Alternative Currency; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall
change a Lender’s designation from an Alternative Currency Participating Lender to an
Alternative Currency Funding Lender with respect to such Alternative Currency (and this
definition shall ipso facto be so amended) upon receipt of a written notice
to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from an Alternative Currency Participating
Lender requesting that such Lender’s designation be changed to an Alternative Currency

and (b) as applied to any given type of Revolving Credit Loans, the rate per annum is
determined as follows: during the period from the Closing Date until the first Adjustment
Date, the Applicable Margin in respect of Revolving Credit Loans shall equal (A) with
respect to Base Rate Loans, 1.25% per annum and (B) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans,
2.25% per annum. The Applicable Margins in respect of Revolving Credit Loans will be
adjusted on each subsequent Adjustment Date to the applicable rate per annum set forth under
the heading “Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and Letters of Credit” or “Applicable
Margin for Eurocurrency Loans” on the applicable Pricing Grid which corresponds to the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio determined from the financial statements and compliance
certificate relating to the end of the fiscal quarter

4

 

immediately preceding such Adjustment Date; provided that in the event that the
financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to subsection 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), as
applicable, and the related compliance certificate required to be delivered pursuant to
subsection 7.2(b), are not delivered when due, then

     (i) if such financial statements and certificate are delivered after the date
such financial statements and certificate were required to be delivered (without
giving effect to any applicable cure period) and the Applicable Margin increases
from that previously in effect as a result of the delivery of such financial
statements, then the Applicable Margin in respect of Revolving Credit Loans during
the period from the date upon which such financial statements were required to be
delivered (without giving effect to any applicable cure period) until the date upon
which they actually are delivered shall, except as otherwise provided in clause
(iii) below, be the Applicable Margin as so increased;

     (ii) if such financial statements and certificate are delivered after the date
such financial statements and certificate were required to be delivered and the
Applicable Margin decreases from that previously in effect as a result of the
delivery of such financial statements, then such decrease in the Applicable Margin
shall not become applicable until the date upon which the financial statements and
certificate actually are delivered; and

     (iii) if such financial statements and certificate are not delivered prior to
the expiration of the applicable cure period, then, effective upon such expiration,
for the period from the date upon which such financial statements and certificate
were required to be delivered (after the expiration of the applicable cure period)
until two Business Days following the date upon which they actually are delivered,
(x) the Applicable Margin in respect of Revolving Credit Loans shall be 1.25% per
annum, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and 2.25% per annum, in the case of
Eurocurrency Loans, (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit the
rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 9).

In addition, at all times while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Applicable Margin shall not decrease from that previously in effect as a result of the
delivery of such financial statements and certificate.

     “Applicable Percentage”: (a) in respect of the Term B Facility, with respect
to any Term B Loan Lender at any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal
place) of the Term B Facility represented by (i) on or prior to the Closing Date, such Term
B Loan Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment at such time and (ii) thereafter, the principal
amount of such Term B Loan Lender’s Term B Loans at such time, (b) in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender at any time, the
percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Revolving Credit Facility
represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment at such time, (c)
in respect of the Incremental Term Facility, with respect to any Incremental Term Lender at
any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal

5

 

place) of the Incremental Term Facility represented by (i) on or prior to the date on
which the Incremental Term Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender is fully advanced,
such Incremental Term Lender’s Incremental Term Commitment at such time and (ii) thereafter,
the principal amount of such Incremental Term Lender’s Incremental Term Loans at such time
and (d) in respect of the Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility, with respect to any
Incremental Revolving Tranche Lender at any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth
decimal place) of the Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility represented by such Incremental
Revolving Tranche Lender’s Incremental Revolving Tranche Commitment at such time. If the
commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender to make Revolving Credit Loans and the obligation
of the L/C Issuer to make L/C-BA Credit Extensions have been terminated pursuant to
subsection 9, or if the Revolving Credit Commitments have expired, then the Applicable
Percentage of each Revolving Credit Lender in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility shall
be determined based on the Applicable Percentage of such Revolving Credit Lender in respect
of Revolving Credit Facility most recently in effect, giving effect to any subsequent
assignments. If the commitment of each Incremental Revolving Tranche Lender to make
Incremental Revolving Tranche Loans has been terminated pursuant to subsection 9, or if the
Incremental Revolving Tranche Commitments have expired, then the Applicable Percentage of
each Incremental Revolving Tranche Lender in respect of the Incremental Revolving Tranche
Facility shall be determined based on the Applicable Percentage of such Incremental
Revolving Tranche Lender in respect of Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility most recently

     1.3 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent or the L/C
Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for
calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in
Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and

     (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation
or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of
Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars,
but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative
Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar
amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.0001 of a unit
being rounded upward).

     1.4 Additional Alternative Currencies.

     (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility or any Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility be made and/or
Letters of Credit and/or Bankers’ Acceptances be issued in a currency other than those
specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that such
requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and
freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with
respect to the making of Eurocurrency Loans, such request shall be subject to the

41

 

approval of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders, including
specification by the Administrative Agent of a reasonable Minimum Principal Amount for such
Alternative Currency; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of
Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, such request shall be subject to the approval of
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

     (b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
a.m., 15 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time
or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request
pertaining to Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, the L/C Issuer, in its or their
sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender thereof and of the
proposed Minimum Principal Amount therefor; and in the case of any such request pertaining
to Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
the L/C Issuer thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of any such request
pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans) or the L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to
Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten
Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to
the making of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptances, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

     (c) Any failure by a Revolving Credit Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to
respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be
deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Credit Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, to permit Eurocurrency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances to
be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving
Credit Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Loans in such requested currency, the
Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon and
thereafter be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes
of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances in such requested
currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall
thereupon and thereafter be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder
for purposes of any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance issuances. If the
Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency
under this subsection 1.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

     1.5 Change of Currency.

     (a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national
currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful
currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption
(in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such
member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of
that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank
market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such

42

 

expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the
date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided
that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior
to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end
of the then current Interest Period.

     (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may from time
to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of
the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

     (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes
of construction as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may from
time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country
and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

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

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

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

     2.1 The Loans. (a) The Term B Loan Borrowings. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Term B Loan Lender hereby severally agrees to make a single loan
(each such loan, a “Term B Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in an
amount not to exceed such Term B Loan Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Term B Facility. The
Term B Loan Borrowing shall consist of Term B Loans made simultaneously by the Term B Loan Lenders
in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Term B Facility. Amounts borrowed
under this subsection 2.1 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term B Loans may be Base
Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as further provided herein, and may not be converted into a
currency other than Dollars.

     (b) The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender (through its applicable Lending Office) hereby
severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Credit Loan”) to the
Borrower in Dollars or (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2(g) in one or more

43

 

Alternative Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period, in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total
Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender (less, with
respect only to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative
Currency Risk Participations in all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies),
plus, with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, the
Outstanding Amount of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Loans
denominated in Alternative Currencies and advanced by the Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations plus such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. Within the limits of each
Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this subsection 2.1(b), prepay under
subsection 4.2, and reborrow under this subsection 2.1(b). Revolving Credit Loans may be
Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as further provided herein. All Base Rate Loans
shall be denominated only in Dollars. Eurocurrency Loans may be denominated in Dollars or
in an Alternative Currency. All Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency must be Eurocurrency Loans.

     (c) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any
Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to
subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans or Term B
Loans, as the case may be, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving
Credit Note or Term B Note, as applicable, with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and
principal amount, payable to such Revolving Credit Lender or Term B Loan Lender, as
applicable, and in a principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans or Term B Loans, as the case may be, made by such Lender to the Borrower. Each
Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the applicable
Termination Date, (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with subsection
4.1 and (iv) in the case of Term B Notes, be payable as provided in subsection 2.5.

     2.2 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans; Alternative Currency Funding and
Participation. (a) Each Term B Loan Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each
conversion of Term B Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurocurrency Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than (i) 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date
of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or
of any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans

44

 

denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) 1:00 p.m. four Business Days (or five Business
Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and
(iii) 12:00 noon one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans;
provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having
an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the
definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing,
conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) five Business Days
(or six Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies,
whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such
request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not
later than 1:00 p.m., (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing,
conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) four Business Days
(or five Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of
such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone)
whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Appropriate Lenders.
Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.2(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in an amount not less than the Minimum Principal
Amount. Except as provided in subsection 3.1(c) and subsection 2.4(c), each Borrowing of or
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i)
whether the Borrower is requesting a Term B Loan Borrowing, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a
conversion of Term B Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation
of Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the
case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term B Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto, and (vi) the currency of the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed. If the
Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loans so
requested shall be made in Dollars. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan
Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Term B Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to,
Eurocurrency Loans in their original currencies with an Interest Period of one month. Any such
automatic conversion to Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month shall be effective
as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurocurrency Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of
Eurocurrency Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Revolving Credit Loan may be
converted into or continued as a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a different currency, but

45

 

instead must be repaid in the original currency of such Revolving Credit Loan and reborrowed
in the other currency.

     (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing denominated in Dollars or
in an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has not received
notice that any Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable
Percentage under the applicable Facility of the applicable Term B Loans or Revolving Credit
Loans. Following receipt of a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing denominated in an
Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have
received notice that one or more Lenders is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender,
the Administrative Agent shall on the next following Business Day notify (i) each
Alternative Currency Funding Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent amount and the Alternative
Currency Equivalent amount of its Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share, (ii) the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent amount and the
Alternative Currency Equivalent amount of the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk
Participations in its Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share, (iii) each Alternative
Currency Participating Lender of both the Dollar Equivalent amount and the Alternative
Currency Equivalent amount of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation in such Borrowing,
and (iv) all Revolving Credit Lenders and the Borrower of the aggregate Alternative Currency
Equivalent amount and the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Borrowing and the applicable Spot
Rate used by Administrative Agent to determine such Dollar Equivalent Amount. If no timely
notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Eurocurrency Loans
with an Interest Period of one month or continuation of Loans denominated in a currency
other than Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of
(i) a Term B Loan Borrowing or (ii) a Revolving Credit Borrowing in Dollars or in an
Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has not received notice
that any Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each Appropriate Lender
shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at
the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan
denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the
Administrative Agent in the case of any Loan in any such Alternative Currency, in each case
on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. In the case of a Borrowing in
an Alternative Currency with respect to which the Administrative Agent has received notice
that any Revolving Credit Lender is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each
Alternative Currency Funding Lender shall make the amount of its Alternative Currency
Funding Pro Rata Share in such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent
in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Applicable Time,
on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. In any event, a Revolving
Credit Lender may cause an Affiliate to fund or make the amount of its Loan available in
accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in subsection 6.2 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
subsection 6.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the
account of the

46

 

Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided,
however, that if, on the date a Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit
Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the Borrower, there are L/C-BA Borrowings
outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be
applied to the payment in full of any such L/C-BA Borrowings, and second, shall be
made available to the Borrower as provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan. During the
existence of an Event of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f), no Loans may be
requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans (whether in Dollars or any
Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, in the case of
a Revolving Credit Loan, or the Required Term B Lenders, in the case of a Term B Loan, and
the Required Revolving Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans which are Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be
redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. During the existence of an Event
of Default, other than those Events of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f), (1) the
Required Revolving Lenders, in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan, may require that no
Revolving Credit Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans
(whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required
Revolving Lenders, (2) the Required Term B Lenders, in the case of a Term B Loan, may
require that no Term B Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans without
the consent of the Required Term B Lenders, and (3) the Required Revolving Lenders may
demand that any or all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurocurrency
Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of
the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with
respect thereto.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime
rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change.

     (e) After giving effect to all Term B Loan Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term B Loans as the same Type, there
shall not be more than eight Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term B Facility.
After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit
Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans as the
same Type, there shall not be more than twelve Interest Periods in effect in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility.

47

 

     (f) Anything in this subsection 2.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
not select (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for the initial Credit Extension or (ii) Interest
Periods for Term B Loans as Eurocurrency Loans that have a duration of more than one month
during the period from the date hereof to the date which is 15 days after the Closing Date
(or such earlier date as shall be specified by the Administrative Agent in a notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders).

     (g) Alternative Currency Funding and Participation.

