that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate
appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor to or substitute for such service,
providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service, as
determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of
interest rates applicable to deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market) at approximately
11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the

the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.

 

 

 

“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the

agreement, constitutes the principal amount of such Indebtedness or (ii) if a Permitted Receivables
Facility is structured as a purchase agreement, would be outstanding at such time under the
Permitted Receivables Facility if the same were structured as a secured lending agreement rather
than a purchase agreement.

“Available Commitment” means, at any time with respect to any Lender, the Commitment

“Availability Period” means the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date of termination of the Commitments.

of the Administrative
Agent, has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or
acquiescence in, any such proceeding or appointment, provided that a Bankruptcy Event shall
not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership
interest, in such Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof, provided,
further, that such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Person with
immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of

bankers acceptance financing and net costs under interest rate Swap Agreements to the extent such
net costs are allocable to such period in accordance with GAAP) and (b) the interest component of
all Attributable Receivable Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than such

Credit Party any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder, unless, in the case of clause
(i) above, such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent in writing that such failure is the result
of such Lender’s good faith determination that a condition precedent to funding (specifically
identified and including the particular default, if any) has not been satisfied, (b) has notified
the Borrower or any Credit Party in writing, or has made a public statement to the effect, that it
does not intend or expect to comply with any of its funding obligations under this Agreement
(unless such writing or public statement indicates that such position is based on such Lender’s

for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05.

participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each
Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or
Loans. Each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage

acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional

Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations
of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of
any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter
payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party
on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of
the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative
Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph
and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment
so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The
purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the
Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit denominated

issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the amount of the LC Exposure shall not exceed
$50,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate
Commitment.

extension) and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby
acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank,
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not
reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent in Dollars the amount equal to such LC Disbursement, calculated as of the date the Issuing
Bank made such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such
LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior
to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the
Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice
is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC
Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing
set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed
with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount of such LC Disbursement
and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged
and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to
make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section
2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and
the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from
the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for
any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

 

24

provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and

performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the
Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or
failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the
preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of
technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;
provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made
or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement
is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that,
if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be
for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment
by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for
the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

 

25

 

(i) Replacement of Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement
with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to
such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall
not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
within one (1) Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of notice from the Administrative Agent
or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC
Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the
amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to LC
Disbursements and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf
of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, a first-priority lien and security interest in such account
and the balances from time to time therein; provided that the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held
for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such
time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders
with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy
other Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder
as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within one (1) Business Day after all Events of
Default have been cured or waived and the lien and security interest of the Administrative Agent
therein shall be deemed released upon such return.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by
12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated
by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts so received, in like funds, to the account of the Borrower; provided that ABR
Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section
2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

 

26

 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of
the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.
Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue
such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to
Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or electronic
communication to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit the Borrower to elect an Interest Period for
Eurodollar Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d).

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof
to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

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

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

 

27

 

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of two
weeks’ duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request
of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar
Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not
terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the
Aggregate Commitment.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date
thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by
the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of
the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline
Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of five (5) days
following the date such Swingline Loan was funded and the Maturity Date; provided that on
each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then
outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by
such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder.

 

28

 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to
such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note
and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be
represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if
such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone
(confirmed by electronic communication) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment
of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3)
Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving
Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (iii) in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date
of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a
notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the
Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such
notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of
any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an
amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to
the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued
interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section
2.16. If at any time the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolving Credit
Exposures exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately repay Borrowings or cash
collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j),
as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate principal amount
of all Revolving Credit Exposures to be less than or equal to the Aggregate Commitment.

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal
to 0.55% on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period
from
and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment
terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing
on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

29

 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at
the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving
Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective
Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the
date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own
account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.175% per annum on the average daily
amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank during the period from
and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the
Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s
standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation,
transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting fees accrued through
and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on
the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date
to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date
on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the
Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation
fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for
distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid
shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each
Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as
well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any
Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the
Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each
Lender directly affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans
shall bear interest at 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in
the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding
hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to such fee or other
obligation as provided hereunder.

 

30

 

(d) Accrued interest on each Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such Revolving Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that
(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving
Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid
or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of
any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is
based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO
Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or electronic communication as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall
be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be repaid on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

 

31

 

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

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B)
Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or receipts (including value-added or
similar Taxes)) on its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its
deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other
Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or ABR Loan or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other
Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient
hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender,
the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after
receipt thereof.

