subsidiaries.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lender may, in its discretion and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving
Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line
Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability
Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line
Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as
Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the
proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this
Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section
2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at a rate based on the Base Rate.
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify
(i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a
Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A)
directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set
forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on
the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan
available to the Borrower.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal
to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then

 

41

 

outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be
deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section
5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect
to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount
specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in
the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be
deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified
in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which
such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with
the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan
included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan,
as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund
risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have
against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
(B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02.
No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of
the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

42

 

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account
of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its
Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender
shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative
Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of
the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving
Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line
Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the
Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

(i) Revolving Loans and Term Loan. The Borrower may, upon notice from the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Revolving Loans and the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding); (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire
principal amount thereof then outstanding) and (D) any prepayment of the Term Loan
(including prepayments pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(vii)) shall be applied as specified by
the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event the
Borrower fails to specify the how the prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment of the
Term Loan shall be applied ratably to the remaining principal amortization payments. Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to
be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such
Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.
If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall

 

43

 

be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be
applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages.

(ii) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily
prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall
be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(i) Revolving Commitments. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings
at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall
immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant
to this Section 2.05(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving
Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments then in effect.

(ii) Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions. No later than the first
Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net
Cash Proceeds from all Dispositions (other than Permitted Transfers) and Involuntary
Dispositions, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations as hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash
Proceeds, unless (x) a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, (y) the
aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from the Closing Date through the applicable date of
determination that have not been applied to the prepayment of Loans do not exceed (1) with
respect to all Dispositions, $5,000,000 or (2) with respect to all Involuntary Dispositions,
$5,000,000 as applicable, and (z) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
at such time; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment
Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the
relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.05(b)(vi).

(iii) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. Within 105 days after the end of each
fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as hereafter provided in an
aggregate amount equal to (x) 50% (if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of
such fiscal year is equal to or greater than 1.0 to 1.0) of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow
for such fiscal year minus (y) voluntary prepayments of the Loans during such fiscal year
(excluding prepayments of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans except to the extent
the Revolving Commitments are permanently reduced in connection with such prepayments);
provided, however, if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last
day of such fiscal year is less than 1.0 to 1.0, then the Borrower shall not be required to
make the foregoing payment for such fiscal year.

(iv) Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the
Loans and/or Cash

 

44

 

Collateralize the L/C Obligations as hereafter provided in an aggregate amount equal to
100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(v) Equity Issuances. Immediately upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the
Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 50% (if
the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of the preceding fiscal quarter is
greater than 1.0 to 1.0) of such Net Cash Proceeds or 25% (if the Consolidated Total
Leverage Ratio as of the end of the preceding fiscal quarter is equal to or less than 1.0 to
1.0) of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(vi) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied as follows:

(A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(i),
first, ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans,
second, to the outstanding Revolving Loans, and, third, to Cash
Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations; and

(B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections
2.05(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), first to the
Term Loan (ratably to the remaining principal amortization payments),
second, ratably to the L/C Borrowings and the Swing Line Loans,
third, to the outstanding Revolving Loans, and, fourth, to Cash
Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations (without a corresponding reduction in
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in the cases of clauses second through
fourth).

Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be
applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans in direct order
of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.05(b)
shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium or penalty,
and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the
date of prepayment.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an
amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction,
(ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount
of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of
termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its
Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such
termination.

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

 

45

 

(b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to
occur of (i) the first Business Day of the next succeeding month after such Swing Line Loan is made
and (ii) the Maturity Date.

(c) Term Loan. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term
Loan in installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the table below (as such
installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section
2.05), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 9.02:

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the applicable borrowing

 

46

 

date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii)
each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any
Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees.

In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:

(a) Commitment Fee. During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage,
a commitment fee equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual
daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding
Amount of Revolving Loans and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee
shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or
more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period;
provided that (1) no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitment of a
Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (2) any commitment fee
accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to
the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the
Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fee shall be
calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any
quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of
clarification, Swing Line Loans shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining the
unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

 

47

 

(b) Fee Letters. The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent
for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to
Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent
of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio would have
resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be
obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the
applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or,
after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the
Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the
amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest
and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section
2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(i) or 2.08(b) or under Article IX. The
Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.11 Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.
Each such promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.11(a) (a “Note”). Each
Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount
and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing

 

48

 

the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender
has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section
2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to
be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower
and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount
of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make
such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
applicable L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may

 

49

 

assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact
made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.

