Section 1.3 Accounting Terms.

Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all
accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements required to be
delivered hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with
the most recent audited financial statements with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
delivered to the Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement; provided that
if, after the Closing Date, the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower
requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after
the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any
provision hereof for such

 

25

 

purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such
provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before
such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such
provision amended in accordance herewith. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
and each Lender at the same time as the delivery of any annual financial statements given in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1, a description in reasonable detail of any material
change in the application of accounting principles employed in the preparation of such financial
statements from those applied in the most recently preceding annual financial statements as to
which no objection shall have been made in accordance with the provisions above. The Borrower’s
delivery obligation set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed satisfied to
the extent such description is included in the financial statements delivered to the Administrative
Agent and Lenders pursuant hereto or in the Borrower’s reports filed with the SEC as part of or
contemporaneously with the Borrower’s financial statements.

ARTICLE II

THE LOANS; AMOUNT AND TERMS

Section 2.1 Loans.

(a) Commitment. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving loans in Dollars (individually a
“Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time in an
aggregate principal amount of up to the Aggregate Committed Amount for the purposes hereinafter
set forth; provided, however, that (i) with respect to each Lender individually,
the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Loans plus LOC
Obligations, shall not exceed such Lender’s Committed Amount, and (ii) with respect to the
Lenders collectively, the aggregate principal amount of Loans plus LOC Obligations shall
not exceed the Aggregate Committed Amount. The Loans may consist of LIBOR Rate Loans or LMI Rate
Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request. Loans may be repaid and reborrowed
in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) Loan Borrowings.

(i) Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower may request a Loan borrowing by
delivering a Notice of Borrowing (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by delivery of a
Notice of Borrowing, which delivery may be by fax) to the Administrative Agent not later
than 12:00 P.M. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the date of the requested borrowing for
LMI Rate Loans and at least two (2) Business Days before the required borrowing for LIBOR
Rate Loans. Each such request for borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the
Borrower, (B) that a Loan is requested, (C) the date of the requested borrowing (which shall
be a Business Day), and (D) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed. The
Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Lender, promptly upon receipt of each Notice
of Borrowing, of the contents thereof and each such Lender’s share thereof.

 

26

 

(ii) Minimum Amounts. Each Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of
$2,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining amount
of the Aggregate Committed Amount, if less).

(iii) Advances. Each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Loan
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, in Dollars
and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office by 3:00 P.M. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the date specified in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the
Administrative Agent’s Office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent.

(c) Repayment. The principal amount of all Loans shall be due and payable in full
on the Commitment Termination Date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 7.2.

(d) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, each Loan shall bear
interest as follows:

(i) LIBOR Rate Loans. During such periods as a Loan shall be comprised of
LIBOR Rate Loans, each such LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to
the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus 0.95% per annum; and

(ii) LMI Rate Loans. During such periods a Loan shall be comprised of LMI Rate
Loans, each such LMI Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of
the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 0.95% per annum.

Interest on each Loan (and each LIBOR Rate Loan thereunder) shall be payable in arrears on each
related Interest Payment Date.

(e) Notes. Each Lender’s Committed Amount shall be evidenced, upon such Lender’s
request, by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to such Lender in substantially the
form of Exhibit B.

(f) Automatic Deduction of Payments. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs
Wells Fargo to deduct all payments of principal and interest on the Loans, when due, from the
Borrower’s deposit accounts with Wells Fargo, and the Borrower hereby consents to such
deductions. The Borrower agrees to cause the balances in the Borrower’s deposit account to be
sufficient to cover principal and interest payments on the Loans due hereunder.

Section 2.2 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents,
if any, and any other terms and conditions which the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, the
Issuing Lender shall issue, and the Lenders shall participate in, Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower from time to time upon request in a form acceptable
to Issuing Lender; provided, however, that, with regard to the issuance of
any Letter of Credit, (A) such Letter of Credit shall be issued during the Commitment Period, (B)
Loans plus LOC Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Committed Amount, (C) no Letter
of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than 365 days after the date it is issued or
that is extending beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment
Termination Date, and (D) the LOC Obligations shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the LOC
Sublimit.

 

27

 

Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Document, provided that, to the
extent of any conflict between any LOC Document and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall control. The issuance and expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day.
Any Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be issued for lawful corporate purposes in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

If, at the time of issuance or renewal of any Letter of Credit, any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not issue or renew any Letter of Credit unless the Issuing
Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to
the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the
Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section
2.18(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 LOC Obligations as to which the
Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(b) Notice and Reports. The request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be
submitted to the Issuing Lender at least four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of
issuance. The Issuing Lender will promptly upon request provide to the Administrative Agent for
dissemination to the Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then
issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the
date of any prior report, and including therein, among other things, the account party, the
beneficiary, the face amount, expiry date as well as any payments or expirations which may have
occurred. The Issuing Lender will further provide to the Administrative Agent promptly upon
request copies of the Letters of Credit. The Issuing Lender will provide to the Administrative
Agent promptly upon request a summary report of the nature and extent of LOC Obligations.

(c) Participations. Each Lender, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, shall
be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the Issuing Lender in such
Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in
each case in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of
Credit and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not
as surety, and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its
Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting
the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that
the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under any LOC Document, each
such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender its Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed
drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by the Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed
drawing pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) hereof if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M. (Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania time), otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon (Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. The
obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other
occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with
interest as hereinafter provided.

