of this Amendment and the performance by each Credit Party of the Credit Agreement, as amended and
modified hereby (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not and will not

          (d) Enforceability of Credit Documents. Each of this Amendment and the Credit
Agreement, as amended and modified hereby, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Credit
Parties which are party hereto or thereto, enforceable against such Credit Parties in accordance
with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by equitable principles and by applicable

rights generally.

Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment and
the Seventh Amendment, the representations and warranties contained herein, in Section IV of the
Credit Agreement and in each other Credit Document are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date as though made on and as of such date, except to the
extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates solely to an earlier date (in
which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects on
and as of such earlier date); and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the Eighth Amendment Effective Date or would result from this Amendment becoming
effective in accordance with its terms.

          6. Effect of Amendment; Continued Effectiveness of the Credit Agreement.

          (a) Ratifications. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect
and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after the Eighth
Amendment Effective Date (A) all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereto”,
“hereof”, “hereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the
Credit Agreement as amended and modified by this Amendment, and (B) all references in the other
Credit Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like
import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended and modified by
this Amendment, (ii) to the extent that the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document purports
to pledge to the Collateral Agent, or to grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in or
lien on, any collateral as security for the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, such pledge
or grant of a security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, and (iii)
the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as an amendment of
any right, power or remedy of the Agents or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document, nor constitute an amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document. This Amendment shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the
specific purposes set forth
herein and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of
the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, which terms and conditions shall remain in full
force and effect.

          (b) No Waivers. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment is not a waiver
of, or consent to, any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under the
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and the Agents and the Lenders expressly reserve all
of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other

-4-

 

Credit Documents in respect
of all such Defaults or Events of Default not waived or consented to hereby, by the Second
Amendment, by the Third Amendment, by the Fourth Amendment, by the Fifth Amendment, by the Sixth
Amendment or the Seventh Amendment, under applicable law or otherwise.

          (c) Amendment as Credit Document. Each Credit Party confirms and agrees that this
Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be
an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if any representation or warranty made or deemed
made by any Credit Party under or in connection with this Amendment shall have been incorrect in
any material respect when made or deemed made or if any Credit Party fails to perform or comply
with any covenant or agreement contained herein.

          7. Release. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it
nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent, the Borrowing Base
Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent, and each Lender has
heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Credit
Parties and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and the Lenders wish (and the
Credit Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions,
events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Agents’, the
Borrowing Base Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, interests, security and/or remedies under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the
agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Credit Party
(for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of
the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally
and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent, each Lender and
each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and
agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations,
damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of
action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of
whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or
otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or
hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing
whatsoever done or omitted to be done (collectively, “Actions”) on or prior to the Eighth
Amendment Effective Date arising out of, connected with or related in any way to this Amendment,
the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any act, event or transaction related or
attendant thereto done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, or
the agreements of any Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the
possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Credit Party, or the making of
any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or advances or the Collateral on or
prior to the Eighth Amendment Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in
this Amendment shall be deemed to release or discharge any Released Party from any Claims arising
out of, in connection with or related in any way to Actions occurring after the date of this
Amendment.

          8. Miscellaneous.

-5-

 

          (a) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.

          (b) Headings. Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

          (c) Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York.

          (d) Expenses. The Borrower will pay on demand all reasonable fees, costs and expenses
of the Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation,
execution and delivery of this Amendment and all documents incidental hereto, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP,
counsel to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and of McGuireWoods LLP, counsel to Borrowing
Base Agent. In addition, the Borrower will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees
(including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement, incurred by any Agent,
Borrowing Base Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due
from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of any Default or
Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work
out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses of any advisers retained by Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and
Lenders; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the
Borrower shall not be responsible for costs and expenses of CRS in excess of $25,000).

provided in Pricing Level 4 above, then the Pricing Level for the higher of such Debt Ratings shall

Moody’s shall change in a manner that directly and materially impacts the pricing grid set forth
above, or if both S&P and Moody’s shall cease to be engaged in the business of rating debt, then in
either such case the Parent, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend

applicable) most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation shall be employed in
determining the Applicable Rate.

the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in such
requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders
consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent
shall so notify the Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an
Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the
Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under
this Section 1.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

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

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

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

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

     1.09 Annualization. For purposes of measuring the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on
any date on or prior to the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent ending closest to June 30,
2009, the term Consolidated Fixed Charges (including the embedded term Consolidated Interest
Charges) shall be measured as follows:

     (a) for any measurement date prior to the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent ending
closest to December 31, 2008, such terms shall be measured by multiplying the amount of such term
for the one fiscal quarter of the Parent and its Subsidiaries ended closest to September 30, 2008
times four;

     (b) for any measurement date from and including the last day of the fiscal quarter of the
Parent ending closest to December 31, 2008 through the day prior to the last day of the fiscal
quarter of the Parent ending closest to March 31, 2009, such terms shall be measured by multiplying
the amount of such term for the two fiscal quarters of the Parent and its Subsidiaries ended
closest to December 31, 2008 times two; and

     (c) for any measurement date from and including the last day of the fiscal quarter of the
Parent ending closest to March 31, 2009 through the day prior to the last day of the fiscal quarter
of the Parent ending closest to June 30, 2009, such terms shall be measured by multiplying the
amount of such term for the three fiscal quarters of the Parent and its Subsidiaries ended closest
to March 31, 2009 times four-thirds.

ARTICLE II.

THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS

     2.01 The Loans.

     (a) The Term Loan Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Term Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Term Loan”) to the
Borrower in Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period for the
Term Loan Facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment;
provided that after giving effect to the Term Loan Borrowing on the Closing Date, and
during the Availability Period for the Term Loan Facility, the Borrower may borrow the remaining
undrawn amount of the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the
initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility less the amount of the Term Loan
Borrowing made on the Closing Date, and (B) $250,000,000 (it being understood that each Term
Lender’s Term Loan Commitment in excess of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof shall be
terminated immediately after the Term Loan Borrowing on the Closing Date); provided that
any Term Loan made after the Closing Date shall be drawn by the Borrower solely for the purpose of
making Permitted Parent Equity Repurchases (and the related distributions by the Borrower and the
other Guarantors to the Parent to accomplish such Permitted Parent Equity Repurchases) or repaying
existing Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, or both. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and in accordance with the definition of

31

 

“Availability Period”, if any portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is drawn on the Closing
Date then no portion of the Term Loan Facility shall be available for drawing at any time after the
Closing Date. Each Term Loan Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans made simultaneously by the Term
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Term Loan Facility.
Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Term Loans may only be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided that
the Borrower may request that Term Loans made on the Closing Date bear interest at the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for a period of no more than two
Business Days after the Closing Date, so long as the Borrower substantially simultaneously requests
that all such Term Loans be converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the day that is two Business
Days after the Closing Date pursuant to a Committed Loan Notice delivered, along with a funding
indemnity letter in accordance with Section 2.02(f), at least one Business Day prior to the
Closing Date (such occurrence being the only availability of Term Loans as Base Rate Loans under
the Term Loan Facility).

     (b) The Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a
“Dollar Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time, on any
Business Day during the Availability Period for the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any
Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not
exceed the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall not exceed such
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of each
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under
Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Dollar Revolving Credit
Loans may only be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

     (c) The Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make
loans (each such loan, a “Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars
or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the
Availability Period for the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, (i) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings
shall not exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans of any Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Lender, plus such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits of each Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), prepay under
Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c).

32

 

Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as
further provided herein.

     (d) The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Committed
Loan Notice or other notice given to the Administrative Agent, and subject to remaining
availability under each applicable Revolving Credit Facility, each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in Dollars under the Revolving Credit Facilities shall be made pro rata between the Dollar
Revolving Credit Facility and the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility. The parties hereto
further agree that in the event a Committed Loan Notice is received that fails to reflect the
agreement in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), the Administrative Agent shall
(with reasonably prompt notice to the Borrower), adjust such Committed Loan Notice to reflect the
agreement provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d).

     2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

     (a) Each Term Loan Borrowing, each Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans from one Type
to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days
prior to the requested date of (A) any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or (B) any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
Dollars to Base Rate Loans (solely with respect to Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated
in Dollars), (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice
Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii)
one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars under
the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of
a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Base Rate
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof; provided that (A) with respect to any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans that is
required to be divided pro rata between the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility and the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to Section 2.01(d), such minimum and multiple
requirement shall apply to the aggregate amount of such Borrowing and not to the amount allocable
to either the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility
individually), and (B) each Borrowing of a Term Loan after the Closing Date shall be in a principal
amount of $50,000,000 (or the remaining undrawn and available amount of the Term Loan Facility) or
a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic
or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Loan Borrowing, a Dollar
Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing , a conversion of
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans (and such Committed Loan Notice shall, subject to confirmation and correction by the
Administrative Agent, comply with Section 2.01(d) regarding pro rata Borrowings of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in

33

 

Dollars), (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case
may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto, and (vi) with respect to Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans only, the
currency of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed. If the Borrower fails to
specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Borrowing, then the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If
the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to
give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then (A) the applicable Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Term Loans or Dollar Revolving
Credit Loans shall be made or continued, as applicable, as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest
Period of one month, and (B) the applicable Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in
Dollars shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans or continuation as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the
Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any
such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month. No Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loan may be converted
into or continued as a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a different currency, but
instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loan and
reborrowed in the other currency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line
Loan may not be converted to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

     (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, and after application of Section
2.01(d) if not accurately reflected in such Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage under
the applicable Facility of the applicable Term Loans, Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans (in the case of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in Dollars) or continuation as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one
month (in the case of Term Loans, Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars), in each case as described in the preceding
subsection. In the case of a Term Loan Borrowing, a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing or a
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, each applicable Lender shall make the amount of its Term
Loan, Dollar Revolving Credit Loan or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loan, as applicable, available
to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the
applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Loan denominated in Dollars, and
not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section
4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such

34

 

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

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the
existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency
Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required
Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency
Rate Loans, other than Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars under the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Facility (which shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans at the
conclusion of the then-applicable Interest Period), be prepaid, or (solely in the case of
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans) redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar
Equivalent thereof and converted to Base Rate Loans, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto.

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

     (e) After giving effect to all Term Loan Borrowings and all continuations of Term Loans, (i)
at any time prior to the termination of the Availability Period with respect to the Term Loan
Facility, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect in respect of the Term Loan
Facility, and (ii) at any time on or after the termination of the Availability Period with respect
to the Term Loan Facility, there shall not be more than four Interest Periods in effect in respect
of the Term Loan Facility. After giving effect to all Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowings and all
continuations of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods
in effect in respect of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility. After giving effect to all
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans as the
same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect in respect of the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary, because all Term
Loans, Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an
Alternative Currency and made on the Closing Date as part of the initial Borrowing must be made as
Eurocurrency Loans, and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars and made on the
Closing Date as part of the initial Borrowing may be made as Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders at least three Business
Days prior to the Closing Date (or four Business Days in the event any portion of the initial
Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date is to be a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency) a funding indemnity letter in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent addressing matters substantially the same as those set
forth in Section 3.05.

