shall be adjusted to reflect the pro forma effect of credible synergies between the
operations of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Person or property acquired
in an Acquisition during the applicable period, on the other hand, to the extent set forth in
reasonable detail in a certificate signed by the chief or principle executive officer, chief
financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Parent submitted to the Administrative Agent
and/or the Lenders and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

32

 

     (d) Clarification Regarding Consolidation. For purposes of clarification, in each
instance in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents where the term “consolidated” or
“consolidating” is used, such term refers the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated or
consolidating basis, as applicable, and specifically excludes Columbo and Columbo’s Subsidiaries.

1.04 Rounding.

     Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement
shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the
result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and
rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest
number).

1.05 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

     (a) The Administrative Agent, the applicable Swing Line Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer,
as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for
calculating US Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated
in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and
shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until
the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan
Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided
herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than US Dollars) for purposes of the Loan
Documents shall be such US Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent,
the applicable Swing Line Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as applicable.

     (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or
prepayment of a Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such
as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Borrowing,
conversion, continuation or prepayment or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative
Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such US Dollar
amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded
upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Swing Line Lender or the
applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

1.06 Additional Alternative Currencies.

     (a) The Parent may from time to time request that Revolving Loans and/or US Swing Line Loans
be made, and/or Letters of Credit be issued, in a currency other than those specifically listed in
the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful
currency (other than US Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible
into US Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Revolving Loans,
such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; in the
case of any such request with respect to the making of US Swing Line Loans, such request shall be
subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the US Swing Line Lender; and in the case
of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be
subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers.

     (b) Any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent
not later than 11:00 a.m., twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit
Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent). Any such
request pertaining to US Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be made to the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit
Extension (or such

33

 

other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent). In the case of any such request
pertaining to Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof;
in the case of any such request pertaining to US Swing Line Loans, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the US Swing Line Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to
Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuers thereof. Each
Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans), the US Swing Line Lender
(in the case of any such request pertaining to US Swing Line Loans) or the L/C Issuers (in the case
of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole
discretion, to the making of Revolving Loans, the making of US Swing Line Loans or the issuance of
Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

     (c) Any failure by a Lender, the US Swing Line Lender or a L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to
respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding Section shall be deemed
to be a refusal by such Lender, the US Swing Line Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to
permit Revolving Loans or US Swing Line Loans to be made, or Letters of Credit to be issued by such
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all
the Lenders consent to making Revolving Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent
shall so notify the Parent and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an
Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Revolving Loans; if the
Administrative Agent and the US Swing Line Lender consent to the making of US Swing Line Loans in
such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Parent and such currency
shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of
any Borrowings of US Swing Line Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and any L/C Issuer consent
to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so
notify the Parent and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative
Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by the L/C Issuer that consented
to such currency (but shall not be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Letter of Credit
issued by any L/C Issuer that did not consent to such currency). If the Administrative Agent shall
fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.06,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent. Any specified currency of an Existing
Letter of Credit that is neither US Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically
listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with
respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.

1.07 Change of Currency.

     (a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency
unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after
the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with
the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of
accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent
with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest
in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with
effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency;
provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding
immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing,
at the end of the then current Interest Period.

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

34

 

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

1.08 Times of Day.

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

1.09 Letter of Credit Amounts.

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

ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01 Revolving Loans.

     (a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each
Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrowers
in US Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time on any Business Day during
the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of
such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to
any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of
any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; and provided
further that the availability of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments at any time shall be
reduced by the amount of the Foreign Swing Line Facility Reserve. Within the limits of each
Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers
may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under
this Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as
further provided herein.

     (b) Increase in Revolving Commitments. The Parent may at any time and from time to
time, upon prior written notice by the Parent to the Administrative Agent, increase the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments by up to SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS (US$75,000,000) with additional
Revolving Commitments from any existing Lender or new Revolving Commitments from any other Person
selected by the Parent and approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion;
provided that:

     (i) no Default shall be continuing at the time of any such increase;

35

 

     (ii) no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its Revolving
Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Revolving Commitment shall be in
such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion;

     (iii) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of US$5 million and in
integral multiples of US$5 million in excess thereof;

     (iv) the Parent shall be permitted to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
under this Section on no more than three separate occasions;

     (v) any new Lender shall join this Agreement by executing such joinder documents
required by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion;

     (vi) the Loan Parties will provide such supporting resolutions, legal opinions and
other items as the Administrative Agent may request in its reasonable discretion;

     (vii) if any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the
Borrowers shall make such payments and adjustments on the Revolving Loans (including any
breakage or other amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.05) as may be necessary to
give effect to the revised Applicable Percentages; and

     (viii) if the Indebtedness (or the commitment to extend Indebtedness) under the Bright
India Loan Documents is increased to an amount in excess of $10 million, then the amount by
which the Parent is permitted to increase the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.01(b) shall be decreased by the amount of such excess.

     In connection with any such increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the
Administrative Agent shall revise Schedule 2.01 to reflect the new Revolving Commitments
and Applicable Percentages and shall distribute such revised Schedule to the Lenders.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans.

     (a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the
other, and each continuation of Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon
the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of, Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in US Dollars or of any conversion of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in US Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or
five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date
of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies
and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the
applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery
to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of US$2,500,000 or
a whole multiple of US$500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c),
2.04(c) and 2.05(c), each Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or
conversion of Revolving Loans to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of US$250,000 or a
whole multiple of US$250,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written)
shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of

36

 

Revolving Loans, a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation
of Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing,
conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal
amount of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Loans
to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the
duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (vi) the currency of the Revolving Loans
to be borrowed. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting
a Borrowing, then the Revolving Loans so requested shall be made in US Dollars. If the applicable
Borrower fails to specify a Type of a Revolving Loan in a Loan Notice, then the applicable
Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans in the case of a request for a Revolving Loan
denominated in US Dollars or as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month in
the case of a request for a Revolving Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency. If the
applicable Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans; provided,
however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Revolving Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Revolving Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency
Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any such automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be effective as of
the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate
Loans. If the applicable Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Revolving Loan may be converted into
or continued as a Revolving Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid
in the original currency of such Revolving Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

     (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans or continuation of Revolving Loans denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, in
each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall
make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at
the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case
of any Revolving Loan denominated in US Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified
by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Revolving Loan denominated in an Alternative
Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of
America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by
the applicable Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding in the same currency as the requested
Borrowing, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of
any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as
provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the
existence of a Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into US
Dollars in the amount of the US Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto.