(f) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward 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 (ii) second, toward
payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled
thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the

 

50

 

Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest
on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or (B) any payment obtained by an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender to secure the
obligations of Defaulting Lenders or Impacted Lenders to fund such risk participations or
(C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof
(as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents 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 such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a)  Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws
be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however,
applicable Laws require any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any
Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by
such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the
information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Internal
Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup
withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall
withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be
required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection
(e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal Revenue
Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as
necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C

 

51

 

Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c) Tax Indemnification. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, the Loan Parties shall, and do hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and each L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent or
paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and
any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Loan Parties shall also, and do
hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within
ten days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any
reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of
this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered
to the Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or
by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and
each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative
Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor,
against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties,
interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender
or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy,
inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or
such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to
subsection (e). Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this
clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent,
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other
Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to
a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Loan Party, as the case
may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Law to report such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be.

 

52

 

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or
when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder
or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax
purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such
other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or any
applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect
to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally
entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party,

(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and
all required supporting documentation,

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is
not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, or

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws
as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States

 

53

 

Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation
as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any
jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction
for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as
the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain
or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar
Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such
Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then,
on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation
of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans
to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and despite the illegality for such a Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate
Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is based on the Eurodollar Rate, that Lender
shall remain committed to make Base Rate Loans and shall be entitled to recover interest at

 

54

 

the Base Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with a Eurodollar Rate Loan does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders
to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon
the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a
request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or

 

55

 

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on
a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or
in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
11.13; or

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

56

 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this
Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by
it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and
for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender,
any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
then such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07 Survival.

All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and
resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTY

4.01 The Guaranty.

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate
of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract or a Treasury Management Agreement with any Loan Party
or any Subsidiary, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not
as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a
mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly
in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the
Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment,
by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly
and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly
paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a

 

57

 

mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, the obligations of each Guarantor
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to the
largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under applicable Debtor
Relief Laws.

4.02 Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability
of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution,
release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations,
and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance
whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor
agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article
IV until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired
or terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or
impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as
described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or
other documents relating to the Obligations shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under
any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations shall be waived or
any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released,
impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any other holder
of the Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be
perfected; or

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including,
without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be
subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or
proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other document relating to the
Obligations, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the
Obligations.

 

58

 

4.03 Reinstatement.

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in
respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the
Obligations, whether as a result of any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees
that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each other holder of the Obligations on demand
for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in
defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent
transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.

Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the
Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02
and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

4.05 Remedies.

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Obligations, on the
other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as specified in
Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances specified in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or
preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person
and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become
automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other
Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section
4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in
accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the holders of the Obligations may
exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.06 Rights of Contribution.

The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each
Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable
law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights
of contribution until all Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.

4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a
continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to enter into this Agreement and to make
each Credit Extension to be made thereby, each Loan Party represents and warrants to each Lender
and each L/C Issuer, on the Closing Date and on each date of each Credit Extension, that the

Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and each HMO Subsidiary: (i) has obtained and maintains in

as at the respective dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows, on a consolidated
basis, of the entities described therein for each of the periods then ended, subject, in the case
of any such unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from audit and normal year end
adjustments and the absence of footnotes. As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of

period of fiscal year 2010 through and including fiscal year 2013 included in the Confidential
Information Memorandum dated January 2010 delivered to the Lenders (the “Projections”) are
based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of the Borrower;
provided that the Projections are not to be viewed as facts, and actual results during the
period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from such Projections and the differences
may be material; provided further, as of the Closing Date, management of the
Borrower believed in good faith that the Projections were reasonable and attainable.

6.09 No Material Adverse Change.

 

64

 

Since December 31, 2009, no event, circumstance or change has occurred that has caused or
evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, other than any

or to any such events, developments or occurrences) that have been disclosed by the Borrower after
December 31, 2009 and on or prior to the Closing Date in any public filing on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q
or Form 8-K.

6.10 [Intentionally Omitted].

is in violation of any applicable laws (including Environmental Laws) that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) is subject to or
in default with respect to any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations
of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.12 Payment of Taxes.

Except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.03, all federal income and all other
material tax returns and reports of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any
of them have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and
all material assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises which
are due and payable have been paid when due and payable. The Borrower knows of no proposed tax
assessment against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary
objects and which is not being actively contested by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings; provided, such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if
any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor.

