Exhibit 4.1

PIKE COMPENSATION DEFERRAL PLAN

(as established effective March 1, 2011)

1. Name:

This plan shall be known as the “Pike Compensation Deferral Plan” (the “Plan”).

2. Purpose and Intent:

providing certain of its employees, and the employees of certain other Participating Employers,
with the opportunity to defer payment of certain base salary and annual bonuses, and receive
certain employer contributions, in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth herein. It
is the intent of the Participating Employers that amounts deferred under the Plan by an employee
shall not be taxable to the employee for income tax purposes until the time actually received by
the employee. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted to effectuate that
intent.

3. Definitions:

to a Wrap Election under Paragraph 5(b) below. In addition, all amounts credited to a

Plan.

4. Administration:

The Plan Committee shall be responsible for administering the Plan. The Plan Committee shall
have all of the powers necessary to enable it to properly carry out its duties under the Plan. Not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Plan Committee shall have the power to construe and interpret
the Plan and to determine all questions that arise thereunder. The Plan Committee shall have such
other and further specified duties, powers, authority and discretion as are elsewhere in the Plan
either expressly or by necessary implication conferred upon it. The Plan Committee may appoint any
agents that it deems necessary for the effective performance of its duties, and may delegate to
those agents those powers and duties that the Plan Committee deems expedient or appropriate that
are not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan. All decisions of the CEO, the Plan Committee and
the Compensation Committee upon all matters within the scope of his or its authority shall be made
in the CEO’s, Plan Committee’s or Compensation Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and
conclusive on all persons, except to the extent otherwise provided by law.

5. Eligibility, Deferrals and Account Adjustments:

(a) Eligibility. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, each
senior executive of Pike Electric Corporation or other Participating Employer whose compensation is
subject to review and approval by the Compensation Committee shall be an Eligible Employee. For
all other Employees, the CEO shall designate which Employees shall be Eligible Employees for each
Plan Year; provided, however, that the determination of Eligible Employees shall be
made consistent with the requirement that the Plan be a “top hat” plan for purposes of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. An Employee designated as an Eligible Employee
with respect to one Plan Year need not be designated as an Eligible Employee for any subsequent
Plan Year.

(b) Elections to Defer. A person who is an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year may elect
to defer a percentage of the Eligible Employee’s base salary for the Plan Year and Annual Bonus
payable for the fiscal year ending during the Plan Year up to a maximum deferral percentage
established by the Plan Committee from time to time. In addition, the Eligible Employee may make
an election for the Plan Year to transfer the lesser of the amount of the compensation deferred
under this Paragraph 5(b), or an amount not to exceed the maximum amount of elective deferrals
allowable under Code Section 402(g)(1)(A), (B), and (C) in effect for such Plan Year (a “Wrap
Election”), to the Participant’s 401(k) Account, subject to the following:

	 	(i)	 	Except as provided in subparagraph (iii) below, as of the
earliest date administratively practicable after the end of the Plan Year (and
in no event greater than the time authorized by regulation or other guidance),
the lesser of (x) the amount of the compensation deferred under this Paragraph
5(b) for the Plan Year, or (y) the maximum amount that may be deferred under
the 401(k) Plan as elective deferrals under Code Section 402(g)(1)(A), (B), and (C) for the Plan
Year reduced, as necessary, to satisfy nondiscrimination testing under Code
Section 401(k)(3) under the 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year, shall be
transferred to the Eligible Employee’s 401(k) Account, with the Eligible
Employee’s deferrals credited under this Paragraph 5(b) being simultaneously
reduced by a corresponding amount. Amounts transferred to the Eligible
Employee’s 401(k) Account shall be taken from the Eligible Employee’s deemed
investments under Paragraph 5(g) below on a pro rata basis.

 

 

 

	 	(ii)	 	The amount transferred to the Eligible Employee’s 401(k)
Account shall in no event include any Account adjustments for deemed
investments under Paragraph 5(g) below attributable to the amount so
transferred.

	 	(iii)	 	A Wrap Election of an Eligible Employee who incurs a
Separation from Service during the Plan Year shall be disregarded, and amounts
deferred under the Plan with respect to the Plan Year are not eligible for
transfer to the Eligible Employee’s 401(k) Account.

	 	(iv)	 	An Eligible Employee who makes a Wrap Election for a Plan Year
shall not be permitted to make any other deferral election under the 401(k)
Plan for the Plan Year, except to the extent the 401(k) Plan expressly permits
otherwise.

	 	(v)	 	An Eligible Employee who makes a deferral election under this
Paragraph 5(b) but does not make a Wrap Election for a Plan Year, or an
Eligible Employee who elects not to make any deferrals under the Plan for a
Plan Year, may still participate in the 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the 401(k) Plan. In such case, any
amounts deferred under the Plan shall not be taken into account for purposes of
determining contributions or allocations under the 401(k) Plan.

Elections to defer base salary or Annual Bonuses for a Plan Year and any Wrap Election for a Plan
Year must be made before the first day of the Plan Year, provided that a newly hired Eligible
Employee who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan after the start of the Plan Year may
make such deferral election within thirty (30) days after first becoming eligible to participate in
the Plan as notified by the Plan Committee. For the 2011 Plan Year, (A) deferral elections and
Wrap Elections must be made prior to March 1, 2011 (or such other later effective date for 2011
deferrals prospectively communicated by the Plan Committee), (B) no portion of the Annual Bonus for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 shall be eligible for deferral and (C) for a Participant who
makes a Wrap Election, no further deferrals shall be permitted under the 401(k) Plan for the
balance of 2011 and any 401(k) Plan deferrals made during 2011 prior to March 1, 2011 (or such
other later effective date for 2011 deferrals prospectively communicated by the Plan Committee)
shall be taken into account in determining the amount transferable to the 401(k) Plan under Section
5(b)(i) above. All elections made under this Paragraph 5(b) shall be made in writing on a form, or
pursuant to other non-written procedures, as may be prescribed from time to time by the Plan
Committee and shall be irrevocable for the Plan Year; provided, however, that the
Plan Committee may, in its discretion, determine to cancel a Participant’s deferral election for a
Plan Year due to a hardship withdrawal by the Participant under the 401(k) Plan or in connection
with an unforeseeable emergency withdrawal request by the Participant under Paragraph 6(g) below.
An election to defer made by an Eligible Employee with respect to any base salary or Annual Bonus
payable for a Plan Year shall not automatically apply with respect to any base salary or Annual
Bonus payable for any subsequent Plan Year.

 

 

 

(c) Matching Contributions. If a Participant defers any amount under the Plan during
a Plan Year in which the Participant is eligible to receive matching contributions under the 401(k)
Plan, the Participant shall be eligible to be credited with a matching contribution to the
Participant’s Employer Account for the Plan Year. The amount of the matching contribution shall
equal Amount A less Amount B (but not less than zero), where:

Amount A is the aggregate amount of matching contributions the Participant would
have received under the 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year had the Code Limitations,
other than Code Section 401(a)(17), not applied to the 401(k) Plan, taking into
account for such purpose all matchable deferrals made to the 401(k) Plan for the
Plan Year (including any amount transferred to the 401(k) Plan pursuant to a Wrap
Election for the Plan Year) plus all amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral
Account for the Plan Year that would have been matchable deferrals had the amounts
been deferred under the 401(k) Plan; and

Amount B equals the aggregate amount of matching contributions actually allocated to
the Participant’s account under the 401(k) Plan for the Plan Year (including any
matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan with respect to any amount transferred
to the 401(k) Plan pursuant to a Wrap Election for the Plan Year).

Matching contributions under the Plan shall be determined as soon as administratively practicable
following the end of the applicable Plan Year and after all transfers pursuant to Wrap Elections
have been completed, provided that for a Participant who has a Separation from Service during a
Plan Year, such matching contributions shall be determined as soon as administratively practicable
after the date of such Separation from Service.

(d) Other Contributions. The Participating Employers may from time to time, in their
sole and exclusive discretion, elect to credit a Participant’s Employer Account with additional
amounts not otherwise contemplated by this Paragraph 5.

(e) Establishment of Accounts. A Participating Employer shall establish (or cause to
be established) an Account for each Participant employed by the Participating Employer, comprised
of a Deferral Account and an Employer Account. Each Account shall be designated by the name of the
Participant for whom established. The amount of any base salary or Annual Bonus deferred by a
Participant under Paragraph 5(b) above shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account as
of the date the base salary or Annual Bonus would have otherwise been paid to the Participant. The
amount of any matching contributions under Paragraph 5(c) above shall be credited to the
Participant’s Employer Account as of the date the matching contributions are determined in
accordance with Paragraph 5(c) above. If any other contributions are allocated to a Participant
under Paragraph 5(d) above, such amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Employer Account as
of the date determined by the Participating Employer.

(f) Vesting of Accounts. All Deferral Accounts are fully (100%) vested. A
Participant’s matching contributions under the Plan shall be vested to the same extent as the
Participant’s matching contributions are vested under the 401(k) Plan. Any other Participating
Employer contributions made under Paragraph 5(d) above shall be subject to such vesting
requirements as established by the Participating Employer at the time the amount is first credited
to the Participant’s Employer Account.

