$____________                                                    XXXXXX, __ 2008

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Salon Media Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay to ________________________ (the "Holder"), or its
registered assigns, the principal sum of Dollars ($_________), or such lesser
amount as shall then equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together
with simple interest from the date of this Note on the unpaid principal balance
at a rate equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) per annum. The interest
rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a
year of 365 days. Such interest shall be payable in semi-annual installments
and, at the option of the Company, may be paid in cash or by the delivery of a
note in substantially the same form as this Note for an amount equal to the
interest payment then due Holder. All unpaid principal, together with the unpaid
and accrued interest payable hereunder, if not converted by the provisions of
Section 5 below, shall be due and payable on demand at any time after the
earlier of (i) March 31, 2012 (the "Maturity Date"), (ii) when such amounts are
declared due and payable by the Holder upon or after the occurrence of an Event
of Default (as defined below) or (ii) in the event of a Change of Control. This
Note is one of a series of Convertible Promissory Notes containing substantially
identical terms and conditions issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement
dated April 4, 2008 (the "Purchase Agreement"), and the holders of the Notes are
referred to herein as the "Holders."

     The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions
to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance
of this Note, agrees:

     1. Definitions. As used in this Note, the following capitalized terms have
the following meanings:

          (a) "Change of Control" shall mean (i) the acquisition of the Company
by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions
(including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation); or

case, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the
acquisition or sale, as the case may be, do not hold a majority of the

<PAGE>

outstanding shares of capital stock of the surviving corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed a Change of
Control if the sole purpose of the transaction is to change the state of the
Company's incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in
substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company's
securities immediately prior to such transaction.

          (b) "Common Stock" shall mean the Company's common stock.

          (c) "Obligations" shall mean all principal and accrued interest due
hereunder.

          (d) "Original Conversion Price" shall mean the volume-weighted price
per share of Common Stock on the five (5) trading days prior to the date of
initial Closing under the Purchase Agreement. Such Initial Conversion Price
shall be adjusted to stock splits and the like.

          (e) "Subsequent Conversion Price" shall mean the higher of (i) the
volume-weighted price per share of Common Stock on the five (5) trading days
prior to the closing date of a subsequent Closing which the Holder participated
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Original Conversion Price. Such
Subsequent Conversion Price shall be adjusted to stock splits and the like.

     2. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Note:

          (a) Failure to Pay. The Company shall fail to pay (i) when due any
principal payment on the due date hereunder or (ii) any interest or other
payment required under the terms of this Note on the date due, and such payment
shall not have been made within ten (10) days of the Company's receipt of the
Holder's written notice to the Company of such failure to pay;

          (b) Voluntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. The Company shall
(i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator
or custodian of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii)
make a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors, (iii)
be dissolved or liquidated in full or in part, (iv) become insolvent (as such
term may be defined or interpreted under any applicable statute), (v) commence a
voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other
relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect or consent to any such relief or to
the appointment of or taking possession of its property by any official in an
involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or (vi) take any
action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

          (c) Involuntary Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. Proceedings for
the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or custodian of the Company

majority in interest of the then outstanding Loan Amounts (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) (the "Majority Holders"), the Company's material breach of
any representation, covenant or agreement contained in this Note or the Purchase
Agreement, which such breach is not cured by the Company within ten (10) days
after written notice thereof is given to the Company by the Holder.

     3. Rights of Holder Upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any
Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event
of Default, upon the written consent of the Majority Holders, Holder may declare
all outstanding Obligations payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing
remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, upon the
written consent of the Majority Holders, the Holder may exercise any other
right, power or remedy granted to it or otherwise permitted to it by law, either
by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

     4. Prepayment; Payment After Maturity Date Without Demand. This Note may
not be prepaid in whole or in part at any time by the Company without the prior
written consent of the Holder.

     5. Optional Conversion.

          (a) At any time Holder may convert all of the principal and accrued
interest then outstanding under the Note into Common Stock. The number of shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion shall be equal to the Obligations divided
by (i) the Original Conversion Price if the Holder participated in the initial
Closing or (ii) the Subsequent Closing Price if the Holder participated in a
subsequent Closing.