37

 

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

     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 10 Interest
Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans.

2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

     (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees,
in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1)
from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars or in
one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of any Borrower or any Subsidiary, and to
amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b)
below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally
agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C
Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Revolving Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed
the Letter of Credit Sublimit; and provided further that the availability of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments at any time shall be reduced by the amount of the
Foreign Swing Line Facility Reserve. Each request by any Borrower for the issuance or
amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by such Borrower that
the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the provisos
to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully
revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of
Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant
hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms
and conditions hereof.

     (ii) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or
last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

38

 

     (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry
date.

     (iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

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

     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer,
such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than US$100,000;

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

     (E) such L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter
of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency;

     (F) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement
of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

     (G) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c)
exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C
Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the other Lenders, the Loan
Parties or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such
Lender.

     (iv) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be
permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
hereof.

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

     (vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have
all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article
X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection
with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents
pertaining to such Letters of

39

 

Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X
included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

     (vii) Subject to the discretion permitted to the L/C Issuers under Section 7.02 of the
ISP, or under the analogous rules, if any, of the Uniform Customs and Practice for

following its receipt from the beneficiary thereof of its consent to such cancellation, and
shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower of such receipt and such cancellation.

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

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of a Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application
must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days (or such later date and time as the
Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case
may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter
of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C
Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) if such Letter of
Credit is to be issued for the account of a Subsidiary for such Borrower, the name of such
Subsidiary; (H) if such Letter of Credit is to state a specific date for presentation in the
event the last day for presentation at the place for presentation stated in such Letter of
Credit is for any reason closed and (I) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may
require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the
applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of
amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment;
and (D) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the
applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance
or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent may require.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the
applicable Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative
Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice
from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior
to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one
or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not be satisfied, then,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or the
applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each
case in accordance with the applicable L/C

40

 

Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

     (iii) If the applicable Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to
issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at
least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter
of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
“Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at
the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C
Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the
applicable L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the
applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an
expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A)
the applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended)
under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section
2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice
Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit
such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Parent that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied,
and in each case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

     (iv) If the applicable Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will state in the applicable Letter of Credit that if
on the last day for presentation the place for presentation stated in such Letter of Credit
is for any reason closed and presentation is not timely made because of the closure, then
the last day for presentation shall automatically be extended to the next calendar day (or
such other day as the applicable Borrower may request) after the place for presentation
re-opens for business.

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

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower
and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an
Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in
such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the applicable L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have
specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in US Dollars, or (B) in the
absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in US Dollars, the applicable Borrower
shall have notified the applicable L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of
drawing that the applicable

41

 

Borrower will reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in US Dollars. In the case of any such
reimbursement in US Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an
Alternative Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable Borrower of the
US Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination
thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer
under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in US Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date
of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an
Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower
shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount
equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. If the applicable
Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed
drawing (expressed in US Dollars in the amount of the US Dollar Equivalent thereof in the
case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event,
the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Revolving Loans in
US Dollars that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to
the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and
provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall
not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the applicable L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given
by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

     (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in
US Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for US Dollar-denominated payments in an
amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00
p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon,
subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the
applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so
received to the applicable L/C Issuer in US Dollars.

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower
shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the
amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in
respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from
such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

     (iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under
any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.

42

 

     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by
any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the applicable L/C Issuer, the Parent, any Subsidiary or
any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default,
or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make
Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Loan
Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest
as provided herein.

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for
the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing
or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection with the
foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant
Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A
certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment
in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed
Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the
Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in US
Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned
under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the
date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

43

 

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

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

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Parent or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

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

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

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

     (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Parent or any Subsidiary.

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

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Loan Parties agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by
such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the
applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender
for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of
the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or

44

 

(iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Loan Parties hereby assume all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude any Loan Party from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against
the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C
Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the
matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided,
however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Loan Parties
may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to
the Loan Parties, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential
or exemplary, damages suffered by the Loan Parties which the Loan Parties prove were caused by the
applicable L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the applicable L/C Issuer’s
willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary
of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may
accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the applicable L/C
Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective
for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if, as of the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (A) each
Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (or a Subsidiary
of such Borrower). The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the
initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to
protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations. Sections 2.06 and
9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.
Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of
America, and any such accrued interest shall be paid to the applicable Borrower with such frequency
as the Administrative Agent and such Borrower may agree between one another, but in any event not
less than once each calendar quarter.

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

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in US Dollars, a Letter of
Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of
such Borrower (or a Subsidiary of such Borrower) equal to the Applicable Rate times the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the
daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit
shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i)
due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit
and on the Maturity Date and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change
in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter
of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period

45

 

during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. Each
Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account, in US Dollars, (i) a fronting
fee with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for the account of
such Borrower (or a Subsidiary of such Borrower), at the rate specified in the Fee Letter, computed
on the US Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance
thereof, (ii) a fronting fee with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit issued
by such L/C Issuer for the account of such Borrower (or a Subsidiary of such Borrower) increasing
the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between such Borrower and the
applicable L/C Issuer, computed on the US Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such increase, and
payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) a fronting fee with respect to each
standby Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer for the account of such Borrower (or a
Subsidiary of such Borrower), at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the US
Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and on a
quarterly basis in arrears and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June,
September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof,
in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance
of such Letter of Credit and on the Maturity Date. For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be
determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, each Borrower shall pay directly
to the the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in US Dollars, the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such
L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

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

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

2.04 US Swing Line Loans.

     (a) US Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
US Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “US Swing Line Loan”) to the
Borrowers in US Dollars or, if an Alternative Currency is not available for Borrowings of Revolving
Loans but is available for Borrowings of US Swing Line Loans, such Alternative Currency, from time
to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at
any time outstanding the amount of the US Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such
US Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of
Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as US Swing Line Lender,
may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any US Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable

46

 

Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that (i) the Borrowers shall
not use the proceeds of any US Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding US Swing Line Loan; and
(ii) the availability of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments at any time shall be reduced by the
amount of the Foreign Swing Line Facility Reserve. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay
under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. US Swing Line Loans
denominated in US Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans. US Swing Line Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Immediately upon the making of a US Swing Line Loan
by the US Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the US Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such US
Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
times the amount of such US Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures.