 

 

 

(g) Account Adjustments for Deemed Investments. The Plan Committee shall from time to
time designate one or more investment vehicle(s) in which the Accounts of Participants shall be
deemed to be invested. The investment vehicle(s) may be designated by reference to the investments
available under
other plans sponsored by a Participating Employer, including the 401(k) Plan. Each Participant may
designate the investment vehicle(s) in which his or her Account shall be deemed to be invested
according to the procedures developed by the Plan Committee, except as otherwise required by the
terms of the Plan. No Participating Employer shall be under an obligation to acquire or invest in
any of the deemed investment vehicle(s), and any acquisition of or investment in a deemed
investment vehicle by a Participating Employer shall be made in the name of the Participating
Employer and shall remain the sole property of the Participating Employer. The Plan Committee shall
also establish from time to time a default investment vehicle into which a Participant’s Account
shall be deemed to be invested if the Eligible Employee fails to provide investment instructions to
the Plan Committee. Account adjustments shall be applied pro rata among a Participant’s various
Payment Sub-Accounts.

(h) Timing of Adjustments. The adjustments to Accounts for deemed investments as
provided in Paragraph 5(g) shall be made from time to time at such intervals as determined by the
Plan Committee. The Plan Committee may determine the frequency of account adjustments by reference
to the frequency of account adjustments under another plan sponsored by a Participating Employer,
including the 401(k) Plan. The amount of the adjustment shall equal the amount that the
Participant’s Account would have earned (or lost) for the period since the last adjustment had the
Account actually been invested in the deemed investment vehicle(s) designated by the Participant
for the period.

(i) Statements of Account. Each Participant shall receive a statement of the
Participant’s Account balance no less frequently than annually.

6. Distribution Provisions:

(a) Class Year Payment Elections. A Participant for any Plan Year shall elect from
among the available forms of payment set forth in Paragraph 6(b) below the form of payment that
shall apply to the Payment Sub-Account comprised of the Class Year Deferrals for each such Plan
Year. The payment election shall be made coincident with the deferral elections under Paragraph
5(b) above for such Plan Year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as to the Class
Year Deferrals comprised of all amounts credited to a Participant’s Employer Account, the
applicable class year payment election shall be made by the Participant coincident with the first
time the Participant makes a deferral election under the Plan.

(b) Available Forms of Payment. A Participant shall select from among the following
forms of payment for each Payment Sub-Account to which separate payment elections are made
available pursuant to Paragraphs 6(a) above, provided that with respect to the Class Year Deferrals
comprised of all amounts credited to a Participant’s Employer Account, the only forms of payment
available shall be subparagraphs (i) and (iii) below. The Participant must select a single form of
payment applicable to each Payment Sub-Account (i.e., a Payment Sub-Account may not be “split”
among more than one form of payment):

	 	(i)	 	Lump Sum Payment Following Separation from
Service. The balance of the applicable Payment Sub-Account shall
be payable in a single cash payment on the Payment Date for the first
Valuation Date that occurs at least six months after the Participant’s
Separation from Service; or

	 	(ii)	 	Lump Sum Payment In Specified Year. The
balance of the applicable Payment Sub-Account shall be payable in a
single cash on the first Payment Date for the calendar year elected by
the Participant; provided, however, that the payment
shall be made on the Payment Date for the
first Valuation Date that occurs at least six months after the
Participant’s Separation from Service; or

 

 

 

	 	(iii)	 	Annual Installments Following Separation from
Service. The balance of the applicable Payment Sub-Account shall
be payable in annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years
as selected by the Participant commencing on the Payment Date for the
first Valuation Date that occurs at least six months after the
Participant’s Separation from Service; or

	 	(iv)	 	Annual Installments Commencing In Specified
Year. The balance of the applicable Payment Sub-Account shall be
payable in annual installments over a period of up to five (5) years as
selected by the Participant commencing on the first Payment Date of the
calendar year elected by the Participant; provided,
however, that the installments shall commence on the Payment
Date for the first Valuation Date that occurs at least six months after
the Participant’s Separation from Service.

A Participant who fails to make a payment election for a Payment Sub-Account in accordance
with the provisions of this Paragraph 6(b) shall be deemed to have elected for such Payment
Sub-Account a lump sum payment following Separation from Service. The amount payable on any
Payment Date shall be based on the balance of the Account as of the immediately preceding Valuation
Date.

(c) Subsequent Changes to Payment Elections. A Participant who is in the active
service of a Participating Employer may change the timing or form of payment elected under
Paragraph 6(b)(ii) or (iv) above, or the timing or form of payment subsequently elected under this
Paragraph 6(c), with respect to a Payment Sub-Account only if (i) such election is made at least
twelve (12) months prior to the date the payment of the Payment Sub-Account would have otherwise
commenced and (ii) the effect of such election is to defer commencement of such payments by at
least five (5) years. For purposes of the Plan, a series of installment payments is treated as a
single payment to be made in the year that the first installment would otherwise be paid.

(d) Default Lump Sum Payment. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, a
Participant’s entire Account balance shall be payable in a single cash payment on the Payment Date
for the first Valuation Date that occurs at least six months after the Participant’s Separation
from Service if, as of such Valuation Date, the balance of the Participant’s Account is less than
$10,000.

(e) Installments. If amounts are payable to a Participant in the form of annual
installments, the first annual installment shall be paid commencing per the applicable election set
forth in Paragraph 6(b) above, and each subsequent installment shall be payable on the Payment Date
for the Valuation Date that is the anniversary of the first Valuation Date. The amount payable on
each Payment Date shall be equal to the balance of the applicable Payment Sub-Account on the
applicable Valuation Date divided by the number of remaining installments (including the
installment then payable).

(f) Death. If a Participant dies before having been paid the entire balance of the
Participant’s Account (including a Participant receiving installment payments), the remaining
unpaid balance of the Account shall be payable to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a single cash
payment on the Payment Date for the first Valuation Date that occurs after notice of such death has
been received by the Plan Committee.

 

 

 

(g) Withdrawals on Account of an Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant who is in
active service with a Participating Employer may, if permitted by the Plan Committee, receive a
refund of all or any part of the amounts previously credited to the Participant’s Account in the
case of an “unforeseeable emergency.” A Participant requesting a payment pursuant to this
Paragraph 6(g) shall have the burden of proof of establishing, to the Plan Committee’s
satisfaction, the existence of an “unforeseeable emergency,” and the amount of the payment needed
to satisfy the same. In that regard, the Participant must provide the Plan Committee with such
financial data and information as the Plan Committee may request. If the Plan Committee determines
that a payment should be made to a Participant under this Paragraph 6(g), the payment shall be made
within a reasonable time after the Plan Committee’s determination of the existence of the
“unforeseeable emergency” and the amount of payment so needed. As used herein, the term
“unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to a Participant resulting from a
sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant,
loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and
unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant.
The circumstances that constitute an “unforeseeable emergency” shall depend upon the facts of each
case, but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that the hardship is or may be
relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation
of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause
severe financial hardship or (iii) by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Examples of what are
not considered to be “unforeseeable emergencies” include the need to send a Participant’s child to
college or the desire to purchase a home. Withdrawals of amounts because of an “unforeseeable
emergency” may not exceed an amount reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need.

(h) Other Payment Provisions. To be effective, any elections under this Paragraph 6
shall be made on such form, at such time and pursuant to such procedures as determined by the Plan
Committee in its sole discretion from time to time. Any deferral or payment hereunder shall be
subject to applicable payroll and withholding taxes. In that regard, the Participating Employers
may determine, in their sole and exclusive discretion, to deduct from the amount otherwise to be
credited to the Employer Account of a Participant for a Plan Year an amount necessary to pay any
related payroll taxes. In the event any amount becomes payable under the provisions of the Plan to
a Participant, Beneficiary or other person who is a minor or an incompetent, whether or not
declared incompetent by a court, such amount may be paid directly to the minor or incompetent
person or to such person’s fiduciary (or attorney-in-fact in the case of an incompetent) as the
Plan Committee, in its sole discretion, may decide, and the Plan Committee shall not be liable to
any person for any such decision or any payment pursuant thereto.

7. Amendment, Modification and Termination of the Plan:

The Participating Employers reserve the right at any time, by action of the Compensation
Committee or by action of the Plan Committee, to amend in whole or in part any or all of the
provisions of the Plan or to terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no
amendment or termination may reduce the amount actually credited to a Participant’s Account on the
date of the amendment or termination, or further defer the due dates for the payment of the
amounts, without the consent of the affected Participant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
to the contrary but only to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, in connection with any
termination of the Plan the Compensation Committee or the Plan Committee, as applicable, shall have
the authority to cause the Accounts of all Participants (and Beneficiaries of any deceased
Participants) to be paid in a single cash payment as of a date determined by the Compensation
Committee or Plan Committee or to otherwise accelerate the payment of all Accounts in such manner
as the Compensation Committee or Plan Committee determines in its discretion.

 

 

 

8. Claims Procedures:

Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be addressed pursuant to the claims procedures
applicable under the 401(k) Plan. Any decision pursuant to such claims procedures shall be final
and conclusive upon all persons interested therein, except to the extent otherwise provided by
applicable law.

9. Indemnity of Plan Committee:

The Participating Employers shall indemnify and/or maintain and keep in force insurance in
such form and in such amount as may be necessary to protect the Plan Committee, its members, and
its delegates and appointees (other than persons who are independent of the Participating Employers
and are rendering services to the Plan for a fee) from any and all liability which may arise by
reason of their action or failure to act concerning this Plan, excepting any willful misconduct or
gross negligence.

10. Notice:

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Plan Committee under the Plan
shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail,
postage pre-paid, to the address below:

Pike Electric Corporation

100 Pike Way

Mt. Airy, NC 27030

Attn: Plan Committee for the Pike Compensation Deferral Plan

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail,
as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification. Any notice
or filing required or permitted to be given to a Participant under the Plan shall be sufficient if
in writing and hand-delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid, to the
last known address of the Participant.

11. Applicable Law:

The Plan shall be construed, administered and governed in accordance with the laws of the
State of North Carolina, except to the extent such laws are preempted by federal law.