          (b) Fifteen (15) days prior written notice (the "Company Notice")
shall be delivered to the Holder of this Note at the address last shown on the
records of the Company for the Holder or, if no such address appears, at the
place where the principal executive office of the Company is located, notifying
the Holder of the terms and conditions of a Change of Control, the price per
share to be paid to holders of Common Stock in such Change of Control and
calling upon such Holder, if conversion is elected by the Holder, to surrender
to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated, the Note. If the
Holder elects to convert this Note (or elects to have the Note repaid in full by
the Company in the case of a Change of Control), the Holder shall provide
written notice to the Company no later than five (5) days after the Company
Notice is deemed given.

          (c) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of this Note. Upon the conversion of all of the principal and accrued
interest outstanding under this Note, in lieu of the Company issuing any
fractional shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder the amount
of outstanding principal and accrued interest that is not so converted. Upon
full conversion of this Note, the Company shall be forever released from all its
obligations and liabilities under this Note.

sell shares of its common or preferred stock or an instrument convertible into
its common or preferred stock or (b) issue and sell debentures or enter into any
new indebtedness (in either case a "Financing"), then the Holders of the first
$1 million in principal of the Notes issued hereunder may choose to exchange the
outstanding principal balance and accrued interest due under this Note for new
securities issued on the same terms and conditions of the Financing. If the
Company completes a Financing in excess of $500,000, then this Right of Exchange
will terminate 30 days following notice of such a Financing being given to these
Holders.

Holder of this Note shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns,
heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.

     8. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived
or modified upon the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders.
Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7 shall be
binding upon the Company, the Holders and each transferee of a Note.

Obligations of this Note shall require the consent of the Holder of this Note.

any restrictive legend set forth hereon. Each new Note issued upon transfer of
this Note shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on
transferability in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless in the opinion of counsel for the
Company such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the
Securities Act. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer
agent in connection with such restrictions. Prior to presentation of this Note
for registration of transfer, the Company shall treat the Holder as the owner
and registered holder of this Note for the purpose of receiving all payments of

case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or by irrevocable written notice (via a
written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower) not later than four (4) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency), in each case before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b)
by telephone in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one
(1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice
of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by
Section 2.06(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the
proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such
telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Agreed Currency and initial Interest
Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of
the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then, in the case of a Borrowing
denominated in Dollars, the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no
Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Determination of Dollar Amounts. The Administrative Agent will
determine the Dollar Amount of:

(a) each Eurocurrency Borrowing as of the date of a Borrowing Request or, if applicable, the
date of an Interest Election Request,

(b) the LC Exposure as of the date of each request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit, and

(c) all outstanding Credit Events on and as of the last Business Day of each calendar quarter
and, during the continuation of an Event of Default, on any other Business Day elected by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders.

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the
preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each
Credit Event for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such day.

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower from time to
time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that
will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding
$20,000,000 or (ii) the Dollar Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the
Aggregate Commitment; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a
Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the
Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means
of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the
case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire
participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each
Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as
provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph
is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans
made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline
Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and
thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and
not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or
other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the
Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to
the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to
this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that
any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower
for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph
shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated
in Agreed Currencies for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In
the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower
to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, if the Issuing
Bank is requested to issue Letters of Credit with respect to a jurisdiction the Issuing Bank deems,
in its reasonable judgment, may at any time subject it to a New Money Credit Event or a Country
Risk Event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Issuing Bank, guaranty and indemnify the
Issuing Bank against any and all costs, liabilities and losses resulting from such New Money Credit
Event or Country Risk Event, in each case in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuing Bank.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication,
if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the
Agreed Currency applicable thereto, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the
Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that),
after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Dollar Amount of the
LC Exposure shall not exceed $20,000,000, (ii) subject to Section 2.04, the sum of the Dollar
Amount of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (iii)
subject to Section 2.04, the Dollar Amount of the total outstanding Revolving Loans and LC
Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies, shall not exceed the Foreign Currency
Sublimit.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date;
provided that, upon the Borrower’s request, any such Letter of Credit which expires in the
final year prior to the Maturity Date may have an expiry date which is no later than the date which
is one year after the Maturity Date if cash collateralized in compliance with Section 2.06(j) below
(each such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Letter of Credit”).

