	ARTICLE II  
	 	THE LOANS

Section 2.01

	 	

Commitments and Loans.
	 	 	
 
	 	 

(a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower on the Closing Date and
from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that
will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment;
provided that on the Closing Date the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans
shall not exceed $15,000,000. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b) Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender
severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not
exceeding such Lender’s Term Commitment. Amounts repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be
reborrowed.

(c) Incremental Loans. At any time and from time to time, the Borrower may request
that the Lenders (or other financial institutions agreed to by the Borrower and reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the consent of the Administrative Agent in respect thereof
not to be unreasonably withheld) offer to enter into commitments to (x) make additional term loans
(each such loan being herein called an “Incremental Term Loan”) and/or (y) provide
additional revolving credit commitments in the form of an increase in the amount of Revolving
Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”), in each case, under
this paragraph (c). In the event that one or more of the Lenders (or such other financial
institutions) offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders (or
financial institutions) and the Borrower agree as to the amount of such commitments that shall be
allocated to the respective Lenders (or financial institutions) making such offers and the fees (if
any) to be payable by the Borrower in connection therewith, such Lenders (or financial
institutions) shall become obligated to make Incremental Term Loans or provide Revolving Commitment
Increases, as applicable, under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective
Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Additional Revolving Commitments, as applicable (and such
financial institutions shall become (x) “Incremental Term Loan Lenders” or (y) “Revolving
Commitment Increase Lenders” and “Revolving Lenders” hereunder). The Borrower, such Lenders (or
financial institutions) and the Administrative Agent shall enter into an amendment (each such
amendment being herein called an “Incremental Loan Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as
appropriate, the other Loan Documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. The Incremental Loan Amendment may (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section
9.02), without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness
of (and, in the case of any Incremental Loan Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan, the borrowing
under) any Incremental Loan Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of
each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and such other conditions as the parties thereto
shall agree. The Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Loan Amendment
between the Borrower and one or more Lenders (including any such new Lenders) in response to any
such request by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Term Loans
for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to
obligate any Lender to provide any Incremental Term Loan Commitment or any Revolving Commitment
Increase or to obligate the Borrower to request an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or a Revolving
Commitment Increase from any Lender. Incremental Term Loans (and extensions of credit under any
Revolving Commitment Increase) will share in the Collateral under the Security Documents and the
guarantees under the Guarantee Agreements to the same extent as each other Loan. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to
Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases:

(i) the aggregate number of separate Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to all
such requests hereunder shall not exceed five, and the minimum aggregate principal amount of
Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series entered into pursuant to any single such
request (and, accordingly, the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans
of such Series) shall be at least equal to $5,000,000;

(ii) the aggregate number of separate Revolving Commitment Increases pursuant to all
such requests hereunder shall not exceed two, and the minimum aggregate principal amount of
any such Revolving Commitment Increase entered into pursuant to any single such request
shall be at least equal to $5,000,000;

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments and all
outstanding Series of Incremental Term Loans (including any increase in Term Loans as
provided in clause (viii) below) shall not exceed $50,000,000 (and once such limit is
reached, no further Incremental Term Loan Commitments may be established hereunder
notwithstanding that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Incremental Term Loans
shall have subsequently been reduced below such limit);

(iv) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed
$10,000,000;

(v) the maturity date for the Incremental Term Loans of any Series as specified in the
Incremental Loan Amendment for such Series shall not be earlier than the Term Maturity Date;

(vi) the weighted average life to maturity of the Incremental Term Loans of any Series
shall not be shorter than that of the Term Loans;

(vii) in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, such Revolving Commitment
Increase shall be on the same terms and conditions as the Revolving Facility (and be deemed
to be added to, and made part of, the Revolving Facility);

(viii) any Series of Incremental Term Loans may be effected through an increase in the
Term Loans, in which case (v) any Incremental Term Loan Lender not already a Term Lender
hereunder shall become a Term Lender, (w) the Applicable Rate for such Incremental Term
Loans shall be the Applicable Rate for Term Loans in effect at the time the respective
Incremental Loan Amendment is executed, (x) anything in Section 2.18(c) to the contrary
notwithstanding, the initial Term Loans made under the respective Incremental Loan Amendment
shall be made solely by the Incremental Term Loan Lenders executing such Incremental Loan
Amendment (but thereafter the provisions of Section 2.18(c) shall be applicable), (y) the
initial Term Loans made under such Incremental Loan Amendment shall be either ABR Loans or
Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period ending on the last day of the earliest expiring
then-outstanding Interest Period for Term Loans (so long as the same is at least one month
after the date such Incremental Term Loans are made) and (z) as promptly as practicable
following the making of such Incremental Term Loans (but in any event not later than the
last day of such earliest-expiring then-outstanding Interest Period for Term Loans), such
Incremental Term Loans shall be coordinated with all other Term Loans so that all
outstanding Term Loans (including the portion thereof represented by Incremental Term Loans)
of each Type are allocated ratably among the Term Lenders (including any Incremental Term
Loan Lenders that have become Term Lenders) as required by Section 2.18(c);