6.13 Properties.

(a) Title. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has (i) good, sufficient and

accurate and complete list of (i) all Material Real Estate Assets and (ii) all leases, subleases or
assignments of leases (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or
extensions of any thereof) affecting each Material Real Estate Asset of any Loan Party, regardless
of whether such Loan Party is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or
successor in interest) under such lease, sublease or assignment. Each agreement listed in clause
(ii) of the immediately preceding sentence is in full force and effect, the Borrower does not have
knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing

 

65

 

thereunder and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of
each applicable Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms,
except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

6.14 Environmental Matters.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or
operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement
with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous
Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter
or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law. There are and, to
each of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or
Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an
Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present
treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of the Borrower’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of
hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent. Compliance with
all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws
could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any
Hazardous Materials Activity that individually or in the aggregate has had, or could reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

6.15 No Defaults.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance
or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its
Contractual Obligations and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of
time or both, could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect,
of such default or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

6.16 Material Contracts.

Schedule 6.16 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts
in effect on the Closing Date. All Material Contracts are in full force and effect, and the
Borrower has no knowledge of the existence of any current defaults thereunder that, individually or
in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.17 Governmental Regulation.

Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is subject to regulation under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation that may limit its ability to
incur Indebtedness or that may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations
unenforceable. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment
company” or a company “controlled”

 

66

 

by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment
company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

6.18 Margin Stock.

The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important
activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock.

6.19 Employee Matters.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor
practice complaint pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board
and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining
agreement that is so pending against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in
existence or threatened involving the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (c) to the best
knowledge of the Borrower, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, no union
organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause
(a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.20 Employee Benefit Plans.

The Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in
compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code
and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Pension Plan or
Multiemployer Plan and have performed all their obligations under each Pension Plan or
Multiemployer Plan. Each Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which is intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan is so qualified
and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause
such Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC
(other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Pension Plan or
Multiemployer Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA in connection with a Pension
Plan or a Multiemployer Plan has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur. No Pension Plan is in “at risk status” as defined in Section 430(i)(4) of the
Code (without regard to the transition rule set forth in Section 430(i)(4)(B)). As of the most
recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the
potential liability of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a
complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA),
when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer
Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. The Borrower,
each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of
Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as
defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

 

67

 

6.21 Insurance.

The Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have insurance (including worker’s compensation
insurance, liability insurance, casualty insurance and business interruption insurance) with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts
(after giving effect to self insurance consistent with the self insurance of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as in effect on the Closing Date), with such deductibles and covering such risks as
are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in
localities where the applicable Loan Party or the applicable Subsidiary operates. The property and
general liability insurance coverage of the Loan Parties as in effect on the Closing Date is
outlined as to carrier, policy number, expiration date, type, amount and deductibles on
Schedule 6.21.

trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses
and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) that are reasonably
necessary for the operation of their respective businesses. Set forth on Schedule 6.23 is
a list of all IP Rights registered or pending registration with the United States Copyright Office
or the United States Patent and Trademark Office and owned by each Loan Party as of the Closing
Date. Except for such claims and infringements that could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or
questioning the use of any IP Rights or the validity or effectiveness of any IP Rights, nor does
any Loan Party know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the
Loan Parties, the use of any IP Rights by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or the granting of a
right or a license in respect of any IP Rights from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary does not
infringe on the rights of any Person. As of the Closing Date, none of the IP Rights owned by any
Loan Party is subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement except as set forth on
Schedule 6.23.

6.24 Compliance with Statutes, etc.

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law and
all applicable restrictions imposed by all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of
its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable HMO
Regulations, Medicare Regulations and Medicaid Regulations and applicable provisions of HIPAA, the
HITECH Act and Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business
and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such
Real Estate Asset or the operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), except such
non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing with respect to the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries:

(a) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor (to the Borrower’s knowledge)
any individual employed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, would reasonably be
expected to have criminal culpability or to be excluded from participation in any Medical
Reimbursement Program as a result of individual or corporate actions or failures to act
where such culpability or exclusion has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result
in an Exclusion Event that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

 

68

 

(b) no officer continuing to be employed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may
reasonably be expected to have individual culpability for matters under investigation by the
OIG or other Governmental Authority unless such officer has been, within a reasonable period
of time after discovery of such actual or potential culpability, either suspended or removed
from positions of responsibility related to those activities under challenge by the OIG or
other Governmental Authority;

(c) current billing policies, arrangements, protocols and instructions comply with
requirements of Medical Reimbursement Programs and are administered by properly trained
personnel, except where any such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to
result in an Exclusion Event that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and

(d) current medical director compensation arrangements and other arrangements with
referring physicians comply with state and federal anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, and
self-referral law requirements, including the requirements of the Stark Law, except where
any such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to result in an Exclusion Event
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.25 Disclosure.

