1.03 Accounting Terms. (a) Generally. All accounting terms not
specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial
data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted
pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent
basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing
the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including
the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and
the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation
of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the
Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall
negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof
in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided
that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in
accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this
Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations
of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(c) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All references herein to
consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries or to the determination of
any amount for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference
shall, in each case, be deemed to include each variable interest entity that the Company is
required to consolidate pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a
Subsidiary as defined herein.

1.04 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other
component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is
expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if
there is no nearest number).

1.05 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day
shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.06 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a
Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in
effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit
that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more
automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be
deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such
increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01 Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to the Borrowers
from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not
to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of
each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may
borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this
Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, as further provided
herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be in the minimum amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000)
and integral multiples of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in excess of such minimum amount.
To effect a funding, the Company shall give the Administrative Agent a Committed Borrowing Notice
specifying the Type, amount and date of each intended Borrowing and the manner in which the same
shall be disbursed, which notice:

(i) in the case of a Borrowing that is a Base Rate Loan, shall be given no
later than 11:00 a.m. (Philadelphia, PA time) at least one Business Day prior to
the date of such Borrowing; provided, however, if M&T is the only Lender under this
Agreement, then a notice of borrowing can be given by not later than 11:00 AM
(Philadelphia, PA time) on the Business Day when a Borrowing is being requested.

(ii) in the case of a Borrowing that is a LIBOR Loan, shall be given no later
than 11:00 a.m. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) at least three Eurodollar Business
Days prior to the date of such borrowing and shall specify the Interest Period with
respect to such Borrowing; and

(iii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, shall be given no later than 12:00 noon
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the date of such Borrowing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may (but is not obligated to) act
upon telephone notice by the Company whether or not written notice is received; provided nothing in
this sentence shall relieve the Company from providing written notice as provided by this Section.

(c) Except in the case of Swing Line Loans, the Administrative Agent in turn shall give prompt
written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice to each Lender of its pro rata share
of the Borrowing, the interest rate option selected and the scheduled date of the funding. After
receipt of such notice, each Lender shall make such arrangements as are necessary to assure that
its share of the funding shall be immediately available (in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent’s
Office no later than 2:30 p.m. (Philadelphia, PA time), on the date on which the funding is to
occur. After receipt of the funds, the Administrative Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial
Credit Extension, Section 4.01), shall disburse the amount of such funding in accordance
with instructions in the Committed Loan Notice.

(d) The Lenders shall not be obligated to comply with a borrowing notice if there shall then
exist an Event of Default or a Default which has not been waived in writing by the Administrative
Agent regardless of whether the Lenders have determined to exercise their remedies arising upon the
occurrence of such Event of Default or Default.

(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Loan may be continued or converted only on
the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event
of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Loans without the
consent of the Required Lenders.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section
2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit
for the account of the Borrowers, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit
previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to
honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to
participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Company or its
Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect
to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of
the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by
the Company for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to
be a representation by the Company that the L/C Credit Extension so requested
complies with the conditions set forth in the provisos to the preceding sentence.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and
accordingly the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit
to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.

(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such
requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the
date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have
approved such expiry date; or

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have
approved such expiry date.

(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if:

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

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

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C
Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than
$100,000;

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars; or

(E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash
Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the
Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential
Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with
respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit
then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C
Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting
Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

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

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

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C
Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by
it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term “the Administrative Agent” as used in Article
IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon
the request of the Company delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit
Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the
expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F)
the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any
drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit;
and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request
for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which
shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Company shall
furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and
information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment,
including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may
require.

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

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

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

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of
a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and
the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any
payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor
Date”), the Company shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative
Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Company fails to so
reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed
Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate
confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer,
at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage
of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall
be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed
payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute
an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this Section 2.03.

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

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated
by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the
Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Committed
Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Company to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as
provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this
Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for
the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with
the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan
included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the
relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

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

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

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

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

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

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

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

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the
“Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate
times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided,
however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash
Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable,
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, to the other Lenders in accordance with the
upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C
Issuer for its own account.. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance
with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any
change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each
Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period
during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. At
such time as there is more than one Lender under this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay directly
to the L/C Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%)
of the face amount of each Letter of Credit, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and
payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in
respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first
payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit,
on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the
daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit
shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Company shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and
other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters
of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are
due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

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

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

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing
Line Lender agrees, but only at such time as there is more than one Lender under this Agreement,
and in reliance upon the agreements of such other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04,
to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any
Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line
Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans
and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such
Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment, and provided, further, that the Company shall not use the proceeds of
any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section
2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04;
provided, however, that in any event, any such Swing Line Loans must be repaid
pursuant to Section 2.07(b). Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall be
for working capital purposes. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall
be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line
Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing may be made upon the Company’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing
Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Company at its office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Swing Line Lender
in immediately available funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing
Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate
Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing
(which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall
furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an
amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed
Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
(and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to
the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 p.m. on the day specified in such
Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit
the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

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

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

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund
risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Company or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event
of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s
obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company
to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion),
each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

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

2.05 Prepayments. (a) Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to
the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (i) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to any
date of prepayment of LIBOR Loans, or on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; and
(ii) any prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $200,000, or a whole multiple of $25,000 in
excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed
Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBOR Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and
of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given
by the Company, the applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a LIBOR
Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.17,
each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Percentages.

(b) The Company may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment,
and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the
Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein.

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

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce
the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination
or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the
Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder,
the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line
Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of
any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable
Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall repay to the Lenders on
the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans made to the Borrowers
outstanding on such date.

(b) The Company shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five
(5) Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.08 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b)
below, (i) each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

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

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

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

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

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

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and
(i) of Section 2.03:

(a) Unused Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an unused fee equal to the Applicable
Rate with respect to the Unused Fee times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate
Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and (ii) the
Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.17.
The unused fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the
Availability Period. The unused fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any
change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that each such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

(b) Intentionally omitted.

(c) The Company shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon
in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid
and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

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

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

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

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

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender
and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or
records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12 Payments Generally; the Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a)
General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable the
Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00
p.m. (Philadelphia time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein)
of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All
payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 12:00 p.m. (Philadelphia time) shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a
Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

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

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the
amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

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

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

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender
to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section
10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 10.04(c).

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

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

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by or on behalf of a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the
existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided
for in Section 2.16 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or
subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than an assignment to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as
to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Laws, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of
such participation.

2.14 Designated Borrowers. (a) Effective as of the date hereof, each of
Nutri/System IPHC, Inc., NSI Tech, Inc., Nutrisystem Everyday, LLC, NSI Retail, LLC, and NSI Cash
Management, Inc., shall each be a “Designated Borrower” hereunder, and may receive Loans for its
account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company
to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion), designate any Material Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant
Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly
executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Designated
Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for
herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions,
incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content
and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, and Notes signed by such new
Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. If the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then
promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of
counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in
substantially the form of Exhibit G (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company
and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a
Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such
Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and
each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all
purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Committed Loan Notice or Letter of Credit
Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until the date five
Business Days after such effective date.