 

28

 

(d) Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Unless the
Borrower shall promptly notify the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of its intention
to reimburse the Issuing Lender directly for such drawing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested an LOC Mandatory Borrowing in the amount of the drawing as provided in subsection (e)
hereof, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the reimbursement obligations. If the
Borrower elects to reimburse the Issuing Lender directly, it shall do so on the date of such
drawing under the applicable Letter of Credit in same day funds (and Section 2.9 shall not be
applicable to such direct reimbursement to the Issuing Lender). If the Borrower shall fail,
after giving such notice, to directly reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided herein, the
unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate two percent (2%)
greater than the rate which would otherwise be applicable to Loan for so long as such amount
shall be unreimbursed. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of set-off, counterclaim or
defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn upon or any other Person,
including without limitation any defense based on any failure of the Borrower to receive
consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of Credit.
The Issuing Lender will promptly notify the applicable Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed
drawing and each applicable Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day such
notice is received by such Lender from the Issuing Lender if such notice is received at or before
2:00 P.M. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time), otherwise such payment shall be made at or before
12:00 Noon (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the Business Day next succeeding the day such
notice is received. If such Lender does not pay such amount to the Issuing Lender in full upon
such request, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing
until such Lender pays such amount to the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if
paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of drawing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and
thereafter at a per annum rate 2% greater than the rate which would otherwise be applicable to
Loan. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the
Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by
any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Agreement or the
Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the
Obligations hereunder and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever.

 

29

 

(e) Repayment with Loans. On any day on which the Borrower shall have requested, or
been deemed to have requested, a Loan, to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the
Administrative Agent shall give notice to the applicable Lenders that such a Loan has been
requested or deemed requested in connection with a drawing under such Letter of Credit, in which
case either a Loan borrowing comprised entirely of LMI Rate Loans (each such borrowing, a
“LOC Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be immediately made (without giving effect to any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2) pro rata based on each Lender’s
respective Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the
Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2). The proceeds of such LOC Mandatory Borrowing shall be paid
directly to the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Loans immediately upon any such request or deemed request
on account of each LOC Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the
preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (i) the amount of LOC Mandatory
Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Loans otherwise required
hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether
a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or deemed request
for such Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b), (v) the date of such
LOC Mandatory Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the amount of any Commitment after any such
Letter of Credit may have been drawn upon. In the event that any LOC Mandatory Borrowing cannot
for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a
result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each applicable
Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the date the LOC Mandatory Borrowing
would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or
after such date and prior to such purchase) its Participation Interests in the applicable LOC
Obligations; provided, further, that in the event any such Lender shall fail to fund its
Participation Interest on the day the LOC Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, then
the amount of such Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear interest payable
by such Lender to the Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2)
Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to
at a per annum rate 2% greater than the rate which would otherwise be applicable to a Loan.

(f) Modification, Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification,
amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated
in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.

(g) Letter of Credit Governing Law. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of “International
Standby Practices 1998” as most recently published by the Institute of International Banking Law
& Practice at the time of issuance, shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

 

30

 

(h) Cash Collateral.

(i) Cash Collateral Requirements. If any Letters of Credit remain outstanding
after the end of the Commitment Period, Borrower will deliver cash or cash equivalents to
the Issuing Lender equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the face amount of all
such Letters of Credit, to be held by the Issuing Lender as cash collateral for LOC
Obligations related to such outstanding Letters of Credit. Such cash collateral amount
shall be reduced and the excess collateral returned to the Borrower, as Letters of Credit
are reduced or terminated. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender,
immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover
all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any cash collateral
provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii) 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 Wells Fargo, with the interest accruing for the account of the
Borrower, and the type of account and interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion. The Borrower, 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 Issuing Lender and the 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 this Agreement. 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 Borrower 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.

(iii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, cash collateral provided under any of this Section 2.2(h) or Sections 2.2(a), 2.5
or 7.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the
specific LOC Obligations, obligations to fund Participation Interests (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.

(iv) 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 9.6(i))) 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 Credit
Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and
following application as provided in this Section 2.2(h) may be otherwise applied in
accordance with Section 2.9(b)), and (y) the Person providing cash collateral and the
Issuing Lender may agree that cash collateral shall not be released but instead held to
support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

 

31

 

Section 2.3 Fees.

(a) Letter of Credit Fee; Letter of Credit Negotiation Fee. In consideration of the
LOC Commitment, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender (i) a fee (each, a “Letter
of Credit Fee” and collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”) equal to 0.95% per
annum on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of
Credit from the date of issuance to the date of expiration and (ii) a negotiation fee (each, a
“Letter of Credit Negotiation Fee” and collectively, the “Letter of Credit
Negotiation Fees”) equal to 0.25% of the amount drawn on any commercial Letter of Credit
issued by the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly upon receipt from the Borrower,
pay over to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (including Wells
Fargo) in accordance with their respective Commitments, each Letter of Credit Fee and each Letter
of Credit Negotiation Fee; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit Fees and Letter
of Credit Negotiation Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect
to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral
satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be payable, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward
adjustments in their respective Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing
Lender for its own account. Each Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable in advance at the time of
issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit and thereafter, on each date of renewal of such
Letter of Credit to the date of expiration. Each Letter of Credit Negotiation Fee shall be
payable at the time of any draw under the applicable Letter of Credit.

(b) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees and Letter of
Credit Negotiation Fees payable pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the
Issuing Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders the reasonable and
customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance,
amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, any
Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”).

(c) Unused Fee. In consideration of the Commitments, the Borrower agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments a commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.25%
per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Committed Amount. For purposes of
computation of the Unused Fee, LOC Obligations shall be considered usage of the Aggregate
Committed Amount. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day
of each calendar quarter.

(d) Closing Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments a closing fee in
an amount equal to $100,000 payable on the Closing Date. Such fee shall be fully earned when
paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(e) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
as applicable, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the
amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall
not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

32

 

Section 2.4 Commitment Reductions.