     (i) Subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the
provisions of subsection 2.1(b), and without limitation of the provisions of subsection 2.2,
with respect to any Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which one
or more Revolving Credit Lenders has given notice to the Administrative Agent that it is an
Alternative Currency Participating Lender, (A) each Revolving Credit Lender agrees from time
to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period to fund its Applicable Percentage
of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which it is
an Alternative Currency Funding Lender; and (B) each Revolving Credit Lender severally
agrees to acquire an Alternative Currency Risk Participation in Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which it is an Alternative Currency
Participating Lender.

     (ii) Each Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be funded upon the request
of the Borrower in accordance with subsection 2.2(b). Immediately upon the funding by the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender of its respective Alternative Currency Funding
Pro Rata Share of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency with respect to which one
or more Revolving Credit Lenders is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender, each
Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably
and unconditionally purchased from such Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender an
Alternative Currency Risk Participation in such Loan in an amount such that, after such
purchase, each Revolving Credit Lender (including the Alternative Currency Funding Lenders,
the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender and the Alternative Currency Participating
Lenders) will have an Alternative Currency Loan Credit Exposure with respect to such Loan
equal in amount to its Applicable Percentage of such Loan.

     (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative
Agent delivered not later than 11:00 a.m., on the second Business Day preceding the proposed
date of funding and payment by Alternative Currency Participating Lenders of their
Alternative Currency Risk Participations purchased in such Loans as shall be specified in
such notice (the “Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date”), request each
Alternative Currency Participating Lender to fund the Dollar Equivalent of its Alternative
Currency Risk Participation purchased with respect to such Loans to the Administrative Agent
on the Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date in Dollars. Following receipt of
such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Alternative Currency
Participating Lender of the Dollar

48

 

Equivalent Amount of its Alternative Currency Risk Participation purchased with respect
to each such Loan (determined at the Spot Rate on the date of advance of such Loan) and the
applicable Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date. Any notice given by the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
subsection may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the
absence of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice.

     (iv) On the applicable Alternative Currency Participation Payment Date, each
Alternative Currency Participating Lender in the Loans specified for funding pursuant to
this subsection 2.2(g) shall deliver the amount of such Alternative Currency Participating
Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participation with respect to such specific Loans in
Dollars and in Same Day Funds to the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that no Alternative Currency Participating Lender shall be responsible for
any default by any other Alternative Currency Participating Lender in such other Alternative
Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to pay such amount. Upon receipt of any such
amounts from the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such Dollar amounts in Same Day Funds to the Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender.

     (v) In the event that any Alternative Currency Participating Lender fails to make
available to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Alternative Currency Risk
Participation as provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such
amount on behalf of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender on demand from such
Alternative Currency Participating Lender together with interest at the Overnight Rate for
three (3) Business Days and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts
owing hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

     (vi) In the event that the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender receives a
payment in respect of any Loan, whether directly from a Borrower or a Guarantor or
otherwise, in which Alternative Currency Participating Lenders have fully funded in Dollars
their purchase of Alternative Currency Risk Participations, the Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender shall promptly distribute to the Administrative Agent, for its distribution
to each such Alternative Currency Participating Lender, the Dollar Equivalent of such
Alternative Currency Participating Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such payment in Dollars
and in Same Day Funds. If any payment received by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting
Lender with respect to any Loan in an Alternative Currency made by it shall be required to
be returned by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender after such time as the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender has distributed such payment to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, each Alternative
Currency Participating Lender that has received a portion of such payment shall pay to the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage in
Dollars of the amount to be returned; provided, however, that no Alternative Currency
Participating Lender shall be responsible for any default by any

49

 

other Alternative Currency Participating Lender in that other Alternative Currency
Participating Lender’s obligation to pay such amount.

     (vii) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Alternative
Currency Participating Lender’s obligation to acquire and pay for its purchase of
Alternative Currency Risk Participations as set forth herein shall be absolute, irrevocable
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Alternative Currency Participating Lender may have against the Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a
Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any
Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by any Guarantor, the Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     (viii) In no event shall (i) the Alternative Currency Risk Participation of any
Alternative Currency Participating Lender in any Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency pursuant to this subsection 2.2(g) be construed as a loan or other extension of
credit by such Alternative Currency Participating Lender to the Borrower, any Lender or the
Administrative Agent or (ii) this Agreement be construed to require any Lender that is an
Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to a specific Alternative Currency to
make any Loans in such Alternative Currency under this Agreement or under the other Loan
Documents, subject to the obligation of each Alternative Currency Participating Lender to
give notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time such Lender acquires
the ability to make Revolving Credit Loans in such Alternative Currency.

     2.3 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, or from
time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that
(a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon three
Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (b) the Borrower shall not terminate
or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any
concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, and (c) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such notice of
termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. The amount of any such
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency
Sublimit, the Letter of Credit-BA Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by
the Borrower. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the
Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Applicable

50

 

Revolving Credit Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of
the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any
notice of termination under this subsection 2.3 if such termination would have been made in
connection with a refinancing or replacement of all of the Revolving Credit Loans or of the
Revolving Credit Facility provided by this Agreement, which refinancing or replacement shall not be
consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

     2.4 Swing Line Commitments. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders set forth in this subsection 2.4, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a
“Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the
amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when
aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving
Credit Loans and L/C-BA Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the
amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed
the Revolving Credit Facility at such time, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Revolving Credit Loans of any Revolving Credit Lender at such time (less, with respect only
to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk
Participations in all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), plus, with respect only
to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk
Participations in Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies advanced by the Alternative Currency
Funding Fronting Lender for such Lender, plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations at such time,
plus such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this subsection 2.4, prepay under subsection 4.2, and
reborrow under this subsection 2.4. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately
upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation
in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which
may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and
the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall
specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the
requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must
be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice,

51

 

appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly
after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing
Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing
Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in
writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing
the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set
forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection 2.4(a), or (B) that one or more of
the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the
borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line
Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of the Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds.

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in
its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each
Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice
for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of subsection 2.2, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate
Loans, but subject to the Available Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set
forth in subsection 6.2. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of
the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative
Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the
Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to subsection 2.4(c)(ii), each
Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base
Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.4(c)(i), the request for
Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be
deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit
Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each
Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsection 2.4(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.

52

 

     (iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to
be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection
2.4(c) by the time specified in subsection 2.4(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment
is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing
Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to
time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender
pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of
the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
demonstrable error.

     (iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
subsection 2.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of
a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s
obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.4(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

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

     (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender
under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the
Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of
the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing
Line Lender. The obligations

53

 

of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each
Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this
subsection 2.4 to refinance such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

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

     2.5 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of: (i) each Revolving Credit Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to the Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier
date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); (ii) the
Swing Line Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans made to the Borrower,
on the Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (or such earlier date on
which the Swing Line Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); (iii) each Term B Loan
Lender, in consecutive semi-annual installments (subject to reduction as provided in subsection
4.2), on the dates and in the principal amounts, (together with all accrued interest thereon) (or
such earlier date on which the Term B Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9) and on
the dates set forth below:

(iv) each Incremental Term Lender in the principal amounts (together with all accrued interest
thereon) and on the dates set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment and (v) each
Incremental Revolving Tranche Lender in the principal amounts (together with all accrued

54

 

interest thereon) and on the dates set forth in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment.
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 subsection 4.1.

     (b) Each Lender (including the Swing Line 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, without limitation,
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect
of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of demonstrable error.

     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection
11.6(c), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and currency thereof and each Interest Period, if any,
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 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 absent demonstrable error; 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.

     2.6 Incremental Facilities. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, by
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders),
request the addition of a new tranche of term loans (an “Incremental Term Facility”), a new
tranche of revolving loans (an “Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility” and, together with
the Incremental Term Facility, the “Incremental Facilities”) or an increase in the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) or a
combination thereof; provided that at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of
the Incremental Facility Amendment referred to below, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall
exist, and (ii) Holding shall be in Pro Forma Compliance. Each Incremental Term Facility shall be
in an aggregate principal amount not less than $50,000,000, and each Incremental Revolving Tranche
Facility and Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less
than $25,000,000. Each Incremental Facility (a) shall rank pari passu or junior in
right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (b) in the
case of an Incremental Revolving Tranche Facility, shall not mature earlier than the Termination
Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, (c) in the case of an Incremental Term
Facility, shall not mature earlier than the Termination Date with respect to the Term B

55

 

Facility (but may, subject to clause (c) below, have amortization and commitment reductions
prior to such date), (d) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, shall have a weighted average
life that is not less than that of the Term B Loans, (e) in the case of an Incremental Term
Facility, for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated no more favorably than the Term B Loans and
(f) shall not contain additional or different covenants or financial covenants which are more
restrictive than the covenants herein on the Closing Date or the Financial Covenants unless
otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent. Any such notice shall set forth the amount and
terms of the relevant Incremental Facility or Incremental Revolving Commitment requested by the
Borrower and to be agreed by any Lenders or Additional Lenders (as herein defined) under such
Incremental Facility or providing such Incremental Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may arrange
for one or more banks or other financial institutions, each of which shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and, with respect only to Incremental
Revolving Tranche Facilities and Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C
Issuer and the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender (any such bank or other financial
institution being called an “Additional Lender”), to extend commitments under the
Incremental Facility or provide a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment, and each
existing Lender shall be afforded an opportunity, but shall not be required, to provide a portion
of any such Incremental Facility or provide a portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment.
Commitments in respect of Incremental Facilities or any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall
become Commitments under this Agreement, and each Additional Lender shall become a Lender under
this Agreement, pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each existing
Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the
Administrative Agent. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other
Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent (but
only to the extent) necessary to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any
Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of
the conditions set forth in subsection 6.2 (it being understood that all references to “the date of
such Borrowing” in such subsection 6.2 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such
Incremental Facility Amendment). The proceeds of the Incremental Facilities or any Incremental
Revolving Commitment will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT AND BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCES

     3.1 Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances.

     (a) The Letter of Credit – BA Commitment.

     (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in
this subsection 3.1, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period
from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, to issue
Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies
for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters
of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b)

56

 

below, (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit and (3) with respect
to Acceptance Credits, to create Bankers’ Acceptances in accordance with the terms
thereof and hereof; and (B) the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to
participate in Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued for the account of
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after
giving effect to any L/C-BA Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit,
(1) (x) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving
Credit Facility, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
of any Revolving Credit Lender (less, with respect only to the Alternative
Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the aggregate Alternative Currency Risk
Participations in all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies), plus,
with respect only to the Alternative Currency Participating Lenders, such Lender’s
Alternative Currency Risk Participations in Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies advanced by the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for such
Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall
not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount
of the L/C-BA Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit-BA Sublimit and (2)
as to Acceptance Credits, the Bankers’ Acceptance created or to be created
thereunder shall not be an eligible bankers’ acceptance under Section 13 of the
Federal Revenue Act (12U.S.C.§ 372). Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit
shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing
period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or
that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

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

     (A) the maturity date of any Bankers’ Acceptance issued under any such
requested Acceptance Credit would occur no earlier than 30 nor later than 120 days
from date of issuance and in any event not later than 60 days before the Letter of
Credit-BA Expiration Date, unless the Required Revolving Lenders (other than
Defaulting Lenders) have approved such expiry date; or

     (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit or the maturity date of
any Bankers’ Acceptance issued under such requested Letter of Credit would occur
after the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Credit
Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders) have approved such expiry date.

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

     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from

57

 

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

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

     (C) except as otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the L/C
Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars
or an Alternative Currency;

     (D) subject to subsection 3.1(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter
of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last
extension; or

     (E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under subsection 3.1(c)
exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender
to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

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

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

     (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A)
provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 10 with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by
it or Bankers’ Acceptances created by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer
Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances as fully as
if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 10

58

 

included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

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

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon
the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of
Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as
the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to
the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of
a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which
shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date
thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to
be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full
text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H)
such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a
request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment
thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment;
and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably request. Additionally,
the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or
amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request. In the event that any Letter of Credit Application
includes representations and warranties, covenants and/or events of default that do
not contain the materiality qualifiers, exceptions or thresholds that are applicable
to the analogous provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Documents, or are
otherwise more restrictive, the relevant qualifiers, exceptions and thresholds
contained herein shall be incorporated therein or, to the extent more restrictive,
shall be deemed for the purposes of such Letter of Credit Application to be the same
as the analogous provisions herein.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer
will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from
the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with
a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any
Revolving Credit Lender, the Administrative Agent or

59

 

any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more
applicable conditions contained in subsection 6.2 shall not then be satisfied, or
that the limits in the proviso to subsection 3.1(a)(i) would be exceeded by the
issuance of the subject Letter of Credit, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for
the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C
Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of
each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such
Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of
such Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the creation of each Bankers’ Acceptance
each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such
Bankers’ Acceptance in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such Bankers’ Acceptance.