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

 

32

 

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar
Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such
notice may be revoked under Section 2.11 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event,
the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by
such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would
have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of
the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in
Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant
to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen
(15) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by
any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely
pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party
shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding
applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the
amount it would have received had no such withholding had been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in
connection with any Loan Document (including amounts payable under this Section 2.17(d))
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the
Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so
payable by such Recipient. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so payable absent
manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative
Agent. In the case of any Lender making a claim under this Section 2.17(d) on behalf of any
of its beneficial owners, an indemnity payment under this Section 2.17(d) shall
be due only to the extent that such Lender is able to establish that, with respect to the
applicable Indemnified Taxes, such beneficial owners supplied to the applicable Persons such
properly completed and executed documentation necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or
reduction of, such Indemnified Taxes.

 

33

 

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent
that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and the Loan Parties for any
Excluded Taxes, in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) in connection with any Loan
Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable) delivers to the applicable Lender
a certificate stating the amount of Taxes or Excluded Taxes so paid or payable by the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party (as applicable). Such certificate shall be
conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or
reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law
or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of,
withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution
and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section
2.17(f)(ii) and (iii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the
reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form
or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or
certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event
within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form
or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S.
Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so,
deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably
requested by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which
such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the
following is applicable:

	 	(A)	 	in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form
W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup
withholding tax;

	 
	 	(B)	 	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with
respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to
the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any
other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding
Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such
tax treaty;

 

34

 

	 	(C)	 	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments
under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected
with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS
Form W-8ECI;

	 
	 	(D)	 	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits
of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code
both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit C (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender
is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (d) conducting a trade or
business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are
effectively connected;

	 
	 	(E)	 	in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the
beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a
partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of
itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D)
and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such
beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or
partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the
Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such
Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

	 
	 	(F)	 	any other form prescribed by law as a basis for
claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax
together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if
any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S.
Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the
Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed
by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply
with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such
Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such
payment.

 

35

 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to
this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party
pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
2.17(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any
indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if such payment would place such
indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified
party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such
refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section
2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time
on the date on which such payment is due may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10
South Dearborn Street, 7th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603, except payments to be made
directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for
the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed
LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of the Administrative
Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses
(including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03),
and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be deducted from any deposit account of the
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent; provided, that in the case of
reimbursement for fees and expenses, the Administrative Agent shall have previously provided the
Borrower with an invoice
setting forth any such amounts as provided for under Section 9.03. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent to
charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each
payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under
the Loan Documents.

 

36

 

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of
a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions
of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in
the amount of such participation.

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

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such
amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding
obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii)
above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

 

37

 

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.15, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or
2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.17 or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing
Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Expansion Option. The Borrower may from time to time elect to increase
the Commitments in minimum increments of $10,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the
aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $30,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any
such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its
Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or
other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting
Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments or extend Commitments, as the case may be;
provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and
such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto,
and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto. No consent of any Lender (other
than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments
to this Section 2.20. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall
become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant
Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of
any Lender) shall become effective under this Section 2.20 unless, (i) on the proposed date of the
effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section
4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have
received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the
Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a Pro Forma Basis reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent) with the covenants contained in Section 6.11 and (ii) the Administrative
Agent

 

38

 

shall have received opinion letters consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as
to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such
increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing
Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in
immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the
other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the
use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the
outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such
outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed
all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such
reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if
applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in
respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to
the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the
related Interest Periods.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply
for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any
action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02);
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or
each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders
shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated
among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages
but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures
plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the
Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y)
second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s
obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to
any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees
to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash
collateralized;

 

39

 

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause
(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b)
shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither
reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all
commitment fees that would otherwise have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely
with respect to that portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by
such LC Exposure) and all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC
Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase
any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s
then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and
participating interests in any such newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased
Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.21(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);

(e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of distributing such amounts to such Defaulting
Lender, apply amounts which would otherwise be payable to a Defaulting Lender to satisfy in full or
in part the Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement with the balance, if any, being
applied to satisfy in full or in part to the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender;

(f) neither the provisions of this Section 2.21, nor the provisions of any other Section of
this Agreement relating to a Defaulting Lender, are intended by the parties hereto to constitute
liquidated damages and, subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.03 regarding special,
indirect, consequential and punitive damages, each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank,
each non-Defaulting Lender and each Loan Party hereby reserves its respective rights to proceed
against any Defaulting Lender for any damages incurred as a result of it becoming a Defaulting
Lender hereunder; and

(g) for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall not be liable to any Defaulting Lender as a
result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.21.