The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in any Loan Document or in
any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact (known to the Borrower, in the case of any document
not furnished by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries) necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were
made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any projections and pro forma financial information contained
in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of the
Borrower, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to
be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such
projections may differ from the projected results and the differences may be material. There are
no facts known (or that should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to the Borrower
(other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed
herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Regulations or binding rules of professional conduct, except to the extent that the same,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Arranger will
make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers materials and/or information provided by or on
behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the
Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and
(b) certain of the Lenders (each a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to
receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the
respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other
market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees
that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly
and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall
appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the
Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the L/C Issuers
and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal
and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower
Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07); (y)
all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated as “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable
only for posting on a portion of the Platform that is not marked as “Public Side Information.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC.”

Except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.08, each Loan Party will and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times:

(a) Preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights and franchises,
licenses and permits material to its business; provided, no Loan Party (other than the
Borrower with respect to existence) or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any
such existence, right or franchise, license or permit if such Person’s board of directors (or
similar governing body) shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to the Lenders; and

(b) Preserve and maintain (i) the licensing and certification of each HMO Subsidiary pursuant
to the HMO Regulations; (ii) all certifications and authorizations necessary to ensure that the HMO
Subsidiaries are eligible for all reimbursements available under the HMO Regulations to the extent
applicable; and (iii) all licenses, permits, authorizations and qualifications required under the

extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.03 Payment of Taxes and Claims.

Each Loan Party will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all federal income taxes
and all other material Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of
any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon and all
claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due
and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior
to the time when any penalty or

 

75

 

fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it
is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently
conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserves or other appropriate provision, as shall be required in
conformity with GAAP, shall have been made therefor and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has
or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate
to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or claim. No Loan Party
will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, file or consent to the filing of any
consolidated income tax return with any Person (other than the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries).

7.04 Maintenance of Properties.

Each Loan Party will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be
maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all
material properties used or useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and from
time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements
thereof, except to the extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable
insurers, such public liability insurance, third party property damage insurance and casualty
insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and
businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or maintained under
similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each
case in such amounts (giving effect to self insurance), with such deductibles, covering such risks
and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained (a)
flood insurance with respect to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that
participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any
applicable regulations of the FRB and (b) replacement value casualty insurance on the tangible
Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts (giving
effect to self insurance that is consistent with self insurance of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as in effect on the Closing Date), with such deductibles and covering such risks as
are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established
reputation engaged in similar businesses. Each such policy of insurance shall (i) name the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Obligations, as an additional insured
thereunder as its interests may appear, (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain
a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative
Agent, that names the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Obligations, as the
lender’s loss payee thereunder and provides for at least thirty days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy.

relation to its business and activities and (ii) maintain such books of record and accounts in
material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having
regulatory jurisdiction over the Borrower or such Subsidiary; and

(b) Each Loan Party will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any authorized

Party and

 

76

 

any of its respective Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their
financial and accounting records and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with
its and their officers and independent public accountants, all upon reasonable notice and at such
reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested;
provided that (i) this Section 7.06(b) shall not apply to HMO Subsidiaries to the
extent prohibited by any Requirements of Law, (ii) a representative of the Borrower shall be given
the opportunity to be present for any communication with the Borrower’s independent accountants,
(iii) the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay the expenses of more than one such visit and
inspection during any fiscal year of the Borrower unless any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (iv) each Lender shall coordinate with the Administrative Agent the
frequency and timing of any such visits and inspections so as to reasonably minimize the burden and
expense imposed on the Loan Parties.

(c) During the course of the aforementioned visits, inspections and discussions,
representatives of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may encounter individually identifiable
healthcare information or other confidential information relating to healthcare patients
(collectively, the “Confidential Healthcare Information”). Unless otherwise required by
law, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective representatives, shall not
disclose, compile, aggregate, remove from the properties of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or record in any manner any Confidential Healthcare Information, and shall not require the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries to violate any laws, regulations or ordinances intended to protect the
privacy rights of healthcare patients, including HIPAA and the HITECH Act.