     (i) Each Borrowing of US Swing Line Loans and each continuation of US Swing Line Loans
that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable
notice to the US Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the US Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than (A) 11:00 a.m. four Business Days (or five Business Days
in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing or continuation of US Swing Line Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies
(which shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans) and (B) 3:00 p.m. on the requested date of any
Borrowing of US Swing Line Loans denominated in US Dollars (which shall be Base Rate Loans).
Each telephonic notice by the applicable Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the US Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent
of a written US Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of such Borrower. Each Borrowing of or continuation of US Swing Line Loans that are
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of US$200,000 or a whole multiple of
US$50,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of US Swing Line Loans that are Base Rate Loans
shall be in a principal amount of US$200,000 or a whole multiple of US$50,000 in excess
thereof. Each such notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether the
applicable Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of US Swing Line Loans or a continuation of US
Swing Line Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (B) the requested date of the Borrowing
or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal
amount of US Swing Line Loans to be borrowed or continued, (D) the Type of US Swing Line
Loans to be borrowed or to which existing US Swing Line Loans are to be converted, (E) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (F) the currency
of the US Swing Line Loans to be borrowed. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a
currency in a US Swing Line Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing of US Swing Line Loans, then
the US Swing Line Loans so requested shall be made in US Dollars. If the applicable
Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in a US Swing Line Loan Notice for a US Swing
Line Loan to be denominated in Alternative Currency, then the applicable US Swing Line Loans
shall be made as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month. If the
applicable Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of a US Swing
Line Loan, then at the end of the Interest Period for the applicable US Swing Line Loan such
US Swing Line Loan shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan in its original currency
with an Interest Period of one month. No US Swing Line Loan may be converted into or
continued as a US Swing Line Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be
prepaid in the original currency of such US Swing Line Loan and reborrowed in the other
currency.

47

 

     (ii) Promptly after receipt by the US Swing Line Lender of any telephonic US Swing Line
Loan Notice, the US Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such US Swing Line
Loan Notice and, if not, the US Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the US Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the
request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of US Swing
Line Loans (A) directing the US Swing Line Lender not to make such US Swing Line Loan as a
result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article
V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the US Swing
Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such US Swing
Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its US Swing Line Loan available to the applicable
Borrower either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of
America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in
accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the US Swing Line
Lender by the applicable Borrower.

     (iii) Except as otherwise provided herein, a US Swing Line Loan that is Eurocurrency
Rate Loan may be continued only on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto.
During the existence of a Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the
then outstanding US Swing Line Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid.

     (c) Refinancing of US Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The US Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the US
Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Loan that
is Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the US Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of any US Swing Line Loan then outstanding. Such request shall be
made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to
the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a
Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The US Swing Line Lender
shall furnish the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount
in US Dollars equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice
available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the US Swing Line
Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for US Dollar-denominated deposits not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section
2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the US Swing Line Lender in US
Dollars.

     (ii) If for any reason any US Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing
of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate
Loans submitted by the US Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a
request by the US Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in
the relevant US Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of

48

 

the US Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the US Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the US Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for
the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the US Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing
or similar fees customarily charged by the US Swing Line Lender in connection with the
foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant
Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant US Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the US Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in US Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against
the US Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B)
the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent to repay US
Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

     (ii) If any payment received by the US Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any US Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the US Swing Line Lender
under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the US Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the US Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the US Swing Line Lender.
The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of US Swing Line Lender. The US Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the US Swing Line Loans. Until
each Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 

49

 

2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any US Swing Line Loan,
interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the US Swing
Line Lender.

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

2.05 Foreign Swing Line Loans.

     (a) Foreign Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Foreign Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.05, to make loans (each such loan, an “Foreign Swing Line
Loan”) to Bright Australia in Australian Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during
the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of
the Foreign Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Foreign Swing Line Loans, when
aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line
Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Foreign Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount
of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect
to any Foreign Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any
Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; and (ii) the availability of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments at any time shall be reduced by the amount of the Foreign Swing
Line Facility Reserve. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, Bright Australia may borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay under Section
2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Foreign Swing Line Loans shall be BBR Rate
Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Foreign Swing Line Loan by the Foreign Swing Line Lender,
each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the Foreign Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Foreign Swing Line Loan in an amount
equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
Foreign Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures.

     (i) Each Borrowing of Foreign Swing Line Loans and each continuation of Foreign Swing
Line Loans shall be made upon Bright Australia’s irrevocable notice to the Foreign Swing
Line Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Foreign Swing Line Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Sydney, Australia time) on the Business
Day of the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Foreign Swing Line Loans.
Each telephonic notice by Bright Australia pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Foreign Swing Line Lender of a written Foreign Swing
Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Bright
Australia. Each Borrowing of or continuation of Foreign Swing Line Loans shall be in a
principal amount of AUS$200,000 or a whole multiple of AUS$50,000 in excess thereof (or such
lesser amounts as the Foreign Swing Line Lender may agree). Each such notice (whether
telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether Bright Australia is requesting a Borrowing
of Foreign Swing Line Loans or a continuation of Foreign Swing Line Loans, (B) the requested
date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day),
and (C) the principal amount of Foreign Swing Line Loans to be borrowed or continued.

     (ii) Unless the Foreign Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in
writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to
3:00 p.m. (Sydney, Australia time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Foreign Swing
Line Loans (A)

50

 

directing the Foreign Swing Line Lender not to make such Foreign Swing Line Loan as a
result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.05(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article
V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Foreign
Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Sydney, Australia time) on the borrowing
date specified in such Foreign Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Foreign Swing
Line Loan available to Bright Australia either by (i) crediting the account of Bright
Australia on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire
transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) the Foreign Swing Line Lender by Bright Australia.