12. Compliance With Code Section 409A:

The Plan is intended to comply with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, the Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered consistent with this
intent.

 

 

 

13. Miscellaneous:

A Participant’s rights and interests under the Plan may not be assigned or transferred by the
Participant. In that regard, no part of any amounts credited or payable hereunder shall, prior to
actual payment, (i) be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment
of debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Participant or any other person,
(ii) be transferable by operation of law in the event of the Participant’s or any person’s
bankruptcy or insolvency or (iii) be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement
or otherwise. The Plan shall be an unsecured and unfunded arrangement. To the extent the
Participant acquires a right to receive payments from the Participating Employers under the Plan,
the right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Participating
Employers. Nothing contained herein may be deemed to create a trust of any kind or any fiduciary
relationship between a Participating Employer and any Participant. Designation as an Eligible
Employee or Participant in the Plan shall not entitle or be deemed to entitle the person to
continued employment with the Participating Employers. The Plan shall be binding on each
Participating Employer and their respective successors and assigns.

     3. New Lenders. From and after the date hereof, each Person identified on the
signature pages hereto as a Lender that is not a party to the Credit Agreement immediately prior to
giving effect to this Amendment (each, a “New Lender”) shall be deemed to be a party to the
Credit Agreement and a “Lender” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as if it had executed the Credit Agreement.

     4. Increase in Aggregate Revolving Commitments. The Aggregate Revolving Commitments
are increased to $450,000,000. The Revolving Commitment of each Lender as of the date hereof is
amended to equal the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01 of the
Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. Immediately after giving effect to the
increase of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the amendment of the amount of each Lender’s
Revolving Commitment as set forth on Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement attached hereto

of Credit and (y) each Swing Line Lender a risk participation in each outstanding Swing Line Loan

Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Bright BVI”), is released from all of its
obligations under the Loan Documents other than claims against Bright BVI in connection with any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any of the Loan Parties if and to the extent any payment or
other transfer made by any of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any
Lender on or prior to the date hereof is avoided or otherwise rescinded, so that the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender is required pursuant to any final order of a court of competent
jurisdiction to repay such payment or transfer. In consideration of the foregoing release, Bright
BVI releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each a “Lender Party”) from any and all
claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, suits, liabilities, actions and causes of action
of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, all claims, demands, and causes of action
for contribution and indemnity, whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown,
whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or
contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which Bright BVI may
have or claim to have against any Lender Party.

     6. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof
upon satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Exhibit B to this
Amendment in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender. Without limiting
the generality of the provisions of Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, for purposes of
determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 3, each Lender that has signed
this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with,
each document or other matter required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or
satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such
Lender prior to the proposed closing date of this Amendment specifying its objection thereto.

     7. Amendment is a “Loan Document”. This Amendment is a Loan Document and all
references to a “Loan Document” in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, all such references in the representations and warranties in the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents) shall be deemed to include this Amendment.

     8. Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that after giving effect to this Amendment,
(a) each of the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they
are be true and correct as of such earlier date, and (b) no Default exists.

     9. Reaffirmation of Obligations. Each Loan Party (a) acknowledges and consents to all
of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan
Documents and (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents, agreements and instruments executed
in connection with this Amendment do not operate to reduce or discharge such Loan Party’s
obligations under the Loan Documents.

2

 

     10. Reaffirmation of Security Interests. Each Loan Party (a) affirms that each of the
Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are valid and subsisting and (b) agrees that

Amendment do not in any manner impair or otherwise adversely effect any of the Liens granted in or
pursuant to the Loan Documents.

     11. No Other Changes. Except as modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of
the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

     12. Counterparts; Delivery. This Amendment 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. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as

     (a) Generally. Except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein, all accounting
terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all
financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be
submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a

100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC

     (b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation
of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Parent or the
Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Parent shall
negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof
in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided
that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in

be made on a Pro Forma Basis for all Acquisitions, Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions that
occurred during the applicable period and (ii) for purposes of all calculations of the financial
covenants in Section 8.11 (including for purposes of determining the Applicable Rate), the
calculation of Consolidated EBITDA for the applicable period 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. All references herein to consolidated

the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each
case, be deemed to include each variable interest

37

interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined herein.

     (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 basis, as applicable.

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

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 Domestic 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

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 Domestic Swing Line Loans,
such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Domestic Swing
Line Lender; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit,

     (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

38

 

pertaining to Domestic 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 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 Domestic Swing Line Loans, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Domestic
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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, to permit Revolving Loans or Domestic 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 each Lender 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender consent to the making of
Domestic 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 Domestic 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

39

 

adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions
or practices relating to the Euro.

     (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect

     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.

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) three Business Days (or
four Business Days in the case of (1) a Special Notice Currency, (2) Australian Dollars, (3) New
Zealand Dollars and (4) if required by the Administrative Agent, each other currency approved in
accordance with Section 1.06) 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 a Revolving Loan
that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan 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),
2.05(c), 2.06(c) and 2.07(c), each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or
conversion of a Revolving Loan that is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan 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)

41

 

whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a Borrowing of a Revolving Loan, a conversion of a
Revolving Loan from one Type to the other, or a continuation of a Revolving Loan that is a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (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 to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (iv) the Type of the Revolving Loan to be borrowed or to which existing
Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect
thereto, and (vi) the currency of the Revolving Loan to be borrowed. If the applicable Borrower
fails to specify a currency in a Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Loan so requested
shall be made in US Dollars. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a Type of a Loan in a
Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans in the case of a request
for a 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 Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency. If the
applicable Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the
applicable 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 Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency, such 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 Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan
denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such
Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

     (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
applicable Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the requested Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion
to Base Rate Loans or continuation of 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 applicable
Lender shall make the amount of its 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 Loan denominated in US Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the
Administrative Agent in the case of any 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 the Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing
of Revolving Loans is given by the Borrower, 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) 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.

     (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

42

 

rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Parent and the Lenders of any change in the Prime 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 fifteen (15)
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, (w) the Total Revolving Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (x) 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 (y) 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

     (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

43

 

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 Fourth Amendment
Effective Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or
expense which was not applicable on the Fourth Amendment Effective 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
Alternative Currency;

     (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) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has
entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory
to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting
Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after
giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter
of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or
potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

     (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 Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used
in Article X included such L/C

44

 

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
Documentary Credits, each L/C Issuer shall cancel any Letter of Credit issued by it promptly
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 Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of

45

 

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 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 permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount
thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of
Credit”). 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 to
permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued,
except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized
(but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated
amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable L/C Issuer
to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing
thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days
after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the applicable L/C Issuer
shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone
or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement
Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to
permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then
satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this
clause) and, in each case, directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such
reinstatement.

     (v) 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

46

 

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.

     (vi) 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 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 (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) 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

47

 

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 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.

     (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), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, 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.

48

 

     (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.

     (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;

49

 

     (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, the Required Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of
Credit 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) [Reserved.]

     (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

50

 

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 during
such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate (i) upon the request
of the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists and (ii) at any time that the interest on
the Loans is based on 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, in the
case of Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, or the rate agreed to by the Parent and RBS,
in the case of Letters of Credit issued by RBS,, 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, in the case of Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, or
the rate agreed to by the Parent and RBS, in the case of Letters of Credit issued by RBS, 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 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

51

 

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 Domestic Swing Line Facility.

     (a) Domestic Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Domestic Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in
this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Domestic 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 provided, further, that (i) the Borrowers
shall not use the proceeds of any Domestic Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Domestic
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. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Domestic Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make
any Domestic Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Domestic
Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral,
satisfactory to the Domestic Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such
Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Domestic Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting
Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from the Domestic Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made and all other Domestic Swing
Line Loans as to which the Domestic Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as
it may elect in its sole discretion. 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 2.08, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Domestic Swing Line Loans
denominated in US Dollars shall be Base Rate Loans. Domestic Swing Line Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Domestic
Swing Line Loan by the Domestic Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Domestic Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Domestic Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Domestic Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures.

     (i) Each Borrowing of Domestic Swing Line Loans and each continuation of Domestic Swing
Line Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Domestic Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may
be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Domestic Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent not later than (A) 11:00 a.m. three Business Days (or four
Business Days in the case of (1) a Special Notice Currency, (2) Australian Dollars, (3) New
Zealand Dollars and (4) if required by the Administrative Agent, each other currency
approved in accordance with Section 1.06) prior to the requested date of
any Borrowing or continuation of

52

 

Domestic 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
Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent
of a written Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Each Borrowing of or continuation of Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic
Swing Line Loans or a continuation of Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Loans to be
borrowed or continued, (D) the Type of Domestic Swing Line Loans to be borrowed or to which
existing Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line
Loans to be borrowed. If the applicable Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Domestic
Swing Line Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing of Domestic Swing Line Loans, then the
Domestic Swing Line Loans so requested shall be made in US Dollars. If the applicable
Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in a Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice for a
Domestic Swing Line Loan to be denominated in Alternative Currency, then the applicable
Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Loan, then at the end of the Interest Period for the
applicable Domestic Swing Line Loan such Domestic Swing Line Loan shall be continued as a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan in its original currency with an Interest Period of one month. No
Domestic Swing Line Loan may be converted into or continued as a Domestic Swing Line Loan
denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of
such Domestic Swing Line Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt by the Domestic Swing Line Lender of any telephonic
Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Domestic Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Domestic Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Domestic Swing Line Lender
will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.
Unless the Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Loans (A) directing the Domestic Swing
Line Lender not to make such Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender will, not
later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Domestic Swing Line Loan
Notice, make the amount of its Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender
by the applicable Borrower.