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date
hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing
Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one
or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall
not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue,
amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to
the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect
of such Lender hereunder.

 

40

 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be
readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
in accordance with its Applicable Percentage and any amounts required to be on deposit pursuant to
Section 2.21(c) shall be immediately remitted to the Borrower or as otherwise required pursuant to
applicable law, rule or order.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers; Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as
now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and
is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. Schedule
3.01 hereto (as supplemented from time to time) identifies each Subsidiary, noting whether such
Subsidiary is a Material Domestic Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of
its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the Borrower and the other Subsidiaries and,
if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a
description of each class issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock
and other equity interests of each Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and
nonassessable and all such shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 3.01 as
owned by the Borrower or another Subsidiary are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens. There are no outstanding commitments or other
obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of
any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan
Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational actions
and, if required, actions by equity holders. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a
party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, including acting
as collateral agent in respect of cash collateral deposited with the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,
except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of
any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan
Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

56

 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been
so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)
days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of
any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to
a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting
as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges 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 from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or
Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty
under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the
foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any
Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in
their respective capacities as Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents, as applicable, as it
makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

 

57

 

The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or
omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent)
authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right
on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after
the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at
the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required
Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement
or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of
the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable
hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender or (vi) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their
obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, as the case may be.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of
“each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is
obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent
is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then
the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement,
provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date,
to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to
an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to
assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply
with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such
Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and
other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to
and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such
Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment
which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such
replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on
such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

 

59

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the
consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical nature.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without
limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender, including the documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement of its
rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including its rights under
this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit
if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section
9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or
damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount
(it being understood that the Borrower’s failure to pay any such amount shall not relieve the
Borrower of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

 

60

 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of
information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems (including the Internet), or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the
use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after
written demand therefor, including in all cases reasonably detailed invoices relating thereto.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender
may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required (1) for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (other than
an Approved Fund) or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

(C) the Issuing Bank.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment
or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent)
shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall
be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

61

 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect
of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500, such fee to be paid by either the assigning Lender or the
assignee Lender or shared between such Lenders;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its
affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities, subject to
Section 9.12) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including
Federal and state securities laws; and

(E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no
assignment shall be made to a prospective assignee that bears a relationship to the
Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided
that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment
required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(e) or
9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment
shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

62

 

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations; (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (D) without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, no participation shall be sold to a prospective participant that bears a
relationship to the Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such
Participant (A) shall be subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the
requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender); (B) agrees to be
subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under
paragraph (b) of this Section; and (C) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating
Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations
under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is
recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) 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 without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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 pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

63

 

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as
the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect
to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time
held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor against any of and all of the Obligations
held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under
the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender may have.

 

64

 

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

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

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will
affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who are directly involved with the
Transactions (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed
of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its
business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower;
provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

 

65

 

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT

LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name
and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such
Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as
of the Effective Date set forth below and is entered into by and between [Insert name of Assignor]
(the “Assignor”) and [Insert name of Assignee] (the “Assignee”). Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement
identified below (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), receipt of a copy of which is hereby
acknowledged by the Assignee. The Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in Annex 1 attached
hereto are hereby agreed to and incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Assignment
and Assumption as if set forth herein in full.

For an agreed consideration, the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns to the
Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor, subject to
and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions and the Credit Agreement, as of the
Effective Date inserted by the Administrative Agent as contemplated below (i) all of the Assignor’s
rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other
documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the amount and
percentage interest identified below of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of the
Assignor under the respective facilities identified below (including any letters of credit,
guarantees, and swingline loans included in such facilities) and (ii) to the extent permitted to be
assigned under applicable law, all claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of the
Assignor (in its capacity as a Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under
or in connection with the Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant
thereto or the loan transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the
foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all
other claims at law or in equity related to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant
to clause (i) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)
above being referred to herein collectively as the “Assigned Interest”). Such sale and
assignment is without recourse to the Assignor and, except as expressly provided in this Assignment
and Assumption, without representation or warranty by the Assignor.