(c) The Obligations of the Company and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic Subsidiary
shall be joint and several in nature, and the Company and each Domestic Subsidiary that is a
Designated Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Loans, L/C Obligations and all
associated interest, fees and other charges under this Agreement, whether such Obligations are
those of a Domestic Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary. The Obligations of all Designated
Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature. Each Borrower’s obligations
under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective
of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other
Borrower or the validity or enforceability, against any other Borrower, of any promissory note or
other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the
absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security
therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent,
extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower or
any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and
delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or (iv) any other circumstances which might
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, surety or of any other
Borrower (other than actual indefeasible payment in full in cash). With respect to any Borrower’s
obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder with
respect to advances of the Loans made to or for any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower
waives, until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and this Agreement
shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, or
any endorser of all or any part of the Obligations. During the existence of any Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against
any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without
first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person.

(d) Each Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.14 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant
to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of
notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates
contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any
Loans made by the Lenders to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent,
direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given
or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given
or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice,
demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to
each Designated Borrower.

(e) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the
Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided
that (i) there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts
payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of
such termination, (ii) there exists no Default or Event of Default at such time, and (iii) such
Designated Borrower is no longer a Material Subsidiary. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

2.15 Reserved.

2.16 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or
the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any
Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall,
in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.
At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after
giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting
Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not
constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit
accounts at M&T. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby
grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees
to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of
the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.16(c) . If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash
Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 103% of the
applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant
Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such
deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.17 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit
or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations,
Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other Obligations for
which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may
be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce
Fronting Exposure or other Obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of
the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the
termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee
following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good
faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however,
(x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released when there
exists a Default or Event of Default which has not been waived in writing by the Administrative
Agent (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied
in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released
but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08),
shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata
basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested
by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future
funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line
Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the applicable Borrower may request (so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by
this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined
by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing
deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting
Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of
any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a
time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed
to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled
to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the applicable Borrower shall not be
required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been
paid to that Defaulting Lender) for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit
Fees as provided in Section 2.03(i).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting
Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes
of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant
to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each
non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of
that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be
given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each
non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1)
the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line
Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without
giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and
provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

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

(ii) If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code
to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup
withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative
Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative
Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received
pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely
pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is
made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by any Borrower
shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making
of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made

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

(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) or (b) above, each Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent or
paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly
to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the
amount of any such payment or liability delivered to such Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b)
above and to the extent the Administrative Agent has not already been indemnified by
any Borrower with respect thereto, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does
hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect
thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and
any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses
(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative
Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by any Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of,
any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, to the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and
apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due
to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause
(ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent,
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed
by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws
to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

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

(g) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
hereunder or under any Loan Document would be subject to United States Federal withholding tax
imposed by FATCA if such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with
the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent such documentation as is required by FATCA to enable the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA.

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted LIBOR, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to LIBOR Loans
shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or
maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted
LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall,
if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference
to the Adjusted LIBOR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of
such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to
the Adjusted LIBOR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or
immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans and (y) if such
notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the
Adjusted LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the
Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted LIBOR component thereof until
the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such
Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBOR. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted.

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

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Loans.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any
reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

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

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

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

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall
pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on LIBOR Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such
Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of
or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”),
additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan equal to the actual costs of
such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which
interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrowers shall have received at least 10
days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such
Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

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

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

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

(c) any assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 10.13;

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

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

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall
survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder
and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii)
fairly present the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof
and their results of operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and

equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly
noted therein, and (ii) fairly present the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries
as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby, subject, in
the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit

direct or contingent, of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date of such
financial statements, including liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

Company and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(c) were prepared in good
faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the
conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts.

5.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company after due and diligent investigation, threatened or
contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against

purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) either individually or in the aggregate, if determined
adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.07 No Default. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is in default
under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of
Default has occurred or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Effect. The property of the Company and its Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens, other than
Permitted Liens.

5.09 Environmental Compliance. The Loan Parties conduct in the ordinary course of
business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential
liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses,
operations and properties, and as a result thereof the Company has reasonably concluded that such
Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Company, in such amounts

businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary operates.

Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.

5.12 ERISA Compliance.

ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a
qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from
the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue
Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application
for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best
knowledge of any Loan Party, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such
tax-qualified status.

(b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened claims,
actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction

could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no
waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or
obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target
attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither
any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be
expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as
of the most recent valuation date; (iv) no Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any
liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments
which have become due that are unpaid; (v) no Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a
transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension
Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof nor by the PBGC, and no event or
circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to
institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan.

(d) No Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any unsatisfied
obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan.

5.13 Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. The Loan Parties have no Subsidiaries or equity
investments in any other corporation or entity other than those (a) specifically disclosed in on
Schedule 5.13 and (b) Subsidiaries and equity investments which the Company has acquired or
created to the extent permitted or not prohibited by this Agreement or the Loan Documents;
provided that the Company has provided ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent of such acquisition or creation and complies to the extent applicable, with
Section 6.13 hereof. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries
described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.13 have been validly issued, are fully
paid and nonassessable and are owned by a Loan Party in the amounts specified on Schedule

Permitted Liens.

Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of
this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified
or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or
omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to
projected financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials

Title IV of ERISA to the Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC in an aggregate amount in
excess of $2,000,000, or (ii) any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after
the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its
withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate amount
in excess of $2,000,000; or

(j) Invalidity of Loan Documents. Any provision of any Loan Document, at any time
after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or
thereunder or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect,
or any Loan Party or any other Person contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any
provision of any Loan Document, or any Loan Party denies that it has any or further liability or
obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any provision of
any Loan Document; or

(k) Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control.

8.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs which has not
been waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request
of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer
to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be
terminated;

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document
to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties;

(c) require that the Loan Parties Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal
to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

(d) exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer all rights and remedies
available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code, the obligation of each
Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall
automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and
other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the
Loan Parties to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become
effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section
8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C
Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso
to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the
following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,
expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders
and the L/C Issuer (including fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of any
Lender or the L/C Issuer) and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably
among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Third payable to them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of
the Loans and L/C Borrowings, together with any other Obligations owing to the Lenders or other
Lender Parties (including any Banking Services Obligations and any Swap Contracts between any Loan
Party or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries and any Swap Party, to the extent such Banking
Services Obligations or amounts due such Swap Party under such Swap Contract constitute Obligations
under this Agreement), ratably among the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Lender Parties, as
applicable, in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by
them;

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters
of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized pursuant to Sections 2.03 and
2.16; and

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

For purposes of this Section 8.03, if there are Obligations arising out of Swap
Contracts with any Lender or any Affiliate thereof, the Administrative Agent shall determine
whether such Obligations are most appropriately characterized as interest, principal, fees or other
and shall add those obligations to the appropriate category above. Any determination of the
Administrative Agent in this regard shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided,
however, that the characterization of such Obligations shall be the same with respect to
all Lenders.

