          Section 2.03 Swing Loans.

          (a) The Borrower may request the Swing Loan Bank to make, and the Swing Loan Bank agrees, on

          Section 2.04 Letters of Credit.

          (a) The Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions hereof, to issue one or more letters
of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower, or any Subsidiary of the
Borrower, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period until the date
thirty (30) days before the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date, provided that
(i) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit shall not exceed at any time the Letter
of Credit Facility (ii) the Available Amount of such Letters of Credit shall not exceed the
aggregate Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time and (iii) if a Letter of
Credit shall be issued for a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary
to be a co-applicant with the Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit.

          (b) No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or
the beneficiary thereof to require renewal of, or to have automatically renewed, such Letter of

          (c) Any Letter of Credit may provide that it will be automatically renewed annually unless
notice is given (1) by the Borrower to the relevant Issuing Bank not less than five (5) Business
Days prior to the date of the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit, that such Letter of
Credit will not be renewed, or (2) by the relevant Issuing Bank to the Borrower

28

 

not less than
thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date of the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit, of
its election not to renew such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Issuing
Bank shall give such a notice except (A) at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default
or (B) if any automatic renewal would extend a Letter of Credit expiration date to later
than thirty (30) days prior to the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date. In either
case in which such notice is given pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Letter of Credit will
expire on the date it would otherwise have been automatically renewed, provided that the
terms of such Letter of Credit may (y) require the relevant Issuing Bank forthwith to give to the
named beneficiary of such Letter of Credit notice of any notice given pursuant to the preceding
sentence and (z) permit the beneficiary, upon receipt of the notice under clause (y), to draw under
such Letter of Credit prior to the date such Letter of Credit would otherwise have been
automatically renewed.

          (d) Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, the Borrower may request the issuance
of Letters of Credit under Section 2.04(a), repay any Letter of Credit Loans resulting from
drawings thereunder and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under Section 2.04(a).

          (e) Each letter of credit listed on Schedule 2.04 shall be deemed to constitute a
Letter of Credit issued hereunder, and each Lender or each Affiliate of a Lender that is an issuer
of such a Letter of Credit shall, for purposes of Section 2.19, be deemed to be the Issuing Bank
for each such letter of credit, provided than any renewal or replacement of any such letter
of credit shall be issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          Section 2.05 Term Loan Borrowing; Revolving Loan Borrowings, Swing Loan Borrowings.

          (a) Term Loan Borrowing.

     (i) The Term Loan Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) in the
case of a Term Loan Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, and (y) in the
case of a Term Loan Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans, 10:00 A.M. (New York City time)
on the Closing Date, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each
Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier, telex, cable or electronic mail. The notice of
Term Loan Borrowing shall be made in the form of a written Loan Notice, or orally and
confirmed immediately in writing, by telecopier, telex, cable or electronic mail, in the
form of a written Loan Notice, specifying therein the requested (i) Type of Term Loan
comprising the Term Loan Borrowing, (ii) aggregate amount of such Term Loan Borrowing and
(iii) in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest
Period for such Term Loan. Each Lender shall (A) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on
the Closing Date (in the

29

 

case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing) and (B) before 1:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the Closing Date of such Term Loan Borrowing (in the case of a Base Rate
Borrowing), make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, such Lender’s
ratable
portion of such Term Loan Borrowing (based upon its Applicable Term Loan Percentage).
After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent will make such
funds available to the Borrower in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
may agree.

     (ii) Subject to Sections 3.02 and 3.03, the notice of Term Loan Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. If the notice of Term Loan Borrowing specifies
such Term Loan Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall
indemnify each relevant Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as
a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the Closing Date the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 4.01, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of
anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Term Loan to be made by such
Lender as part of such Term Loan Borrowing when such Term Loan, as a result of such failure,
is not made on such date.

     (iii) The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it as part of the
Term Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder
to make its Term Loan on the Closing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on the
Closing Date.

     (iv) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for the Term Loan
to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and
such funds are not made available on the Closing Date to the Borrower by the Administrative
Agent because the conditions to the Term Loan Borrowing set forth in Section 4.01 are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall
return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender within one (1)
Business Day, without interest.

     (v) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Term 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 Term
Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

30

 

     (vi) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for the
Term 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 the Term Loan in any particular place or
manner.

          (b) Revolving Loan Borrowings. (i) Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be made on notice,
given not later than (x) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business Day
prior to the date of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, and (y) 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the
day of a Base Rate Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each
Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier, telex, cable or electronic mail. Each notice of a
Revolving Loan Borrowing (a “Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing”) shall be made in the form of a
written Loan Notice, or orally and confirmed immediately in writing, by telecopier, telex, cable or
electronic mail, in the form of a written Loan Notice, specifying therein the requested (i) date of
such Revolving Loan Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Type of Revolving Loan
comprising such Revolving Loan Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Loan Borrowing
and (iv) in the case of a Revolving Loan Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest
Period for each such Revolving Loan. Each Lender shall (A) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time)
on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing) and (B) before 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing), make
available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing
(based upon its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage). After the Administrative Agent’s receipt
of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the
Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower in such manner as the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may agree; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal
amount of any Swing Loan and Letter of Credit Loans as to which the Borrower has received timely
notice made by the Swing Loan Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and by any other Lender
and outstanding on the date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid
thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing Loan Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Loans.