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is made as of August 26, 2010, by and among each of
the undersigned (the “Initial Guarantors” and along with any additional Subsidiaries of the
Borrower which become parties to this Guaranty by executing a supplement hereto in the form
attached as Annex I, the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below), under the Credit
Agreement referred to below.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, UGI Energy Services, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Borrower”), the
institutions from time to time parties thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”),
have entered into a certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 26, 2010 (as the same may be
amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated, and as in effect from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions
of credit and other financial accommodations to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the
Credit Agreement that each of the Guarantors (constituting all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower
required to execute this Guaranty pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement) execute and
deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors shall guarantee the payment when due of all
Obligations; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support that the
Borrower has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support as the Borrower may
in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the
Obligations of the Borrower;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise
defined herein have, as used herein, the respective meanings provided for therein.

SECTION 2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each of the Guarantors
represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been renewed
at the time of the making, conversion or continuation of any Loan or issuance of any Letter of
Credit) that:

(A) It is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized,
validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, and has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where
the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse
Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction
where such qualification is required.

 

 

 

(B) It (to the extent applicable) has the requisite power and authority and legal
right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder. The
execution and delivery by each Guarantor of this Guaranty and the performance by each of its
obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and this Guaranty
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, respectively,
enforceable against such Guarantor, respectively, in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(C) Neither the execution and delivery by it of this Guaranty, nor the consummation by
it of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by it with the provisions hereof
will (i) violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the provisions of
any indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries or the assets thereof or (ii) result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien in on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Loan
Document). No consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by,
any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force
and effect, is required to be obtained or made by it in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by it of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or
enforceability against it of, this Guaranty.

In addition to the foregoing, each of the Guarantors covenants that, so long as any Lender has
any Commitment outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any amount payable under the Credit
Agreement or any other Guaranteed Obligations shall remain unpaid, it will, and, if necessary, will
enable the Borrower to, fully comply with those covenants and agreements of the Borrower applicable
to such Guarantor set forth in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. The Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantees,
jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the full and punctual payment and performance when
due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, including,
without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on each Loan made to the Borrower pursuant to
the Credit Agreement, (ii) any obligations of the Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements
(“Reimbursement Obligations”), (iii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to any Lender or
any affiliate of any Lender under any Swap Agreement or Banking Services Agreement, (iv) all other
amounts payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement, any Swap
Agreement, any Banking Services Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (v) the punctual and
faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by the Borrower of all of the
agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Borrower contained in the Loan Documents
(all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations” and the
holders from time to time of the Guaranteed Obligations being referred to collectively as the
“Holders of Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon (x) the failure by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, as applicable, to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, and (y)
such failure continuing beyond any applicable grace or notice and cure period, each of the
Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at
the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement, any Banking
Services Agreement or the relevant Loan Document, as the case may be. Each of the Guarantors
hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment
and is not a guaranty of collection.

 

 

 

SECTION 4. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each of the Guarantors
hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(A) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of
or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating
thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or
omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any
other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(B) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Swap
Agreement, any Banking Services Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without
limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates
applicable to, any of the Obligations guaranteed hereby;

(C) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or
modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or
invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

(D) any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or
ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or
any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the
Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective
assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other
guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(E) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have
at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the Administrative Agent, any Holder of Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, whether
in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; provided
that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or
compulsory counterclaim;

(F) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof
or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with
respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any
other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other
guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit
Agreement, any Swap Agreement, any Banking Services Agreement, any other Loan Document, or
any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting
to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain
any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the
Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

 

 

 

(H) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Holders of Guaranteed
Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section
1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(I) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as
debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(J) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion
of the claims of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations or the Administrative Agent for
repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(K) the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any
amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or

(L) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Holder of Guaranteed
Obligations or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for
the provisions of this Section 4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 5.

SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full: Reinstatement In Certain
Circumstances. Each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments
and all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired. If
at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation
or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement, any Swap
Agreement, any Banking Services Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or
otherwise, each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that each of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be due and payable in Dollars.

SECTION 6. General Waivers; Additional Waivers.

