                             THE TIMBERLAND COMPANY
                   2007 EXECUTIVE LONG TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM

     This instrument sets forth the terms of The Timberland Company 2007
Executive Long Term Incentive Program. The Program is established under The
Timberland Company 2007 Incentive Plan, and amounts paid under the Program are
generally intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

     1. Purpose. The purpose of the Program is (a) to attract, retain and
motivate key employees of outstanding ability; (b) to provide competitive
incentive pay and capital accumulation opportunities to certain key employees in
exchange for their attainment of specified Performance Goals; and (c) to provide
a Minimum Payment if the threshold Performance Goal is not attained. The
incentive pay portion of the Program and the Minimum Payment portion constitute
separate grants under Code Section 162(m).

     2. Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings
unless the context indicates otherwise.

          (a) "Affiliate" shall mean any corporation or other entity owning,

     (determined by aggregate voting rights) or other voting interests.

          (b) "Award" shall mean an opportunity to earn incentive pay, in the

<PAGE>

     of changes in federal tax rates, extraordinary items of loss or expense,
     and any other unusual or nonrecurring items of loss or expense including
     restructuring charges. Any such adjustment shall be made only to the extent
     the item is separately identified on the Consolidated Statement of Income
     in the Company's Annual Report; the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements; or in the Management Discussion & Analysis section of the
     Company's Annual Report and is objectively quantifiable in the Company's
     accounting records as reviewed by the Company's independent auditors. The
     Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board may exercise
     discretion to include all or part of an item of loss or expense.

          (j) "Participant" shall mean an employee of the Company or an

accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Committee shall have sole and
complete discretion with respect to the exercise of all permissive powers and
authority granted to the administrator under the Plan; provided, however, the
Committee may not exercise its discretion to increase the amount of incentive
pay that would be otherwise due a Section 162(m) Participant upon attainment of
a Performance Goal. All actions, determinations, and decisions of the Committee
shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.

     4. Participation. The Committee shall designate in writing the employees
who shall participate during the Award Period as soon as practicable and not
later than 90 days after the start of the

<PAGE>

Award Period. The Participants (Schedule A attached) were designated by the
Committee at its meeting on February 27, 2007.

     5. Awards. An Award shall be established in writing by the Committee for
each Participant as soon as practicable and not later than 90 days after the
beginning of the Award Period. Each Award will be expressed in dollars as a
target value at the time of grant, and then converted to a number of Stock
Options and shares of Restricted Stock as described in Section 8 having an
equivalent value; may vary according to a Participant's salary grade or
position; and will be based on the attainment of specific Performance Goals
described in Section 6. Each Award shall have three levels: threshold, target,
and maximum, corresponding to the three different levels of Goal attainment.
Plan Awards for a Section 162(m) Participant shall not be changed or modified
during an Award Period to increase the amount of incentive pay that would
otherwise become payable. The Award levels for each Participant were established
by the Committee at its meeting on February 27, 2007. (Schedule B attached shows
the target Award level for the Award Period.)

     6. Performance Measure and Goals. The Committee shall establish in writing
Performance Measures and Goals as soon as practicable and not later than 90 days
after the beginning of each Award Period. Performance Goals shall be established
at three levels (threshold, target, and maximum). Performance Goals for a
Section 162(m) Participant shall not be changed or modified during an Award
Period to increase the amount of incentive pay that would otherwise become
payable. The Performance Measures and Goals (Schedule C) were established by the
Committee at its meeting on February 27, 2007.

     7. Award Payout Calculation.

          (a) Award payouts shall be based on the degree to which Performance
     Goals are attained, with fifty percent (50%) of the target Award payable
     upon attainment of the threshold Goal, one hundred percent (100%) upon
     attainment of the target Goal, and one-hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
     upon attainment of the maximum Goal. No Award payouts shall be made unless
     the threshold Goal is attained, and payouts shall be increased
     proportionately on a straight-line basis to the extent the threshold or
     target Goals are surpassed. In no event, however, shall an Award payout
     exceed one-hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the target Award.

          (b) The Company's independent public accountants shall audit the
     Company's Award calculations following the close of the Award Period.

     8. Award Payment.

          Sixty percent (60%) of each Award payout shall be made in the form of
     Stock Options, and forty percent (40%) shall be made in the form of
     Restricted Stock. Each Award payout shall be made as soon as practicable
     and not later than March 31, 2008, following the close of the Award Period,
     subject to the independent audit. Restricted Stock equal in value to the
     Restricted Stock portion of the Minimum Payment described in Section 9
     shall not constitute performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
     the Code.

     9. Minimum Payment.

<PAGE>

          Minimum Payments in the amounts set forth on Schedule B shall be made
to all Participants, other than the CEO, if the threshold Goal is not attained.
Sixty percent (60%) of each Minimum Payment shall be made in the form of Stock
Options and forty percent (40%) shall be made in the form of Restricted Stock.
Each Minimum Payment shall be made as soon as practicable and not later than
March 31, 2008. Restricted Stock granted as a Minimum Payment is not intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

     10. Approval of Payment.

     The Committee shall approve or disapprove Award payouts or Minimum Payments
for all Participants following completion of the independent audit. The
Committee may reduce a Participant's Award payout or Minimum Payment (or the
payouts or payments to all or some Participants) if such modification would
better serve the purpose of the Plan.

11. Vesting.

          Stock Options shall vest over three years: one third on the first
anniversary, another third on the second anniversary, and the last third on the
third anniversary of the grant date. Shares of Restricted Stock granted
following the Award Period shall vest over two years: one half on the first
anniversary, and the other half on the second anniversary of the grant date.

     12. Agreements.

          Each grant of Stock Options and Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by
an agreement, specifying restrictions on the transfer and vesting of such shares
and including such other terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee
shall determine.

13. Employment.

     To be eligible to receive an Award payout or Minimum Payment, a Participant
must be employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the payment date. Receiving
an Award, Award payout or Minimum Payment shall not give any Participant the
right to be retained in the employment of the Company or an Affiliate, or affect
the right of the Company or an Affiliate to discharge or discipline a
Participant.

     14. Shareholder Approval.

          All Award payouts and Minimum Payments under this Program are
conditioned on shareholder approval of the Plan at the Company's annual meeting
of shareholders scheduled for May 17, 2007. If the Plan is not approved by
shareholders, no Award payouts or Minimum Payments shall be made under this
Program.

agreements to make any payment the amount of which is, or the terms of payment of which are, in any
respect subject to or contingent upon the revenues, income, cash flow or profits (or the like) of
any person or business; provided that (i) any such future payment that is subject to a contingency
shall be considered Acquisition Consideration only to the extent of the reserve, if any, required
under GAAP at the time of such sale to be established in respect thereof by Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries and (ii) Acquisition Consideration shall exclude any Qualified Capital Stock of
Parent.

          “Additional LC Commitment” shall mean, with respect to each Lender, the commitment, if any, of

the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Additional Term Loan Lender agrees,
severally and not jointly, to make an Additional Term Loan to Borrowers on the Restatement

          Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

-31-

 

          SECTION 2.02 Loans.

          (a) Each Term Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Term Loan Commitments, and each LC Loan
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii) shall be made by the LC Lenders from
their Credit-Linked Deposit ratably in accordance with their LC
Commitment; provided that the
failure of any Lender to make its Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its
obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

          (b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, each Term Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Term Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans as Parent may request pursuant to Section
2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Term Loan by causing any domestic or
foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Term Loan;
provided that any exercise of
such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay such Term Loan in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time;
provided that Parent shall not be entitled to request any Term Borrowing that, if made, would
result in more than three Eurodollar Term Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. For
purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they
commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

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

          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date
(in the case of any Eurodollar Term Borrowing), and at least 2 hours prior to the time (in the case
of any ABR Term Borrowing), of any Term Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Term Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent at the time of
such Term Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If
the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender
shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and
Borrowers severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in
the case of Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the other Term Loans comprising
such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Term Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement, and Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease.

          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with
respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

-32-

Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance
with Section 2.02:

          (a) the aggregate amount of such Term Borrowing;

          (b) the date of such Term Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

          (c) whether such Term Borrowing is to be an ABR Term Borrowing or a Eurodollar Term Borrowing;

thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

          (e) the location and number of the account of the Borrowers to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c); and

have been satisfied as of the date of the notice.

          If no election as to the Type of Term Borrowing is specified, then the requested Term Borrowing
shall be a Eurodollar Term Borrowing having an Interest Period as specified in clause (c) of the
proviso to the definition of Interest Period. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to
the requested Eurodollar Term Borrowing, then Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an
Interest Period as specified in clause (c) of the proviso to the definition of Interest Period.

Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Term Loan to be made as part of the requested Term Borrowing.

with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrowers to such

principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrowers to
each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the
accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligations of Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

-33-

 

          (c) Promissory Notes. Any Lender by written notice to Borrowers (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) may request that Term Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable
to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) in the form of Exhibit I. Thereafter, the Term Loans evidenced by such promissory
note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section
10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the
payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its

Cost Amount and (y) the amount of such Lender’s Credit-Linked-Deposit. The LC Facility Fee

comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in
effect from time to time.

          (c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on
any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount and all Loans shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) in the case of amounts constituting principal and premium, if any, of or
interest on any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any
other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to the ABR Term Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the
“Default Rate”).

          (d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to
Section 2.06(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or
prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable
on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such
Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

          (e) Interest Calculation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a
year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.07 Termination of Loan and Reduction of Commitments and Credit Linked Deposits.

          (a) Termination of Commitments. The Additional LC Commitments and the Additional Term
Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Restatement
Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Additional LC Commitments and the Additional
Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1,
2007, if the initial Credit Extension under this Agreement shall not have occurred by such time.

          (b) Optional Terminations and Reductions of Credit-Linked Deposits. At their option,
Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Credit-Linked
Deposits; provided that (i) each reduction of the Credit-Linked Deposits shall be in an amount that
is (x) an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million or (y) the aggregate
amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits then outstanding and (ii) the Credit-Linked Deposits shall not
be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of LC Exposures
would exceed the aggregate amount of Credit-Linked Deposits. In the case of a termination or
reduction of the Credit-Linked Depos-

-35-

 

its pursuant to the previous sentence and, so long as the LC Exposure (other than to the
extent such LC Exposure is cash collateralized on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Banks and the
Administrative Agent) as of the Maturity Date shall not exceed zero, at the Maturity Date, the
Administrative Agent shall return to the LC Lenders, from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages.

          (c) Notice. Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election
to terminate or reduce the Credit-Linked Deposits under Section 2.07(b) at least three
Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such
election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by
Parent pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be
irrevocable; provided that a notice of
termination of the Commitments delivered by Parent may state that such notice is conditioned upon
the effectiveness of other credit facilities, debt or equity issuances, asset sales or other
funding transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by Parent (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Credit-Linked Deposits shall be permanent.

          SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections.

          (a) Generally. Each (x) Term Borrowing shall on the Closing Date or the Restatement
Effective Date, as applicable, be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in
the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such
Borrowing Request and (y) LC Loan shall on the date such LC Loan is made have an Interest Period
equal to the Interest Period then prevailing on the Credit-Linked Deposits. In the case of each
Borrowing, Parent may thereafter elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all
as provided in this Section. Parent may elect different options with respect to different portions
of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Parent shall
not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than
three Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time.

          (b) Interest Election Notice. To make an election pursuant to this Section, Parent
shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed Interest Election
Request to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of the conversion of an ABR Borrowing to a
Eurodollar Borrowing or the continuation of a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest
Period, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the
proposed conversion or continuation and (ii) in the case of the conversion of a Eurodollar
Borrowing to an ABR Borrowing, not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the
proposed conversion. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable. Each Interest Election
Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding
Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting

     (ii) Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii)
and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

-36-

 

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

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

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

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

          Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (c) Automatic Continuation of Eurodollar Borrowing. If an Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may
require, by notice to Borrowers, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued
as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to
an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.09 Amortization of Term Borrowings and Payment of all Loans on Maturity Date. Borrowers
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the dates set forth on
Annex I, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business
Day (each such date, a “Scheduled Repayment Date”) a principal amount of the Term Loans equal to
the amount set forth on Annex I for such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to
Section 2.10(g)), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment. To the extent not previously paid,
all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

          SECTION 2.10 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans and Mandatory Cash
Collateralization of Letters of Credit.

          (a) Optional Prepayments. Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section;
provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0
million and not less than $5.0 million or the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing.

          (b) Asset Sales. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any Net
Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or (x) in the case of any Net
Cash Proceeds received by any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party pursuant to Section
6.06(b)(ii), within five Business Days of the date a Loan Party receives or is required to
receive under Section 6.06(b)(ii) such Net Cash Proceeds and (y) in the case of any
marketable securities received in consideration of such Asset Sale pursuant to Section
6.06(b)(iii)(y), within five Business Days of the date Parent or a Subsidiary receives or is
required to receive pursuant to Section 6.06(b)(iii)(y)
cash or Cash Equivalents upon the

-37-

 

sale or other disposition of such marketable securities for, or other conversion thereof into,
cash or Cash Equivalents), Borrowers shall make prepayments and cash collateralizations in
accordance with Sections 2.10(g) and (h) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of
such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that:

     (i) no such prepayment or cash collateralization shall be required under this
Section 2.10(b)(i) with respect to (A) any Asset Sale permitted by Section
6.06(a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) or
(i) (other than clause (v) of such clause (i)), (B) the disposition of property
which constitutes a Casualty Event or (C) Asset Sales for fair market value resulting in no
more than $2.0 million in Net Cash Proceeds per Asset Sale (or series of related Asset
Sales) and less than $5.0 million in Net Cash Proceeds in any fiscal year of Parent; and

     (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, to the
extent that the aggregate of such Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales does not exceed (x) $50.0
million for the fiscal year of Parent ending on December 31, 2007, (y) $37.5 million for the
fiscal year of Parent ending on December 31, 2008 and (z) $25.0 million for each fiscal year
of Parent ending on or after December 31, 2009, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required
to be so applied on such date to the extent that Parent shall have delivered an Officers’
Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash
Proceeds are expected to be used to make capital expenditures within 365 days following the
date of such Asset Sale (which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the estimates of the
proceeds to be so expended); provided that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds
is not so used within such 365-day period, such unused portion shall be applied on the last
day of such period as a mandatory prepayment or cash collateralization as otherwise provided
in this Section 2.10(b).

          (c) Debt Issuances; Disqualified Capital Stock Issuances; Structured Securities
Issuances. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of
any Debt Issuance or Disqualified Capital Stock Issuance by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or
any Structured Securities Issuance, Borrowers shall make prepayments and cash collateralizations in
accordance with Sections 2.10(g) and (h) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of
such Net Cash Proceeds.