     (iii) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Domestic Swing Line Loan that is
Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued only on the last day of the Interest Period with
respect

53

 

thereto. During the existence of a Default, the Required Lenders may demand that any
or all of the then outstanding Domestic Swing Line Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency be prepaid.

     (c) Refinancing of Domestic Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Domestic 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
Domestic 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 Domestic 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
Domestic 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
(and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the
applicable Domestic Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender in
US Dollars.

     (ii) If for any reason any Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be
deemed to be a request by the Domestic Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its
risk participation in the relevant Domestic Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Loan, as the
case may be. A certificate of the Domestic 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.

54

 

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Domestic 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 Domestic 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 each
Borrower to repay Domestic Swing Line Loans made to it, 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
Domestic Swing Line Loan, if the Domestic Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account
of such Domestic Swing Line Loan, the Domestic Swing Line Lender will distribute to such
Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Domestic
Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Domestic Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Domestic Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Domestic Swing
Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Domestic Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Domestic 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 Domestic 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 Domestic Swing Line Lender. The Domestic Swing Line
Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Domestic
Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Domestic Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the
Domestic Swing Line Lender.

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

2.05 Australian Swing Line Facility.

     (a) Australian Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Australian Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set
forth in this Section 2.05, to make loans (each such loan, an “Australian 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 Australian Swing Line Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to
any Australian Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding

55

 

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. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Australian Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any
Australian Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Australian
Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral,
satisfactory to the Australian Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such
Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Australian Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting
Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from the Australian Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made and all other Australian Swing
Line Loans as to which the Australian Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure,
as it may elect in its sole discretion. 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 2.08, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Australian Swing Line
Loans shall be BBR Rate Loans. Immediately upon the making of an Australian Swing Line Loan by the
Australian Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Australian Swing Line Lender a risk participation in
such Australian Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Australian Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures.

     (i) Each Borrowing of Australian Swing Line Loans and each continuation of Australian
Swing Line Loans shall be made upon Bright Australia’s irrevocable notice to the Australian
Swing Line Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by
the Australian 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 Australian Swing Line
Loans. Each telephonic notice by Bright Australia pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Australian Swing Line Lender of a written
Australian Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible
Officer of Bright Australia. Each Borrowing of or continuation of Australian 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 Australian Swing Line Lender may agree). Each
such notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether Bright Australia is
requesting a Borrowing of Australian Swing Line Loans or a continuation of Australian 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 Australian Swing Line Loans
to be borrowed or continued.

     (ii) Unless the Australian 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 Australian Swing
Line Loans (A) directing the Australian Swing Line Lender not to make such Australian 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 Australian Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Sydney, Australia time) on
the borrowing date specified in such Australian Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of
its Australian 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

56

 

instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Australian Swing Line
Lender by Bright Australia.

     (c) Refinancing of Australian Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Australian Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion
may request, on behalf of Bright Australia (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Australian 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 Australian 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
Australian 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 (and
the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable
Australian Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Australian 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 Australian Swing Line Lender in US Dollars.

     (ii) If for any reason any Australian 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 Australian Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be
deemed to be a request by the Australian Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its
risk participation in the relevant Australian Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Australian 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 Australian 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 Australian 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 Australian 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 Australian 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 Australian Swing
Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Australian 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.

57

 

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Australian 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 Australian 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 Australian 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 an
Australian Swing Line Loan, if the Australian Swing Line Lender receives any payment on
account of such Australian Swing Line Loan, the Australian Swing Line Lender will distribute
to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the
Australian Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Australian Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any Australian Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the

2.06 Danish Swing Line Facility.

     (a) Danish Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Danish Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in
this Section 2.06, to make loans (each such loan, a “Danish Swing Line Loan”) to
any Danish Borrower in Euros or Sterling 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
Danish Swing Line Sublimit; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Danish 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

58

 

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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Danish Swing Line
Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Danish Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at
that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Danish Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements,
including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Danish Swing Line Lender (in its
sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Danish Swing Line
Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv))
with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from the Danish Swing Line Loan then proposed to be
made and all other Danish Swing Line Loans as to which the Danish Swing Line Lender has actual or
potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Within the foregoing limits,
and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Danish Borrowers may borrow under this
Section 2.06, prepay under Section 2.08, and reborrow under this Section
2.06. Danish Swing Line Loans denominated in Euro shall be Daily Euro Rate Loans. Danish
Swing Line Loans denominated in Sterling shall be Daily Sterling Rate Loans. Immediately upon the
making of a Danish Swing Line Loan by the Danish Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Danish Swing Line Lender a
risk participation in such Danish Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Danish Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures.

     (i) Each Borrowing of Danish Swing Line Loans and each continuation of Danish Swing
Line Loans shall be made upon the applicable Danish Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the
Danish Swing Line Lender. Each such notice must be in writing and received by the Danish
Swing Line Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day of the
requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Danish Swing Line Loans. Each notice by
a Danish Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) that is delivered by facsimile
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Danish Swing Line Lender of a written Danish
Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Danish Borrower. Each Borrowing of or continuation of Danish Swing Line Loans shall be in a
principal amount of (x) in the case of Borrowings or continuations of Danish Swing Line
Loans denominated in Euro €200,000 or a whole multiple of €50,000 in excess thereof (or such
lesser amounts as the Danish Swing Line Lender may agree), and (y) in the case of Borrowings
or continuations of Danish Swing Line Loans denominated in Sterling £200,000 or a whole
multiple of £50,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amounts as the Danish Swing Line
Lender may agree). Each such notice shall specify (A) whether such Danish Borrower is
requesting a Borrowing of Danish Swing Line Loans or a continuation of Danish 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 Danish Swing Line Loans to be
borrowed or continued.

     (ii) Unless the Danish 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. (London time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Danish Swing Line Loans (A)
directing the Danish Swing Line Lender not to make such Danish Swing Line Loan as a result
of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.06(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 Danish
Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the borrowing date
specified in such Danish Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Danish Swing Line
Loan available to the applicable Danish Borrower either by (i) crediting the account of such
Danish Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such

59

 

funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Danish Swing Line Lender by such Danish
Borrower.

     (c) Refinancing of Danish Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Danish Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may
request, on behalf of the Danish Borrowers (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Danish Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving
Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of any Danish
Swing Line Loan then outstanding. The Danish Swing Line Lender may request that such
Revolving Loan be (x) a Base Rate Loan denominated in US Dollars (based on the US Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of such Danish Swing Line Loan) or (y) a Eurocurrency Loan
denominated in the currency of such Danish Swing Line Loan. 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 Revolving 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 Danish Swing Line Lender shall
furnish the Danish Borrowers 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 or the relevant currency, as applicable, equal to its Applicable Percentage of the
amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds
(and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the
applicable Danish Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Danish Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan
Notice (which day shall, in the case of any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, be at
least four Business Days after the date such request is made by the Danish Swing Line
Lender), whereupon, subject to Section 2.06(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the applicable Borrower in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Danish Swing Line
Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Danish Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.06(c)(i), the request for
Revolving Loans submitted by the Danish Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be
deemed to be a request by the Danish Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its
risk participation in the relevant Danish Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Danish Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section
2.06(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 Danish Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(c) by the time specified
in Section 2.06(c)(i), the Danish 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 Danish 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 Danish 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 Danish Swing

60

 

Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Danish 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 Danish Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(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 Danish Swing Line Lender, any Danish 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 2.06(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 each
Danish Borrower to repay Danish Swing Line Loans made to it, 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
Danish Swing Line Loan, if the Danish Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Danish Swing Line Loan, the Danish Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Danish Swing Line
Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Danish Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Danish Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Danish Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by the Danish Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each
Lender shall pay to the Danish 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 Danish 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 Danish Swing Line Lender. The Danish Swing Line Lender
shall be responsible for invoicing the Danish Borrowers for interest on the Danish Swing Line
Loans. Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loans or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.06 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Danish Swing Line
Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the
Danish Swing Line Lender.

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

2.07 Additional Swing Line Facilities.

     (a) Additional Swing Line Facility Notice. The Parent may at any time and from time
to time establish one or more additional swing line facilities (each an “International Swing
Line Facility”) with a Lender (or a branch or Affiliate of a Lender) by delivering, with the
consent of such Lender (or such branch of affiliate) to the Administrative Agent a notice in
substantially the form of Exhibit 2.07

61

 

(each such notice an “International Swing Line Facility Notice”), provided
that immediately after giving effect to such International Swing Line Facility, the aggregate
amount of the Domestic Swing Line Sublimit, the Australian Swing Line Sublimit, the Danish Swing
Line Sublimit and all International Swing Line Sublimits shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the
Aggregate Swing Line Sublimit and (B) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Each International
Swing Line Facility Notice shall set forth (i) the name and contact information (including address,
telecopier number, electronic mail address and telephone number) of the Lender (or a branch or
affiliate of a Lender) that will act as the swing line lender for such additional swing line
facility (the “International Swing Line Lender”), (ii) the name(s) of the Borrower(s) that
will be permitted to borrow thereunder, (iii) the applicable currency(ies) available for borrowing
thereunder and (iv) the maximum principal amount (expressed in US Dollars) of borrowings that may
at any time be outstanding thereunder (the “International Swing Line Sublimit”). Each
International Swing Line Facility Notice shall be executed by the Parent, the International Swing
Line Lender and the Borrower(s) that will be permitted to borrow thereunder. On the date five (5)
Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) after
receipt by the Administrative Agent of the International Swing Line Facility Notice, such
International Swing Line Facility shall become effective for purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and all borrowings thereunder on and after such date shall be deemed
International Swing Line Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the outstanding
principal amount of International Swing Line Loans under any International Swing Line Facility
exceeds International Swing Line Sublimit (other than a result solely of foreign currency
fluctuations), such excess (and any accrued interest or fees on such excess) shall not constitute
“Obligations” for purposes of the Loan Documents.