35

 

     2.03 Swing Line Loans.

     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing
Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.03, to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to
the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period with respect to
the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line
Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loans of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such
Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after giving effect to
any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the
aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans of any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, plus such
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Commitment; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use
the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the
foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow
under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this
Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan made in Dollars. Immediately
upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Facility times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line
Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the
limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B)
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later
than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in

36

 

such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower
at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds.

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
request on its behalf), that each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate
Loan in Dollars under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility in an amount equal to such
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage (in respect of the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility) of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.
Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a
Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section
4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.
Each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable
Percentage (in respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility) of the amount
specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice,
whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan in
Dollars to the Borrower under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility in such amount.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i), the request for
Base Rate Loans under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility submitted by the Swing
Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender
that each of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility Revolving Credit
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.

     (iii) If any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid
by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the
time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the

37

 

Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount
so paid shall constitute such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation
in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     (iv) Each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense
or other right which such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender may have against the Swing
Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Lender’s obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the
Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

     (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage (in
respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility) thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative
Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of
the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

38

 

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.03 to refinance such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (in respect of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility) of any Swing Line Loan,
interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line
Lender.

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

     2.04 Prepayments.

     (a) Optional Prepayments.

     (i) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.04(a)(i), the Borrower may,
upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Term Loans, Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans in whole
or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior
to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four
Business Days (or five Business Days, in the case of prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (C) one Business Day prior to the date
of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated
in Dollars under the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Facility shall be applied pro rata between each such Revolving Credit Facility (and the
Administrative Agent shall make such application regardless of any contradictory notice from
the Borrower); and (iii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less,
the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (provided that in the event of a
prepayment to be applied pro rata between the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility and the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection
(ii), such minimum and multiple shall apply to the entirety of such prepayment and not to
the prepayment applicable to one or the other Revolving Credit Facility). Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid
and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such notice is
given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section
2.04(a) shall be applied to the principal repayment

39

 

installments thereof on a pro rata basis, and each such prepayment shall be paid to the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the
relevant Facilities.

     (ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must
be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m.
on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal
amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.
If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.

     (b) Revolving Credit Facility Mandatory Prepayments. If the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower at any time that:

     (i) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time exceed an amount
equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments then
in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall
prepay Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount
sufficient to reduce such Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings as of such date
of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect; or

     (ii) the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal
to 100% of the aggregate amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect,
then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Total Dollar
Revolving Credit Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of
the aggregate amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

     (c) Other Mandatory Prepayments.

     (i) If the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property (other than any
Disposition of any property permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b) or
(c)), in one or a series of related transactions, which results in the realization
by such Person of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) in excess
of $5,000,000, then the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
equal to the Required Mandatory Prepayment Amount within ten Business Days from the date of
receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (iii)
below); provided that, with respect to any such Net Cash Proceeds realized in
connection with a Disposition that would otherwise give rise to a mandatory prepayment
described in this Section, at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days from the date of such Disposition), and

40

 

so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent or
such Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful
in the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries so long as within 270 days after the
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, such reinvestment shall have been consummated (as
certified by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent); and provided,
further, that any Net Cash Proceeds not so applied within such period shall be
immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section
2.04(c)(i).

     (ii) If any Extraordinary Receipt (whether occurring as a result of a single
transaction or occurrence or a series of related transactions or occurrences) in excess of
$5,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof) is received by or paid to or for the account
of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise included in clause (i) of this
Section 2.04(c), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans equal to the Required Mandatory Prepayment Amount within ten Business Days from the
date of receipt thereof by the Parent or such Subsidiary (such prepayments to be applied as
set forth in clause (iii) below); provided that with respect to any proceeds of
insurance, condemnation awards (or payments in lieu thereof) or indemnity payments, at the
election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent within ten
Business Days from the date of receipt of such insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or
indemnity payments), and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Parent or such Subsidiary may apply such cash proceeds within 270 days after
the receipt thereof to replace or repair the equipment, fixed assets, real property or other
property in respect of which such cash proceeds were received; and provided,
further that any such cash proceeds not so applied within such period shall be
immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section
2.04(c)(ii).

     (iii) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.04(c) shall be applied to the principal installments thereof on a pro rata
basis.

     2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

     (a) Optional. The Borrower may, at its option and upon notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Commitments and/or or the unused portion of the Term Loan Commitments, or from time to time
permanently reduce in part the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolving
Credit Commitments and/or the unused portion of the Term Loan Commitments; provided that
(i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five
Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any reduction of the Dollar
Revolving Credit Facility or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility shall be applied pro rata
between each such Revolving Credit Facility (and the Administrative Agent shall make such
application regardless of any contradictory notice from the Borrower), (iii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof (provided that in the event of a partial reduction to be applied pro rata between
the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility and the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to
the immediately preceding subsection (ii), such minimum and multiple shall

41

 

apply to the entirety of such reduction and not to the reduction applicable to one or the
other Revolving Credit Facility), (iv) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving
effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Dollar Revolving Credit
Outstandings or the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings, as applicable, would exceed
the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments or the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Commitments, respectively, and (v) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the aggregate
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the
aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, such Swing Line Sublimit shall be
automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
the applicable Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Dollar Revolving
Credit Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused portion of the
Term Loan Commitments. Any reduction of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused portion of the Term Loan Commitments shall be applied to
the applicable Commitment of each applicable Lender according to its Applicable Percentage of the
appropriate Facility. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments, the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments or the unused portion
of the Term Loan Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination,
notwithstanding any later payment date provided for herein.