     (ii) Subject to Sections 3.02 and 3.03, each Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Revolving Loan Borrowing by the
Borrower which the related Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing specifies is to be comprised
of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall indemnify each relevant Lender against any
loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or
before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing for such Revolving Loan
Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, including, without
limitation, any loss (excluding

31

 

loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to fund the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Loan
Borrowing when such Revolving Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

     (iii) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the time any Revolving Loan Borrowing is required to be made that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Loan
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (b)(i) of this Section 2.05 and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand a fee in the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00), and such Lender
and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such ratable portion of such Revolving Loan Borrowing together with interest thereon, for
each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Loans comprising such Revolving Loan
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, provided that
the Borrower retains its rights against such Lender with respect to any damages it may incur
as a result of such Lender’s failure to fund, and notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in no event shall the Borrower be liable to such Lender or any other Person for
the interest payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this sentence.
If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan as part of such Revolving
Loan Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

     (iv) The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by it as part of
any Revolving Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its Revolving Loan on the date of such Revolving Loan Borrowing, but no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Loan
to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Loan Borrowing.

     (v) 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 Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived
in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent

32

 

shall return such funds (in
like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (vi) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make 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).

     (vii) 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.

          (c) Swing Loan Borrowings. (i) Each Swing Loan Borrowing shall be made on oral notice, given
not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Swing Loan Borrowing by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly inform the Swing Loan Bank thereof).
Promptly thereafter, the Borrower shall give written notice of the Swing Loan Borrowing (each such
notice a “Notice of Swing Loan Borrowing”) to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail (which
shall give to the Swing Loan Bank prompt notice thereof by electronic mail), and shall specify
therein (i) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of such
Borrowing and (iii) the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be
made available.

     (ii) Upon (i) demand by the Swing Loan Bank, each other Lender shall purchase from the
Swing Loan Bank, and the Swing Loan Bank shall sell and assign to each other Lender, such
other Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of each outstanding Swing Loan made by
the Swing Loan Bank together with related claims for accrued and unpaid interest or (ii) an
Event of Default of the type referred to in clauses (a), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 8.01,
upon a Change of Control or any rescission or restoration of any payment received by the
Swing Loan Bank in respect of any Swing Loan (whether as a result of proceedings in
bankruptcy or otherwise), each Lender shall purchase from the Swing Loan Bank, and the Swing
Loan Bank shall sell and assign to each Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage of each outstanding Swing Loan together with related claims for accrued and
unpaid interest, in each case by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Bank by deposit to the
Administrative Agent at its aforesaid address, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum
of (x) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Loans to be purchased
by such Lender plus (y) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such
portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Loans. Each Lender’s obligation
to make

33

 

such payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Bank
under this paragraph (b)(ii), and the Swing Loan Bank’s right to receive the same, shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under
this paragraph (c)(ii), the financial condition of the Borrower (or any other Person), the
existence of any Default, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 to be satisfied, or the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Swing
Loan Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
Each Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such
outstanding Swing Loans as described above on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor
is made by the Swing Loan Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not
later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first
(1st) Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given
after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Loan Bank to any other Lender of a
portion of the Swing Loan Bank’s Swing Loans, the Swing Loan Bank represents and warrants to
such other Lender that the Swing Loan Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such
interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to such Swing Loan, the Loan Documents or any party thereto. If
and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Loan
available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Loan Bank forthwith on demand such amount together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Swing Loan Bank until the date
such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Loan Bank,
such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Loan by such Lender for
purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans made by
the Swing Loan Bank shall be reduced by such amount pro rata.

          Section 2.06 Conversions or Continuations.

          (a) Each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which
may be given by telephone or in the form of a written Conversion or Continuation Notice. Each such
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business
Days prior to the requested date of any conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or
of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a written Conversion or Continuation Notice appropriately completed and
signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. Each conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) or a
whole multiple of

34

 

One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof. Each
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($500,000.00) or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00)
in excess thereof. Each Conversion or Continuation Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall
specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other
or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Loans to be converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to which existing Loans are to be
converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the
Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable
Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect
to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a conversion to, or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Conversion or Continuation Notice, but fails to specify an
Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

          (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of
an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the
consent of the Required Lenders.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar 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 the Administrative Agent’s prime rate
used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

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

          Section 2.07 Prepayments.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any
time or from time to time voluntarily prepay 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 10:00
a.m. (A) two (2) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on
the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal
amount of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) or a whole multiple of One Million and
00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in