(ix) the Applicable Rate with respect to Terms Loans (including any Incremental Term
Loans deemed an increase to the Term Loans) that are in existence on the date of each
request for an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be increased
pursuant to mark-to-market procedures set forth at the end of the definition of Applicable
Rate, to the extent applicable;

(x) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental
Loan Amendment and the borrowing of any Incremental Term Loans thereunder (if applicable),
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (it being agreed,
however, that the Administrative Agent and any Lender providing Incremental Term Loans or
Revolving Commitment Increases may rely for all purposes of this Section 2.01(c) on a
certificate of the Borrower to the effect that this condition is satisfied); and

(xi) upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Amendment and the borrowing of any
Incremental Term Loans thereunder (if applicable), the Borrower shall be in compliance, on a
pro forma basis with Sections 6.12(b) and 6.12(c) (assuming that the Total Leverage Ratio
and the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in Sections 6.12(b) and 6.12(c),
respectively, were 0.50x lower than the then-applicable ratios set forth in Sections 6.12(b)
and 6.12(c), respectively), in each case recomputed as of the last day of the most recently
ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available or
required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 (determined after giving effect to
any amounts to be drawn under the Revolving Facility immediately after giving effect to any
Revolving Commitment Increase) and giving pro forma effect to any Permitted Acquisitions
(including giving pro forma effect to any Permitted Cost-Savings) to be financed by such
incurrence, or consummated after the referenced four-fiscal quarter period but before such
incurrence.

Following the acceptance by the Borrower of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make
any Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c),
each Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Term Loans severally
agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make such Incremental Term Loans
to the Borrower during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including
the commitment termination date specified in the Incremental Loan Amendment entered into with
respect to such Series in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the
Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of such Series as
in effect from time to time. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Borrower may convert Incremental Term Loans of such Series of one Type into Incremental Term Loans
of such Series of another Type (as provided in Section 2.07) or continue Incremental Term Loans of
such Series of one Type as Incremental Term Loans of such Series of the same Type (as provided in
Section 2.07). Incremental Term Loans of any Series that are prepaid may not be reborrowed as
Incremental Term Loans of the same Series.

Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, each Revolving
Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to
have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a
“Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such
Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have
assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of
Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and
assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (i) participations
hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each
Revolving Lender (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage and (b) if, on the date of such increase, there are any
Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such
Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made
hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any
Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that
the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in
this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence.

Proceeds of Incremental Term Loans and extensions of credit under any Revolving Commitment
Increase shall be available for any use permitted under the applicable provisions of Section 5.11.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan of a particular Class (and, in the case of
Incremental Term Loans, of a particular Series) (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part
of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of such Class (and, if applicable, of such Series) made by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class (and, if applicable,
of such Series). The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the
Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans
as required.

(b) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Loan Borrowing and each
Term Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurodollar Loans, in each case
as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each
Lender at its option may 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.

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $2,000,000. Each Revolving Borrowing shall
be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000;
provided that each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be subject to the provisions of the
immediately preceding sentence. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral
multiple of $100,000 and not less than $200,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be
outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a
total of fifteen Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Limitations on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any
Eurodollar Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Term
Maturity Date or the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, as applicable. In addition, the Borrower shall
not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Loan into a Eurodollar
Borrowing until the date one week after the Closing Date.

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Loan Borrowing or a Term
Loan 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 the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed
Borrowing, provided that any such notice of a Revolving Loan Borrowing to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy
(or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing
Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Revolving Loan Borrowing, a Term Loan
Borrowing or an Incremental Term Loan Borrowing (including, if applicable, the respective
Series of Incremental Term Loans to which such Borrowing relates);

	 	 	 
	(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

	 	the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

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

whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or ABR Borrowing;

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

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified for a Revolving Loan, a Term Loan or
an Incremental Term Loan, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly
following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Types and (if applicable)
durations of Interest Periods for the initial Borrowings hereunder shall be as specified in the
Borrowing Request delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(r).

Section 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $7,500,000 or (ii) the sum of the total
Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans, provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a
Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy (or by electronic communication, if arrangements for
doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent)), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline
Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice
received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting such amount, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated
by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to
the LC Issuer) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire
participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will
participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall
comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section
2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from
the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in
any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a
sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such
amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent
to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the
Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan
pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.05 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may
request the issuance of standby and, if available from the LC Issuer, commercial Letters of Credit
for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and any LC Issuer,
at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or
entered into by the Borrower with, an LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication,
if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective LC Issuer) to an LC Issuer
selected by it and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit,
or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount
of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other
information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If
requested by the respective LC Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit
application on such LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of
Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
(i) the total Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments and (ii) the
total LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (1) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (2) the date that is three Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date, provided any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for
additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date three Business Days
prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date).

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

(e) Reimbursement. If an LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made (provided that if the Borrower is not notified prior
to 11:00 a.m. New York time of such disbursement on the date thereof, the Borrower may make such
reimbursements not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day following such LC Disbursement
provided that interest thereon is paid through such Business Day), provided that
the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance
with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline Loan
in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such
payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan Borrowing or Swingline
Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in
respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of
the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect
to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such LC
Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such LC Issuer or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such LC Issuer, then
to such Lenders and such LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving
Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than
the funding of Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a
Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement (other
than with respect to the timing of such reimbursement obligation as set forth in this paragraph).

