otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) among KING PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a
Tennessee corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders (such term and each other capitalized
term used but not defined in this introductory statement having the meaning given it in Article 1),
and CREDIT SUISSE, as administrative agent (in such capacity, including any successor thereto, the

all of the Shares pursuant to a two-step transaction in which (a) Merger Sub will acquire pursuant
to the Tender Offer, for a purchase price of $37 per share in cash, those Shares that have been
validly tendered and not withdrawn and accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer (the
“Tender Consideration”) and (b) on the Merger Date and in accordance with the Merger
Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Target with the Target being the surviving
corporation (the “Merger”), and pursuant to the Merger each Share not acquired in the
Tender Offer will be converted into the right to receive $37 in cash pursuant to, and subject to
the provisions of, the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”).

     In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit in
the form of term Loans during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount not in
excess of $200,000,000. The proceeds of the Loans are to be used solely (a) to enable Merger Sub
to pay the Tender Consideration in respect of those Shares that have been validly tendered and not
withdrawn in the Tender Offer and that have been accepted for payment on the Closing Date, the
Tender Consideration in respect of those additional Shares that are validly tendered and not
withdrawn in a subsequent offering period pursuant to the Tender Offer, and the Merger
Consideration on or immediately after the effective date of the Merger and to pay the appraised
value of any Shares held by holders who have properly perfected rights to appraisal in accordance
with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (together, the “Acquisition
Consideration”) and (b) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.

     The Lenders have agreed to extend such credit on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 2

The Credits

     Section 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to
make Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate
principal amount not to exceed its Commitment at such time. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of
Loans may not be reborrowed.

     Section 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of
Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other
Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other
Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i)
an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining
available balance of the Commitment.

     (b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans
or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may

29

 

request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that
any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding
at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any
Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than four Eurodollar Borrowings being outstanding
hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest
Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate
Borrowings.

     (c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the
Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account in the name of the
Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall
not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met,
return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date
of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall
have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount
is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to
the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing (which payment
shall not constitute a waiver of, or otherwise adversely affect, the Borrower’s rights against the
Lender, if any) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of
this Agreement.

     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request any Borrowing or the conversion or

30

 

continuation of any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end
after the Maturity Date.

     Section 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed
Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City
time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing; provided that the Borrower shall not be
entitled to request Loans on more than three occasions in the aggregate. Each such telephonic
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or fax to
the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following
information: (i) whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing
(provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary
syndication of the Term Facility has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as
practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), the Borrower shall not be
permitted, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to request a Eurodollar
Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which
shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be
disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar
Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any
contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in
any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period
with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and
the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

     Section 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of
each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

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

     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of
each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal

31

 

or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the
Borrower or any Guarantor and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

     (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note.
In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests
represented by such note shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such
interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the
payee named therein or its registered assigns.

     Section 2.05. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December (commencing
with March, 2009) in each year and on each date on which any Commitment of such Lender shall expire
or be terminated as provided herein, a delayed draw fee (a “Delayed Draw Fee”) equal to
5.00% per annum on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter
(or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the Commitment
of such Lender shall expire or be terminated); provided that any Delayed Draw Fee owing to a Lender
which is a Defaulting Lender may be withheld by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion for
so long as such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender. All Delayed Draw Fees shall be computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

     (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the
administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein
(the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

     (c) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none
of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

32

 

     Section 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans
comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of 360 days and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing
to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Percentage.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing
shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360
days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for
such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage.

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such
Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate for any
day or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case
may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

     Section 2.07. Default Interest. If (a) the Borrower shall default in the payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, by acceleration or otherwise, (b) if any event described in paragraphs (g) or (h) of
Article 7 shall occur or (c) if any Event of Default under Article 7 (other than paragraphs (b),
(c), (g) or (h) thereunder) has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders so vote, then,
in the case of clause (a) above, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, in the
case of clause (b) above, which such event is continuing or, in the case of clause (c) above, from
the date such vote has been exercised by the Required Lenders and for so long as such Event of
Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on
demand, (i) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to
Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (ii) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the rate that would be
applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

     Section 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the
day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing
the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the
Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or
Lenders whose Loans to be included in such Borrowing aggregate at least 51% thereof advise the
Administrative Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such
Interest Period, or if the

33

 

Administrative Agent shall have determined that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give
written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any
such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for
a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for
an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments shall
automatically terminate on the last day of the Availability Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all the Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 15,
2009, if the first Credit Event shall not have occurred by such time in accordance with Section
4.01 and 4.02. The Commitment of each Lender shall automatically be reduced on the date of each
Loan by such Lender in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan. If on any date that a
repayment is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11 or a mandatory prepayment is required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.13 the aggregate principal amount of the required payment or
prepayment exceeds the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans, then the Commitments (if
any) shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the
Commitments and the amount of such excess.

     (b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to
time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of
the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000.

     (c) Except with respect to any reduction pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section
2.09(a), each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of each termination or
reduction, the Delayed Draw Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued
to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

     Section 2.10 . Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right
at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00
(noon), New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar
Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three
Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar
Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing

34

 

as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00
(noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period
with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each
case to the following:

     (i) until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary
syndication of the Term Facility has been completed (which notice shall be given as
promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing Date), no ABR
Borrowing may be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess
of one month without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;

     (ii) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in
accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or
continued Borrowing;

     (iii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be
converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations
specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and maximum
number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

     (iv) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by
recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such
conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an
equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof)
being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

     (v) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

     (vi) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one
month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

     (vii) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be
automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
into an ABR Borrowing;

     (viii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Borrowing that would (a)
cause there to be more than four different

35

 

Interest Periods applicable to the Eurodollar Borrowings at such time after giving
effect to the selection of such Interest Period or (b) end later than a Repayment Date
occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to
such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Borrowings
comprised of Loans with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date and (B)
the ABR Borrowings would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Borrowings to be
paid on such Repayment Date; and

     (ix) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request
of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or
Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar
Loan.

     Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this
Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be
converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a
Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of
such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest
Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a
Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant
to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the
Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing
into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with
this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued
as an ABR Borrowing.

     Section 2.11. Repayment of Borrowings. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a
Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a “Repayment
Date”), a principal amount of the Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections
2.12 and Section 2.13(g)) equal to the amount set forth below for such date, together in each case
with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of
such payment:

     (b) In the event and on each occasion that the Commitments shall be reduced or shall expire or
terminate other than as a result of the making of a Term Loan, the installments payable on each
Repayment Date shall be reduced pro rata by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such
reduction, expiration or termination.

     (c) To the extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding
the date of payment.

     (d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall
otherwise be without premium or penalty.

     Section 2.12. Voluntary Prepayment. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’
prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in
the case of Eurodollar Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by
written or fax notice) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of ABR
Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time; provided, however, that
each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $1,000,000.