(a) Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or
permanently reduce the unused portion of the Aggregate Committed Amount at any time or from time
to time upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent
(which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such termination or
reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such
reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof, shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and
shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount during each of the High Commitment Period, Medium
Commitment Period and Low Commitment Period, provided that no such reduction or
termination of the Aggregate Committed Amount shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto,
and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of Loans
plus LOC Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Committed Amount.

(b) Commitment Termination Date. The Commitments and LOC Commitment shall
automatically terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.5 Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Loan in
whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial
prepayment of such Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples
of $100,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall give three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent of any such prepayment (which shall notify the Lenders thereof
as soon as practicable). All prepayments under this Section 2.5(a) shall be subject to Section
2.14, but otherwise without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal amount prepaid shall
be payable on the next occurring Interest Payment Date that would have occurred had such loan not
been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent, interest on the principal amount
prepaid shall be payable on any date that a prepayment is made hereunder through the date of
prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Aggregate Committed Amount. If at any time after the Closing Date, the sum
of Loans plus LOC Obligations shall exceed the Aggregate Committed Amount, as in effect
during the Low Commitment Period, Medium Commitment Period or the High Commitment Period, as
applicable, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the outstanding Loans in an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause
(ii) below and shall not permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount).

 

33

 

(ii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid
pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i) shall be applied first, to LMI Rate Loans,
second, to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities and
third, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event
of Default, to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations.

(iii) Deposit of Prepayments. All prepayments under this Section 2.5(b) shall
be subject to Section 2.14 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid
through the date of prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan under
this Section 2.5(b) on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the
Borrower may elect to have the amount of such required prepayment held in an interest
bearing account with the Administrative Agent, to be held by the Administrative Agent as
cash collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and applied to such required prepayment on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(c) Hedging Obligations Unaffected. Any repayment or prepayment made pursuant to
this Section 2.5 shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under
any Hedging Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such repayment
or prepayment, subject to the terms of such Hedging Agreement.

Section 2.6 Default Rate.

Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, at the discretion of
the Required Lenders, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans
and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall bear interest,
payable on demand, at a per annum rate two percent (2%) greater than the rate which would otherwise
be applicable.

Section 2.7 Conversion Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LMI Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans,
by giving the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written
notice of such election not later than 11:00 A.M. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time). A form of
Notice of Conversion/Extension is attached as Exhibit C. If the date upon which an LMI
Rate Loan is to be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from such last day of an
Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were an
LMI Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding LMI Rate Loans may be converted as provided
herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) partial conversions shall be
in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

 

34

 

(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period
with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in
Section 2.7(a); provided, that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such
when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such Loan
shall be automatically converted to an LMI Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period
with respect thereto. If the Borrower shall fail to give timely notice of an election to
continue a LIBOR Rate Loan, or the continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans is not permitted hereunder,
such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to LMI Rate Loans at the end of the
applicable Interest Period with respect thereto.

Section 2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan
resulting from a change in the LIBOR Market Index Rate shall become effective as of the opening
of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the
amount of each such change and of each determination of a LIBOR Rate.

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

Section 2.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing of Loans and any reduction of the related Commitment shall be made
pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the applicable
Lenders. Each payment under this Agreement or any Note shall be applied, first, to any
fees then due and owing by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3, second, to interest then
due and owing hereunder and under the Notes of the Borrower and, third, to principal then
due and owing hereunder and under the Notes of the Borrower. Each payment on account of any fees
pursuant to Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(c), 2.3(d) and, if applicable, 2.3(e) shall be made pro
rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing. Each payment by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loan shall be made pro
rata according to the respective amounts due and owing each applicable Lender. Each
optional prepayment of any Loan shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and each
mandatory prepayment of any Loan shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.5(b). Payments
made pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied in accordance with such section. All payments
(including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees
shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in Section 2.15(c)),
shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 Noon
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the date when due. Any payment received after the foregoing
deadlines shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans) becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to
extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, after the exercise of remedies by the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.2 (or after the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit
Documents (including without limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities under
Letters of Credit) shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of
such Section), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party
on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents
or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lender Parties under the Credit
Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the
Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents;

SECOND, to the payment of any administrative fees owed to the Administrative Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with
enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations
owing to such Lender;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and
interest, and including with respect to any Swap Obligations, any fees, premiums and
scheduled periodic payments due under any Participating Hedging Agreement and any interest
accrued thereon;

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and the
payment or cash collateralization of the LOC Obligations, and including with respect to any
Swap Obligations, any breakage, termination or other payments due under any Participating
Hedging Agreement and any interest accrued thereon;

SIXTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and
payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST”
through “FIFTH” above; and

 

36

 

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order
provided above until the amounts due under any such category have been paid, prior to application
of such amounts to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lender Parties shall receive an
amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans, LOC
Obligations and Swap Obligations held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans
and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”,
“FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution
pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding
Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral
account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings
under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to
all other obligations of the types described in clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner
provided in this Section 2.9(b).

Section 2.10 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to
the date a Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that
such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to
the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.
If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If
such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s
demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower
shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be,
interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding
amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i)
from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of
Borrowing or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

 

37

 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower,
prior to the date on which any payment is due from the Borrower hereunder (which notice shall be
effective upon receipt) that the Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment when due, and the
Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make
available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed
payment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made such
payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall,
on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If
such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made
available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest on
such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative
Agent at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrower or any Lender with
respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10 (providing in reasonable detail the basis
therefor) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error)
that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, deposits in the relevant amount in
the relevant currency and for the relevant Interest Period are not available in the relevant market
to any Lender or reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such
Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders, as applicable, shall reasonably determine (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans that the
Borrower has requested be outstanding as a Tranche during such Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the
Borrower, and the Lenders at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest
Period. If such notice is given (a) any affected LIBOR Rate Loans requested to be made on the
first day of such Interest Period shall be made as LMI Rate Loans and (b) any affected Loans that
were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as LIBOR Rate
Loans shall be converted to or continued as LMI Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been
withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or
converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.