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section and the Revolving Lenders obligations under paragraph (d)
of this Section shall each be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever
and irrespective of (1) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this
Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (2) any draft or other document presented under a
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (3) payment by the respective LC Issuer under a
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit, or (4) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the LC Issuers, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any
error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or
other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence
arising from causes beyond the control of the respective LC Issuer, provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an LC Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the
extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower
that are caused by such LC Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and
other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties
hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of an LC Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Issuer shall
be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and
without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of
Credit, an LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such
documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information
to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not
in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The respective LC Issuer shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter
of Credit. Such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such LC Issuer has made or
will make an LC Disbursement thereunder, provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Issuer and
the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the
timing of such reimbursement obligation as set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section).

(h) Interim Interest. If the respective LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower
reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Loans,
provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of such LC Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the
date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)of this Section to reimburse such
LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an LC Issuer. Any LC Issuer may be replaced and additional LC
Issuers may be added at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the replaced or existing LC Issuer and the successor or additional LC Issuer. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of such LC Issuer or the
appointment of additional LC Issuers. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor LC
Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced LC Issuer under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “LC
Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous LC Issuer, or to such
successor and all previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an LC
Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all
the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required or permitted to issue additional
Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent,
in the name of the Administrative Agent (any such account being herein called a “Letter of
Credit Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to the total LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Each deposit
into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be held by the Administrative Agent as
collateral, for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be Permitted Investments, made at the option and sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall
not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such
account and shall be the Borrower’s property held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement as described above.
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the respective LC
Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed or subject to the consent of
Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure, applied
to satisfy any delinquent obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits on account of such
amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If at any time cash
collateral provided by the Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section
2.05(j) exceeds the LC Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon then, provided that no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such excess amount shall be returned to the
Borrower within three Business Days after the Borrower’s written request therefor.

Section 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than 11:00
a.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as
provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower
by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, provided that ABR Revolving
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall
be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the LC Issuer.

(b) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such
amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to
fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by any such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its Commitments
hereunder).

Section 2.07 Interest Elections.

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

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (1) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon New York City time, three Business Days before the effective
date of the election, or (2) in the case of an ABR Borrowing not later than 12:00 noon New York
City time, one Business Day before the effective date of the election. Each such telephonic
Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy (or by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Content of Notices. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02 and paragraph (f) of this
Section:

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e) Certain Presumptions of Elections. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely
Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing, which delivery is prior to the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the
Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing no outstanding Revolving Loan
Borrowing or Term Loan Borrowing, as applicable, may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and, unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f) A Borrowing of any Class may not be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing if
after giving effect thereto (i) the Interest Period therefor would commence before and end after a
date on which any principal of the Loans of such Class is scheduled to be repaid and (ii) the sum
of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings of such Class with Interest
Periods ending on or prior to such scheduled repayment date plus the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class would be less than the aggregate principal amount of Loans
of such Class required to be repaid on such scheduled repayment date.

Section 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Loan
Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, (ii) if not
sooner terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
and (iii) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment of any Series shall terminate on the applicable
commitment termination date for such Series specified in the Incremental Loan Amendment for such
Series.

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or
from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) each reduction of
the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $2,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments
if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with
Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(c) Notice of Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction
(or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may choose to accept in its sole discretion),
specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice,
the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by
the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that the Borrower may
rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments if such termination
would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be
consummated or otherwise shall be delayed. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving
Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably
among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

Section 2.09 Evidence of Debt.

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

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

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

(d) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be
evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to
such Lender a promissory note (each a “Note”) payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of
Exhibit F hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes in
such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note,
to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans.

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

(b) Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of the Term Lenders, on the last
day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last day of March 2011, an
aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans
outstanding on the Closing Date, (ii) for the account of each Term Lender the principal amount of
the Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date and (iii) for the account of each Incremental Term Loan
Lender of any Series the principal amount of the Incremental Term Loans of such Series held by such
Lender on the maturity date therefor set forth in the respective Incremental Loan Amendment for
such Series and such other amounts on such dates specified in the applicable Incremental Loan
Amendment in compliance with the terms of Section 2.01(c).

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from
time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part (without premium or penalty, except as
provided in Section 2.16), subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment upon Prepayment Events. In the event that and on each
occasion on which any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after
such Net Proceeds are received (or such later period after which the receipt thereof constitutes a
prepayment event), prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds, in accordance
with Section 2.11(h), provided that,

(i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the case of any
event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, no mandatory
prepayments in respect of any such event shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)
(A) in any single fiscal year until the date on which the Net Proceeds required to be
applied as mandatory prepayments in the absence of this proviso equals or exceeds $5,000,000
for such fiscal year and (B) for any Net Proceeds received from the sale, transfer of other
disposition of any property or asset of any Loan Party with a fair market value not to
exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate and which does not result in a reduction of Adjusted
EBITDA by more than $1,000,000 after giving pro forma effect thereto; provided that
the Borrower designate that such Net Proceeds are being used pursuant to this clause (B) and
provide a calculation thereof demonstrating compliance with this clause (B) in the next
quarterly Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent under Section 5.01;
and

(ii) in the case of any event described in clause (c) of the definition of the term
Prepayment Event, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of
a Financial Officer to the effect that the Borrower and the Subsidiaries intend to apply the
Net Proceeds from such event within 60 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds as permitted
in the definition of Permitted Additional Indebtedness, and certifying that no Default has
occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph
in respect of such event except to the extent of any Net Proceeds therefrom that have not
been so applied by the end of such 60-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be
required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.

