     SECTION 3. Registered Exchange Offer.

     (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission
policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), each of the
Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause to be filed with the Commission as soon as practicable
after the Closing Date, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange
Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become effective at the earliest possible time, (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A)
all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a post-effective amendment to
such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all
necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities
to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to
permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) promptly upon the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the
appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for
the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Initial Securities held by
Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof.

     (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the
minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the
Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days
after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. The Company shall cause the
Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities
other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be
Consummated no later than 360 days after the Closing Date (or if such 360th day is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day).

     (c) The Company shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus

Initial Securities that are Transfer Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own
account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer
Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such Initial Securities
pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities
received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be
satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other
information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order
to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such
Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to
the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this
Agreement.

     Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required
by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for
resales of Initial Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from
the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date
on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with
market-making or other trading activities.

     The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to
Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the
foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales.

     SECTION 4. Shelf Registration.

     (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company is not required to file an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not
permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)
hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated within
360 days after the Closing Date (or if such 360th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day), or (iii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies the Company prior to
the 20th Business Day following consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder is
prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B)
such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the
public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such
Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of
its affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request, the Company and the Guarantors shall

     (x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in
either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) on or prior to the earliest to occur of
(1) the 30th day after the date on which the Company determines that it is not required to
file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (2) the 30th day after the date on which the
Company receives notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities as contemplated by
clause (ii) above, and (3) the 360th day after the Closing Date (or if such 360th day is not
a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (such earliest date being the “Shelf
Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all
Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information
required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and

     (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 90th day after the

-5-

 

Shelf Filing Deadline (or if such 90th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day).

     Each of the Company and the Guarantors shall use its best efforts to keep such Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the
provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available
for resales of Initial Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the
benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years following the effective date of
such Shelf Registration Statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Initial
Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement).

     (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted
Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such
Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 Business Days after receipt of a request
therefor, such information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any
Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder
as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the
Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

     SECTION 5. Additional Interest. If (i) any of such Registration Statements has not been
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in
this Agreement (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated
within 360 days after the Issue Date or (iii) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement
is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for
its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective
(each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company
hereby agrees that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased
by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any
Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day
period, but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum. Following the cure of all
Registration Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the interest rate
borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate
borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction
in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant
Transfer Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

     All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that
are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases
to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with
respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full.

     SECTION 6. Registration Procedures.

     (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company
and the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof,
and shall comply with the following provision:

     (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to
whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the
Guarantors hereby agrees to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the
Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such
Initial Securities. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees to pursue the
issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take
commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. Each of the
Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate in telephonic
conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by
counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has
concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursue a
favorable resolution by the Commission staff of such submission.

     (b) Conditions. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon the
request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written representation to the Company
(which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not
engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any
Person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange
Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of business, and (D)
include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or
underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Company’s preparations for the Exchange
Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using
the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the
Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement
rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc.
(available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988),
as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar
no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above),
and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction
should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder
information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of
Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such
Holder directly from the Company

-7-

 

     (c) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, each
of the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto each of the Company and the Guarantors will prepare and
file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate
form under the Securities Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer
Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof.

     (d) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any Prospectus
required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities
(including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus required to
permit resales of Initial Securities by Broker-Dealers), each of the Company and the Guarantors
shall:

     (i) use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if required by the
Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial statements of the Guarantors for the
period specified in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event
that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to
contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale
of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company
shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the case of
clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause
(A) or (B), use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective
and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable for their
intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter;

     (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments
to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as
applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by such Registration Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully with the applicable
provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

     (iii) advise the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders named in a Shelf
Registration Statement or any Exchanging Dealer promptly and, if requested by such Persons,
to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus

-8-

 

supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective,
(B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or
amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,
(C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities
commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale
in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes,
(D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a
material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that
requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading. If at any time the
Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an
order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer
Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Company and the
Guarantors shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such
order at the earliest possible time;

(iv) furnish without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder
named in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before filing
with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein
or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration
Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders and
underwriter(s) in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business
Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such
documents incorporated by reference) to which an Initial Purchaser of Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, shall
reasonably object in writing within five Business Days after the receipt thereof (such
objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission within such
period). The objection of an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to
be reasonable if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as
applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission;

(v) in connection with an effective Shelf Registration Statement, promptly prior to the
filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement
or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers, each selling
Holder named in any Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ representatives available for discussion of such document and
other customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such document prior
to the filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s) to

-9-

 

the extent necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, if any, reasonably may
request;

     (vi) subject to the execution of a customary confidentiality agreement acceptable to
the Company, make available at reasonable times for inspection by the managing
underwriter(s), if any, participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration
Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by any such underwriter(s), all financial
and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of each of the Company and
the Guarantors and cause the Company’s and the Guarantors’ officers, directors and employees
to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney or
accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness and to
participate in meetings with investors to the extent reasonably requested by the managing
underwriter(s), if any;

     (vii) if requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, in connection
with a Shelf Registration promptly incorporate in any Registration Statement or Prospectus,
pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such
selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have included therein,
including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the
Transfer Restricted Securities, information with respect to the principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities being sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid
therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be
sold in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment promptly after the Company is notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

     (viii) cause the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement
to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered thereby or the underwriter(s),
if any;

     (ix) to the extent not otherwise publicly available, furnish to each Initial Purchaser,
each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, at least one
copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each
amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated

reference);

charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any
amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; each of the Company
and the Guarantors hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the underwriter(s), if any, in
connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted

-10-

 

Securities covered and in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

     (xi) enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement), and
make such customary representations and warranties, and take all such other
commercially reasonable actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any
Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be
reasonably requested by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in
connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by
this Agreement; and whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or
not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, each of the Company and the Guarantors
shall:

     (A) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each Initial Purchaser, each
selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in the case of a Shelf Registration
Statement or Exchanging Dealer in such substance and scope as they may request and
as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten
offerings, upon the date of the Consummation of the Exchange Offer or, if
applicable, the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

     (1) a certificate, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer
or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the
case may be, signed by (y) the President or any Vice President and (z) a
principal financial or accounting officer of each of the Company and the
Guarantors, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in
Sections 8(a) and 8(c) of the Purchase Agreement and such other matters as
such parties may reasonably request;

     (2) an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or
the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
may be, of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, covering the matters

to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with
officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors,
representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and
the Guarantors, representatives of the underwriter(s), if any, and counsel
to the underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the preparation of such
Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have considered the
matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein,
although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises
that, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts came to such counsel’s
attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable
Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto became effective, and, in the case of the

-11-

 

Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation,
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such
Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated
the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of
Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel may state further
that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently
verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial
statements, notes and schedules and other financial data included in any
Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related
Prospectus; and

     (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the
Shelf Registration Statement, from the Company’s independent accountants, in
the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to
be covered in comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary
underwritten offerings, and covering or affirming the matters set forth in
the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Purchase
Agreement, without exception;

     (B) set forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting
agreement, if any, the indemnification provisions and procedures of Section 8 hereof
with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; and

     (C) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably
requested by such parties to evidence compliance with Section 6(c)(xi)(A) hereof and
with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other
agreement entered into by the Company or any of the Guarantors pursuant to this
Section 6(c)(xi), if any.

     If at any time the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors
contemplated in Section 6(c)(xi)(A)(1) hereof cease to be true and correct, the Company or
the Guarantors shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the underwriter(s), if any, and
each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in
writing;

     (xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with
the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection
with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the
state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders or
underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request and do any and all other commercially
reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement; provided, however, that none of the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required
to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not then so qualified or to take
any action that

-12-

 

would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to
matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where
it is not then so subject;

     (xiii) shall issue, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities covered by the
Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Securities surrendered to the Company by such
Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange Securities to be
registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the purchaser(s) of such Securities,
as the case may be; in return, the Initial Securities held by such Holder shall be
surrendered to the Company for cancellation;

     (xiv) cooperate with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted
Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer
Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two Business Days prior to any
sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such Holders or underwriter(s);

     (xv) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers
thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such Transfer
Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in Section 6(c)(xii) hereof;

     (xvi) if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or
have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer
Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein
not misleading;

     (xvii) provide a CUSIP number for all Securities not later than the effective date of
the Registration Statement covering such Securities and provide the Trustee under the
Indenture with printed certificates for such Securities which are in a form eligible for
deposit with the Depository Trust Company and take all other action necessary to ensure that
all such Securities are eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;

     (xviii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the
performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including any “qualified
independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in accordance with the rules and
regulations of FINRA;

     (xix) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders,
within 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a
fiscal year) a

-13-

 

consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which
need not be audited) for the twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal
quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm
commitment or best efforts Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such
an offering, beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing
after the effective date of the Registration Statement;

     (xx) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than
the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in
connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of Securities to effect
such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in
accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute and use its best
efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such
changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable
such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

     (xxi) cause all Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed if requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of Initial Securities or the managing underwriter(s), if any; and

     (xxii) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed with the
Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

     Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D)
hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is advised
in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession,
of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of
receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the time period
regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as
applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date
of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when
each selling Holder covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received
the Advice; provided, however, that no such extension shall be taken into account in determining
whether Additional Interest is due pursuant to Section 5 hereof or the amount of such Additional
Interest, it being agreed that the Company’s option to suspend
use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a Registration
Default for purposes of Section 5 hereof.

-14-

 

     (e) Holder Condition to Participation. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange
Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall
furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof, a written
representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate (as
defined in Rule 405) of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in,
and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution of the
Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities
in its ordinary course of business, and (D) include such information in such document prior to the
filing thereof as such selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request. In
addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the
Company’s preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the
securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect
on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan
Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation
(available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated
July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained
pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such
a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing
the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation
S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial
Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Company.

     SECTION 7. Registration Expenses.

     (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s and the Guarantor’s performance of or compliance
with this Agreement will be borne by the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation:
(i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Initial Purchaser
or Holder with FINRA (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any “qualified independent
underwriter” and its counsel that may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA)); (ii) all
fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state securities or blue sky laws;
(iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be
issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and
telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the Guarantors and, subject
to Section 7(b) hereof, the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and
filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Securities on a securities exchange or
automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements thereof; and (vi) all fees and
disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors
(including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to
such performance).

-15-

 

     Each of the Company and the Guarantors will, in any event, bear its internal expenses
(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any
Person, including special experts, retained by the Company or the Guarantors.

     (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration
Statement), the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial
Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer
and/or resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Cahill Gordon &
Reindel LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration
Statement is being prepared.

     SECTION 8. Indemnification.

     (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold
harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred
to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the
respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or
any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be
referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without
limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing,
pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or
proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly
caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by
an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the
Company by any of the Holders expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have.

     In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or
proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to
which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or
the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify
the Company and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such
notice shall not relieve any of the Company or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this

-16-

 

Agreement. Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such
action and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Company and the
Guarantors (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not
entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Company and the Guarantors shall not, in connection
with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be
designated by the Holders. The Company and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of
any such action or proceeding effected with the Company’s and the Guarantors’ prior written
consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Company and the
Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the
written consent of the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors shall not,
without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim,
litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement,
compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder
from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding.

     (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers of
the Company and the Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the
Company or any of the Guarantors, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives and agents of each such Person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from
the Company and the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims
and actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought
against the Company, the Guarantors or their respective directors or officers or any such
controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Company and the
Guarantors, and the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and such
controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding
paragraph. This indemnity provided for in this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability
which each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may otherwise have.

     (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified
party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those
Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses
referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Company and
the

-17-

 

Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Company and the
Guarantors from the Initial Placement), the amount of Additional Interest which did not become
payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such
allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
of the Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action
or claim.

     The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to
contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount
received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount of any damages
which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to
contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal
amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint.

     SECTION 9. Rule 144A. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder,
for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any
Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof
and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial
owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit
resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

-18-

 

     SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any
Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer
Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all
reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up
letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

     SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered
by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted
Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment
banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer such offering will be selected by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included
in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s)
must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

     SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Remedies. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees that monetary damages
would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Company and the Guarantors will not on or after
the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors has previously entered into
any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person. The
rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent
with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s or any of the Guarantors’ securities under
any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Company will not take any action, or permit any
change to occur, with respect to the Securities that would materially and adversely affect the
ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer.

     (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given
unless the Company has (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the
written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case
of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted
Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders
whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect
directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant
to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered;

-19-

 

provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects
the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each
such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver,
consent or departure is to be effective.

     (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt
requested), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

     (i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the Registrar under the

provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired
result that the criteria for evaluating Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ financial condition

reference to GAAP contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall, only to the
extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the
implementation of such Accounting Change. If Agent, Borrowers and Requisite Lenders cannot agree
upon the required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date of implementation of any
Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all calculations of financial
covenants and other standards and terms in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change.

obligations to make Revolving Credit Advances under Section 2.1(a); provided, that
if Swing Line Lender makes a Swing Line Advance pursuant to any such notice, such Swing Line
Advance shall be in lieu of any Revolving Credit Advance that otherwise may be made by Lenders
pursuant to such notice. The aggregate amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding shall not exceed
at any time the lesser of (A) the Swing Line Commitment and (B) the lesser of the Maximum Amount
and the Borrowing Base, in each case, less the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans at such
time (“Swing Line Availability”). Until the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers may
from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.1(b). Each Swing Line
Advance shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance delivered to Funding Agent
by Borrower Representative in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i). Any such notice must be
given no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Swing Line
Advance. Unless Swing Line

60

 

Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice
from Requisite Lenders instructing it not to make any Swing Line Advance, Swing Line Lender shall,
notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2, be
entitled to fund any requested Swing Line Advance, and to have each Lender make Revolving Credit
Advances in accordance with Section 2.1(b)(iii) or purchase participating interests in
accordance with Section 2.1(b)(vi). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents, the Swing Line Loan shall constitute a Base Rate Loan and shall only
be denominated in Dollars. Borrowers shall repay the Swing Line Loan upon written demand therefor
by Funding Agent.

               (ii) Upon request by Swing Line Lender, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Swing Line
Lender a promissory note to evidence the Swing Line Commitment. Such note shall be in the
principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment of Swing Line Lender, dated the Closing Date and
substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.1(b)(ii) (each a “Swing Line Note” and,
collectively, the “Swing Line Notes”). Each Swing Line Note (or, if Swing Line Notes are
not requested, this Agreement) shall represent the obligation of each Borrower to pay the amount of
the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Swing Line
Advances made to such Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.5.
The entire unpaid balance of the Swing Line Loan and all other noncontingent Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination
Date, if not sooner paid in full.