Section 2.12 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental
Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make
or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank
eurodollar market through its LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a)
such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, (b) the
commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such
shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or
situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then
outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law to LMI

Rate Loans. The Borrower
hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender,
 upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and
direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender including,
but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it
in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative
Agent, to the Borrower (providing in reasonable detail the basis therefor) shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. If any such request seeks retroactive compensation or indemnity, in
no event shall any such claim seek such compensation and indemnity for any cost incurred more than
180 days prior to the date such Lender delivers such certificate to the Borrower. Each Lender
agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR Lending Office)
to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section;
provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender
of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens reasonably deemed by such Lender to be
material.

Section 2.13 Requirements of Law.

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

(i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any
Letter of Credit or any application relating thereto, any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

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

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

in each case, other than as a result of such Lender’s capitalization or financial adequacy, and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or the Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, without duplication of any amount paid by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its
demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or
reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined by
such Lender with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans or Letters of Credit. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender (providing in
reasonable detail the basis therefor and stating that such Lender is seeking similar
reimbursement from similarly situated borrowers), through the Administrative Agent, to the
Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
If any such request seeks retroactive compensation or indemnity, in no event shall any such
claim seek such compensation and indemnity for any cost incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date such Lender delivers such certificate to the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to use
reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR
Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be
payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section; provided, however, that such
efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or
regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material.

 

39

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in
connection therewith shall be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted,
adopted or issued.

(c) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof, in each case, other than as a
result of such Lender’s capitalization or financial adequacy, does or shall have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of
its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by
such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such
Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by
such Lender as being required to compensate it for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any
additional amounts payable under this Section submitted by a Lender (providing in reasonable
detail the basis therefor and stating that such Lender is seeking similar reimbursement from
similarly situated borrowers), through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.14 Indemnity.

The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any
funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by
the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in
accordance with the terms hereof, (b) default by the Borrower in accepting a borrowing after the
Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) default by the Borrower in
making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof,
and/or (d) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a
day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including,
but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender
to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder. A certificate as to
any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 submitted by any Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, to the Borrower (which certificate
must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days following such default,
prepayment or conversion and shall provide in reasonable detail the basis therefor) shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If any such request seeks retroactive compensation or
indemnity, in no event shall any such claim seek such compensation and indemnity for any cost
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender delivers such certificate to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent.

 

40

 

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Credit Parties hereunder or under any Note shall be, except as
provided in Section 2.15(c), made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for,
any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of
whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding
any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of
the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or
applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and
all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as
“Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Credit Parties agree to pay the
full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment
of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or
on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note.

(b) The Borrower (or other relevant Credit Party) will furnish to the Administrative Agent
as soon as practicable after any payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law an original
or a certified copy of a tax receipt issued by the applicable Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment by the Borrower (or other relevant Credit Party), a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. The Credit Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender within ten (10) days after written
request, for the full amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of
any obligation of the Borrower (or other applicable Credit Party) hereunder (including Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15),
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate (along with a copy of the applicable documents from the
relevant Governmental Authority) as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower (or other relevant Credit Party) by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

41

 

(c) Each Lender (i) that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(c) (unless the
respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or
transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, two accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable
(or successor forms), certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from or
reduction of United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this
Agreement and under any Note and (ii) that is a United States person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), other than Persons that are corporations or otherwise exempt
from United States backup withholding Tax, agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an
assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(c) (unless the
respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or
transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, two accurate and complete
original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that
such Person is exempt from United states backup withholding Tax on payments made under this
Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the
Borrower’s request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous
certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such other
forms as may be required under applicable law in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of
such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding or backup
withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.15(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding
sentence, (A) each of the Credit Parties shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so
by applicable law, to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable
hereunder for the account of any Lender to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the
Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such
deduction or withholding and (B) the Credit Parties shall not be obligated pursuant to Section
2.15(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the
United States if such Lender has not provided to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the
Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.15(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 2.15, the Credit Parties agree to pay
additional amounts and to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the manner set
forth in Section 2.15(b) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the
immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any
applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the
interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of Taxes.

(d) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its
Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any
amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided,
however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs
or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.

 

42

 

(e) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party
or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.15, it shall pay over such refund to such Credit Party (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 2.15
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable
in respect of such interest); provided that such Credit Party, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to
the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.15(e) shall
not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any
Credit Party or any other Person.

Section 2.16 Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties.

(a) In addition to its other obligations under Section 2.2, each of the Credit Parties
hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and hold the Issuing Lender harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence,
direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting
from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, or (ii) the
failure of the Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act
or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government
Acts”).

(b) As between the Credit Parties and the Issuing Lender, the Credit Parties shall assume
all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.
The Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of
Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v)
errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or
otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the
proceeds thereof; and (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the
Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall
affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

 

43

 

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender, under or in connection
with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall
not put the Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to the Credit Parties. It is the
intention of the parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and
indemnify the Issuing Lender against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of
Credit (other than to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Issuing Lender or its agents or attorneys-in-fact not selected by it with reasonable care), all
of which risks are hereby assumed by the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, any and
all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Government Authority.
The Issuing Lender shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the Issuing Lender or
anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or
any other cause beyond the control of the Issuing Lender.

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.16 is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the
Borrower contained in Section 2.2(d) hereof. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this
Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omissions of any current
or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the
Issuing Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.16, the Credit
Parties shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing Lender in respect of any liability
incurred by the Issuing Lender arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Lender (including action not taken by the Issuing Lender), as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 2.17 Replacement of Lenders.