In addition, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans in accordance with Section
2.11(h) by an amount equal to any amount that would otherwise constitute amounts that are required
by the terms of the documents governing or evidencing any Permitted Additional Indebtedness to be
applied to the prepayment of such Indebtedness.

(c) Mandatory Prepayment upon Dividend Suspension Period. The Borrower shall prepay
the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11(h) within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of
the Borrower ending during any Dividend Suspension Period, in an aggregate amount equal to any
excess of (i) 50% of any increase in Cumulative Distributable Cash of the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries during such fiscal quarter over (ii) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments
of Term Loans during such fiscal quarter to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the
proceeds of Indebtedness.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment of Excess Cash Flow. The Borrower shall prepay the Loans in
accordance with Section 2.11(h) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower
commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2011, in an aggregate amount equal to any
excess of (i) the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of (a) any increase in Cumulative Distributable
Cash of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries during such fiscal year (it being understood that the
determination of the amount referred to in clause (b) of the definition of “Cumulative
Distributable Cash” in Section 1.01 shall not be deemed to be an increase in Cumulative
Distributable Cash and shall be disregarded for purposes hereof) minus (b) the aggregate amount of
prepayments (if any) of Term Loans made during such period or such fiscal year, as applicable,
pursuant to paragraph (c) above over (ii) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of Term
Loans during such fiscal year to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of
Indebtedness.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Loans. In the event that and on each occasion
on which the sum of the Revolving Exposures exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower
shall prepay Revolving Borrowings, Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements and cash collateralize
outstanding Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (it being understood
that, in order to comply with this clause (f), the Borrower shall prepay all such Revolving Loans,
Swingline Loans and LC Disbursements prior to any cash collateralization of LC Exposure hereunder).

(g) Repricing Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
2.11, (i) any prepayment of the Term Loans effected on or prior to the first anniversary of the
Closing Date with the proceeds of a Repricing Transaction described in clause (a) of the definition
thereof shall be accompanied by a fee equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term Loans
prepaid, unless such fee is waived by the applicable Lender and (ii) if in connection with a
Repricing Transaction described in clause (b) of the definition thereof on or prior to such first
anniversary of the Closing Date, any Lender is replaced as a result of its being a non-consenting
Lender in respect of such Repricing Transaction pursuant to Section 2.19(b), such Lender shall be
entitled to the fee provided under this Section 2.11(g) as to its Term Loans so assigned (unless
such fee is waived by the applicable Lender). A “Repricing Transaction” means any
prepayment of the Term Loans using proceeds of Indebtedness incurred by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party from a substantially concurrent incurrence of syndicated term loans for which the
interest rate payable thereon on the date of such prepayment is lower than the Adjusted LIBO Rate
on the date of such prepayment plus the Applicable Margin with respect to the Term Loans on the
date of such prepayment, provided that the primary purpose of such prepayment is to refinance Term
Loans at a lower interest rate or (b) any repricing of the Term Loans pursuant to an amendment
hereto resulting in the interest rate payable thereon on the date of such amendment being lower
than the Adjusted LIBO Rate on the date of such prepayment plus the Applicable Margin with respect
to the Term Loans on the date of such prepayment.

(h) Notices of Prepayment, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent
(and, in the case of a prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy (or by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, as applicable)) of any voluntary
prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of
prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day
before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later
than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment (or, in each case, such shorter
period of notice as the Administrative Agent may choose to accept in its sole discretion). The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy (or by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative
Agent)) of any mandatory prepayment hereunder not less than three Business Days before the date of
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory
prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of
any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the
required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably
to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above, the Borrower may rescind any notice of any voluntary prepayment if such prepayment
would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be
consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

(i) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any prepayment of Loans required to be made
in any amount (the “Required Prepayment Amount”) pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of
Section 2.11 shall be applied as follows:

First, to the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, ratably in accordance with the
respective principal amounts thereof, until the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans are
fully repaid; and

Second, the balance of the Required Prepayment Amount shall be applied to the Revolving
Loans, the unpaid LC Disbursements and the Swingline Exposure and to cash collateralize
outstanding Letters of Credit, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof,
except that (i) until the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been paid in full, the
portion thereof that would otherwise be applied to the unpaid LC Disbursements and to cash
collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit shall instead be applied ratably to Revolving
Loans and Swingline Loans and (ii) any application of any Required Prepayment Amount to
Revolving Loans, unpaid LC Disbursements or Swingline Exposure or to cash collateralize
outstanding Letters of Credit shall be without reduction of Revolving Commitments (unless
otherwise elected by the Borrower in a notice delivered at the time of such prepayment
pursuant to Section 2.08).