     (b) International Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each International Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.07, to make loans (each such loan, an “International Swing
Line Loan”) to the Borrower(s) and in the currency(ies) set forth in the applicable
International Swing Line Facility Notice 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
applicable International Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such International
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 such International
Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any International 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no International Swing Line
Lender shall be under any obligation to make any International Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at
that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such International Swing Line Lender has entered into
arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such International Swing
Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such
International Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.19(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from the International
Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made and all other International Swing Line Loans as to which
such International Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in
its sole discretion. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions
hereof, the applicable Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.07, prepay under
Section 2.08, and reborrow under this Section 2.07. Immediately upon the making of
an International Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the International Swing Line Lender that made such
International Swing Line Loan a risk participation in such International Swing Line Loan in an
amount

62

 

equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
International Swing Line Loan.

(c) Borrowing Procedures.

     (i) The borrowing procedures for each International Swing Line Facility shall be as
agreed to by the applicable Borrower(s) and the applicable International Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) The applicable International Swing Line Lender shall not make any International
Swing Line Loan if it has has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to the date of any
proposed Borrowing of International Swing Line Loans (A) directing such International Swing
Line Lender not to make such International Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations
set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.07(b), or (B) that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied.

(d) Refinancing of International Swing Line Loans.

     (i) Each International Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes such International 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 International Swing
Line Loan made by such International Swing Line Lender 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 applicable
International 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
(and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the
applicable International Swing Line Loan) for the account of the applicable International
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 2.07(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 applicable
International Swing Line Lender in US Dollars.

     (ii) If for any reason any International Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i), the request for
Base Rate Loans submitted by the applicable International Swing Line Lender as set forth
herein shall be deemed to be a request by such International Swing Line Lender that each of
the Lenders fund its risk participation in such International Swing Line Loan and each
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such International Swing
Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of
such participation.

63

 

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable International Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.07(c)(i), the applicable International 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 such International
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
such International 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
applicable International Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the
applicable International 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 International Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.07(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 applicable International Swing Line Lender, the applicable 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 2.07(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 each Borrower to repay International Swing Line Loans made to it,
together with interest as provided herein.

(e) Repayment of Participations.

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

     (ii) If any payment received by an International Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any International Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by
such International Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such International Swing
Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to such International 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 applicable International 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.

     (f) Interest for Account of International Swing Line Lender. Each International Swing
Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower(s) for interest on the
International Swing Line Loans made by such International Swing Line Lender. Until each Lender
funds its Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.07 to refinance
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage

64

 

of any International Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall
be solely for the account of the International Swing Line Lender that made such International Swing
Line Loan.

provisions of Section 2.03(g), the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)(i) unless after
the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments then in effect. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 2.08(b) shall be applied first, ratably to the L/C Borrowings and
the Swing Line Loans, second, to the outstanding Revolving Loans, and,
third, to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations. 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 2.08(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.

     (ii) Sale and Leaseback Transactions; Mortgage Indebtedness Issuances.
Immediately upon the receipt by the Parent or any Subsidiary of any Net Cash Proceeds from
any Sale and Leaseback Transaction or any Mortgage Indebtedness Issuance, the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as hereafter provided in an
aggregate amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

2.09 Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments; Reallocations of Swing Line
Sublimits.

     (a) 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 three (3)
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 or the Aggregate 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.

     (b) Mandatory Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.
Immediately upon the receipt by the Parent or any Subsidiary of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Sale
and Leaseback Transaction or any Mortgage Indebtedness Issuance, the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

     (c) Increase or Decrease in Swing Line Sublimits. The Parent may, at its option,
elect to increase or decrease the Domestic Swing Line Sublimit, the Australian Swing Line Sublimit,
the Danish Swing Line Sublimit and any International Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i)
the Parent shall give three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of
such election; and (ii) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Domestic Swing
Line Sublimit, the Australian Swing Line Sublimit, the Danish Swing Line Sublimit and all
International Swing Line Sublimits shall not

67

 

exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Swing Line Sublimit and (B) the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments.

2.10 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.

     (b) Swing Line Loans. Each Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan made to such
Borrower on (i) in the case of any Domestic Swing Line Loan denominated in US Dollars, the earlier
to occur of (A) the date ten Business Days after such Domestic Swing Line Loan is made and (B) the
Maturity Date, (ii) in the case of any Domestic Swing Line Loan denominated in an Alternative
Currency, the Maturity Date, (iii) in the case of any Australian Swing Line Loan, the Maturity
Date, (iv) in the case of any Danish Swing Line Loan, the Maturity Date and (v) in the case of any
International Swing Line Loan, the Maturity Date or such earlier date as may be agreed to by the
applicable Borrower(s) and the applicable International Swing Line Lender.

2.11 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 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 Domestic 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 (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate less five (5) basis
points or (B) such other rate as may be agreed to by the Domestic Swing Line Lender and the Parent;
(iv) each Domestic 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 (A)
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 or (B) such other rate as may be agreed to by the Domestic Swing Line Lender and the Parent;
(v) each Australian Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to (A) the sum of the BBR Rate
plus the Applicable Rate less five (5) basis points or (B) such other rate as may
be agreed to by the Australian Swing Line Lender and Bright Australia; (vi) each Danish Swing Line
Loan denominated in Euro shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to (A) the sum of the Daily Euro Rate
plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans less five (5) basis points or
(B) such other rate as may be agreed to by the Danish Swing Line Lender and the Danish Borrowers;
(vii) each Danish Swing Line Loan denominated in Sterling shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to (A) the
sum of the Daily Sterling Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans
less five (5) basis points or (B) such other rate as may be agreed to by the Danish Swing
Line Lender and the Danish Borrowers; and (viii) each International Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum agreed to by the
applicable Borrower(s) and the applicable International Swing Line Lender.

     (c) (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

68

 

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.

     (d) 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.

     (e) 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.

2.12 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, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 2.19. 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.

69

 

     (b) Fee Letter. The Parent shall pay to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated (successor by merger to Banc of America Securities LLC) 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.

2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

     (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans 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
2.15(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.

     (b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Parent or for any other reason, (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent
as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage
Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for any period, each Borrower shall immediately and
retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or,
after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any
Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the
amount of interest and fees that should have been paid by such Borrower for such period less the
amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the
rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under any
other provision of this Agreement.

2.14 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. 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
2.14-1, in the case of the Domestic Borrowers, and Exhibit 2.14-2, 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.

70

 

     (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.

2.15 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, 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

71

 

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 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.

2.16 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

72

 

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 or on behalf of a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a
Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section
2.18 or (C) 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 an assignment 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.

2.17 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.

     (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

73

 

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
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) Joint and Several Liability of Foreign Borrowers.

     (i) Each Foreign Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable with the other Foreign
Borrowers for all Foreign Obligations, regardless of which Foreign 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 Foreign Borrower’s obligations with respect to Credit Extensions
made to it, and each Foreign Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and
several liability of such Foreign Borrower with the other Foreign Borrowers with respect to
Credit Extensions made to and other Foreign Obligations owing by the other Foreign
Borrowers, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be
primary obligations of each Foreign Borrower.

     (ii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of
the Loan Documents:

     (A) the obligations of each Foreign 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;

74

 

     (B) the obligations of each Danish Borrower in its capacity as a joint and
several obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and arising as a
result of the joint and several liability of such Danish Borrower with the other
Foreign Borrowers with respect to Credit Extensions made to and other Foreign
Obligations owing by the other Foreign Borrowers shall be limited to the extent
required to comply with Danish Statutory Limitations and, accordingly, shall not
include, and shall not be or be construed as, any liability, in respect of:

     (x) any Acquisition Debt; or

     (y) any obligations other than Acquisition Debt of a Non Qualifying
Parent Company.

     The Limitations shall apply to any liability including security by joint
liability, indemnity, guarantee, collateral or otherwise and to subordination of
rights and claims, subordination or turn over of rights of recourse, application of
proceeds and any other means of direct and indirect financial assistance; and

     (C) the obligations of each Danish Borrower in its capacity as a joint and
several obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and arising as a
result of the joint and several liability of such Danish Borrower with the other
Foreign Borrowers with respect to Credit Extensions made to and other Foreign
Obligations owing by the other Foreign Borrowers shall at any time be limited to a
maximum amount equivalent to an amount equal to the higher of:

     (x) the Eligible Equity of such Danish Borrower on the Closing Date;
and

     (y) the Eligible Equity of such Danish Borrower on the date on which a
demand is made against such Danish Borrower for payment under the joint
liability.

     (iii) Each Foreign Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several
liability of such Foreign Borrower with the other Foreign Borrowers with respect to Credit
Extensions made to and other Foreign Obligations owing by the other Foreign 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 Foreign Borrower
or any other Foreign Loan Party or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all
or any part of the Foreign Obligations of any other Foreign Borrower or any other Foreign
Loan Party, (B) the absence of any attempt to collect the Foreign Obligations from any other
Foreign Borrower or any other Foreign 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 Foreign
Borrower or any other Foreign Loan Party, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or
hereafter executed by any other Foreign Borrower or any other Foreign 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
Foreign Borrower or any other Foreign Loan Party, or (E) any other circumstances which might
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or

75

 

of any other Foreign Borrower or any other Foreign Loan Party. With respect to each
Foreign Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of
such Foreign Borrower with the other Foreign Borrowers with respect to Credit Extensions
made to the other Foreign Borrowers hereunder, such Foreign Borrower subordinates, and
agrees not to exercise, until the Foreign Obligations shall have been paid in full, the
Commitments shall have terminated and this 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 Foreign
Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Foreign 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 Foreign Obligations or any other
liability of any Foreign 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 Foreign Borrower to collect
and recover the full amount, or any portion of, the Foreign Obligations, without first
proceeding against any other Foreign Borrower or any other Person, or against any security
or collateral for the Foreign Obligations. Each Foreign Borrower consents and agrees that
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets
in favor of any Foreign Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Foreign
Obligations.