     (b) Mandatory. The aggregate Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to zero on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Availability Period for the
Term Loan Facility and (ii) the day on which the entire aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan
Commitments have been advanced in accordance with Section 2.01(a). The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify the Term Lenders of the termination of the unused portion of the
aggregate Term Loan Commitments under this Section 2.05(b), and immediately upon any such
termination the Term Loan Commitment of each Term Lender shall be reduced to zero. All fees in
respect of the Term Loan Facility accrued until the effective date of such termination of the Term
Loan Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination, notwithstanding any later
payment date provided for herein.

     2.06 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Term Lenders on the last day of each
fiscal quarter of the Parent ending after the first anniversary of the Closing Date an amount of
the Term Loans equal to the lesser of (i) $35,000,000 and (ii) 5% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loan Facility outstanding on the date the Term Loan Commitments are
reduced to zero pursuant to Section 2.05(b) which amounts shall be reduced as a result of
the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section
2.04. In addition, the Borrower shall repay to the Term Lenders on the Maturity Date for the
Term Loan Facility the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such date.

     (b) Dollar Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Dollar Revolving
Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate
principal amount of all Dollar Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

42

 

     (c) Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on
such date.

     (d) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to
occur of (i) the date that is five Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date
for the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility.

     2.07 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period
at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Rate plus (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan of any Lender which is lent
from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost;
(ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate.

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

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

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

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

     2.08 Fees.

     (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of:

     (i) each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of
the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable
Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the

43

 

Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving
Credit Loans;

     (ii) each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, a commitment fee in Dollars equal
to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate amount
of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments exceeds the Outstanding Amount of
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans (excluding Swing Line Loans);

     (iii) each Term Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Term Loan
Facility, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily
amount by which the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments exceeds the Outstanding
Amount of Term Loans.

The commitment fees set forth above shall accrue at all times during the relevant Availability
Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is
not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date,
and on the last day of the Availability Period for each such applicable Facility. The commitment
fees set forth above shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
relevant Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

     (b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Book Managers and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the
times specified in the Joint Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not
be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

     (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, in
Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agency Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

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

     2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when
the Base Rate is determined by Bank of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees
and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year),
or, in the case of interest in respect of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the

44

 

foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for
the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the
day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the
same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     2.10 Evidence of Debt.

     (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records
maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing
with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records
maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall
evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

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

     2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments
to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with
respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments
by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office
in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to
principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at
the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not
later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein.
Without limiting the

45

 

generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under
this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any
Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the Borrower shall make
such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect
of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like
funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative
Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.

     (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to
12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02
(or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available
in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the 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 in Same Day Funds 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 (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the
Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be
made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (in the case of Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars) or the Cost of Funds Rate plus the Applicable Rate
for Eurocurrency Rate Loans (in all other cases). If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for
such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any
payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 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 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

46

 

and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the appropriate Lenders the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of
the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

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

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

     (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Term Loans, Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans, to fund
participations in Swing Line Loans, and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c), are
several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

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

     2.12 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any the
Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time
in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations
due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in
respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due
and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by
all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not
due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess
of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but
not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in
respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the
Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time obtained by all of the

47

 

Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Loans and subparticipations in Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Facilities
then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case
may be; provided that:

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

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

     2.13 Determination of Eurocurrency Rate. If with respect to any determination of the
Eurocurrency Rate the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that BBA LIBOR will not be available on a Quotation Day using Reuters or
another commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly request that each Reference Bank supply it with its Quoted Rate, and the
Eurocurrency Rate to be used to determine the interest rate applicable to the relevant Borrowing,
conversion or continuation shall be the average of the Quoted Rates supplied to the Administrative
Agent by the Reference Banks. If the Administrative Agent makes such request and one or more
Reference Banks fails to supply its Quoted Rate to the Administrative Agent by 11:30 a.m., London
time, on a Quotation Day, the applicable Eurocurrency Rate shall (subject to Section
3.03(b)) be determined on the basis of the Quoted Rates supplied by the remaining Reference
Banks.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under

48

 

any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to
subsection (e) below.

     (ii) If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to
withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and
withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or
make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon
the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the
withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case
may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding
or deduction been made.

     (iii) If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable
Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such
deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount
so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such
Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as
necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the
Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

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

     (c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after written demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative

49

 

Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower
shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect
thereof within ten days after written demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason
fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this
subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall,
and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment
in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any
and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent)
incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the
inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such
Lender to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any
time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount
due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii)
shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment
of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

     (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

     (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or
when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder
or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax
purposes in the applicable jurisdictions.

50

 

     (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax
purposes in the United States,

     (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation
or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements; and

     (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable
treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally
entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

     (I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party,

     (II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

     (III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and
all required supporting documentation,

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

     (V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws
as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.

51

 

     (iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any
jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction
for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

     (iv) The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as
the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing
Date (or such later date on which it first becomes a Borrower), and in a timely fashion
thereafter, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the
Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by the Borrower, as are required to be
furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any
payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in
connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from
funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent or any
Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such
funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not
be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any
other Person.