35

 

excess thereof; if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s)
of Loans to be prepaid. All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be
applied ratably to the unpaid installments of principal on the Term Loans. If the Borrower prepays
a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan which the Borrower is prepaying,
the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Revolving Loans and then to Term Loans; and (ii) after giving
effect to the allocations in clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to Base
Rate Loans, then to Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving
Credit Percentage or Applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, 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. Any prepayment of
a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be
applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage or Applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments. Within three hundred sixty five (365) days of any sale or other
disposition of assets by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of the Borrower as permitted by Section
7.06(d) when the proceeds of such sale or other disposition or the aggregate proceeds of all such
sales and other dispositions in any fiscal year exceed Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($25,000,000.00), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Term Loan
equal to the after-tax proceeds of such sale (as estimated in good faith by the Borrower), together
with accrued interest on such principal amount to the extent that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
have not reinvested the proceeds of such sale or other disposition in capital expenditures or
acquisition of replacement assets. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall first be
applied ratably to the unpaid installments of principal on the Term Loan, and then to the Revolving
Loans outstanding, if any, and the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower. All
prepayments required pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall first be applied to the principal
amount of the Base Rate Loans, then to the principal amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans. In
accordance with Sections 3.04 and 3.05, as applicable, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for
any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments
applied against Eurodollar Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest
Period.

          (c) Excess Outstandings. If for any reason the Total Outstandings (excluding the Term Loan
Outstandings) at any time exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the
Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

36

 

          (d) No Reborrowing. Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.07 may not be reborrowed.

          Section 2.08 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

          The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Commitments or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii)
any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00) or any whole multiple of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess
thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total
Outstandings (excluding the Term Loan Outstandings) would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of
termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. Any reduction of the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according
to its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

          Section 2.09 Repayment of Loans.

          (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender the principal amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, and
each Revolving Loan made by such Lender shall mature, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the
Interest Period for such Revolving Loan and (ii) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

          (b) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender, as applicable, the principal amount of the Term Loans made by such Lender to the Borrower
in: consecutive quarterly installments as follows: (i) on the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December, 2010, a quarterly installment each in an amount equal to Eleven
Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($11,250,000.00); (ii) on the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December, 2011, a quarterly installment each in an amount
equal to Eleven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($11,250,000.00); and (iii)
on the last Business Day of each March and June, 2012, a quarterly installment each in an amount
equal to Thirty Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($33,750,000.00),
with the final installment of the remaining principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest due
and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

37

 

          (c) Swing Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Swing Loan Bank and each other Lender that has made a Swing Loan, the outstanding principal amount
of each Swing Loan to the Borrower made by each of them on the
earlier of (i) the first Wednesday following the date of such Swing Loan Borrowing and (ii)
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

          Section 2.10 Interest.

          (a) Subject to Section 2.10(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the respective Applicable Margin; and (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 respective Applicable Margin.

          (b) If any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Loan
Parties hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise,
such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. 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.

          Section 2.11 Interest Rate Determination.

          (a) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the
applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent if the screen rate is unavailable.

          (b) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest
Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the
Lenders and such Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, convert into Base Rate Loans.

          (c) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans
comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or

38

 

otherwise, to less than Ten
Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), such Loans shall automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into Base Rate Loans.

          (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period
therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to
convert Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended.

          (e) If the Reuters LIBOR01 Screen is unavailable and the Administrative Agent cannot determine
the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Loans:

     (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that
the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Loans,

     (ii) each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan (or if such Loan is
then a Base Rate Loan, will continue as a Base Rate Loan), and

     (iii) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Loans
into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

          Section 2.12 Fees.

          (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage, a facility fee equal to the
respective Applicable Margin times the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. The facility fee
shall accrue at all times from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, 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
September, December, March and June, commencing September 30, 2008, and on the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay the following amounts with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank:

     (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank with respect to
each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, an issuance fee equal to one eighth of one
percent (0.125%) per annum of the Available Amount of such Letter of

39

 

Credit, due and payable
in arrears on (A) the last Business Day of each September, December, March and June,
commencing on the first day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand); and

     (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender, a letter of
credit fee equal to a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate
Loans on the Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. The letter of credit
fee shall accrue at all times from and including the Closing Date to and including the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Section 4.02 is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on (A) the
last Business Day of each September, December, March and June, commencing September 30, 2008
and (B) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).

          (c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay: (i) the Documentation Agent, for its own account,
such fees as have been agreed to pursuant to the Documentation Agent Fee Letter; and (ii) the
Administrative Agent, for its own account or the account of the Lenders, as applicable, such fees
as have been agreed pursuant to the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

          Section 2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees.

          All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed when the Base Rate is determined pursuant
to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate. 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). Interest
shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan
that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.15(a), bear interest
for one (1) 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.

          Section 2.14 Evidence of Debt.