     (b) Voluntary prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement shall be applied pro rata
against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Loans under Section
2.11(a).

     (c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of
each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the
Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein;
provided, however, that if such prepayment is for all of the then outstanding Loans, then the
Borrower may revoke such notice and/or extend the prepayment date by not more than five

37

 

Business Days; provided further, however, that the provisions of Section 2.16 shall apply with
respect to any such revocation or extension. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be
subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this
Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be
prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

     Section 2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Substantially simultaneously with (and in any
event not later than the third Business Day following) the receipt by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to
(i) the Specified Share multiplied by (ii) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay
outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g).

     (b) Substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day
following) the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from any Equity
Issuance, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay
outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g).

     (c) No later than the earlier of (such earlier date, the “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment
Date”) (i) 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the
fiscal year ending on December 31, 2009, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with
respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Borrower shall prepay
outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50%
of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended; provided that the percentage referred to above
shall be reduced to 25% if (1) the Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year is less than 1.75
to 1.0 and (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Excess
Cash Flow Prepayment Date.

     (d) Substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day
following) the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or
incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of
Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall apply an
amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with
Section 2.13(g).

     (e) Substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day
following) the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from any ARS
Liquidation Event, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to (i) the Specified Share multiplied
by (ii) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section
2.13(g).

38

 

     (f) Substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day
following) the receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds from any
Extraordinary Receipt, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds
to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(g).

     (g) Mandatory prepayments pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section shall be
applied as follows:

     (i) first, to the Loans and applied pro rata against the remaining scheduled
installments of principal due in respect of the Loans under Section 2.11(a), subject to
the proviso to this paragraph below; and

     (ii) second, any remaining amounts may be retained by the Borrower;

provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender may elect, by notice to
the Administrative Agent by facsimile or by e-mail within one Business Day of receiving
notification from the Administrative Agent of any prepayment of its Loans, to decline (in whole but
not in part) such prepayment pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section, in which case
the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay the Loans of such
declining Lender may be retained by the Borrower. Mandatory prepayments in respect of the Loans
shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Loans being prepaid irrespective of
whether such outstanding Loans are ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided that if no Lenders
exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section,
then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be
applied first to Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Loans
that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16.

     (h) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment
required under this Section 2.13, a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower
setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Borrower
shall provide at least three days prior written notice of such prepayment, specifying the
prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or
portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be
subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding
the date of payment.

     Section 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve, special deposit or similar

39

 

requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any
Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall
impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement
or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise) by an amount determined in good faith by such Lender to be material, then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     (b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made
pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for
any such reduction suffered.

     (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, together
with an explanation in reasonable detail, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate delivered by it within 15 days after its receipt of the same.

     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs
or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower
shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with
respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 90
days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of
the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such
circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs
or reductions; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased
costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such
90-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any
possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have
occurred or been imposed.

40

 

     Section 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any
Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any
Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

     (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the
duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for
additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be
converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to
convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing
for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for
an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an
ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn;
and

     (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be
converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically
converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph
(b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and
prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that
would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead
be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion
of, such Eurodollar Loans.

     (b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be
effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the
Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be
effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

     Section 2.16. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any actual loss or
expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a
default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such
Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of
any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any
Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor,
or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made
pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such
Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events

41

 

referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in
the making of any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan required to be made hereunder. In
the case of any Breakage Event, such actual loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as
reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its actual cost (which may be determined by such
Lender by any reasonable method) of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of
such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the
Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of
interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by
reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16, together
with an explanation in reasonable detail, shall be delivered to the Borrower. In determining any
additional amounts owing under this Section 2.16, each Lender will act reasonably and in good
faith; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.16
shall, absent manifest error, unreasonableness or bad faith, be final and conclusive and binding on
all parties hereto.

     Section 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which
require, or permit, differing payments to be made to non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to
Defaulting Lenders, and as required under Section 2.15, and other than with respect to any
prepayment rejected by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.13(g), each Borrowing, each payment
or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of
the Delayed Draw Fees, each reduction of the Commitments (except in accordance with the penultimate
sentence of Section 2.09(a)) and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any
Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance
with their respective applicable Commitments and Loans. Each Lender agrees that in computing such
Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole
Dollar amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not apply
to any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

     Section 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise
of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other
security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means,
obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the
unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal
portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be

42

 

deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall
promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such
other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in
Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of
banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans
outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event;
provided, however, that (a) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant
to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such
purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the
purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (b) the provisions of this
Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any
Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all
rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the
Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to
the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     Section 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or
interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document
not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available
Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date
may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next
succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. Each such payment shall be
made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010, or as
otherwise directed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments
received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

     (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal
of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such
payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

     (c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and Fees then due hereunder, such funds shall
be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and Fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in

43

 

accordance with the amounts of interest and Fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second,
towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

     Section 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the
Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan
Party shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (c) The Borrower or any other Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with
respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower
by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent or Lender may, at its sole reasonable
discretion, take such steps as the Borrower reasonably requests to assist the Borrower, at the
Borrower’s own expense, to minimize or, as applicable, recover such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes.

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

44

 

     (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the United States, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to
payments under this Agreement shall, after having received from the Borrower or any other Loan
Party notice of the availability of such exemptions from or reductions of withholding tax, as well
as all such appropriate documentation prescribed by applicable law, deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at
a reduced rate; provided that such Foreign Lender is lawfully able to do so and that complying with
such requirements would not require such Lender Party to disclose any confidential or proprietary
information or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender Party (in form, in procedure
or in the substance of information disclosed).

     Section 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a)
In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section
2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater
percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other
modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with
respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume
such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested
amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (w) with respect to clause (i) to (iii)
above, such assignment will result in a reduction in the claim for compensation under Section 2.14
or in the withdrawal of the notice under Section 2.15 or in the reduction of payments under Section
2.20, as the case may be, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation
or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall
have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the
affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and
interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all Fees
and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with

45

 

respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16); provided further that,
if prior to any such transfer and assignment (A) in the case of clauses (i) to (iii) above, the
circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14,
notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease
to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or
reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or
cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a
result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall
waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances
or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further
payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event, (B) in the case of clause
(iv) above, such assigning Lender shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other
modification, and (C) in the case of clause (v) above, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a
Defaulting Lender as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any
such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an
irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on
behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any
assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section
2.21(a).

     (b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers
a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an
unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with
its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden
deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in
writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would
reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant
to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in
the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and
each of the Lenders that:

46

Material Foreign Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under

its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted, (c) is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where
such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) has the power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents and each other agreement or
instrument contemplated thereby to which it is or will be a party and, in the case of the Borrower,
to borrow hereunder.