          (d) Equity Issuance. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any
Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Issuance (other than any Structured Securities Issuance), Borrowers
shall make prepayments and cash collateralizations in accordance with Sections 2.10(g) and
(h) in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

          (e) Casualty Events. Not later than five Business Days following the receipt of any
Net Cash Proceeds from a Casualty Event by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, Borrowers shall make
prepayments and cash collateralizations in accordance with Sections 2.10(g) and (h)
in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds;
provided that:

     (i) so long as no Default shall then exist or arise therefrom, such proceeds shall not
be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower shall have delivered
an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that
such proceeds are expected to be used to repair, replace or restore any property in respect
of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid or to make other capital expenditures, no later
than 365 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds; and

     (ii) if any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be so applied within such
365-day period, such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a
mandatory prepayment or cash collateralization as otherwise provided in this Section
2.10(e).

-38-

 

          (f) Excess Cash Flow. No later than ten Business Days after the date on which the
financial statements with respect to any fiscal year of Parent in which an Excess Cash Flow Period
occurs are or are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), Borrowers shall
make prepayments and cash collateralizations in accordance with Sections 2.10(g) and
(h) in an aggregate amount equal to (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow
Period then ended minus (B) any voluntary prepayments of Loans and any voluntary reductions of the
Credit-Linked Deposits under Section 2.07(b), in each case other than voluntary prepayments
or reductions funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness or other Credit-Linked Deposits or similar
deposits under a letter of credit facility; provided that if (x) Parent elects, in its sole
discretion, to have the period described in clause (i) of the definition of Excess Cash Flow Period
be an Excess Cash Flow Period and (y) the prepayment or cash collateralization required to be made
under this Section 2.10(f) from Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period is not
made due to a failure to comply with Section 5.01(d)(iii) for such Excess Cash Flow Period,
such prepayment or cash collateralization shall only be required to be made upon the earlier of (x)
the date that such Section 5.01(d)(iii) is complied with for such Excess Cash Flow Period
and (y) October 31, 2008.

          (g) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment
hereunder, Parent shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such
selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(h), subject to the
provisions of this Section 2.10(g). Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section
2.10(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) shall be applied to
reduce scheduled prepayments required under Section 2.09,
on a pro rata basis among the
prepayments remaining to be made on each other Scheduled Repayment Date. After application of
mandatory prepayments of Term Loans described above in this Section 2.10(g) and to the
extent there are Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow remaining after such application, Borrowers
shall (i) first, prepay outstanding LC Loans until all outstanding LC Loans have been paid in full
and (ii) second, cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit, without notice or demand, by
depositing on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in the name of the
Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the LC Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure
as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid LC Facility Fees as of such date.

          Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section to the prepayment of Term Loans shall be
applied to reduce outstanding ABR Term Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application
shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Term Loans. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section
to the prepayment of LC Loans shall be applied to reduce outstanding ABR LC Loans. Any amounts
remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar LC Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans required under this
Section shall be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the ABR Term Loans at the time
outstanding (to the extent that such excess does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the
Eurodollar Term Loans at the time outstanding, an “Excess Term Loan Prepayment Amount”), only the
portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Term
Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Parent, the Excess Term Loan Prepayment
Amount shall be either (A) deposited in an escrow account on terms satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent and applied to the prepayment of Eurodollar Term Loans on the last day of the then
next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Term Loans;
provided that (i) interest in respect of
such Excess Term Loan Prepayment Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided
hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Term Loan Prepayment Amount is intended to repay until
such Excess Term Loan Prepayment Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans and (ii)
at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may,
and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on
deposit to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Term Loan Prepayment Amount
or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section
2.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of LC Loans required
under this Section shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR LC Loans at the time outstanding (an
“Excess LC Loan

-39-

 

Prepayment Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the
amount of such outstanding ABR LC Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of
Parent, the Excess LC Loan Prepayment Amount shall be either (A) deposited in an escrow account on
terms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and applied to the prepayment of Eurodollar LC Loans on
the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar
LC Loans; provided that (i)
interest in respect of such Excess Term Loan Prepayment Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at
the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess LC Loan Prepayment Amount is intended
to repay until such Excess LC Loan Prepayment Amount shall have been used in full to repay such
Loans and (ii) at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or
all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess LC Loan
Prepayment Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under
Section 2.13.

          (h) Notice of Prepayment. Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent by written
notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not
later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and
(ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable. Each such
notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof
to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the
amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall
be (i) an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million or (ii) the aggregate
principal amount of the Loans of the applicable Class then outstanding, in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of a Credit Extension of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02,
except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment
of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and
otherwise in accordance with this Section. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to
the extent required by Section 2.06.

          (i) Prepayment Premium. If any prepayment of Loans under Section 2.10(a) or
2.10(c) (other than from the Net Cash Proceeds of Structured Securities) or reduction of
Credit-Linked Deposits under Section 2.07(b) on or prior to the first anniversary of the
Closing Date is made with Indebtedness or proceeds of credit-linked deposits having an effective
interest rate or facility fees less than those applicable to the Loans or Credit-Linked Deposits at
the time of such prepayment or reduction, or if any Lender is prepaid its Loans and returned its
Credit Linked Deposits in connection with a replacement of such Lender pursuant to Section
10.02(d) solely because such Lender shall not have consented to an amendment to this Agreement
that would lower such interest rate or fees, then such prepayment shall be accompanied by a premium
payable by Borrowers equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Loans so prepaid or Credit-Linked
Deposits so reduced or returned.

          SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such
Interest Period;

-40-

 

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

          SECTION 2.12 Yield Protection.

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

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in, by any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

     (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to
increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding
company, if any, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

          (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines (in good
faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such
Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of
such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or
the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to Parent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
Business Days after receipt thereof.

-41-

 

          (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank
to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that Borrowers shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof).

          SECTION 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or
mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or reduction or termination of any Credit-Linked
Deposits earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result
of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or reduction or termination of
any Credit-Linked Deposits earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c)
the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan or make, reduce or terminate
any Credit-Linked Deposit on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit earlier than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Parent pursuant to Section
2.16(b) (other than a request in respect of a Requesting Lender), then, in any such event,
Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.
In the case of a Eurodollar Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender
shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan or Credit-Linked
Deposit had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan or Credit-Linked Deposit, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of
the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan or Credit-Linked
Deposit), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such
period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Parent (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 5 Business
Days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

          (a) Payments Generally. Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them
hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement
Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 or
10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other
Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New
York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its offices at 677 Washington Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut, except payments to be made
directly to the Issuing Banks as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the
persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons
specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for
the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
If any payment under any Loan

-42-

 

Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the
date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any
payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All
payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as expressly specified
otherwise.

          (b) Pro Rata Treatment.

     (i) Each payment by Borrowers of interest, LC Facility Fees and premium in respect of
the Loans or Credit-Linked Deposit shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing
to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the
Lenders.

     (ii) Each payment on account of principal of the Term Loans shall be allocated among
the Term Loan Lenders pro rata based on the principal amount of the Term Loans held by the
Term Loan Lenders and each payment on account of principal of LC Loans or return of
Credit-Linked Deposits shall be allocated among the LC Lenders pro
rata based on the
principal amount of the LC Loans or the amount of Credit-Linked Deposits, respectively, held
by the LC Lenders.

          (c) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement
Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall
be applied (i) first, toward
payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such
parties, and (ii) second, toward
payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due
to such parties; provided that the Administrative Agent may, subject to any applicable federal,
state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar orders, distribute any adequate
protection payments it receives on behalf of the Lenders to the Lenders in its sole discretion
(i.e., whether to pay the earliest accrued interest, all accrued interest on a pro rata
basis or otherwise).

          (d) Sharing of Set-Off. If any Lender (and/or any Issuing Bank, which shall be deemed
a “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.14(d)) shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other Obligations 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 and such other obligations 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 are purchased and all or any portion of the payment
giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase
price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

     (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans, participations in LC Disbursements or Credit
Linked Deposits to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

-43-

 

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any
Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this
Section 2.14(d) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its
rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured
Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(d) to share in the benefits of the recovery of
such secured claim.

