Exhibit 10.1

SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED

2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

SECTION 1

GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING

TO PLAN GOVERNANCE, COVERAGE AND BENEFITS

     1.1 Purpose

     The purpose of the Plan is to foster and promote the long-term financial success of ION
Geophysical Corporation (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries and to increase stockholder value by:
(a) encouraging the commitment of Directors and selected key Employees and Consultants, (b)
motivating superior performance of Directors and key Employees and Consultants by means of
long-term performance related incentives, (c) encouraging and providing Directors and selected key
Employees and Consultants with a program for obtaining ownership interests in the Company that link
and align their personal interests to those of the Company’s stockholders, (d) attracting and
retaining Directors and selected key Employees and Consultants by providing competitive incentive
compensation opportunities, and (e) enabling Directors and selected key Employees and Consultants
to share in the long-term growth and success of the Company. For administrative purposes, and
subject to Section 8.13, this Plan incorporates the ION Geophysical Corporation Amended and
Restated 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”).

     The Plan provides for payment of various forms of incentive compensation. Except as provided
in Section 8.14, it is not intended to be a plan that is subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and, as such, the Plan will be interpreted,
construed and administered consistent with its status as a plan that is not subject to ERISA.

     This sixth amendment and restatement of the Plan will become effective as of May 27, 2011
(with the Plan having an original effective date of May 3, 2004 (the “Effective Date”)). The Plan
will commence on the Effective Date, and will remain in effect, subject to the right of the Board
to amend or terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Section 8.6, until all Shares
subject to the Plan have been purchased or acquired according to its provisions. However, in no
event may any Incentive Award be granted under the Plan after ten (10) years from the Effective
Date.

provided in Section 7.5.

shall preside at all of its meetings, and shall designate a secretary, without regard to whether
that person is a member of the Committee, who shall keep the minutes of the proceedings and all
records, documents, and data pertaining to its administration of the Plan. Meetings shall be held
at such times and places as shall be determined by the Committee and the Committee may hold
telephonic meetings.

     (c) Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee shall
be made in its discretion pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, and shall be final, conclusive
and binding on all persons including the Company, Employees, Directors, Grantees, and their estates

requirements of Section 8.6 if applicable, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide
for the extension of the exercisability of an Incentive Award, accelerate the vesting or
exercisability of an Incentive Award, eliminate or make less restrictive any restrictions contained
in an Incentive Award, waive any restriction or other provisions of an Incentive Award, or
otherwise amend or modify an Incentive Award in any manner that is either (i) not adverse to the
Grantee to whom such Incentive Award was granted or (ii) consented to by such Grantee; provided,
however, no Stock Option issued under the Plan will be repriced, replaced or regranted through
cancellation, or by lowering the Option Price of a previously granted Stock Option. and the period

payable under the Stock Option would be subject to the excise tax applicable under Section 409A of

other employees of the Company any of its duties and authority under the Plan pursuant to such
conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish from time to time; provided, however, the

any action which would contravene the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or the
Performance-Based Exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.

     (f) Expenses of Committee. The Committee may employ legal counsel, including, without
limitation, independent legal counsel and counsel regularly employed by the Company, and other
agents, as the Committee may deem appropriate for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may

by the Committee in interpreting and administering the Plan, including, without limitation, meeting
expenses and professional fees, shall be paid by the Company.

     (g) Indemnification. Each person who is or was a member of the Committee, or of the
Board, shall be indemnified by the Company against and from any damage, loss, liability, cost and
expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from
any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be a party or in which he may be involved by
reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan, except for any such act or omission
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence. Such person shall be indemnified by the
Company for all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by
him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided
he shall give the

5

 

Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes
to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Company’s Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or
otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

     (h) Awards in Foreign Countries. The Board shall have the authority to adopt
modifications, procedures, sub-plans, and other similar plan documents as may be necessary or
desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its
subsidiaries may operate to assure the viability of the benefits of Incentive Awards made to
individuals employed or providing services in such countries and to meet the objectives of the
Plan.

during which the Performance Shares are earned ends in the same year in which it begins or in a
later calendar year; provided that Performance Shares described in this paragraph (b) that are
intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be subject to the following: (i) If
the Performance Shares are denominated in Shares but are settled in an equivalent amount of cash,
the foregoing limit shall be applied as though the Incentive Award was settled in Shares; and
(ii) If delivery of Shares or cash is deferred until after Performance Shares have been earned,
any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or deemed investment experience after
the date the shares are earned shall be disregarded.

     (c) For Supplemental Payments that are intended to qualify for the Performance-Based
Exception, no more than $2,000,000 may be paid to any one Grantee for Performance Periods
beginning in any one calendar year, regardless of whether the applicable Performance Period
during which the Supplemental Payment is earned ends in the same year in which it begins or in a

intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be subject to the following: (i) If
a Supplemental Payment is denominated in cash but an equivalent amount of Shares is delivered in
lieu of delivery of cash, the foregoing limit shall be applied as though the Supplemental Payment
was settled in cash; and (ii) if delivery of Shares or cash is deferred until after the
Supplemental Payment has been earned, any adjustment in the amount delivered to reflect actual or
deemed investment experience after the date the Supplemental Payment is earned shall be
disregarded.

Shares subject to an Incentive Award; and

     (C) Payment of an Option Price with previously acquired Shares or by withholding Shares

Grantee who has been granted an Incentive Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional
Incentive Awards at any time.

     (b) Incentive Stock Option Eligibility. No Consultant or Non-Employee Director shall
be eligible for the grant of any Incentive Stock Option. In addition, no Employee shall be eligible

such Incentive Stock Option, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than ten percent (10%)
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, or any Parent or
Subsidiary. This restriction does not apply if, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted,
the Incentive Stock Option exercise price is at least one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the
Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not
exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. For the purpose of the
immediately preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply for
the purpose of determining an Employee’s percentage ownership in the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary. This paragraph shall be construed consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of

Stock Option is granted (110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option for 10% or greater
shareholders pursuant to Section 1.7(b)). Each Stock Option shall specify the method of
exercise, which shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 2.3(a).

     (d) Term. In the Incentive Agreement, the Committee shall fix the term of each Stock
Option, which shall be not more than ten (10) years from the date of grant (five years for ISO
grants to 10% or greater shareholders pursuant to Section 1.7(b)). In the event no term is
fixed, such term shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant.

     (e) Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which a Stock Option
may be exercised in whole or in part. Each Stock Option may specify the required period of
continuous Employment and/or the performance objectives to be achieved before the Stock Option or
portion thereof will become exercisable. Each Stock Option, the exercise of which, or the timing of
the exercise of which, is dependent, in whole or in part, on the achievement of designated
performance objectives, may specify a minimum level of achievement in respect of the specified
performance objectives below which no Stock Options will be exercisable and a method for
determining the number of Stock Options that will be exercisable if performance is at or above such
minimum but short of full achievement of the performance objectives. All such terms and conditions
shall be set forth in the Incentive Agreement.

     (f) $100,000 Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding any contrary
provision in the Plan, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Shares of Common Stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Grantee during any single
calendar year (under the Plan and any other stock option plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries
or Parent) exceeds the sum of $100,000, such Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option to the extent in excess of the $100,000 limit, and not an Incentive Stock
Option, but all other terms and provisions of such Stock Option shall remain unchanged. This
paragraph shall be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which
they were granted and shall be construed in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code. In the
absence of such regulations or other authority, or if such regulations or other authority require
or permit a designation of the Options which shall cease to constitute Incentive Stock Options,
then such Incentive Stock Options, only to the extent of such excess, shall automatically be deemed
to be Nonstatutory Stock Options but all other terms and conditions of such Incentive Stock
Options, and the corresponding Incentive Agreement, shall remain unchanged.

     2.3 Stock Option Exercises

     (a) Method of Exercise and Payment. Stock Options shall be exercised by the delivery
of a signed written notice of exercise to the Company as of a date set by the Company in advance of
the effective date of the proposed exercise. The notice shall set forth the number of Shares with
respect to which the Option is to be exercised.

     The Option Price upon exercise of any Stock Option shall be payable to the Company in full
either: (i) in cash or its equivalent, or (ii) by tendering previously acquired Shares having an
aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Option Price, or (iii) by
withholding Shares which otherwise would be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market
Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price, or (iv) by any combination of (i),
(ii), and (iii) above. Any payment in Shares shall be effected by surrender of such Shares to the
Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when
the Stock Option is exercised. The Company shall not withhold shares, and the Grantee shall not
surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Option Price if such action
would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with
respect to the Stock Option for financial reporting purposes.

     While the Company is a Publicly Held Corporation, the Committee may also allow the Option
Price to be paid with such other consideration as shall constitute lawful consideration for the
issuance of Shares (including, without limitation, effecting a “cashless exercise” with a broker or
dealer), subject to applicable securities law restrictions and tax withholdings, or by any other
means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law.

     As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment,
the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to or on behalf of the Grantee, in the name of
the Grantee or other appropriate recipient, Share certificates for the number of Shares purchased
under the Stock Option. Such delivery shall be effected for all purposes when the Company or a
stock transfer agent of the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the United States
mail, addressed to Grantee or other appropriate recipient.

     Subject to Section 7.2 during the lifetime of a Grantee, each Option granted to him
shall be exercisable only by the Grantee (or his legal guardian or personal representative in the
event of his Disability) or by a broker or dealer acting on his behalf pursuant to a cashless
exercise under the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3(a).

     (b) Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose such restrictions
on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option as it may deem advisable,
including, without limitation, restrictions under (i) any stockholders’ agreement, buy/sell
agreement, right of first refusal, non-competition, and any other agreement between the Company and
any of its securities holders or employees, (ii) any applicable federal securities laws, (iii) the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or quoted,
or (iv) any blue sky or state securities law applicable to such Shares. Any certificate issued to
evidence Shares issued upon the exercise of an Incentive Award may bear such legends and statements
as the Committee shall deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and
regulations.

     Any Grantee or other person exercising an Incentive Award may be required by the Committee to
give a written representation that the Incentive Award and the Shares subject to the Incentive
Award will be acquired for investment and not with a view to public distribution; provided,
however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may release any person receiving an Incentive
Award from any such representations either prior to or subsequent to the exercise of the Incentive
Award.

     (c) Notification of Disqualifying Disposition of Shares from Incentive Stock Options.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Grantee who disposes of Shares of Common Stock
acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by a sale or exchange either (i) within two
(2) years after the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option under which the Shares were
acquired or (ii) within one (1) year after the transfer of such Shares to him pursuant to exercise,
shall promptly notify the Company of such disposition, the amount realized and his adjusted basis
in such Shares.

     (d) Proceeds of Option Exercise. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale
of Shares pursuant to Stock Options exercised under the Plan shall be used for general corporate
purposes.

     (e) Information Required in Connection with Exercise of Incentive Stock Option. The
Company shall provide the Grantee with a written statement required by Section 6039 of the Code no
later than January 31 of the year following the calendar year during which the Grantee exercises an
Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option.

     2.4 Stock Appreciation Rights in Tandem with Nonstatutory Stock Options

     (a) Grant. The Committee may, at the time of grant of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, or
at any time thereafter during the term of the Nonstatutory Stock Option, grant Stock Appreciation
Rights with respect to all or any portion of the Shares of Common Stock covered by such
Nonstatutory Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right in tandem with a Nonstatutory Stock Option is
referred to herein as a “Tandem SAR.”

     (b) General Provisions. The terms and conditions of each Tandem SAR shall be
evidenced by an Incentive Agreement. The Option Price per Share of a Tandem SAR shall be fixed in
the Incentive Agreement and shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the grant date of the Nonstatutory Stock Option to which it relates.

     (c) Exercise. A Tandem SAR may be exercised at any time the Nonstatutory Stock Option
to which it relates is then exercisable, but only to the extent such Nonstatutory Stock Option is
exercisable, and shall otherwise be subject to the conditions applicable to such Nonstatutory Stock
Option. When a Tandem SAR is exercised, the Nonstatutory Stock Option to which it relates shall
terminate to the extent of the number of Shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR is exercised.
Similarly, when a Nonstatutory Stock Option is exercised, the Tandem SARs relating to the Shares
covered by such Nonstatutory Stock Option exercise shall terminate.

     (d) Settlement. Upon exercise of a Tandem SAR, the holder shall receive, for each
Share specified in the Tandem SAR grant, an amount equal to the Appreciation. The Appreciation
shall be payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, as specified in the Incentive
Agreement. The Appreciation shall be paid within 30 calendar days of the exercise of the Tandem
SAR. If the Appreciation is to be paid in Common Stock or cash only, the resulting shares or cash
shall be determined dividing (1) by (2), where (1) is the number of Shares as to which the Tandem
SAR is exercised multiplied by the Appreciation in such shares and (2) is the Fair Market Value of
a Share on the exercise date. If a portion of the Appreciation is to be paid in Shares, the Share
amount shall be determined by calculating the amount of cash payable pursuant to the preceding
sentence then by dividing (1) as defined herein, minus the amount of cash payable, by (2) as
defined herein.

     2.5 Stock Appreciation Rights Independent of Nonstatutory Stock Options

     (a) Grant. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights independent of
Nonstatutory Stock Options (“Independent SARs”).

     (b) General Provisions. The terms and conditions of each Independent SAR shall be
evidenced by an Incentive Agreement. The exercise price per share of Common Stock shall be not less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock on the date of
grant of the Independent SAR. The term of an Independent SAR shall be determined by the Committee.

     (c) Exercise. Independent SARs shall be exercisable at such time and subject to such
terms and conditions as the Committee shall specify in the Incentive Agreement for the Independent
SAR grant.

     (d) Settlement. Upon exercise of an Independent SAR, the holder shall receive, for
each Share specified in the Independent SAR grant, an amount equal to the Spread. The Spread shall
be payable in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of both, as specified in the Incentive
Agreement. The Spread shall be paid within 30 calendar days of the exercise of the Independent SAR.
If the Spread is to be paid in Common Stock or cash only, the resulting shares or cash shall be
determined by dividing (1) by (2), where (1) is the number of Shares as to which the Independent
SAR is exercised multiplied by the Spread in such Shares and (2) is the Fair Market Value of a
Share on the exercise date. If a portion of the Spread is to be paid in Shares, the Share amount
shall be determined by calculating the amount of cash payable pursuant to the preceding sentence
then by dividing (1) as defined herein, minus the amount of cash payable, by (2) as defined herein.

     2.6 Supplemental Payment on Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights

     The Committee, either at the time of grant or as of the time of exercise of any Nonstatutory
Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right, may provide in the Incentive Agreement for a Supplemental
Payment by the Company to the Grantee with respect to the exercise of any Nonstatutory Stock Option
or Stock Appreciation Right. The Supplemental Payment shall be in the amount specified by the
Committee, which amount shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the federal and state income
tax payable with respect to both the exercise of the Nonstatutory Stock Option and/or Stock
Appreciation Right and the receipt of the Supplemental Payment, assuming the holder is taxed at
either the maximum effective income tax rate applicable thereto or at a lower tax rate as deemed
appropriate by the Committee. The Committee shall have the discretion to grant Supplemental
Payments that are payable solely in cash or Supplemental Payments that are payable in cash, Common
Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment.

SECTION 3

PERFORMANCE SHARES

     3.1 Performance Based Awards

     (a) Grant. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Shares to selected
Grantees who are Employees or Consultants. Each grant of Performance Shares shall be evidenced by
an Incentive Agreement in such amounts and upon such terms as shall be determined by the Committee.
The Committee may make grants of Performance Shares in such a manner that more than one Performance
Period is in progress concurrently. For each Performance Period, the Committee shall establish the
number of Performance Shares and their contingent values which may vary depending on the degree to
which performance criteria established by the Committee are met.

     (b) Performance Criteria.

     (i) The grant of Performance Shares shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies, as determined by the Committee.

     (ii) The Committee may designate a grant of Performance Shares to any Grantee as intended to
qualify for the Performance-Based Exception. To the extent required by Code section 162(m), any
grant of Performance Shares so designated shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more
performance goals, subject to the following:

     (A) The performance goals shall be based upon criteria in one or more of the following
categories: performance of the Company as a whole, performance of a segment of the Company’s
business, and individual performance. Performance criteria for the Company shall relate to the
achievement of predetermined financial objectives for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. Performance criteria for a segment of the Company’s business shall relate to
the achievement of financial and operating objectives of the segment for which the Grantee is
accountable.

     (B) Performance criteria shall include pre-tax or after-tax profit levels, including:
earnings per share, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, net operating profits after tax, and net income; total shareholder
return; return on assets, equity, capital or investment; cash flow and cash flow return on
investment; economic value added and economic profit; growth in earnings per share; levels of
operating expense and maintenance expense; or measures of customer satisfaction and customer
service, as determined from time to time including the relative improvement therein.

     (C) Individual performance criteria shall relate to a Grantee’s overall performance, taking
into account, among other measures of performance, the attainment of individual goals and
objectives. The performance goals may differ among Grantees.

     (c) Modification. If the Committee determines, in its discretion exercised in good
faith, that the established performance measures or objectives are no longer suitable to the
Company’s objectives because of a change in the Company’s business, operations, corporate
structure, capital structure, or other conditions the Committee deems to be appropriate, the
Committee may modify the performance measures and objectives to the extent it considers to be
necessary. However, if any Performance Shares are designated as intended to qualify for the
Performance-Based Exception, no such modification shall be made to the extent the modification
would otherwise cause the Performance Shares to not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception.

     (d) Payment. The basis for payment of Performance Shares for a given Performance
Period shall be the achievement of those performance objectives determined by the Committee at the
beginning of the Performance Period as specified in the Grantee’s Incentive Agreement. If minimum
performance is not achieved for a Performance Period, no payment shall be made and all contingent
rights shall cease. If minimum performance is achieved or exceeded, the number of Performance
Shares may be based on the degree to which actual performance exceeded the pre-established minimum
performance standards. The amount of payment shall be determined by multiplying the number of
Performance Shares granted at the beginning of the Performance Period times the final Performance
Share value. Payments shall be made in cash or Common Stock in the discretion of the Committee as
specified in the Incentive Agreement.

     (e) Special Rule for Covered Employees. No later than the ninetieth (90th) day
following the beginning of a Performance Period (or twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance
Period) the Committee shall establish performance goals as described in Section 3.1(b)
applicable to Performance Shares awarded to Covered Employees in such a manner as shall permit
payments with respect thereto to

11

 

qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, if applicable. If a Performance Share granted to
a Covered Employee is intended to comply with the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee in
establishing performance goals shall comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.162-27(e)(2) (or its
successor). As soon as practicable following the Company’s determination of the Company’s financial
results for any Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing: (i) whether the Company
achieved its minimum performance for the objectives for the Performance Period, (ii) the extent to
which the Company achieved its performance objectives for the Performance Period, (iii) any other
terms that are material to the grant of Performance Shares, and (iv) the calculation of the
payments, if any, to be paid to each Grantee for the Performance Period.

SECTION 4

RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

     4.1 Grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units

     Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to
time, may grant Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units to Grantees in such amounts as the
Committee shall determine. Restricted Stock Units shall be similar to Restricted Stock except that
no Shares are actually awarded to the Grantee on the date of grant.

     4.2 Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award Terms

     (a) Written Agreement. The terms and conditions of each grant of Restricted Stock
Award and/or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Incentive Agreement that shall
specify the Period(s) of Restriction, the number of shares of Restricted Stock or the number of
Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

     (b) Transferability. Except as provided in this Plan or an Incentive Agreement,
Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units granted herein may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of
Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the Incentive Agreement (and in the case
of Restricted Stock Units until the date of delivery or other payment), or upon earlier
satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and
set forth in the Incentive Agreement or otherwise at any time by the Committee. All rights with
respect to the Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units granted to a Grantee under the Plan
shall be available during his lifetime only to such Grantee, except as otherwise provided in an
Incentive Agreement or at any time by the Committee.

     (c) Other Restrictions. The Committee shall impose such other conditions and/or
restrictions on any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it
may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Grantees pay a stipulated
purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock or each Restricted Stock Unit, restrictions based
upon the achievement of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting following
the attainment of the performance goals, time-based restrictions, and/or restrictions under
applicable laws or under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares
are listed or traded, or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the Shares by the
Company upon vesting of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

     To the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, the Company may retain the certificates
representing shares of Restricted Stock in the Company’s possession until such time as all
conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied or lapse.

     Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, shares of Restricted Stock covered by
each Restricted Stock Award shall become freely transferable by the Grantee after all conditions
and restrictions applicable to such shares have been satisfied or lapse (including satisfaction of
any applicable tax withholding obligations) at the close of the Period of Restriction (but no later
than 2 1/2 months following the end of the year that contains the close of the Period of
Restriction), or as soon as practicable thereafter. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash,
Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares as the Committee, in its sole discretion shall
determine.

     (d) Certificate Legend. In addition to any legends placed on certificates pursuant to
Section 7.1(c), each certificate representing Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan
may bear a legend such as the following or as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion:

     the sale or transfer of shares of stock represented by this certificate, whether
voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on
transfer as set forth in the SIXTH amended and restated 2004 long-term incentive
plan, and in the associated incentive agreement. a copy of the plan and such
incentive agreement may be obtained from Ion Geophysical Corporation.