Subject to Section 2.03(c) and Section 2.16, amounts used to Cash
Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above
shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount
remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or
expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set
forth above.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders and other Lender Parties, as applicable, hereby irrevocably appoints M&T
to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Lender Parties, and neither
any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders and the other Lender
Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion):

(i) in connection with the sale or other disposition of any asset included in
the Collateral or all of the capital stock or other equity interest in any Loan
Party, to the extent undertaken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to
release a Lien granted to it (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) on such asset
or capital stock or equity interest and/or to release such Loan Party from its
obligations hereunder;

(ii) to determine that the cost to the Company or any Loan Party is
disproportionate to the benefit to be realized by the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the other Lender Parties by perfecting a Lien in a given asset or group
of assets included in the Collateral and that the Company or such Loan Party should
not be required to perfect such Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of the Lender Parties);

(iii) to appoint sub-agents to be the holder of record of a Lien to be granted
to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Parties) or to hold on
behalf of the Administrative Agent the Collateral or instruments relating thereto;

(iv) to enter into and perform its obligations under the other Loan Documents;
and

(v) to execute and deliver the agreements contemplated by Section
10.01.

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

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

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

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

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

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice
describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, which notice states that it is a “Notice of Default” or “Notice of an
Event of Default”.

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

9.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. It is acknowledged that counsel to the
Administrative Agent exclusively represents the Administrative Agent and, absent an express written
agreement to the contrary, there are no third party beneficiaries of that relationship.

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

9.06 Resignation of the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any
time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Company. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of
the Company (provided that no Event of Default exists which has not been waived in writing by the
Administrative Agent), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United
States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Loan Parties to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent
was acting as the Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by M&T as the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall
also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c)
the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.

9.07 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
and other Lender Party, as applicable, acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent (or its counsel, advisors or agents) or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Each Lender and other Lender Party, as applicable, also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent (or its counsel, advisors or
agents) or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.08 Reserved.

9.09 The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, in addition to any other rights or remedies
provided under the Loan Documents or applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and other Lender
Parties allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

(b) In addition to any other rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
or applicable Laws, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived in writing
by the Administrative Agent, each of the Lender Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such actions on behalf of the Lender Parties and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and exercise any other rights and remedies
under applicable Laws, in the name of the Lender Parties or otherwise, including sell, assign,
lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative
Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and
at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially
reasonable and to credit bid any or all of the Obligations on behalf of the Lender Parties in
connection with any sale or other disposition of any or all assets or equity of any or all Loan
Parties.

Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified
the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties may, in its discretion, agree to

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other
Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications

Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to
ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name,

Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at

declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in
accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including United
States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e) Reliance by the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of
any Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete
or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of
each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such
Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party. All telephonic notices
to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its
benefit (solely in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may
be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the
pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders
shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding
proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the

delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions

Lender or the L/C Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in
connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this
Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including
all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges
and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee
or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in
Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the
Company or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such other Loan Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.

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

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

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

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

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan
Parties is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds
of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of
any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause
(b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any
other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in
this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

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

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

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s
rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this
Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of
Default has occurred which has not been waived in writing by the
Administrative Agent or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10)
Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to
a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to such Lender;

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

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

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

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made
(A) to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this
clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall
be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth
herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as
appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of
participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full
pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable Laws without compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to
be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs

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

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

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

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, each Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.13 as though it were a Lender.

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

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

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time M&T assigns all of its Commitment and
Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, M&T may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company
and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as
Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the
Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any
such successor shall affect the resignation of M&T as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case
may be. If M&T resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto
(including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If M&T resigns as
Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder
with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund
risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to M&T to effectively assume the obligations of
M&T with respect to such Letters of Credit.

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

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

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

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred which has not been
waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for
the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and although such obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that
any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the
L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Company and the
Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging
means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in
good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable,
then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company
the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may (provided that no Event of
Default exists which has not been waived in writing by the Administrative Agent), at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that:

(a) the Company shall have paid (or caused a Loan Party to pay) to the Administrative Agent
the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Company or applicable Loan Party (in the case of all other amounts);

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

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

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

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 

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

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA SITTING IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF,
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH PENNSYLVANIA COMMONWEALTH COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A
FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER
JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY
LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT

11.01 Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of
the Existing Credit Agreement and it is not intended to be, nor shall it be construed as, a
discharge of the Existing Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or a novation of
any Borrower’s responsibilities and obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or the Existing Loan Documents previously executed in
favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Except as expressly modified hereby, and except
to the extent the Existing Credit Agreement and Existing Loan Documents are specifically amended
and restated, all terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement and Existing Loan Documents
shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the
Borrowers. All Existing Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date
shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder.

11.02 Release by Borrowers. Borrowers hereby waive and release and forever discharge
the Administrative Agent and Lenders, and the officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees
of each, from any liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind, known to Borrowers on or
before the Closing Date, that any Borrower may now have against the Administrative Agent or Lenders
or any of them arising or originating in whole or in part out of or relating to the Obligations,
the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Loan Documents, this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

11.03 Release by Administrative Agent and Lenders. In consideration of the mutual
premises contained and set forth herein, including without limitation the releases set forth in
Section 11.02 above, the Administrative Agent, for itself and the other Lenders and Lender
Parties (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), hereby agrees that, effective upon the
Closing Date: (a) all Liens upon, and pledges and rights of set off against, any and all properties
and assets of any Loan Party and any other Person liable on or in respect of the Existing
Obligations, heretofore granted, pledged or assigned by a Loan Party to Administrative Agent for
itself and other Lender Parties pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Loan
Documents are hereby released and terminated; and (b) the Administrative Agent, at Borrowers’
expense, shall deliver to Borrowers and, if applicable, execute and file and/or record: (i) any
Uniform Commercial Code termination statements to effectuate the release of record of the financing
statements naming the Administrative Agent, as secured party, and each Loan Party, as debtor, that
are currently filed of record and for which the Administrative Agent has the recording information,
(ii) releases of security interest in patents, trademarks and copyrights with respect to any
patents, trademarks and copyrights pledged by Borrowers to and in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and (iii) any original stock certificates pledged by
any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, together with any original stock powers duly executed
in blank with respect thereto, and (c) Borrowers are authorized by the Administrative Agent to file
such termination statements and such other release documents on behalf of the Administrative Agent

(ii)    The obligations of any Class A Revolving Committed Lender to make Class A Revolving Loans hereunder are several from the obligations of any other Class A Revolving Committed Lenders (whether or not in the same Class A Lender Group).  The failure of any Class A Revolving Committed Lender to make Class A Revolving Loans hereunder shall not release the obligations of any other Class A Revolving Committed Lender (whether or not in the same Class A Lender Group) to make Loans hereunder, but no Class A Revolving Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Class A Revolving Committed Lender to make any Class A Revolving Loan hereunder.