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

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent in Dollars the Dollar Amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date the
Issuing Bank made such LC Disbursement (or if the Issuing Bank shall so elect in its reasonable
discretion by notice to the Borrower, in such other Agreed Currency which was paid by the Issuing
Bank pursuant to such LC Disbursement in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement) not later than
12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower
receives such notice; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the Dollar
Amount of $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein,
request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving
Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent Dollar Amount of such LC Disbursement and, to the
extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such
payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section
2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from
the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for
any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to
reimburse, any amounts in any Foreign Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if
such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, the Borrower shall, at its option,
either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or the relevant Lender or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Foreign Currency in
Dollars, in an amount equal to the Equivalent Amount, calculated using the applicable exchange
rates, on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the
Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or
failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.

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

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement
is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or in the case such LC
Disbursement is denominated in a Foreign Currency, at the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate for such
Agreed Currency plus the then effective Applicable Rate with respect to Eurocurrency
Revolving Loans); provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement
when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such
payment.

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

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (x) any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC
Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph or (y) the Borrower requests the issuance of an Extended
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the
name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “LC Collateral
Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure in respect
of such Extended Letter of Credit (in the case of the foregoing clause (y)) or in the aggregate (in
the case of the foregoing clause (x)) as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Foreign Currency
Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in a Foreign Currency that the Borrower is not late in
reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Foreign Currencies in the actual amounts of such
undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash
collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the Foreign Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the applicable exchange
rates of the Administrative Agent on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered
to the Borrower. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and
to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent
(or another financial institution selected by the Administrative Agent and (so long as an Event of
Default has not occurred and is then continuing) approved by the Borrower, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, pursuant to control or blocked account agreements with such
financial institution and in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as
collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the
Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which
investments shall be made at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear
interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall
be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure
at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to
satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the
extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days
after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any
date pursuant to Article VII, all amounts (i) that the Borrower is at the time or thereafter
becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC
Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of
which the Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to paragraph (j) above, if such cash
collateral was deposited in the applicable Foreign Currency to the extent so deposited or applied),
(ii) that the Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to
the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC
Disbursements made under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Lender’s
participation in any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made
shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Amount,
calculated using the Administrative Agent’s currency exchange rates on such date (or in the case of
any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such
amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall
accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) in
the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, to the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and
(ii) in the case of each Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency, by 10:00 a.m., Local Time, in the
city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency and at such
Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made
as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the
Borrower in the relevant jurisdiction and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
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 paragraph (a) of this Section 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 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 (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight
Foreign Currency Rate in the case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency) or (ii) in the case
of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing. If such Lender pays such amount
to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing.

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

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such election (by telephone in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars or by
irrevocable written notice (via an Interest Election Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a
Foreign Currency) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the
Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made
on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and
signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be
construed to permit the Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing, (ii) elect an
Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert
any Borrowing to a Borrowing of a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to
which such Borrowing was made.

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency
Borrowing; and

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) in the
case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing
and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency in respect of which the
Borrower shall have failed to deliver an Interest Election Request prior to the third Business Day
preceding the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a
Eurocurrency Borrowing in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month unless such
Eurocurrency Borrowing is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.11. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so
long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving
Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (and any such Eurocurrency
Revolving Borrowing in a Foreign Currency shall be redenominated in Dollars at the time of such
conversion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

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

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $20,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Dollar Amount of the sum of the Revolving Credit
Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Commitment.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of
the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a)The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date in the currency of such
Loan and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on
the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the
15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline
Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower
shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 2.11(a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of
prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any
prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later
than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three (3) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in Dollars) or four (4) Business Days (in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency), in each case before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1)
Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan,
not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section
2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in
accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a
Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in
the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each
prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.13 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.16.

(b) If at any time, (i) the sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the
Revolving Credit Exposures (calculated, with respect to those Credit Events denominated in Foreign
Currencies, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit Event) exceeds
the Aggregate Commitment or (ii) solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the
sum of the aggregate principal Dollar Amount of all of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC
Exposure, in each case denominated in Foreign Currencies (collectively, “Foreign Currency
Exposure”), as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Credit Event,
exceeds 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall immediately repay Borrowings or
cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.06(j), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause (x) the aggregate
Dollar Amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures (so calculated) to be less than or equal to the
Aggregate Commitment and (y) the Foreign Currency Exposure to be less than or equal to the Foreign
Currency Sublimit.