               (iii) If no Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, then the Swing Line Lender, at any time and from
time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, but not less frequently than weekly, shall on
behalf of Borrowers (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
act on its behalf) request each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Credit
Advance for the account of Borrowers (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
principal amount of Borrowers’ Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding
on the date such notice is given. If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender and the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at such time, that Non-Funding Lender’s
reimbursement obligations with respect to the Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated to and assumed
by the other Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (calculated as
if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Pro Rata
Share had been increased proportionately). If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, upon receipt of
the demand described above, each Lender that is not a Non-Funding Lender will be obligated to pay
to Funding Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
Swing Line Loans (increased as described above); provided that no Revolver 1 Lender shall
be required to fund any amount in excess of its Revolver 1 Commitment and no Revolver 2 Lender
shall be required to fund any amount in excess of its Revolver 2 Commitment. Unless any of the
events described in Sections 9.1(k) or (l) has occurred (in which event the
procedures of Section 2.1(b)(iv) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions
precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then
satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to Funding Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving
Credit Advance on behalf of the Swing Line Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time) in immediately
available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date that notice is given. The proceeds of
those Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to
repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan of Borrowers.

61

 

               (iv) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to
Section 2.1(b)(iii), one of the events described in Sections 9.1(k) or
9.1(l) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(b)(v) below,
each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made, purchase, or be
deemed to have purchased, from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participation interest in the
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request,
each Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the
amount of its participation interest.

               (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section
2.1(b)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section
2.1(b)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may
have against Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any inability of any Borrower to
satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (D) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
If any Lender does not make available to Funding Agent or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the
amount required pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(iii) or 2.1(b)(iv), as the case may be,
Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together
with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full
at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days and at the Base Rate thereafter.

          (c) Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower Representative. Funding Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Notice of Revolving
Credit Advance, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or similar notice reasonably believed by Funding
Agent to be genuine. Funding Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any
notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting
thereon for Funding Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. Each Borrower hereby designates
Visteon or any of its authorized representatives as its representative and agent on its behalf for
the purposes of issuing Notices of Revolving Credit Advances and Notices of
Conversion/Continuation, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of
the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all
other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other
actions (including in respect of providing notices in respect of compliance with covenants) on
behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby
accepts such appointment. Funding Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other
communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or
communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted
to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such
Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and
warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall
be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and
enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such
Borrower.

62

 

     2.2 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Funding Agent
and Lenders agree to incur, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, upon the
request of Borrower Representative on behalf of Borrowers’ and for Borrowers’ account, Letter of
Credit Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by an L/C Issuer for Borrowers’
account. Each Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, purchase
(or be deemed to have purchased) risk participations in all such Letters of Credit issued with the
written consent of Funding Agent, as more fully described in Section 2.2(b)(ii). The
aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the least
of (i) $75,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”), (ii) the Maximum Amount less the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances and the Swing Line Loan, and (iii)
the Availability. No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than one year
following the date of issuance thereof, but may contain provisions for automatic renewal thereof
for periods not in excess of one (1) year, unless otherwise reasonably determined by Funding Agent
and L/C Issuer, in their respective sole discretion, and neither Funding Agent nor Lenders shall
be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or purchase risk
participations in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than the 5th day prior
to the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Commitment Termination Date; provided,
further that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the applicable Borrower, be renewed for a
period beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the maturity date thereof if such Letter of Credit has become
subject to cash collateralization (at 105% of the face value of such Letter of Credit) or other
arrangements, in each case reasonably satisfactory to Funding Agent and the L/C Issuer, and the
L/C Issuer has released the Lenders in writing from their participation obligations with respect
to such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C
Issuer may only issue Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by applicable law. If (i) any
Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Agent determines that any of the Lenders is an Impacted Lender
and (ii) the reallocation of that Non-Funding Lender’s or Impacted Lender’s Letter of Credit
Obligations to the other Lenders would reasonably be expected to cause the Letter of Credit
Obligations and Loans of any Lender to exceed its Commitment (an “Affected L/C Issuer”),
taking into account the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, then no Affected L/C Issuer shall
issue or renew any Letters of Credit unless the Non-Funding or Impacted Lender has been replaced,
the Letter of Credit Obligations have been cash collateralized, or the Commitment of the other
Lenders has been increased in accordance with Section 12.2(c) by an amount sufficient to
satisfy Agent that all additional Letter of Credit Obligations will be covered by all Lenders who
are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders. Each Letter of Credit will be denominated in
Dollars or an Alternate Currency, at the request of Borrowers.

          (b) Advances Automatic; Participations.

               (i) If no Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, in the event that Agent or any Lender shall make any
payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation, such payment shall then be deemed
automatically to constitute a Revolving Credit Advance under Section 2.1(a) regardless of
whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding any
Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2, and, if no
Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, (or if the only Non-Funding Lender is

63

 

the L/C Issuer that issued
such Letter of Credit), each Lender shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof in
accordance with this Agreement. If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender and the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at such time, that Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of
Credit Obligations shall be reallocated to and assumed by the other Lenders pro rata in accordance
with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata
Share was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased
proportionately). If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, each Lender that is not a Non-Funding
Lender shall pay to Funding Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share (increased
as described above) of the Letter of Credit Obligations that from time to time remain outstanding;
provided that no Lender shall be required to fund any amount in excess of its Revolver 1
Commitment or Revolver 2 Commitment, as the case may be. The failure of any Lender to make
available to Funding Agent for Funding Agent’s own account its Pro Rata Share of any such Revolving
Credit Advance or payment by Funding Agent to the L/C Issuer shall not relieve any other Lender of
its obligation hereunder to make available to Funding Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof.

               (ii) If it shall be illegal or unlawful for Borrowers to incur Revolving Credit Advances as
contemplated by Section 2.2(b)(i) above or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any
Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations
owed to the L/C Issuer, then (A) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each
Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C
Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share (based on its Commitment) of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of
Credit then outstanding and (B) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each
Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Agent (or such L/C
Issuer, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
(based on its Commitment) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit
on the date of such issuance. Each Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or
disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in this Agreement
with respect to Revolving Credit Advances

               (iii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no L/C Issuer shall have any
obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be
delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to
substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken
or omitted to be taken by an L/C Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by
it shall not create for such L/C Lender any resulting liability to the Borrowers, any other Credit
Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with bad
faith, gross negligence, or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          (c) Cash Collateral.

               (i) If Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations
pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers will pay to Agent
for the ratable benefit of itself and Lenders cash or Cash

64

 

Equivalents (“Cash Collateral”)
in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable
Letter of Credit outstanding. Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in a cash
collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial
institution acceptable to Agent, and Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make
such Cash Collateral Account an interest bearing account. The Cash Collateral Account shall be in
the name of Borrowers and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Agent, for the
benefit of Agent, the other Secured Parties and L/C Issuer, in a manner satisfactory to Agent.
Each Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, a security
interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to
time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the
Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due. This Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

               (ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any
reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, Credit Parties shall either (A) provide
cash collateral therefor in the manner described above, or (B)
cause all such Letters of Credit to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver a stand-by letter
(or letters) of credit in guaranty of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or
letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus thirty (30) additional days) as, and
in an amount equal to 105% of, the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the
Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued
by a banking institution, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are be reasonably
satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.

               (iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by any
Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment Termination Date, Agent may apply such funds or
Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, and in
such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrowers to Agent
and Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations and, upon the satisfaction in full of
all Letter of Credit Obligations and after the Commitment Termination Date, to any other
Obligations of any Borrower then due and payable.

               (iv) No Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through any Borrower shall have any
right to withdraw any of the funds or Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except
that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts
payable by Credit Parties to Agent and Lenders in respect thereof, any funds remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be applied to other Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in
full of such Obligations, any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrowers or as otherwise required
by law. Interest, if any, earned on deposits in the Cash Collateral Account shall be held as
additional collateral.

          (d) Fees and Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders,
as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all
reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account
of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each Fiscal Quarter during which any Letter of
Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit

65

 

Fee”) in an
amount equal to the sum of (A) Applicable Revolver 1 LIBOR Margin then in effect multiplied
by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn allocable to the Revolver 1
Commitment under the applicable Letter of Credit and (B) Applicable Revolver 2 LIBOR Margin then
in effect multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn
allocable to the Revolver 2 Commitment under the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be
paid to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in arrears, on the first Business Day of each Fiscal
Quarter and on the Commitment Termination Date. In addition, Borrowers shall pay to the L/C
Issuer, (i) upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, solely for the L/C Issuer’s own account, a
fronting fee equal to 0.25% multiplied by the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) on
demand, such reasonable fees, reasonable documented out-of-pocket charges and expenses of the L/C
Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of
such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation
under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

          (e) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower Representative
shall give Agent and the L/C Issuer least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice requesting
the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation. Each such request for a Letter of Credit, and
any Letter of Credit issued pursuant thereto, shall be on the LC Issuer’s standard form documents.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by
Borrower Representative and approvals by Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and transmitted
pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and
among Borrower Representative, Agent and L/C Issuer.

          (f) Obligation Absolute. The joint and several obligations of Borrowers to reimburse
Agent and Lenders for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or
other formalities, and the obligations of each Lender to make payments to Agent with respect to
Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such obligations of Borrowers and
Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances
including the following:

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

               (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of
their respective Affiliates or any Lender may at any time have against a beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be
acting), Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction
(including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates
and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

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

66

 

               (iv) payment by Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.2(g)(ii)(C)
below) or the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or
certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

               (v) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, that is similar to any of the foregoing; or

               (vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          (g) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties.

               (i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, Borrowers jointly
and severally hereby agree to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Agent and each
Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges
and expenses (including reasonable documented attorneys’ fees of one counsel) that Agent or any
Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any
Letter of Credit, or (B) the failure of Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of the L/C
Issuer to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission,
whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent as a result of the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction).

               (ii) As between Agent and any Lender and Borrowers, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by beneficiaries, of any Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither
Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application
for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of
Credit; provided, that in the case of clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section
2.2(g)(ii), any payment by Agent under any Letter of Credit, Agent shall be liable to the
extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the
demand for payment under such Letter of Credit complies on its face with any applicable
requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph,
telex or otherwise, whether or not they may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical
terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a payment under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the
proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; and (H) any consequences arising from causes
beyond the control of Agent

67

 

or any Lender. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the
vesting of any of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or under this Agreement.

               (iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or
indemnities made by Borrowers in favor of the L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application,
reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between or among Borrowers and
the L/C Issuer.

          (h) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide Funding
Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Funding Agent, each of the following on the following
dates: (i) (A) on or prior to any issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer,
(B) immediately after any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) immediately after payment
(or failure to pay when due) by Borrowers of any related Letter of Credit Obligation, notice
thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such issuance, drawing or
payment, and Funding Agent shall provide copies of such notices to each Lender reasonably promptly
after receipt thereof; (ii) upon the request of Funding Agent (or any Lender through Funding
Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and any related Letter of Credit
reimbursement agreement and such other documents and information as may be reasonably requested by
Funding Agent; and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters
of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Funding
Agent, setting forth the Letter of Credit Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the
last Business Day of the previous calendar week.

          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the first $35,000,000 of
outstanding Letters of Credit shall be allocated to Revolver 1 Lenders based on their Pro Rata
Share of the Revolver 1 Commitment. All Letters of Credit in excess of $35,000,000 shall be
allocated between the Revolver 1 Lenders and the Revolver 2 Lenders based on their the Pro Rata
Share of all Commitments. All risk participation, fees and other allocations regarding Letters of
Credit under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.2(h).

          (j) The L/C Issuer may be replaced with another Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at any
time by written agreement among Borrower Representative, Agent and the successor L/C Issuer. Agent
shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the L/C Issuer. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of
the replaced L/C Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the
successor L/C Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to
the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or
to such successor L/C Issuer and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After
the replacement of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto
and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required
to issue additional Letters of Credit.

     2.3 Prepayments.

68

 

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments; Reductions in Commitments. Borrowers may at any time on
at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice by Borrower Representative to Agent and
Funding Agent permanently reduce (but not terminate) the Commitment; provided that (i) any
such prepayments or reductions shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple thereof, (ii) the Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the
amount of the Revolving Loan then outstanding and (iii) after giving effect to such reductions,
Borrowers shall comply with Section 2.3(b)(i). In addition, Borrowers may at any time on
at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice by Borrower Representative to Agent and Funding Agent
terminate the Commitment; provided that upon such termination, all Loans
and other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit
Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with Section
2.2 hereto. Any voluntary prepayments applied to a particular Loan shall be applied ratably
to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. Any voluntary
prepayment and any reduction or termination of the Commitment must be accompanied by the payment
of any LIBOR funding breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.11(b). Upon any such
reduction or termination of the Commitment, each Borrower’s right to request Revolving Credit
Advances, or request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf or request Swing
Line Advances, shall simultaneously be permanently reduced or terminated, as the case may be;
provided that a permanent reduction of the Commitment shall require a corresponding pro
rata reduction in the L/C Sublimit. Each notice of partial prepayment shall designate the Loans
or other Obligations to which such prepayment is to be applied.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

               (i) If at any time the Loans exceed the lesser of (A) the Maximum Amount and (B) the Borrowing
Base, Borrowers shall immediately, but in no event later than three Business Days, repay the
aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess;
provided, however, if such Overadvance is the result of increases in Reserves,
changes in eligibility criteria or other permitted changes to the Borrowing Base hereunder
subsequent to the Closing Date, such three Business Day period shall commence on the date of notice
of establishment or increase in Reserves, changes in eligibility criteria or other permitted
changes to the Borrowing Base hereunder by Co-Collateral Agents or Agent, as the case may be. If
any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit
Advances, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the
manner set forth in Section 2.2 to the extent required to eliminate such excess. In
addition, if at any time the principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of any
individual Lender exceed (a) its separate Revolver 1 Commitment or (b) its separate Revolver 2
Commitment, as the case may be, then Borrowers shall immediately, but in no event later than three
(3) Business Days after notice thereof, repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances
to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

               (ii) Until the Termination Date, subject to any Intercreditor Agreement (if any) and the
exceptions provided in this clause (ii) below and Section 2.3(d), within three (3)
Business Days of receipt by any Credit Party of Net Cash Proceeds of any asset Disposition or any
casualty or condemnation event, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans (such prepayments to be applied in
accordance with and subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if any) in an amount equal
to all such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be applied in

69

 

accordance with Section 2.3(c) and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (if any). The following shall not be subject
to mandatory prepayment under this clause (ii): (1) proceeds of asset Dispositions in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $3,000,000 per Fiscal Year, (2) proceeds of asset Dispositions
pursuant to Section 7.2(v) and Section 7.8 (other than Sections 7.8(f)-(h),
(n), (s), (t) and (u); provided that the exclusion with respect to
Section 7.8(u) shall only apply to Revolver Priority Collateral) and (3) proceeds
that are reinvested within three hundred sixty-five (365) days following receipt thereof so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, that if a binding commitment to reinvest is entered into within
such period, the reinvestment period shall be extended an additional one hundred eighty (180) days
from the end of such 365 day period; provided, further, that Borrowers shall notify
Agent and Funding Agent of their intent to reinvest at the time such proceeds are received
(provided a failure to so notify Agent and Funding Agent shall not affect Borrowers’ reinvestment
rights hereunder) and when such reinvestment occurs.