12

 

     (e) Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as otherwise set
forth in a Grantee’s Incentive Agreement, to the extent permitted or required by law, as determined
by the Committee, Grantees holding shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be granted the
right to exercise full voting rights with respect to those shares during the Period of Restriction.
A Grantee shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder.

     (f) Termination of Employment. Each Incentive Agreement shall set forth the extent to
which the Grantee shall have the right to retain Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units
following termination of the Grantee’s employment with or provision of services to the Company, its
Affiliates, and/or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such provisions shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Incentive Agreement entered into with
each Grantee, need not be uniform among all Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

     (g) Section 83(b) Election. The Committee may provide in an Incentive Agreement that
the Award of Restricted Stock is conditioned upon the Grantee making or refraining from making an
election with respect to the Award under Section 83(b) of the Code. If a Grantee makes an election
pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code concerning a Restricted Stock Award, the Grantee shall be
required to file promptly a copy of such election with the Company.

     4.3 Supplemental Payment on Vesting of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

     The Committee, either at the time of grant or at the time of vesting of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units, may provide for a Supplemental Payment by the Company to the Grantee in an
amount specified by the Committee, which amount shall not exceed the amount necessary to pay the
federal and state income tax payable with respect to both the vesting of such Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units and receipt of the Supplemental Payment, assuming the Grantee is taxed at
either the maximum effective income tax rate applicable thereto or at a lower tax rate as seemed
appropriate by the Committee. The Committee shall also have the discretion to grant Supplemental
Payments that are payable in Common Stock.

SECTION 5

OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

     5.1 Grant of Other Stock-Based Awards

     Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded by the Committee to selected Grantees that are
denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise related to,
Shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan
and the goals of the Company. Other types of Stock-Based Awards include, without limitation,
Deferred Stock, purchase rights, Shares of Common Stock awarded which are not subject to any
restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures, other rights convertible into
Shares, Incentive Awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of a
specified Subsidiary, division or department, and settlement in cancellation of rights of any
person with a vested interest in any other plan, fund, program or arrangement that is or was
sponsored, maintained or participated in by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. As is the case
with other Incentive Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to
or in tandem with any other Incentive Awards.

     5.2 Other Stock-Based Award Terms

     (a) Written Agreement. The terms and conditions of each grant of an Other Stock-Based
Award shall be evidenced by an Incentive Agreement.

     (b) Purchase Price. Except to the extent that an Other Stock-Based Award is granted
in substitution for an outstanding Incentive Award or is delivered upon exercise of a Stock Option,
the amount of consideration required to be received by the Company shall be either (i) no
consideration other than services actually rendered (in the case of authorized and unissued shares)
or to be rendered, or (ii) in the case of an Other Stock-Based Award in the nature of a purchase
right, consideration (other than services rendered or to be rendered) at least equal to 50% of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such grant on the date of grant (or such percentage
higher than 50% that is required by any applicable tax or securities law).

     (c) Performance Criteria and Other Terms. In its discretion, the Committee may
specify such criteria, periods or goals for vesting in Other Stock-Based Awards and payment thereof
to the Grantee as it shall determine; and the extent to which such criteria, periods or goals have
been met shall be determined by the Committee. All terms and conditions of Other Stock-Based Awards
shall be

13

 

determined by the Committee and set forth in the Incentive Agreement. The Committee may also
provide for a Supplemental Payment similar to such payment as described in Section 4.3.

     (d) Payment. Other Stock-Based Awards may be paid in Shares of Common Stock or other
consideration related to such Shares, in a single payment or in installments on such dates as
determined by the Committee, all as specified in the Incentive Agreement.

     (e) Dividends. The Grantee of an Other Stock-Based Award may be entitled to receive,
currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of
Shares covered by the Other Stock-Based Award, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the
Incentive Agreement. The Committee may also provide in the Incentive Agreement that such amounts
(if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares of Common Stock.

SECTION 6

PROVISIONS RELATING TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR AWARDS

     6.1 Generally

     All Awards to Non-Employee Directors shall be determined by the Board or Committee.

     6.2 Vesting Period

Incentive Agreement, each Incentive Award granted to a Non-Employee Director shall vest as follows:

     (a) each Incentive Award granted to a Non-Employee Director under the Plan during his
initial year of service as a Non-Employee Director, if any, shall vest in 33.33% consecutive
annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary dates of the date of grant of each
such Incentive Award;

     (b) each Incentive Award granted to a Non-Employee Director under the Plan during his second
full year of service as a Non-Employee Director, if any, shall vest in 50% consecutive annual
installments on the first and second anniversary dates of the Date of Grant of each such
Incentive Award;

of grant.

SECTION 7

PROVISIONS RELATING TO PLAN PARTICIPATION

     7.1 Plan Conditions

     (a) Incentive Agreement. Each Grantee to whom an Incentive Award is granted shall be
required to enter into an Incentive Agreement with the Company, in such a form as is provided by
the Committee. The Incentive Agreement shall contain specific terms as determined by the Committee,
in its discretion, with respect to the Grantee’s particular Incentive Award. Such terms need not be
uniform among all Grantees or any similarly-situated Grantees. The Incentive Agreement may include,
without limitation, vesting, forfeiture and other provisions particular to the particular Grantee’s
Incentive Award, as well as, for example, provisions to the effect that the Grantee (i) shall not
disclose any confidential information acquired during Employment with the Company, (ii) shall abide
by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as may be imposed
by the Committee, (iii) shall not interfere with the employment or other service of any employee,
(iv) shall not compete with the Company or become involved in a conflict of interest with the
interests of the Company, (v) shall forfeit an Incentive Award as determined by the Committee
(including if terminated for Cause), (vi) shall not be permitted to make an election under Section
83(b) of the Code when applicable, and (vii) shall be subject to any other agreement between the
Grantee and the Company regarding Shares that may be acquired under an Incentive Award including,
without limitation, a stockholders’ agreement or other agreement restricting the transferability of
Shares by Grantee. An Incentive Agreement shall include such terms and conditions as are determined
by the Committee, in its discretion, to

14

 

be appropriate with respect to any individual Grantee. The Incentive Agreement shall be signed
by the Grantee to whom the Incentive Award is made and by an Authorized Officer.

     (b) No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed pursuant
to the Plan shall create any Employment rights or right to serve on the Board (including without
limitation, rights to continued Employment or to continue to provide services as a Director or
Consultant) by any Grantee or affect the right of the Company to terminate the Employment or
services of any Grantee at any time without regard to the existence of the Plan.

     (c) Securities Requirements. The Company shall be under no obligation to effect the
registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 of any Shares of Common Stock to be issued
hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to cause to be issued or delivered any
certificates evidencing Shares pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company is advised by its
counsel that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable
laws, regulations of governmental authorities, and the requirements of any securities exchange or
national quotation system on which Shares are traded or quoted. The Committee may require, as a
condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing Shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such Shares make such covenants, agreements and
representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Committee, in its discretion,
deems necessary or desirable.

     If the Shares issuable on exercise of an Incentive Award are not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, the Company may imprint on the certificate for such Shares the following
legend or any other legend which counsel for the Company considers necessary or advisable to comply
with the Securities Act of 1933:

     The shares of stock represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the securities act of 1933 or under the securities laws of any state and may
not be sold or transferred except upon such registration or upon receipt by the
corporation of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the corporation, in form and
substance satisfactory to the corporation, that registration is not required for such
sale or transfer.

     7.2 Transferability

     Incentive Awards granted under the Plan shall not be transferable or assignable, pledged, or
otherwise encumbered other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. However, only with
respect to Incentive Awards that are not Incentive Stock Options, the Committee may, in its
discretion, authorize all or a portion of the Nonstatutory Stock Options to be granted on terms
which permit transfer by the Grantee to (i) the members of the Grantee’s Immediate Family, (ii) a
trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of Immediate Family members, (iii) a partnership in which
Immediate Family members are the only partners, (iv) any other entity owned solely by Immediate
Family members, or (v) pursuant to a domestic relations order that would qualify under Code Section
414(p); provided that (A) the Incentive Agreement pursuant to which such Nonstatutory Stock Options
are granted must expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this Section
7.2, (B) the actual transfer must be approved in advance by the Committee, and (C) subsequent
transfers of transferred Nonstatutory Stock Options shall be prohibited except in accordance with
the first sentence of this section. Following any permitted transfer, the Nonstatutory Stock Option
shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior
to transfer, provided that the term “Grantee” (subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph)
shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. The events of termination of employment, as set out in
Section 7.6 and in the Incentive Agreement, shall continue to be applied with respect to
the original Grantee, and the Incentive Award shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the
extent, and for the periods, specified in the Incentive Agreement.

     Except as may otherwise be permitted under the Code, in the event of a permitted transfer of a
Nonstatutory Stock Option hereunder, the original Grantee shall remain subject to withholding taxes
upon exercise. In addition, the Company and the Committee shall have no obligation to provide any
notices to any Grantee or transferee thereof, including, for example, notice of the expiration of
an Incentive Award following the original Grantee’s termination of employment.

     The designation by a Grantee of a beneficiary of an Incentive Award shall not constitute a
transfer of the Incentive Award. No transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee has been furnished with a copy of the
deceased Grantee’s enforceable will or such other evidence as the Committee deems necessary to
establish the validity of the transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section
7.2 shall be void and ineffective. The Committee in its discretion shall make all
determinations under this Section 7.2.

15

 

     7.3 Rights as a Stockholder

     (a) No Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4, a
Grantee of an Incentive Award (or a permitted transferee of such Grantee) shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Shares of Common Stock until the issuance of a stock certificate
for such Shares.

     (b) Representation of Ownership. In the case of the exercise of an Incentive Award by
a person or estate acquiring the right to exercise such Incentive Award by reason of the death or
Disability of a Grantee, the Committee may require reasonable evidence as to the ownership of such
Incentive Award or the authority of such person and may require such consents and releases of
taxing authorities as the Committee may deem advisable.

     7.4 Listing and Registration of Shares of Common Stock

     The exercise of any Incentive Award granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time as
counsel to the Company shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of Shares of Common
Stock pursuant to such exercise is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of
governmental authorities and the requirements of any securities exchange or quotation system on
which Shares of Common Stock are traded or quoted. The Committee may, in its discretion, elect to
suspend the right to exercise any Incentive Award during any Company-imposed employee “blackout”
stock trading period that is necessary or desirable to comply with requirements of such laws,
regulations or requirements. The Committee may also, in its discretion, elect to extend the period
for exercise of any Incentive Award to reflect any such “blackout” period. The Committee may, in
its discretion, defer the effectiveness of any exercise of an Incentive Award in order to allow the
issuance of Shares of Common Stock to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from
registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state securities laws. The
Committee shall inform the Grantee in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of the
exercise of an Incentive Award.

     7.5 Change in Stock and Adjustments

     (a) Changes in Law. Subject to Section 7.7 (which only applies in the event
of a Change of Control), in the event of any change in applicable law which warrants equitable
adjustment because it interferes with the intended operation of the Plan, then, if the Committee
should determine, in its absolute discretion, that such change equitably requires an adjustment in
the number or kind of shares of stock or other securities or property theretofore subject, or which
may become subject, to issuance or transfer under the Plan or in the terms and conditions of
outstanding Incentive Awards, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.
Such adjustments may include changes with respect to (i) the aggregate number of Shares that may be
issued under the Plan, (ii) the number of Shares subject to Incentive Awards, and (iii) the price
per Share for outstanding Incentive Awards. Any adjustment under this paragraph of an outstanding
Incentive Stock Option shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within
the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code unless otherwise agreed to by the Grantee in writing.
The Committee shall give notice to each applicable Grantee of such adjustment, which shall be
effective and binding.

     (b) Exercise of Corporate Powers. The existence of the Plan or outstanding Incentive
Awards hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders
to make or authorize any or all adjustments, re-capitalizations, reorganizations or other changes
in the Company’s capital structure or its business or any merger or consolidation of the Company,
or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the
Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale
or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding
whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     (c) Recapitalization of the Company. Subject to Section 7.7 (which only
applies in the event of a Change in Control), in the event that the Committee shall determine that
any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or
other property), re-capitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, rights offering,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision,
repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or
other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar
corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by
the Committee to be appropriate to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as
it deems equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or the
securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Incentive Awards, (ii) the
number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding
Incentive Awards, (iii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or
property) subject to the annual per-individual limitation under Section 1.4(a) of the Plan,
(iv) the Option Price of each outstanding Incentive Award, and (v) the number of or Option Price of
Shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding SARs previously granted and unexercised under
the Plan to the end that the same proportion of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock in each instance shall remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate Option Price;
provided however, that the

16

 

number of Shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any Incentive
Award shall always be a whole number. In lieu of the foregoing, if deemed appropriate, the
Committee may make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Incentive Award.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment or cash payment shall be made or authorized to
the extent that such adjustment or cash payment would cause the Plan or any Stock Option to violate
Section 422 of the Code. Such adjustments shall be made in accordance with the rules of any
securities exchange, stock market, or stock quotation system to which the Company is subject.

     Upon the occurrence of any such adjustment or cash payment, the Company shall provide notice
to each affected Grantee of its computation of such adjustment or cash payment, which shall be
conclusive and shall be binding upon each such Grantee.

     (d) Issue of Common Stock by the Company. Except as herein above expressly provided
in this Section 7.5 and subject to Section 7.7 in the event of a Change in Control,
the issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of
stock of any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon
the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon any conversion of shares or
obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and
no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of, or Fair Market Value
of, any Incentive Awards then outstanding under previously granted Incentive Awards.

     (e) Assumption of Incentive Awards by a Successor. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee in its discretion pursuant to the next paragraph, but subject to the accelerated vesting
and other provisions of Section 7.7 that apply in the event of a Change in Control, in the
event of a Corporate Event (defined below), each Grantee shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of
the number of Shares subject to Incentive Awards, such shares of capital stock (or other securities
or property) as may be issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Shares
which Grantee would have received had he exercised the Incentive Award immediately prior to such
Corporate Event, together with any adjustments (including, without limitation, adjustments to the
Option Price and the number of Shares issuable on exercise of outstanding Stock Options). A
“Corporate Event” means any of the following: (i) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii)
a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or (iii) a merger, consolidation or
combination involving the Company (other than a merger, consolidation or combination (A) in which
the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and (B) which does not result in the
outstanding Shares being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other
property, or any combination thereof). The Committee shall take whatever other action it deems
appropriate to preserve the rights of Grantees holding outstanding Incentive Awards.

     Subject to the accelerated vesting and other provisions of Section 7.7 that apply in
the event of a Change in Control, in the event of a Corporate Event, the Committee in its
discretion shall have the right and power to:

     (i) cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of the Corporate Event, each
outstanding Incentive Award (whether or not then exercisable) and, in full consideration of such
cancellation, pay to the Grantee an amount in cash equal to the excess of (A) the value, as
determined by the Committee, of the property (including cash) received by the holders of Common
Stock as a result of such Corporate Event over (B) the exercise price of such Incentive Award, if
any; or

     (ii) provide for the exchange or substitution of each Incentive Award outstanding
immediately prior to such Corporate Event (whether or not then exercisable) for another award
with respect to the Common Stock or other property for which such Incentive Award is exchangeable
and, incident thereto, make an equitable adjustment as determined by the Committee, in its
discretion, in the exercise price of the Incentive Award, if any, or in the number of Shares or
amount of property (including cash) subject to the Incentive Award; or

     (iii) provide for the assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Incentive Awards by the
surviving entity or its parent.

     The Committee, in its discretion, shall have the authority to take whatever action it deems to
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Subsection (e).

     (f) intentionally deleted.

     7.6 Termination of Employment, Death, Disability and Retirement

     (a) Termination of Relationship. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grantee’s
Incentive Agreement, if the Grantee’s Employment or services as a Director or Consultant is
terminated for any reason other than due to his death, Disability, Retirement, or for Cause, any
non-vested portion of any Stock Option or other applicable Incentive Award at the time of such
termination shall

17

 

automatically expire and terminate and no further vesting shall occur after the termination
date. In such event, except as otherwise expressly provided in his Incentive Agreement, the Grantee
shall be entitled to exercise his rights only with respect to the portion of the Incentive Award
that was vested as of his termination of Employment or service date. In such event, except as
otherwise expressly provided in his Incentive Agreement, the Grantee shall be entitled to exercise
his vested Stock Options for a period that shall end on the earlier of (i) the expiration date set
forth in the Incentive Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of his
termination, except with respect to Incentive Stock Options, in which case such period shall be
three (3) months.

     (b) Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grantee’s
Incentive Agreement, in the event of the termination of a Grantee’s Employment, or service as a
Consultant or Director, for Cause, all vested and non-vested Stock Options and other Incentive
Awards (other than vested Restricted Stock or vested Restricted Stock Units) granted to such
Grantee shall immediately expire, and shall not be exercisable to any extent, as of 12:01 a.m.,
Houston, Texas time, on the date of such termination of Employment or service for cause.

     (c) Retirement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grantee’s Incentive
Agreement, upon the termination of Employment due to the Retirement of any Employee who is a
Grantee:

     (i) all of his Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall become
100% vested and immediately and fully exercisable until the earlier of (A) the expiration date
set forth in the Incentive Agreement for such Incentive Award; or (B) the expiration of (1)
twelve months after the date of his termination of Employment due to his Retirement in the case
of any Incentive Award other than an Incentive Stock Option or (2) three months after his
termination date in the case of an Incentive Stock Option;

     (ii) any Period of Restriction with respect to any of his Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units shall be deemed to have expired and all restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, and each such Incentive Award shall thereupon become free of
all restrictions and fully vested; and

     (iii) all of the restrictions and conditions of any of his Other Stock-Based Awards then
outstanding shall be deemed satisfied, and the Period of Restriction with respect thereto shall
be deemed to have expired, and each such Incentive Award shall thereupon become free of all
restrictions and fully vested.

     (d) Disability or Death. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Grantee’s
Incentive Agreement, upon the termination of Employment or service as a Director due to the
Disability or death of any Employee or Non-Employee Director who is a Grantee:

     (i) all of his Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall become
100% vested and immediately and fully exercisable until the earlier of (A) the expiration date
set forth in the Incentive Agreement for such Incentive Award; or (B) the expiration of (1)
twelve months after the date of his termination of Employment due to his Disability or death in
the case of any Incentive Award other than an Incentive Stock Option or (2) three months after
his termination date in the case of an Incentive Stock Option;

     (ii) any Period of Restriction with respect to any of his Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Unit shall be deemed to have expired and all restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, and each such Incentive Award shall thereupon become free of
all restrictions and fully vested; and

     (iii) all of the restrictions and conditions of any of his Other Stock-Based Awards then
outstanding shall be deemed satisfied, and the Period of Restriction with respect thereto shall
be deemed to have expired, and each such Incentive Award shall thereupon become free of all
restrictions and fully vested.

     In the case of any vested Incentive Stock Option held by an Employee following termination of
Employment, notwithstanding the definition of ‘Disability’ in Section 1.2, whether the
Employee has incurred a ‘Disability’ for purposes of determining the length of the Option exercise
period following termination of Employment under this Subsection (d) shall be determined by
reference to Section 22(e)(3) of the Code to the extent required by Section 422(c)(6) of the Code.
The Committee shall determine whether a Disability for purposes of this Subsection (d) has
occurred.

     (e) Continuation. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the Plan and
applicable law and regulation in the event that a Grantee ceases to be an Employee or Consultant,
as applicable, for whatever reason, the Committee and Grantee may mutually agree with respect to
any outstanding Option or other Incentive Award then held by the Grantee (i) for an acceleration or
other adjustment in any

18

 

vesting schedule applicable to the Incentive Award, (ii) for a continuation of the exercise
period following termination for a longer period than is otherwise provided under such Incentive
Award, or (iii) to any other change in the terms and conditions of the Incentive Award. In the
event of any such change to an outstanding Incentive Award, a written amendment to the Grantee’s
Incentive Agreement shall be required.

     7.7 Change in Control

     In the event of a Change in Control (as defined below), the following actions shall
automatically occur as of the day immediately preceding the Change in Control date unless expressly
provided otherwise in the Grantee’s Incentive Agreement:

     (a) all of the Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding shall become
100% vested and immediately and fully exercisable;

     (b) any Period of Restriction with respect to any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit
shall be deemed to have expired and all restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted
Stock Units shall lapse, and thus each such Incentive Award shall become free of all restrictions
and fully vested;

     (c) all of the restrictions and conditions of any Other Stock-Based Awards then outstanding
shall be deemed satisfied, and the Period of Restriction with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have expired, and thus each such Incentive Award shall become free of all restrictions and fully
vested; and

     (d) all of the Performance Shares, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and any Other
Stock-Based Awards shall become fully vested, deemed earned in full, and promptly paid within
thirty (30) days to the affected Grantees without regard to payment schedules and notwithstanding
that the applicable performance cycle, retention cycle or other restrictions and conditions have
not been completed or satisfied.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the
Grantee’s Incentive Agreement, the provisions of this Section 7.7 may not be terminated,
amended, or modified to adversely affect any Incentive Award theretofore granted under the Plan
without the prior written consent of the Grantee with respect to his outstanding Incentive Awards,
subject, however, to the last paragraph of this Section 7.7.