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

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at
the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving
Loans on the average daily Dollar Amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion
thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates
and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a
fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily Dollar Amount
of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank during the period from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the
date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees and
commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer,
presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.
Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and
including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the
third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on
which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

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

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars (except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Section 2.12) and immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of
commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under
any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. Each Swingline Loan shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate or at an alternate rate separately
agreed upon between the Borrower and the Swingline Lender.

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

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or
other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus
the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in
paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments;
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be
payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest
on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan prior to the
end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

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

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective
and shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and
(ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in Dollars, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (and if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency
Revolving Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing Request shall be
ineffective); provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one
Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

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

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan
(including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an
Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to increase the cost
to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
(including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in an
Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed Currency) or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of
principal, interest or otherwise (including, without limitation, pursuant to any conversion of any
Borrowing denominated in an Agreed Currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other Agreed
Currency), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right
to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate
a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, 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 the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any
Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or
(d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any
such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable
to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the
last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over
(ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for
deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the
eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

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

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes imposed on or incurred by the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank,
within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

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

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocations of Proceeds; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of
Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section
2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to (i) in the case of payments denominated in Dollars, 2:00
p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of payments denominated in a Foreign Currency, 2:00
p.m., Local Time, in the city of the Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such
currency, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency
in which the applicable Credit Event was made (or where such currency has been converted to euro,
in euro) and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, Chicago,
Illinois 60603 or, in the case of a Credit Event denominated in a Foreign Currency, the
Administrative Agent’s Eurocurrency Payment Office for such currency, except payments to be made
directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the
same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in
the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any
Credit Event in any Foreign Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the
country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit
Event was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Borrower is not able to
make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency,
then all payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when
due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such
payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrower takes all risks of the
imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting a
specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which
shall be applied as specified by the Borrower) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, such funds
shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements
including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower
(other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations), second,
to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in
connection with Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest
then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, fifth, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent
equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash
collateral for such Obligations, sixth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to
Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations, and seventh, to the payment of any other
Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless
a Default is in existence, none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall apply any payment
which it receives to any Eurocurrency Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable to any such Eurocurrency Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the
extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans of the same Class and, in any event, the Borrower
shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and
reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC
Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all
reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the
Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a
request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or
may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent.
The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the
purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any
other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute
Loans (including Swingline Loans) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been
requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent
to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or
Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder
or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

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

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
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 Issuing Bank, 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 Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation (including without limitation the Overnight Foreign Currency Rate in the
case of Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency).

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received
by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or
2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the
Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting
from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Expansion Option. The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase
the Commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term
Loan”), in each case in minimum increments of $25,000,000 so long as, after giving effect
thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases and all such Incremental Term Loans does not exceed
$200,000,000 (in addition to the principal amount of the Aggregate Commitment on the Effective
Date). The Borrower may arrange for any such increase or tranche to be provided by one or more
Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, or to participate in such
Incremental Term Loans, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial
institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an
“Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments, or to participate in such
Incremental Term Loans, or extend Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each
Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute
an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, and (y) in the case of an
Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit D hereto. Increases and new Commitments and Incremental Term Loans
created pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders and the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase
in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) or tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall
become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such
increase or Incremental Term Loans, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent
shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial
Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with the covenants contained in Section 6.12 and
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the
Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after
giving effect to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments or any
Incremental Term Loans being made, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall
make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the
Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in
order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments
to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders
to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) except in the case
of any Incremental Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all
outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such
reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if
applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in
respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to
the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the
related Interest Periods. The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari passu in right of payment
with the Revolving Loans, (b) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have
amortization prior to such date) and (c) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any
event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans; provided that (i) the terms and
conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date may
provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment
requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (ii) the Incremental Term
Loans may be priced differently than the Revolving Loans. Incremental Term Loans may be made
hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of
this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each
Augmenting Lender participating in such tranche, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The
Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such
amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20.