               (iii) Subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (if any), if any Credit Party issues
any debt securities other than the Indebtedness permitted by Section 7.3, no later than the
Business Day following the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, such issuing Credit
Party shall prepay the Loans (and cash collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be
applied in accordance with Section 2.3(c) and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (if
any).

               (iv) Subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if any, if any Credit Party issues
Non-Qualifying Preferred Stock after the Closing Date, no later than the Business Day following the
date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof such Credit Party shall prepay the Loans (and cash
collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of
such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.3(c) and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

          (c) Application of Certain Mandatory Prepayments. Any prepayments made by any
Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.3(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) above shall be applied as
follows: first, to reasonable fees and reimbursable expenses of Agent and Co-Collateral
Agents then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to prepayment
of the Swing Line Advances until paid in full; third, to prepayment of the Revolving
Credit Advances until paid in full (provided, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds of any asset
Disposition of, or any casualty or condemnation event relating to, the Eligible Corporate Aircraft
or the Eligible Real Estate shall be applied first to the prepayment of the Revolver 1 Credit
Advances until paid in full and then to the Revolver 2 Credit Advances until paid in full); and
fourth, to replace outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and/or deposit an amount in
cash in a cash collateral account established with Agent for the benefit of Lenders on terms and
conditions satisfactory to Agent. The Commitment and the Swing Line Commitment shall not be
permanently reduced by the amount of all prepayments made by Borrowers pursuant to Sections
2.3(b)(ii)-(iv) to the extent applied pursuant to clauses third and fourth
above. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3(b), shall be made,
first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each prepayment of
Loans under Section 2.3(b) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest to the date
of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

70

 

          (d) Intentionally Omitted.

          (e) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be construed to
constitute Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other
provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

          (f) Limitations on Payments. All prepayments referred to in Section
2.3(b)(ii) above are subject to permissibility under (i) applicable local law (e.g., financial
assistance, corporate benefit, restrictions on upstreaming of cash intra-group and the fiduciary
and statutory duties of the directors of the relevant Subsidiaries) and (ii) material constituent
document restrictions existing as of the Closing Date (including as a result of minority
ownership). There will be no requirement to make any prepayment under Section 2.3(b)(ii)
if Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates provide reasonable evidence to
Agent and Lenders that it would incur a material tax liability, including a deemed dividend
pursuant to Section 956 of the IRC; provided, further, that utilization of the net
operating losses of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be excluded from Borrowers’
determination of whether such prepayment would result in material adverse tax liabilities to
Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The non-application of any prepayment amounts
as a consequence of the foregoing provisions shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute an
Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), and such amounts shall be available for working
capital purposes of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, so long as such amounts are not required to be prepaid in accordance with the following
provisions. Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce
or eliminate the foregoing restrictions and/or minimize any such costs of prepayment and/or use
the other cash resources of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (subject to the considerations above)
to make the relevant payment; provided, however, such efforts shall not include
the application or use of net operating losses of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. If at any
time within one year of a required prepayment date that is excused under this Section
2.3(f), such restrictions are removed, any relevant proceeds will be applied in prepayment of
the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments required after application of the above
provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes incurred by Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates arising solely as a result of compliance with the
preceding sentence, and Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be permitted to make, directly or
indirectly, a dividend or distribution to their Affiliates in an amount sufficient to cover such
tax liability, costs or expenses.

     2.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans (a) to fund
payment of fees, costs and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases and the Related Transactions,
(b) to provide working capital from time to time for the Borrowers and their respective
Subsidiaries and (c) for other general corporate purposes.

     2.5 Interest; Applicable Margins; Commitment Fees.

          (a) Borrowers shall pay interest to Funding Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in
accordance with the various Loans being made by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable
Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolver 1 Credit Advances,
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Revolver 1 Base Rate Margin per annum

71

 

or, at the election of Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
Revolver 1 LIBOR Margin per annum; (ii) with respect to the Revolver 2 Credit Advances, the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Revolver 2 Base Rate Margin per annum or, at the election of
Borrower Representative, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Revolver 2 LIBOR
Margin per annum; and (iii) with respect to the Swing Line Loan, the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Revolver 1 Base Rate Margin.

     As of the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Margins are as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 

	Applicable Revolver 1 Base Rate Margin:
	 	 	1.75	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Applicable Revolver 1 LIBOR Margin:
	 	 	2.75	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Applicable Revolver 2 Base Rate Margin:
	 	 	2.25	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Applicable Revolver 2 LIBOR Margin:
	 	 	3.25	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Revolver 1 Commitment Fee:
	 	 	0.50	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Revolver 2 Commitment Fee:
	 	 	0.50	%

     After the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Revolver 1 Base Rate Margin,
Applicable Revolver 1 LIBOR Margin, Applicable Revolver 2 Base Rate Margin, Applicable Revolver 2
LIBOR Margin, Revolver 1 Commitment Fee and Revolver 2 Commitment Fee will be determined by
reference to the following grid based upon the Monthly Average Availability for the Fiscal Month
then ended:

Revolver 1:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	Applicable	 	Applicable	 	 
	 	 	 	 	Revolver 1	 	Revolver 1	 	Revolver 1
	 	 	Monthly Average	 	LIBOR	 	Base Rate	 	Commitment
	Tier	 	Availability	 	Margin:	 	Margin:	 	Fee:
	1	 	Greater than or equal to $50,000,000
	 	2.75%	 	1.75%	 	0.50%
	2	 	Less than $50,000,000
	 	3.00%	 	2.00%	 	0.50%

Revolver 2:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 	 	Applicable	 	Applicable	 	 
	 	 	 	 	Revolver 2	 	Revolver 2	 	Revolver 1
	 	 	Monthly Average	 	LIBOR	 	Base Rate	 	Commitment
	Tier	 	Availability	 	Margin:	 	Margin:	 	Fee:
	1	 	Greater than or equal to $50,000,000
	 	3.25%	 	2.25%	 	0.50%
	2	 	Less than $50,000,000
	 	3.50%	 	2.50%	 	0.50%

72

 

     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the
Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred, in the case of Base Rate
Loans and LIBOR Loans, until the first day of the first calendar month following the date on which
such Event of Default is waived or cured.

          (b) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in
the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall
be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

          (c) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest shall be made by
Funding Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring
in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable, except that with respect to Base Rate
Loans based on the prime or base commercial lending rate the interest thereon shall be calculated
on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The
Base Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Funding Agent of an
interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates
and Fees.

          (d) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Sections
9.1(a), (k) or (l) or any Event of Default under Section 9.1(b) solely
with respect to Section 7.10, the interest rates applicable to the Loans and the Letter of
Credit Fees shall automatically be increased by two percentage points (2.00%) per annum above the
rates of interest or the rate of such Fees otherwise applicable hereunder unless Agent and
Requisite Lenders elect to waive such increase or impose a smaller increase (the “Default
Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations (other than Obligations from Bank Products) shall bear
interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest and Letter of Credit Fees
at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default and for so long as
such Event of Default is continuing and shall be payable upon demand.

          (e) Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2, Borrower
Representative shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Credit Advance be made as a
LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than the Swing
Line Loan) from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan
and subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.11(b) if such
conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv)
continue all or any portion of any Loan (other than the Swing Line Loan) as a LIBOR Loan upon the
expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan
shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be
continued; provided, however, that no Revolving Credit Advance shall be converted
to, or continued at the end of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto as a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR
Period of longer than one (1) month if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any
Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or
converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess of such amount.

73

 

Any such election must be made by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of
any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period
with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which Borrower
Representative wishes to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated
by Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR
Loan by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period
with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the
additional conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall not have been satisfied),
that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan with a LIBOR Period of one (1) month at the end
of its LIBOR Period (or with respect to any Alternate Currency Loans, shall be converted to a
LIBOR Loans with a one (1) LIBOR Period). Borrower Representative must make such election by
notice to Funding Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any
conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice
of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 2.5(e). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall not, at any time, be permitted to obtain or
convert a LIBOR Loan that is an Alternate Currency Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

          (f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Borrowers hereunder
shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period
for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting
for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any
law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully
contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event Borrowers shall pay such
Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful
Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest
payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall continue to pay interest
hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Funding
Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the
interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate
payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest
hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections
2.5(a) through (e), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum
Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total
interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender
could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term
hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this
paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate
divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 2.5(f), a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally
determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate,
Funding Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess in the
order specified in Section 2.9 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrowers or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order. No Loan may be made as or converted into a LIBOR Loan until the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date or (ii) completion of a “successful syndication” (as defined in the Fee Letter).

74

 

     2.6 Cash Management Systems. On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrowers will
establish and will maintain until the Termination Date, the cash management systems described in
Annex A (the “Cash Management Systems”).

     2.7 Fees.

          (a) Borrowers shall pay to MSSF, individually, the Fees specified in the Fee Letter at the
times specified for payment therein.

          (b) As additional compensation for Revolver 1 Lenders, Borrowers shall pay to Funding Agent,
for the ratable benefit of such Lenders, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date, on the date of
any permanent reduction of the Commitment in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and on the
Commitment Termination Date, a Fee for Borrowers’ non-use of available funds in an amount equal to
the Revolver 1 Commitment Fee as set forth in Section 2.5 per annum (calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference between (A) the
amount of the Revolver 1 Commitment (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (B) the average
for the period of the daily closing balances of the aggregate Revolver 1 Credit Advances and the
Swing Line Loan allocable to the Revolver 1 Lenders outstanding during the period for which such
Fee is due.

          (c) As additional compensation for Revolver 2 Lenders, Borrowers shall pay to Funding Agent,
for the ratable benefit of such Lenders, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date, on the date of
any permanent reduction of the Commitment in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and on the
Commitment Termination Date, a Fee for Borrowers’ non-use of available funds in an amount equal to
the Revolver 2 Commitment Fee as set forth in Section 2.5 per annum (calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference between (A) the
amount of the Revolver 2 Commitment (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (B) the average
for the period of the daily closing balances of the aggregate Revolver 2 Credit Advances and the
Swing Line Loan allocable to the Revolver 2 Lenders outstanding during the period for which such
Fee is due.

          (d) Borrowers shall pay to Funding Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, the Letter of
Credit Fee as provided in Section 2.2.

     2.8 Receipt of Payments. Borrowers shall make each payment under this Agreement not
later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in
Dollars with respect to Dollar Loans or in the applicable Alternate Currency with respect to
Alternate Currency Loans, in each case to the Collection Account. For purposes of computing
interest and Fees and determining Availability as of any date, all payments shall be deemed
received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds are received in the Collection
Account prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time). Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on
any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on
the following Business Day. Unless stated otherwise, all calculations, comparisons, measurements
or determinations under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars. If Funding Agent receives any
payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in a currency other than the currency in which such
Obligation is denominated, Funding Agent may convert the payment (including the monetary proceeds
of realization upon any Collateral and any funds then

75

 

held in a cash collateral account) into the currency of the relevant Obligation at the
exchange rate that Funding Agent would be prepared to sell the currency in which the relevant
Obligation is denominated against the currency received on the Business Day immediately preceding
the date of actual payment. The Obligations shall be satisfied only to the extent of the amount
actually received by Funding Agent upon such conversion. Funding Agent shall distribute such
payments to Lender or other applicable Persons in like funds as received.

     2.9 Application and Allocation of Payments.

          (a) Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (if any), so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) payments of regularly scheduled payments then
due shall be applied to those scheduled payments, (ii) voluntary prepayments shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(a), and (iii) mandatory prepayments shall be
applied as set forth in Sections 2.3(c). All payments and prepayments applied to a
particular Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined
by its Pro Rata Share. As to any other mandatory payment, and as to all payments made when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Commitment Termination Date, each
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments
received from or on behalf of such Borrower. All voluntary prepayments shall be applied as
directed by Borrower Representative; provided, however, any voluntary repayment of
the Revolving Credit Advances will be made pro rata between Revolver 1 Credit Advances and
Revolver 2 Credit Advances (or otherwise as required hereunder). In all circumstances, subject to
any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (if any), after an Event of Default, all payments and
proceeds of Collateral shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order:
(1) to Fees and Agent’s and Co-Collateral Agents’ expenses reimbursable hereunder and to all
obligations owing to Agent, Swing Line Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Lender by any
Non-Funding Lender under the Loan Documents; (2) to interest on the Swing Line Loans; (3) to
principal payments on the Swing Line Loans; (4) to interest on the other Loans and Secured Hedging
Obligations, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each Loan and Secured Hedging
Obligations; (5) to principal payments on the other Loans (or cash collateral with respect to the
Letter of Credit Obligations) and Secured Hedging Obligations, ratably in proportion to the
principal balance of each Loan, each Secured Hedging Obligation and the Letter of Credit
Obligations (provided, however, that any payments and proceeds of Eligible
Corporate Aircraft and Eligible Real Estate shall be applied first to principal payments on the
Revolver 1 Credit Advances until paid in full and then to principal payments on the other Loans
(or cash collateral with respect to the Letter of Credit Obligations) and Secured Hedging
Obligations, ratably in proportion to the principal balance of each Loan, each Secured Hedging
Obligation and the Letter of Credit Obligations); (6) to the payment of the Bank Products
Obligations then due and payable; (7) to all other Obligations, including expenses of Lenders to
the extent reimbursable under Section 12.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, at all times after the acceleration of the Obligations, a Commitment Termination
Date, the failure to comply with the requirements under Section 7.10 or any Event of
Default arising under Section 9.1(a), (h), (k) or (l), payments
and proceeds of Collateral shall be applied as follows: (A) to Fees and Agent’s and the
Co-Collateral Agents’ expenses reimbursable hereunder and to all obligations owing to Agent, Swing
Line Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Lender by any Non-Funding Lender under the Loan
Documents; (B) to interest on the Swing Line Loans; (C) to principal payments on the Swing Line
Loans;

76

 

(D) to interest on the other Loans, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each
Loan and Secured Hedging Obligations; (E) to principal payments on the other Loans and Secured
Hedging Obligations as follows: first, pro rata to the principal balance of the Loans
(and cash collateral with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations) made by the Revolver 1 Lenders
and the Secured Hedging Obligations with respect to the proceeds of (i) all Collateral (other than
Ford Accounts) and (ii) Ford Accounts up to an amount not to exceed 30% of the total Eligible
Accounts at the time of the Commitment Termination Date (“Revolver 1 Ford Accounts”),
ratably in proportion to the principal balance of each Loan made by the Revolver 1 Lenders and the
Secured Hedging Obligations until paid in full, and second, the Loans (and cash collateral
with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations) made by the Revolver 2 Lenders, provided,
however, any proceeds from the Ford Accounts that do not qualify as Revolver 1 Ford
Accounts will be applied under this clause (E) first to the Loans (and cash collateral with
respect to Letter of Credit Obligations) made by the Revolver 2 Lenders; (F) to the payment of the
Bank Products Obligations then due and payable; and (G) to all other Obligations, including
expenses of Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 12.3.