     For all purposes of this Plan, a “Change in Control” of the Company means the occurrence of
any one or more of the following events:

     (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act (a “Person”)) of beneficial ownership(within the meaning
of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of forty percent (40%) or more of either (i)
the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Stock”) or
(ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”);
provided, however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i)
any acquisition directly from the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) any acquisition by the Company
or any Subsidiary or by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by
the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar business combination involving the Company (a
“Merger”), if, following such Merger, the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 7.7(c) (below) are satisfied;

     (b) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective
Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a
vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be
considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for
this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either
an actual or threatened election contest (a solicitation by any person or group of persons for
the purpose of opposing a solicitation of proxies or consents by the Board with respect to the
election or removal of Directors at any annual or special meeting of stockholders) or other
actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than
the Board;

     (c) Consummation of a Merger, unless immediately following such Merger, (i) substantially
all of the holders of the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to Merger
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the common stock of the corporation
resulting from such Merger (or its parent corporation) in substantially the same proportions as
their ownership of Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Merger and
(ii) at least a majority of the members

19

 

of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Merger (or its parent
corporation) were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial
agreement providing for such Merger; or

     (d) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

     7.8 Exchange of Incentive Awards

     The Committee may, in its discretion, permit any Grantee to surrender outstanding Incentive
Awards in order to exercise or realize his rights under other Incentive Awards or in exchange for
the grant of new Incentive Awards, or require holders of Incentive Awards to surrender outstanding
Incentive Awards (or comparable rights under other plans or arrangements) as a condition precedent
to the grant of new Incentive Awards.

SECTION 8

GENERAL

     8.1 Effective Date and Grant Period

     The amendment and restatement of this Plan is adopted by the Board effective as of February
14, 2008. No Incentive Award that is an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan
after ten (10) years from the Effective Date. Unless sooner terminated by action of the Board, this
Plan will terminate at 5:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time, on May 3, 2014. Incentive Awards under this
Plan may not be granted after that date, but any Incentive Award duly granted before that date will
continue to be effective in accordance with its terms and conditions.

     8.2 Funding and Liability of Company

     No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any
obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to
which contributions are made, or otherwise to segregate any assets. In addition, the Company shall
not be required to maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the
existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for purposes of the Plan.
Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Grantees who are entitled to cash,
Common Stock or rights thereto under the Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a
bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any
time be represented by cash, Common Stock or rights thereto. The Plan shall not be construed as
providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company, the Board or the Committee be deemed to be a
trustee of any cash, Common Stock or rights thereto. Any liability or obligation of the Company to
any Grantee with respect to an Incentive Award shall be based solely upon any contractual
obligations that may be created by this Plan and any Incentive Agreement, and no such liability or
obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any
property of the Company. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give
any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by the Plan.

     8.3 Withholding Taxes

     (a) Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or
withhold, or require a Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with
respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan or an Incentive Award hereunder.

     (b) Share Withholding. With respect to tax withholding required upon the exercise of
Stock Options or SARs, or upon any other taxable event arising as a result of any Incentive Awards,
Grantees may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee in its discretion, to satisfy the
withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair
Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum withholding tax which
could be imposed on the transaction. All such elections shall be made in writing, signed by the
Grantee, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its
discretion, deems appropriate.

     8.4 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences

     Neither the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal,
state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to
participate hereunder.

20

 

     8.5 Designation of Beneficiary by Grantee

     Each Grantee may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named
contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his death
before he receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior
designations by the same Grantee, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be
effective only when filed by the Grantee in writing with the Committee during the Grantee’s
lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Grantee’s death
shall be paid to the Grantee’s estate.

     8.6 Amendment and Termination

     The Board shall have the power and authority to terminate or amend the Plan at any time. No
termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any
outstanding Incentive Award previously granted to a Grantee under the Plan, without the written
consent of such Grantee or other designated holder of such Incentive Award.

     In addition, to the extent that the Committee determines that (a) the listing or qualification
requirements of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Company’s Common
Stock is then listed or quoted, if applicable, or (b) the Code (or regulations promulgated
thereunder), require stockholder approval in order to maintain compliance with such listing or
quotation system requirements or to maintain any favorable tax advantages or qualifications, then
the Plan shall not be amended in such respect without approval of the Company’s stockholders.

     8.7 Governmental Entities and Securities Exchanges

     The granting of Incentive Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to
all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or
national securities exchanges as may be required. Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock
delivered under this Plan (to the extent that such shares are so evidenced) may be subject to such
stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or transaction
reporting system upon which the Common Stock is then listed or to which it is admitted for
quotation, and any applicable federal or state securities law, if applicable. The Committee may
cause a legend or legends to be placed upon such certificates (if any) to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

     8.8 Successors to Company

     All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Incentive Awards granted
hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor
is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

     8.9 Miscellaneous Provisions

     (a) No Employee or Consultant, or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an
Incentive Award under the Plan. Neither the Plan, nor any action taken hereunder, shall be
construed as giving any Employee, Director or Consultant, any right to be retained in the
Employment or other service of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.

     (b) By accepting any Incentive Award, each Grantee and each person claiming by or through him
shall be deemed to have indicated his acceptance of the Plan.

     (c) Performance-based awards granted under the Plan to a Grantee who is subject to the
Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy, as may be amended from time to time, may be reduced or
subject to recoupment pursuant to the terms and conditions of such policy.

     8.10 Severability

     In the event that any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable
for any reason, such provision shall be fully severable, but shall not affect the remaining
provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable provision was not included herein.

21

 

     8.11 Gender, Tense and Headings

     Whenever the context so requires, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the
feminine and neuter, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Section headings as
used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the
interpretation or construction of the Plan.

     8.12 Governing Law

     The Plan shall be interpreted, construed and constructed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas without regard to its conflicts of law provisions, except as may be superseded by
applicable laws of the United States or applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation
Law.

     8.13 Successor to Director Plan

     This Plan shall serve as the successor to the Director Plan. All outstanding Awards under the
Director Plan shall continue to be governed solely by the terms and conditions of the instrument
evidencing such grant or issuance. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, no
provision of this Plan is intended to modify, extend or renew any option granted under the Director
Plan. Any provision in this Plan that is contrary to a provision in the Director Plan that would
create a modification, extension or renewal of such option is hereby incorporated into this Plan.
All terms, conditions and limitations, if any, that are set forth in any previously granted option
agreement shall remain in full force and effect under the terms of the Plan pursuant to which it
was issued.

     8.14 Deferred Compensation

     This Plan and any Incentive Agreement issued under the Plan is intended to meet the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to
meet those requirements and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To
the extent that an Incentive Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to
Section 409A of the Code, except as the Board otherwise determines in writing, the Incentive Award
shall be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section
409A of the Code, including regulations or other guidance issued with respect thereto, such that
the grant, payment, settlement or deferral shall not be subject to the excise tax applicable under
Section 409A of the Code. Any provision of this Plan or any Incentive Agreement that would cause an
Incentive Award or the payment, settlement or deferral thereof to fail to satisfy Section 409A of
the Code shall be amended (in a manner that as closely as practicable achieves the original intent
of this Plan or the Incentive Agreement, as applicable) to comply with Section 409A of the Code on
a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with regulations and other
guidance issued under Section 409A of the Code. In the event the Plan allows for a deferral of
compensation, the Plan is intended to qualify for certain exemptions under Title I of ERISA
provided for plans that are unfunded and maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly-compensated employees.

Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an
amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000
(or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such
lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000; provided, that the Swing Line Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower,
borrowings of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments in other amounts pursuant to
Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice from the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Each Revolving
Credit Lender will make its Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of each borrowing of
Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the
Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the
Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent.

2.6 Swing Line Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line
Lender agrees that, during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, it will make available to the
Borrower in the form of swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) a portion of the credit
otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that
(i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the
Swing Line Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any
time, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
hereunder, may exceed the Swing Line Commitment then in effect or such Swing Line Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swing
Line Lender shall not make, any Swing Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing
Line Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than
zero. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line
Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. Swing Line Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding
Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.7 Procedure for Swing Line Borrowing; Refunding of Swing Line Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under the Swing Line
Commitment on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, provided, the
Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable
telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by
the Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing
Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date. Each
borrowing under the Swing Line Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Borrowing Date specified in the borrowing notice in respect of any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line
Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in
immediately available funds equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent
shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender
to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swing Line Lender to the
Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Credit
Lender to make, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan
(which shall initially be a Base Rate Loan), in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded
Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender.
Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the
Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00
A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made immediately available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing
Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing Line
Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to
Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and
be continuing with respect to the Borrower, or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing
Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as contemplated by
Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan
was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b) (the
“Refunding Date”), purchase for Cash an undivided participating interest in the then
outstanding Swing Line Loans by paying to the Swing Line Lender an amount (the “Swing Line
Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage
times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding
which were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Credit
Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to
such Revolving Credit Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating
interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect
such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due);

 

40

 

provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing
Line Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line
Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. If any amount
required to be paid by any Revolving Credit Lender to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the Swing Line Lender, pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(c) in respect of
any Swing Line Loan is not paid to the Swing Line Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, the Swing Line Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, who shall
notify such Revolving Credit Lender and such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender on demand (and thereafter the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender) an amount equal to the product of
(i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from
and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the Swing Line Lender, times (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or
Section 2.7(c) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Swing Line Lender, by such Revolving Credit Lender within three Business Days after the date such
payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Revolving Credit Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated
from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
Facility.

(e) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section
2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving
Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii)
any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Revolving Credit Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) The Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans if (i) any
Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or (ii) if the Swing Line Lender, in
its reasonable discretion, determines that there may be a risk of any Revolving Credit Lender
becoming a Defaulting Lender, unless, in either case, the Swing Line Lender has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s actual or
potential Fronting Exposure with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender, including by cash
collateralizing such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the outstanding Swing
Line Loans (such arrangements, the “Swing Line Back-Stop Arrangements”).

2.8 Incremental Loans.

(a) Borrower may at any time, by notice to Administrative Agent, request that, subject to the
following conditions and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, Lenders and/or New Lenders
provide (w) one or more term loan facilities (the “Incremental Term Facilities”), (x) one
or more delayed draw term loan facilities (the “Incremental Delayed Draw Term Facilities”),
(y) additional Revolving Credit Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Credit
Commitments”) and/or (z) one or more additional revolving credit facilities (the

Incremental Delayed Draw Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments,
collectively, the “Incremental Facilities” and individually an “Incremental
Facility”); provided, that on the date that any such Incremental Facility becomes
effective (the “Incremental Facility Effective Date”): (i) no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or result from such Incremental Facility and/or the
Incremental Loans made pursuant to such Incremental Facility; (ii) after giving effect to all
Incremental Loans made under such Incremental Facility of the applicable Incremental Facility
Effective Date, the Borrower will be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the provisions of
Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(b) (determined as of the last day of the most recent
fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to be delivered under Section
6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) as if such Incremental Loans had been funded and the
application of such proceeds had occurred on such last day); (iii) the terms of such Incremental
Facility and the applicable Incremental Loans are in compliance with Section 2.8(c) below;
(iv) the Borrower shall have received all approvals from all applicable Governmental Authorities
necessary or, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, advisable in connection with such
Incremental Facility; (v) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a legal
opinion of each such special or local counsel as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent with respect to such Incremental Facility and the applicable Incremental Facility Amendments;
(vi) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent title and extended coverage
insurance for each real property Collateral covering the amount of such Incremental Facility
containing such endorsements and affirmative coverage as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request; (vii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall execute conforming amendments to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Incremental Facility
Amendments”) to reflect such Incremental Facility without the consent of any Lender, including,
without limitation, to provide for the terms set forth in the Incremental Facility Activation
Notice described below or Section 2.8(c); and (viii) the Incremental Facility Effective
Date shall not occur prior to five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by
the Administrative Agent) after the date which the Administrative Agent receives the Incremental
Facility Activation Notice.

(b) Upon receipt of such notice and an officer’s certificate as to the satisfaction of the
foregoing conditions, the Administrative Agent shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
arrange for Lenders or New Lenders to provide such Incremental Facilities. Alternatively, any
Lender may commit to provide the full amount of any requested Incremental Facility and then offer
portions of such Incremental Facility to the other Lenders or other financial institutions, subject
to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this paragraph or otherwise in
this Agreement is intended or will be required to commit any Lender or any Agent to provide any
portion of any such additional Incremental Facility.

 

42

 

(c) The Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with
the Revolving Loans; (ii) shall not mature earlier than six months after the Revolving Credit
Termination Date if they are Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans (but
may, subject to clause (iii) below, have amortization prior to such date) and shall not mature
prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date if they are Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments
or Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities; (iii) shall not have a weighted average life that is
shorter than the then-remaining weighted average life of the then outstanding Incremental Term
Loans or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, if any; and (iv) except as set forth above, shall be
treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans or
other Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, as applicable (in each case,
including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments); provided, that (x) if the
Applicable Margin relating to any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Facility (as adjusted for upfront fees payable to the Lenders and original issue discount with
respect to such Incremental Facility) exceeds the Applicable Margin relating to the Incremental
Term Loans and the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of
the applicable Incremental Facility Amendments by more than 0.25%, the Applicable Margin relating
to the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans then outstanding shall be
adjusted to an amount equal to the Applicable Margin of the Incremental Loans (as such Applicable
Margin is adjusted to reflect for upfront fees payable to the Lenders and original issue discount
of the Incremental Loans) minus 0.25%, or (y) if the Applicable Margin (as adjusted for
upfront fees payable to the Lenders and original issue discount with respect to such Incremental
Facility) relating to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Revolving
Facility that have a maturity date that is earlier than six months after the Revolving Credit
Termination Date exceeds the Applicable Margin relating to the Revolving Credit Loans immediately
prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendments by more than 0.50%,
the Applicable Margin relating to the Revolving Credit Facility and any Incremental Revolving
Credit Facility then outstanding shall be adjusted to an amount equal to the Applicable Margin of
the Incremental Loans (as such Applicable Margin is adjusted to reflect for upfront fees payable to
the Lenders and original issue discount of the Incremental Facility) minus 0.50%.

(d) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) that agree to provide any
Incremental Facility shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Facility
Activation Notice specifying, in compliance with Section 2.8(c): (i) the amount of the
Incremental Loans and the Incremental Facility or Incremental Facilities involved; (ii) the
applicable Incremental Facility Effective Date which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the maturity
date for the Incremental Loans made pursuant to such Incremental Facility or Incremental
Facilities; (iv) the amortization schedule for the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Delayed

institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a “Lender” under this
Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.8(c) shall execute a
New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-2, whereupon (x) such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New
Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party
hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and (y) the
Incremental Loans shall be treated as “Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement, other than
for purposes of the provisions of this Agreement specifically modified or addressed in the
Incremental Facility Activation Notice.

2.9 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender, Swing Line Lender, Incremental Term Lender or
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of
each Revolving Credit Loan on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swing Line Loan on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (iii) the principal amount
of each Incremental Term Loan of such Incremental Term Lender in installments according to the
amortization schedule set forth in the Incremental Facility Activation Notice with respect to the
applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility and (iv) the principal amount of each Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Loan of such Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender in installments according to the
amortization schedule set forth in the Incremental Facility Activation Notice with respect to
applicable Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date
hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in
Section 2.16.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant
to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan
and each 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) both the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each
Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 2.9(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the
Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the
Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower
evidencing any Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans,
or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit
I-1, I-2, I-3 or I-4, respectively (an “Incremental Term Note”,
an

 

44

 

“Incremental Delayed Draw Term Note”, a “Revolving Credit Note”, or a
“Swing Line Note”, respectively), with appropriate insertions as to the date and principal
amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the making
of Loans on a Borrowing Date.

2.10 Commitment Fees, etc.

(a) Revolving Credit Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee for the
period from and including the Effective Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment

average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period
for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of
such dates to occur after the date hereof.

the Administrative Agent.

2.11 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ irrevocable
notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the date and amount of
such commitment reduction), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time,
reduce the unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (i) no such termination or
reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to
any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date
thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitments, (ii) each such reduction shall be applied ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders
to permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) the reduction to the aggregate
Available Revolving Credit Commitments shall in no case be in an amount which would cause the
Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender to be reduced by an amount which exceeds the Available
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender as in effect immediately before giving effect to such
reduction.

(b) Each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date.

 

45

 

2.12 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to
the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans
and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall
specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is of Incremental Term
Loans, Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment
is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that (i) if a Eurodollar Loan is
prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower
shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.22, and (ii) no prior notice is
required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
together with (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line
Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Incremental
Term Loans, Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line
Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

2.13 Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.

(a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, upon any sale, issuance or
incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 7.2) by
the Borrower, then upon receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale, issuance or incurrence,
the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash
Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.13(e).

(b) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, on any date the Borrower or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the
Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash
Proceeds, which prepayments and reductions shall be applied as set forth in Section
2.13(e); provided, that:

(i) if (x) no Default or Event of Default would exist or arise therefrom and (y) not
later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the receipt by the Borrower of the Net
Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a
Reinvestment Notice stating the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds which is intended to be
used to acquire assets useful in the business of the Borrower or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary prior to the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to such Reinvestment
Notice, then the amount set forth in such Reinvestment Notice as intended to be reinvested
shall not be required to be applied as set forth in this Section 2.13(b);

 

46

 

(ii) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of Collateral, the
assets in which such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested must also be Collateral; and

(iii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in assets in
accordance with the applicable Reinvestment Notice (and in the case of Net Cash Proceeds
from an Asset Sale of Collateral, in compliance with clause (ii) above) on or prior to the
applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date, such remaining portion shall be applied on the
applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date to prepay Incremental Term Loans and/or the
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and/or to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments, all
in accordance with Section 2.13(e).

(c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, on any date the Borrower or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event, the
Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid, and/or the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash
Proceeds, which prepayments and reductions shall be applied as set forth in Section
2.13(e); provided, that

(i) if (x) no Default or Event of Default would exist or arise therefrom and (y) not
later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the receipt by the Borrower of the Net
Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event, Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent
a Reinvestment Notice stating the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds which is intended to be
used to acquire assets useful in the business of the Borrower or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary prior to the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to such Reinvestment
Notice, then the amount set forth in such Reinvestment Notice as intended to be reinvested
shall not be required to be applied as set forth in this Section 2.13(c);

(ii) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are from a Recovery Event with respect to
Collateral, the assets in which such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested must also be
Collateral; and

(iii) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested in assets in
accordance with the applicable Reinvestment Notice (and in the case of Net Cash Proceeds
from a Recovery Event with respect to Collateral, in compliance with clause (ii) above) on
or prior to the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date, such remaining portion shall be
applied on the applicable Reinvestment Prepayment Date to prepay Incremental Term Loans
and/or the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and/or to reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments, all in accordance with Section 2.13(e); provided,
however, that if any portion has not been used prior to the applicable Reinvestment
Prepayment Date and Borrower is diligently pursuing the reinvestment of such amount, then
such application of the remaining portion shall not be required for so long as such
reinvestment is being diligently pursued.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 2.13(b) and Section 2.13(c), up
to $50,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales and Recovery Events received by Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries from and after January 1, 2011, shall be excluded from the
mandatory prepayment provisions contained in Section 2.13(b) and Section 2.13(c).

 

47

 

(d) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, commencing with fiscal year
2011, if there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date,
the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be prepaid and/or the
Revolving Loans shall be prepaid (without any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments), by an
amount equal to 50% of such Excess Cash Flow, as set forth in Section 2.13(e). Each such
prepayment and commitment reduction shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application
Date”) no later than five (5) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial
statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect
to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date
such financial statements are actually delivered.

(e) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Commitment reductions made
pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2.13 shall be allocated,
first, if any Incremental Term Facility or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Facility is then
outstanding, pro rata to such Incremental Facility or Facilities, to be applied (x) with respect to
any Incremental Term Facility, for the benefit of all Incremental Term Lenders in accordance with
their respective Incremental Term Percentages as a prepayment towards the Incremental Term Loans
and (y) with respect to any Incremental Delayed Draw Term Facility, the then unfunded Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Commitments will be reduced by the lesser of the amount of such prepayment
allocated to the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Facility and the then amount of the unfunded
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments, and if the amount of such prepayment applied to such
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Facility is greater than the then unfunded Incremental Delayed Draw
Term Commitments, such excess shall be allocated, for the benefit of all applicable Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Percentages as a prepayment towards the funded Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, and
second, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i)
the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be required to be reduced below $200,000,000 and (ii)
the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be required to be reduced in connection with any
prepayments under clause (d) of this Section 2.13. Any such reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing
Line Loans to the extent, if any, that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the amount
of the Total Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced, provided that if the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans then outstanding is less than the
amount of such excess (because L/C Obligations constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall,
to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit
an amount in Cash into a cash collateral account subject to documentation reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

 

48

 

(f) The Borrower shall provide each of the Incremental Term Lenders and the Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Lenders with five (5) Business Days prior written notice of each such prepayment
and any Incremental Term Lender or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender, at its option, may elect,
so long as there are any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding,
not to accept its ratable portion of such prepayment in which event the provisions of the next
sentence shall apply. Any Incremental Term Lender or
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender declining such prepayment (each such Lender being a
“Declining Term Loan Lender” and the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such
prepayment being the “Declined Term Amount”) shall give written notice to the
Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit Q (each, a “Declining Lender
Notice”), by 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on which such prepayment would otherwise be made, and then the Declined Term Amount for all
Declining Term Loan Lenders may be retained by the Borrower; provided, that if part or all
of a Declined Term Amount consists of proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Collateral
(“Collateral Proceeds”), the portion of any Declined Term Amount that consists of
Collateral Proceeds shall be paid to all Lenders that are not Declining Term Loan Lenders (the
“Accepting Term Loan Lenders,” and each such Accepting Term Loan Lender being an
“Accepting Term Loan Lender”) on a pro rata basis based upon the total amount outstanding
(including all accrued but unpaid interest) then owed by Borrower to each such Accepting Term Loan
Lender along with any prepayment amount to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.13;
provided, further, that in the event that the Collateral Proceeds exceed the total
amount owed to Accepting Term Loan Lenders following mandatory prepayments under this Section
2.13 (other than the Collateral Proceeds), such amount shall be returned to the Borrower.