(j) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to clause (l) below, any prepayment of
Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower in its notice
thereof.

(k) Prepayments of Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall be applied
first to ABR Loans and second to Eurodollar Loans (applied to Eurodollar Loans with Interest
Periods in the order in which the respective Interest Periods therefor shall end). Each prepayment
of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 (other than prepayments of Revolving Loans that are ABR
Loans prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period) shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the principal amount paid to but excluding the date of payment and any amounts payable
under Section 2.16 as a result of such prepayment.

(l) Application of Prepayments of Loans. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans, the Term Loans or the
Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of any Series, as
applicable, then held by Revolving Lenders, Term Loan Lenders or the applicable Incremental Term
Loan Lenders, as applicable. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans or the
Incremental Term Loans of any Series made pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.11(c) and 2.11(d) shall
be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Term Loans or such Incremental Term
Loans, as applicable, pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
account of the Revolving Lenders, a commitment fee, which shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date for Revolving ABR Loans, calculated at the rate of 0.625% per
annum on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Commitments (for which purposes any
outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be usage of the Revolving Commitments and the
Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded).

(b) Participation Fee; Fronting Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to
its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate
for Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to the respective LC Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of
0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing
Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the
date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s standard fees with
respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of
drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last
day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day
following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date,
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate
shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any LC Issuer pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

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

(d) Payments of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective LC Issuer, in the
case of fees payable to it) for distribution, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not
be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) ABR Loans. (i) All Swingline Loans and (ii) the Revolving Loans, Term Loans or
Incremental Term Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. The Revolving Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans
comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Post Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, automatically if any Event
of Default pursuant to clause (h) or (i) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing, or
upon written notice by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower if any
other Event of Default (including if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other
amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon
acceleration or otherwise) shall have occurred and be continuing (which notice shall have
retroactive effect to the date of such Event of Default), all overdue amounts hereunder shall bear
interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue
principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the
rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination
of the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan (other than prepayments of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans prior to the end of the
Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be
payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such
Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and (iv) if an Interest Payment Date
is not a Business Day, the applicable interest payment will be due the next following Business Day
unless such next succeeding Business Day would fall in the next calendar month, in which case such
interest payment will be due on the next preceding Business Day.

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

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest.

Eurodollar Borrowings. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that dollar deposits in the
London interbank market are not available in the amount of such Eurodollar Borrowing for such
Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the affected Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR
Borrowing.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or any LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other
material condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurodollar Loan)
or to increase the cost to such Lender or such LC Issuer of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender or such LC Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case by
an amount deemed material by such Lender or LC Issuer, then in accordance with clause (c) below,
the Borrower will pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any LC Issuer determines that any Change in
Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s
holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or the
participation in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such LC
Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such LC Issuer or such Lender’s or such LC
Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), in each case by an amount deemed material by
such Lender or such LC Issuer, then in accordance with clause (c) below, the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or such LC Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such LC Issuer or such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

(c) Certificates of Lender. If any Lender or LC Issuer becomes entitled to claim any
additional amounts pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, it shall promptly notify the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled. A certificate of a Lender or an LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender, such LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified
in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or such LC Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Request for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or
any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an LC Issuer pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or
such LC Issuer notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal
of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant
hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then,
in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan
had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. In addition, the Loan Parties shall
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuer, within 20 Business Days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or
on account of any obligation of any 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 (other than those resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Administrative Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer), 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 an LC Issuer, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
or an LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by any 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.

(e) Foreign Lenders. (i) Each Lender and LC Issuer that is not a “United States
person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under
the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed
originals of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and
entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to
such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor
thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax,
including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time,
each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly
completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from
time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then
current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United
States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take
such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to
avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for
taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account
with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan
Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account
with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be
necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be
provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or
payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S.
withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor
thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any
other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender
is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such
Lender.

(iii) The Borrower and each Loan Party shall not be required to pay any additional amount to
any Foreign Lender (A) with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis
of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an IRS Form
W-8IMY pursuant to this Section 2.17 or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.17(e); provided that if such Lender shall have
satisfied the requirement of this Section 2.17(e) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased
to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in
this Section 2.17(e) shall relieve the Borrower or any Loan Party of its obligation to pay any
amounts pursuant to Section 2.17 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable
law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation,
administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,
certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other
Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan
Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(iv) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Taxes required to be
deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the
Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this Section 2.17(e).

(f) Domestic Lenders. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
LC Issuer that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a
“Domestic Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent two duly signed completed
originals of IRS Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative
Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable
back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, without reduction.