          (b) Funding Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, upon prior notice to
Borrower Representative charge to the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of each Borrower and cause
to be paid all Fees, expenses, Charges, costs (including, insurance premiums in accordance with
Section 6.4(a)) and interest and principal, other than principal of the Revolving Loan,
owing by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, if and to the extent,
Borrowers fail to pay promptly any such amounts as and when due, even if the amount of such
charges would exceed Availability at such time or would cause the balance of the Revolving Loan
and the Swing Line Loan to exceed the Borrowing Base after giving effect to such charges
(provided, any such Overadvance shall be subject to the cure period with respect to fees as set
forth in Section 9.1(a)(ii)). At Funding Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by
law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Revolving Loan hereunder.

     2.10 Loan Account and Accounting. Funding Agent shall maintain a loan account (the
“Loan Account”) on its books and records: all Advances, Letters of Credit, all payments
made by Borrowers, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to
the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance
with Funding Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in
the Loan Account, as recorded on Funding Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement,
shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and
Lenders by each Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so
recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. Funding
Agent shall render to Borrower Representative a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to
the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account as to each Borrower for the immediately
preceding month. Unless Borrower Representative notifies Funding Agent in writing of any objection
to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within sixty (60)
days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall be deemed presumptive evidence of
all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be
deemed to be disputed by the applicable Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained
to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance
of Notes to that Lender and

77

 

may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing
to it.

     2.11 Indemnity.

          (a) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and
hold harmless each of Agent, Co-Collateral Agents, Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and
each such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and
representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all suits,
actions, proceedings, claims, damages, actual losses, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other reasonable documented
out-of-pocket costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that
may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of
credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures to act in
connection therewith, including any and all Environmental Liabilities and legal costs and expenses
arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the
Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that no such
Credit Party shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that
any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, actual loss, liability or expense results from
that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment; provided,
further that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any such cost, expense or
liability to the extent of any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons other than claims against
Agent or Co-Collateral Agents, in such capacity in connection with fulfilling any such roles. In
the absence of an actual conflict of interest, or in the written opinion of counsel a potential
conflict of interest, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries will not be responsible for the fees
and expenses of more than one legal counsel for all Indemnified Persons and appropriate local
legal counsel; provided that in the case of an actual conflict of interest, or the written
opinion of counsel that a potential conflict of interest exists, Borrowers and their Subsidiaries
shall be responsible for one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the affected
Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole. No party hereto shall be responsible or liable to any
other Person party to any Loan Document, any successor, assignee or third party beneficiary of
such person or any other person asserting claims derivatively through such Party, for indirect,
punitive, exemplary or consequential damages which may be alleged as a result of credit having
been extended, suspended or terminated under any Loan Document or as a result of any other
transaction contemplated hereunder or thereunder.

          (b) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i)
any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR
Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) any
Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR
Loan; (iii) any Borrower shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall request a termination
of, any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of, LIBOR Loans after Borrower
Representative has given notice requesting the same in accordance

78

 

herewith; (iv) any Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower
Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith; or (v) an assignment of LIBOR
Loans is mandated pursuant to Sections 2.14(d) or 12.2(d), then Borrowers shall
jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all actual losses,
costs and reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses resulting from or arising from any of the
foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any actual and documented out-of-pocket loss or
expense (other than loss of anticipated profits), if any, arising from the reemployment of funds
obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained.
For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender
shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit
bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having
a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided that each Lender may fund
each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized
only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable
hereunder. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide Borrower
Representative with its written and detailed calculation of all amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.11(b), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto absent
manifest error, in which case Borrower Representative shall object in writing within ten (10)
Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.

     2.12 Access. Each Credit Party that is a party hereto shall, during normal business
hours, from time to time upon reasonable notice as frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be
appropriate: (a) provide Agent, Co-Collateral Agents, Lenders (coordinated through Agent) and any
of their representatives and designees access to its properties, facilities, advisors, officers and
employees of each Credit Party and to the Collateral, (b) permit Agent, Co-Collateral Agents,
Lenders and any of their officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from
any Credit Party’s books and records, and (c) permit Agent, Co-Collateral Agents, Lenders and their
representatives and other designees, to inspect, review, evaluate and make test verifications and
counts of the Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Credit Party; provided, that
to the extent that no Event of Default has occurred, Borrowers shall only be responsible for the
costs of such activities as set forth in Section 5.2. Furthermore, so long as any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under Sections 9.1 (k) or (l) or at
any time after all or any portion of the Obligations have been declared due and payable pursuant to
Section 9.2(b), Borrowers shall provide reasonable assistance to Agent to obtain access,
which access shall be coordinated in scope and substance in consultation with the Borrowers, to
their suppliers and customers. Each Credit Party (i) shall be available to discuss the business,
operations, properties and financial and other condition of the Group Members with officers and
employees of the Group Members (so long as senior management of Borrower Representative is notified
of any such discussion and is permitted to be present) and (ii) agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to assist Agent in obtaining reasonable access, which access shall be
coordinated in scope and substance in consultation with Borrower Representative, to its independent
certified public accountants and financial advisors.

     2.13 Taxes.

79

 

          (a) All payments by each Credit Party hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan
Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or defense. Any and all payments by each
Credit Party hereunder (including any payments made pursuant to Section 13), under the
Notes or under any other Loan Documents shall be made, in accordance with this Section
2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any
Credit Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder (including any payments made pursuant to Section 13) or under the Notes, (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that, after making all required
withholdings and deductions (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.13), Agent or Lenders, as applicable, receive an amount equal
to the sum they would have received had no such withholdings and deductions been made, (ii) such
Credit Party shall make such withholdings and deductions, and (iii) such Credit Party shall pay
the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
Within thirty (30) days after the date of any such payment of Taxes, Borrowers shall furnish to
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (b) In addition, each Credit Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from
any payment made under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby or thereby (“Other
Taxes”). Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after it becomes
aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in additional payments under this
Section 2.13, it shall notify Borrowers thereof.

          (c) Each Credit Party that is a signatory hereto shall jointly and severally indemnify and,
within ten (10) days of demand therefor, pay Funding Agent and each Lender for the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section 2.13) paid by (or on behalf of) Funding Agent or such Lender as a result of
payments made pursuant to this Agreement, as appropriate, and any liability (including, penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that no Credit Party shall be
required to compensate Funding Agent or any Lender for any Taxes or Other Taxes incurred more than
one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Funding Agent or Lender notifies
Borrower Representative of such Taxes or Other Taxes and of such Funding Agent or Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefore; provided, further, however that
if the circumstances giving rise to such Taxes or Other Taxes are retroactive, then the 180 day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A
certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and evidence of payment thereof submitted to the Credit
Parties shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from the Credit
Parties to Funding Agent or such Lenders. Upon actually learning of the imposition of Taxes,
Funding Agent or Lender, as the case may be, shall act in good faith to notify the Borrowers of
the imposition of such Taxes arising hereunder.

          (d) Each Lender and the successors and assignees of such Lender, that is a “United States
person” within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC and not an exempt

80

 

recipient (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)) shall deliver to Borrower
Representative (with a copy to Funding Agent) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 or
such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
Funding Agent and Borrower Representative to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender, and the successors and assignees
of such Lender, organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States
(“Foreign Lender”) to whom payments to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes may
be exempt from, or eligible for a reduced rate of, United States withholding tax (as applicable)
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Borrower is located or under any tax
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party shall, at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, provide to Borrower Representative (with a copy to Funding Agent) a properly completed and
executed IRS Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document
prescribed by the IRS or the United States.

          (e) If any of Funding Agent or any Lender, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party
or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.13, it shall pay over such refund to such Credit Party (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 2.13
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such
Funding Agent or Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).

          (f) The provisions of this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and repayment of all Obligations.

     2.14 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

          (a) If any Lender shall have determined that any law, treaty, governmental (or
quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve
requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having
the force of law), in each case, adopted after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital,
reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then Borrowers
shall from time to time upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Funding Agent)
pay to Funding Agent, for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the
basis of the computation thereof submitted by such Lender to Borrower Representative and to
Funding Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

          (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any
change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each
case adopted after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost

81

 

to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan, then Borrowers
shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Funding Agent),
pay to Funding Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost,
submitted to Borrower Representative and to Funding Agent by such Lender, shall, absent manifest
error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as
practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in
any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such
Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize
costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrowers pursuant to this Section
2.14(b).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any
change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it
unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful,
for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan or
fund an Alternate Currency Loan, each as contemplated by this Agreement, then, unless that Lender
is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan or Alternate Currency Loan
at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s reasonable opinion,
materially adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof
and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrower Representative through Funding Agent, (i) the
obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR
Loans or fund an Alternate Currency Loan shall terminate and (ii) each Borrower shall forthwith
prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans or Alternate Currency Loans, as the case may be, owing
by such Borrower to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower
Representative on behalf of such Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of
such notice and demand, converts all LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection
therewith (collectively, the “Dodd-Frank Act”) are deemed to have been adopted and gone
into effect after the date of this Agreement to the extent necessary to provide Lenders with the
benefit of this Section 2.14 with respect to any “change in law or regulation” resulting
from the Dodd-Frank Act.

          (d) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower Representative of written notice and
demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional amounts or
increased costs as provided in Sections 2.13(a), 2.14(a) or 2.14(b),
Borrower Representative may, at its option, notify Funding Agent and such Affected Lender of its
intention to replace the Affected Lender. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower Representative, with the consent of Agent, may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense,
a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for the Affected Lender, which Replacement
Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within
ninety (90) days following notice of their intention to do so, the Affected Lender must sell and
assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal
balance of all Loans held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect
thereto through the date of such sale and such assignment shall not require the payment of an
assignment fee to Agent; provided, that Borrowers shall

82

 

have reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is
entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not have the right to obtain a Replacement Lender
if the Affected Lender rescinds its demand for increased costs or additional amounts within 15
days following its receipt of Borrowers’ notice of intention to replace such Affected Lender.
Furthermore, if Borrowers give a notice of intention to replace and do not so replace such
Affected Lender within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrowers’ rights under this Section
2.14(d) shall terminate with respect to such Affected Lender for such request for additional
amounts or increased costs and Borrowers shall promptly pay all increased costs or additional
amounts demanded by such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 2.13(a), 2.14(a) and
2.14(b). An exercise of the Borrowers’ option under this Section 2.14(d) shall
not suspend the Borrowers’ obligation to pay such increased costs or additional amounts demanded
by such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 2.13(a), 2.14(a) and 2.14(b)
until such Affected Lender is replaced.

     2.15 Single Loan. All Loans to each Borrower and all of the other Obligations of each
Borrower arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute one general
obligation of that Borrower secured, until the Termination Date, by all of the Collateral.

     2.16 Incremental Revolving Loans.

          (a) Borrowers may on any date on or after the date that is 90 days following the Closing
Date, by notice to Agent (whereupon Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders),
increase the Revolver 1 Commitment or Revolver 2 Commitment hereunder with incremental revolving
loan commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Loans”) in an amount not to exceed
$50,000,000 in the aggregate (with minimum amounts of not less than $20,000,000 per increase (and
$5,000,000 increments thereof, or the balance of the Incremental Revolving Loan limit if it is
less than $5,000,000); provided that at the time of the effectiveness of any Incremental
Revolving Loan Amendment referred to below, (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing on such date or after giving effect to extensions of credit to be made on such
date, (b) each of the representations and warranties made by any Credit Party in or pursuant to
the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if
made on and as of such date (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to
an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and (c) Agent shall have received a
certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Borrower
Representative. Incremental Revolving Loans may be made by any existing Lender or by any other
financial institution or any fund that regularly invests in bank loans selected by Borrower
Representative (any such other financial institution or fund being called an “Incremental
Lender”); provided that Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Incremental Lender’s making such Incremental Revolving
Loans if such consent would be required under Section 11.1 for an assignment of Loans to
such Lender or Incremental Lender. No consent of the Lenders shall be required (other than the
Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loans). Commitments in respect of Incremental
Revolving Loans shall be made pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Revolving Loan
Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by
Borrowers, each Lender agreeing to

83

 

provide such Incremental Revolving Loans, if any, each Incremental Lender, if any, and Agent.
Any Incremental Revolving Loans made hereunder shall be deemed “Loans” hereunder and shall be
subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the existing Loans. No Lender shall be
obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Loans, unless it so agrees. On the date of any
borrowing of Incremental Revolving Loans, Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed
all outstanding Loans as of such date (with such reborrowing to consist of the types of Loans,
with related LIBOR Periods, if applicable, specified in a notice to Agent (which notice must be
received by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement)). The deemed payments made
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence in respect of each LIBOR Loan shall be subject to
indemnification by Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.14 if the deemed
payment occurs other than on the last day of the related LIBOR Periods.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Incremental Revolving
Loans shall be subject to the same terms as the existing Revolving Loans (including voluntary and
mandatory prepayment provisions), except that, unless such Incremental Revolving Loans are made a
part of the Revolving Loans (in which case all terms thereof shall be identical to those of the
Revolving Loans), provided that (a) the “effective margin” applicable to the respective
Incremental Revolving Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be deemed to include all upfront
or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average
life to maturity of such Incremental Revolving Loans and (2) four years) payable to all Lenders
providing such Incremental Revolving Loans or the imposition of an interest rate floor, but
exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are
not shared with all Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Loans) determined as of the
initial funding date for such Incremental Revolving Loans, may exceed the “effective margin”
applicable to any Revolving Loans or any other Incremental Revolving Loans (determined on the same
basis as provided in the preceding parenthetical) by up to 0.50% per annum (after giving effect to
any Incremental Facility Yield Adjustment, (b) the final stated maturity date for such Incremental
Revolving Loans may be later but not sooner) than the Commitment Termination Date, (c)
[intentionally omitted], (d) other than as set forth in clause (a) above, any minimum LIBOR Rate
or Base Rate applicable to such Incremental Revolving Loans may exceed the minimum LIBOR Rate and
Base Rate applicable to the outstanding Revolving Loans if such minimum LIBOR Rate and/or Base
Rate applicable to all then outstanding Revolving Loans is increased to match such minimum LIBOR
Rate and/or Base Rate applicable to such Incremental Revolving Loans, (e) Incremental Revolving
Loans may (i) rank junior in right of security and/or payment with the other Revolving Loans made
on the Closing Date or (ii) be unsecured, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), the Incremental
Revolving Loans will be established by a separate facility from the then existing Revolving Loans,
and (f) other terms may differ if reasonably satisfactory to Agent, Borrowers and the Lenders
providing such Incremental Revolving Loans.

          (c) If the existing Lenders are unwilling to increase their applicable Commitments by an
amount equal to the requested Incremental Revolving Loans, Agent, in consultation with Borrowers,
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain one or more financial institutions which
are not then Lenders (which financial institution may be suggested by Borrowers) to become a party
to this Agreement and to provide the requested Incremental

84

 

Revolving Loans; provided, however, that compensation for any such assistance
by Agent shall be mutually agreed by Agent and Borrowers.