          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 to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay

40

 

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) Notes, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition
to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

          Section 2.15 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, 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 Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage or Applicable Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, (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 after 2:00 p.m. shall
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) 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 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders
the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender, in immediately available 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 greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing
under this Section 2.15(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

41

 

          Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

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

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

     (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.16
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.

          Section 2.17 Increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.

          (a) The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than once in any calendar year
prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C, request that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments be increased by an amount of at least Ten Million and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00)
or an integral multiple of Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) in excess thereof (each
a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least ninety (90)
days prior to the scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date then in effect (the “Revolving Credit
Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided,
however that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments
at any time exceed Three Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($300,000,000.00) and (ii) on the date
of any request by the Borrower for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase

42

 

and on the related
Revolving Credit Increase Date the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall have been satisfied.

          (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request by the Borrower
for a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of
such requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Revolving Credit Increase
Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Revolving Credit Commitment
Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments
(the “Revolving Credit Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such
requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Revolving Credit Lender”)
shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
Revolving Credit Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving
Credit Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to
increase the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount that
exceeds the amount of the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the requested Revolving
Credit Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments of such Increasing Revolving Credit Lenders.

          (c) Promptly following each Revolving Credit Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in
the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders
are willing to participate in any requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase on any such
Revolving Credit Commitment Date is less than the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase,
then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion
of the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders
as of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Date; provided, however, that the
Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of Five Million
and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or an integral multiple of One Million and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof.

          (d) On each Revolving Credit Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to
participate in a requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.17(c)
(each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Revolving Credit Lender”) shall become a Lender party to
this Agreement as of such Revolving Credit Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of
each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender for such requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase
shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the
last sentence of Section 2.17(b)) as of such Revolving Credit Increase Date; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Revolving
Credit Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

43

 

     (i) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the
Executive Committee of such Board approving the Revolving Credit Commitment
Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and an opinion of
counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel) satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent;

     (ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Revolving Credit Lender, if any, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each a
“Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Revolving Credit
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and

     (iii) confirmation from each Increasing Revolving Credit Lender of the increase in the
amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

On each Revolving Credit Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.17(d) and in Section 4.03, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the
Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier, of the occurrence of the
Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be effected on such Revolving Credit Increase Date and
shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Revolving
Credit Lender and each Assuming Revolving Credit Lender on such date.

          (e) On the Revolving Credit Increase Date, if any Revolving Loans are then outstanding, the
Borrower shall borrow from all or certain of the Lenders and/or (subject to compliance by the
Borrower with Section 3.05) prepay Revolving Loans of all or certain of the Lenders such that,
after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the Types and
Interest Periods thereof) shall be held by the Lenders (including for such purposes the Increasing
Revolving Credit Lenders and the Assuming Revolving Credit Lenders) ratably in accordance with
their respective Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage after giving effect to such Revolving
Credit Commitment Increase. On and after each Revolving Credit Increase Date, the Applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage of each Lender’s participation in Revolving Loans shall be calculated
after giving effect to each such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

          Section 2.18 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

          (a) The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the
Lenders) not less than forty-five (45) days and not more than ninety (90) days prior to each of the
first (1st) and second (2nd) anniversaries of the Closing Date (each
anniversary, an “Anniversary Date”, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Maturity Date to the date (the “Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date”) that is one

44

 

year after
the then scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion,
shall, by written notice to the Administrative Agent given no later than the date (the
"Consent Date”) that is twenty (20) days prior to the relevant Anniversary Date
(provided that, if such date is not a Business Day, the Consent Date shall be the next
succeeding Business Day), advise the Administrative Agent as to:

     (i) whether such Lender agrees to such extension of its Revolving Credit Maturity Date
(each Lender so agreeing to such extension being an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”);
and

     (ii) only if such Lender is an Extending Revolving Credit Lender, whether such Lender
also irrevocably offers to increase the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment in
connection with the replacement of one or more Non-Extending Lenders (each Lender so
offering to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment being an “Increasing and Extending
Revolving Credit Lender” as well as an Extending Revolving Credit Lender) and, if so, the
amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment such Lender so irrevocably offers to
assume hereunder (such Lender’s “Proposed Additional Revolving Credit Commitment”).

Each Lender that determines not to extend its Revolving Credit Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending
Revolving Credit Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders) of
such fact promptly after such determination but in any event no later than the Consent Date, and
any Lender that does not advise the Administrative Agent in writing on or before the Consent Date
shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lender and (without limiting the Borrower’s
rights under this Section 2.18) shall have no liability to the Borrower in connection therewith.
The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender so to
agree. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under
this Section 2.18(a) no later than the date fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Anniversary
Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

     (b) (i) If all of the Lenders are Extending Revolving Credit Lenders, then, effective
as of the Consent Date, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of each Lender shall be extended
to the Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date as provided in Section 2.18(b)(ii)(1), and
the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders will not be subject to change at
such Consent Date pursuant to this Section 2.18.