     (c) Refinancing of Foreign Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Foreign Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of Bright Australia (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Foreign
Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Loan that
is Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the US Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of any Foreign Swing Line Loan then outstanding. Such request
shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for
purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate
Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the
delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect to such Borrowing, the
Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The
Foreign Swing Line Lender shall furnish Bright Australia with a copy of the applicable Loan
Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall
make an amount in US Dollars equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in
such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of
the Foreign Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for US Dollar-denominated
deposits not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to Bright Australia in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Foreign Swing
Line Lender in US Dollars.

     (ii) If for any reason any Foreign Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for
Base Rate Loans submitted by the Foreign Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be
deemed to be a request by the Foreign Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its
risk participation in the relevant Foreign Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Foreign Swing Line Lender pursuant to
Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Foreign Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.05(c)(i), the Foreign Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from
such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest
thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to the Foreign Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal
to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Foreign Swing Line Lender in
connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving

51

 

Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Foreign
Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Foreign Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Foreign Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against
the Foreign Swing Line Lender, Bright Australia or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence,
event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of
Bright Australia to repay Foreign Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided
herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

     (ii) If any payment received by the Foreign Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Foreign Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Foreign Swing
Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Foreign Swing Line Lender in its discretion),
each Lender shall pay to the Foreign Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Foreign Swing
Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Foreign Swing Line Lender. The Foreign Swing Line Lender
shall be responsible for invoicing Bright Australia for interest on the Foreign Swing Line Loans.
Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant
to this Section 2.05 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Foreign Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the
Foreign Swing Line Lender.

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

     (g) Increase or Decrease in Foreign Swing Line Sublimit. The Parent may, at its
option, elect to increase or decrease the Foreign Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i)
the Parent shall give three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of
such election; (ii) the Foreign Swing Line Sublimit shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments; and (iii) after giving effect thereto, the amount of the Foreign Swing Line
Sublimit shall not exceed US$15 million.

52

 

2.06 Prepayments.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

     (i) Revolving Loans. Each Borrower may, upon notice from such Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior
to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in US Dollars, (2) four
Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice
Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies and (3) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (B) any such
prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of US$2,500,000 or a
whole multiple of US$500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount
thereof then outstanding); and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of US$250,000 or a whole multiple of US$250,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date
and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Revolving Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice,
and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice
is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

     (ii) US Swing Line Loans. Each Borrower may, upon notice by such Borrower to
the US Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time
to time, voluntarily prepay US Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or
penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the US Swing Line Lender
and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) four Business Days (or five, in the
case of prepayment of US Swing Line Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to
any date of prepayment of US Swing Line Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and (2)
on the date of prepayment of any US Swing Line Loans denominated in US Dollars; (B) any
prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of US$200,000 or a
whole multiple of US$50,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount
thereof then outstanding); and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of US$200,000 or a whole multiple of US$50,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date
and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of US Swing Line Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. If such
notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05.

     (iii) Foreign Swing Line Loans. Bright Australia may, upon notice to the
Foreign Swing Line Lender, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Foreign
Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A)
such notice must be

53

 

received by the Foreign Swing Line Lender not later than 12:00 noon (Sydney, Australia
time) on the date of prepayment; and (B) any prepayment shall be in a principal amount of
AUS$200,000 or a whole multiple of AUS$50,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire
principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment of Foreign Swing Line Loans to be prepaid and the Interest
Period(s) of such Loans. If such notice is given by Bright Australia, Bright Australia
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Foreign Swing Line Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent
at any time that the Total Revolving Outstandings at such time exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments then in effect (and, in the case of any such excess resulting from exchange rate
fluctuations, such excess continues for a period of three (3) consecutive Business Days), then,
within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding
Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(g), the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(i) unless after the prepayment in full of the
Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.
Within the parameters of the applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to
Base Rate Loans and then to Eurocurrency Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.
All prepayments under this Section 2.06(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but
otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount
prepaid through the date of prepayment.

2.07 Optional Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

     The Parent may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 12:00 noon five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such
partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of US$5,000,000 or any whole multiple of
US$1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Parent shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder,
the Total Revolving Outstandings plus the Foreign Swing Line Facility Reserve would exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the US Swing Line Sublimit or the Foreign
Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall
be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments. The amount of any such Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction shall not be applied
to the Letter of Credit Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Parent.  Any
reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of
each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued with respect thereto until
the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.

2.08 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) Revolving Loans. Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date
the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made to such Borrower outstanding on such
date.

54

 

     (b) Swing Line Loans. Each Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan made to such
Borrower on (i) in the case of any US Swing Line Loan denominated in US Dollars, the earlier to
occur of (A) the date ten Business Days after such US Swing Line Loan is made and (B) the Maturity
Date, (ii) in the case of any US Swing Line Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the
Maturity Date and (iii) in the case of any Foreign Swing Line Loan, the Maturity Date.

     2.09 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Revolving Loan that is a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each
Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of
any Lender which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member
State) the Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each US Swing Line Loan denominated
in US Dollars shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate
less five (5) basis points; (iv) each US Swing Line Loan denominated in an Alternative
Currency shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Rate less five (5) basis points plus (in the case of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating
Member State) the Mandatory Cost; and (v) each Foreign Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum
of the BBR Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate less five (5)
basis points.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any
Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
principal amount of all outstanding Credit Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

55

 

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

2.10 Fees.

     In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03:

     (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee in
US Dollars equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate times (ii) the actual
daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (without reduction for the Foreign
Swing Line Facility Reserve) exceed the sum of (y) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans
and (z) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all
times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the
Availability Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if
there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall
be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such
quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of clarification, Swing Line
Loans shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

     (b) Fee Letter. The Parent shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts, in US Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times
specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees.

     All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of
America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of
a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect
of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the
foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day
on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on
which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.12 Evidence of Debt.

     (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of
business.

56

 

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrowers made through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to
such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall be in the form of Exhibit
2.12-1, in the case of the Domestic Borrowers, and Exhibit 2.12-2, in the case of the
Foreign Borrowers (each a “Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and
endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and
payments with respect thereto.