     (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that unless the
Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer otherwise agree any such Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least
once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a
day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month, or longer,
period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless
otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required
to make a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension.
Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit
Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to
permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not
later than the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension
if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have
no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or
(iii) of subsection 3.1(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days
before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving
Credit Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions
specified in subsection 6.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing
the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

60

 

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

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of
a drawing or, with respect to any Acceptance Credit, presentation of documents,
under such Letter of Credit or any presentation for payment of a Bankers’
Acceptance, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance denominated in an
Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in such
Alternative Currency, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified
in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence
of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower shall have
notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the
Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such
reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency, the L/C Issuer will notify the
Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing (or presentation for
payment under a Bankers’ Acceptance) promptly following the determination thereof.
Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter
of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the
Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of
Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, to be reimbursed in an Alternative
Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the
L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing or Bankers’ Acceptance, as applicable, in the applicable currency;
provided that if notice of such drawing is not provided to the Borrower
prior to 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date, then the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C
Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing in the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing fees in respect of any such Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the Honor
Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of
the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the
Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in subsection 2.2 for the principal amount of Base
Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the

61

 

unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set
forth in subsection 6.2 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice
given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection
3.1(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness
or binding effect of such notice.

     (ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection
3.1(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to
its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent,
whereupon, subject to the provisions of subsection 3.1(c)(iii), each Revolving
Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds
so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
subsection 6.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice) cannot be
satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
from the L/C Issuer an L/C-BA Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount
that is not so refinanced, which L/C-BA Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand
(together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such
event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment
in respect of its participation in such L/C-BA Borrowing and shall constitute an
L/C-BA Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this subsection 3.1.

     (iv) Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or
L/C-BA Advance pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for
any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit or payments made on any Bankers’
Acceptance, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

     (v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
L/C-BA Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of
Credit and payments made on a Bankers’ Acceptance, as contemplated by this
subsection 3.1(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing; provided, however, that

62

 

each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans
pursuant to this subsection 3.1(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
subsection 6.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice ). No such
making of an L/C-BA Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C
Issuer under any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance, together with interest as
provided herein.

     (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be
paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.1(c)
by the time specified in subsection 3.1(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a
rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C
Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with
interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C-BA Advance in respect of the relevant
L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any
Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this subsection 3.1(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent
demonstrable error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer pursuant to subsection 3.1(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of
the circumstances described in subsection 11.7 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its
Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate
from time to time in effect. The obligations of the

63

 

Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and each payment under any Bankers’
Acceptance and to repay each L/C-BA Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the
following:

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

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or
any transferee of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance (or any Person for
whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or
any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction, provided
that the Borrower shall not be precluded from pursuing its rights and remedies in a
separate action;

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

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

     (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of
the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the
relevant currency markets generally; or

     (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might

64

 

otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries.

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

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit or making any payment under a Bankers’ Acceptance, the L/C
Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft,
certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or
inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person
executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative
Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted
in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Credit Lenders
or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any
Letter of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptance or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of
any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance; provided, however, that this
assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such
rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective
Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of
subsection 3.1(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C
Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct,
as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the
Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or
the L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit or to honor any Bankers’
Acceptance presented for payment in strict compliance with its terms and conditions. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument endorsing, transferring or
assigning or purporting to endorse, transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

65

 

     (g) Cash Collateral. (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if
the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit
and such drawing has resulted in an L/C-BA Borrowing and the conditions set forth in
subsection 6.2 with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing cannot then be met, or (B) if,
as of the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, any L/C-BA Obligation for any reason remains
outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall, in each case, within three
Business Days Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations (in
an amount equal to at least 105% of such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of
such L/C-BA Borrowing or the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date, as the case may be) or, in
the case of clause (B), provide a back-to-back letter of credit or bankers’ acceptance, as
applicable, in a face amount of at least equal to 105% of the then undrawn amount of such
Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance from an issuer and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer or other credit support reasonably satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer;

     (ii) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time
that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of
the Letter of Credit-BA Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days
after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C-BA
Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all
L/C-BA Obligations exceeds the L/C-BA Letter of Credit Sublimit;

     (iii) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the
initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be
provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations;

     (iv) Subsection 4.2 and Section 9 set forth certain additional requirements to
deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this subsection 3.1, subsection
4.2 and Section 9, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C-BA Obligations, cash or deposit account balances
pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by
the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in
blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts under sole dominion and control of the
Administrative Agent. Upon request of the Borrower, to the extent that the amount
of Cash Collateral exceeds 105% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C-BA
Obligations required to be Cash Collateralized, the excess shall be promptly
refunded to the Borrower. Upon request of the Borrower, following the cessation,
cure or waiver or any event or condition giving rise to an obligation to Cash
Collateralize under this Agreement, the Cash Collateral shall promptly be refunded
to the Borrower.

66

 

     (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C
Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit-BA fee (the “Letter of Credit-BA Fee”) (i)
for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 50% of the Applicable Margin then in effect
for Eurocurrency Loans which are Revolving Credit Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit or the maximum stated amount
of such Bankers’ Acceptance, as the case may be, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit
equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans which are Revolving
Credit Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under
such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with subsection 1.6. Letter of Credit-BA Fees shall be (i) due and payable on
the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and Bankers’
Acceptance, as the case may be, on the Letter of Credit-BA Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the
Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans which are Revolving Credit Loans
during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit and
Bankers’ Acceptance shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for
each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Revolving
Lenders, while any Event of Default under subsection 9(a) exists, all Letter of Credit-BA
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.
The Borrower shall pay directly to the relevant L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars,
a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, at the rates specified in the Fee Letter (or such lesser amount as
the relevant L/C Issuer and the Borrower may agree), computed on the Dollar Equivalent of
the amount of such Letter of Credit, (i) for commercial Letters of Credit, (A) payable upon
the issuance thereof and (B) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit
increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, payable upon the effectiveness of such
amendment and (ii) with respect to standby Letters of Credit, on a quarterly basis in
arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end
of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly
period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit-BA
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit,

67

 

the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with subsection
1.6. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in
Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from
time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and
payable within five Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

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

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

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

     4.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest
for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day plus
(in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan of any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United
Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost.

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

     (c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest
payable thereon or (iii) any commitment fee, letter of credit commission, Letter of Credit –
BA Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum which is equal to the Default Rate from the date of such non-payment until such
amount is paid in full (as well after 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 subsection shall
be payable from time to time on demand.

     (e) It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with applicable usury
laws; accordingly, it is stipulated and agreed that the aggregate of all amounts which
constitute interest under applicable usury laws, whether contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved, or received, in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement or
any Notes, or any other document relating or referring hereto or thereto,

68

 

now or hereafter existing, shall never exceed under any circumstance whatsoever the
maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable usury laws.

     (f) Notwithstanding subsection 4.4(a), for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada),
(i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated on the basis of a year
(the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the
calendar year of calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a
yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by the actual number of days in
the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year,
(ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest
calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated herein are intended to be
nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

     (g) Interest on any Loan in an Alternative Currency advanced by the Alternative
Currency Funding Fronting Lender shall be for the benefit of the Alternative Currency
Funding Fronting Lender, and not any Alternative Currency Participating Lender, until the
applicable Alternative Currency Participating Lender has funded its participation therein to
the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender.

     4.2 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from
time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the Loans made to it and the
Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances issued or documented
for its account, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, provided that such notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior
to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days (or
five Business Days, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies)
prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and
(iii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify, in the case of
any prepayment of Loans, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of
Term B Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, or a combination thereof, (ii) in the
case of Revolving Loans, of the relevant Borrowing of such Loans to be repaid, and (iii) of
Eurocurrency Loans, Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination
thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and, in the case of any prepayment of Unreimbursed
Amounts, the date and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or
Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance or Bankers’ Acceptances and the amount allocable to each
of such Unreimbursed Amounts. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each affected Lender thereof; in the event such prepayment is of a Loan denominated
in an Alternative Currency, the Administrative Agent shall also notify each Alternative Currency
Funding Lender with respect to such Loan of its Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata Share of such
payment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid other than at the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.10 and,
in the case of prepayments of the Term B Loans only, accrued interest to such date on the amount
prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of
prepayment under this subsection 4.2(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing
of the Loans, which refinancing shall not have been consummated or shall have

69

 

otherwise been delayed. Partial prepayments of (i) the Term B Loans pursuant to this
subsection shall be applied to the respective installments of principal thereof as directed by the
Borrower in its prepayment notice, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Loans and the Unreimbursed Amounts
pursuant to this subsection shall (unless the Borrower otherwise directs) be applied,
first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of
the Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans designated by the Borrower, third, to payment of
any Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding and, last, to Cash Collateralize any outstanding
L/C-BA Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Partial
prepayments pursuant to this subsection 4.2(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
voluntary prepayment of the Term B Loans effected on or prior to the first anniversary of the
Closing Date as a result of a Repricing Transaction shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal
to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term B Loans prepaid, unless such prepayment premium is
waived by the applicable Term B Loan Lender.

     (b) If on or after the Closing Date (i) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
incur Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to
subsection 8.2, except as otherwise specified in subsection 8.2) pursuant to a public
offering or private placement or otherwise, (ii) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
shall make an Asset Sale pursuant to subsection 8.6(i), (iii) a Recovery Event occurs or
(iv) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into a Sale and Leaseback
Transaction, then, in each case, the Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with subsection
4.2(d), the Term B Loans and, if so provided in the applicable Incremental Facility
Amendment, the Incremental Term Loans if any then outstanding in an amount equal to (x) in
the case of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof
minus any Permitted Acquisition Amount, (y) in the case of any such Asset Sale or Recovery
Event, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof minus any Reinvested Amounts in accordance with
the terms thereof as in effect on the Closing Date, and (z) in the case of any such Sale and
Leaseback Transaction, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof minus any Reinvested Amounts,
in each case with such prepayment to be made on the Business Day following the date of
receipt of any such Net Cash Proceeds (except, in each case, as provided in subsection
4.2(g) and except that, in the case of clause (x), if any such Net Cash Proceeds are
eligible to be used to pay the cash consideration for an acquisition permitted by subsection
8.9(b) in accordance with the definition of the term “Permitted Acquisition Amount” in
subsection 1.1 and the Borrower has not elected to so apply such proceeds, such prepayment
to be made on the earlier of (1) the date occurring 90 days after the receipt of such Net
Cash Proceeds and (2) the date on which the Borrower shall have determined not to acquire
any business, assets or Capital Stock in an acquisition permitted by subsection 8.9(b) with
all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds and except that, in the case of clauses (y) and
(z), if any such Net Cash Proceeds are eligible to be reinvested in accordance with the
definition of the term “Reinvested Amount” in subsection 1.1 and the Borrower has not
elected to reinvest such proceeds, such prepayment to be made on the earlier of (1) the date
on which the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to such effect is
delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with such definition and (2) the last
day of the period within which a certificate setting forth such election is required to be

70

 

delivered in accordance with such definition). Nothing in this paragraph (b) shall
limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 9.

     (c) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any Permitted Receivables
Transaction, on the next Business Day the Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with
subsection 4.2(d), the Term B Loans and, if provided in the applicable Incremental Facility
Amendment, Incremental Term Loans, if any then outstanding, in an aggregate amount equal to
the Permitted Receivables Transaction Prepayment Amount in respect of such Permitted
Receivables Transaction.