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

          (f) Lender Default. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made
by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.14(e), 2.18(d), 2.18(e) or
10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

          SECTION 2.15 Taxes.

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

          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph
(a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

          (c) Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender

-44-

 

or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or an
Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

          (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled
to do so, deliver to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of
the following is applicable

     (i) duly completed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a
party which exempts such Foreign Lender from U.S. withholding tax or reduces the rate of
withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Foreign Lender,

     (ii) duly completed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying
that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the
conduct of such Foreign Lender’s trade or business in the United States and exempt from U.S.
withholding tax,

     (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the
form of Exhibit M, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Parent within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, or

     (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable
Requirements of Law to permit Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made.

          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing
Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which either
Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrowers an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided that Borrowers, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Is-

-45-

 

suing Bank, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its
tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to
Borrowers or any other person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any
Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrowers the payment of which would place such Lender in a
less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts
giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid.

          SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

          (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or requires Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.15, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to
Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
2.12, or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any
Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder (any such Lender, a “Requesting Lender”),
or if Parent exercises its replacement rights under Section 10.02(d), then Parent may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that:

     (i) Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and
recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b);

     (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including
any amounts under Section 2.13), assuming for this purpose (in the case of a Lender
being replaced pursuant to Section 10.02(d)) that the Loans of such Lender were
being prepaid) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts including any amount
pursuant to Section 2.10(i));

     (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

-46-

 

     (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

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

          SECTION 2.17 Credit-Linked Deposits.

          (a) To request the funding of the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, Borrowers shall deliver, by
hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed and irrevocable funding request to the
Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the requested
funding of the Credit-Linked Deposits containing substantially the same information as is required
in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2.03 in respect of the Borrowing Requests
for Term Borrowings. Each LC Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to remit to the
Administrative Agent on the Restatement Effective Date, an amount equal to such LC Lender’s
Additional LC Commitment as its Credit-Linked Deposit to be made on the Restatement Effective Date.
The Administrative Agent shall deposit all such amounts received by it into the Credit-Linked
Deposit Account promptly upon receipt thereof. Each LC Lender irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that its Credit-Linked Deposit shall be available (i) to pay to the Issuing Banks such
Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of any Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit
that is not reimbursed by Borrowers and (ii) to fund such Lender’s LC Loans, in each case, pursuant
to Section 2.18(e)(ii).

          (b) No Person (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right to make any
withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or to exercise any other right or power with
respect thereto. Each LC Lender agrees that its right, title and interest in and to the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account shall be limited to the right to require its Credit-Linked Deposit to
be applied as provided in Section 2.18(e)(ii) and that it will have no right to require the
return of its Credit-Linked Deposit other than as expressly provided herein. Each LC Lender hereby
acknowledges that (i) its Credit-Linked Deposit constitutes payment for its participations in
Letters of Credit issued, deemed issued or to be issued hereunder, (ii) its Credit-Linked Deposit
and any investments made therewith shall secure its obligations to the Issuing Banks hereunder
(each LC Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, a
security interest in its Credit-Linked Deposit and all of its rights in the Credit-Linked Deposit
Account to secure its obligations under this Section and agrees that the Administrative Agent, as
holder of the Credit-Linked Deposits and any investments made therewith, will be acting as
collateral agent for the Issuing Banks) and (iii) the Issuing Banks will be issuing (in the case of
UBS AG, Stamford Branch, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition “Issuing Banks” set
forth in Section 1.1), amending, renewing and extending Letters of Credit in reliance on
the availability of such Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit to discharge such Lender’s obligations in
connection with any Reimbursement Obligations in respect thereof in accordance with Section
2.18(e). Each Issuing Bank hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its collateral agent
for the purpose of holding the Credit-Linked Deposits, any investments made therewith and the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent hereby grants a security interest to the
Issuing Banks in all of its rights, title and interest to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. The
funding of the Credit-Linked Deposits and the agreements with respect thereto set forth in this
Agreement constitute arrangements among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the LC
Lenders with respect to the funding obligations of such Lenders under this Agreement, and the
Credit-Linked Deposits do not constitute assets of, or loans or extensions of credit to, any Loan
Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each party hereto acknowledges and
agrees that the Credit-Linked Deposits are and at all times will continue to be property of the LC
Lenders, and that no amount on deposit at any time in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account shall be
the property of any Loan Party, constitute “Collateral” under the Credit Documents (except the
Credit-Linked Deposits will serve as collateral to the extent contemplated in clause (ii) above) or
otherwise be available in any

-47-

 

manner to satisfy any Obligations of any Loan Party under the Credit Documents other than the LC
Obligations that do not consist of LC Loans and (ii) the obligation to return the Credit-Linked
Deposits to the LC Lenders is solely an obligation of the Administrative Agent, and none of Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any liability or obligation in respect of the principal
amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits.

          (c) Each of Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the LC Lenders hereby
acknowledges and agrees that each LC Lender is making its payment on the Restatement Effective Date
pursuant to Section 2.17(a) to be paid into the Credit-Linked Deposit Account for
application in the manner contemplated by Section 2.18(e)(ii). The Administrative Agent
agrees (except during periods when such Credit-Linked Deposits, or funds applied by or on behalf of
an Issuing Bank against such Credit-Linked Deposits, are used to cover LC Disbursements under
Letters of Credit) to direct the investment of the Credit-Linked Deposits as follows: (i) the
Administrative Agent shall invest the Credit-Linked Deposits in such investments as the
Administrative Agent shall from time to time determine and (ii) on the last Business Day of such
Interest Period the Administrative Agent shall disburse to the LC Lenders in accordance with their
Pro Rata Percentages the amount of the interest for such Interest Period on the Credit-Linked
Deposits held by it at the rate equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period minus the
Credit-Linked Deposit Cost Amount.

          (d) With respect to any Interest Period during which an LC Loan is deemed made, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the amount of interest payable by the Borrowers on such LC
Loan for the portion of such Interest Period during which such LC Loan is outstanding and the
amount of interest payable by the Administrative Agent on the Credit-Linked Deposits during such
Interest Period pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.18 Letters of Credit

          (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrowers may
request an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for Parent’s own
account or for the account of a Subsidiary of Parent in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the LC
Availability Period; provided that Borrowers shall be co-applicants, and be jointly and severally
liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary of Parent,
provided further that the Borrowers only may request UBS AG, Stamford Branch, to issue Letters of
Credit to replace Existing Letters of Credit issued by UBS AG, Stamford Branch that are outstanding
on the Restatement Effective Date and or to amend, renew or extend such Letters of Credit. No
Issuing Bank shall have an obligation to issue, and Borrowers shall not request the issuance of,
any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would
exceed the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of
letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrowers to, or entered into by
Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall control.

          (b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions and
Notices. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension
of an outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall deliver, by hand or telecopier (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing
Bank), an LC Request to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank) and the
Administrative Agent.

-48-

 

          A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank:

     (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day);

     (ii) the amount thereof;

     (iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on
the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);

     (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

     (v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account
of one of its Subsidiaries (provided that Borrowers shall be co-applicants, and therefore
jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account
of a Subsidiary);

     (vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing
thereunder;

     (vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in
connection with any drawing thereunder;

     (viii) with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary (other
than BE LLC) only, all documentation and other information that may be required by the
Lenders in order to enable compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, including the information
described in Section 10.13; and

     (ix) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may require.