     3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an
Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate,
or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the

52

 

Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended until
such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise
to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either prepay or convert all
such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (in the case of Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars) or to Loans bearing interest at the Cost of Funds
Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans (in the case of any other Loan), either
on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue
to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

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

     (b) Without limitation of the provisions of Section 3.03(a), if, with respect to any
Borrowing, conversion or continuation for which the Eurocurrency Rate is to be determined by
reference to the Quoted Rates supplied to the Administrative Agent by the Reference Banks in
accordance with Section 2.13, (i) fewer than two Reference Banks supply the Administrative
Agent with a Quoted Rate or (ii) prior to the close of business on the Quotation Day, the
Administrative Agent receives notification from Lenders to the applicable Facility whose
participation in such Borrowing, conversion or continuation exceeds 35% of the amount of such
Borrowing, conversion or continuation that the cost to such Lenders of obtaining matching deposits
in the London interbank market (in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars or an

53

 

Alternative Currency other than Euro) or the European interbank market (in the case of Loans
denominated in Euro) would be in excess of the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for the relevant
Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent, the
Borrower and the Lenders in writing as promptly as practicable thereafter, and the interest rate
applicable to such Borrowing, conversion or continuation shall be (a) the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate, in the case of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, or
(b) the Cost of Funds Rate plus the Applicable Rate with respect to Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, in the case of any other Loan.

     (c) If any event described in the first sentence of Section 3.03(a) or in Section
3.03(b) occurs and results in the application of the Cost of Funds Rate, then at the request of
the Administrative Agent, the Parent or the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Parent and the
Borrower shall enter into negotiations for a period of no more than 30 days for the purpose of
agreeing to a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest to be applied to the applicable
Borrowing (and, to the extent required, any future Borrowings). Any substitute basis agreed upon
shall be, with the consent of all Lenders with respect to the applicable Facility, binding on all
of the parties to this Agreement.

     3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

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

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement
contemplated by Section 3.04(e) and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and
the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory
Cost, other than as set forth below);

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

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

     (iv) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the

54

 

Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

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

     (e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as
long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan
equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by
such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such
Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of
any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance
of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed
as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places)
equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by
such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be
due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the
Borrower shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.

55

 

If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice.

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

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

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

     (c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan (or interest due thereon)
denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a
different currency; or

     (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
10.13;

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

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

     3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, 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 3.01, or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall, as applicable,
use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in
the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable,
and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

56

 

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, 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 3.01, the Borrower
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

     3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and
resignation of the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IV.

     (c) After giving effect to the Transactions and all Borrowings under the Facilities on the

     (e) Other than shareholders’ or noteholders’ litigation relating to the Merger, there shall
not be any litigation in any court or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority, that could

effect, upon the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions.

     (f) The representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Acquired Company and its
subsidiaries in the Merger Agreement as are material, individually or in the aggregate, to the
interests of the Lenders shall be true and correct (pursuant to the standard contained in the

but only to the extent that the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary has the right to terminate its
obligations under the Merger Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and
warranties in the Merger Agreement.

     (g) The representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01, 5.02,

as of the date of the initial Borrowing.

     (h) The Administrative Agent shall have received a Committed Loan Notice in accordance with
the requirements hereof. The Committed Loan Notice submitted by the Borrower in connection with

fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent (directly to such counsel,
if requested by the Administrative Agent) to the extent invoiced prior to the Closing Date,
plus such additional amounts of such fees, charges and disbursements as shall constitute
its reasonable estimate of such fees, charges and disbursements incurred or to be incurred by it
through the closing proceedings (provided that such estimate shall not thereafter preclude a final
settling of accounts between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

     Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
9.03, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section
4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved
or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender, unless the Administrative

59

 

Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto.

     4.02 Conditions to all Borrowings. The obligation of each Lender to honor any Request for
Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the
other Type, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) is subject to the following conditions
precedent (except the following shall not apply to the initial Borrowing on the Closing Date, which
shall be subject only to the conditions set forth in Section 4.01):

     (a) The representations and warranties of (i) the Parent and the Borrower contained in Article
V and (ii) each Loan Party contained in each other Loan Document or in any document furnished at
any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material
respects (or, if such representation or warranty is itself modified by materiality or Material
Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such
Borrowing, except (A) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to
an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) the
making of the representation and warranty contained in Section 5.04(b) shall only be
required as a condition precedent to the first Borrowing after the occurrence of the Closing Date.

     (b) No Default shall exist, or would result from such proposed Borrowing or the application of
the proceeds thereof.

     (c) The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the Swing Line Lender shall have received a

have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions
or currency exchange rates or exchange controls that in the reasonable opinion of the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders would make it impracticable for such Borrowing to be
denominated in the relevant Alternative Currency.

     Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a
conversion of Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and other than a
Committed Loan Notice submitted on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the initial
Borrowing) submitted by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the
conditions specified in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of
the date of the applicable Borrowing.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Each of the Parent and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders that:

     5.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Parent 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

60

 

Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every
jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

     5.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party
are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Parent and the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any
Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent, the Borrower or such other Loan Party (as the
case may be), 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.

     5.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any 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, (b) will not violate
any material applicable Law or the charter, by-laws or other Organization Documents of the Parent
or any Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a
default under any material indenture, agreement or other material instrument binding upon the
Parent or any Subsidiary or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment
to be made by the Parent or any Subsidiary, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition
of any Lien on any asset of the Parent or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of such material
indenture, agreement or other material instrument.

     5.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change.

     (a) The Parent has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and
statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii)
as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, certified
by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to
year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to
in clause (ii) above.

     (b) Since December 31, 2007, there has not occurred any event or change that, individually or
in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.05 Properties.

     (a) Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests
in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title
that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize
such properties for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such good

61

 

title or valid leasehold interests, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the
use thereof by the Parent and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other
Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.

     (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings (including investigative proceedings) by or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Parent
or the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Parent or any Subsidiary, that would
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(other than the Disclosed Matters).

     (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law
or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any
Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability or (iii) has received
notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability.