(A) General Waivers. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of
limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein,
as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the
Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

(B) Additional Waivers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the
Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives:

(i) any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or
notice of acceptance hereof;

 

 

 

(ii) (a) notice of acceptance hereof; (b) notice of any loans or other financial
accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of
any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations,
subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of Administrative Agent and
Holders of
Guaranteed Obligations to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any
reasonable time; (d) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the
Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (e)
notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any
instruments among the Loan Documents; (f) notice of any Default or Event of Default; and
(g) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such
Guarantor hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor
might otherwise be entitled;

(iii) its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Holders
of Guaranteed Obligations to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and
remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations
has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party, or against any
collateral provided by the other Guarantors, or any third party; and each Guarantor
further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other
than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally
performed and indefeasibly paid) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation
from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof;

(iv) (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other
Holders of Guaranteed Obligations any defense (legal or equitable), set-off,
counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against
the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other
Holders of Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of
any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of
perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
security therefor; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any
right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: the impairment or
suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations’
rights or remedies against the other Guarantors; the alteration by the Administrative
Agent and the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations of the Guaranteed Obligations; any
discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other
Holders of Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law as a result of the Administrative
Agent’s and the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations’ intervention or omission; or the
acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations of
anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of
any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the
enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute
of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer
or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s
liability hereunder; and

(v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense
based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of
Guaranteed Obligations; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other
Holders of Guaranteed Obligations under Section 1111(b) of Title 11 of the United States
Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as now and hereafter in effect (or any successor statute), to
limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.

 

 

 

SECTION 7. Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.

(A) Subordination of Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully
and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the Guarantors (i) shall have
no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right
to enforce any remedy which the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, the Issuing Bank or the
Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or
any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and the
Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral
given to the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any other liability of the Borrower to the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations or the
Issuing Bank. Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to
exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A)
subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and (B) waives any and
all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the
Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor acknowledges
and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the
other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and shall not limit or otherwise affect such
Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the
Administrative Agent, the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and their respective
successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements
set forth in this Section 7(A).

(B) Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Guarantor agrees that any and
all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder (each an
“Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined),
any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations;
provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such
Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to
Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue
for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests
of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of
any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Guaranteed
Obligations and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right
to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial
action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been
fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan
Document, any Swap Agreement or any Banking Services Agreement have been terminated. If all
or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any
distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or
complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy,
arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or
proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of
the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being
herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any
kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or
deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor
(“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the
Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become
due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in
cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be
received by the

 

 

 

applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness
after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the
termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower
and the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in
trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and shall
forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of
Guaranteed Obligations, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or
assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the
Guarantor as the property of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations. If any such Guarantor
fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make
the same. Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the
contingent indemnity obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all
financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of
Guaranteed Obligations have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any
Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have
against any Obligor.

SECTION 8. Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.

(A) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a
“Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then
previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise
would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the
aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion
as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior
to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors
as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the
Credit Agreement, the Swap Agreements and the Banking Services Agreements, such Guarantor
shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be
reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their
respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(B) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be
equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Guarantor
under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(C) This Section 8 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors,
and nothing set forth in this Section 8 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of
the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

(D) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution
and indemnification is owing.

(E) The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this
Section 8 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations in cash and the termination of the Credit Agreement, the Swap Agreements
and the Banking Services Agreements.

 

 

 

SECTION 9. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any
amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement, any Banking Services
Agreement or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit
Agreement, any Swap Agreement, any Banking Services Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the
Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party
hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Article IX of the Credit Agreement (including
by facsimile or other electronic communications) with respect to the Administrative Agent at its
notice address therein and with respect to any Guarantor, in care of the Borrower at the address of
the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement or such other address or facsimile number as such
party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the provisions of such Article IX.

SECTION 11. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other
Holder of Guaranteed Obligations in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement, any Banking Services
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

SECTION 12. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided, that no Guarantor shall have any right to
assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of all of the Lenders, and any such
assignment in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void; and in the event of an
assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any Swap Agreement, any Banking
Services Agreement or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the
rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with
such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective
successors and assigns.

SECTION 13. Changes in Writing. Other than in connection with the addition of
additional Subsidiaries, which become parties hereto by executing a supplement hereto in the form
attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; JURY TRIAL; IMMUNITY.

(A) CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION
OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE
HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH
FEDERAL COURT.

 

 

 

(B) Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty or any other Loan
Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any
other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

(C) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (A) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

(D) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 10. Nothing in this Guaranty or any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.

(E) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
GUARANTY, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION.

(F) TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GUARANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM
JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE,
ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR
OTHERWISE), EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY.

 

 

 

SECTION 16. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in
the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto
and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of
the authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 17. Taxes, Expenses of Enforcement, etc.

(A) Taxes. (i) The provisions of Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to
the same extent to all payments made under this Guaranty.

(ii) By accepting the benefits hereof, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will comply
with Section 2.17(e) of the Credit Agreement.