     (ii) If and only if the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Extending Revolving Credit Lenders (that are not Increasing and Extending
Revolving Credit Lenders) plus (y) the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional
Revolving Credit Commitments of the Increasing and Extending Revolving Credit Lenders (such
sum, the “Extending Revolving Credit Commitments”) shall be

45

 

equal to at least fifty percent
(50%) of the then total Revolving Credit Commitments, then:

(1) effective as of the Consent Date, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of each
Extending Revolving Credit Lender shall be extended to the Extended Revolving Credit
Maturity Date;

(2) the Borrower shall (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) have the right, but not the obligation, during the period commencing on
the Consent Date and ending on the immediately succeeding Anniversary Date to
replace each Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lender as a party to this Agreement in
accordance with Section 2.18(c); and

(3) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Issuing Bank and the Swing Loan Bank
of the Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the Lenders whose Revolving
Credit Maturity Dates are the Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and the
Issuing Bank and the Swing Loan Bank, acting in its sole discretion, shall determine
whether it shall elect to extend its Revolving Credit Maturity Date to the Extended
Revolving Credit Maturity Date and shall so notify the Administrative Agent, at
which time the Issuing Bank’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.04 and the Swing Loan Bank’s obligation to make Swing Loan pursuant to
Section 2.03 shall be extended to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the
Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

     (iii) If neither of the conditions specified in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this
Section 2.18(b) is satisfied, then neither the Revolving Credit Maturity Date nor the
Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender will change pursuant to this Section 2.18 on such
Consent Date, and the Borrower will not have the right to take any of the actions specified
in Section 2.18(b)(ii)(2).

          (c) Replacement by the Borrower of Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to Section
2.18(b)(ii)(2) shall be effected as follows (certain terms being used in this Section 2.18(c)
having the meanings assigned to them in Section 2.18(d)) on the relevant Assignment Date:

     (i) the Assignors shall severally assign and transfer to the Assignees, and the
Assignees shall severally purchase and assume from the Assignors, all of the Assignors’
rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the Assignors’ respective Revolving
Credit Commitments) hereunder and under the Revolving Credit Notes;

46

 

     (ii) each Assignee shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Assignors,
an amount equal to such Assignee’s Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Loans then held by the Assignors; and

     (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Assignors,
all interest, fees and other amounts (other than principal of outstanding Loans) then due
and owing to the Assignors by the Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation,
payments due such Assignors, if any, under Sections 3.01 and 3.04).

The assignments provided for in this Section 2.18(c) shall be effected on the relevant Assignment
Date in accordance with Section 10.06 and pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumptions.
After giving effect to such assignments, each Assignee shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment
hereunder (which, if such Assignee was a Lender hereunder immediately prior to giving effect to
such assignment, shall be in addition to such Assignee’s existing Revolving Credit Commitment) in
an amount equal to the amount of its Assumed Commitment. Upon any such termination or assignment,
each Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto to the extent of its assignment but shall continue
to be obligated under and be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04, as well as to any fees and
other amounts accrued for its account under Sections 2.12, 3.01 or 3.04 and not yet paid.

          (d) For purposes of this Section 2.18 the following terms shall have the following meanings
(such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms
defined):

          “Assigned Commitments” means the Commitments of Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lenders
to be replaced pursuant to Section 2.18(b)(ii)(2).

          “Assignees” means, at any time, Increasing and Extending Revolving Credit Lenders and,
if the Assigned Commitments exceed the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Revolving Credit
Commitments, one or more Assuming Revolving Credit Lenders.

          “Assignment Date” means the relevant Anniversary Date or such earlier date as shall be
acceptable to the Borrower, the relevant Assignors, the relevant Assignees and the Administrative
Agent.

          “Assignors” means, at any time, the Non-Extending Revolving Credit Lenders to be
replaced by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(b)(ii)(2).

          The “Assumed Commitment” of each Assignee shall be determined as follows:

          (a) If the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of all of
the Increasing Revolving Credit Lenders shall exceed the aggregate

47

 

amount of the Assigned
Commitments, then (i) the amount of the Assumed Commitment of each Increasing and Extending
Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to (x) the aggregate amount of the Assigned Commitments
multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to such Increasing
and Extending Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment as then in
effect and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit
Commitments of all Increasing and Extending Revolving Credit Lenders as then in effect; and (ii) no
Assuming Revolving Credit Lender shall be entitled to become a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section
2.18(c) (and, accordingly, each Assuming Revolving Credit Lender shall have an Assumed Commitment
of zero).

          (b) If the aggregate amount of the Proposed Additional Revolving Credit Commitments of all of
the Increasing and Extending Revolving Credit Lenders shall be less than or equal to the aggregate
amount of the Assigned Commitments, then: (i) the amount of the Assumed Commitment of each
Increasing and Extending Revolving Credit Lender shall be equal to such Increasing and Extending
Revolving Credit Lender’s Proposed Additional Commitment; and (ii) the excess, if any, of the
aggregate amount of the Assigned Commitments over the aggregate amount of the Proposed
Additional Revolving Credit Commitments shall be allocated among Assuming Revolving Credit Lenders
in such a manner as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree.