2.14 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such
election, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may be made only on the
last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three
Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of
the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular
Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such
Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or (ii)
after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such
Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.

(b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”
set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to
such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued
as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent
has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their
sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to
the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided,
further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in
this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such
Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring
Interest Period. Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof.

 

49

 

2.15 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional
prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and
be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen
Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.16 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day
plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in
effect for such day.

(c) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or the amount of any Reimbursement
Obligation or the amount of any other obligation hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at
the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such unpaid amount (to the extent legally
permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (i) in the case of the Loans,
the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.16 plus 2% or (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations or any other
obligations hereunder, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility
plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such
non-payment until the date such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on
demand.

2.17 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of
a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which
interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on
the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of
each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from
a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and
the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 

50

 

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver
to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.16(a).

2.18 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest
Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in
respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively
certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest
Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower
and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any
Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest
Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to
have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued
as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be
converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate
Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar
Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have
the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

2.19 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the
Commitments of the Lenders and, except as provided otherwise in Section 2.27, each payment
by the Borrower on account of any Commitment fee or Letter of Credit fee, shall be made pro rata
according to the respective Incremental Term Percentages, Incremental Delayed Draw Term Percentages
or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Each payment (other
than prepayments) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Incremental Term Loans and
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees payable hereunder shall be
applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the
respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Incremental Term Loans shall be allocated
among the Incremental Term Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of such Incremental Term
Loans held by such Incremental Term Lenders, and shall be applied pro rata to the installments of
such Incremental Term Loans; provided, however, that
subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(c), it shall not be a violation of this
Section 2.19(b) if the Borrower pays different interest rates on Incremental Term Loans
under different Incremental Term Facilities. Amounts prepaid on account of the Incremental Term
Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

51

 

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) of the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans shall
be allocated among the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount
of such Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans held by such Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders, and
shall be applied pro rata to the installments of such Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans;
provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(c), it
shall not be a violation of this Section 2.19(c) if the Borrower pays different interest
rates on Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans under different Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Facilities. Amounts prepaid on account of the Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be
reborrowed.

(d) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit
Lenders; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section
2.8(c), it shall not be a violation of this Section 2.19(d) if the Borrower pays
different interest rates on Revolving Credit Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Loans under
different Incremental Revolving Credit Facilities. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such
Letters of Credit.

(e) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and
mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and,
second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the
case of Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

(f) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars
and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day.
The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in
like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans)
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar
month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the
case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

52

 

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing
Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period
until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share
of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three
Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover
such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(h) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a
corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(i) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Obligations, interest and fees then due
hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then
due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
and unreimbursed L/C Obligations.

2.20 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to
the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof
(except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.21 and changes in the rate
of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

 

53

 

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination
of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which
such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar
Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender,
upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost
or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and setting forth
in such notice, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect
of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall set forth, in
reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the additional amount sought), the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as set forth in the aforesaid notice;
provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
clause (b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date on which such Lender
notified the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,
further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect,
then such six month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and setting forth, in
reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

 

54

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all requests, rules, guidelines or
directives under or issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and Basel III by United States regulatory authorities, the Bank for International
Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority)
shall be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under subsection (a) above and (b) above, as
applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

2.21 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account
of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by
any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net
income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection
between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such
tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such
connection arising solely from such Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from
any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or
such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder that would have been received hereunder or under any other Loan Document had such
withholding not been required; provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any
Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding
taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this
Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of
assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to such
Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a). The Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall
make any such required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority
or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

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

 

55

 

(c) Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within twenty (20) days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section 2.21) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender
and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto
(subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 2.21 and provided that this
Section 2.21(c) shall not apply to the extent that any such amounts are compensated for by
an increased payment under Section 2.21(a)). A certificate stating the amount of such
payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof delivered to
the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or
by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent
manifest error; provided, that if the Borrower objects to any payment or liability within
ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the Lender or the Administrative Agent shall work in
good faith with the Borrower to resolve any such objection

(d) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as
possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that
may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased) (i) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S.
federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit J and a Form W-8BEN,
or (iii) two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (together with forms listed under
clauses (i) or (ii) hereof, as may be required) or any subsequent versions thereof or successors
thereto, in each case, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming
complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the
Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to permit such Person to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes
a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver
such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such
Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines
that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower
(or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to
deliver.

 

56

 

(f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and
deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

2.22 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each
Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
(a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has
given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so
borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such
failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of
a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date
of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein
(excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount
of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the
interbank Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

2.23 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a)
the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such
and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s
Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate
Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans
or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto,
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to
Section 2.22.

 

57

 

2.24 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.20, Section 2.21(a) or Section
2.23 with
respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject
to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans
affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event;
provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender,
cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or
postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.20, Section 2.21(a) or Section 2.23.

2.25 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (a) requests reimbursement for amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.20(a) or Section 2.21(a), (b) is affected in the manner
described in Section 2.23 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such
Section 2.23 is required to be taken, (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (d) refuses to
consent to an amendment, modification or waiver pursuant to Section 10.1, then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the registration and
processing fee (if applicable), (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from such Assignee (to the
extent of such outstanding principal, accrued interest, fees and/or breakage costs) or the Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts), (iii) such Assignee is able to make, maintain or continue, as
applicable, Eurodollar Loans and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with any applicable Law. A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.26 Back-Stop Arrangements.

(a) Section 2.7 and Section 3.9 contemplate Back-Stop Arrangements in certain
circumstances to support the issuance of Letters of Credit and funding of Swing Line Loans. The
Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Revolving Credit Lender (which is provided solely at
the option of such Revolving Credit Lender), such Revolving Credit Lender, hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Revolving
Credit Lenders and the Swing Line Lender, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts
and all balances therein, and all other property provided as collateral pursuant to Section
2.7 and Section 3.9, and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be
maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. For the
avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any other Person may have a claim, by virtue of an
intercreditor arrangement, tag-along right or any other term in any other document or instrument,
to share in any Back-Stop Arrangement provided pursuant to any of the aforementioned sections of
this Agreement, the L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
may take such provisions into account in determining whether any Back-Stop Arrangement is
satisfactory.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Back-Stop
Arrangements provided by any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 or Section
3.9 to support the obligations of such Lender in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line
Loans shall be held and applied, first, to fund the participations of such Lender in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans, or such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of Revolving
Credit Loans used to repay L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans with respect to which Back-Stop
Arrangements were provided, as applicable, and, second, to fund any interest accrued for
the benefit of the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(d) or
Section 3.4(b) and Section 2.16(c) allocable to such Lender.

(c) Back-Stop Arrangements shall be released (except as the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing
Line Lender and the Person providing such Back-Stop Arrangements may agree otherwise (as
applicable)) promptly following the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of such Lender’s status
as a Defaulting Lender; (ii) following the applicable Issuing Lender’s or the Swing Line Lender’s
(as applicable) good faith determination that there remain outstanding no L/C Obligations or Swing
Line Loans, as applicable, as to which it has actual or potential Fronting Exposure in relation to
such Defaulting Lender as to which it desires to maintain Back-Stop Arrangements; or (iii)
following the replacement of such Lender as provided for in Section 2.25 of this Agreement
and the assumption of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments by the applicable replacement Lender.

2.27 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be
restricted as set forth in Section 10.1.

(b) Reallocation of Loan Payments. (i) Any payment or prepayment of any portion
of the principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender (whether voluntary or
mandatory, as a result of set-off, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise)
shall be applied, first, to the Revolving Credit Loans of other Lenders as if such
Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, until such time as the Revolving Credit
Extensions of each Revolving Credit Lender shall equal its Revolving Credit Percentage of
the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (without giving effect to Section 2.27(d))
ratably to the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit
Percentages of Revolving Credit Loans being repaid or prepaid; second, to the then
outstanding amounts (including interest thereon) owed under the terms hereof by such
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or (to the extent the Administrative Agent has
received notice thereof) to any other Lender, ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, and
third, to the posting of Cash Collateral in respect of its Revolving Credit
Percentage of the L/C Obligations and the Swing Line Loans, ratably to the Issuing Lenders
and the Swing Line Lender in accordance with their respective applicable Fronting Exposures,
and (ii) any other amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (including amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7) shall be
applied, first, to the liabilities above referred to in item second of clause
(i) above, and second, to the matters above referred to in item third of clause (i)
above. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender
that are reallocated to pay outstanding amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to provide
Back-Stop Arrangements pursuant to this Section 2.27(b) shall be deemed paid to such
Defaulting Lender, and each Lender hereby irrevocably consents thereto.

 

59

 

(c) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive
any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b) for any
period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be
required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to
such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall only be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to
Section 3.3(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only
to the extent allocable to its Revolving Credit Percentage of the stated amount Letters of
Credit for which Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements have been provided by such Lender
pursuant to Section 3.9, as applicable (and the Borrower shall (x) be required to
pay to each Issuing Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting
Exposure arising from such Defaulting Lender and (y) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such
Defaulting Lender).

(d) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During
any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender as to which the Issuing Lenders or the
Swing Line Lender (as applicable) has not received Back-Stop Arrangements acceptable to it
in respect of the related participation and funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender,
then for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to
acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant
to Section 2.4(b), Section 2.4(c) and Section 3.4, the “Revolving
Credit Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that in all
cases, the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive
difference, if any, between (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting
Lender and (2) the Revolving Extension of Credit of such Lender.

A Lender that has become a Defaulting Lender because of an event referenced in the definition of
Defaulting Lender may cure such status and shall no longer constitute a Defaulting Lender as a
result of such event when (i) such Defaulting Lender shall have fully funded or paid, as
applicable, all Loans, participations in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans or other
amounts required to be funded or paid by it hereunder as to which it is delinquent (together, in
each case, with such interest thereon as shall be required to be paid to any Person as otherwise
provided in this Agreement), (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have received a
certification by such Defaulting Lender of its ability and intent to comply with the provisions of
this Agreement going forward and (iii) each of (v) the Administrative Agent, (w) each Issuing
lender, (x) the Swing Line Lender, (y) any other Lender as to which a delinquent obligation was
owed and (z) in the case of the failure to fund any Loan, the Borrower, shall have determined (and
notified the Administrative Agent) that they are satisfied, in their sole discretion, that such
Defaulting Lender intends to continue to perform its obligations as a Lender hereunder and has all
approvals required to enable it, to continue to perform its obligations as a Lender hereunder. No
reference in this subsection to an event being “cured” shall preclude any claim by any Person
(including the Borrower) against any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender for such direct
damages as may otherwise be available to such Person arising from any failure to fund or pay any
amount when due hereunder or from any other event that gives rise to any Lender becoming a
Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the
agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to
issue standby letters of credit and, to the extent available from such Issuing Lender, commercial
letters of credit (collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower
on any Business Day from the Effective Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in such
form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing
Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such
issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of
the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall
(A) be denominated in Dollars and (B) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary
of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit
Termination Date; provided, that 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
referred to in clause (y) above). The parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit
shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under and pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3.1(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of
which, when added to the L/C Obligations then outstanding (in each case exclusive of Payment
Amounts which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of
Credit) at such time would exceed (x) the L/C Commitment and (y) when added to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans and all Swing Line Loans then
outstanding, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder
if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed
any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

 

61

 

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time
request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and
the Administrative Agent at their addresses for notices specified herein an Application therefor,
completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and
other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application,
an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the
certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection
therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit
requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as
otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any
Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after
receipt by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of the Application therefor and all
such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly
after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy
of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Lender shall
promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by
such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit in consideration of the L/C Participations noted in Section 3.4 below at a per annum
rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee
Payment Date after the issuance date; provided, however, any such fee otherwise
payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which
such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral or other credit support arrangements
satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.1(c) shall be payable, to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Revolving Lenders in accordance with
the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Credit Percentages allocable to such Letter of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.27(d), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the
applicable L/C Issuer for its own account. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant
Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee (in an amount to be agreed to by the Borrower and
such Issuing Lender) on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued
by it, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June,
September and December, and the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender
for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender
in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.

 

62

 

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant,
and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing
Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and
risk, a participation interest as described below. Each L/C Participant shall be deemed to have
irrevocably accepted and purchased from such Issuing Lender and hereby accepts and purchases from
each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest
equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations
and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of
each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, upon demand at the Administrative
Agent’s Payment Office (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing
Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such
draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Upon any change in the respective Revolving
Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, it
is hereby agreed that, with respect to all such outstanding Letters of Credit and, in each case,
any related Payment Amounts, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant
to this Section 3.4 to reflect the new Revolving Credit Percentages of the assignor and
assignee Lender or of all Lenders with respective Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of an Issuing Lender, pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed
portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such
Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender
shall so notify the Administrative Agent, who shall notify such L/C Participant and such L/C
Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender on demand
(and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal
to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective
Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which
such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of
which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such
Issuing Lender, by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is
due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from
such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at
the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. A
certificate the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of such Issuing Lender submitted to any
L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from the Administrative Agent or any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such
payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related
to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof,
such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C
Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such L/C Participant), its
pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any
such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing
Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such
Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender),
the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

 

63

 

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each
Issuing Lender, on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and
amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the
amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses
incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the
foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment
Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices
specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available
funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing
until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date
of the applicable drawing, Section 2.16(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.16(c).
Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i)
or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower,
in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall
apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.5 of Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing
Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.7 of Swing Line
Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be
the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line Loans)
could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the
Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent
receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing
Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with
each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things,
the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents
shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the
Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice,
however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found
by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit
issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and
shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

 

64

 

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and
amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection
with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment
obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be
limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of
Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any
Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of
this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9 Lender Defaults. No Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit if (a) any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or (b) such
Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, determines that there may be a risk of one or more
Revolving Credit Lenders becoming a Defaulting Lender(s), unless, in either case, such Issuing
Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender and the Borrower to
eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Revolving Credit Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit Percentage of L/C Obligations then outstanding (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit
Back-Stop Arrangements”).

SECTION 4.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and
issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to each
Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition.

consolidating statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years
ended on such dates, (in the case of consolidated financial statements, reported on by and
accompanied by an unqualified report from a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent
certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) in each case,
present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such
date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules
and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout
the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed
therein).

 

65

 

(c) The unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower as of March
31, 2011, and as of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are required to
be delivered under Section 6.1(b) and the related consolidated and consolidating statements

ended on such dates, in each case, present fairly the consolidated and consolidating financial
condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated and
consolidating results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal
period then ended (subject to year end adjustments). All such financial statements, including the
related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of
accountants and disclosed therein).

(d) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations,
contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases other than those not
prohibited hereunder or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including, without limitation,
any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect
of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this
Section 4.1.

4.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2010 there has been no development or event that
has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Organizational Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Immaterial Subsidiaries, (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the
organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease
the Property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged,
(c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction
where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Organizational Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has
the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan
Party has taken all necessary corporate or other action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to
authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or the
execution, delivery,

 

66

 

performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices
which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect; and certain consents,
authorization, filings and notices specifically identified on Schedule 4.4 which have not
been obtained, but have been requested and are anticipated to be received in the due course of
business of the applicable party from whom such consent or authorization has been requested and
(ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and Section 6.11. Each Loan Document
has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This
Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid
and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such
Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by
proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any
Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues
pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created
by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, action, suit, investigation or proceeding
of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their
respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except proceedings of the Gaming Boards identified on
Schedule 4.4, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under
or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has marketable and insurable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its
material real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material
Property, and the Property is not subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

4.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries own, or are
licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of their business as
currently conducted, taken as a whole. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any
Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or
effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property in a manner that reasonably could be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis
for any such claim. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect in a manner that
reasonably could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

67

 

4.10 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or
caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed
and has paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments
made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or
any of its Property by any Governmental Authority (other than those with respect to which the
amount or validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and no tax Lien, other than Liens permitted under
Section 7.3(a), has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being
asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for
“purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (within the respective meanings of each of the quoted
terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect) in a manner that is in
violation of any of the Regulations of the Board or for any purpose that otherwise violates the
provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the
foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable,
referred to in Regulation U.

4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that
(individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with
such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account
of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a liability

Section 302 or 303 of ERISA or (iii) any “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of
Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) with respect to any Plan has occurred during the
five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect
to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code except where such noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in

assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Except those arising
out of the operations of the Atlantic City Entities (which arose prior to January 1, 2010 and all
of the related liabilities have been paid), neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor
any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the
Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer
Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made
or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the

Indebtedness.

of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Immaterial Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(b) As of the Effective Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants,
calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options, restricted stock and

Borrower, subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments to

any Subsidiary, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.15(b).

disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any

transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date
such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (giving effect to any updates
and/or supplements which were provided prior to the date of making this representation), any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the

future events, they are inherently uncertain and actual results during the period or periods
covered by such projections may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material
amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents
or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Agents and the Lenders for
use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

Collateral shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title
and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the

Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3).

 

71

be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate;
and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare
the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this
Agreement and the other Loan

 

100

 

Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts of L/C
Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have
presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same
shall immediately become due and payable. In the case of all Letters of Credit with respect to
which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this
paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such
Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused
portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if
any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all
Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in
such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be
lawfully entitled thereto).

SECTION 9.

THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as
the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender
irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against
any Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of
the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under
or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

 

101

 

9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by
such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and
all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required
Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of
Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred
by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the
Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so
specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by
this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

102

 

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate
of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans or other credit advances hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to
the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or
any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as
such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the
Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect
on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought
after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid
in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such
date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment
of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though
such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to
any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its
individual capacity.

 

103

 

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent and Successor Swing Line Lender.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice (such 10
day period, the “Notice Period”) to the Lenders and the Borrower (the “Administrative
Agent Resignation”). The Administrative Agent may be removed (i) with or without cause, upon
the affirmative vote of the Supermajority Lenders to remove the Administrative Agent and the
consent of Borrower, in each case in writing, or (ii) for so long as the Administrative Agent or
any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, upon the affirmative vote of the
Required Lenders to remove the Administrative Agent and the consent of the Borrower, in each case
in writing (each of clause (i) and (ii), an “Administrative Agent Removal”). In
the event of an Administrative Agent Resignation or an Administrative Agent Removal, the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor
agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with
respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the
Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event of an
Administrative Agent Resignation, if no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of
the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Effective upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the
Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the
Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective
upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties
as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part
of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the effective
date of the removal of the Administrative Agent pursuant to an Administrative Agent Removal, or by
the end of the Notice Period in the case of an Administrative Agent Resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and
the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After
any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, upon its
resignation or removal as set forth in this section), the provisions of this Section 9
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) If the Administrative Agent is the Swing Line Lender or is an Affiliate of the Swing Line
Lender, then (i) any Administrative Agent Resignation or Administrative Agent Removal shall also
constitute the resignation or removal of the Swing Line Lender, and (ii) any successor
Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section shall, upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Swing Line Lender for all purposes hereunder. In such event, (A)
Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by (x) the resigning Administrative
Agent in its capacity as Swing Line Lender, on or prior to the end of the Notice Period, in the
case of an Administrative Agent Resignation, and (y) the removed Administrative Agent in its
capacity as Swing Line Lender as a condition to the effectiveness of the removal of the
Administrative Agent, in the case of an Administrative Agent Removal, (B) upon such prepayment, the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note
held by it to Borrower for cancellation and (C) Borrower shall issue, if so requested by successor
Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Administrative
Agent and Swing Line Lender.

 

104

 

(c) If the Administrative Agent is an Issuing Lender or is an Affiliate of an Issuing Lender,
then any Administrative Agent Resignation or Administrative Agent Removal shall also constitute the
resignation or removal of such Issuing Lender. In such event, (i) such Issuing Lender shall no
longer be obligated to issue additional Letters of Credit, (ii) in the case of an Administrative
Agent Removal only, Borrower shall either deliver the originals of all outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender to such Issuing Lender or enter into arrangements with respect
to such outstanding Letters of Credit as may be satisfactory to such Issuing Lender as a condition
to the effectiveness of the removal of the Administrative Agent and (iii) for so long as such
Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Issuing Lender shall continue to have all of the rights
and obligations of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to such Letters of Credit issued by it
prior to its resignation or removal.