7.07 [Intentionally Omitted].

Except to the extent noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party will and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries and, to the extent feasible using commercially reasonable efforts, all other Persons,
if any, on or occupying any Facilities to (i) comply with the requirements of all applicable Laws,
(including the Social Security Act, Medicare Regulations, Medicaid Regulations, HIPAA, the HITECH
Act and all Environmental Laws); and (ii) ensure that billing policies, arrangements, protocols and
instructions will comply with reimbursement requirements under Medical Reimbursement Programs, to
the extent applicable to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and will be administered by properly
trained personnel.

individually or in the aggregate, has a reasonable possibility of resulting in a Material
Adverse Effect and (3) the Borrower’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real

occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(iii) as soon as practicable following the sending or receipt thereof by the Borrower

Effect.

Subsidiary) of the Borrower, the Borrower shall (i) promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary to
become a Guarantor hereunder and a Grantor under the Security Agreement by executing and delivering
to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement and (ii) take all such

terminated;

obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of each L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit
Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and
all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall
automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender.

to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees)

Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and
unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings and fees, premiums
and scheduled periodic payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap
Contract between any Loan Party or any Subsidiary and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a
Lender, ratably among the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts, Affiliates of
Lenders) and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Third held by them;

Fourth, to (a) payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, (b) payment of breakage, termination or other
payments, and any interest accrued thereon, due under any Swap Contract between any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender,(c) payments of amounts
due under any Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party or any Subsidiary and any
Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender and (d) Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C
Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among
the Lenders (and, in the case of such Swap Contracts and Treasury Management Agreements,
Affiliates of Lenders) and the L/C Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described
in this clause Fourth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn
amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy
drawings under such Letters

 

96

 

of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all
Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and no Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable), potential counterparty to a Swap Contract and potential counterparty to a Treasury
Management Agreement) and each of the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of
acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties
to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any
portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all
provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as
though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.02 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as
if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:

 

97

 

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the
value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition
is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent

 

98

 

accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.05 Delegation of Duties.

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

10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a
bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. 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 the L/C
Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (a) 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 the L/C Issuers 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 (b) 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 each L/C Issuer
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this Section. 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
Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same
as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 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.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and as Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii)
the successor

 

99

 

L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring
L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such
Letters of Credit.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

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

10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial

and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations arising under
the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be

making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.

particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.

OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE

any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no
event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any
other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to

Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.

No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and
the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its
benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may

accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any

provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the
rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 and (ii) in
addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject
to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any

Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold

 

105

 

each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee),
incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Loan
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or

terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any Environmental Claims related in any way to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or
by any Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against
an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on
such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by
them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an L/C Issuer or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the applicable L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an L/C Issuer in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.12(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against
any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined
by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

106

 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten
Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.

11.05 Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or
such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not
occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date

sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other

transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with

the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of
this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing
to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

 

107

 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the related Loans at the time owing to it or in
the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,
no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less
than $5,000,000 in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment (and the
related Revolving Loans thereunder) and $2,500,000 in the case of an assignment of
Term Loans unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to
an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and
rights and obligations with respect thereto, assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall
not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line
Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and
obligations in respect of its Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving Loans
thereunder) and its outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis;

except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of
(1) any Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the Commitment subject
to such assignment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuers (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the
obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of
Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

 

108

 

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving
Loans and Revolving Commitments.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells

 

109

 

such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will
not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant.
Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of
this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Lender acting as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, such Lender may, (i) upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an
L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In
the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be
entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of such Lender as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may
be. If a Lender resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing
Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with
respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (1) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning L/C Issuer to effectively
assume the obligations of the resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws
or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any
Eligible Assignee invited to become a Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(c) or (ii) any actual
or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a
Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan
Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as
the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

11.08 Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after
obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such
L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan
Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such L/C
Issuer different from the branch or office holding such

 

111

 

deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and
their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates
may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other
parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.

11.12 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable

 

112

 

provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders.

If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but
requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable)
or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 11.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any
amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure
to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such
Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair
the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of
such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless
be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and
Assumption.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

113

 

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY

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 ANY L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN
PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH 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) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS

THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

11.15 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

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.

 

114

 

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document),
each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding,
that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the

Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting,

To the fullest extent permitted by Law, each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any

Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall