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

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

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans,

57

 

prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender
has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section
2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share
of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment
to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to
the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for
such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included
in such Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

     (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be

58

 

responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

     (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.

2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

     (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment
made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or
(B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent or any Subsidiary (as to
which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

     Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against 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.

2.15 Matters Relating to Borrowers.

     (a) Joint and Several Liability of Domestic Borrowers.

     (i) Each Domestic Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable with the other
Borrowers for all Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Credit
Extensions or the amount of such Credit Extensions received or the manner in which the
Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Credit Extensions on its books and
records. Each Domestic Borrower’s obligations with respect to Credit Extensions made to it,
and each Domestic Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several
liability of such Borrower with the other Borrowers with respect to Credit Extensions made
to and other Obligations owing by the other Borrowers, shall be separate and distinct
obligations, but all such obligations shall be primary obligations of each Borrower.

59

 

     (ii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of
the Loan Documents, the obligations of each Domestic Borrower in its capacity as a joint and
several obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject
to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable
Law.

     (iii) Each Domestic Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several
liability of such Domestic Borrower with the other Borrowers with respect to Credit
Extensions made to and other Obligations owing by the other Borrowers shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (A) the validity or
enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the obligations of any other Borrower or any
other Loan Party or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of
the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Loan Party, (B) the absence of any
attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower or any other Loan Party or any
other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (C) the
waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the
obligations of any other Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any part thereof, or any other
agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower or any other Loan Party and
delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (D) the failure by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or
to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the obligations of any other
Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (E) any other circumstances which might constitute a
legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower or any other
Loan Party. With respect to each Domestic Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the
joint and several liability of such Domestic Borrower with the other Borrowers with respect
to Credit Extensions made to the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower subordinates, and
agrees not to exercise, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Commitments
shall have terminated and this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been
terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which the
Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower, any
endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any
right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     (iv) At any time the Administrative Agent may take any of the actions described in
Section 9.02 in accordance with the terms thereof, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Domestic Borrower to
collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of, the Obligations, without first
proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or
collateral for the Obligations. Each Domestic Borrower consents and agrees that the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

     (b) Liability of Foreign Borrowers. Each Foreign Borrower shall be liable only for
the Foreign Obligations incurred by such Foreign Borrower. No Foreign Borrower shall be liable for
the Foreign Obligations incurred by any other Foreign Borrower.

     (c) Designation of Additional Borrowers. The Parent may at any time, upon not less
than fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice from the Parent to the Administrative Agent (or such
shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any
Domestic Subsidiary as a Domestic Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Borrower,
provided that:

60

 

     (i) in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary:

     (A) such Foreign Subsidiary is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent;

     (B) each Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that (1) such Lender is
able to extend credit to such Foreign Subsidiary without violating any applicable
Law, any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority, any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
or arbitrator or any policies of such Lender and (2) extending credit to such
Foreign Subsidiary will not impose upon such Lender any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement or any loss, cost or expense (for which the Lender is not
otherwise compensated hereunder); and

     (C) if such Foreign Subsidiary has any outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Debt,
(including any Guarantee with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary Debt) and has
granted a Lien in any of its property to secure such Foreign Subsidiary Debt or
Guarantee (or in either case any effective but unused commitments for Foreign
Subsidiary Debt), then each lender holding such Foreign Subsidiary Debt (or
commitments) (other than any lender holding Indebtedness under the Bright India Loan
Documents) shall have entered into an intercreditor agreement with the
Administrative Agent subordinating such lender’s Liens to the Liens arising under
the Loan Documents on terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit 2.15(c)-3
(with such changes thereto as the Administrative Agent may agree);

     (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall have delivered to the
Administrative Agent (A) a Designated Borrower Agreement duly executed by such Subsidiary
and the Parent, (B) documents of the type described in Section 5.01(e) and
(f) for such Subsidiary, (C) an opinion of counsel to such Subsidiary in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (D) such other documents,
agreements and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order for
such Subsidiary to comply with Section 7.14, all in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (E) such other documents, agreements and
instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

     Upon satisfaction of each of the foregoing requirements, the Administrative Agent shall send a
notice to the Parent and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which such Subsidiary shall
constitute a Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Loan Parties and the Lenders
agrees that such Subsidiary shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement;
provided that no Loan Notice or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by such
Subsidiary until the date five Business Days after such effective date.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 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
any Loan Party shall

61

 

be required by applicable 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 L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party
shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuers, 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) for which the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, is liable 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 a Borrower by a Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or a L/C Issuer,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

     (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for
tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
the Parent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Parent or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes
in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Parent 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 the Parent 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 copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

62

 

     (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

     (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to
the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable
Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue
Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

     (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

     Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain
forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each
Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Parent, as the Administrative
Agent or the Parent shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely
fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities
under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are
required under such Laws to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender
outside of the United States by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish
such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall
promptly (i) notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or
render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement
of applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for
taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall promptly
deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such
documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction,
duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with
respect to such jurisdiction.

3.02 Illegality.

     If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain
or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or
to take deposits of, US Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market,
then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or
currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in US Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt
of such notice, each Borrower shall, upon demand from

63

 

such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans
are denominated in US Dollars, convert to Base Rate Loans, all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such
Lender to such Borrower, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

     If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in US
Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore
interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency
Rate Loan (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or (c) the Eurocurrency
Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan,
the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or
currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, each Borrower may revoke any pending
request by such Borrower for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted
such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs.

     (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 (A) any reserve requirement
reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the
Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost,
other than as set forth below) or any L/C Issuer;

     (ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BBR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of
payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the
rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer);

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

64

 

     (iv) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the applicable interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BBR
Rate 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 Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BBR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer
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 L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C
Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or a L/C Issuer setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to
the Parent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower will pay such Lender
or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or such L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies the Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 nine-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

     Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, each
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

65

 

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan
by such Borrower on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan
(whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

     (b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date
or in the amount notified by such Borrower; or

     (c) any failure by such Borrower to make payment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or
drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative
Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange
contract (but excluding any loss of anticipated profits). The applicable Borrower shall also pay
any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to the Lenders under this
Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made
by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a
matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank eurodollar market for such currency
for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was
in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If the Borrower is required to pay the
Mandatory Cost to any Lender, any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, any
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or any Lender gives a notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, 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 the Mandatory Cost or amounts payable
pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate
the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case,
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Parent
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.07 Survival.