     2.17 Bank Products. Any Credit Party may request and any Lender or Agent may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, arrange for such Credit Party to obtain from such Lender or any
Affiliate of such Lender or Agent, as applicable, Bank Products although no Credit Party is
required to do so. If any Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of any Lender or Agent, the
Credit Parties agree to indemnify and hold the Lenders, or any of them, harmless from any and all
costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Lenders, or any of them, which arise from
any indemnity given by such Lender or Agent to any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable,
related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained herein is
intended to limit the Credit Parties’ rights, with respect to such Lender or Agent or any of their
respective Affiliates, as applicable, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of documents
by and between the Credit Parties and such Person which relate to any Bank Products. The agreement
contained in this Section 2.17 shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Credit
Parties acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Bank Products from any Lender or Agent or their
respective Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender or Agent or their
respective Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of such Lender or Agent or
their respective Affiliates.

3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

     3.1 Conditions to the Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement. The effectiveness of
the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the Second Amendment is
subject to the satisfactions of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of the Second
Amendment.

     3.2 Further Conditions to Each Loan and Each Continuation/Conversion. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no Lender shall be obligated to fund any Advance or incur any
Letter of Credit Obligation, if, as of the date thereof:

          (a) (i) any representation or warranty by any Credit Party contained herein or in any other
Loan Document is untrue or incorrect in any material respect (with respect to any representation
or warranty that is not otherwise qualified as to materiality) as of such date as determined by
Agent, except to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier
date and except for changes therein expressly permitted or expressly contemplated by this
Agreement and (ii) Agent or Requisite Lenders have determined not to make such Advance or incur
such Letter of Credit Obligation as a result of the fact that such warranty or representation is
untrue or incorrect;

          (b) (i) any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) Agent or
Requisite Lenders shall have determined not to make any Advance or incur any Letter of Credit
Obligation as a result of that Default or Event of Default; or

          (c) after giving effect to any Advance (or the incurrence of any Letter of Credit
Obligations), the outstanding principal amount of the aggregate Revolving Loan would

85

 

exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Maximum Amount, in each case, less
the then outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan.

The request and acceptance by any Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance or the incurrence of any
Letter of Credit Obligations shall be deemed to constitute, as of the date thereof, a
representation and warranty by Borrowers that the conditions in this Section 3.2 have been
satisfied.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     To induce Lenders to make the Loans and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations, the Credit

duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and, each such Loan
Document shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may

or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

     4.4 Financial Statements and Business Plan. Except for the Business Plan, all
Financial Statements concerning Visteon and its Subsidiaries that are referred to below have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered (except as

footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments) and fairly present, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

          (a) Financial Statements. The following Financial Statements attached to a
certificate of a Financial Officer of Borrower Representative have been delivered on the Closing
Date:

               (iii) The unaudited balance sheets and related statements of income of Visteon and its
Subsidiaries for the months ended July 31, 2010 and August 31, 2010.

          (b) Pro Forma. The Pro Forma delivered on the Closing Date and attached to a
certificate of a Financial Officer of Borrower Representative was prepared by Borrowers giving Pro
Forma Effect to the Related Transactions, was based on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets
of Borrowers and each of their respective Subsidiaries dated June 30, 2010 and was prepared in
accordance with GAAP, with only such adjustments thereto as would be required in accordance with
GAAP. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced
above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of Visteon to be
reasonable at the time made, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Lenders that (a) such
financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the
projected results set forth therein by a material amount, (b) the financial and business
projections furnished to Agent or the Lenders are subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, which may be beyond the control of Visteon and its Subsidiaries, (c) no assurances
are given by any of Visteon or its Subsidiaries that the results forecasted in the projections
will be realized and (d) the actual results may differ from the forecasted results in such
projections and such differences may be material.

          (c) Business Plan. The Business Plan delivered on the Closing Date and attached to a
certificate of a Financial Officer of Borrower Representative has been prepared by Borrowers in
light of the past operations of their businesses, and reflect monthly forecasts for the twelve
month period commencing October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011, and annual forecasts on a
year-by-year basis thereafter through Fiscal Year 2017. The Business Plan is based upon the same
accounting principles as those used in the preparation of the financial statements described above
and the estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which Borrowers believe to be reasonable
and fair in light of current conditions and current facts known to Borrowers and, as of the
Closing Date, reflect Borrowers’ good faith estimates believed to be reasonable by Visteon at the
time made of the future financial performance of Borrowers for the period set forth therein. The
projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are
based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of Visteon to be reasonable
at the time made, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Lenders that (a) such financial
information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected
results set forth therein by a material amount, (b) the financial and business projections
furnished to Agent or the Lenders are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
which may be beyond the control of Visteon and its Subsidiaries, (c) no assurances are given by
any of Visteon or its Subsidiaries that the results forecasted in the projections will be realized
and (d) the actual results may differ from the forecasted results in such projections and such
differences may be material.

          (d) Undisclosed Liabilities; Burdensome Restrictions. None of the Borrowers or their
respective Restricted Subsidiaries has any material Guarantied Obligations, contingent liabilities
or liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments,
including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation
in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial

88

 

statements referred to in this Section 4.4. During the period from August 31, 2010 to
and including the Closing Date, there has been no disposition by any Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property. No Credit Party knows
of any unusual or unduly burdensome restriction, restraint or hazard relative to the business or
properties of the Credit Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries that is not customary for or
generally applicable to similarly situated businesses in the same industry as the Credit Parties
and their Restricted Subsidiaries.

     4.5 Material Adverse Effect. Since the Closing Date, no event has occurred, that
alone or together with other events, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     4.6 Ownership of Property; Liens. As of the Closing Date, the real estate (“Real
Estate”) listed in Schedule (4.6) constitutes all of the real property owned, leased,
subleased, or used by any Credit Party. Each Credit Party owns fee simple title to all of its
owned Real Estate, and valid leasehold interests in all of its leased Real Estate. Schedule
(4.6) further describes any Real Estate with respect to which any Credit Party is a lessor,
sublessor or assignor as of the Closing Date. Each Credit Party also has title to, or valid
leasehold interests in, all of its personal property and assets. As of the Closing Date, none of
the properties and assets of any Credit Party are subject to any Liens other than Permitted
Encumbrances, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to any Credit Party that
may result in any Liens (including Liens arising under Environmental Laws) other than Permitted
Encumbrances. Each Credit Party has received all deeds, assignments, waivers, consents,
nondisturbance and attornment or similar agreements, bills of sale and other documents, and has
duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect
such Credit Party’s right, title and interest in and to all such Real Estate and other properties
and assets. Schedule (4.6) also describes any purchase options, rights of first refusal or
other similar contractual rights, if any, pertaining to any material Real Estate. As of the
Closing Date, all of the Collateral (including, without limitation, Inventory, Equipment, books and
records) is at one or more of the locations listed on Schedule (4.6) or is in-transit
between such locations. As of the Closing Date, no portion of any Credit Party’s Real Estate has
suffered any material damage by fire or other casualty loss that has not heretofore been repaired
and restored in all material respects to its original condition or otherwise remedied.

     4.7 Labor Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule (4.7) or as could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no strikes or other material
labor disputes against any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party are
pending or, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to
employees of each Credit Party and each Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party comply with the
Fair Labor Standards Act and each other federal, state, local or foreign law applicable to such
matters; (c) all payments due from any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit
Party for employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the
books of such Credit Party or such Restricted Subsidiary; (d) there is no organizing activity
involving any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party pending or, to any
Credit Party’s knowledge, threatened by any labor union or group of employees; (e) there are no
representation proceedings pending or, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, threatened with the
National Labor Relations Board or any other applicable labor relations board, and no labor
organization or group

89

 

of employees of any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party has made a
pending demand for recognition; and (f) there are no material complaints or charges against any
Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party pending or, to the knowledge of any
Credit Party, threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on,
arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of
employment by any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party of any individual.

     4.8 Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. As of the Closing Date, (a) Schedule
(4.8) sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and Joint
Venture of the Borrowers and, as to each such Subsidiary and Joint Venture, the percentage of each
class of Stock owned by any Credit Party and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options,
warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to
employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Stock of the
Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except as created by the Loan Documents.

     4.9 Government Regulation. No Credit Party is an “investment company” or a company
controlled by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940. The making of the Loans by Lenders to Borrowers, the incurrence of the Letter of Credit
Obligations on behalf of Borrowers, the application of the proceeds thereof and repayment thereof
and the consummation of the Related Transactions will not violate any provision of any such statute
or any rule, regulation or order issued by the SEC or any other securities regulation authority or
securities exchange.

     4.10 Margin Regulations. No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally
or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
“purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the
Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being
referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). No Credit Party owns any Margin Stock, and none of
the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly
or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of
reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin
Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit
under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or
X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Credit Party will take or permit to be taken any action that
might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

     4.11 Taxes. All Federal and other material tax returns, reports and statements,
including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any Credit
Party or any Restricted Subsidiary have been filed (after giving effect to any extensions) with the
appropriate Governmental Authority, and all Taxes have been paid prior to the date on which any
fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof excluding Taxes
or other amounts being contested in accordance with Section 6.2(b). Except as described in
Schedule (4.11), each Credit Party and each Restricted Subsidiary has withheld from its
respective employees for all periods all material Taxes required to have been withheld pursuant to
all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and such withholdings have been timely

90

 

paid to the respective Governmental Authorities. Schedule (4.11) sets forth as of the
Closing Date those taxable years for which any Credit Party’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s tax
returns are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority, and
any assessments or threatened assessments (in writing) in connection with such audit, or otherwise
currently outstanding. Except as described in Schedule (4.11), as of the Closing Date, no
Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary has executed or filed with the IRS or any other domestic
or foreign Governmental Authority any agreement or other document extending, or having the effect
of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any Charges or Taxes. Except as described
on Schedule (4.11), as of the Closing Date, none of the Credit Parties, Restricted
Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors is liable for any Charges: (a) under any agreement
(including any tax sharing agreements other than those solely among Credit Parties and their
Restricted Subsidiaries) or (b) to each Credit Party’s knowledge, as a transferee. Except as
described on Schedule (4.11), as of the Closing Date, no Credit Party has agreed or been
requested to make any adjustment under IRC Section 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting
method or otherwise, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.12 ERISA.

          (a) Borrowers have previously delivered or made available to Agent all Pension Plans
(including Title IV Plans and Multiemployer Plans) and all Retiree Welfare Plans, as now in
effect. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified Plan has either received a
favorable determination letter from the IRS or may rely on a favorable opinion letter issued by
the IRS, and to the knowledge of any Credit Party nothing has occurred that would be reasonably
expected to cause the loss of such qualification or tax-exempt status. Each Plan is in compliance
in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the IRC and its terms, including
the timely filing of all reports required under the IRC or ERISA. Except as has not resulted, or
could not reasonably be expected to result, in an ERISA Lien (whether or not perfected), neither
any Credit Party nor ERISA Affiliate has failed to make any material contribution or pay any
material amount due as required by either Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 of ERISA or the
terms of any such Plan. No “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the IRC, has occurred with respect to any Plan that would subject any Credit Party
to a material tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the IRC.

          (b) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no
Title IV Plan or Foreign Plan has any material Unfunded Pension Liability; (ii) no ERISA Event has
occurred or to the knowledge of any Credit Party is reasonably expected to occur; (iii) there are
no pending, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened material claims (other than claims
for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions or lawsuits, asserted or instituted against
any Plan or any Person as fiduciary or sponsor of any Plan; (iv) no Credit Party or ERISA
Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any material liability as a result of a
complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) within the last five years no
Title IV Plan of any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate has been terminated, whether or not in a
“standard termination” as that term is used in Section 4041 of ERISA, nor has any Title IV Plan of
any Credit Party or any ERISA Affiliate (determined at any time within the last five years) with
material Unfunded Pension Liabilities been transferred

91

 

outside of the “controlled group” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA) of any
Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate (determined at such time).

          (c) Each Foreign Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the
requirements of any and all applicable requirements of applicable law and has been maintained,
where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except for any
noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Neither any Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has incurred any obligation in connection with
the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan, except as could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.13 No Litigation. No action, claim, lawsuit, demand, investigation or proceeding is
now pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened in writing against any Credit
Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party, before any Governmental Authority or before
any arbitrator or panel of arbitrators (collectively, “Litigation”), (a) that challenges
such Credit Party’s right or power to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any
action taken thereunder, or (b) that has a reasonable risk of being determined adversely to any
Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party and that, if so determined, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule
(4.13), as of the Closing Date there is no Litigation pending or, to any Credit Party’s
knowledge, threatened in writing, that seeks damages in excess of $5,000,000 or injunctive relief
against, or alleges criminal misconduct of, any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any
Credit Party.

     4.14 Brokers. Except as set forth on Schedule (4.14), no broker or finder
brought about the obtaining, making or closing of the Loans or the Related Transactions, and no
Credit Party or Affiliate thereof has any obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or
brokerage fees in connection therewith.

     4.15 Intellectual Property. As of the Closing Date, each Credit Party owns or has
rights to use all Intellectual Property necessary to continue to conduct its business as now
conducted by it and material to such Credit Party’s business, taken as a whole, except where
failure to so own or have rights could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Each issued or applied-for Patent, registered or applied-for Trademark, registered or
applied-for Copyright owned by any Credit Party is listed, together with application or
registration numbers, as applicable, on Schedule (4.15). Schedule (4.15) also sets
forth a list of Licenses that are material to each Credit Party’s business as now conducted by it.
To the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, each Credit Party conducts its business and affairs without
infringement of any Intellectual Property of any other Person that could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule (4.15), no Credit
Party is aware of any material infringement claim by any other Person with respect to any material
Intellectual Property owned by such Credit Party.

     4.16 Full Disclosure. No information contained in this Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, Financial Statements or Collateral Reports or other written reports from time to
time prepared by any Credit Party (other than the projections referred to below and

92

 

information of a general economic or industry nature) and delivered hereunder or any written
statement prepared by any Credit Party and furnished (taken as a whole) by or on behalf of any
Credit Party to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement contains or will
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of
the circumstances under which they were made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates
thereto). The Business Plans from time to time delivered hereunder are or will be based upon the
estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which Borrowers believed at the time of delivery
to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and current facts known to Borrowers as of
such delivery date, and reflect Borrowers’ good faith estimates of the future financial performance
of Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries and of the other information projected therein for
the period set forth therein. Such Business Plan is not a guaranty of future performance and
actual results may differ from those set forth in such Business Plan. The projections and pro
forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith
estimates and assumptions believed by management of Visteon to be reasonable at the time made, it
being acknowledged and agreed by the Lenders that (a) such financial information as it relates to
future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a
material amount, (b) the financial and business projections furnished to Agent or the Lenders are
subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, which may be beyond the control of Visteon
and its Subsidiaries, (c) no assurances are given by any of Visteon or its Subsidiaries that the
results forecasted in the projections will be realized and (d) the actual results may differ from
the forecasted results in such projections and such differences may be material.