     (d) Prepayments pursuant to subsections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c) shall be applied to prepay
Term B Loans and, if so provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment,
Incremental Term Loans, if any then outstanding on a pro rata basis.
Prepayments of Term B Loans, Incremental Term Loans, if any, pursuant to subsections 4.2(b)
and 4.2(c) shall be applied pro rata to the respective installments of
principal thereof, provided that, any such payment may, at the option of the
Borrower, be first applied to the installments thereof due in the next twelve months and,
thereafter, the remainder of such prepayment shall be allocated and applied pro rata as
provided above.

     (e) Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2(a), 4.2(b) or
4.2(c) may not be reborrowed.

     (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 4.2, if at any time any
prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.2(b), 4.2(c) or 4.2(g) would result,
after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring
breakage costs under subsection 4.10 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other
than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the Borrower may, so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole
discretion, initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would
have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which
deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately
prepaid) to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment
pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first
occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such
Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower);
provided that, such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in
accordance with subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion
of such Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subsection 4.2(b), 4.2(c), 4.2(d) or
4.6, with respect to the amount of any optional prepayment or mandatory prepayment described
in subsection 4.2 that is to be applied to Term Loans (such amount, the “Term Loan
Prepayment Amount”), at any time when Term Loans remain outstanding and the Term Loan
Prepayment Amount is not sufficient to repay the principal amount of the Term Loans in full,
the Borrower will, in lieu of applying such

71

 

amount to the prepayment of Term Loans, as provided in subsection 4.2(b), 4.2(c) or
4.2(d) above, on the date specified in this subsection 4.2 for such prepayment, give the
Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) thereof and the
Administrative Agent shall prepare and provide to each Term Loan Lender a notice (each, a
“Prepayment Option Notice”) as described below. As promptly as practicable after
receiving such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will send to each Term
Loan Lender a Prepayment Option Notice, which shall be in the form of Exhibit I, and shall
include an offer by the Borrower to prepay on the date (each a “Prepayment Date”)
that is five Business Days after the date of the Prepayment Option Notice, the Term Loans of
such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Term Loan
Prepayment Amount (the “Individual Term Loan Prepayment Amount”). In the event any
such Lender desires to accept the Borrower’s offer in whole or in part, such Lender shall so
advise the Administrative Agent by return notice no later than the close of business two
Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent, which return
notice shall also include any amount of such Lender’s Individual Term Loan Prepayment Amount
such Lender does not wish to receive. If any Lender does not respond to the Administrative
Agent within the allotted time or indicate the amount of the Individual Term Loan Prepayment
Amount it does not wish to receive, such Lender will be deemed to have accepted the
Borrower’s offer in whole and shall receive 100% of its Individual Term Loan Prepayment
Amount. On the Prepayment Date the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loan Prepayment Amount,
and (i) the aggregate amount thereof necessary to prepay that portion of the outstanding
relevant Term Loans in respect of which such Term Loan Lenders have accepted prepayment as
described above shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans, and (ii) the aggregate
amount (if any) equal to the portion of the Term Loan Prepayment Amount not accepted by the
relevant Term Loan Lenders shall be returned to the Borrower.

     (h) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding
Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount
equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within five
Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an aggregate
amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount
not to exceed 100% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.

     4.3 Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. (a) 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 first day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period to
the Termination Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the 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
Termination Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility or such earlier date as the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on June 30, 2007.

     (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Other
Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing

72

 

by the Borrower, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection
with this Agreement.

     (c) The Borrower shall pay directly to the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting
Lender, for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to the portion of each
Borrowing in an Alternative Currency advanced by such Alternative Currency Funding Fronting
Lender for an Alternative Currency Participating Lender (but excluding the portion of such
advance constituting the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Borrowing as an Alternative Currency Funding Lender), equal to 0.125%
times such portion of such Borrowing, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing,
such fee to be payable on the date of such Borrowing.

     4.4 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Margin.
(a) Except as set forth in subsection 4.1(f), interest (other than interest based on the Prime
Rate) and fees (other than commitment fees) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for
the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days
elapsed; provided that, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Special Notice
Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing at the time the Borrower requests
such currencies pursuant to subsection 1.4, in accordance with such market practice at such time
upon notice to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the
interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve
Percentage 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 affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

     (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 demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the
Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in
reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any
interest rate pursuant to subsection 4.1.

     4.5 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest
Period, 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 Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any
Eurocurrency Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) (the “Affected
Eurocurrency Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or
telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If
such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars the rate of interest
applicable to which is based on the Affected Eurocurrency Rate requested to be made on the first
day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans and (b) any outstanding Loans
denominated in Dollars, as applicable, that were to have been converted on the first day of such
Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to

73

 

which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate shall be converted to or continued as Base
Rate Loans. Any outstanding Eurodollar Loans in an Alternative Currency that were to have been
continued on the first day of such Interest Period as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest
applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency Rate shall be immediately repaid by the
Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto together with
accrued interest thereon. If any such repayment occurs on a day which is not the last day of the
then current Interest Period with respect to such affected Eurocurrency Loan, the Borrower shall
pay to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to
subsection 4.10. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further
Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurocurrency
Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Base Rate
Loans to Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected
Eurocurrency Rate.

     4.6 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All
payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff (other than with respect to Taxes which shall be
governed solely by subsection 4.9). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with
respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments
by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office
in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to
principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at
the Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than
the Applicable Time determined by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments
due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is
prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the
Borrower shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar
Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount and such payment shall satisfy the Borrower’s
obligation with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender
its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein, including without
limitation the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender’s Alternative Currency Funding Pro Rata
Share of any payment made with respect to any Loan as to which any Alternative Currency
Participating Lender has not funded its Alternative Currency Risk Participation) of any payment
hereunder for the account of the Lenders in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in
the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time determined by the Administrative
Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If
any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

74

 

     (b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. (i) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
subsection 2.2 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by subsection 2.2) and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available
to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”),
at in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent
in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon
the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand
therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative
Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal
to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice
any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a
result of any default by such Lender hereunder. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid
by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing
to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid (excluding the amount of any interest
which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without
prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make
such payment to the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior
to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment
on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In
such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or
the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is

75

 

distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

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

     (c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Loans, including Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies in the event they are
Alternative Currency Funding Lenders, and to fund Alternative Currency Risk Participations
(if they are Alternative Currency Participating Lenders) and participations in Letters of
Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to
subsection 11.5(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan,
including Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency in the event it is an Alternative
Currency Funding Lender, or to fund any such Alternative Currency Risk Participations (if it
is an Alternative Currency Participating Lender) or any such participation or to make any
payment under subsection 11.5(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, including Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency in the event it is an Alternative Currency Funding
Lender, to purchase its Alternative Currency Risk Participations (if it is an Alternative
Currency Participating Lender) and to purchase its participations, or to make its payment
under subsection 11.5(b).

     (d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 4, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit
Extension set forth in Section 6 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (e) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement:

     (i) If at any time a Revolving Credit Lender or a Term B Loan Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right to seek one or more Persons
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each become
a substitute Revolving Credit Lender or Term B Loan Lender, as the case may be, and
assume all or part of the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans or
Term B Loan Commitment and Term B Loans of such Defaulting Lender. In such event,
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Revolving Credit
Lender or Term B Loan Lender, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver, and
such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an
appropriately completed Assignment and Assumption to effect such substitution.

76

 

     (ii) In determining the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, Required
Term B Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Loans,
Revolving Credit Commitment, and/or Term B Loan Commitments of such Defaulting
Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded. No commitment or other fee shall accrue
for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender.

     (iii) If at any time the Borrower shall be required to make any payment under
any Loan Document to or for the account of a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower,
so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, may set
off and otherwise apply its obligation to make such payment against the obligation
of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Loan. In such event, the amount so
set off and otherwise applied shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Credit Loan
or Term B Loan by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of such set-off and
included within any borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans or Term B Loans, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine.

     (iv) If, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, which for purposes of this
subsection 4.6(e)(iv), shall include any Revolving Credit Lender or Term B Loan
Lender that has taken any action or become the subject of any action or proceeding
of a type described in subsection 9(f), the Borrower shall be required to pay any
amount under any Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then
the Borrower, so long as it is then permitted to borrow Revolving Credit Loans or
Term B Loans hereunder, may satisfy such payment obligation by paying such amount to
the Administrative Agent, to be (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to
the extent not utilized by the Administrative Agent to satisfy obligations of the
Defaulting Lender owing to it) held by the Administrative Agent in escrow pursuant
to its standard terms (including as to the earning of interest), and applied
(together with any accrued interest) by it from time to time to make any Revolving
Credit Loans, Term B Loans or other payments as and when required to be made by such
Defaulting Lender hereunder.

     4.7 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 occurring after
the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans
(whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) as contemplated by this Agreement
(“Affected Eurocurrency Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such
circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, which notice shall (i) in the case of
any such restriction or prohibition with respect to an Alternative Currency, include such Lender’s
notification that it will thenceforth be an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect
to such Alternative Currency, and (ii) be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist),
(b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Eurocurrency Loans, continue Affected
Eurocurrency Loans as such and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars, to convert a Base
Rate Loan to an Affected Eurocurrency Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it
shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or

77

 

maintain such Affected Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to
make a Base Rate Loan when an Affected Eurocurrency Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans
then outstanding as Affected Eurocurrency Loans, denominated in Dollars, 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, and (d) such Lender’s
Loans then outstanding as Affected Eurocurrency Loans, if any, denominated in a Alternative
Currency shall be immediately repaid by the Borrower on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by any such Requirement of
Law) together with accrued interest thereon. If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected
Eurocurrency 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 subsection 4.10. Any Lender that is or becomes an Alternative Currency
Participating Lender with respect to any Alternative Currency pursuant to this subsection 4.7 or
otherwise as provided in this Agreement shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower in the event that the impediment resulting in its being or becoming an Alternative
Currency Participating Lender is alleviated in a manner such that it can become an Alternative
Currency Funding Lender with respect to such Alternative Currency.

     4.8 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of
Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, 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, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later,
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

     (i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to
any Letter of Credit, Bankers’ Acceptance, any Letter of Credit Application or any
Eurocurrency Loans made by it or its obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except
for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by subsection 4.9 (including Non-Excluded Taxes
imposed solely by reason of any failure of such Lender to comply with its
obligations (if any) under subsection 4.9(b) or with respect to fees paid under this
Agreement) and changes in Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income,
or franchise Taxes, or Taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital, net
profits or net worth, or branch Taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or
branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender (or, in the
case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners) or its applicable
lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof) and any Taxes imposed by reason of
any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax and such Lender (or, in
the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners), applicable lending
office, branch or affiliate other than a connection arising solely from such Lender
having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under, or received payment
under or enforced, this Agreement or any Notes;

     (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

78

 

credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender
which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate
hereunder (except (A) any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate and
(B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or
the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost, other than as set forth
below);

     (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax of any
kind whatsoever); or

     (iv) shall result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated
hereunder, to represent the cost to any Lender of complying with the requirements of
the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central
Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans;

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
Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to
the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, 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 with respect to such
Eurocurrency Loans, Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, provided that, in any such
case, the Borrower may elect to convert Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to Base
Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election,
in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication,
amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 4.8(a) and such
amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 4.10. If any Lender becomes entitled to
claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to
the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in
this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y)
as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional
amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.
Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by
such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence
of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     (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, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if
later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender), does or shall have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as

79

 

a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any
Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation could have achieved but for such 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, within ten Business Days after
submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a
written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph
(b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the
reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the
additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably
detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such
reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall
be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

     4.9 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by
applicable law, all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender
under this Agreement and any Notes 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 (“Taxes”), excluding (i)
Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
(or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners) or its applicable lending
office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, and all franchise Taxes, branch Taxes, Taxes on doing
business or Taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall capital, net profits or net worth of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial
owners) or its applicable lending office, or any branch or affiliate thereof, in each case imposed
by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or, in the
case of a flow-through entity, any of its beneficial owners), applicable lending office, branch or
affiliate is organized or is located, or in which its principal executive office is located, or any
nation within which such jurisdiction is located or any political subdivision thereof; (ii) any
Taxes imposed by reason of any connection between the jurisdiction imposing such Tax and the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (or, in the case of a flow-through entity, any of its
beneficial owners), applicable lending office, branch or affiliate other than a connection arising
solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations under, or received
payment under or enforced, this Agreement or any Notes. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are
required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
(after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided,
however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any Non-Excluded Taxes
and shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect

80

 

thereto, (x) if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this
subsection or (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of
any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a
change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (or,
if such Lender is a foreign intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Lender became such a beneficiary or
member, if later). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, reasonably
promptly thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for
the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable. If the Borrower
fails to pay any Non-Excluded 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result
of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 4.9 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     (b) Each Lender shall:

(i)   (A) on or before the date of any payment by the
Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender, deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies
of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying that
it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the
income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form
W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be,
certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this
Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes and (B) such other forms, documentation or
certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to
an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Notes;

     (B) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further
copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate
previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

     (C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms
or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent and agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so,
upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to provide to the Borrower (for the
benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as
may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of
such Lender to an exemption from

81

 

withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any
Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request
under this clause (C) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to
the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower) which would be imposed on such
Lender of complying with such request; or

     (ii) in the case of any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,

     (A) represent to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

     (B) agree to furnish to the Borrower on or before the date of any
payment by the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (1) two
certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate a
“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) two accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor
applicable form certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of
such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the
provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to
payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes (and to deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form or
certificate on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after
the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided
form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for filing
and completing such forms or certificates); and

     (C) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable
request by the Borrower, to provide to the Borrower (for the benefit of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably
required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an
exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and
any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a
request under this clause (C) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the
cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower) which would be imposed on
such Lender of complying with such request; or

     (iii) in the case of any Lender that is a foreign intermediary or flow-through
entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

     (A) on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower under this
Agreement or any Notes to such Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two accurate and complete

82

 

original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8IMY or successor applicable form; and

     (1) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender
that is a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower under
this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender, also deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) two duly completed copies
of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying
that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable
country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the
United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or
successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case
certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to
receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes
and (ii) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the
case may be, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax
with respect to all payments under this Agreement and any Notes; and

     (2) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender
that is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (i) represent to the Borrower (for the benefit of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent) that such beneficiary or member is not
a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and
(ii) also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date of any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement
or any Notes to such Lender, (x) two accurate and complete original
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor
applicable form, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is
entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes
without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes, or (y) two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each
beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed
copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor
applicable form, certifying to such beneficiary’s or member’s legal
entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S.
withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section
881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this
Agreement and any Notes;

     (B) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further
copies of any such forms, certificates or certifications referred to above
on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification

83

 

expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and
after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently
provided form, certificate or certification and, obtain such extensions of
time reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for
filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and

     (C) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable
request by the Borrower, to provide to the Borrower (for the benefit of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably
required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender (or
beneficiary or member) to an exemption from withholding with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining
the reasonableness of a request under this clause (C) such Lender shall be
entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower)
which would be imposed on such Lender (or beneficiary or member) of
complying with such request;

unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such
Person becomes a Lender hereunder (or a beneficiary or member in the circumstances described in
subsection 4.9(b)(iii) above, if later) which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such
form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each
Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 11.6 shall, upon the
effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and
statements required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant
the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this subsection 4.9(b) shall be determined as if
such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms,
certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been
purchased.

     4.10 Indemnity. Other than with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed solely by
subsection 4.9, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from
any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a
borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency 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 or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given
a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment
or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which 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 which would have accrued on the
amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the
last day of the applicable 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 Eurocurrency Loans provided for herein (excluding,
however, the Applicable

84

 

Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by such Lender) which 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 eurocurrency market.
If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this
subsection 4.10, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative
Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and
describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained
or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender
seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof.
Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender,
through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of
demonstrable error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     4.11 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the
request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, each Lender to which the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9, and any Participant in respect of whose
participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to
contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any
Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be
required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have
confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement
and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’
fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of
such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no
Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the
Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender in good faith
determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

     (b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than pursuant to paragraph
(c) below) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause
the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 4.8 or 4.9,
the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

     (c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or
giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to subsection 4.8 or 4.9, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it
to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook
the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an
affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take
any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its
business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower
agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

85

 

     (d) If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to
subsection 4.8 or 4.9 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary
to avoid the need for payments under subsection 4.8 or 4.9, the Borrower shall have the
right, for so long as such obligation exists, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative
Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate
price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the
affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) upon at least four Business Days’
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in
part, subject to subsection 4.10, without premium or penalty. In the case of the
substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and
any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and
Assumption pursuant to subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the
assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required
to be paid by subsection 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the
Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the
amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each
of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower
shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 4.8 and
4.9 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender,
including, without limitation, any amounts under subsection 4.11) prior to such substitution
or prepayment.

     (e) For purposes of subsections 4.8 and 4.9, a change in treaty, law, rule or
regulation shall not include the ratification or entry into force of (i) the income tax
treaty between Italy and the United States, signed August 25, 1999, (ii) the protocol
amending the income tax treaty between Denmark and the United States, signed May 2, 2006,
(iii) the protocol amending the income tax treaty between Finland and the United States,
signed May 31, 2006, (iv) the protocol amending the income tax treaty between Germany and
the United States signed June 1, 2006 and (v) the income tax treaty and protocol between
Belgium and the United States, signed November 27, 2006.

     (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable
to Taxes for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 4.8(a)
or 4.9(a), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay
such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant
taxing authority) to the Borrower, provided, however, that the Borrower
agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due
to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to the Administrative
Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such
refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

     (g) The obligations of a Lender or Participant under this subsection 4.11 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable
hereunder.

86

 

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     To induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Credit Extensions requested to
be made by it on the Closing Date and to honor any Request for Credit Extension thereafter, the
Borrower hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, and on the date of each Credit
Extension thereafter, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

     5.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets of Holding and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years
ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
condition as at such date, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows
for the respective fiscal years then ended, of Holding and its consolidated Subsidiaries. The
unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Holding and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31,
2007, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
three-month period ended on such date, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial condition as at such date, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated
cash flows for the three-month period then ended, of Holding and its consolidated Subsidiaries
(subject to the omission of footnotes and normal year-end audit and other adjustments). All such
financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby (except with
respect to the schedules and notes thereto, as approved by a Responsible Officer, and disclosed in
any such schedules and notes). During the period from December 31, 2006 to and including the
Closing Date, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by Holding and its consolidated
Subsidiaries of any material part of the business or property of Holding and its consolidated
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and no purchase or other acquisition by any of them of any business
or property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person) material in relation to the
consolidated financial condition of Holding and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in
each case, which is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto and
has not otherwise been disclosed in writing to the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date.

     5.2 No Change; Solvent. Since December 31, 2006, except as and to the extent
disclosed on Schedule 5.2, (a) there has been no development or event relating to or affecting any
Loan Party which has had or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b)
except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and except for
dividends or other distributions by Holding made or declared prior to the Closing Date consistent
with past practice, no dividends or other distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the
Capital Stock of any such Person, nor has any of the Capital Stock of any such Person been
redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired for value by any such Person or any of its
Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the incurrence of the Indebtedness
pursuant hereto the Borrower is Solvent.

     5.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b)
has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to

87

 

lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently
engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign organization 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, other than in such
jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably
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 would not, in the aggregate, be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the requisite
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 obtain Credit Extensions hereunder, and each
such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate 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 Credit Extensions on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Notes and the
Letter of Credit Applications. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other
similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be
obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the
case of the Borrower, with the Credit Extensions hereunder, except for (a) consents,
authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or
made prior to the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents,
(c) filings pursuant to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et
seq.), in respect of Accounts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which
is the United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (d)
consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by the Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will
be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party
is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Loan Party, enforceable against 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).

     5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by
any of the Loan Parties, the Credit Extensions hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a)
will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect
that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens permitted by subsection 8.3)
on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation.

88

 

     5.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before
any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened by or against Holding or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective
properties or revenues, (a) except as described on Schedule 5.6, which is so pending or threatened
at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Loan Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which would be reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     5.7 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 which would be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

     5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good
record and marketable title in fee simple 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 none of such property is subject to any Lien, except for Liens permitted by
subsection 8.3. Except for the Excluded Properties, the Insured Fee Properties as listed on Part
I(a) of Schedule 5.8 and the Mortgaged Fee Properties as listed on Part I(b) of Schedule 5.8
together constitute all the material real properties owned in fee by the Loan Parties as of the
Closing Date and the Mortgaged Leased Properties listed on Part II of Schedule 5.8 constitute all
of the material real properties leased by the Loan Parties as of the Closing Date.

     5.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or has the
legal right to use, all United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for each of
them to conduct its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except
for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as provided on Schedule 5.9, no 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, nor does the Borrower know of any
such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the use of such Intellectual Property by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims
and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     5.10 No Burdensome Restrictions. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in violation of any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of or applicable to the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.11 Taxes. To the knowledge of the Borrower, each of Holding and its Subsidiaries
has filed or caused to be filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material
tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid (a) all taxes shown to be due and payable
on such returns and (b) all taxes shown to be due and payable on any assessments of which it has
received notice made against it or any of its property (including, without limitation, the
Mortgaged Properties) and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its

89

 

property by any Governmental Authority (other than any (i) taxes, fees or other charges with
respect to which the failure to pay, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in
conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holding or its Subsidiaries, as the case
may be); and no tax Lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge. The preceding sentence shall not apply to any taxes, fees or other
charges which are subject to indemnification by Manville under the Tax Matters Agreement with
respect to which the Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent the failure to file or pay,
the filing of a tax lien, or the assertion of a claim.

     5.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Credit Extensions will be
used for any purpose which violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including
without limitation, Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X 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, referred to in said Regulation U.

     5.13 ERISA. During the five year period prior to each date as of which this
representation is made, or deemed made, with respect to any Plan (or, with respect to (f) or (h)
below, as of the date such representation is made or deemed made), none of the following events or
conditions, either individually or in the aggregate, has resulted or is reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect: (a) a Reportable Event; (b) an “accumulated funding deficiency”
(within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA); (c) any noncompliance with
the applicable provisions of ERISA or the Code; (d) a termination of a Single Employer Plan (other
than a standard termination pursuant to Section 4041(b) of ERISA); (e) a Lien on the property of
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in favor of the PBGC or a Plan; (f) any Underfunding with respect
to any Single Employer Plan; (g) a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan by

withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the annual valuation date most closely
preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made; or (i) the Reorganization
or Insolvency of any Multiemployer Plan. There have been no transactions that resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in any liability to the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity
under Section 4069 of ERISA or Section 4212(c) of ERISA.

     5.14 Collateral. Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Mortgages will be effective to create (to the extent
described therein) in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a
legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein, except as may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing. When (a) the actions specified in Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement have been duly taken, (b) all applicable Instruments, Chattel Paper and
Documents a security interest in which is perfected by possession have been

90

 

delivered to, and/or are in the continued possession of, the Administrative Agent, (c) all
Deposit Accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper and Pledged Stock (each as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and to the extent required therein) a security interest in which is required
to be or is perfected by “control” (as described in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the
State of New York from time to time) are under the “control” of the Administrative Agent and (d)
the Mortgages have been duly recorded, the security interests granted pursuant thereto shall
constitute (to the extent described therein) a perfected security interest in, all right, title and
interest of each pledgor or mortgagor (as applicable) party thereto in the Collateral described
therein with respect to such pledgor or mortgagor (as applicable). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, capitalized terms which are used in this subsection 5.14 and not
defined in this Agreement are so used as defined in the applicable Security Document.

     5.15 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State
statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur
Indebtedness as contemplated hereby.

     5.16 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.16 sets forth all the Subsidiaries of Holding at the
Closing Date, the jurisdiction of their incorporation and the direct or indirect ownership interest
of Holding therein.

finance the working capital and business requirements of, and for general corporate purposes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (b) to refinance indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement
and to pay certain transaction fees and expenses with respect to this Agreement.