The Borrower shall be permitted to replace with a financial institution reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent any Lender (other than Wells Fargo) that (a) requests reimbursement for
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15(a), or (b) is a Defaulting Lender;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior
to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.12, 2.13(a) or
2.15(d), as applicable, so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant
to Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at
par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of
replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender under Section 2.14 if any LIBOR Rate
Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest
Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall
be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of

 

44

 

Section 9.6 (provided that
the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee
 referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the
Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13 or
2.15(a), as the case may be (so long as the Lender to be replaced does not cause any unreasonable
delay in such consummation), and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the
replaced Lender. In the event the replaced Lender fails to execute the agreements required under
Section 9.6 in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower may, upon
one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to such replaced Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of
such replaced Lender. A Lender shall not be required to be replaced if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require
such replacement cease to apply.

Section 2.18 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 9.1.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and
including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 9.7), 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 Issuing Lender
hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the
Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that
Defaulting Lender of any Participation Interest; fourth, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of 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 Borrower, 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 the Lenders or the
Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by
any Lender or the Issuing 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 or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this

 

45

 

 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 LOC Mandatory Borrowings in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LOC
Mandatory Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were
satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LOC
Mandatory Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LOC Mandatory 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 2.18(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 (x) shall not be entitled to
receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 2.3(c) for any period during which that Lender is
a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y)
shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees and Letter of Credit
Negotiation Fees as provided in Section 2.3(a).

(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 pursuant to Section 2.2, the “Commitment Percentage” of
each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that
Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect
only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event
of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to
acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive
difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2)
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and LOC Mandatory Borrowings of that
Lender and any other Participation Interests funded by that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Lender 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 to be held on a pro
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect
to Section 2.18(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.

Section 3.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

Each of the Credit Parties has full entity power and authority to make, deliver and perform
the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary partnership, limited

the Credit Documents to which it is party. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to

to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Credit Party. Each
Credit Document to which it is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each
Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as

the use of the proceeds of the Loans will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of
Law or any material Contractual Obligation of any Credit Party (except those as to which waivers or
consents have been obtained), and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any Credit Party’s properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation. No Credit Party is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual
Obligations, except to the extent any such default could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.

 

48

 

Section 3.6 No Material Litigation.

Authority is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Credit Parties, threatened by or against any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues

or (b) which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material

Subsidiary’s formation) or commences any activity, by way of execution of a Joinder Agreement and
a Pledge Joinder Agreement. The Obligations shall be secured by a first priority perfected
pledge of 65% of the Capital Stock of all

Foreign Subsidiaries, other than Excluded Subsidiaries,

 consequences could reasonably be expected to result therefrom, in which case such Foreign

Parties shall give notice to the Administrative Agent not less than ten (10) Business Days prior

to the extent applicable, substantially the same documentation required pursuant to Sections
4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.1(d) and 5.13 and such other documents or agreements as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request as may be necessary or, in the opinion of Administrative Agent,
desirable to create in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lender Parties, a valid
and perfected first priority Lien on all of the Collateral of such Guarantor described in the
Pledge Agreement. Any new affiliates (other than Subsidiaries of the Borrower) created after the
Closing Date may, at the request of the Borrower, become Guarantors hereunder by delivery of an
executed Joinder Agreement and a Pledge Joinder Agreement and the related required deliveries
described above if, at the time thereof, the Administrative Agent and Lenders, in their sole
discretion, exercised reasonably, have agreed with the Borrower to amend the terms of this
Agreement to take into account the inclusion of such new affiliates. Any such amendment to the
terms hereof shall be based on the facts and circumstances, including the Indebtedness and other
obligations of such affiliates, as they exist or are contemplated at the time of such request.

(b) Additional Pledged Foreign Subsidiaries. In addition, as provided in the Pledge
Agreement, Borrower and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a
supplement to the Pledge Agreement and all certificates representing 65% (or 100%, if no adverse
tax consequences could reasonably be expected to result therefrom, in which case such Foreign
Subsidiary shall, in lieu of any pledge of the Capital Stock thereof, become a Guarantor by
complying with the requirements of Section 5.10(a)) of the Capital Stock of all Foreign
Subsidiaries, other than Excluded Subsidiaries, not previously delivered to Administrative Agent
(accompanied by irrevocable undated stock powers, duly endorsed in blank) and to execute such
agreements, documents and certificates (including amendments and acknowledgments to any of the
Credit Documents as requested by Administrative Agent), and to do such other acts and things as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to effectuate and evidence such pledge.
If any Excluded Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary becomes capitalized (other than nominally
capitalized in connection with such Excluded Subsidiary’s formation) or commences any activity,
the applicable Credit Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Pledge Joinder
Agreement with respect to the 65% of the Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary (or 100%, if no
adverse tax consequences could reasonably be expected to result therefrom, in which case such
Foreign Subsidiary shall, in lieu of any pledge of the Capital Stock thereof, become a Guarantor
by complying with the requirements of this Section 5.10(a)) and all certificates representing
such pledged Capital Stock not previously delivered to Administrative Agent (accompanied by
irrevocable undated stock powers, duly endorsed in blank) and to execute such agreements,
documents and certificates (including amendments and acknowledgments to any of the

 

63

 