(g) Indemnification for Withholding Taxes. If any Governmental Authority asserts that
the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax
or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and
expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The
obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(h) Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or former Lender) determines,
in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan
Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to such
Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such
Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender) and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender), agrees to repay the amount paid over to
such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender) in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender) is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(i) FATCA. Each Lender shall promptly provide, upon reasonable request from the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any additional information that the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent needs in order for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the
amount of any applicable withholding taxes, including information relating to compliance with
Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder and any interpretation
or other guidance issued in connection therewith.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made
by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or
reimbursement of LC Disbursements or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or
otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for
such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time),
on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts
received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed
to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park
Avenue, New York, New York 10017, except for payments to be made directly to the respective LC
Issuer or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein, and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and
payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other
Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any
Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan
Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are
received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds
shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees and other amounts then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees and other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and all unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such
parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each
Borrowing of a particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall
be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fees under Section 2.12 shall be made
for account of the relevant Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the
Commitments of a particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans)
under Section 2.08 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant
Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each
Borrowing of any Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be
allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective
Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such
Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of
Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal of Loans of a particular
Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be made for account of the
relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans
of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment by the Borrower of interest on Loans of a
particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be made for
account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans
then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

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

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

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

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of New Lending Office. Prior to any Lender requesting compensation
under Section 2.15, or the Borrower paying any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts (to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s applicable legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or
to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates,
if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, and (ii) would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15,
or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, or if any Lender shall decline to consent to any modification or waiver hereunder requiring
100% of the Lenders affected thereby (or of an affected Class or of the type set forth in clauses
(i) through (vii) of Section 9.02(b)) to consent thereto and, in each case, the Required Lenders
have already consented thereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each LC Issuer and the
Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (ii) such Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and
participations (to the extent funded by such Lender and not subsequently repaid) in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Upon receipt by the applicable Lender of
all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.19(b), the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption on
behalf of such Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative
Agent and the assignee shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.19(b) and Section 9.04. A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply
for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) Commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment
of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any
action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to

extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) the principal amount of, or
interest or fees payable on, Loans or LC Exposures may not be reduced or excused and the scheduled
date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s
consent;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Swingline Exposure
and LC Exposure shall be automatically reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,

collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Article VII for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees
to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash
collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause
(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section
2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable
Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither

prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuers or any other Lender hereunder, all
letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure shall be payable to the relevant LC Issuer(s) until and to the extent that such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any
Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the
Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower
in accordance with Section 2.05(j), and participating interests in any such newly issued or

participate therein); and

(e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(d) but excluding Section 2.19(b)) shall, in lieu of
being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a

times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to
the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer or Swingline Lender
hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an LC Issuer
or Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the
Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan
or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in
respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Lenders or an LC Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such LC Issuer or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement,
(vii) seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to
such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;, provided,
with respect to this clause (viii), that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal
amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting
Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of,
and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied
to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

(f) If at any time cash collateral provided by the Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.20(c)(ii) exceeds the amount of cash collateral required pursuant to such
section then, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such excess amount
shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after the Borrower’s written request
therefor.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each relevant LC Issuer and the
Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Lenders’ Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure
shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such
Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline
Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to
hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

ARTICLE III   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each of the Parent and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

Section 3.01 Organization; Powers. The Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of their
organization, respectively, have all requisite power and authority to carry on their respective
businesses as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and are qualified to do business in,
and are in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where
the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

Section 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by
each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate and other powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by the Parent and the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan
Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party,
will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Loan Party (as the
case may be), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the
enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of
equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions will not violate
any applicable law or regulation or the terms of the charter, by-laws or other organizational
documents of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or the terms of any of the
Authorizations, or any order of any Governmental Authority, in each case, in any material respect.
Except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Transactions
(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by
or before, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in
full force and effect, and (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents
and (b) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument
binding upon the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their assets, or give
rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Parent, the Borrower or any of
the Subsidiaries. The Transactions will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on
any asset of the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, except Liens created under or
permitted by the Loan Documents (other than any Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(c)).

Section 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Financial Statements. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i)
audited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash
flows of the Parent and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ending on December 31 of 2007, 2008
and 2009, in each case prepared by KPMG LLP, or other independent public accountants of recognized
national standing, and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income,
stockholder’s equity and cash flows of the Parent and its subsidiaries and for each fiscal quarter
ended after December 31, 2009 and at least 45 days before the Closing Date. Such financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of
operations and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for
such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence
of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Statements. The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the
Lenders (i) the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries
as of June 30, 2010 (prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred
on the last day of such period) and (ii) the unaudited consolidated income statement (including a
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA) of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries for the period of four fiscal
quarters ended at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date. Such financial statements (i) have been
prepared in good faith based on the same assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial
statements included in the Information Memorandum (which assumptions were believed by the Borrower
to be reasonable as of the date of the Information Memorandum), (ii) were based, after due inquiry,
on the best information available to the Borrower when made, and (iii) in the case of such balance
sheet, present a good faith estimate of the pro forma financial position of the Borrower as of the
end of such period as if the Transactions had occurred on the last day of such period.

(c) Absence of Liabilities. Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred
to above or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum and except for the Disclosed
Matters, after giving effect to the Transactions, the Borrower does not have, as of the Closing
Date, any material contingent or other material liabilities, unusual material long-term commitments
or material unrealized losses.

or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes, free and clear of all Liens, other than
Liens created or permitted by any Loan Documents and (ii) each Real Property Lease is the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the applicable Loan Party thereto, enforceable against such Loan
Party in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability thereof may be limited by
applicable insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to practice, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents
and other intellectual property material to the business of the Parent, the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the conduct of the business by the Parent, the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such
infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.05(b) accurately and completely lists as of the date
hereof, all Operating Licenses granted or assigned to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries, or under which the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries will have the right to

Parties.

any of the Subsidiaries has received written notice of, or has knowledge of, any pending or
contemplated condemnation proceeding affecting any Mortgaged Property or any sale or disposition
thereof in lieu of condemnation, in either case which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

(a) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Parent or the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (i)
that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that seek to restrain the entry by any
Loan Party into, the enforcement of or exercise of any rights by the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent under, or the performance or compliance by any Loan Party with any obligations under, the
Loan Documents to which it is a party.