     5.07 Compliance with Laws; Absence of Default. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries is in
compliance with all Laws applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

     5.08 Investment Company Status. Neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary is an “investment
company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     5.09 Taxes. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed
all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes
required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside
on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken
together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur,
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such
Pension Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded
Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of

62

 

Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial
statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such
underfunded Pension Plans, in each case, by an amount that has had, or would reasonably be expected
to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.11 Disclosure. Neither the Marketing Information nor any of the other reports, financial
statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Parent or the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this
Agreement or delivered on or prior to the Closing Date hereunder (as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Parent and the Borrower represent only that such information was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

     5.12 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.12 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization
of, and the direct or indirect ownership interest of the Parent in, each Subsidiary, and identifies
each Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, in each case as of the Closing Date.

     5.13 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing
Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its
debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value
of the property of each Loan Party will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the
probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as
such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party will be able to
pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities
become absolute and matured; (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with
which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is
proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date; (e) no Loan Party, by reason of actual or
anticipated financial difficulties, has commenced or intends to commence negotiations with one or
more of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its Indebtedness; and (f) no moratorium
has been declared and, in the opinion of the Parent and the Borrower, no moratorium is reasonably
likely to be declared in the foreseeable future, in each case, in respect of any Indebtedness of
any Loan Party.

     5.14 Use of Proceeds. No Loan Party is engaged, and none of them will engage, principally or
as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying margin stock.

     5.15 Pari Passu. The Obligations rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured
Indebtedness of the Loan Parties.

63

 

ARTICLE VI.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

     So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any Loan or other Obligation
hereunder shall remain unpaid, the Parent and the Borrower covenant and agree with the Lenders
that:

     6.01 Financial Statements; Ratings Change and Other Information. The Parent will furnish to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

of each fiscal year of the Parent, its audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year, setting forth
in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all reported on by
Deloitte & Touche LLP or other independent public accountants of recognized national standing

operations of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied;

     (b) as soon as available and in any event within 60 days (or, if earlier, the date that is

balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the
end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth
in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the

(iv) stating whether any change in GAAP or in the application thereof that has not been disclosed

     Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a), (b) or
(e) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the
SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on
the date (i) on which the Parent or the Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto
on the Parent’s or the Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on
Schedule 10.02; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Parent’s or the
Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the
Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by
the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable,
shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
written request of such

65

 

Person and until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by such Person
and (ii) the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the
Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Parent and the Borrower shall be
required to provide paper copies of the Compliance Certificates required by Section 6.01(c)
to the Administrative Agent. Except for such Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to
above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Parent or the
Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for
requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

     Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent
and/or one or more of the Book Managers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or
information provided by or on behalf of the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, hereunder
(collectively, “Parent and Borrower Materials”) by posting the Parent and Borrower
Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b)
certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to
receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent, the Borrower or their
respective Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged
in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each
of the Parent and the Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Parent and Borrower Materials that are to
be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a
minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x)
by marking Parent and Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Parent and the Borrower shall be deemed to
have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Book Managers and the Lenders to treat such Parent
and Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the
Parent, the Borrower or their respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state
securities laws (provided that to the extent such Parent and Borrower Materials constitute
Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (y) all Parent and
Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Book
Managers shall be entitled to treat any Parent and Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC”
as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side
Information”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to
mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

     6.02 Notices of Material Events. The Parent or the Borrower will furnish to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice of the following:

     (a) the occurrence of any Default;

     (b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator
or Governmental Authority against or affecting the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

66

 

     (c) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, alone or together with any other ERISA Events that
have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

     (d) any other development that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a
Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer
or other Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower setting forth the details of the event
or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect
thereto.

     6.03 Existence; Conduct of Business.

     (a) The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Loan Parties to, do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its
legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the
conduct of its business; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger,
consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 7.04.

     (b) The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Subsidiaries to,
continue to engage (including after giving effect to any acquisition) only in a business of the
type that does not represent a fundamental change in the character of the business of the Parent
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, conducted by the Parent and its Subsidiaries on the date of
execution of this Agreement, and businesses reasonably related thereto.

     6.04 Payment of Taxes. The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each of the other
Subsidiaries to, pay its Tax liabilities before the same shall become delinquent or in default,
except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and for which the Parent or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or (b) the failure to make payment would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     6.05 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause
each of the other Subsidiaries to, (a) keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of
its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (b) maintain
in full force and effect, with insurance companies that the Parent and the Borrower believe (in the
good faith judgment of the management of the Parent and the Borrower) are financially sound and
responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least such
amounts and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as are usually insured
against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business.

     6.06 Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause
each of the other Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and
correct entries are made in all material respects of all dealings and transactions in relation to
its business and activities. The Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit
any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon

67

 

reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts
from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers
and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.

     6.07 Compliance with Laws. The Parent and the Borrower will, and will cause each of the other
Subsidiaries to, comply with all Laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     6.08 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used, along with certain other funds
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, (a) to pay the holders of the Equity Interests of the Acquired
Company a portion of the cash consideration for their shares of the Acquired Company in connection
with the Merger, (b) to pay fees and expenses of the Transactions, (c) to refinance the Existing
Material Indebtedness, (d) to finance, in part, the Permitted Parent Equity Repurchases and (e) in
the case of the Revolving Credit Facilities only, for working capital, capital expenditures,
permitted acquisitions and other lawful corporate purposes. Any amount of the Term Loan drawn in a
Borrowing made after the Closing Date will be used solely for the purpose of making Permitted
Parent Equity Repurchases (and the related distributions by the Borrower and the other Guarantors
to the Parent to accomplish such Permitted Parent Equity Repurchases) or repaying existing
Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, or both (and in each case to pay fees and expenses
related thereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or in any other Loan
Document, the Parent and the Borrower agree that they will ensure, and will cause their
Subsidiaries to ensure, that no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry margin stock
(within the meaning of Regulation U of the FRB) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying margin stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose.