     (v) For purposes of clarification, each Foreign Borrower (A) shall be jointly and
severally liable with the other Foreign Borrowers for only the Foreign Obligations and (B)
shall not be liable for Credit Extensions made to the Domestic Borrowers.

     (c) The Parent may at any time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written
notice from the Parent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, designate any Domestic
Subsidiary as a Domestic Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Borrower, provided
that:

(i) in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary:

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

     (B) no Lender that will make Credit Extensions to such Foreign Subsidiary has
notified the Administrative Agent in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to
the effective date of such designation that such Lender has determined in its
reasonable discretion that (1) such Lender is unable 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 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); or

     (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

76

 

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 reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

     (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall have (A) delivered to the
Administrative Agent (1) a Designated Borrower Agreement duly executed by such Subsidiary
and the Parent, (2) copies of the Organization Documents, certificates of resolutions or
other action, incumbency certificates and/or other certificates of Responsible Officers of
such Subsidiary as the Administrative Agent may require, (3) an opinion of counsel to such
Subsidiary in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (4)
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 (5) such other documents,
agreements and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (B) upon request of any
Lender, delivered to such Lender such know your customer (KYC) information that such Lender
is required to obtain under applicable Laws.

     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.

2.18 Cash Collateral.

     (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or
the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if,
as of the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers
shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request
of the Administrative Agent, a L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure
(after giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the
Defaulting Lender).

     (b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not
constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit
accounts at Bank of America. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender,
hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lenders), and agrees
to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of
the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.18(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash
Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable
Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting
Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative
Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

77

 

     (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.18 or Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.19 or
9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the
satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations
therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on
such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any
other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

     (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce
Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of
the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the
termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee
following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good
faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that
Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the
continuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.18 may be
otherwise applied in accordance with Section 9.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash
Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or applicable Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree
that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting
Exposure or other obligations.

2.19 Defaulting Lenders.

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

     (i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be
restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.

     (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts owing under the Loan Documents and received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant
to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be
applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that
Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lenders hereunder; third, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by a L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender,
to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of
any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Parent may
request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent
and the Parent, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order
to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth,
to the payment of any amounts owing to any Lender, the L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lenders as
a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Lender, such
L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no
Default exists, to the payment of

78

 

any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans
or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders
on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings
owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable
to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender
or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid
to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

     (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (A) shall not be entitled to
receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (B) shall be limited in its right
to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(i).

     (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the
amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03,
2.04, 2.05, 2.06 and 2.07, the “Applicable Percentage” of
each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that
Defaulting Lender; provided that (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect
only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default exists;
and (B) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive
difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2)
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

     (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swing
Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender
should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the
parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any
conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),
that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other
Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to
cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without
giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided; further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

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 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.

80

 

     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,

     (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 Fourth Amendment Effective 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 Fourth Amendment Effective 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.

81

 

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 Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate (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, (a) 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 and
(b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the
interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base
Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurency Rate
component of the Base Rate, in each case 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, (x) each Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate
Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to
the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), 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 and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest
rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such
suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency
Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it
is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurocurrency Rate. 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 or in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan or in connection with a 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, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the
affected currency or currencies shall be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination
described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base
Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be
suspended, in each case 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

82

 

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, BBR Rate Loan or Daily 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

     (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, BBR
Rate Loans or Daily 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, BBR Rate Loan, Daily Rate Loan or Base
Rate Loan the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate
component of the Base Rate (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

83

 

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:

     (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;

     (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; or

     (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefore as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
11.13;

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

84

 

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 any 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, any L/C Issuer or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or any
Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as
applicable, 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 or such L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, 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 or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as
the case may be. The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer 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, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and
resignation of the Administrative Agent.

4.02 Limitations on Guaranty.

     (a) All Guarantors. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or
in any other of the Loan Documents or any other document relating to the Obligations, the
obligations of each 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.

     (b) Danish Guarantors. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein
or in any other of the Loan Documents or any other document relating to the Obligations:

     (i) the obligations of each Danish Guarantor (in its capacity as such) under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the extent required to comply
with the Danish Statutory Limitations and, accordingly, shall not include, and shall not be
or be construed as, any obligations or liability in respect of:

(A) any Acquisition Debt; or

     (B) any obligations other than Acquisition Debt of a Non Qualifying Parent
Company.

     The Danish Statutory Limitations shall apply to any obligations or liability including
security by indemnity, guarantee, collateral or otherwise and to subordination of rights and
claims, subordination or turn over of rights of recourse, application of proceeds and any
other means of direct and indirect financial assistance;

     (ii) the obligations of each Danish Guarantor (in its capacity as such) shall at any
time be limited to a maximum amount equivalent to an amount equal to the higher of:

(A) the Eligible Equity of such Danish Guarantor on the Closing Date; and

     (B) the Eligible Equity of such Danish Guarantor on the date on which a demand
is made against the Danish Guarantor for payment under this Guaranty.

     (c) German Guarantors. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein
or in any other of the Loan Documents or any other document relating to the Obligations:

     (i) to the extent that the Guaranty and/or any other joint and several liability or
indemnity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is granted by a German Guarantor

86

 

(the “German Guaranty”) and the German Guaranty of such German Guarantor
guarantees amounts:

     (A) which are owed by direct or indirect shareholders of such German Guarantor
or Subsidiaries of such shareholders (with the exception of Subsidiaries which are
wholly owned subsidiaries of such German Guarantor); and

     (B) such amounts do not correspond to funds that have been borrowed under this
Agreement and have been on-lent to, or otherwise been passed on to, such German
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries,

     then the German Guaranty of such German Guarantor shall be subject to certain
limitations as set out in clause (ii) below. In relation to any other amounts guaranteed,
the German Guaranty of such German Guarantor remains unlimited.

     (ii) to the extent that the demand under the German Guaranty against such German
Guarantor is made in respect of amounts in relation to which the conditions pursuant to
clause (i) are fulfilled, such German Guarantor’s liability shall be limited as follows:

     (A) Subject to clauses (B) and (C) below, the Administrative Agent shall not be
entitled to enforce the German Guaranty of such German Guarantor to the extent that
such German Guarantor is able to demonstrate that such enforcement has the effect
of:

          (x) reducing such German Guarantor’s net assets (Nettovermögen) (the “Net
Assets”) to an amount less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital); or

          (y) (if its Net Assets are already lower than its stated share capital) causing
such amount to be further reduced;

     and thereby affects its assets which are required for the obligatory
preservation of its stated share capital according to §§ 30, 31 German GmbH-Act
(GmbH-Gesetz) (the “GmbH-Act”). For determining whether the limitation set
out in this clause (ii) applies, any recourse claim (Rückgriffsanspruch) which such
German Guarantor has or would acquire as a result of the enforcement of the German
Guaranty, shall be taken into account to the extent that such recourse claim is
valuable (vollwertig) and the raising of such recourse claim is neither permanently
nor temporarily prohibited under the Loan Documents.

     (B) The value of the Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with
(generally accepted accounting principles (Grundsätze ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung)
under the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch)) consistently applied by such
German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss
according to § 42 GmbH-Act, §§ 242, 264 HGB) in the previous years, save that:

     (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital
(Stammkapital) of such German Guarantor registered after the date of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be deducted from the relevant stated share capital;

87

 

     (y) loans provided to such German Guarantor by the Parent or any
Subsidiary shall be disregarded if such loans are subordinated in the
meaning of 39 para. 2 German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung); and

     (z) loans and other liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions
of this Agreement shall be disregarded.

     (iii) The limitation set out in clause (ii) above shall only apply if and to the extent
that the managing director(s) (Geschäftsführer) on behalf of such German Guarantor have
confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days following the
Administrative Agent’s demand under the German Guaranty of such German Guarantor, to what
extent the demanded payment fulfils the conditions pursuant to clause (i) and would cause
its Net Assets to fall below its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or, if the Net Assets
are already less than the stated share capital (Stammkapital), would cause such amount to be
further reduced (the “Management Determination”).

     (iv) If the Administrative Agent disagrees with the Management Determination, the
Administrative Agent shall nevertheless be entitled to enforce the German Guaranty of such
German Guarantor up to such amount, which is undisputed between itself and such German
Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of clause (iii) above. In relation to the amount
which is disputed, the Administrative Agent and such German Guarantor shall instruct a firm
of auditors of international standing and reputation to determine within 30 calendar days
(or such longer period as has been agreed between such German Guarantor and the
Administrative Agent) from the date the Administrative Agent has contested the Management
Determination the value of available Net Assets (the “Auditor’s Determination”). If
the Administrative Agent and such German Guarantor do not agree on the appointment of a
joint auditor within 5 Business Days from the date the Administrative Agent has disputed the
Management Determination, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to appoint auditors of
international standing and reputation in its sole discretion. The amount determined as
available in the Auditor’s Determination shall be (except for manifest error) binding for
all the parties hereto. The costs of the Auditor’s Determination shall be borne by the
Parent.

     (v) If, and to the extent that, the German Guaranty of such German Guarantor has been
enforced without regard to the limitation set forth in clause (ii) because (A) the
Management Determination was not delivered within the relevant time frame or (B) the amount
of the available Net Assets pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination is lower than the amount
stated in the Management Determination, the Lenders shall upon written demand of such German
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) repay any amount (if and to
the extent already paid to the Lenders) in the case of (A) above, which is necessary to
maintain such German Guarantor’s stated share capital (Stammkapital), and in the case of (B)
above up to and including the amount calculated in the Auditor’s Determination calculated as
of the date the demand under such German Guaranty was made and in accordance with clauses
(ii) and (iii) above, provided such demand for repayment is made to the Administrative Agent
within 6 months (Ausschlussfrist) from the date such German Guaranty has been enforced.