45

 

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Class A Revolving Committed Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Class A Revolving Loan at any time if, after giving effect to such Class A Revolving Loan, the aggregate outstanding Class A Revolving Loans funded by such Class A Revolving Committed Lender hereunder would exceed an amount equal to (i) such Class A Revolving Committed Lender’s Commitment, minus (ii) such Class A Revolving Committed Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Class A Revolving Loans held by the Class A Revolving Conduit Lender(s) in such Class A Revolving Committed Lender’s Class A Lender Group.
(h)    Certain Borrowing Limitations.  Notwithstanding the other provision of this Agreement:
(i)    For purposes of this Agreement, (i) each Funding Notice requesting Class A Revolving Loans and specifying a Credit Date which is thirty-one (31) or more days following the date of such Funding Notice shall constitute a “Funding Notice (31-Day)”, and each other Funding Notice shall constitute a “Funding Notice (Overnight)”, and (ii) Class A Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Funding Notice (31-Day) shall, for long as they remain outstanding (as determined pursuant to this Section 2.1(h)), constitute “Class A Revolving Loans (31-Day)”, and any other Class A Revolving Loans shall, for long as they remain outstanding (as determined pursuant to this Section 2.1(h)), constitute “Class A Revolving Loans (Overnight).”  Company hereby agrees to designate on the first page of each Funding Notice whether such Funding Notice is a Funding Notice (31-Day) or a Funding Notice (Overnight).
(ii)    Company shall not submit a Funding Notice (Overnight) and no Class A Revolving Lender shall be required to make any Class A Revolving Loans (Overnight) if, solely as a result of making such Class A Revolving Loans (Overnight), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Revolving Loans (Overnight) would exceed 20% of the aggregate Class A Revolving Commitments.  In determining the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class A Revolving Loans (Overnight) for purposes of this Section 2.1(h), repayments of Class A Revolving Loans shall be deemed to be allocated first to the reduction of outstanding principal amount of Class A Revolving Loans (Overnight).
(iii)    Upon submission of a Funding Notice (31-Day), Company may request in writing that the applicable Class A Revolving Lenders waive the minimum thirty-one (31)-day notice requirement for Class A Revolving Loans (31-Day) and fund the Class A Revolving Loans requested under such Funding Notice (31-Day) on the Business Day proposed by Company in such written request (which Business Day shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Funding Notice (31-Day) if such Funding Notice (31-Day) was delivered by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), or at least three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Funding Notice (31-Day) if such Funding Notice (31-Day) was delivered after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)).  Each Class A Revolving Lender receiving such a written request may accept such request and such earlier funding date, in its sole and exclusive discretion, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City 

46

 

time) on the Business Day of its receipt of such written request (or no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day if it receives such written request after noon (New York City time)), and if not so accepted by each applicable Class A Revolving Lender, such request and such earlier funding date shall be deemed to have been rejected.  If such written request and such earlier funding date are so accepted, then such earlier date shall be deemed to be the Credit Date for such Funding Notice (31-Day).  Notwithstanding any such acceptance by the applicable Class A Revolving Lenders, Class A Revolving Loans made pursuant to such Funding Notice (31-Day) shall nonetheless constitute Class A Revolving Loans (31-Day) for as long as they remain outstanding (as determined pursuant to this Section 2.1(h)).
(iv)    The acceptance by a Class A Revolving Lender of an earlier Credit Date for a Class A Revolving Loan (31-Day) on one or more occasions shall not constitute a waiver, amendment or impairment of, or otherwise affect, the absolute right of such Class A Revolving Lender to receive at least thirty-one (31) days’ prior written notice before such Class A Revolving Lender is obligated to make any subsequent Revolving Loans (31-Day).
2.2    Pro Rata Shares.  Subject to the rights of any Class A Revolving Conduit Lender to elect to fund or not fund a Class A Revolving Loan as described in Section 2.1, all Loans of each Class shall be made by Class A Lender Groups or Class B Revolving Lenders, as applicable, simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.
2.3    Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Revolving Loans made after the Original Closing Date shall be applied by Company to (a) finance the acquisition of Eligible Receivables from Holdings pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, (b) pay Transaction Costs and ongoing fees and expenses of Company hereunder and (c) in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1(e), to make payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to the Lenders under the Credit Documents.  No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any 

47

 

inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern absent manifest error.
(b)    Register.  Paying Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Class A Lender Groups and the Class B Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Class A Lender Group and Class B Revolving Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Paying Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company. Each Class A Managing Agent and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Company’s Obligations in respect of any Loan.  Company hereby designates the entity serving as Paying Agent to serve as Company’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.4, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(b)    Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360‐day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

48

 

(c)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on and to each Interest Payment Date; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity.

(v)    Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) the funds on deposit in the Lockbox System shall continue to be collateral security for the Obligations secured thereby, and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Requisite Lenders, the funds on deposit in the Lockbox System may be applied as provided in Section 2.12(b).
(vi)    Company has directed, and will at all times hereafter direct, the Servicer to direct payment from each of the Receivables Obligors on account of Pledged Receivables directly to the Lockbox System.  Company agrees (A) to instruct the Servicer to instruct each Receivables Obligor to make all payments with respect to Pledged Receivables directly to the Lockbox System and (B) promptly (and, except as set forth in the proviso to this Section 2.11(c)(vi), in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt) to deposit all payments received by it on account of Pledged Receivables, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in the Lockbox System in precisely the form in which they are received (but with any endorsements of Company necessary for deposit or collection), and until they are so deposited to hold such payments in trust for and as the property of the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that with respect to any payment received that does not contain sufficient identification of the account number to which such payment relates or cannot be processed due to an act beyond the control of the Servicer, such deposit shall be made no later than the second Business Day following the date on which such account number is identified or such payment can be processed, as applicable.   Company shall cause the Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly identify all unidentified payments.

52

 

to be held in the applicable Controlled Account; provided, however, that the maturity of the Permitted Investments on deposit in the Controlled Accounts shall be no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to this Agreement, (B) to repay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.1(b), provided, however, that (w) in order to effect any such repayment from a Controlled Account, Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, each Class A Managing Agent and each Class B Revolving Lender a Controlled Account Voluntary Payment Notice in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the date of any such repayment specifying the date of prepayment, the amount to be repaid per Class and the Controlled Account from which such repayment shall be made, (x) no more than three (3) borrowings of Class A Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, purchases of Eligible Receivables pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(C) and/or repayments of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(c)(vii)(B) may be made in any calendar week and no such repayment may occur on any Interest Payment Date, (y) the minimum amount of any such repayment on the Class A Revolving Loans shall be $250,000 and the minimum amount of any such repayment on the Class B Revolving Loans shall be $500,000, and (z) after giving effect to each such repayment, an amount equal to not less than the sum of (i) any Reserve Account Funding Amount and (ii) the aggregate of 105% of the aggregate pro forma amount of interest, fees and expenses projected to be due hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Successor Servicing Agreement, if any, for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period, based on the Accrued Interest Amount on such date and a projection of the interest to accrue on the Loans during the remainder of the applicable Interest Period using the same assumptions as are contained in the calculation of the Accrued Interest Amount, and the Total Utilization of Class A Revolving Commitments and the Total Utilization of Class B Revolving Commitments on such date (after giving effect to such repayments), shall remain in the Controlled Accounts, or (C) to purchase additional Eligible Receivables pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, provided, that (w) a Borrowing Base Certificate (evidencing sufficient Revolving Availability after giving effect to the release of Collections and the making of any Loan being made on such date and that after giving effect to the release of Collections, no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes, or would result from such release that would constitute, a Borrowing Base Deficiency, Default or Event of Default) and a Borrowing Base Report shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent, the Custodian, each Class A Managing Agent and each Class B Revolving Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days in advance of any such proposed purchase or release, (x) if such purchase of Eligible Receivables were being funded with Loans, the conditions for making such Loans on such date contained in Section 3.3(a)(iii) and Section 3.3(a)(vi) would be satisfied as of such date, (y) Company may purchase Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Section 2.11(c)(vii)(C), repay Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(B) and/or borrow Class A Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 no more than three times a week in the aggregate, and provided, further, that if such withdrawal from the Collection Account does not occur simultaneously with the making of a Loan by the Lenders hereunder pursuant to the delivery of a Funding Notice, such withdrawal shall be considered a “Revolving Loan” solely for purposes of  Section 2.1