ARTICLE VII.

Agent and the Lenders);

     (g) other Investments (including Permitted Acquisitions) not exceeding $50,000,000 in the
aggregate in any fiscal year of the Parent; provided that Investments under this

giving effect to any such Investment (and any Indebtedness incurred or repaid in connection
therewith), the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio is no greater than 2.50 to 1.00.

     7.04 Fundamental Changes. The Parent and the Borrower will not, and will not permit any other
Loan Party to, either (x) merge into or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other
Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or (y) liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the
time thereof and immediately after giving effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and, in the event such merger or consolidation is in connection with an Investment
(including a Permitted Acquisition), the Investment is permitted by Section 7.03:

     (a) any Subsidiary may merge with or into the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in
a transaction in which the Parent, the Borrower or such Loan Party, as the case may be, is the
surviving entity; provided that (i) the Parent and the Borrower will not merge with or into
each other and (ii) if the Parent or the Borrower merges with any other Loan Party, the Parent or
the Borrower, as the case may be, must be the surviving entity;

     (b) any Person may merge with or into the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in a
transaction in which the Parent, the Borrower or such Loan Party, as the case may be, is not the
surviving entity; provided that (i) the Person formed by or surviving any such merger or
consolidation shall be a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof or, in the case of a merger or
consolidation involving the Parent, the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Parent is organized
(such Person being herein referred to as the “Successor Entity”), (ii) the Successor Entity
shall expressly assume all the obligations of the Parent, the Borrower or the applicable Loan
Party, as the case may be, under the Loan Documents to which the Parent, the Borrower or such Loan
Party, as applicable, is a party, pursuant to a supplement hereto or thereto in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (iii) if such merger or consolidation involves the
Borrower, then each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to such merger or consolidation, shall
have (by a supplement to the Guaranty Agreement) confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to all of
the Successor Entity’s obligations under this Agreement, (iv) if requested by the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the applicable Loan Documents are legal, valid,

construed to permit the Borrower to merge with or into the Parent.

In the case of any such merger of the Parent or the Borrower in accordance with clause (b) above,
the Successor Entity shall be deemed to be the Parent or the Borrower, as applicable, for

71

 

all purposes of the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent
will not engage, and will not permit the Borrower to engage, in any transaction that would reduce
the percentage of Equity Interests owned by the Parent in the Borrower, except for (x) sales,
transfers and other disposals of such Equity Interests to directors, officers or employees of the
Borrower pursuant to any employee stock ownership plan or similar plan for the benefit of
directors, officers or employees of the Borrower and (y) the issuance of such Equity Interests as
consideration for any acquisition from a third party; provided that following any such
issuance of Equity Interests to a third party, no Change in Control shall have occurred and the
majority of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the board of directors of the Borrower shall be
occupied by Persons nominated by the board of directors of the Borrower or the Parent or appointed
by directors so nominated.

     (b) Dispositions to the Parent or a Subsidiary;

     (c) Dispositions pursuant to sale and leaseback transactions permitted by Section
7.06(a); and

     (d) Dispositions of assets that are not permitted by any other clause of this Section
7.05 so long as the Net Cash Proceeds of such Dispositions are applied in accordance with
Section 2.04(c); provided that the aggregate fair market value of all assets sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed in reliance upon this clause (d) shall not exceed $1,100,000,000
during any fiscal year and shall not exceed $2,750,000,000 during the period from and including
June 30, 2008 to but excluding the Maturity Date; provided further that in the event, and
on each occasion, that any Material Acquisition is consummated after the Closing Date, each of the
two amounts set forth in the immediately preceding proviso shall be increased by an amount equal to
25% of the value of the assets acquired pursuant to such Material Acquisition (valued based upon
the amount at which such assets would be reflected on a balance sheet of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries prepared on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP after giving effect to such
Material Acquisition);

provided that all Dispositions permitted hereby (other than those permitted by clause (a)
or (b) above) shall be made for full fair value and on an arm’s length basis, as reasonably
determined in good faith by the Parent or the Borrower, taking into account all relevant
considerations. Any merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary with or into any other Person that
results in such Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary or the Parent owning a reduced percentage of
the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary shall, in each case, be treated as a Disposition of such
Subsidiary (or the relevant portion thereof) for purposes of this Section 7.05.

     7.06 Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Parent and the Borrower will not, and will not
permit any other Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, whereby it

owned or hereinafter acquired, and thereafter rent or lease such property or other

72

 

property that it intends to use for substantially the same purpose or purposes as the property
sold or transferred, except:

     (a) any such sale of any fixed or capital assets that is made for cash consideration in an
amount not less than the cost of such fixed or capital asset and is consummated within 180 days
after the Parent or such Subsidiary acquires or completes the construction of such fixed or capital
asset;

     (b) any such sale of the property listed on Schedule 7.06;

     (c) any other such sale if, after giving effect thereto, the Attributable Debt in respect of
the applicable sale and leaseback transaction is within the limits set forth in Section
7.02(h) (after giving effect to all such sale and leaseback transactions and applicable Liens).