SECTION 2.21. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions
referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Credit Event to be effected in any
Foreign Currency, if (i) there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Credit Event any change
in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates
or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank (if such Credit Event is a Letter of Credit) or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for
the Eurocurrency Borrowings or Letters of Credit comprising such Credit Event to be denominated in
the Agreed Currency specified by the Borrower or (ii) an Equivalent Amount of such currency is not
readily calculable, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the
Borrower, the Lenders and, if such Credit Event is a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, and such
Credit Events shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall, except as otherwise set
forth in Section 2.07, be made on the date of such Credit Event in Dollars, (a) if such Credit
Event is a Borrowing, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the aggregate
principal amount specified in the related request for a Credit Event or Interest Election Request,
as the case may be, as ABR Loans, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least
one Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects
to borrow on such date in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the
denomination of such Loans would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Amount of
the aggregate principal amount specified in the related request for a Credit Event or Interest
Election Request, as the case may be or (b) if such Credit Event is a Letter of Credit, in a face
amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the face amount specified in the related request or
application for such Letter of Credit, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at
least one (1) Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to request the issuance of such
Letter of Credit on such date or (ii) it elects to have such Letter of Credit issued on such date
in a different Agreed Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Letter of
Credit would in the reasonable opinion of the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders be practicable and in face amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the face amount
specified in the related request or application for such Letter of Credit, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.22. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to
be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could
purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New
York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is
given. The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the
specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in
such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance
with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other
currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due
to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the
Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds
(a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the
specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such
excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.18, such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

SECTION 2.23. Senior Debt. The Borrower hereby designates all Secured Obligations now
or hereinafter incurred or otherwise outstanding, and agrees that the Secured Obligations shall at
all times constitute, senior indebtedness and designated senior indebtedness, or terms of similar
import, which are entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions of all Subordinated
Indebtedness.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as
now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and
is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. Schedule
3.01 hereto (as supplemented from time to time with respect to Material Subsidiaries)
identifies each Subsidiary, noting whether such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary, the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and
outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the
Borrower and the other Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors’
qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class issued and outstanding. All of
the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of each Material Subsidiary are
validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable and all such shares and other
equity interests indicated on Schedule 3.01 as owned by the Borrower or another Subsidiary
are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary free and clear of all
Liens, other than Liens created under the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding commitments or
other obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other
rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than pursuant to Convertible Subordinated Indebtedness,
employee stock options, employee benefit plans, unvested shares and restricted stock.

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

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect
and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will
not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational
documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority,
(c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument
binding upon any Loan Party or Pledge Subsidiary or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder
to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, other than Liens created under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,
stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007
reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal
quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, certified by its chief financial
officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit
adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii)
above.

(b) Since October 31, 2007, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had,
or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries has
good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its
business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its
business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

(b) Each of the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all
trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its
business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries does not infringe upon
the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

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

(b) Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply
with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become
subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any
Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

(c) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is party or subject to any law, regulation, rule
or order, or any obligation under any agreement or instrument, that has a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon
it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or
caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused
to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable,
has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably
expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements,
instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject,
and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the
other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information,
the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.12. Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan have
been used or will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation
of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X.

SECTION 3.13. Liens. There are no Liens on any of the real or personal properties of
the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

SECTION 3.14. No Default. The Borrower is in full compliance with this Agreement and
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.15. No Burdensome Restrictions. The Borrower is not subject to any
Burdensome Restrictions except Burdensome Restrictions permitted under Section 6.08.

SECTION 3.16. Insurance. The Borrower maintains, and has caused each Subsidiary to
maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance on all their real and
personal property in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions and
covering such properties and risks as are adequate and customarily maintained by companies engaged
in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

SECTION 3.17. Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, and such Liens
constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations,
enforceable against the applicable Loan Party, and having priority over all other Liens on the
Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted
Encumbrances would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to
any applicable law and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any
certificate of title) to the extent the Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain
possession of such Collateral.

Until the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer
or other executive officer of the Borrower setting forth the details of the event or development

SECTION 5.03. Existence; Conduct of Business. The Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Material Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and

the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the
Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in

its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (b) maintain

of its Subsidiaries at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the
policies or insurance required herein or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto,
then the Administrative Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligations or resulting Default
hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no obligation to do so) obtain

affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such
reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. The Borrower acknowledges that the
Administrative Agent, after exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and distribute to the
Lenders certain reports pertaining to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ assets for internal use by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws and Material Contractual Obligations. The Borrower

Environmental Laws) and (ii) perform in all material respects its obligations under material
agreements to which it is a party, in each case except where the failure to do so, individually or

SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used only to finance
the working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions),
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. No part of the proceeds

of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X.