          (c) “Share” means, as to any Assignee, a fraction the numerator of which is equal to
such Assignee’s Assumed Commitment and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the
Assumed Commitments of all the Assignees.

          Section 2.19 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

          (a) Request for Issuance.

     (i) Each Letter of Credit issued after the date hereof shall be issued upon notice,
given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third (3rd) Business
Day prior to the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such shorter period of time
as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), by the Borrower to the applicable
Issuing Bank. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”)
shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing by telecopier, specifying therein
the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available
Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and
address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit,
and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit (each such
application and agreement being herein called a “Letter of Credit Agreement”) as the Issuing
Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit.

48

 

     (ii) If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is reasonably acceptable to the
applicable Issuing Bank, the Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article 4.02, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower
at its address set forth on Schedule 10.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower
in
connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of
any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall govern.

     (iii) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit
increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender
hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to
such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will
be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of
the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment is amended pursuant to the operation of Section 2.17 or 2.18, as applicable, by
an assignment in accordance with Section 10.06 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

          (b) Drawing and Reimbursement.

     (i) The payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall
constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of
Credit Loan, which shall be a Base Rate Loan, in the amount of such draft. The Issuing Bank
shall give prompt notice (and the Issuing Bank will use its commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver such notice within one (1) Business Day) to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it. Upon written demand by the
Issuing Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such
outstanding Letter of Credit Loan, by making available for the account of its Applicable
Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, by deposit
to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of
the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Loan to be funded by such Lender.

49

 

Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to the
Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees to fund its Applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of such
outstanding Letter of Credit Loan on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made
by the Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first
(1st) Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given
after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of
such Letter of Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date of demand by the Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid
to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of the
Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such
amount for the account of the Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in
respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Loan made by such Lender on such
Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the
Letter of Credit Loan made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such
Business Day.

     (ii) The Lenders’ obligations to make such payments to the applicable Issuing Bank
under this paragraph (b), and the applicable Issuing Bank’s right to receive the same, shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, the
financial condition of the Borrower (or any other account party), the existence of any
Default, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Article IV to be satisfied, or
the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

     (c) The Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the Administrative Agent on the first
(1st) Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and
expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by it during the preceding month and drawings
during such month under all Letters of Credit and (ii) to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender on the first (1st) Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report
setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar
quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by it.

     (d) The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Loan to be made by it on the
date specified in Section 2.19(b) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation
hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Loan to be made by such
other Lender on such date.

50

 

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any
Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of
Credit (and the obligations of the Lenders to purchase portions of Letter of Credit Loans
pursuant to paragraph (b) above) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all
circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances (it being
understood that any such payment by the Borrower is without prejudice to, and does not
constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrower might have or might acquire as a result of
the payment by the Issuing Bank or the Lenders of any draft or the reimbursement by the
Borrower thereof):

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit
Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (this
Agreement and all of the other foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

     (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any
other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related
Documents;

     (iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the Borrower may
have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any
Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing
Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

     (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

     (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
or

     (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower.

51

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

          Section 3.01 Taxes.

          (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower
shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes)
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting Section 3.01(a), the Borrower
shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable
law.

          (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative 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 Entity. A certificate as to the amount of 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.

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

          (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax
purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a

52

 

copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender
that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.06(b)
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment
or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender 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 Closing Date, or in the case of a Foreign Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an
interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (unless the respective Foreign Lender
was already a Foreign Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the
date of such assignment or transfer to such Foreign Lender (and from time to time thereafter upon
the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

     (i) duly and validly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

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

     (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate (a “Non-Bank
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) duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
or

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

53

 

In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date provided there has
not been a Change in Law that makes it unable to do so, when a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it
will deliver to the Borrower new duly completed original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN
(with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Non-Bank Certificate, as the case may be,
and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such
Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to
payments under this Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 3.01(a), (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law,
to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable
hereunder for the account of any Foreign Lender to the extent that such Lender has not provided to
the Borrower United States Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from
such deduction or withholding (or, in the case of a Foreign Lender that has established a reduced
rate of withholding, up to such reduced rate) and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant
to Section 3.01(a) to gross up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar
taxes imposed by the United States if such Lender has not provided the Borrower the Internal
Revenue Service Forms required to be provided the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(e).

          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 3.01, 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 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity 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 Entity) 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
Entity. This Section 3.01(f) 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.

          (g) Form W-9. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes agrees to provide
the Borrower with two accurate and complete signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or

54

 

any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or on the date such Lender becomes a
Lender hereunder as provided in Section 10.06(b)), when a lapse in time or change in circumstances
renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate.