     All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

66

 

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTY

4.01 The Guaranty.

     Each of the Domestic Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Administrative
Agent and each of the holders of the Obligations as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and
not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity,
as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise)
strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Domestic Guarantors hereby further agree that
if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Domestic
Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the
Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a
mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, the obligations of each Domestic
Guarantor (in its capacity as such) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations
subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable
Law.

4.02 Obligations Unconditional.

     (a) The obligations of the Domestic Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity
or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or

agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole
or in part or otherwise dealt with;

     (iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any holder of
Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected;

Guarantor); or

other event affecting any term of any Obligation or any Lender’s rights with respect
thereto.

     (c) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Domestic Guarantor hereby expressly waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement
that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy
or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other documents relating to
the Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or against any other
Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.03 Reinstatement.

     The obligations of each Domestic Guarantor under this Article IV shall be

any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder
of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each
Domestic Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each holder of the
Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder of the Obligations in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in
defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent
transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.

     Each Domestic Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be
enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any
other security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take
recourse against any Borrower hereunder or against any collateral securing the Obligations or
otherwise, and (b) it will not assert any right to require that action first be taken against any
Borrower or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or
enforcement any other right, and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being
taken against any Borrower hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or the other documents and
agreements relating to the Obligations or, foreclosure on any security or collateral interests
relating hereto or thereto, or the exercise of any other rights or remedies available in respect
thereof, if neither the Borrowers nor the Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and
the exercise of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not
constitute a discharge of the Domestic Guarantors’ obligations hereunder unless as a result
thereof, the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall
have expired or terminated, it being the purpose and intent that the Domestic Guarantors’
obligations hereunder be

68

Guarantor agrees that such Domestic Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the
Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation in accordance with to Section

Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such
declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the
Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Domestic Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Domestic Guarantors
acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of
the Collateral Documents and that the holders of the Obligations may exercise their remedies
thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.06 Rights of Contribution.

made hereunder, each Domestic Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Domestic
Guarantor in accordance with applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been
irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been
terminated, and none of the Domestic Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until
the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments shall have expired or been
terminated.

4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

     The guarantee given by the Domestic Guarantors in this Article IV is a guaranty of
payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations
whenever arising.

certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive
material non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). The Parent hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be
made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a

Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Parent or its

obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

     (c) Following the occurrence and during the existence of any Event of Default, upon the
reasonable written request of the Administrative Agent if any event or the discovery of any
condition which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders reasonably believe has caused (or

Administrative Agent, at the Loan Parties’ expense, a report of

83

 

an environmental assessment of reasonable scope, form and depth, (including, where
appropriate, invasive soil or groundwater sampling) by a consultant reasonably acceptable to the

Joinder Agreement or such other documents as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate
for such purpose, and (B) upon the request of the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent such Organization Documents, resolutions and

upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, elect to terminate its guarantee; provided
that if such Foreign Subsidiary at any time thereafter becomes a Material Foreign Subsidiary it
shall be required to comply with Section 7.12(b).

     (c) If any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor provides a Guarantee in respect of any

parent and (2) could not reasonably be expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of
the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg.

Agent.

(other than Excluded Property) of the Domestic Loan Parties and the Foreign Borrowers to be subject

Domestic Loan Party, the Obligations (including the Foreign Obligations), and in the case of each

or thereunder, (ii) as may be expressly agreed after the Closing Date by the Required
Lenders or (iii) upon satisfaction in full of all the Credit Obligations), ceases to be in
full force and effect; or any Loan Party or any other Person Controlled by the Parent
contests in any manner the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; or any Loan
Party denies that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or
purports to revoke, terminate or rescind any Loan Document; or

     (k) Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control; or

     (l) Subordinated Indebtedness.

     (i) any of the Obligations for any reason shall fail to be “Senior Debt” (or
any comparable term) under, and as defined in, any Subordinated Indebtedness
Document;

97

 

     (ii) any Indebtedness other than the Obligations shall constitute “Designated
Senior Debt” (or any comparable term) under, and as defined in, any Subordinated
Indebtedness Document unless the Administrative Agent shall have otherwise agreed;
or

     (iii) the subordination provisions in the documentation for any Subordinated
Indebtedness shall, in whole or in part, terminate, cease to be effective or cease
to be legally valid, binding and enforceable against any holder of such Subordinated
Indebtedness; or

     (m) Intercreditor Agreements. Any Intercreditor Agreement, at any time after
its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or
the satisfaction in full of all Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect or is
determined by any Governmental Authority or arbitral entity having jurisdiction to be void,
unenforceable or otherwise not in full force and effect, in whole or in part, for any
reason.

9.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

     If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following
actions:

     (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C
Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and
obligation shall be terminated;

     (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other

     (c) require that each Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations relating to each
Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (or a Subsidiary of such Borrower)
in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof; and

remedies available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under the Loan Documents;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to any Domestic Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States or any Foreign Borrower under applicable Debtor Relief Laws, the obligation of each Lender
to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall
automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and
other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of each
Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations relating to each Letter of Credit issued for the
account of such Borrower (or a Subsidiary of such Borrower) as aforesaid shall automatically become
effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

9.03 Application of Funds.

     After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been
required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02),

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authority.

     Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and no Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

     The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable) and a L/C Issuer (if applicable)) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the
Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for and to enter into any “Parallel Debt” as
defined in the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law) such Lender and such L/C Issuer for
purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the
Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are
reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent”
and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any
portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all
provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as
though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.02 Rights as a Lender.

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

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

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

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

101

 

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

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

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, a Lender or a L/C Issuer.

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

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

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

102

 

10.05 Delegation of Duties.

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

10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
L/C Issuers and the Parent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the 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 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the 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 (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). The fees payable by the Parent to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent and such successor.
After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit
of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

103

 

or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the
obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

     Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own 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.