53

 

(d)(iv) and (z) after giving effect to such release, an amount equal to not less than the sum of (i) any Reserve Account Funding Amount and (ii) the aggregate of 105% of the aggregate pro forma amount of interest, fees and expenses projected to be due hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement, the Backup Servicing Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the Successor Servicing Agreement, if any, for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period, based on the Accrued Interest Amount on such date and a projection of the interest to accrue on the Loans during the remainder of the applicable Interest Period using the same assumptions as are contained in the calculation of the Accrued Interest Amount, and the Total Utilization of Class A Revolving Commitments and the Total Utilization of Class B Revolving Commitments on such date shall remain in the Controlled Accounts.
(viii)    All income and gains from the investment of funds in the Controlled Accounts shall be retained in the respective Controlled Account from which they were derived, until each Interest Payment Date, at which time such income and gains shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(a) or (b) (or, if sooner, until utilized for a repayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(B) or a purchase of additional Eligible Receivables pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(C)), as the case may be.  As between Company and Collateral Agent, Company shall treat all income, gains and losses from the investment of amounts in the Controlled Accounts as its income or loss for federal, state and local income tax purposes.   
(d)    Transfer Accounts.  Company agrees to instruct the Servicer to (i) deduct from the related Transfer Account any amounts owed to Company, and (ii) remit such amounts directly to a Controlled Account by no later than the second Business Day immediately following the deposit of such amounts in the related Transfer Account.

The Reserve Account will be funded with funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.12(a).  At any time after the giving of a Termination Notice by the Administrative Agent, the Paying Agent shall , at the written direction of the Administrative Agent, withdraw from time to time up to an aggregate amount of $100,000 from the Reserve Account to pay Servicing Transition Expenses during the Servicing Transition Period.  On the first Interest Payment Date after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Paying Agent shall, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent, transfer into the Collection Account for application on such Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.12(b) the amount by which the amount in the Reserve Account exceeds the excess, if any, of $100,000 over the aggregate amount previously withdrawn from the Reserve Account to pay Servicing Transition Expenses.  If the first Interest Payment Date after the end of a Servicing Transition Period is during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Paying Agent shall, at the written direction of the Administrative Agent, transfer into the Collection Account for application

Funds received after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next Business 

57

 

Day (provided, that any repayment made pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(vii)(B) or any application of funds by Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.12 on any Interest Payment Date shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made in accordance with the deadlines and payment requirements described in this Section 2.13).
(b)    All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans or payments pursuant to Section 2.10) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.
(c)    Paying Agent shall promptly distribute to each Class A Managing Agent and the Class B Agent at such address as such Class A Managing Agent and such Class B Agent shall indicate in writing, the applicable Pro Rata Share of each Class A Lender Group and each Class B Revolving Lender of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Paying Agent.  Each Class A Managing Agent shall allocate all payments received by it from Paying Agent under this Section 2.13(c) to the Class A Revolving Lenders in the related Class A Lender Group.  Each Class B Agent shall allocate all payments received by it from Paying Agent under this Section 2.13(c) to the Class B Revolving Lenders as described in Section 2.12.
(d)    Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.
(e)    Except as set forth in the proviso to Section 2.13(a), Paying Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Company hereunder to them that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non‐conforming payment.  Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Paying Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.  Paying Agent shall give prompt notice via electronic mail to Company and Administrative Agent if any payment is non‐conforming.  Any non‐conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a).  Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non‐conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Interest Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.
2.14    Ratable Sharing.  Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‐off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and 

58

 

owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than such Lender would be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent, Paying Agent, each Class A Managing Agent and each Class B Revolving Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that the recovery of such Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by the applicable Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.  Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.
2.15    Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy. 
(a)    Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Affected Party shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Affected Party with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender which becomes a Lender after the date hereof, effective after such date) by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi‐Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law):  (i) subjects such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than an Excluded Tax) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC or other insurance or charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Party; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Party of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, if such Affected Party deems such change to be material, Company shall promptly pay to such Affected Party, upon 

59

 

receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Affected Party in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Affected Party for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder and any reasonable expenses related thereto.  Such Affected Party shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent and Paying Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Affected Party under this Section 2.15(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 
(b)    Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  In the event that any Affected Party shall have determined in its sole discretion (which determination shall, absent manifest effort, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (i) the adoption, effectiveness, phase‐in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Affected Party with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the Amendment Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Affected Party or any company controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Affected Party’s Loans or Revolving Commitments, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Affected Party or such controlling company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase‐in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Company from such Affected Party of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or such controlling company on an after‐tax basis for such reduction. Such Affected Party shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent and Paying Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Affected Party under this Section 2.15(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.  For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.15 shall apply, without limitation, to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any Governmental Authority (x) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended to the date hereof and from time to time hereafter, and any successor statute and (y) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
(c)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not constitute 

60

 

a waiver of such Affected Party's right to demand such compensation, provided that Company shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies Company of the matters giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party's intention to claim compensation therefor.

(b)    Withholding of Taxes.  If Company or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to an Affected Party under any of the Credit Documents:  (i) Company shall notify Paying Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; (ii) Company or the Paying Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and pay any such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Company) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Paying Agent or such Affected Party, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Paying Agent or such Affected Party; (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Company in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (and any withholdings imposed on additional amounts payable under this paragraph), such Affected Party receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Paying Agent evidence satisfactory to the other Affected Parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.  
(c)    Indemnification by Company.  Company shall indemnify each Affected Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any additional amounts required to be paid by Company pursuant to Section 2.16(b), payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company by an Affected Party (with a copy 

61

 

to the Paying Agent), or by the Paying Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Affected Party shall severally indemnify the Paying Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Affected Party (but only to the extent the Company has not already indemnified the Paying Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Affected Party’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Paying Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Affected Party by the Paying Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Affected Party hereby authorizes the Paying Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Affected Party under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Paying Agent to the Affected Party from any other source against any amount due to the Paying Agent.
(e)    Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax.  
(i)    Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non‐US Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Paying Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Original Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages of the Original Credit Agreement on the Original Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Paying Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN, 8BEN-E or W‐8ECI or W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (B) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or W‐8ECI pursuant to clause (A) above and is relying on the so called “portfolio interest exception”, a Certificate Regarding Non‐Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or 8BEN-E (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents.  Each Lender required to deliver any forms, 