          A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank:

     (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

     (ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a
Business Day);

     (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension;

     (iv) with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary (other
than BE LLC) only, all documentation and other information that may be required by the
Lenders in order to enable compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money
laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, including the information
described in Section 10.13; and

     (v) such other matters as the applicable Issuing Bank may require.

If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Borrowers also shall submit a letter of credit application on
such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter
of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension

-49-

 

of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after
giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not
exceed the aggregate amount of the Credit-Linked Deposits and (ii)(x) for Letters of Credit issued
on the Closing Date, the conditions set forth in Article IV in respect of such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied and (y) for Letters of Credit issued
after the Closing Date, no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (h)
or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing. Unless an Issuing Bank shall agree
otherwise, no Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall be in an initial amount less than
$25,000.

          Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to
a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who
shall promptly notify each LC Lender, thereof, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such
Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit and the
amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section
2.18(d). On the first Business Day of each calendar month, each Issuing Bank shall provide to
the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank and the amounts and beneficiaries thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide
such report to each LC Lender.

          On, and effective as of, the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to
have been issued hereunder.

          (c) Expiration Date.

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the
earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

     (ii) If the applicable Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Request, the
applicable Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions
(each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of
Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by
giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless
otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower shall not be
required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an
Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the LC Lenders shall be deemed to have
authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such
Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year
from the date of such renewal and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that
such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if an Event of Default under Section
8.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the
time of such renewal.

          (d) Participations. By the issuance, or deemed issuance, of a Letter of Credit (or an
amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on
the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants
to each LC Lender, and each LC Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in
such Letter of Credit equal to such LC Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
Loan Document, the sole funding obligation of each LC Lender in respect of (i) the Existing LC
Commitment has been satisfied in full on the Closing Date by the making on the Closing Date of such
LC Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit relating to such LC Lender’s Existing LC Commitment and (ii) the
Additional LC Commitment be satisfied in

-50-

 

full on the Restatement Effective Date by the making on the Restatement Effective Date of such
LC Lender’s Credit-Linked Deposit relating to such LC Lender’s Additional LC Commitment.

          (e) Reimbursement.

     (i) If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit
issued by it, Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to such Issuing Bank
an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made if Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC
Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has
not been received by Borrowers prior to such time on such date, then not later than 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrowers
receive such notice; provided that if such reimbursement is not made and an LC Loan may be
made as set forth below, Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting LC Loan.

     (ii) In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement and Borrowers shall
not have repaid such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.18(e)(i), such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify each LC Lender
of such failure, and the Administrative Agent shall apply from the Credit-Linked Deposits
toward such LC Disbursement each LC Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement
from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. In the event the Administrative Agent applies the
Credit-Linked Deposits to LC Disbursements under a Letter of Credit pursuant to the
preceding sentence, Borrowers shall have the right (provided no Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be
continuing) to pay over to the Administrative Agent in reimbursement thereof an amount equal
to the full amount of such LC Disbursements, and such payment shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (ii) of the immediately following sentence.
Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment by Borrowers in
respect of any LC Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payment (i) if no payments in respect of such LC Disbursement have been made
from the Credit Linked Deposits, to such Issuing Bank or (ii) to the extent payments have
been made from the Credit-Linked Deposits, to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account with respect
to such Letter of Credit to be added to the Credit-Linked Deposits held by the
Administrative Agent. Borrowers acknowledge that each payment made pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of any unreimbursed payment is required to be made for the benefit of
the applicable Issuing Bank indicated in the immediately preceding sentence; provided that,
if no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (h) or
(i) shall have occurred and be continuing, then any payment made from the
Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for
any unreimbursed payment shall be deemed an extension of term loans made on such date by
each LC Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage of the Credit-Linked
Deposits (such term loans, the “LC Loans”), and the amount so funded shall reduce the
Credit-Linked Deposits.

          (f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of Borrowers as provided in
Section 2.18(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by an
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails
to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or

-51-

 

circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of
setoff against, the obligations of Borrowers hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results
of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Parent and its Subsidiaries.
None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates shall have any
liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any
Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of
the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption,
loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the
control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to
excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as
opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrowers to the
extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by Borrowers that are caused by such
Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly
agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank
(as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to
have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which
appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

          (g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the
Administrative Agent and Borrowers of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has
made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve Borrowers of their Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing
Bank and the LC Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the
timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.18(e)).

          (h) Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made or the amount of such LC Disbursement is satisfied out of the Credit Linked
Deposits, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrowers reimburse
such LC Disbursement or such LC Disbursement is repaid with a Credit-Linked Deposit, at the rate
per annum determined pursuant to Section 2.06(c). Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on
and after the date of payment by any LC Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii) to reimburse
such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such LC Lender to the extent of such payment.

          (i) Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank. UBS AG, Stamford Branch, may resign as
Issuing Bank at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and Borrowers. Any other Issuing Bank may, so long as there shall remain at least one
Issuing Bank hereunder other than UBS AG, Stamford Branch, resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any
time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrowers.
An Issuing

-52-

 

Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrowers, each Agent, the
replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. An additional Issuing Bank may be designated
at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers, each Agent and such additional Issuing Bank,
and the Lenders hereby consent and authorize, notwithstanding any requirements of Section
10.02 to the contrary, Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and any such
additional or replacement the Issuing Bank, to enter into any amendment or supplement to the Loan
Documents to effectuate the addition of or replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such
resignation or replacement shall become effective, Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for
the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank or the designation of any
additional Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such resignation, replacement or
addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or any additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights
and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be
issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to
refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or additional Issuing
Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigned or replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a
party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

          (j) Other. No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its
terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any
Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank
shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such
Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall
impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on
the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it.

          No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such
Issuing Bank 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.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Banks and each of the Lenders (with references to the Companies being references thereto
after giving effect to the Transactions unless otherwise expressly stated) that:

          SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each Company (a) is duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to
carry on its business as now conducted and to own and lease its property and (c) is qualified and
in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable jurisdiction) to do
business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in such jurisdictions
where the failure to so

-53-

 

qualify or be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party
are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of such Loan Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party
and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when
executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a valid and binding agreement of such
Loan Party, and each Note, when executed and delivered by the Borrowers, will constitute a valid
and binding obligation of each Borrower, in each case, enforceable against the loan Parties party
thereto or the Borrowers, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, concepts or reasonableness and general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

          SECTION 3.03 No Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.03, the Transactions (a) do
not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and
effect, (ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created by the Loan Documents and (iii) consents,
approvals, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure to obtain or perform which could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate the
Organizational Documents of any Company, (c) will not violate any Requirement of Law, except for
violations that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (d) will
not violate, or result in a default or require any consent or approval under, any indenture,
agreement or other instrument binding upon any Company or its property, or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Company, except for violations, defaults or
requirements that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (e)
will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Company, except
Liens created by the Loan Documents and Permitted Liens.

          SECTION 3.04 Financial Statements; Projections.

          (a) Historical Financial Statements. Parent has heretofore delivered to the Lenders
the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash
flows of Parent (i) as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, audited by and
accompanied by an opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii)
as of and for each fiscal quarter of 2006 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, in each
case, certified by the chief financial officer of Parent. To the best of the Company’s knowledge
after due inquiry, subject to (in the case of financial statements for non-annual periods and for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006) year-end audit adjustments, the effect of events
subsequent to the Closing Date and lack of footnotes, such financial statements are presented in
accordance with GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows of Parent as of the dates, and for the periods to, which they relate.

          (b) No Liabilities. Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in
Section 3.04(a), to the best of the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, there are no
liabilities of any Company of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined,
determinable or otherwise, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Since December 31, 2006, to the best of the Company’s knowledge after due inquiry, there
has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has
had a Material Adverse Effect.