9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees and Execute SNDAs. The
Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders (a) to effect any
release of Liens or guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 10.15, and (b) upon
request of
the Borrower, to execute and deliver subordination and non-disturbance agreements whereby the
Administrative Agent agrees not to disturb the rights of a counterparty to a Hotel Agreement absent
default by such party thereunder, and such party agrees that its rights under such Hotel Agreement
shall be subordinate to the Liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents.

9.11 The Arrangers. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement the
Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Senior Managing Agents shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, and neither shall incur liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

9.12 Withholding. To the extent required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent
may withhold from any payment to any Lender or other Person receiving payment under the Loan
Documents an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service
or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or other Person receiving
payment under the Loan Documents because such Lender or other Person failed to notify the
Administrative Agent that withholding on payments was required, including, without limitation,
because of a change in circumstances which rendered an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully
for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise,
including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses incurred.

 

105

 

SECTION 10.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor
any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant
Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Agents and each Loan
Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments,
supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and
restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties
hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the
instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any
Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such
waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any
Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in
respect of any Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan, reduce the
stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any
payment thereof (including modifying the definition of the term “Interest Period” so as to
permit intervals in excess of six months), or increase
the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, in each case
without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage
specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Required Prepayment Lenders, consent to
the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release or subordinate all or substantially all of
the Collateral or release or subordinate all or substantially all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case
without the consent of all Lenders;

(iii) amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of credit under
the Revolving Credit Facility set forth in Section 5.2 (including, without
limitation, the waiver of an existing Default or Event of Default required to be waived in
order for such extension of credit to be made) without the consent of any Majority Revolving
Credit Facility Lenders;

(iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders
with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the consent of
any Agent directly affected thereby;

(vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or Section 2.7
without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender;

 

106

 

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.19 or Section
2.13 without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the consent of
the Issuing Lender; or

(ix) impose restrictions on assignments and participations that are more restrictive
than, or additional to, those set forth in Section 10.6.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of
the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future
holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents
shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any
right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected
by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed signature page of any such
instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall
have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of
all Lenders may be effected with the consent of all Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except
that (x) no Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may be increased or extended without the consent of
such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or other modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than
other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or
amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and each Loan Party to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the “Additional
Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with the Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving
Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include
appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required
Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share
ratably with or with preference to the Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without
the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an amendment to this Agreement
entered into in connection with the establishment of the Incremental Loans pursuant to Section
2.8 shall not require the approval of the Lenders and shall be effective upon the execution of
an amendment (consistent with the terms of Section 2.8) of this Agreement between
Administrative Agent and Borrower.

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered

10.5 Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for
all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication
of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation
and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the
consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the charges of
Intralinks, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees
and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the
Agents, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender
and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities
with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any,
which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of,
or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each
Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including,
without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the
operations of the Borrower any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and the fees and
disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in 

 

109

 

connection with claims, actions or proceedings
by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all
 the foregoing in this clause (d),
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall have
no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent
such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized
persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other
information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the
foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to
cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to
waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims,
demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind
or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than 30 days after written demand therefore. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall be submitted to Lewis Fanger (Telephone No. (702) 541-7777) (Fax No. (702) 541-7778),
at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or
address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent.
The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the
Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns,
except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at
any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities other than a
Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (each, a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of
such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In
the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain
the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to
approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. The Borrower agrees
that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have
been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the

 

110

 

right
of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the
same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender
under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such
Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as
provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The
Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.20, Section 2.21 and Section 2.22 with respect to its participation in the
Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender;
provided, that in the case of Section 2.21, such Participant shall have complied
with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further, that no Participant
shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor
Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each
Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans (or other
rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan (or other right or obligation)
hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by an Agent at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written
notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any
affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit
Commitments, the written consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender (which, in each
case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided (x) that no such consent
need be obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates; (y) the consent of the
Borrower need not be obtained with respect to any assignment of Incremental Term Loans or
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and (z) and the Borrower consent shall be deemed to have been
given unless an objection is delivered to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
after notice of a proposed assignment is received by the Borrower), to an additional bank,
financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee
and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower or, the Agents or the Issuing Lender or
the Swing Line Lender is required pursuant to the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such
other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register; provided, that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender, Related
Fund or any affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 as
to the Revolving Credit Facility, $1,000,000 as to the Incremental Term Facility or the Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Facility (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests
under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any
such assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities, but shall be a 

 

111

 

ratable portion of each
Facility so assigned. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the
 effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein,
and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor
shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.20, Section 2.21 and
Section 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any
provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment
that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For
purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two
or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address
referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. In
addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the
designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent
and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the
Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any
assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon
appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note
shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by
a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or
transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and
Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued
to the designated Assignee, and the old Notes shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower marked “canceled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any
Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. A list of current Lenders will be made available for
any Lender who requests same while any amendment to this Agreement is pending.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee
(and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by
each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and
processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related
Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable
in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender
or a Person under common management with a Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly
accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto
record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and
recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense,
upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving
Credit Note, Incremental Term Note and/or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be,
of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note, Incremental Term Note and/or Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the

 

112

 

Revolving Credit Commitment, Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment
and Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment,
Incremental Term Loan and/or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment and Incremental Delayed Draw
Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note, Incremental Term Note
and/or Incremental Delayed Draw Term Note, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an
amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment, Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Commitment and Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it
hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the
form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of
this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that
such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes,
including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, or, in the case of a Lender which is a
fund, to any holders of obligations owned or securities issued by such Lender or to any trustee
for, or other representatives of, such holders. No such assignments creating security interest
shall require the consent or approval of either the Administrative Agent or
Borrower (provided, however, any absolute assignments do require such consent and approval as
provided in this Section 10.6).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such
in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that
(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the
Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a
Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no
SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with
notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans
to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or
maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating
to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided, that non-public information with
respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be
unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any
SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment.

 

113

 

(h) No such assignment shall be made (i) without the consent of the Required Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and cancellation of the Commitments and Obligations assigned with such
consent, to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (ii) to any Defaulting
Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would
constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii), or (iii) to a natural
person. Any Commitments or Obligations assigned (with or without Required Lender consent) to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower shall be deemed cancelled and no longer
outstanding and no such assignee shall have any right whatsoever with respect to that portion of
the Commitments or Obligations so assigned, including to (x) consent to any amendment,
modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan
Document, or otherwise to vote on any matter related to any Loan Document or require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with
respect to any Loan Document, (y) attend any meeting with the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or receive any information from any Agent or any Lender, or to the benefit
of any advice provided by counsel to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders or to challenge
the attorney-client privilege of the communications between the Administrative Agent, such other
Lenders and such counsel, or (z) make or bring any claim, in the capacity of a Lender, against the
Administrative Agent with respect to the duties of the Administrative Agent to such assignee.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a
particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited
Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it,
or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise),
in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if
any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for Cash
from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s
Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall
be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if all or
any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender,
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of
such recovery, but without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 10.7(a) shall
not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and
in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising
from the Back-Stop Arrangements), (y) the application of proceeds of Back-Stop Arrangements in
respect of obligations relating to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans (including related Lender
participation obligations) provided for in Section 2.26, or (z) any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Commitments,
Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of
this Section 10.7(a) shall apply unless such assignment is made with the consent of the
Required Lenders.

 

114

 

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the
Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at
any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.27 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other
funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y)
the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative
Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting
Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page
of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the
parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions
of this Section 10.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined
in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swing Line Lender, as
applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

115

 

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Borrower, the Agents, the Arranger and the Lenders with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by the Arranger, any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth
or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding shall be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address
of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.

10.13 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Arranger, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty
to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, and the relationship between the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and
the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and
creditor; and

 

116

 

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arranger, the Agents and the Lenders or
among the Borrower and the Lenders.

10.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential
all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is
designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent
any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arranger, any Agent, any
other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant, pledgee or Assignee (each, a
“Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this
Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents,
attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (d) to any financial institution that is a
direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s
professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such
contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the
request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any
order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been
publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with
the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence or any other express or implied agreement,
arrangement or understanding, the parties hereto hereby agree that, from the commencement of
discussions with respect to the financing provided hereunder, any party hereto (and each of its
employees, representatives, or agents) is permitted to disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax structure and tax aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby,
and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) related to such tax
structure and tax aspects.

10.15 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property permitted by the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall timely, and in no event later than thirty (30) days
following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice of such disposition (without notice to,
or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified
Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in any
Collateral being Disposed of in such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations under
any Loan Document of any Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to
permit consummation of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.

 

117

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when
all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement and
indemnification obligations which are not then due and payable) have been paid in full, all
Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (without notice to, or vote or consent of,
any Lender, or any affiliate of any Lender that is a party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take
such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to
release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such
release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such
release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee
obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the
Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined
below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial
covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to
equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating
the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such
Accounting Changes had not been made. Until such time as such an
amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue
to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Changes had not occurred. “Accounting Change”
refers to (a) any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule,
regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if applicable, the SEC, the Borrower’s manner of
accounting addressed in the preferability letter from the Borrower’s independent auditors to the
Borrower in order for such auditor to deliver an opinion to the Borrower’s financial statements
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 without qualification.

10.17 Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a party to this
Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender,
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.18 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

 

118

 

10.19 USA Patriot Act Notification. The Lenders hereby notify the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
on October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), the Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act. The Borrower agrees to cooperate with each Lender with respect to the requirements
of the Act and to provide true, accurate and complete information to each Lender in response to any
request relating thereto.

10.20 Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws. Any other provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, all rights, remedies and powers provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to the Collateral, may be exercised
only to the extent, and in the manner, that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable
Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws, and only to the extent that required approvals, including prior
approvals are obtained from the requisite Gaming Boards and Liquor Authorities. Further, all
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including with respect to the
Collateral, are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws
and Liquor Laws and to be limited solely to the extent necessary to not render the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.
Administrative Agent will timely apply for and receive all required approvals, and otherwise comply
with all rules and regulations, of the applicable Gaming Board and Liquor Authorities for the sale
or other disposition of any Collateral, including, without limitation, any interest in any
Restricted Subsidiary holding a Gaming License, Liquor License or any gaming property or equipment
regulated by Gaming Laws (including any gaming equipment consisting of slot machines, gaming
tables, cards, dice, gaming chips, player tracking systems, and all other “gaming devices,”
associated equipment,” “mobile gaming systems” and “interactive gaming
systems” (as each of the foregoing terms or words of like import referring thereto are defined
in the applicable Gaming Laws)).

Changes in the Applicable Margin and the Commitment Fee Rate resulting from changes in the
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date (the “Adjustment
Date”) on which financial statements are delivered or required to be delivered to the Lenders
pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement (but in any event
not later than the 45th day after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each
fiscal year or the 90th day after the end of each fiscal year, as the case may be) and shall remain
in effect until the next change to be effected pursuant to this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be greater than 5.00:1 but less
than or equal to 5.50:1 from the Effective Date to the date on which the financial statements are
delivered or required to be delivered to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement for the fiscal
period ended at least three full months after the Effective Date. If any financial statements
referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified above, then, until such
financial statements are delivered, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as at the end of the
fiscal period that would have been covered thereby shall for the purposes of this definition be the
highest level for all pricing grids.

In the event that any financial statement or any Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement is shown to be inaccurate, and
such inaccuracy, if corrected would have led to a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an
“Applicable Period”) than such margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the
Borrower shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a corrected Compliance Certificate for
such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the
corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall the Lenders owe any amounts to the
Borrower), and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent the additional
interest owing as a result of such increased margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall
be promptly applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof (it being
understood and agreed that nothing in this section shall limit the rights of Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereunder).

All of the aforedescribed Property shall remain so specially mortgaged, affected and
hypothecated or, as set forth above, collaterally assigned or pledged, unto and in favor of
Beneficiary until the full and final payment, performance and observance of the Secured Obligations

With respect to the proceeds attributable to the insured loss of all or any part of the
Property referred to in (i) above and in Section 5.5 hereof, this Mortgage is a collateral
assignment thereof pursuant to La. R.S. § 9:5386 et seq., whether such proceeds or any of them now
exist or arise in the future, and Trustor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint
Beneficiary and the agents of Beneficiary as the true and lawful mandataries and attorneys-in-fact
of Trustor to carry out and enforce all of the proceeds hereby collaterally assigned, subject to
the Credit Agreement. The mandatory and attorney-in-fact designation set forth in the preceding
sentence shall be coupled with an interest and may not be revoked by Trustor so long as this
Mortgage remains in effect. Such proceeds shall otherwise be included in the term “Property,” for
all purposes of this Mortgage. The collateral assignment herein made of the aforesaid proceeds
shall not be construed as imposing upon Beneficiary any obligations with respect thereto unless and
until Beneficiary shall become the absolute owner thereof and Trustor shall have been wholly
dispossessed thereof.

Trustor shall and will warrant and forever defend the Property and the quiet and peaceable
possession of the Beneficiary, its successors and assigns against all and every person or persons
lawfully claiming or to claim the whole or any part thereof. Trustor agrees that any greater title
to the Property hereafter acquired by Trustor during the term hereof shall be subject hereto.

1.2 Secured Obligations.

1.2.1 Trustor makes the mortgage, hypothecation, pledge, grant, transfer and assignment set
forth in Section 1.1 and the assignment set forth in Article 2 and grants the security interest set
forth in Article 3 for the purpose of securing payment and performance of the following obligations
(collectively, the “Secured Obligations”) in any order of priority that Beneficiary may
choose:

(a) The payment and performance of all indebtedness and other obligations of Trustor
under the Subsidiary Guaranty;

 

 

 

(b) The payment and performance of all obligations of Trustor under this Mortgage;

(c) The payment and performance of all future advances and other obligations that
Trustor, Borrower or any other person may owe to Beneficiary and/or any Lenders (whether as
principal, surety or guarantor), when a writing evidences Trustor’s and Beneficiary’s
agreement that such advances or obligations be secured by this Mortgage; and

(d) The payment and performance of all modifications, amendments, extensions and
renewals, however evidenced, of any of the Secured Obligations described in clauses (a), (b)
or (c), above.

1.2.2 All persons who may have or acquire an interest in all or any part of the Property will
be considered to have notice of, and will be bound by, the terms of the Secured Obligations and
each other agreement or instrument made or entered into in connection with each of the Secured
Obligations. Such terms include any provisions in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents
which permit borrowing, repayment and reborrowing, or which provide that the interest rate on one
or more of the Secured Obligations may vary from time to time.

1.3 This Mortgage secures the prompt payment and performance of the Secured Obligations,
including, without limitation, the payment of the Notes and all amounts owing under the Credit
Agreement and the Loan Documents and the payment and performance of all other obligations, whether
presently existing, now arising or incurred hereafter, whether incurred for personal or
non-business purpose, or for any other purpose related or unrelated, or similar or dissimilar, to
the purpose of the Loan, whether or not such Secured Obligations are of the same type or character.
Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge and agree that this Mortgage may secure Secured Obligations
that have been or will be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time, one or more, times,
and that this Mortgage shall be effective, as to all future advances, as of the date of execution
and recordation hereof, it being intended that this Mortgage be a mortgage to secure present and
future obligations to the fullest extent permitted by La. Civ. Code art. 3298.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS MORTGAGE TO THE CONTRARY, THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE
SECURED OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY BE OUTSTANDING AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THIS MORTGAGE
SECURES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A MORTGAGE AND AS A COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND
RENTS, INCLUDING ALL PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ANY EXPENSES OR ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS INCURRED BY THE
BENEFICIARY AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS INCLUDED WITHIN THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, IS $410,000,000.00.

 

 

 

1.4 No Paraphs. Trustor and Beneficiary acknowledge that neither the Notes, any other
note nor any other written evidence of indebtedness has been paraphed for identification with this
Mortgage.

2. Assignment of Rents and Leases.

2.1 Absolute Assignment. Trustor hereby irrevocably, absolutely, presently and
unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Beneficiary all of the right, title and
interest which Trustor now has or may later acquire in and to the Rents and the Leases, and confers
upon Beneficiary the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
(hereinafter defined), to collect such Rents and enforce the provisions of the Leases with or
without taking possession of the Property. The assignment of Leases and Rents to Beneficiary
herein is made pursuant to La. R.S. § 9:4401.

2.2 Prior to an Event of Default. Beneficiary shall have the right to collect and
retain the Rents as they become due and payable, so long as no Event of Default, as defined in
Section 6.1, shall exist and be continuing. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the assignment of Leases and Rents to Beneficiary shall become absolute as provided in La. R.S. §
9:4401.

2.3 Grant of License. Beneficiary hereby confers upon Trustor a license
(“License”) to collect and retain the Rents as they become due and payable; provided that
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Beneficiary shall have the right, which it
may choose to exercise in its absolute discretion, to terminate this License without notice to or
demand upon Trustor, and without regard to the adequacy of Beneficiary’s security under this
Mortgage; provided further that until Beneficiary has terminated the License as provided herein,
Trustor may continue to collect and retain the Rents pursuant to the License.

2.4 Collection and Application of Rents. Subject to the License granted to Trustor
under Section 2.3 above, and only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Beneficiary shall have the right, power and authority to collect any and all Rents and
exercise Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases. Trustor hereby appoints Beneficiary
as its mandatory attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest)
to perform any and all of the following acts upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, if and at the times when Beneficiary, in its absolute discretion, may so choose:

(a) Demand, receive and enforce payment of any and all Rents and any other right, title
and interest of Trustor under the Leases;

(b) Give receipts, releases and satisfactions for any and all Rents and any other
obligations and duties under the Leases; or

(c) Sue either in the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary for any and all
Rents and to enforce any other obligations and duties under the Leases.

 

 

 

Beneficiary’s right to the Rents and the Leases does not depend on whether or not Beneficiary takes
possession of the Property as permitted under Section 6.2.3 hereof, or as permitted under
applicable law. In Beneficiary’s absolute discretion, Beneficiary may choose to collect Rents and
exercise the right, title and interest of Trustor under the Leases either with or without taking
possession of the Property. Beneficiary shall apply all Rents collected by it in the manner
provided under Section 6.5. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and Beneficiary is in
possession of all or part of the Property as Keeper (hereinafter defined) thereof or otherwise and
is collecting and applying Rents and exercising any right, title and interest of Trustor under the
Leases as permitted under this Mortgage, then Beneficiary and any Keeper shall nevertheless be
entitled to exercise and invoke every right and remedy afforded any of them under this Mortgage and
at law and in equity.

2.5 Beneficiary Not Responsible. Under no circumstances shall Beneficiary have any
duty to produce Rents from the Property or maintain the Leases. Regardless of whether or not
Beneficiary, in person or by agent, takes actual possession of the Land and Improvements as Keeper
or otherwise, Beneficiary is not and shall not be deemed to be:

(a) a “mortgagee in possession” for any purpose;

(b) responsible for performing any of the obligations under any Lease;

(c) responsible for any waste committed by lessees or any other parties, any dangerous
or defective condition of the Property, or any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair
or control of the Property; or

(d) liable in any manner for the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation
of all or any part of it.

2.6 Leasing. Without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, Trustor shall not accept
any deposit or prepayment of Rents for any period exceeding one month, and Trustor shall not lease
the Property or any part of it except strictly in accordance with the Loan Documents. Trustor
shall not apply any Rents in any manner prohibited by the Loan Documents.

2.7 Maximum Amount Secured. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS MORTGAGE TO THE
CONTRARY, THE MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS THAT MAY BE OUTSTANDING AT ANY
TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME THAT THIS MORTGAGE SECURES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A MORTGAGE
AND AS A COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, INCLUDING ALL PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ANY
EXPENSES OR ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS INCURRED BY THE BENEFICIARY AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS INCLUDED
WITHIN THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, IS $410,000,000.00.

3. Grant of Security Interest.

3.1 Security Agreement. The parties intend for this Mortgage to create a lien on and
security interest in the Property, and an absolute assignment of the Rents and the Leases, all in
favor of Beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that some of the Property and some of the Rents and
Leases may be determined under applicable law to be personal property or fixtures. To the extent
such Property, Rents or Leases constitute personal property, Trustor, as debtor, hereby grants to
Beneficiary, as secured party, a security interest in all such Property, Rents and Leases, to
secure payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and Trustor, as debtor, also has granted
a security interest in such Property, Rents and Leases pursuant to a certain Security Agreement of
even date herewith, executed by Trustor and by certain other parties, as debtors, in favor of
Beneficiary, as secured party. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under Chapter 9 of
the Louisiana Commercial Laws, La. R.S. § 10:91-101 et seq. (“Chapter 9”), as amended or
recodified from time to time, covering all such Property, Rents and Leases. To the extent such
Property, Rents or Leases are not immovable property encumbered by the lien created by Section 1.1,
above, and are not assigned by the assignment set forth in Section 2.1, above, it is the intention
of the parties that such Property, Rents and/or Leases shall constitute “proceeds, products,
offspring, or profits” and/or “rents” of the Land and Improvements, and/or “fees, charges,
accounts, or other payments for the use or occupancy of rooms and other public facilities in ...
lodging properties,” as applicable (as such terms are defined in and for the purposes of Section
552(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such Section may be modified or supplemented).