62

 

certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.16(e)(i) or Section 2.16(e)(ii) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Paying Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN,  8BEN-E, W‐8IMY, or W‐8ECI, or, if relying on the “portfolio interest exception”, a Certificate Regarding Non‐Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or 8BEN-E (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Paying Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.  Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount in respect of U.S. Federal withholding taxes to any Non‐US Lender under Section 2.16(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in this Section 2.16(e)(i) or Section 2.16(e)(ii), or (2) to notify Paying Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.16(e)(i) and Section 2.16(e)(ii) on the Original Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.16(e)(i) shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.
(ii)    Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Company and the Paying Agent on or prior to the Original Closing Date or the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Company or the Paying Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is a U.S. Person and exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.
(iii)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Company and the Paying Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by Company or the Paying Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Company or the Paying Agent as may be necessary for Company and the Paying Agent to 

63

 

comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(e)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iv)    To the extent that a Class B Agent is appointed hereunder, the Class B Agent shall deliver to the Paying Agent and the Company such information as is required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.16.
2.17    Obligation to Mitigate.  Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.15 or 2.16, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments or Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.17 unless Company agrees to pay all reasonable and incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.  A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.17 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.18    Defaulting Lenders.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, any Lender defaults (in each case, a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Revolving Loan (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess, if any, with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders of the applicable Class as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) of such Class as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Class of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class that is not 

64

 

paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any Revolving Commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.7 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total Utilization of Class A Revolving Commitments or the Total Utilization of Class B Revolving Commitments, as applicable, as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender.  No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.18, performance by Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.18.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.18 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default or violation of Section 8.5(c).
2.19    Removal or Replacement of a Lender.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased‐Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Company that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.15 or 2.16, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after Company’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five (5) Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.5(b), the consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non‐Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased‐Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non‐Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Company may, by giving written notice to any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, each Class A Revolving Lender in such Terminated Lender's Class A Lender Group (and such Terminated Lender and, if applicable,  each other such Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees identified by Company (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders,  an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders, pursuant to Section 2.7; (2) on the date of such assignment, Company shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16 and any other amounts due to 

65

 

such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders; and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is an Increased-Cost Lender, such assignment will result in a reduction in any claims for payments under Section 2.15 or 2.16, as applicable, and (4) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non‐Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non‐Consenting Lender.  Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments and, if applicable, the Revolving Commitments of such other Lenders, such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender and such other Lenders.        
2.20    The Paying Agent.

66

 

(e)    The Company shall indemnify the Paying Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred, other than in connection with the willful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Paying Agent, arising out of or in connection with the performance of its obligations under and in accordance with this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement.  All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.12 and such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent.
(f)    The Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are expressly set forth in this Agreement.  No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent.

(g)    The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the direction or request of Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, no longer subject to appeal or review.
(h)    The Paying Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless an authorized officer of the Paying Agent obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Paying Agent receives written notice of such event from the Company, the Servicer, any Secured Party or any Agent, as the case may be.  The receipt and/or delivery of reports and other information under this Agreement by the Paying Agent shall not constitute notice or actual or constructive knowledge of any Default or Event of Default contained therein. 
(i)    The Paying Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Paying Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
(j)    The Paying Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of an Authorized Officer, any Monthly Servicing Report, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
(k)    The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel, selected with due care, shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect 

67

 

of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith.

(m)    Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 2.21, the Paying Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by a Lender, a Class A Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent; provided, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Paying Agent of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation shall be, in the opinion of the Paying Agent, not reasonably assured by the Company, the Paying Agent may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding.  The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Paying Agent, shall be reimbursed by the Company to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.12.

The Paying Agent may rely upon the validity of documents delivered to it, without investigation as to their authenticity or legal effectiveness, and the parties to this Agreement will hold the Paying Agent harmless from any claims that may arise or be asserted against the Paying Agent because of the invalidity of any such documents or their failure to fulfill their intended purpose.

68

 

(r)    The Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to disregard any and all notices or instructions given by any other party hereto or by any other person, firm or corporation, except only such notices or instructions as are herein provided for and orders or process of any court entered or issued with or without jurisdiction.  If any property subject hereto is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part hereof, then and in any of such events the Paying Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, and if it complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree it shall not be liable to any other party hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree maybe subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.
(s)    The Paying Agent may: (i) terminate its obligations as Paying Agent under this Agreement (subject to the terms set forth herein) upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, such resignation shall not be effective until a successor Paying Agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Company shall have accepted appointment by the Lenders as Paying Agent, pursuant hereto and shall have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or (ii) be removed at any time by written demand, of the Requisite Lenders, delivered to the Paying Agent, the Company and the Servicer.  In the event of such termination or removal, the Lenders with the consent of the Company shall appoint a successor paying.  If, however, a successor paying agent is not appointed by the Lenders within ninety (90) days after the giving of notice of resignation, the Paying Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Paying Agent.
(t)    Any successor Paying Agent appointed pursuant hereto shall (i) execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Company, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, and to the predecessor Paying Agent an instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the predecessor Paying Agent shall become effective and such successor Paying Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor as Paying Agent under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent.  The predecessor Paying Agent shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver to the successor Paying Agent all documents and statements and monies held by it under this Agreement; and the Company and the predecessor Paying Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be requested for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Paying Agent all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
(u)    The Company shall reimburse the Paying Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Paying Agent incurred in connection with the succession of any successor Paying Agent including in transferring any funds in its possession to the successor Paying Agent.

69

 

(v)    The Paying Agent shall have no obligation to invest and reinvest any cash held in the Controlled Accounts or any other moneys held by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement in the absence of timely and specific written investment direction from Company.

The Paying Agent shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction.
(w)    If the Paying Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions from any of the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement which, in the reasonable opinion of the Paying Agent, are in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall be entitled (without incurring any liability therefor to the Company or any other Person) to (i) consult with outside counsel of its choosing and act or refrain from acting based on the advice of such counsel and (ii) refrain from taking any action until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the parties hereto or by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(x)    The Paying Agent shall incur no liability nor be responsible to Company or any other Person for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control that significantly and adversely affect the Paying Agent’s ability to perform with respect to this Agreement.  Such acts shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, strikes, work stoppages, acts of terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility.
(y)    The Paying Agent may execute any of its powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of or for the supervision of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

The Company may, with the consent of Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, in its capacity as a Class A Managing Agent, in its sole discretion (which consent may, for avoidance of doubt, be conditioned upon the effectiveness of an amendment or modification to one or more Credit Documents) from time to time elect to increase the Class B Revolving Commitment, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such increases does not exceed $17,647,000.  Each existing Class B Revolving Lender (if any) shall have the right to provide its Pro Rata Share of such increase within ten (10) Business Days of the Company’s increase election pursuant to this Section 2.23 (each such consenting Lender, an “Increasing Lender”).  If one or more of the Class B Revolving Lenders fail to consent or collectively fail to commit to fund the full amount of such increase, the Company may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”); provided that each Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.  No consent of any Lender (other than any Class B Revolving Lender participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Class B Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section.  Increased and new Class B Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to a joinder agreement (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Company, Administrative Agent and such Increasing Lender or Augmenting Lender, as applicable, whereby each such Increasing Lender or Augmenting Lender, as applicable, assumes the rights and obligations of a Class B Revolving Lender hereunder.  Each Joinder Agreement shall also set forth any other applicable terms of the Class B Revolving Commitments being provided thereby, other than pricing terms described in a separate Fee Letter.  The Administrative Agent shall notify each Class A Revolving Lender, and the Company shall notify each Class B Revolving Lender, of each increase in Class B Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.23.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitment, 