          (a) Except as set forth in Schedule (4.17), as of the Closing Date: (i) the Real
Estate of each Credit Party and each of their Restricted Subsidiaries is free of contamination
from any Hazardous Material except for such contamination that would not result in Environmental
Liabilities that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) no Credit
Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party has caused or suffered to occur any
material Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, from or about any of its
Real Estate except for such Release of Hazardous Materials that would not result in Environmental
Liabilities that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) the Credit
Parties and each of their Restricted Subsidiaries are and have, for the past eight (8) years, been
in compliance with all Environmental Laws, except for such noncompliance that would not result in
Environmental Liabilities which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

as valid, uncontested and in good standing, and (C) are in compliance with all Environmental
Permits required by Environmental Laws for the operation of their respective businesses as
presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to so obtain, possess
or comply with such Environmental Permits would not result in Environmental Liabilities that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge,
there is no Litigation arising under or related to any Environmental Laws, Environmental Permits
or Hazardous Material that seeks damages, penalties, fines, costs or expenses the payment of which
could reasonably be expected

93

 

to have a Material Adverse Effect or injunctive relief which could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect against, or that alleges criminal misconduct by, any Credit Party
or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party; (vi) no written notice has been received by any
Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party identifying it as a “potentially
responsible party” or requesting information under CERCLA or analogous state statutes, except for

Subsidiaries have provided to Agent copies of existing environmental reports, reviews and audits
and written information sufficient, along with Schedule (4.17), to disclose actual or
potential material Environmental Liabilities, in each case relating to any Credit Party or any
Restricted Subsidiary of any Credit Party.

          (b) Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of Agent, any other secured

conduct with respect to the ownership, operation or management of any of its Real Estate, (B)
undertaking, work or task performed by any employee, agent or contractor of any Credit Party or

Subsidiary of any Credit Party with Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits.

all Unrestricted Subsidiaries at any time exceed 10% of the EBITDA of Borrowers and their

Subsidiary (as applicable) therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market
value of all such Person’s assets and the Investment resulting from such designation must otherwise
be in compliance with Section 7.2. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any
Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Borrower or any other Subsidiary listed on Schedule (6.16) as
not being permitted to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary. With respect to the assets of Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Restricted Subsidiaries

undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Credit
Parties, and all rights of Agent and each Lender, all as contained in the Loan Documents, shall not
terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall
continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the payment
obligations under Sections 2.13 and 2.14, and the indemnities contained in the Loan
Documents shall survive the Termination Date.

Loan Document ceases to be a valid and perfected first priority Lien (except as otherwise
permitted herein or therein) in any of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby except to

the Collateral Documents or to file Code financing statements or continuation statements or other
equivalent filings and except, as to Collateral consisting of Real Estate to the extent that such
losses are covered by a Lender’s title insurance policy and the related insurer shall not have

     9.2 Remedies.

          (a) To the extent permitted under Section 2.5(d), if any applicable Event of Default
described in Section 2.5(d) has occurred and is continuing, the rate of interest
applicable to the Loans and the Letter of Credit Fees shall increase to the Default Rate. In
addition, Agent shall at the written request of the Requisite Lenders suspend the Commitments with
respect to additional Advances and/or the incurrence of additional Letter of Credit Obligations,
whereupon any additional Advances and additional Letter of Credit Obligations shall be made or
incurred in the sole discretion of the Requisite Lenders so long as such Event of Default is
continuing.

129

 

          (b) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall, at the written
request of the Requisite Lenders, take any or all of the following actions: (i) terminate the
Revolving Loan facility with respect to further Advances or the incurrence of further Letter of
Credit Obligations; (ii) reduce the Commitments from time to time; (iii) declare all or any
portion of the Obligations, including all or any portion of any Loan to be forthwith due and
payable, and require that the Letter of Credit Obligations be cash collateralized in the manner
set forth in Section 2.2, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers and each other Credit Party; or (iv)
exercise any rights and remedies provided to Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity,
including all remedies provided under the Code and any other applicable law of any jurisdiction;
provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section
9.1(k) or Section 9.1(l), all of the Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable without declaration, notice or demand by any Person. Agent shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable, provide to Borrower Representative notice of any action taken pursuant to this
Section 9.2(b) (but failure to provide such notice shall not impair the rights of Agent or
the Lenders hereunder and shall not impose any liability upon Agent or the Lenders for not
providing such notice).

     9.3 Waivers by Credit Parties. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or
by applicable law, each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law (including for
purposes of Section 13): (a) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment,
dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment,
maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper,
accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by
Agent as Collateral on which any Credit Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and
confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard, (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to
Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, the
Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to
exercise any of its remedies, and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and
exemption laws. Each Credit Party acknowledges that in the event such Credit Party fails to
perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and the Lenders;
therefore, such Credit Party agrees, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by
applicable law, that Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive
relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

10. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

     10.1 Appointment of Agent. Each of MSSF, as Agent and Co-Collateral Agent, and Bank
of America, N.A., as Funding Agent and Co-Collateral Agent, is hereby appointed to act on behalf of
all Lenders with respect to the administration of the Loans and the Commitments made to Borrowers
and to act as agent on behalf of all Lenders with respect to Collateral of Credit Parties under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 10.1 are
solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Credit Party nor any other Person shall have any
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions
and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent, Funding Agent and
Co-Collateral Agents shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not

130

 

assume or shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency
or trust with or for any Credit Party or any other Person. Agent, Funding Agent and Co-Collateral
Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The duties of Agent, Funding Agent and Co-Collateral
Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent, Funding Agent and Co-Collateral
Agents shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each of Agent, Funding Agent and Co-Collateral Agents
shall not have any duty to disclose, nor shall they be liable for failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Account
Debtor that is communicated to or obtained by MSSF, Bank of America, N.A. or any of their
respective Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent, Funding Agent and Co-Collateral Agents nor
any of their respective Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except
for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

     If Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall request instructions from Requisite
Lenders, Supermajority Revolver 1 Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action
(including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then
Agent, Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents shall be entitled to refrain from such act or
taking such action unless and until Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, as
applicable, shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Revolver 1
Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent, Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral
Agents shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent, Funding Agent
and the Co-Collateral Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent,
Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, Funding Agent or the
Co-Collateral Agents, expose Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents to Environmental
Liabilities or (c) if Agent, Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents shall not first be
indemnified to their satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred
by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing,
no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent, Funding Agent or the
Co-Collateral Agents as a result of Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents acting or
refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the
instructions of Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Revolver 1 Lenders or all affected Lenders, as
applicable.

     10.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent, Funding Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents
nor any of their Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages caused by its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final and non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:

131

 

(a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of
the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to
Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty
or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents on the part of any Credit Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and
records) of any Credit Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (f)
shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties; and (g) shall be entitled to delegate any of its duties hereunder to one or more
sub-agents.

Except for action requiring the approval of Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Revolver 1 Lenders or
all Lenders, as the case may be, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to
exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, and with respect
to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in
respect of, this Agreement, unless Agent shall have been instructed by Requisite Lenders,
Supermajority Revolver 1 Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, to exercise or refrain from
exercising such rights or to take or refrain from taking such action. Agent shall not incur any
liability to the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement with respect to anything which it
may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment or which may seem to it to
be necessary or desirable in the circumstances, except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment. Agent shall not be liable to any Lender in acting or refraining from acting under this
Agreement in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Revolver 1
Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such
instructions shall be binding on all Lenders.

     10.3 MSSF and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments hereunder, MSSF shall have
the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated, include MSSF in its individual capacity. MSSF and its
Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any
Credit Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of
any Credit Party or any such Affiliate, all as if MSSF were not Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to Lenders. MSSF and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from
any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to
account for the same to Lenders.

132

 

     10.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements referred to
in Section 4.4(a) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit and financial analysis of the Credit Parties and its own decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other
Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly
consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest. Each Lender acknowledges
the potential conflict of interest between MSSF, as a Lender, holding disproportionate interests in
the Loans, and MSSF, as Agent.

     10.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent, Funding Agent and the
Co-Collateral Agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties and without limiting the
obligations of Credit Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents in
any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken
or omitted to be taken by Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents in connection therewith;
provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from Agent’s, Funding Agent’s or the Co-Collateral Agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. Without
limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent, Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral
Agents promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent, Funding Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the
extent that Agent, Funding Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents are not reimbursed for such expenses
by Credit Parties.

     10.6 Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Representative. Upon any such
resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then
the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender,
if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank,
financial institution or trust company. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the
foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the
resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and (a) the Requisite Lenders shall
thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder and (b) Agent shall deliver any possessory
Collateral in its possession in accordance with any applicable Intercreditor Agreement (if any) or
to such Person as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, in each case, until such

133

 

time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any
successor Agent appointed by Requisite Lenders hereunder shall be subject to the approval of
Borrower Representative, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided
that such approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor
Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall
continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section
10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     10.7 Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), (k) or
(l), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without prior
notice to any Credit Party or to any Person other than Agent, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any
of its offices for the account (other than Excluded Accounts (as defined in the Security
Agreement)) of any Borrower or Guarantor (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such
Borrower or Guarantor) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or that
holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower or Guarantor against and on account
of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due; provided that the Lender exercising
such offset rights shall give notice thereof to the affected Credit Party promptly after exercising
such rights. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account
of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other
Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata
Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset
or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares (other than offset rights exercised by any Lender with respect to Sections 2.11,
2.13 or 2.14). Each Lender’s obligation under this Section 10.7 shall be
in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Loans under Section 2.1 and Letter of Credit
Obligations under Section 2.2. Each Credit Party that is a Borrower or Guarantor agrees,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to offset with
respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations owed to it and may sell
participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter
recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by
that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest. If a Non-Funding
Lender or Impacted Lender receives any such payment as described in this Section 9.7, such
Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral
requirements set forth in Section 10.8(a).

     10.8 Advances; Payments; Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share; Return of Payments;
Non-Funding Lenders; Dissemination of Information; Actions in Concert.

134

 

          (a) Advances; Payments.

               (i) Lenders shall refund or participate in the Swing Line Loan in accordance with clause
(iii) of Section 2.1(b). If Swing Line Lender declines to make a Swing Line Loan or if
Swing Line Availability is zero, Funding Agent shall notify Lenders, promptly after receipt of a
Notice of Revolving Credit Advance and in any event prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date
such Notice of Revolving Advance is received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of
transmission. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving
Credit Advance available to Funding Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to Funding Agent’s
account as set forth in Annex B not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested
funding date, in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
requested funding date, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in
Funding Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms
hereof, Funding Agent shall make the requested Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower designated
by Borrower Representative in the Notice of Revolving Credit Advance. All payments by each Lender
shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

               (ii) Not less than once during each calendar week or more frequently at Funding Agent’s
election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Funding Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone
(confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), telecopy, or similar form of transmission, of the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of
Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Provided that each Lender has funded all payments or
Advances required to be made by it and has purchased all participations required to be purchased by
it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of such Settlement Date, Funding Agent
shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by
Borrowers since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by
it. Funding Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against any Non-Funding
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrowers and hold, in a non-interest bearing
accounts, all payments received by Funding Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender
pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral for any unfunded reimbursement obligations of such
Non-Funding Lender until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Obligations
have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated, and upon such
unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Funding Agent shall
be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding
Lender. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Funding Agent which are not paid when due
shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that
are Base Rate Loans. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as
specified in writing by such Lender to Funding Agent) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on
the next Business Day following each Settlement Date.

          (b) Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Funding Agent may assume that each
Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Credit Advance available to Funding Agent on
each funding date unless Funding Agent has received prior written notice from such Lender that it
does not intend to make its Pro Rata Share of a Loan because all or any of the conditions set
forth in Section 3.2 have not been satisfied. If such Pro Rata Share is not,

135

 

in fact, paid to Funding Agent by such Lender when due, Funding Agent will be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any
kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Funding Agent’s
demand, Funding Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Borrowers shall repay such
amount to Funding Agent within three (3) Business Days of such demand. Nothing in this
Section 10.8(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
to require Funding Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. Unless Funding Agent
has received prior written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to make its Pro Rata
Share of each Loan available to Funding Agent because all or any of the conditions set forth in
Section 3.2 have not been satisfied to the extent that Funding Agent advances funds to any
Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such
Advance is made, Funding Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on
such Advance until reimbursed by such Lender.

          (c) Return of Payments.

               (i) If Funding Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or
expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Funding Agent from Borrowers and
such related payment is not received by Funding Agent, then Funding Agent will be entitled to
recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any
kind.

               (ii) If Funding Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Funding Agent under
this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any
insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, Funding Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to
any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Funding Agent on demand any portion of such
amount that Funding Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if
any, as Funding Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

          (d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Advance,
reimbursement of any Letter of Credit Obligation or any payment required by it hereunder or to
purchase any participation in any Swing Line Loan to be made or purchased by it on the date
specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other
Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance or purchase such participation on such date,
but neither any Other Lender nor Funding Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any
Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, purchase a participation or make any other payment required
hereunder subject to the reallocation provisions in Sections 2.2(b)(i) and
2.1(b)(iii). Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding
Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or
constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of
“Requisite Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights
under or with respect to any Loan Document except with respect to any amendment, modification or
consent described in Section 12.2(c)(i)-(iv) that directly affects such

136

 

Non-Funding Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Requisite Lenders, the Loans and
Commitments held by any Non-Funding Lender shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments
outstanding. At Borrower Representative’s request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to
Agent shall have the right with Agent’s reasonable consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but
shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender
agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the
Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans
held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the
date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment
Agreement. In the event that a Non-Funding Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.1 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such Non-Funding
Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 10.8(d) and presentation to such
Non-Funding Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this
Section 10.8(d), Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment
Agreement on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender, and any such Assignment Agreement so executed by
Agent, the replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section
10.8(d) and Section 11.1.

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

     10.9 Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or
enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (including exercising any rights of
setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being
the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and
the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite
Lenders; provided, however, that (i) each Lender shall be entitled to file a proof
of claim in any proceeding under any Insolvency Law to the extent that such Lender disagrees with
Agent’s composite proof of claim filed on behalf of all Lenders, (ii) each Lender shall be entitled
to vote its claim with respect to any plan of reorganization in any proceeding under any Insolvency
Law and (iii) each Lender shall be entitled to pursue its deficiency claim after liquidation of all
or substantially all of the Collateral and application of the proceeds therefrom.

     10.10 Procedures. Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other
Person to whom any Obligations are owed to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from
time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental
thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby authorized to establish
procedures to make available or deliver, or to accept, notices, documents

137

 

and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion on, E-Systems. The
posting, completion and/or submission by any Credit Party of any communication pursuant to an
E-System shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Credit Parties that any
representation, warranty, certification or other similar statement required by the Loan Documents
to be provided, given or made by a Credit Party in connection with any such communication is true,
correct and complete except as expressly noted in such communication or otherwise on such E-System.

     10.11 Collateral Matters.

          (a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to
release or evidence such release (or subordinate) any Liens upon any Collateral or any guaranty of
the Obligations, (i) upon the Termination Date; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed
of if Borrower Representative certifies to Agent that the sale or Disposition is made in
compliance with this Agreement and the Loan Documents (or otherwise is not prohibited) (and Agent
may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry) or such sale or
Disposition is approved by the Requisite Lenders; (iii) constituting property in which Credit
Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv)
constituting property leased to Credit Parties under a lease which has expired or been terminated
in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Upon request by Agent or Borrower Representative
at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any Lien upon particular
types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.11.