 

 

 

3.2 Financing Statements. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to execute one or
more financing statements and such other documents as Beneficiary may from time to time require to
perfect or continue the perfection of Beneficiary’s security interest in any Property, Rents or
Leases. As provided in Section 5.11, Trustor shall pay all fees and costs that Beneficiary may
incur in filing such documents in public offices and in obtaining such record searches as
Beneficiary may reasonably require. If Trustor fails to execute any financing statements or other
documents for the perfection or continuation of any security interest, Trustor hereby appoints
Beneficiary as its true and lawful mandatory attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest) to execute any such documents on its behalf. If any financing statement
or other document is filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property, that filing
shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this Mortgage or the rights or
obligations of the parties under it.

4. [Intentionally Omitted.]

5. Rights and Duties of the Parties.

5.1 Representations and Warranties. Trustor represents and warrants that, except as
previously disclosed to Beneficiary in Schedule 7.3(f) attached to the Credit Agreement:

(a) This Mortgage creates a first and prior lien on and security interest in the
Property, subject only to the Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement, and
other encumbrances and rights permitted by this Mortgage;

(b) The Property includes all material property and rights which may be reasonably
necessary or desirable for the use, if any, of the Property;

(c) Trustor’s place of business, or its chief executive office if it has more than one
place of business, is located at the address specified above;

(d) This Mortgage does not encumber Land on which Improvements are located in an area
that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having
special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, except any Land on which Improvements are located as
to which flood insurance as required by Regulation H has been obtained and is in full force
and effect as required by the Credit Agreement; and

 

 

 

(e) Trustor’s correct name and federal employer identification number are as set forth
on the first Page hereof.

5.2 Taxes and Assessments. To the extent required under the Credit Agreement, Trustor
shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, levies, charges and assessments, including assessments on
appurtenant water stock, imposed by any public or quasi-public authority or utility company which
are (or if not paid, may become) a lien on or security interest in all or part of the Property or
any interest in it, or which may cause any decrease in the value of the Property or any part of it.
If any such taxes, levies, charges or assessments become delinquent, Beneficiary may require
Trustor to present evidence that they have been paid in full, on ten days’ written notice by
Beneficiary to Trustor. This Section 5.2 is subject to the right granted to Trustor in the Credit
Agreement to contest in good faith certain taxes, assessments, charges and levies (and Trustor’s
failure to pay any immaterial tax shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder to the extent
Trustor is excused from paying such tax pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement);
otherwise, should Trustor fail to pay any of the aforesaid taxes, levies, charges or assessments
prior to the date that same become delinquent, Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to pay such taxes, levies, charges and assessments and all amounts
advanced by Beneficiary for such purpose, together with interest thereon at the rate of 2.0% above
the Base Rate from the fifth day following the date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until
repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on demand.

5.3 Performance of Secured Obligations. Trustor shall promptly pay and perform or
cause the payment and performance of, each Secured Obligation in accordance with its terms.

5.4 Liens, Charges and Encumbrances. Trustor shall promptly discharge any lien on or
security interest in the Property to which Beneficiary has not consented in writing, except any
Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to any applicable rights to
contest set forth in the Credit Agreement: (a) Trustor shall pay when due each obligation secured
by or reducible to a lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance which now does or later may
encumber or appear to encumber all or part of the Property or any interest in it, whether the lien,
security interest, charge or encumbrance is or would be senior or subordinate to this Mortgage; and
(b) should Trustor fail to perform its obligations under this Section 5.4, Beneficiary, at its
option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance funds which may be necessary to
protect and preserve Beneficiary’s liens hereunder, and to discharge Trustor’s obligations under
this Section 5.4, and all amounts so advanced by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the
rate provided for in Section 2.16(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement from the fifth day following the
date of demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and
payable on demand.

 

 

 

5.5 Damages and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds.

5.5.1 The following claims, causes of action, awards, payments and rights to payment are
subject to the Borrower’s rights to use such proceeds as provided in the Credit Agreement:

(a) All awards of damages and all other compensation payable directly or indirectly
because of a condemnation, proposed condemnation or taking for public or private use which
affects all or part of the Property or any interest in it;

(b) All other awards, claims and causes of action, arising out of any warranty
affecting all or any part of the Property, or for damage or injury to or decrease in value
of all or part of the Property or any interest in it;

(c) All proceeds of any insurance policies payable because of loss sustained to all or
part of the Property; and

(d) All interest which may accrue on any of the foregoing.

5.5.2 Trustor shall promptly notify Beneficiary in writing if:

(a) Any damage occurs or any injury or loss is sustained in the amount of $1,000,000 or
more to all or part of the Property, or any action or proceeding relating to any such
damage, injury or loss is commenced; or

(b) Any offer is made, or any action or proceeding is commenced, which relates to any
actual or proposed condemnation or taking of all or material part of the Property.

5.5.3 Subject to the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.13 thereof, if
Beneficiary chooses to do so, Beneficiary may in its own name appear in or prosecute any action or
proceeding to enforce any cause of action based on warranty, or for damage, injury or loss to all
or part of the Property, and Beneficiary may make any compromise or settlement of such action or
proceeding; provided, however, that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficiary
shall not settle or compromise any such action or proceeding without the prior written consent of
Trustor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Beneficiary, if it so
chooses, may participate in any action or proceeding relating to condemnation or taking of all or
part of the Property, and may join Trustor in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Trustor
hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful mandatory and attorney-in-fact for
all such purposes. The power of attorney granted hereunder is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. Trustor shall not settle, adjust or compromise any such action or proceeding without
the prior written approval of Beneficiary.

5.5.4 All proceeds of these assigned claims, other property and rights which Trustor may
receive or be entitled to (collectively, “Proceeds”) shall be administered in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.13 thereof. Any
and all Proceeds (including, without limitation, any Net Claims Proceeds) held by Beneficiary from
time to time shall be collateral for the Secured Obligations, and Trustor hereby grants to
Beneficiary a security interest in and lien on such Proceeds and all rights and remedies available
under applicable laws with respect to such Proceeds, including, without limitation, all rights and
remedies under Chapter 9. Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary and the Lenders any and
all documents reasonably requested by Beneficiary in order to confirm, create and perfect such
security interest in and lien on such Proceeds.

 

 

 

5.5.5 Trustor hereby specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights of a
property owner granted under applicable laws which provide for allocation of condemnation proceeds
between a property owner and a lienholder up to the principal amount of Secured Obligations under
the Credit Agreement, and any other law or successor statute of similar import. Trustor hereby
specifically, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all right to recover against Beneficiary or
any Lender (or any officer, employee, agent or representative of Beneficiary or any Lender) for any
loss incurred by Trustor from any cause insured against or required by any Loan Document to be
insured against; provided, however, that this waiver of subrogation shall not be effective with
respect to any insurance policy if the coverage thereunder would be materially reduced or impaired
as a result.

5.6 Maintenance and Preservation of Property.

5.6.1 Subject to Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement, Trustor shall keep all Property useful
and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

5.6.2 Subject to the terms of Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement, if all or part of the
Property becomes damaged or destroyed and Trustor elects to repair and/or restore all or part of
the Property, Trustor shall promptly and completely repair and/or restore the Property in a good
and workmanlike manner in accordance with sound building practices. If Trustor elects to repair
and/or restore all or part of the Property, Trustor shall be obligated to repair and/or restore the
Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence even if no insurance proceeds are
available or the available insurance proceeds are not sufficient to pay for the entire cost of such
repair and/or restoration.

5.6.3 Trustor shall not commit or allow any act upon or use of the Property which would
violate: (i) any applicable law or order of any Governmental Authority, whether now existing or
later to be enacted and whether foreseen or unforeseen (except to the extent that noncompliance
would not cause a Material Adverse Effect or a License Revocation); or (ii) any public or private
covenant, condition, restriction, equitable servitude or Contractual Obligation affecting the
Property (except to the extent such violation is being contested by Trustor in good faith by
appropriate proceedings or such violation would not cause a Material Adverse Effect). Trustor
shall not bring or keep any article on the Property or cause or allow any condition to exist on it
that invalidates any insurance coverage required to be maintained by Trustor on the Property or any
part of it under this Mortgage or the Loan Documents.

5.6.4 Trustor shall not commit or allow material waste of the Property.

5.6.5 Should Trustor fail to perform its obligations under this Section 5.6, Beneficiary, at
its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance funds for the protection,
preservation, repair or recovery of the Property, and all amounts so advanced by Beneficiary,
together with interest thereon at 2.0% above the Base Rate from the fifth day following the date of
demand for payment by Beneficiary until repaid, shall be secured by this Mortgage and payable on
demand.

 

 

 

5.7 Insurance.

5.7.1 Trustor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies
insurance on all of its Property in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but
including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are
usually insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar
business.

5.7.2 When any insurance policy required hereunder expires, Trustor shall furnish Beneficiary
with proof acceptable to Beneficiary that the policy has been reinstated, renewed or a new policy
issued, continuing in force the insurance covered by the policy which expired.

5.7.3 Should Trustor fail to procure any of the insurance required by this Section 5.7,
Beneficiary, at its sole option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such
insurance and all amounts advanced by Beneficiary for such purpose, together with interest thereon
at the rate provided for in Section 2.16(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement shall be secured by this
Mortgage and payable on demand.

5.8 [Intentionally Omitted.]

5.9 Releases, Extensions, Modifications and Additional Security.

5.9.1 From time to time, Beneficiary may perform any of the following acts without incurring
any liability or giving notice to any person, and without affecting the personal liability of any
person for the payment of the Secured Obligations (except as provided below), and without affecting
the security hereof for the full amount of the Secured Obligations on all Property remaining
subject hereto, and without the necessity that any sum representing the value of any portion of the
Property affected by Beneficiary’s action(s) be credited on the Secured Obligations:

(a) Release any person liable for payment of any Secured Obligation, except as
permitted by Section 10.15 of the Credit Agreement;

(b) Extend the time for payment, or otherwise alter the terms of payment, of any
Secured Obligation;

(c) Accept additional real, immovable, movable or personal property of any kind as
security for any Secured Obligation, whether evidenced by deeds of trust, mortgages,
security agreements or any other instruments of security;

(d) Alter, substitute or release any property securing the Secured Obligations;

 

 

 

(e) Consent to the making of any plat or map of the Property or any part of it;

(f) Join in granting any easement or creating any restriction affecting the Property;

(g) Join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Mortgage or the lien or
security interest of it; or

(h) Release the Property or any part of it from the lien of this Mortgage, in
accordance with the Credit Agreement.

5.10 Termination of Mortgage. In the event that (i) Trustor has requested Beneficiary
release the Property, or portions thereof, from the lien of this Mortgage pursuant to a Disposition
permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) all Secured Obligations (other than
contingent indemnity obligations and obligations in respect of the Specified Hedge Agreements) are
paid and performed in full and neither Trustor nor Beneficiary is bound, to one another or to a
third party, to permit the incurrence of additional Secured Obligations, Trustor may give notice to
Beneficiary of its intent to terminate this Mortgage and may request that Beneficiary execute a
release of this Mortgage, or partial release, at the expense of Trustor. Such termination shall
not become effective, and Beneficiary shall not be obligated to execute such a release, until sixty
(60) days after Beneficiary has actually received such notice in the manner required by Section
9.11 hereof and until Beneficiary has determined, in good faith, that Trustor is entitled to
terminate this Mortgage and obtain such release under the terms of this Section 5.10.

5.11 Compensation, Exculpation, Indemnification.

5.11.1 Trustor agrees to pay fees in the maximum amounts legally permitted, or reasonable fees
as may be charged by Beneficiary when the law provides no maximum limit, for any services that
Beneficiary may render in connection with this Mortgage, including Beneficiary’s providing a
statement of the Secured Obligations or Beneficiary’s rendering of services in connection with a
release or termination of this Mortgage. Trustor shall also pay or reimburse all of Beneficiary’s
costs and expenses which may be incurred in rendering any such services. Trustor further agrees to
pay or reimburse Beneficiary for all costs, expenses and other advances which may be incurred or
made by Beneficiary in any efforts to enforce any terms of this Mortgage to the extent provided in
Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement. If Beneficiary chooses to dispose of the Property through
more than one Foreclosure Sale, Trustor shall pay all costs, expenses or other advances that may be
incurred or made by Beneficiary in each of such Foreclosure Sales.

5.11.2 Beneficiary shall not be directly or indirectly liable to Trustor or any other person
as a consequence of any of the following:

(a) Beneficiary’s exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights, remedies or powers
granted to Beneficiary in this Mortgage;

 

 

 

(b) Beneficiary’s failure or refusal to perform or discharge any obligation or
liability of Trustor under any agreement related to the Property or under this Mortgage; or

(c) Any loss sustained by Trustor or any third party resulting from Beneficiary’s
failure to lease or operate the Property, or from any other act or omission of Beneficiary
in managing the Property, after an Event of Default, unless the loss is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary.

Trustor hereby expressly waives and releases all liability (other than liability for loss caused by
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Beneficiary) of the types described above, and agrees
that no such liability shall be asserted against or imposed upon Beneficiary.

5.11.3 Trustor agrees to, and does hereby, indemnify Beneficiary and the Lenders and their
respective agents, employees, officers, directors, consultants, shareholders, attorneys and Keepers
(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) to the extent provided in Section 9.7 of the Credit
Agreement.

5.12 Defense and Notice of Claims and Actions. At Trustor’s sole expense, Trustor
shall protect, preserve and defend the Property and title to and right of possession of the
Property, and the security of this Mortgage and the rights and powers of Beneficiary created under
it, against all adverse claims. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prompt notice in writing if any
claim is asserted in writing which does or could affect the title to or right of possession of the
Property (other than personal property the loss of which would not disrupt the operations of
Trustor), or the security of this Mortgage or the rights and powers of Beneficiary under this
Mortgage, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which alleges or relates to any such claim.

5.13 [Intentionally Omitted.]

5.14 Subrogation. Beneficiary shall be subrogated to the liens and security interests
of all encumbrances, whether released of record or not, which are discharged in whole or in part by
Beneficiary in accordance with this Mortgage or with the proceeds of any Secured Obligations
secured by this Mortgage.

5.15 Site Visits, Observation and Testing. Beneficiary and its agents and
representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time upon reasonable written advance notice
to enter and visit the Property for the purpose of performing appraisals. In addition, Beneficiary
and its agents and representatives shall have the right at any reasonable time upon reasonable
written advance notice to enter and visit the Property for the purposes of observing the Property,
taking and removing soil or groundwater samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Property.
Beneficiary or its agents and representatives have no duty, however, to visit or observe the
Property or to conduct tests, and no site visit or observation by Beneficiary or its agents or
representatives shall impose any liability on Beneficiary or any other person entitled to
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”). In no event shall any site visit, observation or testing by any Indemnified Party
be a representation that Materials of Environmental Concern are or are not present in, on, or under
the Property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law, or any
other applicable Law. Neither Trustor nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit,
observation or testing by any Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties owe no duty of care to
protect Trustor or any other person against, or to inform Trustor or any other person of, any
Materials of Environmental Concern or any other adverse condition affecting the Property.
Beneficiary shall give Trustor reasonable notice before entering the Property. Beneficiary shall
make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Trustor’s use of the Property in exercising any
rights provided in this Section.

 

 

 

5.16 Notice of Change. Trustor shall give Beneficiary prior written notice of (a) any
change in the location of Trustor’s place of business or its chief executive office if it has more
than one place of business, (b) any change in the location of its Books and Records, and (c) any
change to Trustor’s name, jurisdiction of formation, entity structure or federal employer
identification number. Unless otherwise approved by Beneficiary in writing, all Property that
consists of personal property, the removal of which would disrupt the operations of Trustor
(including the Books and Records), will be located on the Land.

5.17 Title Insurance. At any time and from time to time, Trustor, at its sole cost
and expense, shall deliver to Beneficiary title insurance endorsements and reinsurance as
Beneficiary may reasonably request with respect to the priority of this Mortgage, issued by title
insurance companies, all in form and substance and reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, with
respect to this Mortgage, including, without limitation, endorsements insuring that each Loan
advance is secured by this Mortgage (without any exception not set forth in the policy of title
insurance insuring this Mortgage other than (i) liens for taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable and (ii) Permitted Encumbrances insured to be subordinate to this Mortgage), and
endorsements insuring the priority of this Mortgage over any mechanic’s lien.

6. Defaults and Remedies.

6.1 Events of Default. Trustor will be in default under this Mortgage upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document)
or any other default herein (subject to any cure periods applicable to defaults under the Loan
Documents as provided in the Credit Agreement).

6.2 Remedies. At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
and provided that Beneficiary has received any consents or approvals of any other Lenders to the
extent required under the Credit Agreement, Beneficiary will be entitled to exercise any or all of
the following rights and remedies and any other rights and/or remedies available to Beneficiary at
law or in equity (subject to any restrictions on those rights and remedies imposed by applicable
Gaming Laws), all of which will be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of which shall
not constitute an election of remedies:

6.2.1 Acceleration. Beneficiary may declare any or all of the Secured Obligations to
be due and payable immediately without notice to or demand upon Borrower, Trustor or any other
person or entity. Trustor acknowledges that Beneficiary and the Lenders are making one or more
advances under the Credit Agreement in reliance on the expertise, skill and experience of Borrower
and Trustor; thus, the Secured Obligations include material elements similar in nature to a
personal service contract.

 

 

 

6.2.2 Receiver or Keeper. Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for, and obtain appointment of, a receiver or Keeper for the Property; and
Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may request, in connection with any
foreclosure proceeding hereunder, that the Louisiana Gaming Control Board petition a District Court
of the State of Louisiana for the appointment of a supervisor to conduct the normal gaming
activities on the Property concurrently with or following such foreclosure proceeding.

6.2.3 Entry. Beneficiary, in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver or
Keeper, may enter, take possession of, manage and operate all or any part of the Property, and may
also do any and all other things in connection with those actions that Beneficiary may in its
absolute discretion consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage.
Such other things may include, without limitation: taking and possessing all of Trustor’s or the
then owner’s Books and Records; entering into, enforcing, modifying, or canceling Leases on such
terms and conditions as Beneficiary may consider proper; obtaining and evicting tenants; collecting
and receiving any payment of money owing to Trustor; completing construction; and/or contracting
for and making repairs and alterations. If Beneficiary so requests, Trustor shall assemble all of
the Property that has been removed from the Land and make all of it available to Beneficiary at the
site of the Land. Trustor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Beneficiary as Trustor’s
mandatory and attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to
perform such acts and execute such documents as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may consider
to be appropriate in connection with taking these measures, including endorsement of Trustor’s name
on any instruments. Regardless of any provision of this Mortgage or the Credit Agreement,
Beneficiary shall not be considered to have accepted any personal or movable property in
satisfaction of any obligation of Trustor to Beneficiary unless Beneficiary has given express
written notice of Beneficiary’s election of that remedy in accordance with La. R.S. § 10:9-505, as
it may be amended or recodified from time to time.

6.2.4 Cure; Protection of Security. Beneficiary may cure any breach or default of
Trustor and, if it chooses to do so in connection with any such cure, Beneficiary may also enter
the Property and/or do any and all other things which either may in its absolute discretion
consider necessary and appropriate to protect the security of this Mortgage. Such other things may
include, without limitation: appearing in and/or defending any action or proceeding which purports
to affect the security of, or the rights or powers of Beneficiary under, this Mortgage; paying,
purchasing, contesting or compromising any encumbrance, charge, lien, security interest or claim of
lien or security interest which (in Beneficiary’s sole judgment) is or may be senior in priority to
this Mortgage, such judgment of Beneficiary to be conclusive as among the parties to this Mortgage;
obtaining insurance and/or paying any premiums or charges for insurance required to be carried
under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents; otherwise caring for and protecting, preserving,
repairing or recovering any and all of the Property; and/or employing counsel, accountants,
contractors and other appropriate persons to assist Beneficiary. Beneficiary may take any of the
actions permitted under this Section 6.2.4 upon giving Trustor prior written notice of such
action(s), or if Beneficiary has reasonably determined that providing such prior written notice is
not feasible, then substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

 

 

 

6.2.5 Chapter 9 Remedies. Beneficiary may exercise any or all of the remedies granted
to a secured party under Chapter 9, as amended or recodified from time to time.

6.2.6 Judicial Action. Beneficiary may bring an action in any court of competent
jurisdiction to foreclose this Mortgage or to obtain specific enforcement of any of the covenants
or other terms of this Mortgage.

6.2.7 Power of Sale. Beneficiary shall have the discretionary right to cause some or
all of the Property, including any Property which constitutes personal property, to be sold or
otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by applicable law.

(a) Sales of Personal Property.

(i) Beneficiary may elect to treat as personal property any Property which is
intangible or which are fixtures, as defined in Chapter 9, which can be severed from
the Land or Improvements without causing structural damage. If it chooses to do so,
Beneficiary may dispose of any personal property separately from the sale of
immovable property, in any manner permitted by Chapter 9, as amended or recodified
from time to time, including any public or private sale, or in any manner permitted
by any other applicable law. Any proceeds of any such disposition shall not cure
any Event of Default.