     If pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination the amount of the available Net Assets is
higher than set out in the Management Determination such German Guarantor shall pay such
amount to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations,
within 5 Business Days after receipt of the Auditor’s Determination.

88

 

     (vi) The limitation set out in clause (ii) does not affect the right of the
Administrative Agent or any holder of the Obligations to claim again any outstanding amount
at a later point in time if and to the extent that clause (ii) would allow this at that
later point.

     (vii) If such German Guarantor intends to demonstrate that the enforcement of the
German Guaranty of such German Guarantor has led to one of the effects referred to in clause
(ii), then such German Guarantor shall realise at market value any and all of its assets
that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) which are (in the opinion
of the Administrative Agent) significantly lower than their market value and to the extent
that such assets are not necessary for such German Guarantor’s business (nicht
betriebsnotwendig), to the extent necessary to satisfy the amounts demanded under such
German Guaranty.

     (viii) The limitation set out in clause (ii) does not apply to any amount payable under
the German Guaranty if and as long as a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement
in accordance with § 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, the
“AktG”) between such German Guarantor and any direct or indirect shareholder of such
German Guarantor or subsidiary of the shareholder as dominating entity (herrschendes
Unternehmen, the “Dominating Entity”) is in existence.

However, the Lenders agree to repay any amount received from the German Guarantor due to the
preceding sentence if and to the extent the German Guarantor is not able to recover the
annual loss (Jahresfehlbetrag) which the Dominating Entity is obliged to pay pursuant to §
302 AktG, due to the fact that the Dominating Entity is unable to fulfill its obligations
pursuant to § 302 AktG when they fall due (zahlungsunfähig) or the Dominating Entity is
over-indebted (überschuldet).

If such German Guarantor intends to claim back any amounts pursuant to the preceding
sentence, such demand must be made in writing addressed to the Administrative Agent within
one month after the settlement of the annual financial statements (Feststellung des
Jahresabschlusses), however no later than six months after the end of the relevant financial
year (Ausschlussfrist). Together with the demand for repayment, such German Guarantor is
obliged to provide evidence satisfactory to the Aministrative Agent that the Dominating
Entity is unable to fulfill its obligations pursuant to § 302 AktG, in particular by
submission of audited financial statements and/or of an excerpt from the commercial register
proving that the Dominating Entity has filed for insolvency. Upon receipt of such demand
together with such evidence, the Lenders are obliged to repay any amount required to cover
the annual loss (Jahresfehlbetrag) within 20 Business Days if and to the extent this amount
is not paid by the Dominating Entity, provided however that the Lenders shall in no event be
obliged to pay an amount exceeding the amount received from the enforcement of such German
Guaranty by the Administrative Agent.

This Section 4.02(c) shall apply mutatis mutandis if the German Guaranty is granted
by a German Guarantor organized as a limited liability partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) in
relation to the limited liability company as general partner (Komplementär) of such German
Guarantor.

Guarantor); or

     (vi) the change in any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any
other event affecting any term of any Obligation or any Lender’s rights with respect

90

 

     (d) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each 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.

jurisdiction of organization, (B) number of shares of each class of Equity Interests
outstanding, and (C) number and percentage of outstanding shares of each class owned

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
favorable opinions of counsel, all in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent; and

be required to become a Foreign Guarantor. However, as soon as practicable, the Parent and its
Subsidiaries shall take any reasonable steps available to them to avoid any such unlawfulness or
personal liability (including by complying with any procedure under any law such as under section
208(1)(a) or section 260B of the Corporations Act (Commonwealth of Australia) or by agreeing to a
limit on the amount guaranteed). Before taking any steps, the Loan Parties must obtain the consent
of the Administrative Agent.

     If any Foreign Subsidiary becomes a Foreign Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7.12(b)
but at any time thereafter is no longer a Material Foreign Subsidiary, such Foreign Subsidiary may,
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
Subordinated Indebtedness issued by, or Guaranteed by, any Loan Party, such Subsidiary shall,

Administrative Agent.

consequences) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the

documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the
foregoing, including, without limitation, opinions of counsel and any filings and deliveries
reasonably necessary in connection therewith to perfect the security interests therein, all

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

124

 

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.

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

125

 

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 (or, if applicable, its Affiliate’s) resignation as L/C Issuer, Domestic Swing Line
Lender, Australian Swing Line Lender, Danish Swing Line Lender and, if Bank of America (or an
Affiliate) is an International Swing Line Lender, such International 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, Domestic Swing Line Lender, Australian Swing Line Lender and Danish Swing Line Lender,
(ii) the retiring L/C Issuer, Domestic Swing Line Lender, Australian Swing Line Lender and Danish
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 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

126

 

Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j),2.12 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 2.12 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,
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,
payment in full of all Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations) and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in
writing by the holder of such Obligation that such Obligation is then due and payable 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 approved in accordance
with Section 11.01;

     (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted
by Section 8.01(i);

     (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

     (d) to enter into and perform its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreements.

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.

may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (B) any waiver, amendment
or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms
affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent
of such Defaulting Lender, (iii) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative
Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any L/C
Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has

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 and the Swing Line Lenders may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for

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,

Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at

declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in
accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United
States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal or state securities laws.

     (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 and Swing Line Loan 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

recording.

131

 

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 (including the imposition of the Default Rate) 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.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and
all the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a)
the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to
its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.16), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing
pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under
any Debtor Relief Law; and provided further, that if at any time there is no Person
acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required
Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 9.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of
the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.16, any Lender may, with the consent of the
Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required
Lenders.

     (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),

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

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

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.

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

132

 

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 (including in respect of any matters
addressed in Section 3.01), (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 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 2.15(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 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.

133

 

     (e) Limitation On Indemnity by Foreign Borrowers. No Foreign Borrower shall be liable
for the Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Parent or any Domestic Subsidiary.

     (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.

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 directly affected thereby 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:

134

 

(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).

     (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 apply to any Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

     (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; provided that the Parent shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after
having received notice thereof;

     (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, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 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
 

135

 

the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether
or not then outstanding); and

     (D) the consent of the Domestic Swing Line Lender (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.

     (viii) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to
any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries.

     (ix) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective
unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties
to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright
payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not
funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and
interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share
of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with
its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment
of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee
of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement until such compliance occurs.

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 Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the

136

 

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 (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on
the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as
a Defaulting Lender. The 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, a Defaulting Lender 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
the first proviso 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 2.16 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.

137

 

     (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) Resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lenders 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 Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as
L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender, the Parent shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a
successor L/C Issuer or 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 or 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 Swing Line Lender, it shall
retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line
Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right
to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing
Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(c), 2.06(c) or
2.07(c), as applicable. Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or 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 or 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, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any 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 any
Eligible Assignee invited to become a Lender pursuant to Section 2.01(b) 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.

138

 

     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 (excluding obligations in respect to Swap Contracts and Treasury Management Agreements)
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; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right
of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent
for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19 and, pending such
payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender
shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the
Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 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.

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

139

 

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 or other electronic imaging means 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.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that
the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be
limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the
applicable L/C Issuer or the applicable Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions
shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

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 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)
or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the

140

 

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
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE

141

 

SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN

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

that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the

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 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

143

 

each Intercreditor Agreement and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each
Intercreditor Agreement.

11.20 Subordination of Intercompany Debt.

     With respect to any Indebtedness owing by any Domestic Loan Party (the “Maker”) to any
Foreign Loan Party (the “Holder”):

     (a) The Holder agrees that all obligations of the Maker in respect of the principal, interest,
fees and charges on any such Indebtedness (the “Subordinated Obligations”) shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
to all Obligations.

     (b) In the event that the Maker makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or an
order, judgment or decree is entered adjudicating the Maker bankrupt or insolvent; or any order for
relief with respect to the Maker is entered under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; or the Maker
petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver or
liquidator of the Maker or of any substantial part of the assets of the Maker, or commences any
proceeding relating to the Maker under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction; or any such petition or
application is filed, or any such proceeding is commenced, against the Maker (collectively referred
to as an “Insolvency Event”), or upon any acceleration of the Credit Obligations, then:

     (i) the holders of the Obligations shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash
of all principal, premium, interest, fees, charges and other amounts then due on all
Obligations (including interest, fees, charges and other amounts accruing thereon after the
commencement of any such Insolvency Event at the rate provided in the documents relating to
such Obligations (irrespective of whether such interest, fees, charges or other amounts are
allowed as a claim in such proceedings)) before the Holder is entitled to receive any
payment of any kind or character on account of principal, interest or other amounts due (or
past due) upon the Subordinated Obligations, and the holders of the Obligations shall be
entitled to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities or by set-off or otherwise, which
may be payable or deliverable in any such proceedings in respect of the Subordinated
Obligations; and

     (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of the Maker of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holder would be entitled except for
the provisions of this Section 11.19 shall be paid or delivered by the Maker (or any
receiver or trustee in such proceedings) directly to the holders of the Obligations or their
duly appointed agents for application of payment to the Obligations until all Obligations
(including interest, fees, charges and other amounts accrued thereon after the date of
commencement of such proceedings at the rate provided in the documentation for such
Obligations (irrespective of whether such interest, fees, charges or other amounts are
allowed as a claim in such proceedings)) shall have been paid in full in cash.