(b) Environmental Matters. Except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Parent, the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with

required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii)

Section 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Parent, the Borrower
and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders (including any
Environmental Law or Communications Law, the Patriot Act, margin regulations, FCC and RCA
regulations and ERISA) of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all
indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.08 Investment Company Status. Neither the Parent, 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, as amended.

Section 3.09 Taxes. Each of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has timely
filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or
caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent, the Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b)
failures to file or cause to be filed or pay or cause to be paid that could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability to any Loan Party,
any of their ERISA Affiliates or the Subsidiaries is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards No.
715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, except as could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.11 Disclosure. The Information Memorandum, as modified or supplemented by
other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender prior to the Closing Date does not contain any material misstatement of fact which makes
such information misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances
under which such information was provided nor omits to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, at such time in the light of the circumstances under which such information
was provided, not misleading in any material respect (in each case, taken as a whole),
provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents
only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time such projections were prepared, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the
projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

Section 3.12 Subsidiaries. The Parent does not as of the Closing Date have any
subsidiaries other than the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 is a complete and
correct list of the Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, together with, for each Subsidiary, (a) the
jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary, (b) each Person holding ownership interests in
such Subsidiary and (c) the nature of the ownership interests held by each such Person and the
percentage of ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such ownership interests. Except as
disclosed in Schedule 3.12, as of the Closing Date (x) except for Liens created pursuant to
the Security Documents and non-consensual Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, each of the
Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, free and clear of Liens, and has the unencumbered
right to vote (if applicable), all outstanding ownership interests in each Person shown to be held
by it in Schedule 3.12, (y) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each such
Person organized as a corporation is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (z) except as
may be disclosed on Schedule 3.12, there are no outstanding material Equity Rights with
respect to any Subsidiary.

Section 3.13 Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all
material insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as
of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been
paid. The Parent and the Borrower believe that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the
Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is adequate with respect to the business of the Parent,
the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 3.14 Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date there are no strikes, lockouts or
slowdowns against the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the
Parent and the Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the
Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in material violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such
matters. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all payments
due from the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the
Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare
insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Parent,
the Borrower or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any
right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective
bargaining agreement to which the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

Section 3.15 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to
occur on the Closing Date, as applicable, and immediately following the making of each Loan made on
the Closing Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans on the
Closing Date, the Loan Parties (taken as a whole) are Solvent.

Party and, when the portion of such Collateral constituting instruments or certificated securities
(as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) is delivered to
the Administrative Agent, such security interest shall constitute a fully perfected first priority
Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the pledgor thereunder in such
Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect
to the rights of Persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

Perfection Certificate, the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such Collateral
to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, in
each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of
Persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

(c) Intellectual Property. When the Intellectual Property Security Agreement is filed
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office within the
time period specified by applicable law, the security interests created thereunder shall constitute

Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security
interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a security agreement, financing
statement or analogous document in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United

Person, other than with respect to the rights of Persons pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by

Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on
United States patents, patent applications, registered trademarks, trademark applications and
copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the date hereof), and it being further understood
that, to the extent that the United States federal trademark, patent and copyright laws are not
applicable to the perfection of security interests, the filing of financing statements under
Section 3.16(b) shall perfect the Liens granted by the Loan Parties on such intellectual property
to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing UCC financing statements.

(d) Mortgages. When the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule
3.16(d), the Mortgages shall constitute a Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title

any Communications Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Communications Law, (b) has become subject to any Communications Liability, (c)
has received notice of any claim with respect to any Communications Liability or (d) knows of any
basis for any Communications Liability.

neither the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall, without first obtaining the
approval of the FCC and/or RCA, as applicable, take any action pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document which would constitute or result in an assignment of any Operating License held
by the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any change of control of the Parent, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary if such assignment or change in control would require, under then applicable law,
the prior approval of the FCC and/or the RCA, and voting rights in any Collateral representing
control of any license, permit or other authorization of the FCC and/or RCA shall remain in the
holder thereof authorized by the FCC and/or RCA until all such necessary consents shall have been

Borrower shall comply with the foregoing requirement as soon as practicable following such
acquisition (but in any event within 120 days after such acquisition (or such longer period as may
be agreed by the Administrative Agent, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld)).

ARTICLE VIII   THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and each LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
(and any successor Administrative Agent appointed as provided herein) as its agent and authorizes
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (and any successor Administrative Agent appointed as provided herein) to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such Person 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 any Affiliate
of any of the foregoing as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

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

(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

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

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), or as the
Administrative Agent shall in good faith believe to be necessary under the circumstances, or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by Parent, the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered 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 IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt
of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each LC
Issuer and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right,
subject to the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a
successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the
Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each LC Issuer, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an
Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting
as Administrative Agent.