-54-

 

          (c) Operating Metrics and Cost Metrics. The operating metrics and cost metrics
delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(e)(i) of the Original Credit Agreement were prepared in good
faith by the Loan Parties.

          (d) Projections and Forecasts. The projections and forecasts of financial performance
of Parent and its subsidiaries included in the Confidential Information Memorandum have been
prepared in good faith by Borrowers and based on assumptions believed by Borrowers to be
reasonable.

          SECTION 3.05 Properties.

          (a) Generally. Each Company has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all
its property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens and
minor irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not
interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such
property for its intended purpose and except for such Liens, irregularities, invalidities and
deficiencies that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. The property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good
operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitutes all
the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently
conducted, except in each case where failure to be in such order, condition or repair or lack of
required property would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Real Property. Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate dated the Closing
Date contains a true and complete list of each interest in Real Property owned by any Company as of
the Closing Date.

          (c) Collateral. Except to the extent that the failure to do so would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
each Company owns or has rights to use all of the Collateral and all rights with respect to any of
the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to each Company’s business as currently conducted.
The use by each Company of such Collateral and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do
not infringe on the rights of any person other than such infringement which would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has
been made and remains outstanding that any Company’s use of any Collateral does or may violate the
rights of any third party that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.06 Intellectual Property.

          (a) Ownership/No Claims. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all patents,
patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, technology, trade secrets,
proprietary information, domain names, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its
business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those the failure to own
or license which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 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 any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim, except
for such claims that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by each Loan Party does not
infringe the rights of any person, except for such infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-55-

 

          (b) No Violations or Proceedings. To each Loan Party’s knowledge, on and as of the
Closing Date, there is no material violation by others of any right of such Loan Party with respect
to any copyright, patent or trademark listed in Schedule 10(a) or 10(b) to the
Perfection Certificate, pledged by it under the name of such Loan Party except as may be set forth
on Schedule 3.06(b) or except for such violations that, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries.

          (a) Equity Interests. Schedules 1(a) and 8 to the Perfection
Certificate dated the Closing Date set forth a list of (i) all the Loan Parties and their
jurisdictions of organization as of the Closing Date and (ii) the number of each class of Equity
Interests of any Subsidiary of Parent held by any Loan Party on the Closing Date. All Equity
Interests of each Company are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. All
Equity Interests of BE LLC are owned directly by Parent. Each Loan Party is the record and
beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it under
the Security Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except
Permitted Liens, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or
shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is
convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any such Equity Interests.

          (b) No Consent of Third Parties Required. No consent of any person including any
other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other
shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or reasonably desirable (from the
perspective of a secured party) in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority
status of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Security Agreement or the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security
Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

          SECTION 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Laws. Except as disclosed in Parent’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Closing Date, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the
knowledge of any Company, threatened against or affecting any Company or any business, property or
rights of any Company that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.09 [Reserved].

          SECTION 3.10 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of
Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or
ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the
provisions of Regulation U or X. The pledge of the Securities Collateral pursuant to the Security
Agreement does not violate such regulations.

          SECTION 3.11 Investment Company Act. No Company is required to register as an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

          SECTION 3.12 Taxes. Each Company has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all U.S.
federal Tax Returns and all state, local and foreign Tax Returns required to have been filed by it
except where the failure to do so would not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the
aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect (taking into consideration the accruals made in
respect of taxes), and all Tax Returns that have been filed are true and correct in all material
respects and (b) duly and timely

-56-

 

paid, collected or remitted or caused to be duly and timely paid, collected or remitted all
Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable, collectible or remittable by it and
all assessments received by it, except Taxes (i) that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which such Company has set aside on its books adequate reserves in
accordance with GAAP or (ii) the nonpayment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect (taking into consideration the accruals made in respect of taxes).

          SECTION 3.13 No Material Misstatements. The information furnished by or on behalf of any Company
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document
or contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum (other than general economic or general
industry information), taken as a whole, does not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading as of the date such information is
dated or certified; provided that to the extent any such information was based upon or constitutes
a forecast or projection, each Company represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized
reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial
statement, exhibit or schedule.

          SECTION 3.14 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the
Closing Date and immediately after the Restatement Effective Date, (a) the fair value of the
properties of Parent and its Subsidiaries will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, in each case determined on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair
saleable value of the property of Parent and its Subsidiaries will be greater than the amount that
will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, in each
case determined on a consolidated basis; (c) Parent and its Subsidiaries will be able to pay their
debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become
absolute and matured, in each case determined on a consolidated basis; and (d) Parent and its
Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to
conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business was conducted on the Closing Date
and is proposed to be conducted following the Restatement Effective Date.

          SECTION 3.15 Employee Benefit Plans. Each Company and its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all
respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder, except where the failure to be in such compliance, individually or in
the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA
Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such
ERISA Events, would reasonably be expected to result in liability of any Company or any of its
ERISA Affiliates or the imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Company, except for such
liabilities or Liens that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods
consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each
Company or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal
therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          To the extent applicable, each Foreign Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms
and with the requirements of any and all applicable Requirements of Law and has been maintained,
where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except for such failures
to maintain or be in good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Company has incurred any obligation in
connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan that, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.15, the present value of

-57-

 

the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is
funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the respective Company
on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current
value of the property of such Foreign Plan in an amount that, individually or in the aggregate,
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and for each Foreign Plan
which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued, except where the
failure to be so accrued, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.16 Environmental Matters.

          Except as set forth in Schedule 3.16 or except as, individually or in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

          (a) The Companies and their businesses and operations are in compliance with, and, to the
knowledge of the Companies, the Companies have no liability under, any applicable Environmental
Law;

          (b) The Companies have obtained all Environmental Permits required for the conduct of their
businesses and operations, and the ownership, operation and use of their property, under
Environmental Law, and all such Environmental Permits are valid and in good standing;

          (c) There has been no Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material on, at, under or
from any Real Property or facility presently or, to the knowledge of the Companies, formerly owned,
leased or operated by the Companies or their predecessors in interest that could result in
liability to the Companies under any applicable Environmental Law;

          (d) There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Companies, threatened
against the Companies, or relating to the Real Property currently or to the knowledge of the
Companies formerly owned, leased or operated by the Companies or their predecessors in interest or
relating to the operations of the Companies, and, to the knowledge of the Companies, there are no
actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents that could form the basis of
such an Environmental Claim;

          (e) No Company is obligated to perform any action or otherwise incur any expense under
Environmental Law pursuant to any order, decree, judgment or agreement by which it is bound or has
assumed by contract, agreement or operation of law, and no Company is conducting or financing any
Response pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property or any other location;

          (f) No Real Property or facility owned, operated or leased by the Companies and, to the
knowledge of the Companies, no Real Property or facility formerly owned, operated or leased by the
Companies or any of their predecessors in interest is (i) listed or, to the knowledge of the
Companies, proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or
(ii) listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information
System promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or (iii) included on any similar list maintained by any
Governmental Authority including any such list relating to petroleum;

          (g) No Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened under any
Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property or other assets of the Companies; and

          (h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not require any notification, registration, filing, report

-58-

 

ing, disclosure, investigation, remediation or cleanup pursuant to any Governmental Real
Property Disclosure Requirements or any other applicable Environmental Law.

          SECTION 3.17 Insurance. Schedule 3.17 sets forth a true, complete and correct description
of all material policies of insurance maintained by each Company as of the Closing Date. All
insurance maintained by the Companies is in full force and effect, all premiums have been duly
paid, no Company has received notice of violation or cancellation thereof, except in each case for
failures that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Each Company has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and
liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged in similar businesses in
similar locations, except where the failure to have such insurance, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.18 Security Documents.