     5.18 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.18, and other than
exceptions to any of the following that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect:

applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect)
required for any of their current operations or for any property owned, leased, or otherwise
operated by any of them and reasonably expect to timely obtain without material expense all
such Environmental Permits required for planned operations; (iii) are, and within the period
of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their
Environmental Permits; and (iv) have no reason to believe that: any of their Environmental
Permits will not be, or will entail material expense to be, timely renewed or complied with;
any additional Environmental Permits that may be required of any of them will not be, or
will entail material expense to be, timely granted or complied with; or that compliance with
any Environmental Law that is applicable to any of them will not be, or will entail material
expense to be, timely attained and maintained.

     (b) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported, disposed of, emitted,
discharged, or otherwise released or threatened to be released, to or at any

91

 

real property presently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries or at any other location, which could reasonably be expected to (i) give
rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable
Environmental Law, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s planned or continued operations, or
(iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real property owned or leased by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries.

     (c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice
of violation or alleged violation) under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will
be, named as a party that is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, threatened.

     (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request
for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party, under the
federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or any similar
Environmental Law, or received any other written request for information with respect to any
Materials of Environmental Concern.

     (e) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any
consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, nor is subject to any judgment,
decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other
forum, relating to compliance with or liability under any Environmental Law.

     5.19 No Material Misstatements. The written information (including, without
limitation, the Confidential Information Memorandum), reports, financial statements, exhibits and
schedules furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Other
Representatives and the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included
therein or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a whole, did not contain as of the Closing Date any
material misstatement of fact and did not omit to state as of the Closing Date any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not materially misleading in their presentation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole. It is understood that (a) no representation or warranty is made concerning the forecasts,
estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements as to anticipated
future performance or conditions, and the assumptions on which they were based, contained in any
such information, reports, financial statements, exhibits or schedules, except that as of the date
such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and statements were
generated, (i) such forecasts, estimates, pro forma information, projections and
statements were based on the good faith assumptions of the management of the Borrower and (ii) such
assumptions were believed by such management to be reasonable and (b) such forecasts, estimates,
pro forma information and statements, and the assumptions on which they were based, may or may not
prove to be correct.

     5.20 Senior Indebtedness. The Loans, L/C-BA Obligations and all other obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under and
as defined in the 2003 Senior Subordinated Note Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Borrower hereby designates the Loans, L/C-BA Obligations and all other obligations

92

 

hereunder as “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the 2003 Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture. The obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement constitute “Guarantor Senior Indebtedness” of such Guarantor under and as defined in the
2003 Senior Subordinated Note Indenture.

     5.21 Labor Matters. There are no strikes pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, reasonably expected to be commenced against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The hours worked and payments made to employees of the Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries have not been in violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations, except where
such violations would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Credit Extension to be denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.

     Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of
Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans) submitted by the Borrower shall
constitute a representation and warranty that the conditions contained in this subsection 6.2 have

personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower
or its securities. The Borrower hereby agrees that if, and for long as the Borrower is the issuer
of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered (w) all Borrower Materials that
are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC”
which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page

100

 

thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have
authorized the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders to
treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it
may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that any such
Borrower Materials shall be treated as set forth in subsection 11.18); (y) all Borrower Materials
marked “PUBLIC” by the Borrower are permitted to be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Other
Representatives shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” by the Borrower as
being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to make any Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC”.

     7.3 Payment of Obligations. Pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity
or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all its material obligations of whatever
nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect
thereto have been provided on the books of Holding or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

     7.4 Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. Continue to engage in business
of the same general type as conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date,
taken as a whole, and preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and
take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable
in the normal conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to subsection 8.5, provided that the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to maintain any such rights, privileges or
franchises, if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; and comply with all Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law except to the extent
that failure to comply therewith, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     7.5 Maintenance of Property; Insurance. Keep all property useful and necessary in the
business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in good working order and
condition; maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all
property material to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, 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; and furnish to the Administrative
Agent, upon written request, information in reasonable detail as to the insurance carried.

     7.6 Inspection of Property; Books and Records; Discussions. Keep proper books of
records and account in which full, complete and correct entries in conformity with GAAP and all
material Requirements of Law shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its
business and activities; and permit representatives of any Lender to visit and inspect any of its
properties and examine and, to the extent reasonable, make abstracts from any of its books and
records and to discuss the business, operations, properties and financial and other condition of

101

 

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with officers and employees of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and with its independent certified public accountants, in each case at any reasonable
time, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may reasonably be desired.

     7.7 Notices. Promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender of:

     (a) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows or reasonably
should know thereof, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

     (b) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows or reasonably
should know thereof, any (i) default or event of default under any Contractual Obligation of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than as previously disclosed in writing to
the Lenders, or (ii) litigation, investigation or proceeding which may exist at any time
between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and any Governmental Authority, which in
either case, if not cured or if adversely determined, as the case may be, would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (c) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows or reasonably
should know thereof, the occurrence of any default or event of default under any of the
Existing Notes;

     (d) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows or reasonably
should know thereof, any litigation or proceeding affecting Holding or any of its
Subsidiaries in which the amount involved (not covered by insurance) is $10,000,000 or more
or in which injunctive or similar relief is sought that would reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect;

     (e) the following events, as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries knows or reasonably should
know thereof: (i) the occurrence or expected occurrence of any Reportable Event with
respect to any Single Employer Plan, a failure to make any required contribution to a Single
Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the creation of any Lien on the property of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries in favor of the PBGC or a Plan or any withdrawal from, or the
termination, Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Multiemployer Plan; (ii) the institution
of proceedings or the taking of any other formal action by the PBGC or the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries or any Commonly Controlled Entity or any Multiemployer Plan which could
reasonably be expected to result in the withdrawal from, or the termination, Reorganization
or Insolvency of, any Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan; provided,
however, that no such notice will be required under clause (i) or (ii) above unless
the event giving rise to such notice, when aggregated with all other such events under
clause (i) or (ii) above, could be reasonably expected to result in liability to the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries in an amount that would exceed $10,000,000; or (iii) each
occurrence of an Underfunding under a Single Employer Plan following the Closing Date that
exceeds 10% of the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan, in each case,
determined as of the most recent annual valuation date of such Single Employer Plan on the
basis of the actuarial assumptions

102

 

used to determine the funding requirements of such Single Employer Plan as of such
date;

     (f) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows or reasonably
should know thereof, any material adverse change in the business, operations, property,
condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole; and

     (g) as soon as possible after a Responsible Officer of the Borrower knows or reasonably
should know thereof, (i) any release or discharge by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
of any Materials of Environmental Concern required to be reported under applicable
Environmental Laws to any Governmental Authority, unless the Borrower reasonably determines
that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such release or discharge are unlikely to
exceed $10,000,000 or to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any condition, circumstance,
occurrence or event not previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent that
could result in liability under applicable Environmental Laws, unless the Borrower
reasonably determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such condition,
circumstance, occurrence or event are unlikely to exceed $10,000,000 or to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of any lien or
other material restriction on the title, ownership or transferability of any facilities and
properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii)
any proposed action to be taken by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would
reasonably be expected to subject Holding or any of its Subsidiaries to any material
additional or different requirements or liabilities under Environmental Laws, unless the
Borrower reasonably determines that the total Environmental Costs arising out of such
proposed action are unlikely to exceed $10,000,000 or to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Each notice pursuant to this subsection shall be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower (and, if applicable, the relevant Commonly Controlled Entity or Subsidiary)
setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower
(or, if applicable, the relevant Commonly Controlled Entity or Subsidiary) proposes to take with
respect thereto.

     7.8 Environmental Laws. (a) (i) Comply substantially with, and require substantial
compliance by all tenants, subtenants, contractors, and invitees with, all applicable Environmental
Laws; (ii) obtain, comply substantially with and maintain any and all Environmental Permits
necessary for its operations as conducted and as planned; and (iii) require that all tenants,
subtenants, contractors, and invitees obtain, comply substantially with and maintain any and all
Environmental Permits necessary for their operations as conducted and as planned, with respect to
any property leased or subleased from, or operated by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. For
purposes of this subsection 7.8(a), noncompliance shall be deemed not to constitute a breach of
this covenant, provided that, upon learning of any actual or suspected noncompliance, the
Borrower and any such affected Subsidiary shall promptly undertake reasonable efforts, if any, to
achieve compliance, and provided, further, that in any case such noncompliance
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

103

 

     (b) Promptly comply, in all material respects, with all orders and directives of all
Governmental Authorities regarding Environmental Laws, other than such orders or directives
as to which an appeal or other appropriate contest is or has been timely and properly taken,
is being diligently pursued in good faith, and as to which appropriate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP, and, if the effectiveness of such order or directive
has not been stayed, the pendency of such appeal or other appropriate contest does not give
rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) Maintain, update as appropriate, and implement in all material respects an ongoing
program reasonably designed to ensure that all the properties and operations of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries are regularly and reasonably reviewed by competent professionals to
identify and promote compliance with and to reasonably and prudently manage any liabilities
or potential liabilities under any Environmental Law that may affect the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, compliance and liabilities relating to:
discharges to air and water; acquisition, transportation, storage and use of hazardous
materials; waste disposal; repair, maintenance and improvement of properties; employee
health and safety; species protection; and recordkeeping.

     7.9 After-Acquired Real Property and Fixtures. (a) With respect to any owned real
property or fixtures, in each case with a purchase price or a fair market value of at least
$5,000,000, in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Philanthropic Fund, a
Foreign Subsidiary, a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary, or a Receivables Subsidiary) acquires
ownership rights at any time after the Closing Date, promptly grant to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, a Lien of record on all such owned real property and fixtures, upon
terms reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent and in accordance
with any applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any
required appraisals of such property under FIRREA); provided that (i) nothing in this
subsection 7.9 shall defer or impair the attachment or perfection of any security interest in any
Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents which would attach or be perfected pursuant to
the terms thereof without action by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person and
(ii) no such Lien shall be required to be granted as contemplated by this subsection 7.9 on any
owned real property or fixtures the acquisition of which is financed, or is to be financed within
any time period permitted by subsection 8.2(f) or (g), in whole or in part through the incurrence
of Indebtedness permitted by subsection 8.2(f) or (g), until such Indebtedness is repaid in full
(and not refinanced as permitted by subsection 8.2(f) or (g)) or, as the case may be, the Borrower
determines not to proceed with such financing or refinancing. In connection with any such grant to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, of a Lien of record on any such real
property in accordance with this subsection, the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Administrative Agent any surveys, title insurance policies, environmental
reports and other documents in connection with such grant of such Lien obtained by it in connection
with the acquisition of such ownership rights in such real property or as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request (in light of the value of such real property and the cost and availability
of such surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents and whether
the delivery of such surveys, title insurance policies, environmental reports and other documents
would be customary in connection with such grant of such Lien in similar circumstances).

104

 

     (b) With respect to any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary,
provided that at any time any such Subsidiary no longer qualifies as an “Excluded
Subsidiary”, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent all documents

the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than a
Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such
occurrence, promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Administrative

Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest (as and
to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of
such new Domestic Subsidiary, (ii) deliver (or, in the case of a Receivables Subsidiary,
cause to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the certificates (if any) representing
such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a
duly authorized officer of the parent corporation of such new Domestic Subsidiary and (iii)
unless such Subsidiary is a Receivables Subsidiary, cause such new Domestic Subsidiary (A)
to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (B) to take all actions
reasonably deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable to cause the Lien
created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in such new Domestic Subsidiary’s
Collateral to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law,
including, without limitation, the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as
may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

     (c) With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary, provided
that at any time any such Subsidiary no longer qualifies as an “Excluded Subsidiary”, the
Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent all documents specified in this
subsection 7.9(c) for such Subsidiary) created or acquired subsequent to the Closing Date by
the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, the Capital Stock of which is owned
directly by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Subsidiary or a
Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such
occurrence, promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new pledge
agreement or such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest (as and
to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of
such new Foreign Subsidiary that is owned by the Borrower or any of its Domestic
Subsidiaries (other than a Receivables Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary)
(provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the Capital Stock of any such new
Foreign Subsidiary be required to be so pledged and, provided, further, that
no such pledge or security shall be required with respect to any non-Wholly Owned Foreign
Subsidiary to the extent that the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate
the terms of any agreements under which the Investment by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries was made therein) and (ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent the certificates, if any,
representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered
in blank by a duly authorized officer

105

 

of the relevant parent corporation of such new Foreign Subsidiary and take such other
action as may be reasonably deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or desirable
to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein.