SECTION 5.09. Subsidiary Guarantors; Pledges; Additional Collateral; Further
Assurances.

(a) Prior to the Applicable Deadline (or such later date as may be agreed upon by the
Administrative Agent) after any Person becomes a Subsidiary or any Subsidiary qualifies
independently as, or is designated by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as, a Material
Subsidiary or is designated by the Borrower as a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower shall provide
the Administrative Agent with written notice thereof setting forth information in reasonable detail
describing the material assets of such Person and shall cause each such Subsidiary which also
qualifies as a Subsidiary Guarantor to deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder to the
Subsidiary Guaranty and the Security Agreement (in each case in the form contemplated thereby)
pursuant to which such Subsidiary agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, such
Subsidiary Guaranty and the Security Agreement to be accompanied by appropriate corporate
resolutions, other corporate documentation and legal opinions in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. As used in this Section 5.09,
“Applicable Deadline” means (i) in the case of a Subsidiary formed or acquired as a result
of an acquisition, thirty (30) days following formation or acquisition and (ii) in all other cases,
sixty (60) days following the date on which the Borrower files its annual tax returns;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.09(a),
the Administrative Agent may, from time to time in its sole discretion, require that the Borrower
promptly deliver, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such request, all necessary calculations
demonstrating which of its Subsidiaries would qualify as a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the
definition of “Material Subsidiary” and “Subsidiary Guarantor” as of the date of such request, and,
to the extent that any such Subsidiary is not then party to the Subsidiary Guaranty and the
Security Agreement, the Applicable Deadline shall mean thirty (30) days (or such later date as may
be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) following the date of delivery of such calculations.

(b) The Borrower will cause, and will cause each other Loan Party to cause, all of its owned
property (whether personal, tangible, intangible, or mixed but excluding Excluded Assets) to be
subject at all times to first priority, perfected Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations to secure the Secured Obligations in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents, subject in any case to Liens permitted
by Section 6.02. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will cause the
Applicable Pledge Percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Pledge
Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to be subject at all times to a
first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the Secured
Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents or such other
security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Notwithstanding the
foregoing no such pledge agreement in respect of the Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary shall
be required hereunder to the extent the Administrative Agent or its counsel determines that such
pledge would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Holders of Secured
Obligations pursuant to legally valid, binding and enforceable pledge agreements.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such
documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions
(including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings and other documents
and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which
may be required by law or which the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request
to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to ensure
perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents,
all at the expense of the Borrower.

(d) If any assets are acquired by a Loan Party after the Effective Date (other than Excluded
Assets and assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement that become subject to the
Lien in favor of the Security Agreement upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will notify the
Administrative Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will
cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations and will take, and
cause the other Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph
(c) of this Section, all at the expense of the Borrower.

Permitted Investments (which are not subject to any Lien and which would be included on the
consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP as of such
date of determination) of not less than $300,000,000.

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause
(h) or (i) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the
Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i)
terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii)
declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any
principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable),
and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued
interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become
due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and
the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees
and other Secured Obligations accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall
automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any

continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the
Required Lenders shall, exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under
the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or
Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty
under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the
foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any
Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in
their respective capacities as Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as applicable, as it makes
with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, in accordance with Section
9.08, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that
it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or with
respect to any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may
be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the consent of the Administrative
Agent.

The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or
omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent)
authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right
on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after
the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Holders of Secured
Obligations within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform
Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the
Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents.
Each Lender agrees that no Holder of Secured Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent)
shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral
Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations upon the terms of
the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as
collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and
hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Holders of Secured
Obligations any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such
Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations.
The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) as
described in Section 9.02(d); (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the
applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant
hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to
the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the
Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute
such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations herein or pursuant
hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the
Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any
obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or
warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured
Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of) all
interests retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds
of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

The Borrower, on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, and each Lender, on its behalf
and on the behalf of its affiliated Holders of Secured Obligations, hereby irrevocably constitute
the Administrative Agent as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir within
the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec) in order to hold hypothecs and security
granted by the Borrower or any Subsidiary on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of
Quebec to secure obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any bond, debenture or similar
title of indebtedness issued by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement,
and agree that the Administrative Agent may act as the bondholder and mandatary with respect to any
bond, debenture or similar title of indebtedness that may be issued by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary and pledged in favor of the Holders of Secured Obligations in connection with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the special
powers of legal persons (Quebec), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent may acquire and
be the holder of any bond issued by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with this
Agreement (i.e., the fondé de pouvoir may acquire and hold the first bond issued under any deed of
hypothec by the Borrower or any Subsidiary).