73

 

(or in the Class B Revolving Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this paragraph if on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitment, each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Class B Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Class B Agent determines, for the benefit of the other Class B Revolving Lenders, as being required to cause, after giving effect to such increase and paying such amounts to such other Class B Revolving Lenders, each Class B Revolving Lender’s portion of the outstanding Class B Revolving Loans of all the Class B Revolving Lenders to equal its Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Class B Revolving Loans.  For so long as Class B Revolving Commitments are $0, all provisions in this Agreement (other than this Section 2.23) relating to the Class B Agent, Class B Revolving Commitments, Class B Revolving Loans, Class B Revolving Lenders and related matters shall be without effect.

If any Agent engages any independent certified public accountants or other third-party provider to prepare any such report, such Agent shall make such report available to any Class A Manager or Lender, upon request, provided, that delivery of any such report may be conditioned on prior receipt by such independent certified public accountants or other third party provider of the acknowledgements and agreements that such independent certified public accountants or third party provider customarily requires of recipients of reports of that kind.

87

 

Section 5.5(d).

In connection with any such Compliance Review, Company will permit any authorized representatives designated by the Administrative Agent to review Company’s form of Receivable Agreements, Underwriting Policies, information processes and controls, compliance practices and procedures and marketing materials (“Materials”).  Such authorized representatives may make written recommendations regarding Company’s compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, and Company shall consult in good faith with the Administrative Agent regarding such recommendations.  In connection with any Compliance Review pursuant to this Section 5.5(b), the Administrative Agent agrees to use a single regulatory counsel.
(c)    In connection with any inspection pursuant to Section 5.5(a) or a Compliance Review, the Administrative Agent or its designee may contact a Receivables Obligor as reasonably necessary to perform such inspection or Compliance Review, as the case may be, provided, however, that such contact shall be made in the name of, and in cooperation with, Holdings and Company, unless Holdings (i) has failed to so cooperate for at least ten (10) Business Days after receiving a written request from the Administrative Agent requesting such cooperation, or (ii) is no longer the “Servicer” under the Servicing Agreement.

At any time or from time to time upon the request of any Agent or Lender, Company will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as such Agent or Lender may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of the Credit Documents, including providing Lenders with any information reasonably requested pursuant to Section 9.21.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Company shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent or any Class A Revolving Lender may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are secured by substantially all of the assets of Company.

88

 

5.10    Communication with Accountants.  Company authorizes Administrative Agent to communicate directly with Company’s independent certified public accountants and authorizes and shall instruct such accountants to communicate directly with Administrative Agent and authorizes such accountants to (and, upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor (at the request of any Agent), shall request that such accountants) communicate to Administrative Agent information relating to Company with respect to the business, results of operations and financial condition of Company (including the delivery of audit drafts and letters to management), provided that advance notice of such communication is given to Company, and Company is given a reasonable opportunity to cause an officer to be present during any such communication.

The failure of Company to be present during such communication after given such reasonable opportunity shall in no way impair the rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.9.
5.11    Special Covenants Regarding CRR Compliance.  Holdings, in its capacity as sole member of Company, represents that, on the Original Closing Date, its membership interest in the Borrower (the “Retained Interest”) represents a net economic interest in the Receivables which is not less than 5% of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of the Receivables, except to the extent permitted under the Risk Retention Requirements, and the Retained Interest takes the form of the first loss tranche in accordance with Article 404(1)(d) of the CRR, as represented by overcollateralization with respect to each Receivable. Holdings agrees that, from the Original Closing Date until the Termination Date, it shall, for the benefit of each Lender and each Class A Managing Agent and each holding company of any Lender or any Class A Managing Agent that is required to comply with the requirements of the CRR, unless each such Class A Managing Agent shall otherwise consent in writing: 
(a)    hold such membership interest on an ongoing basis until the Termination Date; provided, that Holdings shall not be restricted by this Section 5.10(a) from transferring one or more senior interests in the membership interest, so long as it maintains the most subordinate interest  in such membership interest and such subordinate interest satisfies the requirements of Article 404(1)(d) of the CRR (the “Minimum Retained Membership Interest”);
(b)    not sell or subject the Minimum Retained Membership Interest to any hedge, credit risk mitigation or short position that is not permitted under the Risk Retention Requirements; 
(c)    for the purpose of each Monthly Servicing Report, confirm to the Servicer that it continues to comply with subsections (a) and (b) above;

5.13    No Adverse Selection.  Company shall cause Holdings, when selecting any Receivable sold to the Company hereunder, to comply with the Selection Procedures.  
5.14    Class B Revolving Lender Information Rights.  Company shall provide to the Class B Agent, which shall promptly forward to each Class B Revolving Lender, (a) substantially contemporaneously with its provision to the Administrative Agent any written information required to be provided to the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document, and (b) prompt written notice of (i) any Event of Default under this Agreement and (ii) any written waiver or consent provided under, or any amendment of, any Credit Document.
5.15    Minimum Sales Requirement.  (a)    With respect to each Fiscal Quarter in which the average daily unpaid principal amount of the Class A Revolving Loans is less than 90% of the average daily Class A Revolving Commitments during such Fiscal Quarter, Holdings shall have sold during such Fiscal Quarter Receivables to Company selected by it in accordance with the Selection Procedures in an amount (with respect to any Fiscal Quarter, the “Available Eligible Receivables Amount”) equal to at least 50% of the excess of (A) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all Eligible Receivables originated by Holdings or originated by a Receivables Account Bank and sold to Holdings or an Affiliate of Holdings during such Fiscal Quarter over (B) the sum of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of such Receivables originated during such Fiscal Quarter that Holdings is obligated to sell, or may sell in order to maximize the funds available thereunder to Holdings, to a special-purpose Subsidiary of Holdings in connection with one or more term securitization transactions involving the issuance of securities of a fixed not variable amount rated at least investment grade by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of all such Receivables originated during such Fiscal Quarter that are Marketplace Receivables.  For all purposes of the foregoing, (1) with respect to any Fiscal Quarter, any such Receivables that are originated in such Fiscal Quarter but sold to Company or another Subsidiary of Holdings or as a Marketplace Receivable in the immediately succeeding Fiscal Quarter shall be deemed to have been originated in the Fiscal Quarter in which they were sold, and (2) each percentage under this Section 5.15(a) shall be calculated based on the original Outstanding Principal Balances of the applicable Receivables.

90

 

(b)    During any Monthly Period, the Administrative Agent may in its Permitted Discretion request that Holdings calculate and report to the Administrative Agent its month-to-date satisfaction of the requirements of Section 5.15(a) (it being understood that any such result shall be delivered for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed to require Holdings to comply with the requirements of Section 5.15(a) on an intra-month basis).  
(c)    When Holdings selects Receivables to sell to Company or any other Subsidiary of Holdings that has incurred Funded Indebtedness for the purposes of financing Receivables with substantially similar eligibility criteria, it shall utilize the Selection Procedures.

Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.
8.8    Collateral Documents.

Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company, the Agents and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations or any other amount due hereunder as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Credit Documents, prior to 

106

 

consummating any such public or private sale, the Collateral Agent shall provide the Class B Revolving Lenders with the right (exercisable for a period of one (1) Business Day after written notice) to purchase any such Collateral for cash in immediately available funds at a price equal to $0.03125 higher than the next highest legitimate and observable third-party bid.

(d)    Mechanics.  The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.16(e).
(e)    Notice of Assignment.  Upon the Administrative Agent’s or Class B Agent’s, as applicable, receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement and any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent or Class B Agent, as applicable, shall (i) provide Paying Agent with written notice of such assignment, and Paying Agent shall record the information contained in such notice in the Register, (ii) give prompt notice thereof to Company, and (iii) maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.
(f)    Representations and Warranties of Assignee.  Each Lender, upon execution and delivery of the Existing Credit Agreement or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Original Closing Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Revolving Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Revolving Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Revolving Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.6, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).
(g)    Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement:  (i) the assignee 

112

 

thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising prior to the effective date of such assignment; (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Revolving Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Revolving Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Revolving Loan Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver new Revolving Loan Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. 
(h)    Participations.  Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates or a Direct Competitor) in all or any part of its Revolving Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation.  The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Revolving Loan Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post‐default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.  Company agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation, unless the sale of the 

113

 

participation to such participant is made with Company’s prior written consent, and (ii) a participant that would be a Non‐US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless a Company (through a Designated Officer) is notified of the participation at the time it is sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.  To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.  Any Lender that sells such a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in such participation and other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person other than Company (through a Designated Officer), including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest or obligations under any Credit Document, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent (in its capacity as Paying Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Designated Officer of Company at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Company shall not disclose the identity of any Participant of any Lender or any information relating to such Participant's interest or obligation to any Person, provided that Company may make (1) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential, and (2) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Company shall make reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Lender of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of Company by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non‐public information prior to disclosure of such information.  
(i)    Certain Other Assignments.  In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6:
(i)    any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Revolving Loan Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between Company and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided 

114

 

further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder; and
(ii)    any Class A Revolving Conduit Lender may (i) with notice to the Company, and with the consent of the Managing Agent for the Lender Group of which it is a member, assign at any time all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and interests herein to (A) any other Lender, (B) any commercial paper conduit managed by such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender’s sponsor or administrator bank if the Commercial Paper of such commercial paper conduit have short-term ratings from S&P and Moody’s that are equivalent to or higher than the short-term ratings by S&P and Moody’s of the Commercial Paper of such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender, (C) any Affiliate of such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender’s sponsor bank or (D) any Liquidity Provider with respect to such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender.  
9.7    Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
9.8    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.  Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in Sections 2.15, 2.16, 9.2, 9.3, and 9.10, the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.14, 8.3(b) and 8.6 and the agreements of all parties hereto set forth in Sections 9.22 and 9.23 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.
9.9    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
9.10    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or any other amount due hereunder.  To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds 

115

 

of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
9.11    Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Revolving Loan Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
9.12    Obligations Several; Actions in Concert.  The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document 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 any Revolving Loan Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of the applicable Agent (other than the Paying Agent) or Requisite Lenders (as applicable), it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Revolving Loan Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Requisite Lenders (as applicable).
9.13    Headings.  Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
9.14    APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
9.15    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
(A)    ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (a) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (b) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR

CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO COMPANY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.1 AND TO ANY PROCESS AGENT SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 3.1 ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER COMPANY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (d) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST COMPANY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
(B)    COMPANY HEREBY AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED ON IT BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE ADDRESSES PERTAINING TO IT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9.1 OR ON CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY, 1180 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS, SUITE 120, NEW YORK, NEW YORK  10036 AND HEREBY APPOINTS CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY, AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS.  ANY AND ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY OTHER NOTICE IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST COMPANY IF GIVEN BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS OR MAIL WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNED RECEIPT, POSTAGE PREPAID, MAILED AS PROVIDED ABOVE.  IN THE EVENT CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT SERVICE OF PROCESS AS AFORESAID AND IF COMPANY SHALL NOT MAINTAIN AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK CITY, COMPANY SHALL PROMPTLY APPOINT AND MAINTAIN AN AGENT QUALIFIED TO ACT AS AN AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS WITH RESPECT TO THE COURTS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 9.15 ABOVE, AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AS COMPANY’S AUTHORIZED AGENT TO ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE ON COMPANY’S BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING.
9.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.  THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL‐ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.  EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.  EACH PARTY HERETO 

117

 

FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
9.17    Confidentiality.  Each Agent and Lender shall hold all non‐public information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries and their businesses obtained by such Lender or Agent confidential and shall not disclose such information; provided, however, that, in any event, a Lender or Agent may make (a) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their agents, auditors, attorneys and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.17) provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep, or with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent such Persons will be instructed to keep, such information confidential, (b) disclosures of such information to any other Lender or Agent, (c) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Revolving Loans or any participations therein, provided that no disclosure shall be made to any Direct Competitor except in connection with an assignment or potential assignment to a Direct Competitor that is an Eligible Assignee and such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to hold such confidential information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.17, (d) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, (e) disclosure to any Lender’s financing source or the directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, independent or internal auditors, financial advisors or other professional advisors of such financing source who, in each case, agree to hold confidential such confidential information substantially in accordance with this Section 9.17, (f) disclosures required by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by any regulatory body or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender or Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Company of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender or Agent by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non‐public information prior to disclosure of such information, and (e) any other disclosure authorized by the Company in writing in advance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of any information that is or becomes publicly known or information obtained by a Lender or Agent from sources other than the Company other than as a result of a disclosure by an Agent or Lender known (or that should have reasonably been 

118

 

known) to be in violation of this Section 9.17, and (ii) on or after the Original Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may, at its own expense issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements generally describing this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of Company or Holdings) (collectively, “Trade Announcements”).  Company shall not issue, and shall cause Holdings not to issue, any Trade Announcement using the name of any Agent or Lender, or their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or the transactions contemplated thereunder except (x) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or (y) with the prior approval of Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
9.18    Usury Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Company.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
9.19    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  
9.20    Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

119

 

9.21    Patriot Act.  Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Company, which information includes the name and address of Company and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Company in accordance with the Act.
9.22    Limitation of Liability.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Class A Revolving Conduit Lenders under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of each such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender and shall be payable only at such time as funds are actually received by, or are available to, such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Commercial Paper issued by such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender.  Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper.
(b)    No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any Class A Revolving Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of any Class A Revolving Conduit Lender or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Class A Revolving Conduit Lender contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by any Class A Revolving Conduit Lender of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken or fraudulent omissions made by them.
9.23    No Proceedings.  Company, each Lender, each Managing Agent and each Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Class A Revolving Conduit Lender any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws so long as any Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Commercial Paper shall have been outstanding.