 Credit
Documents as requested by Administrative Agent), and to do such other acts and things as the
Administrative
 Agent may reasonably request in order to effectuate and evidence such pledge. If
Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the first
priority Liens granted to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lender Parties with respect to 65%
(or 100%, if no adverse tax consequences could reasonably be expected to result therefrom, in
which case such Foreign Subsidiary shall, in lieu of any pledge of the Capital Stock thereof,
become a Guarantor by complying with the requirements of Section 5.10(a)) of the Capital Stock
owned by Borrower or any Guarantor of the Foreign Subsidiaries (other than Excluded
Subsidiaries), Borrower and any applicable Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Administrative
Agent a pledge agreement or similar instrument governed by the laws of a country other than the
United States, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and take all such
other actions under the laws of such country. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 5.10(b), (i) no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to execute and deliver the Guaranty
or the Pledge Agreement, and (ii) no Capital Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to
be pledged pursuant to the provisions of the Pledge Agreement, in each case to the extent adverse
tax consequences to Borrower or any Guarantor could reasonably be expected to result therefrom,
it being understood and agreed that a pledge by Borrower or any Guarantor of 65% of the Capital
Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor will not cause adverse tax consequences to
Borrower or such Guarantor. If a Foreign Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor by complying with the
requirements of Section 5.10(a), there shall be no obligation on the part of any Credit Party to
pledge any of the Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary, and any such Capital Stock previously
pledged as Collateral shall be released as soon as administratively practical after such Foreign
Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor.

Section 5.11 Compliance with Law.

Comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders, and all applicable restrictions imposed

law, rule, regulation, order or restriction could reasonably be expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

performed any and all acts and execute or cause to be executed any and all documents for filing
under the provisions of the UCC or any other Requirement of Law which are necessary or advisable to
maintain in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, Liens on the
Collateral that are duly perfected in accordance with the requirements of, or the obligations of the Credit Parties under, the Credit Documents and all applicable Requirements
of Law.

within thirty (30) days from the entry thereof; or (iv) any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of,
or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above; or (v) any
Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall

covered by insurance) of $5,000,000 or more and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been
paid and satisfied, vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within five (5) days
from the entry thereof or any injunction, temporary restraining order or similar decree shall be
issued against a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or

(h) ERISA. (i) Any Person shall engage in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined
in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) involving any Plan that would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined
in Section 302 of ERISA), shall exist with respect to any Plan or any Lien in favor of the PBGC

Section 7.2 Acceleration; Remedies.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then, and in any such
event, (a) if such event is an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(e) above (other than
Section 7.1(e)(iii)), automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with
accrued interest thereon), and all other amounts under the Credit Documents (including without
limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities under Letters of Credit) shall
immediately become due and payable, and (b) if such event is any other Event of Default, any or all
of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the written consent of the

 

70

 

Required Lenders under any Commitment, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the written request of such
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to Borrower declare such
Commitment to be terminated forthwith, whereupon such Commitment shall immediately terminate; (ii)
with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the written

declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement
and the Notes to be due and payable forthwith and direct the Borrower to pay to the Administrative
Agent cash collateral as security for the LOC Obligations for subsequent drawings under then

Letters of Credit then outstanding, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable;
and/or (iii) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or
upon the written request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, exercise such
other rights and remedies as provided under the Credit Documents and under applicable law,
providing such notices thereof to the Borrower as may be required hereby and by applicable law.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

Section 8.1 Appointment.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wells Fargo as the Administrative Agent
of such Lender under this Agreement, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Wells Fargo, as
the Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender acknowledges that the Credit Parties may rely on each
action taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that there shall be no
violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations
or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized
that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Credit Documents, or in case Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Credit Documents or take
any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary
that Administrative Agent appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee,
co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution
being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent” and collectively
as “Supplemental Collateral Agents”).

 

71

 

In the event that Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect
to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to
Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such
Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and
obligation contained in the Credit Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof
by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either Administrative
Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article VIII and of
Section 9.5 that refer to Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
Collateral Agent and all references therein to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be
references to Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may
require.

Should any instrument in writing from Borrower or any other Credit Party be required by any
Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Borrower shall,
or shall cause such Credit Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments
promptly upon request by Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a
successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by
law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Collateral Agent.

Each Lender and Administrative Agent hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose
of perfecting Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets that, in accordance with the UCC,
can be perfected by possession or control.

Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may appoint one of its affiliates as its agent to
perform the functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder relating to the advancing of funds to
the Borrower and distribution of funds to the Lenders and to perform such other related functions
of the Administrative Agent hereunder as are reasonably incidental to such functions.

 

72

 

Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any of the Lenders for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement
(except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in
any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Credit Documents or for any
failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative
Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance by any Credit Party of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation
believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes unless (a) a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer
thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent and (b) the Administrative Agent shall
have received the written agreement of such assignee to be bound hereby as fully and to the same
extent as if such assignee were an original Lender party hereto, in each case in form satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it
by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any of the Credit Documents
in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as may be required
under this Agreement, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

Section 8.5 Notice of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from
a Lender or any Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement
expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent or upon the
authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be.

 

73

 

Section 8.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

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

Section 8.7 Indemnification.

The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and their
Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do
so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which
indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any
time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
such indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by any such indemnitee under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from any such indemnitee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the
Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

74

 

Section 8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though the Administrative Agent
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and
any Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent,
and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

Section 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative
Agent under this Agreement and the Notes or if the Administrative Agent enters or becomes subject
to receivership, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent
for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower with such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld (provided, however if an Event of Default shall exist at such time, no
approval of the Borrower shall be required hereunder), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed
to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent”
shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of
the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. If no Person has accepted such
appointment as successor Administrative Agent, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective
in accordance with Administrative Agent’s notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents, except that any Collateral
held by Administrative Agent will continue to be held by it until a Person shall have accepted the
appointment of successor Administrative Agent, and (ii) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by,
to or through each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 8.9. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.9 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement.

 

75

 

Section 8.10 Security Documents and Guaranty.