     Section 3.02. Authorization. The Transactions have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate and, if required, stockholder action. The Transactions will not (i) violate (A) any
provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, or of the certificate or articles of incorporation
or other constitutive documents or bylaws of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (B) any order of any
Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, agreement or other instrument to
which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is
or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate or to
require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under any such indenture,
agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or
with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (other than any Lien created hereunder or under the Security Documents) except, with
respect to clauses (i)(C) and (ii), any defaults arising under any Indebtedness of the Target or
any subsidiary of the Target as a direct result of (i) the execution, delivery and performance by
the Borrower and the Merger Sub of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the
other transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the consummation of the Tender Offer (together the
“Acquisition Transactions”), in each case to the extent that such defaults would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan
Party party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such
Loan Party enforceable against the Borrower or such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

     Section 3.04. Governmental Approvals. No action, consent or approval of, registration or
filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection
with the Transactions, except (a) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and
filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office,
(b)

47

 

recordation of the Mortgages, (c) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and
effect and (d) in the case of any such action required to be taken in connection with the
Acquisition Transactions, to the extent the failure to take any such action could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 3.05. Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the
Lenders its consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and
cash flows (i) as of the end of and for each fiscal year in the three-fiscal year period ended
December 31, 2007, audited by and accompanied by the opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
independent public accountants, (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2008, certified by its chief financial officer and (iii) as of and for the
fiscal months and the portion of the fiscal year ended after the date of the most recently ended
fiscal quarter and not less than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, certified by its chief
financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial
condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods. Such balance sheets and the notes thereto
disclose all material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. Such financial statements (other than such monthly financial
statements) were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and are in
compliance with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to year-end audit adjustments and the
absence of footnotes.

     (b) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders the consolidated balance sheets and
related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Target (i) as of the end
of and for each fiscal year in the three-fiscal year period ended December 31, 2007, audited by and
accompanied by the opinion of BDO Seidman, LLP, independent public accountants, (ii) as of and for
the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and (iii) as of and
for the fiscal months and the portion of the fiscal year ended after the date of the most recently
ended fiscal quarter and not less than 30 days prior to the Closing Date. Such financial
statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of
operations and cash flows of the Target and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for
such periods. Such balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose all material liabilities, direct
or contingent, of the Target and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. Such
financial statements (other than such monthly financial statements) were prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and are in compliance with the requirements of
Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject, in the case of unaudited
financial statements, to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

     (c) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders its unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet and related pro forma statements of income,

48

 

stockholder’s equity and cash flows as of September 30, 2008, prepared giving effect to the
Transactions as if they had occurred, with respect to such balance sheet, on such date and, with
respect to such other financial statements, on the first day of the twelve-month period ending on
such date. Such pro forma financial statements have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower,
based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial information contained in the
Confidential Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower on the Closing
Date to be reasonable), are based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date
of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the
Transactions and present fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated
consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date
and for such period, assuming that the Transactions had actually occurred at such date or at the
beginning of such period, as the case may be.

     Section 3.06. No Material Adverse Change. (a) There has been no Material Adverse Effect
since December 31, 2007.

     (b) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     Section 3.07. Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a) The Borrower and each of
the Domestic Subsidiaries and Material Foreign Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or
valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property rights in, or is licensed to
use, all its material properties and assets (including all Mortgaged Property), except for minor
defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently
conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes. All such material
properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section
6.02.

     (b) The Borrower and each of the Domestic Subsidiaries and Material Foreign Subsidiaries has
complied with all material obligations under all material leases to which it is a party and all
such leases are in full force and effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary enjoys peaceful and
undisturbed possession under all such material leases.

     (c) As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has not received any notice of, nor has any knowledge
of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting the Mortgaged Properties or any
sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation.

     (d) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.20(a) or 3.20(b), as of the Closing Date, none of the
Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries is obligated under any right of first refusal, option or other
contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein.

49

 

     Section 3.08. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.08 sets forth as of the Closing Date a list of all
Subsidiaries and the direct or indirect ownership interests of the Borrower therein, and identifies
each Subsidiary that is a Material Foreign Subsidiary on the Closing Date. The shares of capital
stock or other ownership interests so indicated on Schedule 3.08 are fully paid and non-assessable
and, as of the Closing Date, are owned by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, free and clear of
all Liens (other than Liens created under the Security Documents, the Revolving Liens and statutory
nonconsensual Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02).

     Section 3.09. Litigation; Compliance with Laws. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.09,
there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations at law or in equity or by or before any
Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or
affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any business, property or rights of any such person (i)
that involve any Loan Document or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Since the Closing Date, there has been no change in the status of the matters disclosed on
Schedule 3.09 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the
likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) The Borrower and each of the Domestic Subsidiaries and Material Foreign Subsidiaries is in
compliance with all laws, regulations, consent decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it (including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, ERISA, employee health and
safety, margin regulations, Environmental Laws and Health Care Laws) or its property and all
indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the
failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect.

     (d) None of the Borrower or any of the Domestic Subsidiaries or Material Foreign Subsidiaries
or any of their respective material properties or assets is in violation of, nor will the continued
operation of their material properties and assets as currently conducted violate, any law, rule or
regulation (including any zoning, building, Environmental Law, ordinance, code or approval or any
building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting the Mortgaged Property, or
is in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental
Authority, where such violation or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (e) Certificates of occupancy and permits (in each case, to the extent required by applicable
law) are in effect for each Mortgaged Property as currently constructed, and true and complete
copies of such certificates of occupancy have been delivered to the Collateral Agent as mortgagee
with respect to each Mortgaged Property.

50

 

     Section 3.10. Agreements. (a) Neither the Borrower nor any of the Domestic Subsidiaries or
Material Foreign Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate
restriction that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (b) Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries is in default in any manner under any
provision of any indenture or other agreement or instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other
material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties or
assets are or may be bound, where such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     Section 3.11. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) Neither the Borrower nor any of the
Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

     (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and
whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or
that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T,
U or X.

     Section 3.12. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries is
an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act
of 1940.

     Section 3.13. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only for the
purposes specified in the Preliminary Statements.

     Section 3.14. Tax Returns. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has filed or caused to
be filed all Federal and all other material state, local and foreign tax returns or materials
required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all Federal and all other
material taxes due and payable by it and all assessments received by it, except taxes that are
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with
GAAP.

     Section 3.15. No Material Misstatements. None of (a) the Confidential Information
Memorandum or (b) any other information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished
by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto taken as a whole
contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will
omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not misleading; provided that to the
extent any such information, report,

51

 

financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or
projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable
assumptions (based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial
statements of the Borrower) and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial
statement, exhibit or schedule (it being understood that any such forecast or projection is not a
guarantee of future performance and that actual results during the period covered by such forecast
or projection may materially differ from the projected results thereof).