          (a) Security Agreement. The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and
security interests in, the Security Agreement Collateral and, (i) when financing statements and
other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 5 to the
Perfection Certificate and (ii) upon the delivery to or control by the Collateral Agent of the
Security Agreement Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by
delivery or control (which delivery to or control by the Collateral Agent shall be provided to the
extent delivery to or control by the Collateral Agent is required by the Security Agreement), the
Liens created by the Security Agreement (other than Liens on Money, Excluded Accounts, Intellectual
Property to the extent that the perfection of a security interest therein requires that a filing be
made outside the United States or with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United
States Copyright Office and Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Rights not constituting
Supporting Obligations in respect of other Collateral (each capitalized term used in this
parenthetical phase having the meaning set forth in the Security Agreement)) shall be perfected
(other than such Security Agreement Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected
under the UCC as in effect at the relevant time in the relevant jurisdiction or any security
interest the perfection of which requires filing in the real estate recording office of any
jurisdiction), in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

          (b) PTO Filing; Copyright Office Filing. When the Security Agreement or a short form
thereof is filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright
Office, the security interests created under the Security Agreement in all right, title and
interest of the grantors thereunder in Patents issued by or applied for with, and Trademarks (each
as defined in the Security Agreement) registered or applied for with, the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or Copyrights (as defined in such Security Agreement) registered with the United
States Copyright Office, as the case may be, in each case properly listed in such filing, will be
perfected to the extent that a filing in such offices is sufficient to effect such perfection, in
each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

ARTICLE VII

GUARANTEE

          SECTION 7.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective
successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and
interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the
provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency
petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the
Notes held by each Lender of, each Borrower, and all other Secured Obligations from time to
time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Hedging
Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement entered into with a counterparty that is a Secured
Party, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being
herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and
severally agree that if Borrowers or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, upon demand, and that in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

          SECTION 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under
Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and
several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Guaranteed Obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange
of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective
of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the
following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall
remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described
above:

     (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;

     (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if
any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or
omitted;

     (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan
Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended
or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

     (iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an Issuing Bank or any
Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected;
or

     (v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.09.

-81-

 

          The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest
and any notices not provided for under Article VII, and any requirement that any
Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against either Borrower under this
Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or
therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the
Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal,
extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and
the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between each Borrower
and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated
in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties,
and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or
contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right
or remedy against either Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in
respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or
guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in
full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the
Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time
during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

          SECTION 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this
Article VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason
any payment by or on behalf of either Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or
otherwise.

          SECTION 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. A Guarantor that makes a payment with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations hereunder
shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrowers with respect to such
payment; provided that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all
Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders
under this Agreement no Guarantor shall exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect,
arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01, whether by
subrogation or otherwise, against either Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

          SECTION 7.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the
Lenders, the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be
declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.01 (and shall be
deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in
Section 8.01) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration
(or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrowers) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

          SECTION 7.06 [Reserved]

          SECTION
7.07  Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment, and
shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

-82-

 

          SECTION 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or
limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the
obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined
to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other
creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then,
notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall,
without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of
contribution established in Section 7.10) that is valid and enforceable and not
subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

          SECTION 7.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, any Guarantor
shall cease be a Subsidiary of Parent (a “Transferred Guarantor”) such Transferred Guarantor
shall, upon ceasing to be such a Subsidiary, be automatically released from its obligations
under this Agreement (including under Section 10.03 hereof) and its obligations to
pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case
of any Equity Interests in such Guarantor no longer held by a Borrower or another Guarantor the
pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreements
shall be automatically released, and the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are
necessary to effect each release described in this Section in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the Security Documents, so long as Borrowers shall have provided the Agents such
certifications or documents as any Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate that
such Guarantor’s ceasing to be a Subsidiary of Parent complied with the relevant provisions of
Agreement.

          SECTION 7.10 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more
than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to
seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid
its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section
shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed
by such Guarantor hereunder.

than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on
overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Defaults (other than non-payment of
principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of
acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.02, then upon the
written consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to Parent, the termination of the
Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such
action shall not affect any subsequent Default or impair any right or remedy consequent
thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks to a decision that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and
such provisions are not intended to benefit Borrowers and do not give Borrowers the right to
require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

          SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints UBS AG, Stamford
Branch, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agents by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of
this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights
as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

          SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each person serving as an 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 either Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

          SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no
Agent:

     (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (ii) shall 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 such 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 such Agent shall not be required to take
any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law; and

     (iii) shall, 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

-87-

 

Parent or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person
serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (y) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by either Borrower, a
Lender or an Issuing Bank.

          No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with 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 (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this
Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine
of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties.

          Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent will
use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be
filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among
other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that such service provider will be
deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by such service provider.

          SECTION 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing (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. Each 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 an Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such
Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from
such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for either
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts.

          SECTION 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each 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, or delegate any and all such rights
and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each 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

-88-

 

to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent,
and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

          SECTION 9.06 Resignation of Agent. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing
Banks and Parent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, in consultation with Parent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with
an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 75 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks,
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Agent shall notify Parent and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring 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 Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon
the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or
retired) Agent, and the retiring 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 paragraph). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such
successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the
retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

          SECTION 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has reviewed the Confidential Information
Memorandum and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this
Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the
recipients thereof. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

          SECTION 9.08 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookmanagers, Arrangers,
Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or 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, the Collateral Agent, a
Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the
recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in
paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

          (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks hereunder may (subject to Section 10.01(d)) be delivered or
furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites)
pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall
not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or Parent may, in its discretion, agree to accept

acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”
function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such

such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on

Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended
recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that

          (c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

          (d) Posting. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the
Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to
furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document,
including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports,
certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i)
relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of
credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii)
relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the
scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv) is
required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this
Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded
communications, collectively, the “Communi-

-91-

 

cations”), by transmitting the Communications in an
electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at
christopher.gomes@ubs.com or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to Parent from time to
time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent
shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications
to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative
Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section shall prejudice the right of the Agents, any
Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or as any such Agent shall require.

          To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the
Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at
its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the
Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that
Parent shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed original of each Compliance
Certificate required to be delivered hereunder.

          Each Loan Party further agrees that Administrative Agent may make the Communications
available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or a substantially similar
electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as
available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or
the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the
communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without
limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement
of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent in
connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent
or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other
person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out
of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the
Internet, except to the extent the liability of such person is found in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

          SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendment.