Each Lender (which term shall include, for purposes of this Section 8.10, any Hedging
Agreement Provider and any Bank Services Provider) hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent,
on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Security Document as secured party
and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to
be bound by the terms of each Security Document and the Guaranty; provided that
Administrative Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Security Document or the Guaranty or (ii)
release any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or the applicable Security Document), in each case without the prior consent of
Required Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 9.1, all Lenders); provided
further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from
Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) release any
Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of
assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Required Lenders have otherwise consented, or (b)
release any Guarantor from the Guaranty if all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor is sold to
any Person pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Required Lenders
have otherwise consented; provided that, in the case of a sale of such item of Collateral
or stock referred to in subdivision (a) or (b), the requirements of Section 9.19 are satisfied.
Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower,
Guarantors, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (1) no Lender shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Security Document or to enforce
the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the
Security Documents and the Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit
of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (2) in the event of a foreclosure by
Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Administrative
Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and
Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in
its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in
writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the
purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and
apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral
payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.

 

76

 

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Amendments; Waivers and Release of Collateral.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents, nor any terms hereof or thereof
may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified (by amendment, waiver, consent or otherwise)
except in accordance with the provisions of this Section nor may Collateral be released except as
specifically provided herein or in the Security Documents or in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders may or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders,
the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrower and other Credit
Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement
or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the
Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive or consent to the departure from, on such terms and
conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences;
provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement, modification, release,
waiver or consent shall:

(i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or
any installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder
(except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate set forth
in Section 2.6 which shall be determined by a vote of the Required Lenders) or extend the
scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date
of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby;

(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 or reduce the percentage
specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent of all the
Lenders;

(iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VIII without the written consent
of the then Administrative Agent;

(iv) release any Lien granted in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to all or
substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(v) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the
Guaranty, without the written consent of all of the Lenders;

(vi) permit any Credit Party to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or other Credit Documents;

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent,
approval or request of all Lenders, without the written consent of all Lenders;

(viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents affecting the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender under any Credit Document
without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuing Lender, as
applicable, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action;

(ix) amend or modify the definition of Obligations to delete or exclude any obligation
or liability described therein without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby; or

(x) amend, modify or waive the order in which Obligations are paid in Section 2.9(b)
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

 

77

 

Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification and any such release shall apply
equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the other Credit Parties,
the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any
waiver, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be
restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes
and other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured
and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower and the
other Credit Parties shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the
provisions of Article VIII (other than the provisions of Section 8.9 or any modification to Article
VIII which would reduce the duties of the Administrative Agent to the Credit Parties or increase
the obligations of any Credit Party hereunder); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent
will provide written notice to the Borrower of any such amendment, modification or waiver.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
circumstances as set forth above, (x) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on
any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the
provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions
set forth herein and (y) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash
collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or
consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be
effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x)
the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of
such Lender and (y) 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.

Section 9.2 Notices.

respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless

Section 9.3
 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, 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 preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

79

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents against the
Credit 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 7.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the
Issuing Lender; 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 Credit Documents, (b) the Issuing Lender from exercising the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender) hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.7, 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 Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code or any
other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws
of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting
the rights of creditors generally; and provided, further, that if at any time there
is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then
(i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 7.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d)
of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 9.7, 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.

Section 9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or
statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans, provided that all
such representations and warranties shall terminate on the date upon which the Commitments have
been terminated and all amounts owing hereunder and under all of the Notes have been paid in full.

Section 9.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification.

Each of the Credit Parties agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification
to, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection
herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, together with the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any
rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including in connection with the sale
of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the
Credit Documents), including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
to the Administrative Agent and to each Lender, (c) all costs and expenses of creating and
perfecting Liens in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lender Parties pursuant to any
Security Document, including filing and recording fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary
taxes, search fees, and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Administrative
Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that Administrative Agent or Required Lenders may
request in respect of

 

80

 

 the Security Documents or the Liens created pursuant thereto, (d) all costs and expenses incurred
by Administrative Agent in connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral,
(e) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees, costs and expenses of
accountants, advisors and consultants, incurred by Administrative Agent and its counsel relating to
efforts to protect, evaluate, assess or dispose of any of the Collateral, (f) on demand, to pay,
indemnify, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from, any and all recording
and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying,
stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in
connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the
transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or
consent under or in respect of, the Credit Documents and any such other documents, and (g) to pay,
indemnify, and hold the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates harmless
from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement (including any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty),
performance and administration of the Credit Documents and any such other documents and the use, or
proposed use, of proceeds of the Loans (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified
liabilities”); provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not have any
obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Affiliate thereof with
respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent, any such Lender or any such Affiliate, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. Each Credit Party hereby waives, to the maximum extent not
prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
relating to or arising out of any Credit Document any special, exemplary or punitive or
consequential damages. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and
the Obligations.

Section 9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Credit Parties may not assign or transfer any of their
rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents without the prior
written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable
law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Defaulting Lender or
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any
Commitment of such Lender, or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any
such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder
of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall continue to

 

81

 

deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. No Lender shall transfer or
grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to
or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or
waiver would (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon in
which such Participant is participating, or reduce the stated rate or extend the time of payment
of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased
post-default rate set forth in Section 2.6 which shall be determined by a vote of the Required
Lenders) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s
participation over the amount thereof then in effect; provided that, it is understood and
agreed that (A) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the
terms of such participation and (B) an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted
without consent of any participant if the Participant’s participation is not increased as a
result thereof, (ii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations
under the Guaranty, (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or (iv) consent to
the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Participant’s rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such
Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.5 with
respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time;
provided further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive
in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such
Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time, sell or assign to any
Lender or any Affiliate thereof and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to one or more additional banks, insurance companies,
financial institutions, investment funds or other entities (“Purchasing Lenders”), all or
any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes in minimum amounts of
$10,000,000 with respect to its portion of any of the Loans or Commitments (or, if less, the
entire amount of such Lender’s portion of such Loan or Commitment), pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Lender and the Borrower (to the extent required), and delivered to the Administrative
Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that
(A) any sale or assignment to an existing Lender, or Affiliate thereof, shall not require the
consent of the Borrower nor shall any such sale or assignment be subject to the minimum
assignment amounts specified herein (B) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, any other sale or assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6(c) shall
require the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
and (C) no such assignment shall be made (1) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries, or (2) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who,
upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this
clause (2). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance

 

82

 

and recording, from and after the Transfer
Effective Date
 specified in such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the transferor
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment and
Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent,
necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of
Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of
the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Notes. On or
prior to the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Borrower,
at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the
Notes delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption new Notes
to the order of such Purchasing Lender, to the extent requested by such Purchasing Lender, in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption and,
unless the transferor Lender has not retained a Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the order of
the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new
Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced
thereby. The Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by such transferor
Lender to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy
of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount
of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan
recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any
Note, the Loans made pursuant to this Agreement are registered obligations, the right, title and
interest of the Lender and any assignee in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon a
notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until
recorded therein. This Section 9.6(d) shall be construed so that each Loan is at all times
maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of
the Code.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, together with payment to
the Administrative Agent by the transferor Lender or the transferee Lender, as agreed between
them, of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 for each transferee Lender (other than a
transferee Lender that is an Affiliate of the transferor Lender) listed in such Assignment and
Assumption and the Notes subject to such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent
shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice of such
acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

 

83

 

(f) The Credit Parties authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing
Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial
information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and
Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant
to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party
in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries
prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, in each case subject to their compliance with
Section 9.15.

(g) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6, the respective assignee
Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal
Revenue Service Forms described in Section 2.15.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge
or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.6 shall not apply to any such pledge
or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) 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
Borrower 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 in accordance with its Commitment 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.

 

84

 

Section 9.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or with respect to the
participations in LOC Obligations held by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof
(whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(e), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such
payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Loans, participations, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from
the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or
subparticipations in LOC Obligations of the other Lenders, or shall provide such other Lenders
with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause
such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds
ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest; provided further that the provisions of this Section
shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds
arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender). The Borrower agrees that each Lender so
purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans or participations in LOC Obligations may exercise
all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such
portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right, without prior
notice to the applicable Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the applicable
Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any
branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party, or any part
thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and
liabilities of such Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and
description of such Lender against such Credit Party, in any currency, whether arising hereunder,
under the Notes or under any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as such
Lender may elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment; 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 2.18 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 aforesaid
right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the applicable Credit Party or against
any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver
or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Credit Party, or against anyone else
claiming through or against such Credit Party or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment
creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by
such Lender prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify the applicable Credit Party and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however,
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

Section 10.1 The Guaranty.

In order to induce the Lenders (which term shall include, for purposes of this Article X, any
Hedging Agreement Provider and any Bank Services Provider) to enter into this Agreement and to
induce Lenders to extend credit hereunder and under Participating Hedging Agreements and to provide
Banking Services, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from
the Extensions of Credit hereunder, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders as follows: each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt
payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Obligations.
If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally
jointly and severally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
or order of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, on demand, together with any and all
reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting
any of the Obligations.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
Documents, and the maximum amount of liability of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that could be asserted against such Guarantor hereunder without (i)
rendering such Guarantor “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code,
Section 2 of the UFTA or Section 2 of the UFCA, (ii) leaving such Guarantor with unreasonably small
capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA,
or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Guarantor unable to pay its debts as they become
due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5
of the UFCA, and to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or
federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such
Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law
(whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

 

89

 

Section 10.2 Bankruptcy.

Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and
severally the payment of any and all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders whether or not due
or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 7.1(e),
and unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Guarantors
further agrees that to the extent that any Credit Party shall make a payment or a transfer of an
interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or
any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or
otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to such Credit Party, the estate of such Credit
Party, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
said payment had not been made.

Section 10.3 Nature of Liability.

The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or
other guaranty of the Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other
guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or
impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party,
or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or
of any other party as to the Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of
any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease
or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders on the Obligations which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay to the Borrower
pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor
relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of
its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding (other than with respect to any payment
returned to the Borrower pursuant to a final decision, by a final court of competent jurisdiction,
as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender).

 

90

 

Section 10.4 Independent Obligation.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other
Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against
each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and
whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.

Section 10.5 Authorization.

Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender without notice or
demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without
affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend,
increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of
the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Agreement, including any increase or
decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any
other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce waive and
release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or
substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors.

Section 10.6 Reliance.

It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity
or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or
purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the
professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Section 10.7 Waiver.

(a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i) proceed
against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any
security held from the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other
remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors
waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any
other party other than payment of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense
based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, or
the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from
any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment of the Obligations (other than
claims based on the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or a
Lender). The Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any
security held by the Administrative Agent or a Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by the UCC or
any other applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any
Lender may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the
Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated or deemed terminated.
Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any
right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the
Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and
notices (other than notices which, by the terms of any Credit Document, are expressly required to
be delivered to any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or a Lender), including without
limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or
additional Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks
which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it
regarding such circumstances or risks.

(c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation
which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under
Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against the
Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Lenders
(collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights
of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time as the Loans hereunder shall have
been paid and the Commitments have been terminated or deemed terminated. Each of the Guarantors
hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any
endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrower and any
benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the
benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of the Obligations of the Borrower until such time as
the Obligations shall have been paid and the Commitments have been terminated or deemed
terminated.

Section 10.8 Limitation on Enforcement.

The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative
Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender shall have any right
individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that
such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders under the terms of this Agreement.