     (c) In any proceedings with respect to any Insolvency Event, or the application of the assets
of the Maker to the payment or liquidation thereof; or upon the dissolution or other winding up of
the business of the Maker or upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker,
then, and in any such event, (i) each holder of the Obligations shall be entitled to receive full
and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in cash of the Obligations prior to the payment of all or
any part of the Subordinated Obligations by the Maker and (ii) any payment or distribution of any
kind or character from the Maker of its assets, whether in cash, securities or other property,
which shall be payable or deliverable

144

 

upon or with respect to any or all of the Obligations, shall be paid or delivered directly to
holders of the Obligations for application to the Obligations, due or not due, until the
Obligations shall have first been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash and all commitments to make
extensions of credit under any documents related to the Obligations have terminated. The Holder
irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians,
conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and
distributions. The Holder agrees not to initiate or prosecute or encourage any other person to
initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability of the
Obligations or any liens and security interests securing the Obligations. The Holder agrees to
execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in
connection with any such proceeding, it being understood that the Holder retains its right to vote
such claims in any such proceeding. The Obligations shall continue to be treated as Obligations
and the provisions of this Section 11.19 shall continue to cover the relative rights and
priorities of the holders of the Obligations and the Holder even if all or part of the Obligations
or the security interests securing the Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided or
disallowed in connection with any such proceeding and this Section 11.19 shall be
reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by any holder of Obligations or any representative of such holder.

     (d) The Maker may make payments of the Subordinated Obligations so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing. During the existence of an Event of Default, no payment or
prepayment of the Subordinated Obligations (whether principal, interest or other amounts) shall be
made by or on behalf of the Maker.

     (e) If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.19, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character (whether in cash, securities or other property) or any
security shall be received by the Holder in contravention of this Section 11.19 and before
all the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and all commitments to make extensions of
credit under all documents relating to the Obligations have been terminated, such payment,
distribution or security shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid
over or delivered or transferred to, the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations in
accordance with Section 9.03 until the Obligations has been paid in full in cash. Any such
payments received by the Holder and delivered to the holders of the Obligations shall be deemed not
to be a payment on the Subordinated Obligations for any reason whatsoever and the Subordinated
Obligations shall remain as if such erroneous payment had never been paid by the Maker or received
by the Holder. In the event of the failure of any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment,
distribution or security, each holder of any Obligations is hereby irrevocably authorized to
endorse or assign the same.

(f) If any payment or distribution to which any Holder would otherwise have been entitled but for
the provisions of this Section 11.19 shall have been applied pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 11.19 to the payment of Obligations, then and in such case and to such extent,
the Holder (A) following payment in full of the Obligations in cash and termination of all
commitments to make extensions of credit under all documents relating to the Obligations, shall be
entitled to receive any and all further payments or distributions applicable to Obligations, and
(B) following payment in full of the Obligations in cash and termination of all commitments to make
extensions of credit under all documents relating to the Obligations, shall be subrogated to the
rights of the holders of the Obligations to receive distributions applicable to the Obligations, in
each case until the Subordinated Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash or such other
consideration acceptable to the Holder in its sole discretion.

11.21 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

     The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall
be

145

 

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.

Schedule 1.01

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

	1.	 	The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to
compensate Lenders for the cost (the “Mandatory Cost”) of compliance with:

	 	(a)	 	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority
(or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions);
or

	 	(b)	 	the requirements of the European Central Bank.

	2.	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as practicable thereafter) the
Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost
Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory
Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’
Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender
in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The
Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Parent or any Lender, deliver to the Parent
or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory
Cost.

	3.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating
Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This
percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent as the
cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in all Loans made from such
Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central
Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office.

	4.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom
will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

	 	(a)	 	in relation to any Loan in Sterling:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 
	 	AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	100 - (A+C)	 	percent per annum

	 	(b)	 	in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	 
	 	E x 0.01	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	300	 	percent per annum 

Where:

	 	 	 	“A” is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of
any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an
interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio
requirements.
	 
	 	 	 	“B” is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate, the
Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 2.08(b) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue
amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate
effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period
of such Loan.

 

 

	 	 	“C” is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is
required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the
Bank of England.
	 
	 	 	“D” is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the
Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	 
	 	 	“E” is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees
Regulations and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the
most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

	5.	 	For the purposes of this Schedule:

	 	(a)	 	“Additional Cost Rate” has the meaning provided in paragraph 2 above;
	 
	 	(b)	 	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings
given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or
(as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	 
	 	(c)	 	“Fees Regulations” means the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law
or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees
for the acceptance of deposits;
	 
	 	(d)	 	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Regulations
under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated
fee required pursuant to the Fees Regulations but taking into account any applicable
discount rate);
	 
	 	(e)	 	“Mandatory Cost” has the meaning provided in paragraph 1 above; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

	6.	 	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as
percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative
result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall
be rounded to four decimal places.
	 
	7.	 	If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Parent, each Lender with a Lending Office in
the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after
publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent and the
Parent the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant
to the Fees Regulations in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services
Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs
applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of
the Tariff Base of such Lender.
	 
	8.	 	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose
of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender
shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes
a Lender:

 

 

	 	(a)	 	its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of the Lending Office
out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for
such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the
information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

	9.	 	The percentages or rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of A, C and E above shall
be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant
to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to
cash ratio deposits, Special Deposits and the Fees Regulations are the same as those of a
typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Lending Office in the same
jurisdiction as such Lender’s Lending Office.

	10.	 	The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results
in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled
to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3,
7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

	11.	 	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the
Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based
on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and
8 above.

	12.	 	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a
formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit
Agreement.

	13.	 	The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the
Lenders, determine and notify all parties to the Credit Agreement of any amendments which are
required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any
requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or
the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its
functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

     (a) Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Maker in
respect of the principal, interest, fees and charges on this Note shall be subordinate and junior
in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Debt.

     (b) In the event that the Maker makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or an
order, judgment or decree is entered adjudicating the Maker bankrupt or insolvent; or any order for
relief with respect to the Maker is entered under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; or the Maker
petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver or
liquidator of the Maker or of any substantial part of the assets of the Maker, or commences any
proceeding relating to the Maker under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction; or any such petition or
application is filed, or any such proceeding is commenced, against the Maker (collectively referred
to as an “Insolvency Event”), or upon any acceleration of Senior Debt, then:

     (i) the holders of the Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash
of all principal, premium, interest, fees, charges and other amounts then due on all Senior
Debt (including interest, fees, charges and other amounts accruing thereon after the
commencement of any such Insolvency Event at the rate provided in the documentation for such
Senior Debt (irrespective of whether such interest, fees, charges or other amounts are
allowed as a claim in such proceedings)) before the holder of this Note is entitled to
receive any payment of any kind or character on account of principal, interest or other
amounts due (or past due) upon this Note, and the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled
to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities or by set-off or otherwise, which may be

     (ii) any payment or distribution of assets of the Maker of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holder of this Note would be entitled

Debt (irrespective of whether such interest, fees, charges or other amounts are allowed as a
claim in such proceedings)) shall have been paid in full in cash.

     (c) In any proceedings with respect to any Insolvency Event, or the application of the assets

proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt in connection with any such proceeding, it

the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such
proceeding and this Note shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative of
such holder.

     (d) The Maker may make payments of principal, interest or other amounts on this Note so long
as no Senior Default has occurred and is continuing (the “Blockage Period”). During a
Blockage Period no payment or prepayment of principal, interest or other amounts on this Note shall
be made by or on behalf of the Maker.

     (e) Except as permitted herein, no holder of this Note will, except as otherwise agreed to by
the holders of Senior Debt, ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from the Maker, by set off or in
any other manner, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Debt (whether such amounts represent
principal or interest, or obligations which are due or not due, including costs, fees and expenses
with respect to the Notes, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent), including, without
limitation, the taking of any negotiable instruments evidencing such Subordinated Debt nor any
security for any Subordinated Debt, unless and until all Senior Debt, whether now existing or
hereafter arising directly between the Maker and any holder of the Senior Debt, or acquired
outright, conditionally or as collateral security from another by any holder the Senior Debt, shall
have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash and satisfied and all commitments to make
extensions of credit under any Senior Debt Document have been terminated.

     (f) The holders of Senior Debt may, at any time, in their discretion, renew, amend, increase,
extend or otherwise modify the terms and provisions of Senior Debt so held or exercise any of their

for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered or transferred to, the Senior
Debt Representative to be applied to the Senior Debt in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Senior

Note), the commencement of any foreclosure on any lien or security interest, the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy or the taking advantage of any other insolvency law of any jurisdiction,
unless one or more of the holders of the Senior Debt shall have accelerated the maturity of the
Senior Debt in which case the holder of this Note shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity
hereof but shall not be entitled to take any other action described above and, provided further,
that the holder of this Note acknowledges and agrees that the acceleration of this Note shall
immediately be reversed if and when (A) the holders of Senior Debt take similar action or (B) such

action taken by the holder of this Note, the holder of this Note shall not be entitled to receive
any payment in contravention of the other provisions of this Section __.

     (j) If any payment or distribution to which any holder of this Note would otherwise have been
entitled but for the provisions of this Section __ shall have been applied pursuant to the

holders of the Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to the Senior Debt, in each case

assurance as to this Note, from the Maker or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Maker, and will not
initiate or prosecute, or encourage any other person to initiate or prosecute any claim or other
proceeding.

rights of the holders of Senior Debt, on the one hand, and the holder of this Note on the other,
against the Maker and its assets, and nothing herein is intended to or shall impair, as between the
Maker and the holder of this Note, the obligations of the Maker which are absolute and

in respect of cash, property or securities of the Maker received upon the exercise of any such
remedy and subject to this Section __.