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

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint
Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent and the Manager named on the cover page of this Agreement shall
have no duties or responsibilities hereunder except in their respective capacity, if any, as a
Lender.

power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision
hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement,
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Parent, the Borrower and the
Required Lenders or, in the case of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or
Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders,
provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment (except as provided in Section 2.01(c) with respect to
Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases) of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender,

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of
interest thereon (except for interest arising under Section 2.13(c)), or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,

(iii) postpone the date of any scheduled payment (excluding any payments pursuant to
Section 2.11) of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
scheduled payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,

(iv) [Reserved],

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or percentage set forth in the
definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive,
amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the
case may be),

(vi) release the Parent or all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary
Guarantee Agreement or all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral without the
written consent of each Lender, or

(vii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms
adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to or Commitments of Lenders holding
Loans or Commitments of any Class differently than those holding Loans or Commitments of any
other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the
outstanding Loans of such Class (and, in the case of the Revolving Class, LC Exposure,
Swingline Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments); provided that no such consent
shall be required with respect to rights to or priorities of prepayments of additional
series of Loans that may be approved by the Required Lenders;

provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such LC Issuer or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be, and (B) to the extent specified in Section 2.01(c), this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents may be amended to establish Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any
Series and/or Revolving Commitment Increases, as applicable, pursuant to an Incremental Loan
Amendment executed between the Borrower, the relevant Lenders of such Series or the relevant
Revolving Commitment Increase Lenders, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, and any such
Incremental Loan Amendment shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(c) Amendments to Security Documents. The Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of
the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under
any of the Loan Documents, provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall not (except as provided herein or in the Security Documents) release all
or substantially all of the Collateral, or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the
Liens, under the Security Documents, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or
substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except that no such consent shall
be necessary, so long as the Required Lenders have consented thereto, (i) if such additional
obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the other obligations secured by the Security
Documents or (ii) if such additional obligations consist of one or more additional tranches of
Loans under this Agreement), alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the
benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all
of such Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is
hereby authorized (and hereby agrees with the Borrower, upon its request), (x) to release any Lien
covering property that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a
disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented and (y) to release any Subsidiary from its
obligations under any Subsidiary Guaranty executed by such Subsidiary upon a disposition of such
Subsidiary permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP as counsel for the Arrangers (together with any
local counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,
the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents and involvement in
review of and advice concerning all other elements of the Transactions or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any
LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender following and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights
in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection
with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or
Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, each LC Issuer and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges
and disbursements of outside legal counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of
any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the
parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or
the use of the proceeds therefrom, including any refusal by the respective LC Issuer to honor a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iii) any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries (and not caused
by the actions of any Indemnitee), or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory and regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is
brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee, whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the Transactions are consummated, provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) results from disputes among such Lender and
one or more other Lenders.

(c) Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any
amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer or the Swingline
Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent or such LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender, 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 such LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender in its
capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” of any amount payable to the
Administrative Agent shall be determined based upon such Lender’s share of the sum of the total
Revolving Exposure, outstanding Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and unused Commitments at the
time, and a “Lender’s “pro rata share” of any amount payable to an LC Issuer shall be determined
based upon such Lender’s share of the sum of the total Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and unused
Revolving Commitments at the time.

(d) Waiver of Certain Damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the
Parent, the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall assert, and each 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
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (g) of this Section (and any other attempted
assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and
the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the
Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii)
shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans, or (y) prohibit any Lender from
assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Commitments or
Loans on a non-pro rata basis; (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by
the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower, in each case, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a
Lender with a Revolving Commitment (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as
an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party
to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the
effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with paragraph (e) of this Section.

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

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of
this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record
the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of
this Assignment unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and
subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d)
as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of
each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in
the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner
of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or
2.17, than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) and 2.17(f) as
though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Each such assignment made as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.19 shall be arranged by the Borrower after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall
be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this
Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with
another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and
obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement.

(i) No Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a request by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more
payments from either one or more Loan Parties or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate
amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing to such
Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and
all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement.

(j) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, each Lender assignor thereunder
and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and
hereto as follows:

(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, 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 any Loan Document or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or
the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto;

(ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance
or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto;

(iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together
with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 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 Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 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; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such
assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on
its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such
powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees
that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms
of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the LC Issuer or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time
to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties (an “SPC”)
the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to make 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 (i) no SPC shall be liable for
any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be
liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, or 2.17 (or any other
increased costs protection provision) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes,
including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. 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 proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without
prior consent of, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing
fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its interest in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii)
disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or
liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subsection (k) may not be amended without the prior written
consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by the SPC at the
time of such amendment.

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

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

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

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

by the law of the State of New York.

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

Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Parent, the Borrower
or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

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

THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used

LC Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective

with and to the extent necessary for the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any

(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the
extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Parent or

to disclosure by the Parent or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of reasonable

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 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 9.14 Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant
to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender maybe required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of