(ii) In connection with any sale or other disposition of such Property, Trustor
agrees that the following procedures constitute a commercially reasonable sale:
Beneficiary shall mail written notice of the sale as required by Chapter 9. Once
per week during the three weeks immediately preceding such sale, Beneficiary will
publish notice of the sale in a local daily newspaper of general circulation. Upon
receipt of any written request, Beneficiary will make the Property available to any
bona fide prospective purchaser for inspection during reasonable business hours.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Beneficiary shall be under no
obligation to consummate a sale if, in its judgment, none of the offers received by
it equals the fair value of the Property offered for sale. The foregoing procedures
do not constitute the only procedures that may be commercially reasonable.

6.2.8 Foreclosure Sales.

(a) For purposes of executory process under applicable Louisiana law, Trustor hereby
acknowledges the Secured Obligations, CONFESSES JUDGMENT thereon and consents that judgment
be rendered and signed, whether during the court’s term or during vacation, in favor of the
Beneficiary, for the full amount of the Secured Obligations, including but not limited to
the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other Secured Obligations,
in principal, interest, costs and attorney’s fees, together with all charges and expenses
whatsoever owing pursuant to this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, and in addition to all of its rights, powers and remedies under this
Mortgage and applicable law, Beneficiary may, at its option, cause all or any part of the
Property to be seized and sold (any such sale or disposition being referred to herein as a
“Foreclosure Sale”) under executory process or under writ of fieri facias issued in
execution of an ordinary judgment obtained upon the Secured Obligations, without
appraisement to the highest bidder, for cash or upon such terms as Beneficiary deems
acceptable. Trustor hereby waives all and every appraisement of the Property and waives and
renounces the benefit of appraisement and the benefit of all laws relative to the
appraisement of the Property seized and sold under executory or other legal process.
Trustor agrees to waive, and does hereby specifically waive:

(i) the benefit of appraisement provided for in Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and
2724, Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, and all other laws conferring such
benefits;

 

 

 

(ii) the demand and three (3) days delay accorded by Articles 2639 and 2721,
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(iii) the notice of seizure required by Articles 2293 and 2721, Louisiana Code
of Civil Procedure;

(iv) the three (3) days delay provided by Articles 2331 and 2722, Louisiana
Code of Civil Procedure;

(v) the benefit of the other provisions of Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723,
Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure;

(vi) the benefit of the provisions of any other articles of the Louisiana Code
of Civil Procedure not specifically mentioned above; and

(vii) all pleas of division and discussion with respect to the Secured
Obligations.

In the event Beneficiary elects, at its option, to enter suite via ordinaria on the Secured
Obligations, in addition to the foregoing confession of judgment, Trustor hereby waives citation,
other legal process and legal delays and hereby consents that judgment for the unpaid principal due
on the Secured Obligations, together with interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other charges that
may be due on the Secured Obligations, be rendered and signed immediately.

(b) Pursuant to the authority contained in La. R.S. 9:5136 through 9:5140.2, as the
same may hereafter be amended or supplemented Trustor and Beneficiary do hereby expressly
designate Beneficiary or its designee to be keeper or receiver (“Keeper”) for the
benefit of Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary, such designation to take effect
immediately upon any seizure of any of the Property under writ of executory process or under
writ of sequestration or fieri facias as an incident to an action brought by Beneficiary.
The Keeper shall be entitled to a reasonable fee and to the reimbursement of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it as Keeper, and the payment of such fees and expenses
shall be secured by the mortgage, assignment and security interest in the Property granted
in this Mortgage.

 

 

 

6.2.9 Other Permitted Remedies. Beneficiary and the Lenders may refuse to make any
advance to, or issue any Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or Trustor. Beneficiary and
the Lenders may exercise any and all other rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents
and applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to file applications to change, and to
exercise all other rights and remedies available under applicable law with respect to, all water
permits and rights relating to the Property; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing
or any other provision contained in this Mortgage, the remedies provided by this Mortgage shall not
include the right to take any action that violates applicable Gaming Laws.

6.3 Credit Bids. At any Foreclosure Sale, any person, including Trustor or
Beneficiary, may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof to the extent permitted by
then applicable law. Instead of paying cash for such Property, Beneficiary may settle for the
purchase price by crediting against the sales price of the Property or any part thereof any or all
of the outstanding Secured Obligations (including without limitation the portion of the Secured
Obligations attributable to the expenses of sale, costs of any action and any other sums for which
Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse Beneficiary or the Lenders under Section 5.11) or
otherwise in such order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose.

6.4 Application of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds. Beneficiary shall apply the proceeds of
any Foreclosure Sale or other sale or disposition pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof in the manner
required by applicable law; provided that all proceeds that are to be applied against the Secured
Obligations shall, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied against the Secured
Obligations in any order and proportions as Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose
(subject to any applicable provisions for priority of application of proceeds set forth in the
Credit Agreement).

6.5 Application of Rents and Other Sums. Beneficiary shall apply any and all Rents
collected by it, and any and all sums other than proceeds of a Foreclosure Sale or other sale or
disposition which Beneficiary may receive or collect under Section 6.2, or otherwise, in the
following manner:

(a) First, to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations attributable to the costs and
expenses of operation and collection that may be incurred by Beneficiary or any receiver or
Keeper;

(b) Second, to pay all other Secured Obligations in any order and proportions as
Beneficiary in its absolute discretion may choose (subject to the provisions for priority of
application of payments set forth in the Credit Agreement); and

(c) Third, to remit the remainder, if any, to the person or persons entitled to it.
Beneficiary shall have no liability for any funds which it does not actually receive.

 

 

 

7. Leasehold Mortgage Provisions. The provisions of this Article 7 shall apply in the
event that, and so long as, any portion of the Property consists of Mortgagor’s interests as tenant
under any lease or leases encumbered by this Mortgage (collectively, including the Existing Ground
Lease, the “Ground Leases”). Unless otherwise expressly provided, the lien of this
Mortgage shall encumber all of Trustor’s rights and interests under and in connection with any
Ground Lease, including without limitation, renewal and extension rights, options to expand, and
purchase options (all of which rights shall be collectively referred to herein as a “Ground
Leasehold”). Trustor hereby agrees, with respect to each Ground Lease, as follows:

7.1 Trustor shall timely perform its obligations in connection with each Ground Lease.
Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2.4 above, Trustor specifically acknowledges
Beneficiary’s right, while any default by Trustor under any Ground Lease remains uncured, to
perform the defaulted obligations and take all other actions which Beneficiary deems necessary to
protect its interests with respect thereto, and Trustor hereby irrevocably appoints Beneficiary its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) in
its name or otherwise to execute all documents, and perform all other acts, which Beneficiary
reasonably deems necessary to preserve its or Trustor’s rights with respect to any Ground Lease.
Any amounts advanced by Beneficiary pursuant to this Section shall be included in the Secured
Obligations.

7.2 Except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, Trustor shall not, without Beneficiary’s
prior written consent, modify, or cause or permit the termination of, any Ground Lease, or waive or
in any way release the landlord under any Ground Lease of or from any obligation or condition.

7.3 Trustor shall notify Beneficiary promptly in writing of (i) the occurrence of any material
default by the landlord under any Ground Lease, and (ii) the receipt by Trustor of any notice
claiming the occurrence of any default by Trustor under any Ground Lease or the occurrence of any
event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a material
default by Trustor under any Ground Lease (and Trustor shall also promptly deliver a copy of any
such notice to Beneficiary) or would otherwise permit the landlord under such Ground Lease to
terminate the Ground Lease.

7.4 Unless Beneficiary otherwise consents in writing, so long as any Secured Obligation
remains outstanding, neither the fee title to, nor any other estate or interest in, the real
property subject to any Ground Lease shall merge with any Ground Leasehold, notwithstanding the
union of such estates in the landlord or the tenant or in a third party. Any acquisition of the
landlord’s interest in any Ground Lease by Trustor or any affiliate of Trustor shall be
accomplished in such a manner as to avoid a merger of the interests of Landlord and tenant unless
Beneficiary consents to such merger in writing.

7.5 If Trustor acquires fee title to any portion of the real property subject to any Ground
Lease, this Mortgage shall automatically be a lien on such fee title.

7.6 Unless otherwise expressly obligated to do so by the terms and provisions of any Lease
(and then only to the extent of any such obligation), Trustor shall not subordinate any Ground
Lease or Ground Leasehold to any mortgage or other encumbrance of, or lien on, any interest in the
real property subject to such Ground Leasehold without the prior written consent of Beneficiary.
Any such prohibited subordination without such consent shall, at Beneficiary’s option, be void.

 

 

 

7.7 All material subleases entered into by Trustor with respect to all or any portion of the
Property (and all existing subleases modified by Trustor) shall provide that such subleases are
subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and any modifications of this Mortgage and the obligations
secured hereby and that, if Beneficiary forecloses under this Mortgage or enters into a new lease
with any landlord under any Ground Lease pursuant to the provisions for a new lease, if any,
contained in the applicable Ground Lease or in any other document or agreement, the subtenant shall
attorn to Beneficiary or its assignee and the sublease shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the applicable Ground Lease.

7.8 Trustor shall exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease
prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice
thereof to Beneficiary, and shall execute, deliver and record any documents requested by
Beneficiary to evidence the lien of this Mortgage on such extended or renewed lease term unless
such Ground Lease is not renewed or extended as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. If
Trustor fails to exercise any such option or right as required herein, Beneficiary may exercise the
option or right as Trustor’s agent and attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Mortgage, or in
Beneficiary’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Beneficiary, as Beneficiary
chooses in its absolute discretion; provided, if Trustor shall fail to exercise any option or right
to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease, Trustor shall give Beneficiary reasonable prior
notice. Beneficiary shall thereafter provide Trustor prior written notice of such action(s), or if
Beneficiary reasonably determines that providing such prior written notice is not feasible, then
substantially concurrent written notice of such action(s).

7.9 As security for the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby assigns to Beneficiary a security
interest in all prepaid rents and security deposits and all other security which the landlords
under the Ground Leases hold for the performance of Trustor’s obligations thereunder.

7.10 Promptly upon demand by Beneficiary, Trustor shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from
the landlord under any Ground Lease and furnish to Beneficiary an estoppel certificate of such
landlord stating the date through which rent has been paid, whether or not there are any defaults,
and the specific nature of any claimed defaults.

7.11 [Intentionally Omitted.]

7.12 To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Trustor or any other party in the
exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under, or decree of foreclosure of, this
Mortgage shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Beneficiary on
behalf of Trustor as the tenant under the Ground Leases.

 

 

 

7.13 In addition to all other Events of Default described in this Mortgage, the occurrence of
any of the following shall be an Event of Default hereunder:

(a) A breach or default by Trustor under any Ground Lease, subject to any applicable
cure period; or

(b) The occurrence of any event or circumstance which gives the landlord under any
Ground Lease a right to terminate such Ground Lease.

7.14 As used in this Mortgage, the “Bankruptcy Code” shall mean 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et
seq., as modified and/or recodified from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein with respect to any Ground Lease:

(a) The lien of this Mortgage attaches to all of Trustor’s rights under subsection
365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, any and all elections to be
made thereunder, any and all rights under any Ground Lease which Trustor is entitled to
retain pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii) in the event of a rejection under the
Bankruptcy Code of such Ground Lease by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee thereof),
and any and all rights of offset under or as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(B).

(b) Trustor acknowledges and agrees that, by the terms hereof and by operation of 11
U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Beneficiary has, and until this Mortgage has been fully reconveyed
continuously shall have, whether before or after any default under any of the Secured
Obligations or the taking of any action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies
under this Mortgage or any foreclosure sale hereunder, the complete, unfettered and
exclusive right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect (the “365(h)
Election”) whether (i) any Ground Lease that has been rejected under the Bankruptcy Code
by the landlord thereunder (or any trustee therefor) shall be treated as terminated under 11
U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(i), or (ii) the rights under such Ground Lease that are in or
appurtenant to the real property, as described in 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(A)(ii), should be
retained pursuant to that subsection. To the extent that, notwithstanding the preceding
sentence and 11 U.S.C. § 365(h)(1)(D), Trustor now or at any time in the future has any
right to make, or to participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the
365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease, Trustor hereby absolutely assigns and
conveys to Beneficiary any and all such rights, and all of Trustor’s right, title and
interest therein, which may be used and exercised by Beneficiary completely, exclusively,
and without any restriction whatsoever, in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion,
whether before or after any default upon any of the Secured Obligations, the taking of any
action to enforce any of Beneficiary’s rights and remedies under this Mortgage, or any
foreclosure sale hereunder. Trustor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably appoints
Beneficiary as its attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) to
exercise Trustor’s right, if any, to make, or participate in, or otherwise in any matter
affecting the making of, the 365(h) Election with respect to any Ground Lease. Trustor
shall not in any manner impede or interfere with any action taken by Beneficiary and, at the
request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall take or join in the taking of any action to make, or
participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election with
respect to any Ground Lease; provided such action and such Election are consistent with all
applicable Laws, in such manner as Beneficiary determines in its sole and absolute
discretion. Unless and until instructed to do so by Beneficiary (as determined by
Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion), Trustor shall not take any action to make,
or participate in or otherwise in any manner affect the making of, the 365(h) Election with
respect to any Ground Lease, including in particular, but without limitation, any election
to treat any Ground Lease as terminated. Beneficiary shall have no obligation whatsoever to
Trustor or any other person or entity in connection with the making of the 365(h) Election
with respect to any Ground Lease or any instruction by Beneficiary to Trustor given,
withheld or delayed in respect thereof, nor shall Beneficiary have any liability to Trustor
or any other person or entity arising from any of the same.

 

 

 

(c) As security for the Secured Obligations, Trustor hereby irrevocably assigns to
Beneficiary all of Trustor’s rights to damages arising from any rejection by any landlord
(or any trustee thereof) of any Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Beneficiary and
Trustor shall proceed jointly or in the name of Trustor in respect of any claim or
proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease, including without limitation, the
right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions and other documents,
provided the same shall be well grounded in fact or law, in any case in respect of such
landlord under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment shall continue in effect until all of
the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full. Any amounts received by Beneficiary or
Trustor as damages arising from the rejection of any Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be
applied first to all costs reasonably incurred by Beneficiary (including attorneys’ fees) in
connection with this subsection (c) and then in accordance with other applicable provisions
of this Mortgage.

(d) If, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Trustor seeks to offset against the rent
reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance of the
landlord’s obligations after the rejection by the landlord (or any trustee thereof) of such
Ground Lease, Trustor shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Beneficiary in writing
of its intent to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be offset and, in the event
that Beneficiary objects, Trustor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which
Beneficiary objects. If Beneficiary fails to object within 10 days following receipt of
such notice, Trustor may offset the amounts set forth in Trustor’s notice.

(e) If any legal proceeding is commenced with respect to any Ground Lease in connection
with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Beneficiary and Trustor shall cooperatively conduct
any such proceeding with counsel reasonably agreed upon between Trustor and Beneficiary.
Trustor shall, upon demand, pay to Beneficiary all costs (including attorneys’ fees)
reasonably incurred by Beneficiary in connection with any such proceeding.

(f) Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary orally upon learning of any filing by
or against any landlord of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Trustor shall thereafter
promptly give written notice of such filing to Beneficiary, setting forth any information
available to Trustor with respect to the date of such filing, the court in which such
petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Trustor shall promptly deliver to
Beneficiary all notices, pleadings and other documents received by Trustor in connection
with any such proceeding.

 

 

 

7.15 No maintenance, repair or other obligation of Trustor hereunder which relates to the
“Property” shall apply to any Ground Leasehold with respect to which the applicable Ground Lease
imposes such obligation on the landlord so long as (a) Trustor does not own the landlord’s
interest; (b) such landlord is performing such obligation in accordance with the terms of such
Ground Lease; and (c) the Ground Lease has not been rejected by the landlord (or any trustee
thereof) under the Bankruptcy Code.

7.16 The generality of the provisions of this Mortgage shall not be limited by any provision
of this Article 7 that sets forth particular obligations of Trustor as the tenant under the Ground
Leases.

7.17 Trustor hereby represents and warrants to Beneficiary as follows:

(a) The Ground Leases are in full force and effect;

(b) Trustor owns the entire tenant’s interest under the Ground Leases and has the right
under the Ground Leases to execute this Mortgage; and

(c) No default under the Existing Ground Leases remains uncured, nor has any event
occurred which, with the passage of time or service of notice or both, would constitute such
a default.

7.18 Upon the expiration of any Ground Lease, or any early termination by Trustor of such
Ground Lease as provided herein, Beneficiary agrees to release the parcel leased pursuant such
Ground Lease from the Property and any lien secured on the parcel leased pursuant such Ground Lease
by this Mortgage.

8. Suretyship Provisions. The following provisions shall apply to the extent that all
or any portion of the obligations secured hereby now or hereafter constitute obligations of
person(s) other than, or in addition to, Trustor, including, without limitation, the Borrower:

8.1 Conditions to Exercise of Rights. Trustor hereby waives any right it may now or
hereafter have to require Beneficiary, as a condition to the exercise of any remedy or other right
against Trustor hereunder or under any other document executed by Trustor in connection with any
Secured Obligation, (a) to proceed against Borrower or any other person, or against any other
collateral assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary by Trustor or Borrower or any other
person, (b) to pursue any other right or remedy in Beneficiary’s power, (c) to give notice of the
time, place or terms of any public or private sale of real or personal property collateral assigned
to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary by Borrower or any other person (other than Trustor), or
otherwise to comply with La. R.S. § 10:9-504 (as modified or recodified from time to time) with
respect to any such personal property collateral, or (d) to make or give (except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Loan Documents) any presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor,
notice of protest or other demand or notice of any kind in connection with any Secured Obligation
or any collateral (other than the Property) for any Secured Obligation. Trustor also waives any
defense in any way related to the foregoing.

 

 

 

8.2 Waiver of Defenses. Trustor hereby waives any defense it may now or hereafter
have that relates to: (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other person; (b) the
cessation, from any cause other than full performance, of the obligations of Borrower or any other
person; (c) the application of the proceeds of any Secured Obligation, by Borrower or any other
person, for purposes other than the purposes represented to Trustor by Borrower or otherwise
intended or understood by Trustor or Borrower; (d) any act or omission by Beneficiary which
directly or indirectly results in or contributes to the release of Borrower or any other person or
any collateral for any Secured Obligation; (e) the unenforceability or invalidity of any collateral
assignment or encumbrance (other than this Mortgage) or guaranty with respect to any Secured
Obligation, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or lack of priority of any lien
which secures any Secured Obligation; (f) any failure of Beneficiary to marshal assets in favor of
Trustor or any other person; (g) any modification of any Secured Obligation, including any renewal,
extension, acceleration or increase in interest rate, or (h) any election of remedies by
Beneficiary that impairs any subrogation or other right of Trustor to proceed against Borrower or
any other person, including any loss of rights resulting from deficiency judgment laws relating to
foreclosures of immovable property or other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging obligations or
remedies (including La. R.S. §§ 13:4106 through 13:4108.3, inclusive, as modified or recodified
from time to time); (l) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must
neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or
which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (j)
any failure of Beneficiary to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with
respect to any person; (k) the election by Beneficiary, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any person,
of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code;
(I) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code; (m) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code; or (n) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in
any bankruptcy proceeding of any person.

The Trustor waives all rights and defenses that the Trustor may have because Borrower’s debt
is secured by immovable property. This means, among other things:

	 	(1)	 	The Beneficiary may foreclose, under this Mortgage, without first foreclosing
on any immovable or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other
person.

	 	(2)	 	If the Beneficiary forecloses on any immovable property collateral pledged or
otherwise encumbered by Borrower or any other person:

	 	(A)	 	The amount of the Secured Obligations may be reduced only by
the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if
the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

	 	(B)	 	The Beneficiary may foreclose on any such immovable property
collateral even if the Beneficiary, by foreclosing on such immovable property
collateral, has destroyed any right the Trustor may have to collect from
Borrower or any other person.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any and all rights and defenses the Trustor
may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by immovable property.

 

 

 

The Trustor also waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the
Beneficiary, even though that election of remedies, such as a foreclosure with respect to security
for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Trustor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement
against the principal by operation of applicable law or otherwise.

8.3 Subrogation. Trustor hereby waives, until such time as all Secured Obligations
are fully paid and performed, (a) all rights of subrogation against Borrower or any other person
that relates to any Secured Obligation, (b) all rights to enforce any remedy Beneficiary may now or
hereafter have against Borrower or any other person, and (c) all rights to participate in any
collateral now or hereafter assigned to Beneficiary with respect to any Secured Obligation.

8.4 Trustor Information. Trustor warrants and agrees that: (a) Trustor has not
relied, and will not rely, on any representations or warranties by Beneficiary to Trustor with
respect to the creditworthiness of Borrower or any other person or the prospects of repayment of
any Secured Obligation from sources other than the Property; (b) Trustor has established and/or
will establish adequate means of obtaining from Borrower and each other person liable, directly or
through a guaranty or pledge or encumbrance of collateral, for the repayment of the Secured
Obligations, on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the business
operations, if any, and financial condition of Borrower and each such other person; (c) Trustor
assumes full responsibility for keeping informed with respect to the business operations, if any,
and financial condition of Borrower and each such other person; and (d) Beneficiary shall have no
duty to disclose or report to Trustor any information now or hereafter known to Beneficiary or any
of the Lenders with respect to Borrower or other person, including, without limitation information
relating to Borrower’s or other person’s business operations or financial condition.