          (a) Generally. No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies
of each Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.
No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a
Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on either Borrower in any case
shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

          (b) Required Consents. Subject to Sections 10.02(c), (d) and (e),
neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in

-92-

 

writing entered into by Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (and,
prior to the occurrence of a Successful Syndication, UBS Loan Finance LLC) or, in the case of
any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Administrative Agent (and, prior to the occurrence of a Successful Syndication, UBS Loan
Finance LLC), the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or
Loan Parties that are party thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided
that no such agreement shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

     (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it
being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect
to any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in the Commitment
of any Lender);

     (ii) reduce the principal amount or premium of any Loan, LC Disbursement or Credit-Linked
Deposit or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section
2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment
of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it
being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this
Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause
(ii));

     (iii) (A) change the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of
payment of or the installment otherwise due on the principal amount of any Term Loan under
Section 2.09, (B) postpone the date for payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or any
interest or fees payable hereunder, (C) change the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment
(other than waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)),
or (D) postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity
Date, in any case, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

     (iv) permit the assignment or delegation by either Borrower of any of its rights or
obligations under any Loan Document (except in the case of BE LLC, in connection with a
transaction pursuant to Section 605(c)(i)), without the written consent of each Lender;

     (v) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their Guarantee (except as
expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such
Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender;

     (vi) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security
Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of
the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (it being
understood that additional Classes of Loans consented to by the Required Lenders may be equally
and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing Secured Obligations under the
Security Documents);

     (vii) change Section 2.14(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby or any other provision in a
manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among the Lenders of Loan disbursements,
including the requirements of Sections 2.02(a) and 2.18(d), without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

     (viii) change any provision of this Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.02(c)
or (d), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except
for additional restrictions on

-93-

 

amendments or waivers for the benefit of Lenders of additional
Classes of Loans consented to by the Required Lenders);

     (ix) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required
Class Lenders,” “Required LC Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including
this Section) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required
to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any con
sent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class,
as the case may be), other than to increase such percentage or number or to give any additional
Lender or group of Lenders such right to waive, amend or modify or make any such determination
or grant any such consent;

     (x) change the application of prepayments as among or between Classes under Section
2.10(g), without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of each Class that is
being allocated a lesser prepayment as a result thereof (it being understood that the Required
Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application, as between
Classes, of any portion of such prepayment that is still required to be made is not changed
and, if additional Classes of Term Loans under this Agreement consented to by the Required
Lenders are made, such new Term Loans may be included on a pro rata basis in the various
prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.10(g));

     (xi) change or waive the application of prepayments of Term Loans of any Class set forth
in Section 2.10(g) to the remaining scheduled amortization payments to be made thereon
under Section 2.09, without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of such
Class;

     (xii) subordinate the Obligations to any other obligation, without the written consent of
each Lender;

     (xiii) change or waive any provision of Article X as the same applies to any
Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any
Agent, in each case without the written consent of such Agent; or

     (xiv) change or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the issuance of or
purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written consent of the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank;

provided, further, that any waiver, amendment or modification prior to the completion of the
primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans (as determined by the Arranger) may not be
effected without the written consent of the Arranger.

          (c) Collateral. Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan
Party or Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in its or their
respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into
any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to
effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest
in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein
comply with applicable Requirements of Law.

          (d) Dissenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver,
discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section
10.02(b), the con-

-94-

 

sent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of
such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Parent shall have the right
to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or
more persons pursuant to Section 2.16 so long as at the time of such replacement each
such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender
agrees that, if Parent elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall
promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to
evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s
Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such
non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and
purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in
the Register.

          (e) Certain Amendments without Lender Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 10.02, if the Administrative Agent and Parent shall
have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect
cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in
any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent
(acting in their sole discretion) and the Borrowers or any other relevant Loan Party shall be
permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further
action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

          SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

          (a) Costs and Expenses. Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective
Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent) in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein (including the obtaining and maintaining of CUSIP numbers
for the Loans), the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendment, amendment and restatement,
modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including in connection with post-closing
searches to confirm that security filings and recordations have been properly made and
including any costs and expenses of the service provider referred to in Section 9.03,
(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank), in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of
such Loans or Letters of Credit and (iv) all documentary and similar taxes and charges in
respect of the Loan Documents.

          (b) Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) each Lender
and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person
being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any
amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or
thereof, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consumma-

-95-

 

tion of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the applicable Issuing Bank
to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection
with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or
threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or
operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any
Company, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by either Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by either Borrower or any other Loan Party
against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and
nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

          (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrowers for any reason fail to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by
it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, the Issuing
Banks or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof),
the Issuing Banks or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party
hereto or any third party); 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), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), an Issuing Bank 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), the Collateral Agent (or
any sub-agent thereof), an Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of
the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.14.
For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of
the sum of the total LC Exposure, outstanding Loans and Credit-Linked Deposits at the time.

          (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph
(b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or
other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

          (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly (and
in no event later than 10 Business Days) after demand therefor.

-96-

 

          SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by either Borrower or any Lender shall be null and void). Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the other Indemnitees) 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 Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that

     (i) except in the case of any assignment made in connection with the primary
syndication of the Commitment and Loans or Credit-Linked Deposits by the Arranger or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans
at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
(which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable
Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or,
if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall
not be less than $1.0 million, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Parent otherwise consent (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

     (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the
Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender
from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a
non-pro rata basis;

     (iii) in the case of an assignment of any portion of the LC Facility, (A) assignment of
any portion of the LC Facility must include an assignment of an equal portion of such
Lender’s interest in its Credit-Linked Deposit, the LC Loans and participations in LC
Obligations and (B) the Credit-Linked Deposit of the assignor LC Lender shall not be
released, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held
for application (to the extent not already applied) in accordance with this Agreement to
satisfy such assignee’s obligations hereunder; and

     (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

-97-

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of
Parent, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible
Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender
of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

          (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Stamford, Connecticut 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 LC Disbursements owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the
Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent
and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), 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,
either Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks sell participations to any person
(other than a natural person or either Borrower or any of either Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other
obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary.

          Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to
paragraph (e) of this Section, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements of
those Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be enti-

-98-

 

tled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

          (e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Parent’s prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrowers are notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefits of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement 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. In the case of any
Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of either
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its
rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative
of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such
obligations or securities.

          (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 Requirement of 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.

          SECTION 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of
the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of
any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and any that the Agents, the
Issuing Banks or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any
other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and Article X (other than Section
10.12) shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement
Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the

-99-

 

subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, except in each case to the extent otherwise
provided in Section 1.06. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, or such
Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower or any other Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document then due to such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such
other Loan Party are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from
the branch or office holding such deposit or owing such obligations. The rights of each Lender and
each Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender and such Issuing Bank may have. Each Lender and each Issuing
Bank agrees to notify Parent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application.

          SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would
require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

          (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District
Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party
or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

-100-

 

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

          (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process
in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided
for notices (other than telecopier) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner
permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

          SECTION 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Loan Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable Requirements of Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding
directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party
hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented,
expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to
enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been
induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications
in this Section.

          SECTION 10.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction
of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.12 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory authority
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f)
subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party and its obligations or
(iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Lender, (g)
with the consent of either Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than either Borrower. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” shall mean all information received from either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
relating to such Borrower any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank
on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
provided that, in the case of information received from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries after the
Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any
person re-

-101-

 

quired to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord to
its own confidential information.

          SECTION 10.13 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers and the Guarantors, which
information includes the name, address and tax identification number of Borrowers and the
Guarantors and other information regarding Borrowers and the Guarantors that will allow such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrowers and the Guarantors in accordance
with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act
and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 10.14 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts
which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Requirements of Law (collectively, the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          SECTION 10.15 Lender Addendum. Each Lender to become a party to this Agreement on the date hereof
shall do so by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such
Lender, Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 10.16 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of
Law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective
of:

          (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition,
liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;

          (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;

          (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any
of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

          (d) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the
Obligations;

          (e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under
or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

-102-

 

          (f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Loan Parties.

          SECTION 10.17 Joint and Several Obligations. All Loans made and Letters of Credit issued hereunder
are made to or for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in
consideration of the agreement of the other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the
Obligations. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts,
not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several and direct and primary liability
for the full payment when due and performance of all Obligations and for the prompt and full
payment and performance of all of the promises, covenants, representations, and warranties made or
undertaken by each Borrower under the Loan Documents and the Borrowers agree that such liability is
independent of the duties, obligations, and liabilities of each of the joint and several Borrowers.
In furtherance of the foregoing, each Borrower jointly and severally, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders the
full payment and performance when due of all the Obligations.