     Section 3.16. Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates is in
compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the
regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably
expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be
expected to result in material liability of the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. The
present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for
purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual

Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the

matured; (c) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their
debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become

Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of payment of the premium therefor.

     (c) If at any time the area in which the Premises (as defined in the Mortgages) are located is
designated (i) a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), obtain flood insurance in such total amount
as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may from time to time
require, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as it may be amended from time to time, or (ii) a “Zone 1” area,
obtain earthquake insurance in such total amount as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
or the Required Lenders may from time to time require.

     (d) With respect to any Mortgaged Property, carry and maintain comprehensive general liability
insurance including the “broad form CGL endorsement” and coverage on an occurrence basis against
claims made for personal injury (including bodily injury, death and property damage) and umbrella
liability insurance against any and all claims, in no event for a combined single limit of less
than that which is customary for companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same
or similar locations, naming the Collateral Agent as an additional insured, on forms satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent.

     (e) Notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly whenever any separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be
maintained under this Section 5.02 is taken out by any Loan Party; and promptly deliver to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a duplicate original copy of such policy or policies.

     Section 5.03. Obligations and Taxes. Pay its Indebtedness and other obligations promptly
when due and in accordance with their terms (it being understood that nothing in this Section shall
require the payment of amounts for which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is in good faith disputing
its liability so long as the Borrower shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect thereto in accordance with GAAP) and pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in
respect of its property, before the same shall become delinquent or in default, as well as all
lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise that, if unpaid, might give rise to a
Lien upon such properties or any part thereof; provided, however, that such payment and discharge
shall not be required with respect to any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim so long as
the validity or amount thereof shall be contested in good

64

 

faith by appropriate proceedings and the Borrower shall have set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and such contest operates to suspend
collection of the contested obligation, tax, assessment or charge and enforcement of a Lien and, in
the case of a Mortgaged Property, there is no risk of forfeiture of such property.

     Section 5.04. Financial Statements, Reports, etc. In the case of the Borrower, furnish to

material qualification)) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements fairly present

     (d) concurrently with any delivery of financial statements under paragraph (a) above, a
certificate of the accounting firm that reported on such statements (which certificate may be
prepared in accordance with professional accounting standards and may be limited to accounting
matters and disclaim responsibility for legal interpretations) stating that in performing the audit
necessary therefor, no knowledge was obtained of the existence of any Event of Default or Default
with respect to Sections 6.10, 6.11 or 6.12 or, if such knowledge was obtained, specifying the
existence thereof in reasonable detail;

     (e) on or prior to each date of delivery of financial statements under paragraph (a) above,
the Borrower shall provide to each Lender a business plan for the following two years, in a form
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

     (f) promptly after the same become publicly available, copies of all reports (excluding, in
any event, copies of press releases) which the Borrower sends to its stockholders, and copies of

66

 

     Section 5.05. Litigation and Other Notices. Furnish to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender prompt written notice of the following:

     (a) promptly after the Borrower obtains knowledge thereof, any Event of Default or Default,
specifying the nature and extent thereof and the corrective action (if any) taken or proposed to be
taken with respect thereto;

     (b) the filing or commencement of, or any written threat or written notice of intention of any
person to file or commence, any action, suit or proceeding, whether at law or in equity or by or

Term Facility on a “CreditWatch” or “WatchList” or any similar list, in each case with negative
implications, or its cessation of, or its intent to cease, rating the Borrower or the Term
Facility.

     Section 5.06. Information Regarding Collateral. (a) Furnish to the Administrative Agent
prompt written notice of any change (i) in any Loan Party’s corporate name, (ii) in the
jurisdiction of organization or formation of any Loan Party, (iii) in any Loan Party’s identity or

Borrower agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all
filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order
for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and
perfected security interest in all the Collateral. The Borrower also agrees promptly to notify the
Administrative Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged or destroyed.

     (b) In the case of the Borrower, each year commencing with the year ended December 31, 2009,

the Administrative Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect the financial records and the
properties of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower

records, and permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to

occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower and/or the
Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000, a statement of a Financial Officer of the

cause all lessees and other persons occupying its then current Properties to comply, in all
material respects with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits applicable to its
operations and then current Properties; obtain and renew all Environmental Permits necessary for
its operations and then current Properties except for such noncompliance as could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and conduct any
Remedial Action in accordance with Environmental Laws; provided, however, that neither the Borrower
nor any of the Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake any Remedial Action to the extent that
its obligation to do so is being

68

 

contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being
maintained by the Borrower with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

     Section 5.11. Preparation of Environmental Reports. If a Default caused by reason of a
breach of Section 3.17 or Section 5.10 shall have occurred and be continuing for more than 20 days
without the Borrower or any Subsidiary commencing activities reasonably likely to cure such
Default, at the written request of the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent, provide
to the Lenders within 45 days after such request, at the expense of the Loan Parties, an
environmental site assessment report regarding the matters which are the subject of such Default

or remedial action in connection with such Default.

     Section 5.12. Compliance with Laws. Comply with all laws, regulations, consent decrees and

Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.13. Further Assurances.

     (a) As soon as practicable and in any event within thirty days of the Closing Date, with
respect to each Mortgage delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(i), cause to be delivered to the
Collateral Agent (i) a policy or policies of title insurance issued by a nationally recognized
title insurance company insuring the Lien of such Mortgage as a valid Lien (with the priority
described therein) on the Mortgaged Property described therein, free of any other Liens except as
expressly permitted by Section 6.02, together with such endorsements and reinsurance as the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and which are available at
commercially reasonable rates in the jurisdiction where the applicable Mortgaged Property is
located; and (ii) unless the Collateral Agent shall have agreed otherwise in its reasonable
discretion, a survey for which all necessary fees (where applicable) have been paid (1) prepared by
a surveyor reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, (2) dated not earlier than three months

company issuing the title insurance policy for such Mortgaged Property pursuant to clause (i),