     7.07 Restricted Payments. The Parent and the Borrower will not, and will not permit any other
Subsidiary to, declare or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, or incur any
obligation (contingent or otherwise) to do so, except that, so long as no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of any action described below or would result therefrom:

     (a) each Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to the Parent or another Subsidiary, and any
other Person that owns an Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, ratably according to their respective

consummated on or after the Closing Date, but prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months after
the Closing Date, so long as (i) the aggregate amount of such repurchases does not exceed an amount
equivalent to the number of shares issued to shareholders of the Acquired Company as consideration
for the Merger, (ii) all such Equity Interests repurchased by the Parent are retired and not held
as treasury stock, and (iii) before and after giving pro forma effect thereto (including to any
Indebtedness incurred in connection therewith), both (A) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is not
greater than an amount 0.25 to 1.00 lower than the covenant level then in effect pursuant to
Section 7.08(b), and (B) the amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments
exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings is at least $100,000,000 (such permitted purchases,
the “Permitted Parent Equity Repurchases”);

73

 

     (f) the Parent and its Subsidiaries may make other Restricted Payments that are not otherwise
permitted in any other clause of this Section 7.07 in an aggregate amount in any fiscal

ARTICLE IX.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     9.01 Appointment and Authority.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage

78

 

of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and
8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

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

     9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

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

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

     9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give
notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an

79

 

Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint, in consultation with the Borrower, a
successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made
by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the 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 retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all
of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender, and (b) the
retiring Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents.

     9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

     9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead
Arranger, the Book Managers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents listed on the cover
page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the

80

 

Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder or, with respect to the Book Managers, as expressly
provided herein.

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

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel
and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and
10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08
and 10.04.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

     9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its
option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty
Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders
will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.10.

respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender or such Lender and that has
been approved by the Required Lenders, the Required Term Loan Lenders, the Required Dollar
Revolving Lenders or the Required Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, as applicable, the Borrower may
replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13; provided that
such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment

expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all
notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by
hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier or

given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the
opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other communications
delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall
be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet
or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II, if such
Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such
Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such
procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

     Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications

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

     (c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE PARENT AND BORROWER
MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR
OMISSIONS FROM THE PARENT AND BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR
STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY
ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARENT AND BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent
Parties”) have any liability to the Parent, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of the Parent’s, the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission
of Parent and Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities

84

 

or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Parent, the
Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

     (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier, e-mail or telephone number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other
Lender may change its address, telecopier, e-mail or telephone number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line
Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to
ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name,
telephone number, telecopier number and e-mail address to which notices and other communications
may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender
agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have
selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of
the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Parent and Borrower Materials that are not made available
through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material
non-public information with respect to the Parent or the Borrower or their respective securities
for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

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

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

85

 

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders;
provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising
on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Swing Line Lender from
exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Swing Line
Lender) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights
in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.12), or (d) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the
pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the
rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in
addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject
to Section 2.12, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any
rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

     10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

     (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable 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 of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or

including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans.

     (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. Each of the Parent and the Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) 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) (excluding Taxes which shall be governed by Section 3.01), incurred by any Indemnitee
or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case

86

 

of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed
use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent 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, whether brought by a third party or
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors,
shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such other Loan Party
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction.

     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Parent and the Borrower for any
reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to
be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of
the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought)
of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party
of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection
with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the
provisions of Section 2.11(d).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, neither the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
assert, and each of them hereby waives, any claim against any Person party to this Agreement or
against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such
unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

87

 

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

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

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

     10.06 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither (x) the Borrower nor the Parent may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender; provided that a merger or consolidation that
complies with Section 7.04 shall not be construed as an assignment or transfer for purposes of this
clause (x) and (y) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
subsection (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be
null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon
any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a

88

 

portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),
participations in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

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

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

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

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

     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed; provided that the Borrower will be deemed to have consented to such
assignment if its response is not received by the Administrative Agent within five
days of its receipt of notice of such assignment) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or
(2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

     (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be

89

 

unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of (1) any Term Commitment, any Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment or any
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is
not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate
of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan
to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

     (C) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility.

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

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans 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 Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat

90

 

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 Parent, the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Parent, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than
a natural person or the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s or Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans
(including such Lender’s participations in Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement.

     Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it
were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as
though it were a Lender.

     (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.01, unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

     (g) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding

91

 

vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of
any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan,
and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of
such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof
or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under
Section 2.11(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC
nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise
increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations
under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender
shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of
any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by
an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if,
such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or
other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or
liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior
consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in
the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole
discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to
the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating
to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or
Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

     (h) Resignation as Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Commitment and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to subsection (b)
above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In
the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint
from among the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder;
provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the
resignation of Bank of America as Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect
to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders to make Base Rate Loans
or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c).
Upon the appointment of a successor Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender.

92

 

     10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (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 the Parent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than the Borrower or the Parent.

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

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

     10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held
and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of
the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such

93

 

Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

     10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging
means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

     10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the

94

 

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

     10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
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 3.01, or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, or if any circumstance exists under the last paragraph of Section 10.01
that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, 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, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that:

     (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.06(b);

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

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

     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

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

     10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS 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

95

 

APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY
SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE
ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY OF THE
PARTIES HERETO MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO OR THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS
OF ANY JURISDICTION.

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

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT
THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

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

96

 

     10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrower and the Parent
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the
Book Managers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent, the Borrower and their
respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Book Managers, on the
other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the Parent has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Borrower
and the Parent is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the
Administrative Agent and the Book Managers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and,
except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not
be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective
Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Book Manager has
any obligation to the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Book Managers and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of the Borrower, the Parent and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Book Manager has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower,
the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of
the Borrower and the Parent hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent and the Book Managers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency
or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

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

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

97

 

Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act.

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