          (h) Alternative Lending Office. If the Borrower is required to pay Lender any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Lender shall, upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower, use reasonable efforts to select an alternative Lending Office which would not result in
the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated
to select an alternative Lending Office if such Lender Party determines that (i) as a result of
such selection such Lender would be in violation of an applicable law, regulation, or treaty, or
would incur unreasonable additional costs or expenses or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable
for regulatory reasons or inconsistent with the interests of such Lender.

          Section 3.02 Illegality.

          If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
Entity has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make,
maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Entity has imposed material restrictions on the authority of
such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market,
then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans
to Eurodollar 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), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender
to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

          Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

          If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the

55

 

Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans 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 Eurodollar Rate Loans or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

          Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar 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 any reserve requirement
contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

     (ii) 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); or

     (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or
expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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 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, as
the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

56

 

          (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 Section 3.04(a) or (b) 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 (10) days after receipt thereof provided such amounts do not relate to any period which
is more than six (6) months prior to the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate.

          (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 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 3.04 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) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, 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 Eurodollar 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), which 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
(10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from
such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment
Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

          Section 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);

57

 

          (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; or

          (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar 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 loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar
Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar
market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate
Loan was in fact so funded.

          Section 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 Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives
a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then upon request of the Borrower, such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce 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.

          (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 Entity for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance
with Section 10.13.

58

 

          Section 3.07 Survival.

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

Lenders that:

          Section 5.01 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.

          The Borrower and each other Loan Party is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite
corporate, partnership or limited liability power and authority to own and operate its material
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted in all material respects
and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction
where the ownership or operation of its properties and assets or conduct of its business requires

standing would not be reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 5.02 Authority.

          Each Loan Party has all requisite power and authority and has taken all action necessary in
order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents and to consummate,
on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the transactions contemplated thereby; each
Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party thereto and is a valid and
legally binding agreement of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with
its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general
equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

          Section 5.03 Governmental Filings; No Violations.

          (a) No notices, reports, registrations or other filings are required to be made by any Loan
Party with, and no consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be
obtained by any Loan Party from, any United States or foreign federal, state, or local governmental
or regulatory authority, agency, commission, body or other governmental

62

 

entity (each a “Governmental Entity”), in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents and the consummation by each Loan Party of the transactions contemplated hereby,
except for those notices, reports, registrations or other filings that have been obtained or which
the failure to make or obtain would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability
of any Loan Party to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

          (b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the consummation by each
Loan Party of the transactions contemplated hereby will not constitute or result in (i) a breach of
any applicable law or regulation, (ii) a breach or violation of, or a default under, either the
articles of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable governing instruments) of such Loan Party or
(iii) a breach or violation of, a default under, the acceleration of any obligations, the loss of
any right or benefit, or the creation of a lien, pledge, security interest or other encumbrance on
the assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower other than the Liens described in
clause (l) or (m) of the definition of Permitted Liens (with or without notice, lapse of time or
both) pursuant to, any agreement, lease, contract, note, mortgage, indenture, arrangement or other
obligation not otherwise terminable by the other party thereto on ninety (90) days or less notice
(“Contracts”) binding upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Law or
governmental or non-governmental permit or license to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
is subject.

          Section 5.04 Financial Statements.

          The Borrower has furnished to the Lenders (a) the Audited Financial Statements and (b) the
unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period
ended June 30, 2008 (collectively the “Financial Statements”). Each of the Financial Statements
(i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered
thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein and (ii) fairly present the financial
condition of the Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results
of operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein and, in the case
of such unaudited statements, except for absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit
adjustments.

          Section 5.05 Disclosure.

          No written information, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation and syndication of this
Agreement or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement contained, as of the respective dates thereof,
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made therein, taken as a whole, not misleading.

63

 

          Section 5.06 Material Adverse Change.

          No event or condition has occurred since the date of the Audited Financial Statements that has
had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Change.

          Section 5.07 Litigation.

          Except as set forth on Schedule 5.07, there are no civil, criminal or administrative
actions, litigation, suits, claims, hearings, investigations, reviews or proceedings (collectively,
“Litigation Claims”), pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, which could reasonably expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or that could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. There are no
material SEC inquiries or investigations, other material governmental inquiries or investigations
or material internal investigations pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, in
each case regarding any accounting practices of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any
malfeasance by any director or executive officer of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

          Section 5.08 Employee Benefits.

          (a) All Compensation and Benefit Plans of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, to the
extent subject to ERISA and the Code, are in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Law. Each Compensation and
Benefit Plan of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries that is an “employee pension benefit
plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Pension Plan”) and that is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter (or
opinion letter, if applicable) from the IRS, and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure
to act, that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or that would
reasonably be expected to result in penalties or fines to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
related to such loss of qualification. There is no material pending or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened litigation or other governmental proceeding relating to any of the
Compensation and Benefit Plans of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower
nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction with respect to any Compensation and
Benefit Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof,
would subject the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to a material tax or penalty imposed by
either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.