          (b) Upon receipt by Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 10.11(a)
from Lenders of Agent’s authority to release (or subordinate) any Liens upon particular types or
items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower
Representative, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such
documents as may be necessary to evidence the release (or subordination) of its Liens upon such
Collateral; provided, however, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any
such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose 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
Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of
Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by Credit Parties, including the proceeds of
any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

     10.12 Additional Agents. None of the Lenders or other entities identified on the
facing page of this Agreement as an “arranger”, “bookrunner”, “Documentation Agent” or “Syndication
Agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without
limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and
will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other entities so identified in deciding to enter into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking action hereunder or thereunder.

138

 

     10.13 Distribution of Materials to Lenders and L/C Issuers.

          (a) The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices,
communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the
Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be disseminated by, or on
behalf of, Agent, and made available to, the Lenders and L/C Issuers by posting such Borrower
Materials on Intralinks® or a similar E-System (the “Borrower Workspace”). The
Borrowers authorize Agent to download copies of its logos from its website and post copies thereof
on the Borrower Workspace. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be
“public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Borrowers hereby agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to
identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and
that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at
a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof,
(ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized
Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or
not material information (although it may be sensitive, confidential and proprietary) with respect
to the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal and
state securities laws, (iii) all the Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made
available through a portion of the Borrower Workspace designated “Public Investor”, and (iv) Agent
shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable
only for posting on a portion of the Borrower Workspace not designated “Public Investor.”

          (b) Each Lender and L/C Issuer represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the
Borrower Materials may contain MNPI concerning the Borrowers, their Affiliates or their
securities, (ii) it has developed compliance policies and procedures regarding the handling and
use of MNPI, and (iii) it shall use all such Borrower Materials in accordance with Section
12.8 and any applicable laws and regulations, including federal and state securities laws and
regulations.

          (c) If any Lender or L/C Issuer has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning
Borrowers, their Affiliates or their securities, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that,
notwithstanding such election, Agent and/or the Borrowers will, from time to time, make available
syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of
administering the credit facilities, including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to the
credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s
administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information
(which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s compliance policies and
Contractual Obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws;
provided that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant
Lender or L/C Issuer hereby agrees to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day)
provide such a contact to Agent and Borrower Representative upon oral or written request therefor
by Agent or Borrower Representative. Notwithstanding such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s election to
abstain from receiving MNPI, such Lender or L/C
Issuer acknowledges that if such Lender or L/C Issuer chooses to communicate with Agent, it

139

 

assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Borrowers, their Affiliates or their securities.

     10.14 Co-Collateral Agents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, all determinations of the Co-Collateral Agents under the Loan Documents shall be
made jointly by the Co-Collateral Agents; provided that, in the event that the
Co-Collateral Agents cannot agree on any matter to be determined by the Co-Collateral Agents, the
determination shall be made by the individual Co-Collateral Agent asserting the most conservative
credit judgment or declining to permit the requested action for which consent is being sought by
the applicable Credit Party. This provision shall be binding upon any successor to a Co-Collateral
Agent.

11. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

     11.1 Assignment and Participations.

          (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.1, any Lender may make an assignment, or
sell participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Loans, Letter of Credit
Obligations and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s
rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder (other than to an Excluded Party
as reasonably determined by Agent and with Borrowers’ consent with respect to any Excluded Party
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)). Any assignment by a
Lender shall be subject to the following conditions:

               (i) Assignment Agreement. Any assignment by a Lender shall require (A) the execution
of an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 11.1(a) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
and acknowledged by Agent and (B) the payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 by the
assignor or assignee to Agent (unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund). Agent shall maintain at one of its offices listed in Section 12.10 (as
may be updated from time to time pursuant to Section 12.10), a copy of each Assignment
Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). Agent shall accept and record into the Register each Assignment Agreement
that it receives which are executed and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and the Lenders, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

               (ii) Minimum Amounts.

                    (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an

140

 

assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

                    (B) in any case not described in paragraph (a)(ii)(A) of this Section, the aggregate
amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the
applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent or, if “Effective Date” is
specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000
and in increments of $1,000,000, unless each of (1) Agent and (2) so long as no Event of Default
under Sections 9.1(a), (k) or (l) has occurred and is continuing or any
Event of Default under Section 9.1(b) solely with respect to Section 7.10 has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, otherwise consent (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to such
assignment unless the Borrower Representative shall have objected thereto by written notice to
Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received such Assignment Agreement).

               (iii) Proportionate Amounts. 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 with
respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (iii) shall not
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate
tranches on a non-pro rata basis (if any).

               (iv) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the
extent required by paragraph (a)(ii)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

                    (A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a),
(k) or (l) has occurred and is continuing or any Event of Default under Section
9.1(b) solely with respect to Section 7.10 has occurred and is continuing at the time
of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund or (z) such assignment is to or by MSSF in connection with the initial syndication of the
Loans; provided that Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment
unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within five (5) Business Days after
having received notice thereof;

                    (B) the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of an unfunded Revolving Loan if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

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

141

 

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

          (b) In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 11.1, the assignee
shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all
other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with
respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment.
Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct
obligation of Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a
“Lender”. In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and
not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In
the event Agent or any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations,
Agent or any such Lender shall so notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall, upon the request of Agent
or such Lender, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, (i) any Lender may at any
time pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and any Lender that is an investment fund may assign the
Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
to another investment fund managed by the same investment advisor; provided, that no such
pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document and (ii) no assignment shall be made to any Credit
Party, any Subsidiary of a Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party.

          (c) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with
the understanding that all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if that
Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be
entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions
directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable
with respect to, the Loan; (ii) any extension of the final maturity date thereof; and (iii) any
release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents). Solely for purposes of
Sections 2.11 and 2.14 each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a participation
shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrowers to the participant and the participant shall
be considered to be a “Lender”; provided, that, a participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 than the applicable Lender from whom it
received its participation would have been entitled with respect to the participation sold to such
participant (unless the sale of the participation to the participant is made with Borrower
Representative’s prior written consent). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence
no Borrower or Credit Party shall have any obligation or duty to any participant. Neither
Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any
participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such
sale had occurred.

          (d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 11.1, no Lender shall, as between
Borrowers and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its

142

 

obligations
hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of
participation in, all or any part of the Loans, the Notes or other Obligations owed to such
Lender.

          (e) Each Credit Party executing this Agreement shall assist any Lender permitted to sell
assignments or participations under this Section 11.1 as reasonably required to enable the
assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including, the
execution and delivery of any and all reasonable and customary agreements, notes and other
documents and instruments as shall be requested. Each Credit Party executing this Agreement shall
certify the correctness, completeness and accuracy of all descriptions of the Credit Parties and
their respective affairs contained in any selling materials provided by them and all other
information provided by them and included in such materials, except that any Business Plan
delivered by Borrowers shall only be certified by Borrowers as having been prepared by Borrowers
in compliance with the representations contained in Section 4.4(c). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, no Lender may assign or sell a
participation to any Excluded Party.

          (f) Any Lender may furnish information concerning Credit Parties in the possession of such
Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and
participants); provided that such Lender shall obtain from assignees or participants
confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.8.

          (g) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign or
sell participations in any portion of its Loans or Commitments to a potential Lender or
participant, if, as of the date of the proposed assignment or sale, the assignee Lender or
participant would be subject to capital adequacy or similar requirements under Section
2.14(a), increased costs under Section 2.14(b), an inability to fund LIBOR Loans under
Section 2.14(c), or withholding taxes in accordance with Section 2.13(a).

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”), may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such
in writing by the Granting Lender to Agent and Borrowers, the option to provide to Borrowers all or
any part of any Loans that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to Borrowers
pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
by any SPC to make any Loan; and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such
Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC
hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if
such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. No SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). Any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrowers and
Agent and assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any
financial institutions (consented to by Borrowers and Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit
support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii)
disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity

143

 

enhancement to such SPC. This Section 11.1(h) may not be amended without the prior written
consent of each Granting Lender, all or any of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time
of such amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Granting Lender shall for all purposes,
including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or the obligation to pay any amount otherwise payable by the Granting Lender under the
Loan Documents, continue to be the Lender of record hereunder.

     11.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, Agent, Lender and their respective
successors and assigns (including, in the case of any Credit Party, a debtor-in-possession on
behalf of such Credit Party), except as otherwise provided herein or therein. No Credit Party may
assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior express written consent of
Agent and all of the Lenders. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other
conveyance by any Credit Party without the prior express written consent of Agent and all of the
Lenders shall be void. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining
the relative rights and obligations of each Credit Party, Agent and Lenders with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

	12.	 	MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties signatory
hereto, the Lenders, the Co-Collateral Agents and Agent. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Borrowers, the other Credit Parties party
hereto, Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents and each Lender, their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document, none of any Borrower, any other Credit
Party, any Lender, any Co-Collateral Agent or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein. The Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and may not be modified, altered or
amended except as set forth in Section 12.2. Any letter of interest, commitment letter,
fee letter or confidentiality agreement, if any, between any Credit Party and Agent, any
Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, predating this Agreement
and relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect shall be superseded by
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue to be binding
obligations of the parties in the manner and for the period provided for therein.

     12.2 Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by Borrowers and by Requisite Lenders, Supermajority Revolver
1 Lenders or all affected Lenders as set forth in Section 12.2(c). Except as set forth in
clauses (b) and (c) below, all such amendments,

144

 

modifications, terminations or
waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite
Lenders.

          (b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent with respect to any
provision of this Agreement that waives compliance with the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 to the making of any Loan or the incurrence of any
Letter of Credit Obligations shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
Requisite Lenders and Borrowers. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment
or modification with respect to any provision of this Agreement that (i) either (A) increases the
advance rates with respect to the Revolver 1 Borrowing Base above those in existence on the
Closing Date or (B) amends or modifies the definition of Revolver 1 Borrowing Base or any defined
term used therein (to the extent such amendment or modification would have the effect of making
more credit available) shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent,
the Co-Collateral Agents, L/C Issuer, Supermajority Revolver 1 Lenders and Borrowers or (ii)
either (A) increases the advance rates with respect to the Revolver 2 Borrowing Base above those
in existence on the Closing Date or (B) amends or modifies the definition of Revolver 2 Borrowing
Base or any defined term used therein (to the extent such amendment or modification would have the
effect of making more credit available) shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Co-Collateral Agents and Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, no waiver or consent with respect to any Default or any Event of
Default shall be effective for purposes of the conditions precedent to the making of Loans or the
incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations set forth in Section 3.2 unless the same shall
be in writing and signed by Agent, Requisite Lenders and Borrowers.

          (c) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by
Agent and each Lender and L/C Issuer directly affected thereby: (i) increase the principal amount
of any Lender’s Commitment (which action shall be deemed only to affect those Lenders whose
Commitments are increased and may be approved by Requisite Lenders, including those Lenders whose
Commitments are increased); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on, composition of
interest on (i.e., cash pay or payment-in-kind) or Fees payable with respect to any Loan or Letter
of Credit Obligations of any affected Lender (provided, however, in each case, the waiver of any
Default or Event of Default or the implementation of Default Rate interest shall not constitute a
reduction in the rate of interest or
any Fee); (iii) extend any scheduled payment date (other than payment dates of mandatory
prepayments under Section 2.3(b)(ii)-(iv)) or final maturity date of the principal amount
of any Loan of any Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest
or Fees or other Obligations as to any affected Lender (provided, however, in each case, the
waiver of any Default or Event of Default or the implementation of Default Rate interest shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or any Fee); (v) release or limit any Guaranty or,
except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, release (or subordinate the
Lien of Agent in), or permit any Credit Party to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of the Revolver Priority Collateral (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all
Lenders and the L/C Issuer); (vi) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Loans that shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any
action hereunder; (vii) amend or waive this Section 12.2 or the definitions of the term
“Requisite Lenders” or “Supermajority Revolver 1 Lenders”; or (viii) amend the

145

 

allocation and
waterfalls in Section 2.9. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver (other than
a waiver of any Event of Default) shall, unless in writing and signed by Co-Collateral Agents and
Supermajority Lenders amend or waive the definition of the term “Excess Availability”.
Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of
Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, Funding Agent or L/C Issuer, under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, including any increase in the L/C Sublimit or any release or limit of any Guaranty
or release of any Collateral requiring a writing signed by all Lenders, shall be effective unless
in writing and signed by Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, Funding Agent or L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each amendment,
modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall
be required for Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document. No amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the
written concurrence of the holder of that Note. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any
case shall entitle such Credit Party or any other Credit Party to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or
consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.2 shall be binding upon each holder of
the Obligations at the time outstanding and each future holder of the Obligations. Any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent, termination or release of any Bank Product Documents may be
effected by the parties thereto without the consent of the Lenders.

          (d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a
“Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, the
consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is
required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this
subsection (d) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, with respect
to this subsection (d), so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Borrower
Representative’s request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right
with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase
from any such Non-Consenting Lenders, and any such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall,
upon
Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person reasonably acceptable to Agent, all
of the Commitments of any such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance
of all Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and Fees with respect
thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed
Assignment Agreement. In the event that a Non-Consenting Lender does not execute an Assignment
Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such
Non-Consenting Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 12.2(d) and
presentation to such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment
pursuant to this Section 12.2(d), Borrower Representative shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to execute such Assignment Agreement on behalf of any such Non-Consenting Lender, and
any such Assignment Agreement so executed by Borrower Representative, the replacement Lender and
Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 12.2(d) and Section 11.1.

          (e) Upon all Letter of Credit Obligations being cash collateralized, cancelled or backed by
standby letters of credit in accordance with Section 2.2, the payment in full in

146

 

cash and
performance of all of the Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations), termination of the
Commitments and a release of all claims against Agent and Lenders, and so long as no suits,
actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting
any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, Agent shall deliver to
Borrowers termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate
to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.2, in the
event that the Borrowers request that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner that would
require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders and such modification or amendment is agreed
to by the Requisite Lenders, then with the consent of Borrower Representative, Agent and the
Requisite Lenders, Borrower Representative, Agent and the Requisite Lenders shall be permitted to
amend this Agreement without the consent of the Non-Consenting Lenders to provide for (i) the
termination of the Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender at the election of Borrower
Representative, Agent and the Requisite Lenders, (ii) simultaneously with the Commitment
termination provided for in the foregoing clause (i), the addition to this Agreement of
one or more other financial institutions (each of which shall be acceptable to Agent), or an
increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Requisite Lenders (with the written consent
thereof), so that the total Commitment after giving effect to such amendment shall be in the same
amount as the total Commitment immediately before giving effect to such amendment, so long as such
new or increased Commitments are on the same terms and provisions (including, without limitation,
economic terms with respect to interest rates, pricing, fees, maturity date, etc.) as the
Commitment terminated pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), (iii) if any Loans are outstanding at
the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial institutions
or Requisite Lender(s), as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full, at par, the
outstanding Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment
and (iv) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate to effect the foregoing
clauses (i)-(iii).