Agent, and (4) complying with the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title
Surveys”, jointly established and adopted by the American Land Title Association and National

landlord consent to a leasehold mortgage in favor of

69

 

the Collateral Agent with respect to the leased premises of Borrower located at 1 Duggar
Drive, Willow Island, West Virginia. If such consent is obtained, Borrower shall take, or cause
its Subsidiaries to take, all further actions that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in
order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect a valid first priority security interest in such
leased premises, including the execution and delivery of a leasehold mortgage in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     (c) Execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements, amendments,
supplements and instruments, and take all further actions (including filing Uniform Commercial Code
and other financing or continuation statements, mortgages, deeds of trust and aircraft mortgages)
that may be required under applicable law, or that the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the
validity and first priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the
Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.
The Borrower will cause any subsequently acquired or organized Domestic Subsidiary to become a
Loan Party (in the case of the Target and each Domestic Subsidiary of the Target, by no later than
the Merger Date) by executing the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and each applicable Security
Document in favor of the Collateral Agent. In addition, from time to time, the Borrower will, at
its cost and expense, promptly secure the Obligations by pledging or creating, or causing to be
pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to such of the assets and properties
of the Loan Parties as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall designate (it being
understood that it is the intent of the parties that the Obligations shall be secured by
substantially all the assets of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries (in the case of the
Target and each Domestic Subsidiary of the Target, such security to be granted by no later than the
Merger Date) (including real and other properties acquired subsequent to the Closing Date but
subject to limitations and exceptions expressly set forth in the Security Documents)). Such
security interests and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other security
agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments and documents in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Lenders all such instruments and documents (including legal opinions, title
insurance policies and lien searches) as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence
compliance with this Section. The Borrower agrees to provide such evidence as the Collateral Agent
shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest
and Lien. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower will give prompt notice to the
Administrative Agent of the acquisition by it or any of the Subsidiaries of any real property (or
any interest in real property) having a value in excess of $1,000,000.

70

 

     Section 5.14. Interest Rate Protection. No later than the 90th day after the Closing Date,
enter into, and for a minimum of two years thereafter maintain, Hedging Agreements acceptable to
the Administrative Agent that result in at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of its
funded long-term Indebtedness being effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate
acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

     Section 5.15. Consummation of the Merger. Use commercially reasonable efforts to complete
the Merger (which efforts shall include voting, or causing to be voted, all of the Shares then
owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of the Merger, to the extent any such
vote is taken pursuant to the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement as promptly as practicable following the consummation of the Tender Offer.

     Section 5.16. Alpharma Escrow Account. If, on the date that is 45 days after the Closing
Date, any principal remains outstanding under the Alpharma Convertible Notes, deposit an amount
equal to such unpaid principal amount into a Controlled Deposit Account subject to a Deposit
Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
(such account, the “Alpharma Escrow Account”). The Deposit Account Control Agreement
governing the Alpharma Escrow Account shall provide that the amounts on deposit in the Alpharma
Escrow Account may only be withdrawn by the Borrower (and withdrawals shall be subject to receipt
by the Collateral Agent and the applicable depositary bank of a certification from the Borrower
(the “Withdrawal Certificate”) that the amounts withdrawn shall be applied) for the
following purposes: (i) to make principal payments with respect to the Alpharma Convertible Notes,
(ii) to pay Acquisition Consideration (including Merger Consideration) due upon the conversion of
the Alpharma Convertible Notes in accordance with their terms or (iii) to voluntarily prepay (x)
Loans hereunder or (y) following payment in full of the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, to
repay loans outstanding under the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement (which repayment shall be
accompanied by a permanent reduction in the commitments under the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement
in an amount equal to such repayment). Borrower agrees that any amounts withdrawn from the
Alpharma Escrow Account shall be applied for the purpose specified in the Withdrawal Certificate
promptly and in any event not later than 3 Business Days following such withdrawal.

     (h) the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any

result in a Material Adverse Effect;

     (j) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other such ERISA

accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);

     (l) any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be,
or shall be asserted by the Borrower or any other Loan Party not to be, a valid, perfected, first
priority (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document)
security interest in the securities, assets or properties covered thereby, except to the extent
that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to
(i) maintain possession of certificates representing securities pledged under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement or (ii) file or record any financing statement delivered to the Collateral
Agent by the Borrower; or

     (m) there shall have occurred a Change in Control;

Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i)
terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due
and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and
payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other
liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other
Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to the Borrower
described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid
accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan
Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any
other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything

ARTICLE 8

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; Etc.

     Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for
purposes of this Article 8, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to
collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on
its behalf and to exercise such

87

 

powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents
(including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with
respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Security Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting
the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation,
enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

     The institution serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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 an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

     Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that
such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any
duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article 4 or

88

 

elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to such Agent.

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

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

     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent
may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor
(subject to any restriction on appointing a successor Collateral Agent set forth in the Security
Documents). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a
bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Agent
has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after
the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become
effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder
and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be (subject to any
restriction on appointing a successor Collateral Agent set forth in the Security Documents). Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable
by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article

89

 

and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent.

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

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan
Document, each of the Joint Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and
the Senior Managing Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective
capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint
Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Senior Managing Agents
shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided
herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Joint
Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co- Documentation Agents nor the Senior Managing Agents
in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other person.

     In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents, at
their option and in their discretion, to:

     (a) release any Lien on any property granted or held by the Agents under the Loan Documents
(i) upon termination or expiration of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other
than contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations as to which no claim has been
asserted), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing
in accordance with Section 9.08; and

     (b) release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty if such person ceases to be
a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

     Upon request by either Agent, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s
authority to release its interests in particular types of collateral or to release any Guarantor
from its obligations to guarantee pursuant to this Article 8 (it being understood that any Agent’s
failure to make such a request

90

 

shall not affect the authority expressly granted to the Agent by the terms hereof or any other
Loan Document).

     Each Lender (and each person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 9.04) hereby
(i) acknowledges that Credit Suisse (and any successor to Credit Suisse in such capacities) is
acting under the Security Documents in multiple capacities as the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the administrative agent and the collateral agent pursuant to the Revolving
Loan Documents and (ii) waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in
connection therewith and agrees not to assert against Credit Suisse (and such successor) any
claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto. Each
Lender (and each person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 9.04) hereby authorizes
and directs Credit Suisse (and such successor) to enter into the Security Documents on behalf of
such Lender and agrees that Credit Suisse (and such successor), in its various capacities
thereunder, may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of the Security
Documents.

ARTICLE 9

Miscellaneous

     Section 9.01. Notices; Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications provided
for herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or
overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by fax, as follows:

     (a) if to the Borrower, to it at 501 Fifth Street, Bristol, TN 37620, Attention of Randy
Sharrow (Fax No.                       ), with a copy to James Elrod at the above address (Fax

     (b) if to the Administrative Agent, to Credit Suisse, Agency Manager, One Madison Avenue, New
York, NY 10010 (Fax No.                       , e-mail:
                      ; and

     (c) if to a Lender, to it at its address (or fax number) set forth on Schedule 2.01 or in the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender shall have become a party hereto.

     All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered
by hand or overnight courier service or sent by fax or on the date five Business Days after
dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed
(properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 9.01 or in accordance with the
latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 9.01. As agreed
to among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the

91

 

applicable Lenders from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered
by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable person provided from time to
time by such person.