     (d) At its own expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution,
acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in an appropriate
governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by the Administrative
Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection and priority and the
continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the foregoing Liens or any other
Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents.

     (e) At its own expense, request, and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
prior to entering into a lease of a facility located in the United States in which Inventory
will be located after the Closing Date (other than any such facility for which there is not
a lease of more than one year and which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries intend to use as a
seasonal storage facility), a consent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G or such other
form as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from each landlord of
any such facility, in which such landlord acknowledges the Administrative Agent’s first
priority security interest in the Inventory pledged by each Loan Party to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

     7.10 Interest Rate Protection. No later than 90 days following the Closing Date,
enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements, which, together with the fixed interest rates then
applicable to the Consolidated Funded Indebtedness of Holding and its Subsidiaries, shall provide
interest rate protection in respect of at least 50% of the Consolidated Funded Indebtedness of
Holding and its Subsidiaries. Such Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be in form and
substance, and for a term (not less than two years), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.

     7.11 Conditions Subsequent. Shall diligently pursue and cause to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent those items listed on Schedule 7.11 within the respective time periods set

provided that any notices or cure periods that are conditions to the rights of such
Persons to stop purchasing, or financing the purchase of, such Receivables have been given

immediately become due and payable, (B) if such event is any other Event of Default (except for an
Event of Default resulting from non-compliance with the financial covenants set forth in subsection

127

 

Commitments, Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans, Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances),
either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) 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 Revolving Credit Commitments and
the Term Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments and the
Term Commitments, if any, 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

all amounts of L/C-BA Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters
of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due
and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable and (C) if such
event is an Event of Default resulting from the failure to comply with the financial covenants set
forth in subsection 8.1 occurring prior to the first date described in clause (ii) of the proviso
set forth in subsection 9(c) above , either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i)
with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Revolving Lenders the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the
Borrower, declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required
Revolving Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Revolving
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Revolving Credit

outstanding Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances shall have presented the documents required
thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and
payable.

     With respect to any Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance with respect to which presentment
for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to the preceding
paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time Cash Collateralize an amount equal to the aggregate then
undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance. The Borrower hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit
Lenders, a security interest in such Cash Collateral to secure all obligations of the Borrower in
respect of such Letter of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptance under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Credit Lenders, such further documents and instruments as the
Administrative Agent may request to evidence the creation and perfection of such security interest
in such cash collateral account. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by
the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letter of Credit or Bankers’
Acceptance, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances
shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of
the Borrower hereunder. After all Letters of Credit or Bankers’ Acceptances, as applicable, shall
have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Unreimbursed Amounts shall have been satisfied and all
other obligations of the Borrower

128

 

hereunder shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account
shall be returned to the Borrower.

     Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9, presentment, demand, protest and all
other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

     After the exercise of remedies provided for in this Section 9 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C-BA Obligations have automatically been
required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in this Section 9), any amounts received on account
of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.5 of
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured
Cash Management Agreements may, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, be excluded from the
application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof,
together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the
applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank, as the case may be. Each Hedge Bank and each Cash
Management Bank not a party to this Agreement who obtains the benefit of the foregoing provision or
any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or
any Security Document shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if
a “Lender” party to this Agreement.

SECTION 10. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     10.1 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a
Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank)
and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the
Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender and Swing Line Lender
(if applicable)), potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management Bank, and the L/C
Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the
agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any
and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the
obligations hereunder, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection 10.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any
portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and
remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the
benefits of all provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11,

129

 

as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent”
under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

     10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder
and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The foregoing provisions of this
subsection 10.2 shall likewise apply to the Person serving as the Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender.

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

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

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

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

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in subsection 11.1 and Section 9) or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

130

 

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

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

     10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent with reasonable care; provided
that no such delegation shall serve as a release of the Administrative Agent from any of its
responsibilities hereunder or as a waiver by the Borrower of any of its rights hereunder. The
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of
this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent.

     10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the
Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a
bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and

131

 

shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders and the L/C Issuer with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment or been consented to by the Borrower, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and subsection 11.5 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Alternative Currency
Funding Fronting Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Alternative Currency
Funding Fronting Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to
effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of
Credit and (iv) the successor Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender shall make arrangements
with the resigning Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender for the funding of all outstanding
Alternative Currency Risk Participations.

     10.7 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of
the Other Representatives listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

132

 

     10.8 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party,
each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agree that the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether
the principal of any Loan or L/C-BA Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or
by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made
any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C-BA Obligations and all other obligations hereunder
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
under subsections 3.1(i) and (j), 4.3 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any
amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel as provided herein, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under subsections 4.3 and 11.5. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or in any such
proceeding.

     10.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a
Lender and Swing Line Lender (if applicable), potential Hedge Bank and potential Cash Management
Bank) and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion:

     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in
full of all Obligations (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations, (y)
obligations and liabilities under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management
Agreements and (z) the PBGC Amount (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement)
and the expiration, cash collateralization or termination of all Letters of Credit and
Bankers’ Acceptances (other than Letters of Credit as to which arrangements with respect
thereto satisfactory to the

133

 

Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to
be sold as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with
subsection 11.1 or (iv) owned by a Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (b) below;

     (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to which it
is a party if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted
hereunder;

     (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted
hereunder; and

     (d) to take any other action required to be taken by it under the terms of any Security
Document.

     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party pursuant to this subsection 10.9. In each case as specified in
this subsection 10.9, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver
to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence
the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the
Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from
its obligations under the subsection 10.9, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this subsection 10.9.

     10.10 Other Secured Parties. Without limitation of any of the terms set forth in
Section 8 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, no Secured Party (other than the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) who obtains the benefit of the provisions
of subsection 6.5 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the
provisions hereof or of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any Security Document shall have
any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or
impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the
extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment
of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, Obligations arising
under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements to the extent the
Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting
documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash
Management Bank, as the case may be.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended
(or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to
this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding

required and the consent of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as
applicable, at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders

and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and
participations held by such Lender as of such termination date or (y) replace such

Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided,
further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver,
discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided,
further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to
the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to
such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Assumption. In connection

on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption and/or
such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing
to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be
paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting
Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption and/or
such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption and/or such other
documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender.

remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver

hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives from and
against, 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 similar taxes, if any, which
may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery,
administration and enforcement of, 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 (iv) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives (and their respective directors,
trustees, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons, agents, successors and
assigns) (each an “indemnified party”) 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 (whether or not caused by any such Person’s
own negligence (other than gross negligence) and including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any such other documents (regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any such Other
Representative or any Lender is a party to the litigation or other proceeding giving rise
thereto and regardless of whether any such litigation or other proceeding is brought by the
Borrower or any other Person), including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating
to the violation of, noncompliance with, or liability under, any Environmental Laws or any
orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto applicable to
the operations of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the facilities and
properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (all the
foregoing in this clause (iv), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”),
provided that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the
Administrative Agent, any such Other Representative or any Lender with respect to
Environmental Costs or indemnified liabilities arising from (x) the bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party (or any of its respective
directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns) or (y) claims made
or legal proceedings commenced against any indemnified party by any securityholder or
creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such securityholder or
creditor solely in its capacity as such. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided
in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Borrower shall have no obligation under this subsection
11.5 to the Administrative Agent, any Other Representative or any Lender with respect to any
tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. The agreements in this subsection shall
survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     (b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to pay any amount required under subsection 11.5(a) to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or

142

 

any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as
the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of
the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection 11.5(b)
are subject to the provisions of subsection 4.6(e).

     11.6 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection 11.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 11.6(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of subsection 11.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 11.6(d) and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

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

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

     (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment under any Facility and the Loans at the time
owing to it under such Facility or in the case of an assignment to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be
assigned; and

     (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section,
the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the

143

 

Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than
$5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit
Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any
Term Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Event of Default described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f) has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee
(or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such
minimum amount has been met;

     (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) prohibit any
Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate
Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

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

     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default
described in subsection 9(a) or 9(f) has occurred and is continuing at the
time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

     (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in
respect of (i) any Term Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect
of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

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

     (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in
respect of the Revolving Credit Facility; and

144

 

     (E) the consent of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
if upon effectiveness of the applicable assignment the proposed assignee
would be an Alternative Currency Participating Lender with respect to any
Alternative Currency.

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

     (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

     (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be
made to a natural person.

     (vii) No Assignment Resulting in Additional Non-Excluded Taxes. No
such assignment shall be made to any Person that, through its Lending Offices, is
not capable of lending the applicable Alternative Currencies to the Borrower without
the imposition of any additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

     (viii) Notes. The assigning Lender shall deliver all Notes evidencing
the assigned interests to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent shall deliver such Notes to the Borrower).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
11.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement
and shall make all acknowledgments, representations and warranties required of a Lender hereunder,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be subject to
the obligations under and entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 11.5 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon
request and upon surrender by the assigning Lender of all Notes evidencing the assigned interests,
the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection 11.6(d).

145

 

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and
L/C-BA Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred
to in subsection (b)(iv) of this subsection 11.6 and any written consent to such assignment
required by subsection (b)(iii) of this subsection 11.6, the Administrative Agent shall
accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights
and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or
the Loans (including such Lender’s Alternative Currency Risk Participations and its
participations in L/C-BA Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv)
the granting of such participation shall not require that any cost or expense of any kind at
any time be borne by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and shall not result in any
increase in any payment of any kind to be made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any
Loan Document unless the Borrower expressly agrees in writing to bear such cost, expense or
increase in payment in connection with the relevant participation. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such
Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in clause (ii) of the first proviso to subsection 11.1(a) that
directly affects such Participant (it being understood that (i) any vote to rescind any
acceleration made pursuant to Section 9 of amounts owing with respect to the Loans and other
Obligations and (ii) any modifications of the provisions relating to amounts, timing or
application of prepayments of Loans and other Obligations shall not require the approval of
such Participant). Subject to subsection 11.6(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant

146

 

shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 (subject to the
requirements of those sections, including timely delivery of forms pursuant to subsection
4.9) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection 11.6(b).

     (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. No Loan Party shall be obligated to
make any greater payment under subsection 4.8 or 4.9 than it would have been obligated to
make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made upon
the request or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly
waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant
that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof
shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 4.9 unless such Participant complies
with subsection 4.9(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the
Lender that granted such participation.

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

     (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which
shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the
extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.

     (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America
assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
subsection 11.6(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as
Swing Line Lender and/or (iii) upon 30 days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign
as Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender. In the event of any such resignation as
L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, the Borrower
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line
Lender or Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender hereunder which consents to such
appointment; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint
any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer, Swing Line
Lender or Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of
America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the L/C Issuer hereunder with

147

 

respect to all Letters of Credit and Bankers’ Acceptances outstanding and all Banker’s
Acceptances issuable under any Acceptance Credits outstanding as of the effective date of
its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C-BA Obligations with respect thereto (including the
right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations pursuant to
subsection 3.1(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all
the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans
made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right
to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding
Swing Line Loans pursuant to subsection 2.4(c). If the Alternative Currency Funding
Fronting Lender resigns as Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender, it shall retain all
the rights and obligations of the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender hereunder
with respect to all Alternative Currency Risk Participations outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as the Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender and all
obligations of any Loan Party or any other Lender with respect thereto (including the right
to require Alternative Currency Participating Lenders to fund any Alternative Currency Risk
Participations therein in the manner provided in subsection 2.2(g)). Upon the appointment
of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall
issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at
the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to
effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of
Credit.