(B) Expenses of Enforcement, Etc. The provisions of Section 9.03 of the Credit
Agreement shall apply to the same extent to this Guaranty.

SECTION 18. Setoff. At any time after all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
have become due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), each Holder of Guaranteed Obligations
(including the Administrative Agent) may, without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the
acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement toward the payment of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from such Holder of Guaranteed
Obligations or the Administrative Agent to any Guarantor, and (ii) any moneys, credits or other
property belonging to any Guarantor, at any time held by or coming into the possession of such
Holder of Guaranteed Obligations (including the Administrative Agent) or any of their respective
affiliates.

SECTION 19. Financial Information. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for
keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any and all endorsers and/or
other Guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that
diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that none of the Holders of
Guaranteed Obligations (including the Administrative Agent) shall have any duty to advise such
Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances.
In the event any Holder of Guaranteed Obligations (including the Administrative Agent), in its sole
discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a
Guarantor, such Holder of Guaranteed Obligations (including the Administrative Agent) shall be
under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine,
(ii) to disclose any information which such Holder of Guaranteed Obligations (including the
Administrative Agent), pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices,
wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such
information or any other information to such Guarantor.

SECTION 20. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

SECTION 21. Merger. This Guaranty represents the final agreement of each of the
Guarantors with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of
prior
or contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between the Guarantor and any
Holder of Guaranteed Obligations (including the Administrative Agent).

SECTION 22. Headings. Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of
reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any provision of this Guaranty.

	2.	 	PURPOSE

	2.1	 	As security for the repayment, discharge and performance of all the Secured Liabilities, the
Pledgor hereby pledges the Account in favour of the Beneficiaries.

	2.2	(a)	 	 In accordance with Article L. 431-4, all Financial Instruments initially registered in
the Pledged Account, those which may be substituted therefor or added thereto in any manner
whatsoever, as well as any income and proceeds (fruits et produits) therefrom in any currency
whatsoever are automatically incorporated in the scope of the Pledge
without any such
operation constituting in any manner a novation of the rights or the security granted to the
Beneficiaries under the Pledge.

	 	(b)	 	In addition, if the Pledgor subsequently subscribes or purchases in any manner
whatsoever other financial instruments (instruments financiers) issued by the Company
that are not automatically included in the scope of the Pledge pursuant to paragraph (a)
of this Clause 2, the Pledgor shall transfer the said financial instruments to the
Pledged Account and the said financial instruments shall therefore be included in the
scope of the Pledge in accordance with (I) of Article L. 431-4. The Pledgor shall
execute all such documents and take all such other actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to effect such transfer.

	2.3	 	In accordance with Article L. 431-4, the Financial Instruments and the sums in any currency
whatsoever subsequently registered in the Pledged Account, as a security for the performance
by the Pledgor of the Secured Obligations, are subject to the same terms as those initially
registered and are considered as if they were so registered at the
date of the initial Déclaration de Gage.

	2.4	 	All income and proceeds (fruits et produits) in cash payable in respect to the Financial
Instruments, including without limitation all dividends and other distributions in cash to
which the Financial Instruments give right as well as all cash amounts payable in respect of
or in substitution for any of the Financial Instruments shall be paid to the Special Cash
Account. By executing the Confirmation of Pledge, the Company shall
accept to make such payments to
the Special Cash Account. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and has been notified to
the Pledgor, the Pledgor is hereby authorised by the Beneficiaires to withdraw from the
Special Cash Account all income and proceeds (fruits et produits) which have been credited
therein. This authorisation may be revoked by the Security Agent on behalf of the
Beneficiaries, by simple notice (substantially in the form of Schedule 6) of the Security
Agent to the Special Account Holder (with a copy to the Pledgor) upon
the occurrence of an Event
of Default, for so long it is not remedied, waived or ended in any way whatsoever. Upon
rereipt of such notice by the Special Account Holder, all amounts standing to the credit of
the Special Cash Account, shall become unavailable for the Pledgor until a notification to the
contrary is received from the Security Agent (which shall occur at the Pledgor’s expense as
soon as reasonably practicable when such Event of Default is no longer continuing). In
accordance with Article L. 431-4, the Special Cash Account is considered to be part of the
Pledged Account at the date of the signature of the Déclaration de Gage.