     The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless
the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to
the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent
all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article 5, including
all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other
information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Borrowing
Request or a notice pursuant to Section 2.10, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other
amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any
Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iv) is required to
be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any
Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being
referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in
an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative
Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the
Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan
Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

     The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the
Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder
(collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or
another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be
“public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information
with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower
hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC”
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the
Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such
Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the
Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws
(provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information,
they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are
permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;”
and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any

92

 

Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1)
the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Loan Documents.

     Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public
Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the
content 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 law, including United
States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications 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.

     THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY
OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY
OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE
COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS
RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER
OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING
DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN
TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S
TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH
PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY
FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

     The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative
Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the
Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees
that receipt of notice to it

93

 

(as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the
Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of
the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by
electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing
notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such
e-mail address.

     Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any
notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such
Loan Document.

     Section 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of
the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan
or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is
outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the
Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender.

     Section 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective and legally binding on
the parties hereto when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns.

     Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and
assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement
shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

     (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all

94

 

or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide
notice of any such assignment to the Borrower (failure to provide or delay in providing such notice
shall not invalidate such assignment); (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral
multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such
Lender’s Commitment or Loans); provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds
shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met;
(iii) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative
Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the
Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced
in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the
assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which
may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or
their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and
state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms; and (v) no assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any
Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

     (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its
Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without

95

 

giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such
Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties
or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that
it is an Eligible Assignee; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section
3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and
Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it
as a Lender.

     (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register and any
Assignments and Acceptances delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.04(d)
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the
assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee

96

 

referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the
Administrative Agent to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent
shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein
in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph (e).

     (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell
participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing
to it); provided, however, 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, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled
to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the
same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater
extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than
amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or
person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the
Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal
payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating
bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating
bank or person has an interest or releasing any Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale
of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or all or substantially all of the
Collateral). To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank or other person also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such participating
bank or other person agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.

     (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished
to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of
Confidential Information, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary
exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information on terms no less
restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

97

 

     (h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender;
provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such
in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i)
nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects
not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the
Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a
Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no
SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join
any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (A)
with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any
Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC
to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

     (j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment
without such consent shall be null and void.

     Section 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Joint Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility and the preparation and
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions

98

 

hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Joint Arrangers, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in
connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of Davis Polk & Wardwell, counsel for the Joint Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and
disbursements of any other counsel for the Joint Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender.

     (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Joint Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such
person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the
performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of
the Term Facility), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a
party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective shareholders or Affiliates), or (iv) any
actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on any property or
facility presently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

     (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, such Lender’s pro rata share (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 the Collateral Agent in its capacity as
such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its

99

 

share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and Commitments at the time, (in each case,
determined as if no Lender were a Defaulting Lender).

     (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the
invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand
therefor.

     Section 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, but excluding payroll and related trust fund accounts) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether
or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

     Section 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or

100

 

power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b)
below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may
be waived, amended or modified other than pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, by the
Loan Parties party thereto and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, with the consent of the Required Lenders. No agreement referred to in the preceding sentence
shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal
payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such
payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior
written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend any
Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior
written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17,
the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section or release any Guarantor (other
than in connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) or
all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv)
modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the
written consent of such SPC, (v) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term
“Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood
that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this
Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same
basis as the Commitments on the Closing Date), or (vi) amend the definition of “Eligible Assignee”
to include the Borrower or any Affiliates of the Borrower without the prior written consent of
Lenders having Loans and Commitments representing more than 66 2/3% of the sum of all Loans and
Commitments outstanding at such time; provided that it is understood and agreed that any such
amendment may impose terms and conditions on any assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate that
are acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided further
that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

101

 

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.08, if the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error
or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan
Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provisions and the resulting amendment shall become effective without any further action of consent
of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required
Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

     Section 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

     Section 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any
other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded
by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties
hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by
reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     Section 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF
ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)

102

 

ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

     Section 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and
therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect
the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provisions.

     Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by fax
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

     Section 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

     Section 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in
this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

103

 

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

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

     Section 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined
below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’
officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors
(it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or
quasi-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) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or
any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder,
(e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section
9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g)
to the extent such Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 9.16. For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information”
shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business,
other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower; provided
that, in the case of Confidential Information received from the Borrower after the Closing Date,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section
9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised
the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such
person would accord its own confidential information.

104

 

     Section 9.17. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any
actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or
any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff,
rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute
any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any
Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in
any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The
provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any
right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

     Section 9.18. Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on
behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower, for itself and the Subsidiaries, that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107 56 (signed into law October
26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address
of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in accordance
with the Patriot Act.

     Section 9.19. No Fiduciary Duty. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries,
agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other
Loan Document and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries and
their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates,
on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or
otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their
Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions
or communications.

Exhibit 10.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) made and entered into as of
the 19th day of December 2008, by and between Lorillard, Inc. (the “Company”), a
Delaware corporation with its principal office at 714 Green Valley Road, Greensboro, NC 27408, and
Martin L. Orlowsky (“Orlowsky”), with his principal office at 714 Green Valley Road, Greensboro, NC
27408.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Orlowsky has been Chief Executive Officer and President of the Lorillard Tobacco
Company (“Lorillard Tobacco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, since January 1, 1999,
having served ably as President and Chief Operating Officer and in other executive positions prior
thereto;

     WHEREAS, Orlowsky has served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
since January 22, 2008;

     WHEREAS, Lorillard Tobacco and Orlowsky entered into an Employment Agreement (as amended and
restated effective February 1, 2008) as further amended on May 5, 2008 by letter agreement
(together, the “Prior Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, Orlowsky’s leadership and expertise have been, and will be in the future, major
factors in the successful operation of the Company in the difficult and rapidly changing
environment in which the Company finds itself;

     WHEREAS, the Company deems it to be critical and in its best interests to retain the
experience, ability and management skills of Orlowsky, and to enter into this Agreement, and
Orlowsky desires to enter into this Agreement;

     WHEREAS, Lorillard Tobacco desires to assign its rights and obligations under the Prior
Agreement to the Company, the Company desires to assume and be solely responsible for all such
obligations under the Prior Agreement, and Orlowsky agrees to such assignment and assumption;

     WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company
reviewed the compensation arrangements set forth in the Prior Agreement with Orlowsky and the
parties amended the Prior Agreement, through the execution of an Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement as of November 4, 2008 (the “Amended Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, the parties determined that certain amendments to the Amended Agreement were
necessary to make the calculation of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit (as defined herein)
consistent with the terms of the Benefit Equalization Plan (as defined herein); and

     WHEREAS, the parties intend that this Agreement shall supersede and replace the Amended
Agreement and become effective as of January 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) and that the terms and
conditions of the Prior Agreement shall remain in full force and effect through December 31, 2008.