          (g) Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.2, if
Agent and Borrower Representative shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or
omission of a technical nature, in each case that is immaterial (as determined by Agent) in any
provision of the Loan Documents, then Agent and Borrower Representative shall be permitted to
amend such provisions and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or
consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the
Requisite Lenders within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

     12.3 Fees and Expenses. Borrowers shall reimburse: (i) Agent and the Co-Collateral
Agents for all reasonable documented fees, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including the reasonable fees and reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses of all of its
counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors); and (ii) Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents (and,
with respect to clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, all Lenders) for all
reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, including the reasonable documented fees,
reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including
environmental and

147

 

management consultants and appraisers), incurred in connection with the
negotiation, preparation and filing and/or recordation of the Loan Documents, and incurred in
connection with:

          (a) any amendment, modification or waiver of, consent with respect to, or termination of, any
of the Loan Documents or Related Transactions Documents or advice in connection with the
syndication and administration of the Loans made pursuant hereto or its rights hereunder or
thereunder;

          (b) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by
Agent, any Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person and whether as a party, witness or
otherwise) in any way relating to the Collateral, any of the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or
therewith, including any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any
appeal or review thereof; in connection with a case commenced by or against any or all of the
Credit Parties or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent by virtue of the Loan Documents;
including any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection
with any work-out or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of
Default; provided that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than
Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders; provided,
further, that no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement under this clause (b)
in respect of any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action to the extent any of
the foregoing results from such Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment);
provided, further, that no Indemnified Person will be indemnified for any such
cost, expense or liability to the extent of any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons other
than claims against Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents, in such capacity in connection with
fulfilling any such roles;

          (c) any attempt to enforce any remedies of Agent against any or all of the Credit Parties or
any other Person that may be obligated to Agent or any Lender by virtue of any of the Loan
Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out
or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default;
provided, that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such
reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;

          (d) any workout or restructuring of the Loans upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of one or more Events of Default; and

          (e) efforts to (i) monitor the Loans or any of the other Obligations, (ii) evaluate, observe
or assess any of the Credit Parties or their respective affairs, and (iii) verify, protect,
evaluate, assess, appraise, audit, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral; including, as to each of clauses (a) through (d) above, all reasonable
attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ reasonable documented fees arising from
such services and other advice, assistance or other representation, including those in connection
with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, costs,
charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any
of the events or actions described in this Section 12.3. All amounts under this

148

 

Section 12.3 shall be payable not later than 20 days after written demand therefore
(together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation submitted to a Financial Officer of
Borrower Representative). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such reasonable
documented out-of-pocket expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: reasonable documented
out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers,
investment bankers, management, internal auditors, financial, turnaround and other consultants and

charges; secretarial overtime charges; and expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred

     12.4 No Waiver. Agent’s or any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require
strict performance by the Credit Parties of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or such Lender thereafter to demand
strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of an Event of
Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default whether the same is prior or
subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.2, none of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and
representations of any Credit Party contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
and no Default or Event of Default by any Credit Party shall be deemed to have been suspended or
waived by Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing
signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of Agent and the applicable Requisite Lenders,
and directed to Borrowers specifying such suspension or waiver.

     12.5 Remedies. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Agent or any Lender may
have under any other agreement, including the other Loan Documents, by operation of law or
otherwise. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required.

     12.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

     12.7 Conflict of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and
subject to the immediately following sentence, if any provision contained in this Agreement
conflicts with any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this
Agreement shall govern and control.

     12.8 Confidentiality. Each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Co-Collateral Agent and
Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices,
the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in
writing by any Credit Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i)

149

 

with
Borrower Representative’s consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer,
Co-Collateral Agent or Agent, as the case may be, that are advised of the confidential nature of
such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential in accordance with the
terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.8 or (B) available to such
Lender, L/C Issuer, Co-Collateral Agent or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may
be, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure
restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable law or other legal process or
requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority (in which case Agent shall notify Borrower
Representative to the extent not prohibited by law or legal process), (v) to the extent necessary
or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, (vi) (A) to the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized
rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does
not identify Credit Parties, (vii) other than to Excluded Parties, to current or prospective
assignees, SPVs (including the investors or prospective investors therein) or participants, direct
or contractual counterparties to any Swap Contracts and to their respective Related Persons, in
each case to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons
agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section
12.8 (and such Person may disclose information to their respective Related Persons in
accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in
connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in
connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender, L/C Issuer, Co-Collateral
Agent or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to
respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons referring to
a Lender, L/C Issuer, Co-Collateral Agent or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event
of any
conflict between the terms of this Section 12.8 and those of any Loan Document, the
terms of this Section 12.8 shall govern.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other written or oral
understanding or agreement to which the parties hereto are parties or by which they are bound, the
parties acknowledge and agree that (i) any obligations of confidentiality contained herein and
therein do not apply and have not applied to the federal tax treatment and federal tax structure of
the Loans (the “Transactions”) (and any related transactions or arrangements) from the
commencement of discussions between the parties, and (ii) each party (and each of its employees,
representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any
kind, the federal tax treatment and federal tax structure of the Transactions and all materials of
any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure. The preceding sentence is intended to cause the Transactions
to be treated as not having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of
Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under
Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed in a manner
consistent with such purpose. Subject to the proviso with respect to disclosure in the first
sentence of this paragraph, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive
rights to the federal tax structure of the Transactions or any federal tax matter or federal tax
idea related to the Transactions.

150

 

     12.9 GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT
STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS
AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, CITY OF NEW YORK,
NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE
CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND THE CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK
COUNTY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR
OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION
TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR
OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE
TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY
HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
THAT SUCH CREDIT PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR
FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL
SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES
THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED
MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH CREDIT PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.10 AND THAT
SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH CREDIT PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT
THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

     12.10 Notices.

          (a) Addresses. All notices, demands, requests, directions and other communications

	 	(b)	 	Effectiveness.

               (i) All communications described in clause (a) above and all other notices, demands, requests
and other communications made in connection with this Agreement shall be effective and be deemed to
have been received (i) if delivered by hand, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by overnight
courier service, one Business Day after delivery to such courier service, (iii) if delivered by
mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail, (iv) if delivered by facsimile or
electronic mail (other than to post to an E-System pursuant to clause (a) above) upon sender’s
receipt of confirmation of proper transmission and (v) if delivered by posting to any E-System, on
the later of the date of such posting in an appropriate location and the date access to such
posting is given to the recipient thereof in accordance with the standard procedures applicable to
such E-System. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent,
approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Borrower Representative or
Agent) designated in Section 12.10 to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the
effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party
entitled to receive such notice.

               (ii) The posting, completion and/or submission by any Credit Party of any communication
pursuant to an E-System shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Credit Parties that
any representation, warranty, certification or other similar statement required by the Loan
Documents to be provided, given or made by a Credit Party in connection with any such communication
is true, correct and complete (to the extent required under the Loan Documents) except as expressly
noted in such communication or E-System.

          (c) Each Lender shall notify Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices
to such Lender should be directed, of addresses of its lending office, of payment instructions in
respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as
Agent shall reasonably request.

     12.11 Section Titles. The Section titles and Table of Contents contained in this
Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are
not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

     12.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the

153

 

same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.

     12.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT
PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION
RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE
LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO KNOWINGLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG
AGENT, LENDERS AND ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

     12.14 Press Releases and Related Matters. Each Credit Party executing this Agreement
agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other
public disclosure using the name of MSSF or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents or the Related Transactions Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’
prior notice to MSSF and without the prior written consent of MSSF unless (and only to the extent
that) such Credit Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such
Credit Party or Affiliate will consult with MSSF before issuing such press release or other public
disclosure. Each Credit Party consents to the publication by Agent or any Lender of advertising
material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using Borrower’s
name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent reserves the right to provide to industry
trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

     12.15 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Borrowers for liquidation or
reorganization, should Borrowers become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any
creditor or creditors or should a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of Borrowers’ assets, and shall continue to be effective
or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations,
or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must
otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable
preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had
not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and
not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

154

 

     12.16 Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto
that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 12.9 and
12.13, with its counsel.

     12.17 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the
negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties
hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by
virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

     12.18 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act,
such Lender and Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other
information that will allow such Lender and Agent, as the case may be, to identify the Credit
Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

     12.19 Currency Equivalency Generally. For the purposes of making valuations or
computations under this Agreement (but not for purposes of the preparation of any financial
statements delivered pursuant hereto), and in particular, without limitation, for purposes of
valuations or computations under Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3(b), 4, 6, 7
and 9, unless expressly provided otherwise, where a reference is made to a dollar amount
the amount is to be considered as the amount in Dollars and, therefor, each other currency shall be
converted into the equivalent amount thereof in Dollars in accordance with GAAP.

     12.20 Judgment Currency.

          (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any
court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other
currency being hereinafter in this Section 12.20 referred to as the “Judgment
Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation
Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (i) the date of actual payment of
the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give
effect to such conversion being made on such earlier date, or (ii) the date on which the judgment
is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable
date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 12.20 being hereinafter
in this Section 12.20 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

          (b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in
Section 12.20(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the
Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the
applicable Credit Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser
amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency,
when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount
of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of

155

 

exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from a Credit Party
under this Section 12.20(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by
judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan
Documents.

          (c) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 12.20 means the rate of exchange at
which Agent would, on the relevant date at or about 1:00 p.m. (New York time), be prepared to sell
the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

     12.21 Electronic Transmissions.

          (a) Authorization. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.10(a), each of
Agent, Lenders, each Credit Party and each of their Related Persons, is authorized (but not
required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic
Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein.
Each Borrower and each Lender party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic
Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use,
including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts
such risks by hereby authorizing the use of Electronic Transmissions.

          (b) Signatures. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.10(a), (i)(A) no
posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B)
each E-Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a
“signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a
“writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any
Code, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural applicable law governing such subject
matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a
reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or
logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which Agent, each Lender and each
Credit Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a
signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes,
have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or
beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any
E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable law requiring
certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any
E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

          (c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject
to, in addition to Section 12.10 and this Section 12.21, the separate terms,
conditions and privacy policy posted or referenced in such E-System (or such terms, conditions and
privacy policy as may be updated from time to time, including on such E-System) and related
Contractual Obligations executed by Agent and Credit Parties in connection with the use of such
E-System.

          (d) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE
PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS

156

 

AVAILABLE”. NONE OF AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY,
ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY
FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF
THEIR RELATED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY
RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. Each of the Borrowers, each other Credit
Party executing this Agreement and each Lender agrees that Agent has no responsibility for
maintaining or providing any equipment, Software, services or any testing required in connection
with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

     12.22 Independence of Provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to
regulate the same or similar matters, and that such limitations, tests and measurements are
cumulative and must each be performed, except as expressly stated to the contrary in this
Agreement.

     12.23 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the
sole protection and legal benefit of Borrowers, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, Agent, Funding Agent,
the Co-Collateral Agents and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a
direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in
connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender
nor any Credit Party (except as otherwise specifically provided under the Loan Documents) shall
have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     12.24 Intentionally Omitted.

     12.25 Relationships between Lenders and Credit Parties. The Borrowers acknowledge and
agree that the Lenders are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual
counterparty to the Borrowers with respect to the Loans and other financial accommodations
contemplated hereby and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrowers
or any other Person. Additionally, no Lender is advising the Borrowers or any other Person as to
any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrowers
shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making
their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the
Lenders shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrowers with respect thereto. Any review
by the Lenders of the Borrowers, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to
such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Lenders and shall not be on
behalf of the Borrowers.

13. CROSS-GUARANTY

     13.1 Cross-Guaranty.

157

 

          (a) Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and
hereby absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and
Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) by each other Borrower. Each Borrower
agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance
and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 13 shall not be discharged
until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations
under this Section 13 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected
by,

               (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or
change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument
to which any Borrower is or may become a party;

               (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 13)
or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent and the other Secured Parties with
respect to any of the provisions thereof;

               (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any
security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent and the other
Secured Parties in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

               (iv) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

               (v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with
respect to the Obligations guarantied hereunder.

          (b) Each Borrower expressly represents and acknowledges that it is part of a common enterprise
with the other Borrowers and that any financial accommodations by Lenders, or any of them, to any
other Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct and indirect
interest, benefit and advantage to all Borrowers.

     13.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives, to the extent permitted by
law, all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or
in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or the other Secured Parties to marshal assets or to
proceed in respect of the Obligations guarantied hereunder against any other Credit Party, any
other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before
proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among
each Borrower, Agent and the other Secured Parties that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the
provisions of this Section 13 and such waivers, Agent and the other Secured Parties would
decline to enter into this Agreement.

158

 

     13.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this
Section 13 are for the benefit of Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as
between any other Borrower and Agent or the other Secured Parties, the obligations of such other
Borrower under the Loan Documents.

     13.4 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 13.7, each
Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all
rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or
accommodation co-obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and the other
Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the
enforceability of this Section 13, and that Agent, the other Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and
agreements set forth in this Section 13.4.

     13.5 Election of Remedies. If Agent or any of the other Secured Parties may, under
applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent or
such other Secured Party a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other
Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any of the
other Secured Parties may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may
pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 13. If, in the
exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any of the other Secured Parties shall forfeit
any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any
Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of
remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent or such other Secured
Party and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such other
Secured Party shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each
Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such other Secured Party. Any
election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any of the
other Secured Parties to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other
Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Agent or any of the
other Secured Parties shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale
permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Agent or such other Secured Party may bid all or less than
the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such other
Secured Party but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at
any such sale, whether Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be
conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such
bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the
amount of the Obligations guarantied under this Section 13, notwithstanding that any
present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any
deficiency claim to which Agent or any of the other Secured Parties might otherwise be entitled but
for such bidding at any such sale.

159

 

     13.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each
Borrower’s liability under this Section 13 shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as
of any date of determination the greater of:

          (a) the amount of all Loans advanced to such Borrower plus the amount of all Secured Hedging
Obligations incurred by such Borrower;

          (b) the net amount of all Loans advanced to another Borrower under this Agreement and then
re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower plus the amount of
Secured Hedging Obligations incurred by another Borrower for the benefit of such Borrower; and

          (c) the amount that could be claimed by Agent and the other Secured Parties from such Borrower
under this Section 13 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548
of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act,
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar foreign or domestic statute or common law after taking
into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from
each other Borrower under Section 13.7.

     13.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

          (a) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 13 of all
or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower and Secured Hedging Obligations,
in each case, for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into
account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower,
exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the
aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such
Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor
Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately
prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash
of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been
asserted) and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive
contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the
amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately
prior to such Guarantor Payment.

          (b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be
equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this
Section 13 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

          (c) This Section 13.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and
nothing set forth in this Section 13.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of
Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 13.1. Nothing

160

 

contained in this Section 13.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the
Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (and Secured Hedging Obligations incurred
directly or indirectly by that Borrower) and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect
thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

          (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is
owing.

          (e) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Credit Parties under this
Section 13.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations
and the termination of the Commitments.

     13.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 13
is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and the
other Secured Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a
party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation
as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability
specifically provides to the contrary.