     11.7 Sharing of Payments by Lender. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on
any of the Loans made by it, the Alternative Currency Risk Participations or the participations in
L/C-BA Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it (but not including any amounts applied by the
Alternative Currency Funding Fronting Lender to Loans prior to the funding of risk participations
therein) resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof
as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Loans, subparticipations in L/C-BA Obligations and Swing Line Loans or subparticipations in
Alternative Currency Risk Participations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as
shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

     (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x)
any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as

148

 

consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or subparticipations in L/C-BA Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which
the provisions of this subsection shall apply).

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

     11.8 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C
Issuer represents and warrants to each other party hereto that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges and agrees that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to
make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender represents to each other party
hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution,
insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or
acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its activities, that it is participating
hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to
be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder.

     11.9 Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall
be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could
purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which
final judgment is given.

     (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of this Agreement and any Note due to
any party hereto or any holder of any bond shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency
(the “judgment currency”) other than the currency in which the sum originally due to
such party or such holder is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged
only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party or such holder
(as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such party or
such holder (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase
the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the original currency so
purchased is less than the sum originally due to such

149

 

party or such holder (as the case may be) in the original currency, the Borrower agrees
as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party or
such holder (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the original
currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this Agreement or any
holder of Notes (as the case may be), such party or such holder (as the case may be), agrees
to remit to the Borrower, such excess. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     11.10 Right of Set Off. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrower or any other
Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
subsection 9(a) so long as any amount remains unpaid after it becomes due and payable by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to set-off and
appropriate and apply against any 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 the Administrative Agent or such other Lender to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Administrative
Agent or such Lender may elect. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Borrower
promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of
the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this
subsection 11.10 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

     11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of
the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

     11.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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.

     11.13 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative
to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan
Documents.

150

 

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

     11.15 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto 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 non-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 may 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 forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

     (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, the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, at the address specified in subsection 11.2 or at such other address of
which the Administrative Agent, any such Lender and the Borrower 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 subsection any
consequential or punitive damages.

     11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of the
Loan Documents and the Credit Extensions hereunder occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, the
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this
Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent
and the Arranger, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is
capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b)(i) the Administrative Agent
and each Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed
in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,
agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any other Person and (ii) neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the

151

 

Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except
those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the
Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a board
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its
Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose
any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative
Agent and any Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in
connection with the Loan Documents or the Credit Extensions hereunder occurring on or prior to the

other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind,
such party’s U.S. federal income tax treatment and the U.S. federal income tax structure of the

RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT AGREEMENT

PURSUANT TO THE KING PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

INCENTIVE PLAN

     This Restricted Stock Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth on
the Restricted Stock Certificate attached hereto (the “Grant Date”) by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(the “Company”) and the individual identified on the Restricted Stock Certificate (the
“Participant”) to effect an award of restricted stock by the Company to the Participant on the
terms and conditions set forth below:

     1. AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK. 

     As of the Grant Date, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein, the
Company grants and issues to the Participant the number of shares of the Company’s common stock
indicated on the Restricted Stock Certificate (the “Restricted Stock”).

     2. GOVERNING PLAN.

     The Restricted Stock shall be granted pursuant to and (except as specifically set forth
herein) subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which are incorporated herein by reference. Terms not otherwise defined in
this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

     3. RESTRICTIONS ON THE RESTRICTED STOCK.

     (a) No Transfer. The shares of Restricted Stock (including any shares received
by the Participant with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of stock
dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a similar transaction
affecting the Company’s securities without receipt of consideration) may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, alienated or
encumbered during the Restricted Period.

     (b) Vesting. The restrictions imposed under Section 3(a) will be removed from
the Restricted Stock at the end of the applicable Restricted Period. Removal of the
restrictions imposed under Section 3(a) from particular shares of Restricted Stock is
referred to as “vesting” of those shares and shares from which the restrictions have been
removed are referred to as “vested.”

     4. VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS. 

     During the period prior to vesting, except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant will
have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to all of the Restricted Stock, including
without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive all dividends
or other distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock. In connection with the payment of
such

2

 

dividends or other distributions, the Company will be entitled to deduct from any amounts
otherwise payable by the Company to Participant (including without limitation salary or other
compensation) any taxes or other amounts required by any governmental authority to be withheld and
paid over to such authority for Participant’s account.

     5. CERTIFICATION, ESCROW AND DELIVERY OF SHARES.

     (a) Certificates. Each certificate representing the Restricted Stock will be
endorsed with a legend substantially as set forth below, as well as such other legends as
the Company may deem appropriate to comply with applicable laws and regulations:

The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to certain limitations on
transfer and other restrictions as set forth in that certain Restricted Stock Grant
Agreement, dated as of ___, 200___, between the Company and the
holder of such securities, pursuant to the King Pharmaceutical, Inc. Incentive Plan
(copies of which are available for inspection at the offices of the Company).

     (b) Escrow. With respect to the Restricted Stock (including any shares
received by Participant with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that have not yet vested
as a result of stock dividends, stock splits or any other form of recapitalization or a
similar transaction affecting the Company’s securities without receipt of consideration),
the Secretary of the Company, or such other escrow holder as the Secretary may appoint, will
retain physical custody of the certificate representing such share until such share vests.

     (c) Delivery of Certificates. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
vesting of any Restricted Stock, the Company will release the certificate(s) representing
such vested Restricted Stock to Participant. If other still unvested shares of Restricted
Stock are also represented by the same stock certificate as vested shares, then such
certificate will be retired and new certificates representing the vested and unvested
portions of the Restricted Stock will be issued in place of the existing certificate. The
certificate representing the vested Restricted Stock will be delivered to Participant and
the certificate representing the still unvested shares of Restricted Stock will be retained
by the escrow holder.

     6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

     (a) Tax Matters. The Restricted Stock is subject to appropriate income tax
withholding and other deductions required by applicable laws or regulations, and Participant
and his successors will be responsible for all income and other taxes payable as a result of
grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock or otherwise in connection with this Agreement.
The Company is not required to provide any gross-up or other tax assistance. Participant
understands that Participant may make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”) within thirty (30) days after the date Participant acquired the
Restricted Stock hereunder, or comparable provisions of any state tax law, to include in
Participant’s gross income the fair market value (as of the date

3

 

of acquisition) of the Restricted Stock. Participant may make such an election only
if, prior to making any such election, Participant (a) notifies the Company of Participant’s
intention to make such election, by delivering to the Company a copy of a fully-executed
Section 83(b) Election Form such as the Company may from time to time prescribe, and (b)
pays to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any taxes or other amounts required by
any governmental authority to be withheld or paid over to such authority for Participant’s
account, or otherwise makes arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of such
amounts through withholding or otherwise. Participant understands that if Participant does
not make a proper and timely Section 83(b) election, generally under Section 83 of the Code,
at the time the Restricted Period lapses with respect to any portion of the Restricted
Stock, Participant will recognize ordinary income and be taxed in an amount equal to the
fair market value (as of the date the forfeiture restrictions lapse) of the Restricted Stock
less the purchase price paid for the Restricted Stock. Participant acknowledges that it is
Participant’s sole responsibility, and not the Company’s, to file a timely election under
Section 83(b). Participant is relying solely on Participant’s advisors with respect to the
decision as to whether or not to file a Section 83(b) election.

     (b) Independent Advice; No Representations. Participant acknowledges that (i)
(s)he was free to use professional advisors of his choice in connection with this Agreement,
has received advice from her/his professional advisors in connection with this Agreement,
understands its meaning and import, and is entering into this Agreement freely and without
coercion or duress; and (ii) (s)he has not received and is not relying upon any advice,
representations or assurances made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company affiliate
or any employee of or counsel to the Company regarding any tax or other effects or
implications of the Restricted Stock or other matters contemplated by this Agreement.

     (c) Value of Restricted Stock. No representations or promises are made to
Participant regarding the value of the Restricted Stock or Company’s business prospects.
Participant acknowledges that information about investment in Company stock, including
financial information and related risks, is contained in Company’s SEC reports which have
been made available for Participant’s review at any time before Participant’s acceptance of
this Agreement. Further, Participant understands that the Company does not provide tax or
investment advice and acknowledges Company’s recommendation that Participant consult with
independent specialists regarding such matters. Sale or other transfer of the Company stock
may be limited by and subject to Company policies as well as applicable securities laws and
regulations.

     (d) Adjustment in Capitalization. In the event of an Adjustment Event that is
a merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar
transaction, then the Award pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement shall be deemed to
pertain to the securities and other property, including cash, to which a holder of the
number of shares equal to the Restricted Stock would have been entitled to receive in
connection with such Adjustment Event; provided, that any securities issued to Participant
in respect of unvested Granted Shares will be subject to the same restrictions

4

 

and vesting provisions that were applicable to the Restricted Stock in exchange for
which the securities were issued.

     (e) Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, vesting shall occur with
respect to the Restricted Stock in accordance with Article 11 of the Plan.

     (f) Termination of Employment. Upon a Termination of Employment, vesting or
forfeiture of the Restricted Stock shall be determined according to Section 8.7 of the Plan;
provided, however, that in the event of a Participant’s Separation from Service for Good
Reason then the Restricted Period will lapse as to a pro-rata portion of the Restricted
Stock as provided in Section 8.7(f) of the Plan. “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of
any one or more of the following circumstances, unless such circumstances are corrected by
the Company within ten (10) days following written notice thereof given by the Participant:
(i) Implementation of a material demotion or diminution in the nature or status of the
Participant’s authorities, duties, responsibilities, reporting relationships, title and/or
position from those in effect as of the Grant Date, determined in the context of the
individual’s relative position in the overall controlled group of corporations which
includes the Company as of the Grant Date as compared to the individual’s position in the
overall controlled group of corporations which includes the Company immediately before the
Separation from Service; (ii) Failure to pay promptly any material compensation when due;
(iii) Reduction in the rate of annual base salary without the Participant’s consent; (iv)
Material breach of any employment contract or other agreement as to the terms and conditions
of employment; (v) Requiring the Participant to be based at a work location in excess of
fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s principal job location or office as of the Grant
Date. The Participant’s right to effect a Separation from Service for Good Reason must be
exercised by the Participant within six (6) months after the date on which the Participant
knows or reasonably should have known of the occurrence that constitutes Good Reason,
otherwise the right to a Separation from Service on the basis of that occurrence shall be
deemed to have been waived. The Participant’s right to a Separation from Service for Good
Reason shall not be affected by the Participant’s temporary incapacity due to a physical or
mental/psychological condition. However, a Disability will not qualify as a Good Reason
unless accompanied by one or more “good reasons” hereinabove listed.

     (g) No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement does not confer upon
Participant any right to continue as an employee of the Company or its subsidiary or to any
particular employment tenure, nor does it limit in any way the right of Company or its
subsidiary to terminate Participant’s services to the Company or its subsidiary at any time,
with or without cause.

     7. GENERAL.

     (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is personal in its nature and
Participant may not assign or transfer his/her rights under this Agreement.

     (b) Notices. Any notices, demands or other communications required or desired
to be given by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given to another

5

 

party if served either personally or if deposited in the United States mail, certified
or registered, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. If such notice, demand or other
communication shall be served personally, service shall be conclusively deemed made at the
time of such personal service. If such notice, demand or other communication is given by
mail, such notice shall be conclusively deemed given forty-eight (48) hours after the
deposit thereof in the United States mail addressed to the party to whom such notice, demand
or other communication is to be given as hereinafter set forth:

	 	 	 
	To the Company:

	 	King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
	 

	 	501 Fifth Street
	 

	 	Bristol, TN 37620
	 

	 	Attention: ___

     To Participant: At his/her address of record as maintained in the Company’s files.

Any party may change its address for the purpose of receiving notices, demands and other
communications by providing written notice to the other party in the manner described in this
paragraph.

     (c) Entire Agreement. Except as this Agreement may expressly provide
otherwise, this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Certificate and the Plan constitute the
entire agreement and understanding of the Company and Participant with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior written or verbal agreements and
understandings between Participant and the Company relating to such subject matter. This
Agreement may only be amended by written instrument signed by Participant and an authorized
officer of the Company.

     (d) Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement will be construed and
interpreted under the laws of the State of Tennessee applicable to agreements executed and
to be wholly performed within the State of Tennessee. If any provision of this Agreement as
applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity of that provision shall in no way