 

 

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set forth in this
Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, as of
the Effective Date the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. EMPLOYMENT. The Company agrees to employ Orlowsky and Orlowsky agrees to be
employed by the Company, as Chief Executive Officer and President, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth. Orlowsky also shall serve as Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of the Company.

     2. TERM. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions for termination
hereinafter set forth, the employment of Orlowsky hereunder shall extend from the date hereof
through December 31, 2010.

     3. DUTIES. Orlowsky will devote his full time, attention and energies to the business
of the Company in his capacities as Chief Executive Officer and President and as Chairman and
member of the Board, and shall faithfully and diligently discharge his duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement, using his best efforts to implement the policies and decisions established by
the Board, provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Paragraph 3 shall be
construed as preventing Orlowsky from performing services on behalf of charitable, public service
or community organizations, as long as the same are not inconsistent with his obligations under
this Agreement. Furthermore, nothing herein contained shall restrict or prevent Orlowsky from
personally, for his own account or for the account of his immediate family, trading in stocks,
bonds, securities, real estate or other forms of investment so long as such investment activities
do not interfere with Orlowsky’s attention to or performance of his duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement and such investment activities are performed in accordance with applicable
law.

     4. COMPENSATION:

          (a) Base Salary. As of the Effective Date, Orlowsky’s annual base salary, payable in
accordance with the Company’s prevailing payroll practices, shall be $1,200,000 (“Base Salary”).
From time to time throughout the term of this Agreement, said Base Salary may be increased by the
Committee and all references to Base Salary herein shall mean such Base Salary as so increased.

          (b) Annual Bonus. For fiscal years 2009 and 2010, Orlowsky’s annual cash bonus
compensation shall be set at a target level of not less than $2,500,000 (the “Annual Bonus”) for
each such fiscal year. The Annual Bonus will be administered by the Committee and will be based
upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Committee pursuant to the Lorillard,
Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, adopted as of May 5, 2008 (the “Plan”), as the Plan may be
amended, or any successor plan. Such Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid not later than March 15
immediately following the close of the prior fiscal year performance period and the Committee’s
determination regarding achievement of the performance goals. It is the intention of the parties
that such Annual Bonus shall constitute “performance based compensation” pursuant to Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such Annual Bonus shall be subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan.

          (c) Equity Award. Orlowsky shall be eligible to participate in such annual and
long-term equity awards in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as administered by the Committee,
provided to the Company’s senior executives and shall be awarded such equity awards with an

2

 

expected value as of the date of grant, as estimated by the Committee, of not less than
$4,000,000 (“Equity Award”) for each Plan year there is such an award. Such Equity Award shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

     5. OTHER BENEFITS.

          (a) Employee Benefits. The Company will provide Orlowsky during the term of this
Agreement with other employee benefits in the aggregate not less favorable than those then being
received generally by other executive employees of the Company.

          (b) Supplemental Retirement Benefit. In addition to the retirement benefits Orlowsky
is otherwise entitled to receive, Orlowsky shall receive a Supplemental Retirement Benefit (the
“Supplemental Retirement Benefit”) payable under Section 1.2 of the Lorillard Tobacco Company
Benefit Equalization Plan (the “Benefit Equalization Plan”) as follows:

          i. Amount. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be an amount determined as if
it were a retirement allowance in accordance with Section 4.01(b)(2) of the Retirement Plan for
Employees of Lorillard Tobacco Company (the “Retirement Plan”) as in effect on January 1, 2005,
based upon the following Credited Service and Compensation, as such terms are used in the
Retirement Plan:

	 	(A)	 	Credited Service shall be fixed at 30 years minus the amount of
Credited Service for Orlowsky under the Retirement Plan.

	 
	 	(B)	 	Compensation shall mean $2,200,000.

          ii. Vesting. The Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be deemed earned and payable
only in the event that Orlowsky serves as an executive officer of the Company through December
31, 2009, unless such employment is earlier terminated due to his death or Disability (as
defined below) or is earlier terminated by the Company without cause pursuant to Paragraph 7, in
which case the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be deemed earned and payable commencing on
such termination.

“Disability” means a period of medically determined physical or mental impairment that is
expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than
twelve (12) months during which Orlowsky qualifies for income replacement benefits under the
Company’s long-term disability plan for at least three (3) months; or, if Orlowsky does not
participate in such a plan, a period of disability during which Orlowsky is unable to engage in
any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determined physical or mental
impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous
period of not less than twelve (12) months.

          iii. Payment. Subject to Paragraph 20, Orlowsky, or his beneficiary, shall receive
the Supplemental Retirement Benefit in a lump sum on a date selected by the Company (but in no
event earlier than ninety (90) days or later than one hundred twenty (120) days) following the
earliest to occur of the following (all terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms under Code Section 409A and any Treasury Regulations or other guidance issued
thereunder): (i) Orlowsky’s separation from service or (ii) Orlowsky’s death. The amount of the
lump sum payment of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be determined using the method for
computing lump sums in effect under Section 3.5(d) of the

3

 

Benefit Equalization Plan.

          iv. Unfunded Benefit. The Company shall make no provision for the funding of the
Supplemental Retirement Benefit. In the event the Company shall decide to establish an accrual
or reserve on its books against the future expense of the Supplemental Retirement Benefit, such
reserve shall not under any circumstances be deemed security for the payment of the Supplemental
Retirement Benefit but, at all times, shall remain general assets of the Company, subject to
claims of the Company’s creditors. The Company shall have no obligation to insure or otherwise
secure the Supplemental Retirement Benefit which may be payable hereunder. The Supplemental
Retirement Benefit shall not be deemed compensation for the purpose of any employee benefit plan
in which Orlowsky may participate including, without limitation, the Retirement Plan and the
Benefit Equalization Plan.

          (c) Benefit Equalization Plan. For all purposes of determining the Supplemental
Benefit under Section 1.12 of the Benefit Equalization Plan, total compensation shall mean
$2,200,000.

     6. TERMINATION BY COMPANY FOR CAUSE. At any time during the term of this Agreement,
the Company shall have the right, upon giving Orlowsky not less than thirty (30) days advance
written notice, to terminate the employment of Orlowsky if:

          (a) Orlowsky commits any malfeasance in office or other similar violation of his duties and
responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement;

          (b) Orlowsky violates express instructions or specific policy of the Board materially
affecting the business of the Company, of which violation the Board has given Orlowsky not less
than thirty (30) days advance written notice; or

          (c) Orlowsky commits any unlawful act which, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, harms
the reputation of the Company or otherwise causes significant injury to the Company.

          Any such termination as shall occur pursuant to any section of this Paragraph 6 shall be
deemed to be a termination “for cause.” Upon any such termination “for cause,” all obligations of
the Company to Orlowsky hereunder shall terminate.