 

3

 

	2.5	 	The Pledgor shall take all necessary steps requested by the Security Agent (including,
without limitation, signature of the “Déclaration de
Gage de compte d’instruments financiers” in the
form set out in schedule 6) (the “Déclaration de
Gage”), as soon as possible, so that
following execution of this Pledge:

	 	(a)	 	the Financial Instruments
are transferred to the Account indicating the pledge in favour of
the Beneficiaries;

	 	(b)	 	the pledge granted over the
Account under this Pledge is registered in the share transfer
register of the Company; and

	 	(c)	 	an “Attestation de constitution de gage de compte d’instruments financiers” in the form set
out in schedule 4 is delivered by the Company to the Security Agent.

	3.	 	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The
Pledgor represents and warrants to the Security Agent and to each of the Beneficiaries as
at the date hereof and for the duration of the Security Period, that:

	 	(a)	 	the Financial Instruments are registered, have been fully paid up, represent (as of the
date of this Pledge) 99.99% of the Company’s share capital and will continue to represent at
all times (provided such reduction is authorised pursuant to the Senior Finance Documents) at
least 95.00% of the Company’s share capital;

	 	(b)	 	it is the owner of the Account and the registered owner of the Financial Instruments and it
has not created, incurred or permitted to subsist any Security Interest or other encumbrance
whatsoever over the Account or the other than the Security Interest granted pursuant to this
Pledge;

	 	(c)	 	there is no purchase option outstanding or in existence in relation to all or part of the
Financial Instruments, no scheme exists for the purchase or subscription of Financial
Instruments in the Company, and more generally there exists no agreement by which the Company
has undertaken to issue new Financial Instruments or securities
giving access to the share
capital of the Company, all except as permitted under the Finance Documents;

	 	(d)	 	the Pledge has been approved
by the Company pursuant to a board resolution dated 2 December
2005;

	 	(e)	 	there is no shareholders’ agreement, pre-emption clause nor any other agreement or clause
which would prevent the performance of this Pledge in accordance with its terms;

	 	(f)	 	the payment of, or the
provision of security for, the Secured Liabilities by the Pledgor does
not require any authorisation of any authority whatsoever, including, without limitation, from
the administrative bodies of the Pledgor other than those previously obtained and no
authorisation from the administrative bodies of the Pledgor or of the Company or of any
authority whatsoever is required for the enforcement of this Pledge; and

	 	(g)	 	this Pledge is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms and creates a pledge
ranking above the rights that any other person may have over the Account or the Financial
Instruments or over the proceeds of any sale of the Financial Instruments.

 

4

 

	4.	 	UNDERTAKINGS

	4.1	 	For the duration of the Security Period, the Pledgor undertakes:

	 	(f)	 	instruct the Special Account Holder to deliver to the Security Agent, with
respect to the Special Cash Account, an attestation de constitution de gage de compte
espèces spécial substantially in the form set out in Schedule 8 duly executed by the
Special Account Holder.

	4.2	 	Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Pledgor shall remain liable to observe and
perform all of the conditions and obligations assumed by it in respect of the Financial
Instruments and the Account and none of the Beneficiaries shall be required in any manner to
perform or fulfil any obligation of the Pledgor in respect of the Financial Instruments of the
Account or to make any payment received by them, or to receive any enquiry as to the nature or
sufficiency of any payment received by them, or to present or to file any claim or take any
other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to which they may have been or to
which they may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

	5.	 	ENFORCEMENT

Following the occurrence of a payment default under the Secured Liabilities and without
prejudice to any other right or action whatsoever which may be exercised or taken
independently or concurrently, the Security Agent, acting on behalf of the Beneficiaries,

the other Beneficiaries and does not affect the nature or the extent of the liabilities which
have been or which may exist between the Pledgor and the Security Agent or the other
Beneficiaries.

	8.2	 	Where any clause of this Pledge shall be or become illegal, invalid or unenforceable it is
agreed that the other provisions of this Pledge shall remain legal, valid and enforceable
against the parties to this Pledge independently of the said illegal, invalid or
unenforceable clauses.

	8.3	 	No payment to the Security Agent and/or the other Beneficiaries whether under any judgment or
court order or otherwise shall discharge the obligation or liability
of the Pledgor unless and
until the Security Agent and/or the other Beneficiaries shall have received payment in full in

amount of any such payment shall on actual conversion into such currency fall short of such
obligation or liability expressed in that currency the Security Agent and/or the other
Beneficiaries shall have a further cause of action against the Pledgor to recover the amount
of the shortfall.

	8.4	 	In the event of a transfer by way of a novation of all or part of the rights and obligations

deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Security
Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any Security Interest granted or