10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers,
syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or a L/C Issuer hereunder.

10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

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

          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations arising under
the Loan Documents that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and
their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the applicable
L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j),
2.10 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make
such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.10 and 11.04.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,

104

 

arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender
or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any
Lender or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

     The Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its discretion,

          (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and
payment in full of all Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is
transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in
particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10.

Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has
notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices

     (c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR
THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE
BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its
Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party,
any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no
event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any
other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages).

     (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuers, the US Swing Line Lender and the Foreign Swing Line Lender may change its address,
telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the
other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Parent, the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to
which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such
Lender.

     (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including telephonic Loan Notices, US Swing Line Loan Notices and Foreign Swing Line Notices)
purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a
manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer,
each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on
behalf of a Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto
hereby consents to such recording.

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

     No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

108

 

11.04 Expenses; Indemnity; and Damage Waiver.

     (a) Costs and Expenses. The Loan Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent),
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and

any Lender or any L/C Issuer (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and
disbursements of any outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer) 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.

     (b) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Domestic Loan Parties and, subject to
clause (e) below, the Foreign Borrowers, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each L/C Issuer, 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) (collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by
any third party or by any Loan 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 agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related
Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any
L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it 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 of Hazardous Materials on or from any
property owned or operated by the Parent or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related
in any way to the Parent or any Subsidiary, 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 any 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 any Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if 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 the Loan Parties for any reason fail
to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by
them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of
any of the

109

 

foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer in its capacity as
such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders
under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable 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 subsection (b) above shall be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual
damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined
by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

     (e) Limitation On Indemnity by Foreign Borrowers. Each Foreign Borrower shall be
liable only for the Indemnified Liabilities incurred by such Foreign Borrower. No Foreign Borrower
shall be liable for the Indemnified Liabilities incurred by any other Foreign Borrower.

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

     (g) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, a L/C Issuer, a Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.

11.05 Payments Set Aside.

     To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or
such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of
such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not
occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time
in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders
and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

110

 

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other
attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the
extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

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

          (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less
than US$5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to
an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; and

          (C) the value of the rights assigned or transferred must at least be EUR 50,000
(or its equivalent in other currencies) or, if the value is lower, the assignee or
transferee qualifies as a professional market party under the terms of the Dutch
Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht).

111

 

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

          (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving
Loans and Revolving Commitments.

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

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

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such

112

 

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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to
facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request,
each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this
Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Parent or any of the Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i)
such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in
clauses (i) through (viii) of the Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject
to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

     (e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the 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 3.01 unless the Parent is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

113

 

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

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

     (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer, US Swing Line Lender or Foreign Swing Line Lender after
Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of
America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America
may, (i) upon thirty days’ notice to the Parent and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii)
upon thirty days’ notice to the Parent, resign as US Swing Line Lender and/or (iii) upon thirty
days’ notice to the Parent, resign as Foreign Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer, US Swing Line Lender or Foreign Swing Line Lender, the Parent shall be
entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer, US Swing Line Lender or Foreign
Swing Line Lender, as the case may be; provided, however, that no failure by the
Parent to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer,
US Swing Line Lender or Foreign Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns
as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective
date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the
right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as US Swing Line Lender,
it shall retain all the rights of the US Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to
US Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in
outstanding US Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). If Bank of America resigns as
Foreign Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Foreign Swing Line Lender provided
for hereunder with respect to Foreign Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Foreign Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section
2.05(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, US Swing Line Lender and/or Foreign
Swing Line Lender, (1) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, US Swing Line Lender or Foreign Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be, and (2) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make
other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of
America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and representatives and to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) under any Swap Contract
relating to Loans outstanding under this

114

 

Agreement (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 regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) 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 or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Loan
Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent 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 L/C Issuer or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent.

     For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan
Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any
Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent or a Subsidiary, as
the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

11.08 Set-off.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable 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, such L/C Issuer or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C
Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of
such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender
and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the 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.

115

 

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Parent. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Credit Obligations.

11.10 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 subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Except as provided in Section 5.01, 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
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

     All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Credit Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.

11.12 Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders.

     If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) any Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender

116

 

pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does
not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.01 but
requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable)
and, or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the 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 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

     (a) the Parent shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified
in Section 11.06(b);

     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any
amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower(s) (in the case of all
other amounts);

     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

     (e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure
to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such
Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair
the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of
such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless
be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and
Assumption.

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

11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

     (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY

OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY L/C
ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE 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

THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

11.15 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

     EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
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 OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

     In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each
acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related
arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial
transaction between the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent and the
Arranger, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and

118

 

understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction,
the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is
not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their respective
Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
or the Arranger has advised or is currently advising any of the Loan Parties or any of their
respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has
any obligation to any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor
the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency
or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger have not provided and
will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) and each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Loan Party hereby waives and
releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty.

11.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

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

11.18 Judgment Currency.

     If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange
used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent
could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on
which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from
it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in
which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the
“Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following
receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less
than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement
Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased
is greater

119

 

than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the
Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

11.19 Intercreditor Agreements.

     Each Lender (including each Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof pursuant to
Section 2.01(b) or Section 11.07) hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative
Agent to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of
each Intercreditor Agreement.

Exhibit 10.1

AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is executed as of February 20, 2007 by and between Monroe J.
Carell, Jr., an individual residing in Nashville, Tennessee (“Mr. Carell”) and Central Parking
Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”).

     WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has entered into a
merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with KCPC HOLDINGS, INC. (“Parent”) and KCPC ACQUISITION,
INC. (“Merger Sub”) whereby the Merger Sub will merger with and into the Company on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”);

     WHEREAS, as a condition to the execution of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Carell has been
requested to enter into a voting agreement with Parent (the “Voting Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, Mr. Carell and the Company have previously entered into an employment agreement dated
December 13, 2004, as amended on October 26, 2006 (such employment agreement, as amended, is
hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, Mr. Carell and the Company have previously entered into a revised deferred
compensation agreement on December 14, 2004, as amended by that certain first amendment to the
revised deferred compensation agreement between Mr. Carell and the Company dated October 27, 2005,
as further amended by that certain second amendment to the revised deferred compensation agreement
between Mr. Carell and the Company dated May 30, 2006 (such revised deferred compensation
agreement, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Revised Deferred Compensation
Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, as a material inducement to Mr. Carell entering into the Voting Agreement, but
contingent on the closing of the Merger, Mr. Carell and the Company have agreed to certain
interpretations and modifications of the Employment Agreement and the Revised Deferred Compensation
Agreement and to certain other matters as more specifically set forth herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

     1. Voting Agreement. Mr. Carell hereby agrees to enter into the Voting Agreement in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     2. Resignation from the Company’s Board. Effective as of the closing of the Merger,
Mr. Carell shall resign as Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and shall resign
as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Such resignation shall be deemed to be a
termination for “Good Reason” for purposes of Paragraph A of Section X of the Employment Agreement
which, except as provided in Paragraph 3 below, will entitle Mr. Carell to the payments referred to
in Paragraph A of Section X of the Employment Agreement. For purposes of calculating such
payments, Mr. Carell’s “Base Salary” shall be deemed to be Eight Hundred Forty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($845,000).

1

 

     3. Waiver of Outplacement Assistance. Paragraph A of Section X of the Employment
Agreement provides that upon the termination of Mr. Carell’s employment with the Company for “Good
Reason,” he will be entitled to be paid up to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for
outplacement assistance. Effective upon the closing of the Merger, Mr. Carell hereby waives the
right to such outplacement assistance.

     4. Interpretation and Amendment of Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation. Section 1.3 of the
Revised Deferred Compensation Agreement contains certain post-termination non-compete and
non-solicitation covenants. Effective upon the closing of the Merger, the Company hereby agrees
that Section 1.3 shall be deleted in its entirety and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

	 	“1.3. 	 	Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation. During the Period of Employment and for a
period of twelve (12) months following the Period of Employment, Monroe will not,
directly or indirectly, either as an individual for his own account or as a consultant,
partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, officer, director, shareholder or member: (i)
own or hold any proprietary interest (as defined herein) in or be employed by or
provide consulting services to any party engaged in the same or any substantially
similar business as the Corporation as such exists as of the date hereof in the United
States and any other area where the Corporation conducts its business; (ii) encourage
or attempt to encourage any clients, customers or landlords of the Corporation as of
the end of the Period of Employment to not continue or otherwise modify adversely its
business relationship with the Corporation; and (iii) solicit or attempt to solicit for
the purpose of hiring or engaging, as an employee, agent, consultant, independent
contractor, or in any other capacity, any of the Corporation’s employees other than
Rhonda Harvey and, following any termination of his employment by the Corporation,
William Porter. For purposes of this Section 1, “Corporation” shall include any of the
Corporation’s subsidiaries, joint venturers, partnerships or affiliates, to the extent
that the Corporation has a interest of fifty percent (50%) or greater in such entities.
For purposes of this Section 1.3, proprietary interest means legal or equitable
ownership, whether through stock holdings or otherwise, of a debt or equity interest
(including options, warrants, rights and convertible interests) in a non-publicly held
business firm or entity, or ownership of more than five percent (5%) of any class of
equity interest in a publicly held company. Monroe acknowledges that the covenants
contained herein are reasonable as to geographic and temporal scope and the sufficiency
of the consideration for such covenants. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.3
to the contrary, it shall not be a violation of this Section 1.3 for Monroe: (i) to
serve as a consultant or broker of lease or management agreements for persons who have
interests in Parking Facilities (as such term is defined in this Section 1.3);
provided, however, Mr. Carell may not serve as a consultant or broker for persons who
are engaged in the same or any substantially similar business as the Company as such
exists as of the date hereof in the United States and any other area where the Company
conducts its business; or (ii) to own Parking Facilities for which neither Monroe nor
any affiliated entity is the operator.”

5. Office and Administrative Support. For a period of two weeks following the closing of
the Merger, Mr. Carell shall be entitled to the continued use of the Company office he is using at
the time of his resignation under Paragraph 2 above. At such time, the Company will relocate Mr
Carell, his secretary and all personal files to reasonably equivalent office space selected by Mr.
Carell, subject to the Company’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company
will bear the costs of the relocation and any required tenant improvements to make the new office
space reasonably equivalent to Mr. Carell’s current office, as reasonably determined by the
Company. Through September 30, 2012, the Company will also pay the rental fees for such new office
space and the base salary for Mr. Carell’s secretary.

     6. Reimbursement of Transaction Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Mr. Carell for
all actual and reasonable legal, tax analysis, and accounting fees and expenses incurred after
February 14, 2007 by Mr. Carell, his immediate family members, and the trusts created by Mr. Carell
which are associated with the sale of their interests in the Company in connection with the Merger;
provided, however, the Company shall not pay any fees and expenses incurred by Mr. Carell
associated with any proposal by Mr. Carell to acquire any of the Company’s assets.

     7. Funding of Certain Obligations. In accordance with Section 2.3 and Section 4.3 of
the Revised Deferred Compensation Agreement, the Company shall as soon as practicable following the
date of this Agreement, contribute to Mr. Carell’s Rabbi Trust (as referred to in the Revised
Deferred Compensation Agreement) the amounts referred to in Sections 2.3 and 4.3, in each case in
accordance with the calculations attached hereto as Exhibit B and, effective upon the
closing of the Merger, the Company shall pay to Mr. Carell in a lump sum the amounts referred to in
Section 3 of the Revised Deferred Compensation Agreement in accordance with the calculations
attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     8. Parking. Following the closing of the Merger, the Company shall permit Mr. Carell,
his spouse, his lineal descendants and their spouses to continue to park their personal vehicles in
any Company parking facility free of charge during Mr. Carell’s lifetime.

     9. Life Insurance. The Company shall take such actions as necessary to effect the
changes to the life insurance policies on the life of Mr. Carell in accordance with the proposals
set forth in the memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit C.

     10. Ratification. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of
the Employment Agreement and the Revised Deferred Compensation Agreement remain in full force and
effect.