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any documents necessary
or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge for the benefit of the Holders of Secured
Obligations including a right of pledge with respect to the entitlements to profits, the balance
left after winding up and the voting rights of the Borrower as ultimate parent of any subsidiary of
the Borrower which is organized under the laws of the Netherlands and the Equity Interests of which
are pledged in connection herewith (a “Dutch Pledge”). Without prejudice to the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the
creation of parallel debt obligations of the Borrower or any relevant Subsidiary as will be
described in any Dutch Pledge (the “Parallel Debt”), including that any payment received by
the Administrative Agent in respect of the Parallel Debt will conditionally upon such payment not
subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application be deemed a
satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Obligations, and any
payment to the Holders of Secured Obligations in satisfaction of the Obligations shall
conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any
provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar
laws of general application be deemed as satisfaction of the corresponding amount of the Parallel
Debt. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of a Dutch Pledge, any
resignation by the Administrative Agent is not effective until its rights under the Parallel Debt
are assigned to the successor Administrative Agent.

Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
parties hereto acknowledge and agree for the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing
validity of German law governed pledges (Pfandrechte) with the creation of parallel debt
obligations of the Borrower as will be further described in a German law governed parallel debt
undertaking. The Administrative Agent shall (i) hold such parallel debt undertaking as fiduciary
agent (Treuhänder) and (ii) administer and hold as fiduciary agent (Treuhänder) any pledge created
under a German law governed Pledge Agreement which is created in favor of any Secured Party or
transferred to any Secured Party due to its accessory nature (Akzessorietät), in each case in its
own name and for the account of the Secured Parties. Each Lender (on behalf of itself and its
affiliated Secured Parties) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter as its
representative its name and on its behalf into any German law governed Pledge Agreement, accept as
its representative in its name and on its behalf any pledge or other creation of any accessory
security right in relation to this Agreement and to agree to and execute on its behalf as its
representative in its name and on its behalf amendments, supplements and other alterations to any
such Pledge Agreement and to release on behalf of any such Lender or Secured Party any such Pledge
Agreement and any pledge created under any such Pledge Agreement in accordance with the provisions
herein and/or the provisions in such Pledge Agreement.

hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall

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

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.20 with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment,
neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or
by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that any increase in the Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.20 shall only require the consent of the parties contemplated by Section
2.20), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of
interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of
any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any
Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change
Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this
Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number
or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (it being
understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.20 to be parties to
an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of
Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Revolving Loans are
included on the Effective Date), (vi) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors
from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender,
or (viii) except as provided in clause (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release
all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended
(or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more credit facilities (in
addition to the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment) to this
Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the
accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans and the accrued interest
and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit
facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in
its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties
on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full
in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash
collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower certifies to the
Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without
further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to the Borrower or any Subsidiary under a
lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv)
as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any
exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Any such
release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other
than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all
interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall
continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of
“each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained,
but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is
necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the
Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided
that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase
for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment
and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all
obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the
requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting
Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts
then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including
the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender
under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been
due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such
Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc., including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative
Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the
internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and
any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans
made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, penalties and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit
if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory 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, penalties or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, 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
(it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the
Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); 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, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and 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 or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after
written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund
or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Issuing Bank.

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

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

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect
of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the
assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and

(E) in no event may the Borrower or its Affiliates or a natural person be a
permitted assignee hereunder.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning:

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

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

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

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

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

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or
2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the 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 2.17 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 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

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

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

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

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED 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 PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

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

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g)
with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by the Borrower. 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.

SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the
“Act”) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the such Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.14. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the
UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than
the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall
deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in
accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.