8.5 Other Rights of Sureties. Trustor hereby waives all other rights it may now or
hereafter have, whether or not similar to any, of the foregoing, by reason of laws of the State of
Louisiana pertaining to sureties or suretyship.

8.6 Reinstatement of Lien. Beneficiary’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and
revived, and the enforceability of this Mortgage shall continue, with respect to any amount at any
time paid on account of any Secured Obligation which Beneficiary is thereafter required to restore
or return in connection with a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with
respect to Borrower or any other person.

8.7 Subordination. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been fully paid and
performed, (a) Trustor hereby agrees that all existing and future indebtedness and other
obligations of Borrower and of each “other person” described in Section 8.3 or 8.4 hereof to
Trustor (collectively, the “Subordinated Debt”) shall be and are hereby subordinated to all
Secured Obligations which constitute obligations of Borrower or other person, and the payment
thereof is hereby deferred in right of payment to the prior payment and performance of all Secured
Obligations; (b) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Trustor shall not
collect or receive any cash or non-cash payments on any Subordinated Debt or transfer all or any
portion of the Subordinated Debt; and (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment by, or distribution of assets of, Borrower or other person, with respect to any
Subordinated Debt is received by Trustor, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust and
immediately paid over to Beneficiary, is hereby assigned to Beneficiary as security for the Secured
Obligations, and shall be held by Beneficiary in a non-interest bearing account until all Secured
Obligations have been fully paid and performed.

 

 

 

8.8 Lawfulness and Reasonableness. Trustor warrants that all of the waivers in this
Mortgage are made with full knowledge of their significance, and of the fact that events giving
rise to any defense or other benefit waived by Trustor may destroy or impair rights which Trustor
would otherwise have against Beneficiary, other Lenders, Borrower and other persons, or against
collateral. Trustor agrees that all such waivers are reasonable under the circumstances and
further agrees that, if any such waiver is determined (by a court of competent jurisdiction) to be
contrary to any law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

9. Miscellaneous Provisions.

9.1 Additional Provisions. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and
conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this
Mortgage. The Loan Documents also grant further rights to Beneficiary and contain further
agreements and affirmative and negative covenants by Trustor which apply to this Mortgage and to
the Property. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Mortgage and the terms of the
Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control.

9.2 No Waiver or Cure.

9.2.1 Each waiver by Beneficiary must be in writing, and no waiver shall be construed as a
continuing waiver. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by Beneficiary to take
action on account of any default of Trustor. Consent by Beneficiary to any act or omission by
Trustor shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission or to waive
the requirement for Beneficiary’s consent to be obtained in any future or other instance.

9.2.2 If any of the events described below occurs, that event alone shall not: cure or waive
any breach, Event of Default or notice of default under this Mortgage or invalidate any act
performed pursuant to any such default or notice; or nullify the effect of any notice of default or
sale (unless all Secured Obligations then due have been paid and performed in full and all other
defaults under the Loan Documents have been cured); or impair the security of this Mortgage; or
prejudice Beneficiary or any receiver or Keeper in the exercise of any right or remedy afforded any
of them under this Mortgage; or be construed as an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, Lease
or option, or a subordination of the lien, encumbrance or security interest of this Mortgage:

(a) Beneficiary, its agent or a receiver or Keeper takes possession of all or any part
of the Property in the manner provided in Section 6.2.3 or otherwise.

(b) Beneficiary or a receiver or Keeper collects and applies Rents as permitted under
Sections 2.3 and 6.5 or exercises Trustor’s right, title and interest under the Leases,
either with or without taking possession of all or any part of the Property.

 

 

 

(c) Beneficiary receives and applies to any Secured Obligation proceeds of any
Property, including any proceeds of insurance policies, condemnation awards, or other
claims, property or rights assigned to or encumber in favor of Beneficiary under Section 1.1
or 5.5 or otherwise; provided such application is in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement.

(d) Beneficiary makes a site visit, observes the Property and/or conducts tests as
permitted under Section 5.15.

(e) Beneficiary receives any sums under this Mortgage or any proceeds of any collateral
held for any of the Secured Obligations, and applies them to one or more Secured
Obligations.

(f) Beneficiary, or any receiver or Keeper invokes any right or remedy provided under
this Mortgage.

9.3 Powers of Beneficiary.

9.3.1 [Intentionally Omitted.]
—

9.3.2 If Beneficiary performs any act which it is empowered or authorized to perform under
this Mortgage, including, without limitation, any act permitted by Section 5.9 or Section 6.2.4,
that act alone shall not release or change the personal liability of any person for the payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, or the lien or encumbrance or security
interest of this Mortgage on all or the remainder of the Property for full payment and performance
of all outstanding Secured Obligations. The liability of the original Trustor shall not be
released or changed if Beneficiary grants any successor in interest to Borrower or Trustor any
extension of time for payment, or modification of the terms of payment, of any Secured Obligation.
Beneficiary shall not be required to comply with any demand by the original Trustor that
Beneficiary refuse to grant such an extension or modification to, or commence proceedings against,
any such successor in interest.

9.3.3 Beneficiary may take any of the actions permitted under Sections 6.2.2 and/or 6.2.3
regardless of the adequacy of the security for the Secured Obligations, or whether any or all of
the Secured Obligations have been declared to be immediately due and payable, or whether notice of
default and election to sell has been given under, or notice of seizure given with respect to, this
Mortgage.

9.3.4 From time to time, Beneficiary may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for aid
and direction in enforcing the rights and remedies created under this Mortgage. Beneficiary may
from time to time obtain orders or decrees directing, confirming or approving acts in enforcing
these rights and remedies.

 

 

 

9.4 Merger. No merger shall occur as a result of Beneficiary’s acquiring any other
estate in or any other lien on or security interest in the Property unless Beneficiary consents to
a merger in writing.

9.5 Applicable Law. This Mortgage shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Louisiana.

9.6 Successors in Interest. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Mortgage
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties.

9.7 Interpretation.

9.7.1 Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular will be construed to have
been used in the plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The
captions of the sections of this Mortgage are for convenience only and do not define or limit any
terms or provisions. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word
“including” means “including, but not limited to.” The word “person” includes individuals and
entities.

9.7.2 The word “obligations” is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and
includes all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It further
includes all principal, interest, reimbursement and indemnity obligations, prepayment charges, late
charges, loan fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as all
obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions.

9.7.3 No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or
generality of any language of this Mortgage. All Exhibits and/or Schedules attached to this
Mortgage are hereby incorporated in this Mortgage.

9.8 In-House Counsel Fees. Whenever Trustor is obligated to pay or reimburse
Beneficiary for reasonable attorneys’ fees, those fees shall include the allocated costs for
services of in-house counsel.

9.9 Waiver of Marshalling. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Trustor waives
all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshalling of assets or
to require foreclosure sales of assets in a particular order. Each successor and assign of
Trustor, including any holder of a lien or encumbrance or security interest subordinate to this
Mortgage, by acceptance of its interest or lien or encumbrance or security interest, agrees that it
shall be bound by the above waiver, as if it had given the waiver itself.

9.10 Severability. Any provision in this Mortgage that is held to be inoperative,
unenforceable or invalid as to any party or circumstance or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
party or circumstance or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting
the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any
other party or circumstance or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this
Mortgage are declared to be severable.

9.11 Statute of Frauds Clause. Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend
credit or to forbear from enforcing repayment of a debt including promises to extend or renew such
debt are not enforceable. To protect you (borrower(s)) and us (creditor) from misunderstanding or
disappointment, any agreements we reach covering such matters are contained in this writing, which
is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between us, except as we may later agree
in writing to modify it.

 

 

 

9.12 Assignment of Rents After Commencement of Foreclosure. The right of Beneficiary
to collect and receive the Rents or to take possession of the Property, or to exercise any of the
rights or powers herein granted to Beneficiary shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, also
extend to the period from and after the filing of any suit to foreclose the lien of this Mortgage,
including any period allowed by law for the redemption of the Property after any foreclosure sale.

9.13 Continuation of Foreclosure. In the event any foreclosure advertisement is
running or has run at the time of an appointment of a substitute Trustee, the substitute Trustee
may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, consummate the advertised sale without the
necessity of republishing such advertisement.

nature of Owner’s activities (including, without limitation, operation of the Vessel) requires it
to be so authorized and in good standing, except where failure to so qualify or be in good standing
would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE I.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF OWNER

Owner covenants:

1.1 Owner is and continues to be a citizen of the United States entitled to own and operate
the Vessel under her certificate of documentation, which Owner shall maintain in full force and
effect. All actions necessary for the execution, delivery and performance of this Mortgage and the
Subsidiary Guaranty have been duly taken, and each such agreement or instrument is the valid and
legally binding obligation of Owner and enforceable against Owner according to its respective
terms.

 

2

 

1.2 Owner lawfully owns and possesses the Vessel free from all liens and encumbrances
whatsoever (except as may be expressly permitted by the terms hereof or of the Credit Agreement)
and shall warrant and defend title to and possession of all and every part for the benefit of
Mortgagee against all persons, subject to Liens permitted under Section 7.3 of the Credit
Agreement. Owner shall not set up against Mortgagee and/or any assignee of this Mortgage any claim
of Owner against Mortgagee and/or assignee under any past or future transaction.

1.3 All risk of loss, damage or destruction to or arising from the Vessel shall at all times
be on Owner. Owner shall maintain at all times throughout the term of this Mortgage and at Owner’s
sole expense, the policies of insurance required to be maintained by the Owner pursuant to the
terms of the Credit Agreement, which shall additionally insure the Vessel. The insurance required
hereby shall be in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers as
responsible companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar assets would maintain and
shall otherwise be satisfactory to Mortgagee. In no event shall Mortgagee be responsible for
premiums, warranties, conditions or representations to any insurer or any agent thereof. The
insurance maintained by Owner shall be primary without any right of contribution from insurance
which may be maintained by Mortgagee. Owner shall furnish to Mortgagee a certificate or other
evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that such insurance coverage is in effect. However, Mortgagee
shall be under no duty to ascertain the existence or adequacy of such insurance.

1.4 Owner shall comply with and shall not permit the Vessel to be operated contrary to any
provision of the insurance policies covering the Vessel or contrary to any provision of laws,
treaties, conventions, rules, regulations or orders of the United States, any state and/or any
other jurisdiction where operated. Owner shall not abandon the Vessel in any foreign port, nor,
without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, permit the Vessel to venture outside the
territorial waters of the United States. Unless otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement,
Owner shall do everything necessary from time to time to establish and maintain this Mortgage as a
Preferred Ship Mortgage pursuant to Chapter 313.

1.5 Owner agrees to indemnify and hold Mortgagee harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments or suits (and all
costs, fees and expenses related thereto), arising out of or related to this Mortgage, the Vessel,
or Mortgagee’s interest therein and the manufacture, purchase, possession, use, selection,
operation or condition of the Vessel or any part thereof.

1.6 Neither the Owner nor any agent, master or charterer has the right, power or authority to
create, incur or permit to be placed or imposed on the Vessel in whole or in part any lien other
than for Mortgagee or for crew’s wages or salvage and other than Liens permitted under the Credit
Agreement.

 

3

 

1.7 Owner will carry or cause to be carried a properly certified copy of this Mortgage on
board the Vessel with the documents of the Vessel to be exhibited to any and all persons having
business with the Vessel which might give rise to a maritime lien thereon or to any sale,
conveyance, mortgage or lease thereof, and to any representative of Mortgagee; and will cause to be
placed and kept prominently displayed in the chart room and in the Master’s cabin of the Vessel a
notice, framed under glass, typewritten in plain type of such size that the paragraph
of reading matter shall cover a space not less than six inches wide and nine inches high,
reading as follows:

“NOTICE OF PREFERRED SHIP MORTGAGE

This vessel is owned by _____, a
_____

corporation, and is subject to a
Preferred Ship Mortgage in favor of Barclays Bank PLC (and its successors and
assigns in such capacity), as Mortgagee in its capacity as Administrative Agent for
itself and the Lenders party to a certain credit facility. Under the terms of the
Preferred Ship Mortgage, neither the owner, any charterer, the master, nor any other
person has the right, power or authority to create, incur or permit to be placed or
imposed upon this vessel, its freight, profits or hire, any lien whatsoever, other
than the liens explicitly permitted by the terms of the Preferred Ship Mortgage.”

1.8 Owner shall pay, when due, all taxes, assessments, governmental charges, fines and
penalties lawfully imposed and promptly, discharge any and all Liens upon the Vessel, other than
taxes, assessments, governmental charges, fines and penalties and Liens which are being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been established
and maintained in conformity with GAAP so long as the Vessel is not in jeopardy of being seized,
levied upon or forfeited as a result of such unpaid tax, assessment, governmental charge or Lien.
Except as permitted by Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement, Owner shall, at its own expense, at all
times maintain the Vessel in thorough repair and working order and shall make all proper renewals
and replacements. Except as permitted by Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement, Owner shall, at its
own expense, at all times maintain and preserve the Vessel and all its equipment, outfit and
appurtenances tight, staunch, strong, in good condition, working order and repair and (to the
extent necessary or desirable for its present use) in all respects seaworthy, and if classed by the
American Bureau of Shipping or other classification society, will keep the Vessel in such condition
as to entitle her to such classification. Owner shall immediately notify Mortgagee of any casualty
or damage to the Vessel in an amount equal to or in excess of $500,000, or of the disappearance
thereof.

1.9 If the Vessel shall be libeled, attached, detained, seized or levied upon or taken into
custody under process or under color of any authority, Owner shall forthwith notify Mortgagee by
facsimile, confirmed by letter, and immediately get it released, and in any event within fifteen
(15) days after such libel, attachment, detention, seizure, levy or taking into custody. If any
lien or encumbrance, other than as permitted by Paragraph 1.6, is claimed against the Vessel, which
would constitute a prior lien to this Mortgage or would adversely affect the value of Mortgagee’s
security, Mortgagee may, in its discretion, pay and discharge such lien or encumbrance.

1.10 Owner and any charterer shall at all times afford Mortgagee complete opportunity to
inspect the Vessel and cargoes and papers, and to examine Owner’s and any charterer’s related
accounts and records; and shall certify from time to time, at such intervals as Mortgagee shall
determine, that all wages and all other claims which might give rise to a lien upon the Vessel have
been paid (except as otherwise permitted by Paragraph 1.6).

 

4

 

1.11 Except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, Owner shall not (a) sell,
mortgage, deliver or lease the Vessel, nor charter the Vessel, nor in any manner transfer or agree
to sell, mortgage, lease, charter, deliver or otherwise transfer, to any person, any interest or
control in the Vessel, except with the prior written consent of Mortgagee, and then only if (i) to
persons, and for uses, lawful for American vessels and (ii) the insurance required to be maintained
hereby is unaffected or adequately replaced to the satisfaction of Mortgagee; nor (b) without the
prior written consent of Mortgagee, merge or consolidate with any other person, firm or
corporation, or dissolve. Paragraphs 1.6, 1.7 and 1.10 hereof, and this Paragraph 1.11, shall be
included in any charter party with respect to the Vessel.

1.12 From time to time, Owner shall execute and deliver such other and further instruments and
assurance as, in the opinion of Mortgagee’s counsel, may reasonably be required to subject the
Vessel more effectively to the lien of this Mortgage and as security for the performance of the
Secured Obligations and for operation of the Vessel as provided herein, and to arrange sales as
provided in Paragraph 2.1(c) of Article II.

ARTICLE II.

DEFAULT

2.1 If an “Event of Default” (under and as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, then, Mortgagee
may:

(a) Declare the Secured Obligations to be, and they shall be, due and payable; and/or

(b) Recover judgment for, and collect out of any property of Owner, any amount due;
and/or collect all earned charter hire and freight monies relating to services performed by
the Vessel, if any, Owner assigning to Mortgagee all such charter hire and freight monies
then owing; and/or

(c) Retake the Vessel, with or without legal process, at any time, at any place, and,
without being responsible for loss or damage, hold and in Mortgagee’s or in Owner’s name
lease, charter, operate or otherwise use the Vessel for such time and on such terms as
Mortgagee may deem advisable, being accountable only for net profits, if any, and with the
right to dock the Vessel free of charge at Owner’s premises or elsewhere at Owner’s expense;
and/or sell the Vessel, free from any claim by Owner of any nature whatsoever, in any manner
permitted by law; to the extent so permitted, such sale may be public or private, without
notice, without having the Vessel present, and Mortgagee may become the purchaser.

For such purpose Mortgagee and its agents are irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorneys of Owner in its name and stead to make all necessary transfers of the Vessel thus
sold.

 

5

 

2.2 In the event the Vessel shall be arrested or detained by any officer of any court or by
any other authority, Owner authorizes Mortgagee, its officers, representatives and
appointees, in the name of Owner or of Mortgagee, to receive or to take possession, and to
defend any action and/or discharge any lien.

2.3 Each and every power or remedy given to Mortgagee shall be cumulative, and in addition to
all powers or remedies now or later existing in admiralty, in equity, at law or by statute, and may
be exercised as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee. No delay or omission by Mortgagee
shall impair any right, power or remedy, and no waiver of any default shall waive any other
default. In any suit Mortgagee shall be entitled to obtain appointment of a receiver of the Vessel
and its earnings, who shall have full rights and powers to use and operate the Vessel, and to
obtain a decree ordering and directing its sale and disposition.

2.4 The net proceeds of any judicial or other sale, and any lease, charter, management,
operation or other use of the Vessel by Mortgagee, of any claim for damages, of any judgment, and
any insurance received by Mortgagee (except to the extent paid to Owner or applied in payment of
repairs or otherwise for Owner’s benefit) shall be applied as follows:

	 	 	 
	FIRST:

	 	To the payment of all Attorney Costs, court costs, and any other expenses,
losses, charges, damages incurred or advances made by Mortgagee or Lenders in order to
protect their rights or caused by Owner’s failure to perform any of the Secured
Obligations or any other obligations hereunder, with interest on all such amounts at
the rate set forth in Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, and to provide adequate
indemnity against any liens for which priority over this Mortgage is claimed;

	 
	 	 
	SECOND:

	 	To the payment of the Secured Obligations, and any other obligations of
Owner hereunder, together with interest thereon, all in such order of application as
may be required or permitted by the Loan Documents.

Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect any deficiency from Owner. Owner shall be entitled
to any surplus, subject to setoff in favor of Mortgagee or any Lender for any other
indebtedness of Owner under the Loan Documents.

2.5 All advances and expenditures which Mortgagee or any Lender in their discretion may make
for repairs, insurance, payment of liens or other claims, defense of suits, or for any other
related purpose, and all damages sustained by Mortgagee or any Lender because of defaults, shall be
repaid by Owner on demand with interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then
applicable to Obligations under the Credit Agreement, and until so paid shall be a debt due from
Owner to Mortgagee or such Lender, secured by the lien hereof. Neither Mortgagee nor any Lender
shall be obligated to make any such advances or expenditures, but if made, the Owner is not
relieved of any obligation.

ARTICLE III.

POSSESSION UNTIL EVENT OF DEFAULT

Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Owner shall be permitted to
retain actual possession and use of the Vessel.

ARTICLE IV.

SUNDRY PROVISIONS

All covenants and agreements of Owner shall bind Owner and its successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. In case
any term or provision of this Mortgage shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of the Mortgage, and
this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision was
nonexistent.

For purposes of Section 102(c) of Public Law 100-710 (46 U.S.C. § 31321(b)(3)), the total amount
that is or may become secured by this Mortgage (excluding interest, expenses and fees) is
$ _____; and the discharge amount is the same as the total amount and, although it is not
intended that this Mortgage include any property other than the Vessel, if any determination is
made at any time that for any reason this Mortgage does include any property other than a “vessel”
within the meaning of Section 31322 of Title 46 of the United States Code, then such property may
be separately discharged from the lien of the Mortgage.

The parties hereto acknowledge that certain exercises of rights and remedies hereunder may require
compliance with applicable Gaming Laws, including the Louisiana Gaming Control Law, La. R.S. 27:1,
et seq., together with the regulations applicable to Riverboat Gaming, La. Admin. Code Tit. 42,
Part XIII.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Mortgage to the contrary, nothing in this Mortgage
shall (i) effect any transfer of any ownership interest in Mortgagor or (ii) effect any transfer,
sale, purchase, lease or hypothecation of, or any borrowing or loaning of money against, or any
establishment of any voting trust agreement or similar agreement with respect to any certificate of
suitability or any owner’s license heretofore or hereinafter issued to any person, including
Mortgagor, all within the meaning of La. R.S. 27:31 and La. Admin. Code Tit. 42, Pt. XIII, Ch. 25,
particularly, and any other applicable provisions of the Louisiana Gaming Control Law.

If there is a conflict between this Mortgage and the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit
Agreement shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, on the day and year first above written, Owner has caused this Mortgage to be
executed in its name by its properly authorized officer.