     7. TERMINATION BY COMPANY WITHOUT CAUSE.

          (a) The Company may at any time terminate Orlowsky’s employment without cause for any reason
it deems appropriate or for no reason by giving Orlowsky not less than thirty (30) days advance
written notice. Upon any such termination by the Company for reasons other than “for cause,” all
obligations hereunder of the Company will terminate, except as provided in Paragraph 7(b) below and
except with respect to any retirement or other employee benefits to which Orlowsky may otherwise be
entitled.

          (b) Subject to Paragraph 20, any termination of this Agreement by the Company without cause
pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) above shall not, however, affect the Company’s obligation to continue
the Base Salary and Annual Bonus payments pursuant to Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) for the remainder of
the employment term described in Paragraph 2. Furthermore, in the event of the termination of
Orlowsky without cause, Orlowsky shall have no duty to mitigate his damages, and the Company shall
have no right of offset with regard to any compensation Orlowsky may earn subsequent to such
termination.

4

 

     8. TERMINATION BY REASON OF DEATH. In the event Orlowsky dies during the term of this
Agreement, in addition to the proceeds of any life insurance or other Company employee benefits to
which his widow may be entitled, the Company shall pay to Orlowsky’s widow, if she survives, the
prorated Base Salary in effect at the time of his death for a period of six (6) months after his
death.

     9. TERMINATION BY ORLOWSKY. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Orlowsky
may terminate his employment voluntarily for any reason or for no reason upon giving the Company
not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice. Upon any such voluntary termination, all
obligations of the Company to Orlowsky hereunder shall terminate, except that in the event that
Orlowsky retires on a Retirement Date (as set forth in the Retirement Plan) immediately following
such termination on or after December 31, 2009, the provisions of Paragraph 5(b) shall remain in
effect to the extent applicable.

     10. CONFIDENTIALITY. After termination of Orlowsky’s employment for any reason,
Orlowsky shall hold in confidence all confidential and/or proprietary information, knowledge,
know-how, trade secrets, and similar matters and property of the Company, and shall not directly or
indirectly disclose or make use of any such confidential information.

     11. NON-COMPETITION. Orlowsky covenants and agrees that for a period of three (3)
years after the termination of his employment, for whatever reason, he will not, without the
written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, engage in or be involved in any way with a
“competitive business.” “Competitive business,” as used in this Agreement, includes any business or
activity, wherever conducted in the Continental United States, which is engaged in the manufacture,
sale and distribution of cigarettes intended for sale and use in the domestic United States
cigarette market.

     12. NON-SOLICITATION. Orlowsky agrees that for a period of three (3) years following
the termination of his employment under this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, he will not,
directly or indirectly: (i) employ, hire or cause to be employed or hired any person who is
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an executive or key managerial employee on
the termination date of such employment or was so employed within one (1) year prior to
termination; or (ii) cause, invite, solicit, entice or induce any such person to terminate his
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     13. REASONABLENESS OF SCOPE AND DURATION. The parties hereto agree that the covenants
and agreements set forth in Paragraphs 11 and 12 are reasonable in their time, territory and scope,
and they intend that they be enforced, and no party shall raise any objection to the reasonableness
of the time, territory or scope of any such covenants in any proceeding to enforce such covenants.

     14. REMEDIES. It is agreed that the remedies at law for any breach of this Agreement
on the part of Orlowsky would be inadequate and that in the event of any such breach the Company
shall be entitled to seek to enjoin the same in the Superior Court of Guilford County, North
Carolina, or such other court which may have competent jurisdiction over the matter in dispute.

     15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. If any controversy or claim between the parties hereto arises
out of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or as mutually
agreed between the parties hereto, such disagreement or dispute shall be submitted to

5

 

binding arbitration in Greensboro, North Carolina, under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that if, pursuant to Paragraph 14 above, the
Company seeks the remedy of an injunction against Orlowsky for breach of this Agreement, this
remedy shall be pursued in the Superior Court of Guilford County, North Carolina, or such other
Court which may have competent jurisdiction over the matter in dispute, and such proceeding and
issues shall not be subject to arbitration under this Paragraph 15.

     16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

          (a) Lorillard Tobacco hereby assigns its rights and obligations under the Prior Agreement to
the Company, and the Company assumes all of the rights and obligations under the Prior Agreement.
Orlowsky acknowledges and consents to such assignment to and assumption by the Company.

          (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its
respective successors and assigns. The Company will require any successor to it (whether direct or
indirect, by stock or asset purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) or of all or
substantially all of its business or more than fifty percent (50%) of its assets, to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Company
would be required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had taken place.

     17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This instrument contains the entire agreement of the parties
relating to the subject of employment; supersedes and replaces in its entirety any existing
employment agreement of Orlowsky, including but not limited to the Amended Agreement upon execution
of the Agreement and the Prior Agreement as of the Effective Date; and may not be waived, changed,
modified, extended or discharged orally, except by agreement in writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought. The
waiver or forbearance by the Company or by Orlowsky of a breach of any provision of this Agreement
by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver or forbearance of any subsequent
breach by that other party.

     18. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall
be deemed properly given in writing and if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid
with return receipt requested, to the business address of the Company, to the attention of the Vice
President, General Counsel, and to the residence address of Orlowsky, or to such other address as a
party is directed pursuant to written notice from the other party.

     19. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, such will not adversely affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to have been deleted and
omitted from the Agreement.

     20. CODE SECTION 409A. Certain provisions of this Agreement are intended to provide
for the deferral of compensation in accordance with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations and
published guidance issued pursuant thereto. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed in a
manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A and may at any time be amended in the
manner and to the extent determined necessary or desirable by the Company to reflect or otherwise
facilitate compliance with such provisions with respect to amounts deferred on or after January 1,
2005. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, no otherwise permissible
election or distribution shall be made or given effect under this Agreement that

6

 

would result in income inclusion, interest and an excise tax under Section 409A. In the event of
any dispute between the Company and Orlowsky regarding the interpretation of Section 409A, the
Company’s interpretation shall control in all cases for purposes of this Agreement.

If, at the time of Orlowsky’s separation from service, Orlowsky is deemed to be “specified
employee” of a public company as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i), deferred
compensation benefits to which Orlowsky is entitled under any provision of this Agreement that are
payable on account of Orlowsky’s separation from service shall not be paid until six (6) months
following Orlowsky’s separation from service. Such amounts shall accrue interest at the rate
provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B) and shall be paid to Orlowsky on the first payroll date in
the seventh month following Orlowsky’s separation from service or, if earlier, promptly following
Orlowsky’s death.

     21. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of North Carolina without reference to the principles of conflict of
laws, except that a covenant of good faith and fair dealing shall apply with respect to all
obligations created under this Agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Amended and Restated Employment
Agreement on this 19th day of December, 2008.