          (b) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur.

          (c) All contributions (and premium payments in respect of) required to be made under the terms
of any Compensation and Benefit Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or applicable Law subject
to United States law have been timely made or have been

64

 

reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed or incorporated by reference in
the Company Reports. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required
to provide, security to any Pension Plan subject to United States law or to any single-employer
plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

          (d) Except as disclosed in the Borrower’s 10K and 10Q filings with the SEC, neither the
Borrower nor its Subsidiaries has any obligations for, or liabilities with respect to, retiree
health and life benefits under any Compensation and Benefit Plan of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries subject to United States law, except for benefits required to be provided under
Section 4980B of the Code or any other applicable state law requiring continuation of health
coverage. The total projected liabilities of the Borrower and Subsidiaries retiree health and life
benefits, as disclosed in the Borrower’s 10K and 10Q filings with the SEC, are not reasonably
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) Neither the negotiation and execution of Loan Documents nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or
subsequent events) constitute an event under any Compensation and Benefit Plan of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise),
acceleration of payment, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits
or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee or former employee of the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries.

          (f) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has or could reasonably be expected to
have any material liabilities or obligations arising out of a failure to operate any Compensation
and Benefit Plan in good faith compliance with Code Section 409A since January 1, 2006.

          (g) With respect to each Compensation and Benefit Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
not subject to United States law (a “Company Foreign Benefit Plan”): (i) each Company Foreign
Benefit Plan is in compliance with applicable Law; (ii) each Company Foreign Benefit Plan required
to be registered with a regulatory agency or authority has been registered and has been maintained
in good standing with such agency or authority, and (C) the fair market value of the assets of each
Company Foreign Benefit Plan is sufficient to provide for the accrued benefit obligations with
respect to all current and former participants in such plan according to the actuarial assumptions
and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Company Foreign
Benefit Plan.

          Section 5.09 Compliance with Laws.

          The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (other than Environmental Laws which are

65

 

addressed in Section 5.10) except where the failure to comply would not be reasonably expected
to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 5.10 Environmental Matters.

          Except for such matters that would not be reasonably expected to cause, either individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) the operations of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are and have been in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) each of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries possesses and maintains in effect all environmental permits,
licenses, authorizations and approvals required under applicable Environmental Laws with respect to
the properties and business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; (iii) neither the Borrower nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received any written environmental claim, notice or request for
information concerning any violation or alleged violation of any applicable Environmental Law, nor,
to the Borrower’s knowledge, is there any existing factual or legal basis for any such claim,
notice or request for information; (iv) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any
knowledge of a release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances in violation of any
Environmental Law which would reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries at any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former properties or at any other
property arising from its or any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former operations; (v) to the
Borrower’s knowledge there are no writs, injunctions, decrees, orders or judgments outstanding, or
any actions, suits or proceedings pending relating to compliance by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries with any environmental permits, licenses, authorizations and approvals required under
applicable Environmental Laws or liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any
applicable Environmental Law; and (vi) to the Borrower’s knowledge no Lien has been placed upon any
of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ properties (whether owned, leased or managed) under any
Environmental Law.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (including, but not
limited to, Section 5.09), the representations and warranties of the Borrower in this Section 5.10
constitute the sole representations and warranties of the Borrower with respect to any
Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance.

          Section 5.11 Payment of Taxes.

          The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and
other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other
taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority
(other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary).

66

 

No tax Lien has been filed and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted,
with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

          Section 5.12 Intellectual Property.

          (a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed or otherwise possesses
sufficient legally enforceable rights to use and enforce all Intellectual Property Rights, except
for any such failures to own, be licensed, possess or enforce that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Except for such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, to the Borrower’s knowledge, the use of any
Intellectual Property Rights by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries does not conflict with, infringe
upon, violate or interfere with, or constitute an appropriation of any right, title, interest or
goodwill, including any valid patent, trademark, trade name, service mark or copyright or other
intellectual property right of any other Person.

          Section 5.13 Title to Properties.

          The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and valid title to, or valid leasehold
interests in, all of its material properties and assets, free and clear of all Liens other than
Permitted Liens and such Liens that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 5.14 Material Contracts.

          Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has breached, or received in writing any
claim that it has breached any of the terms and conditions of any Contract to which it is a party
or by which it is bound in such a manner as, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Contract to which the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound that has not expired or terminated by its terms is
valid and in full force and effect, binding upon the Borrower or such Subsidiary in accordance with
its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, except where the failure to be valid and
in full force and effect or not binding, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 5.15 Insurance.

          The Borrower maintains for itself and its Subsidiaries insurance policies covering the assets,
business interruption, equipment, properties, employees, directors and officers and liability
claims, and such other forms of insurance in such amounts, with such deductibles and

67

 

against such risks and losses as, in its judgment, are reasonable for the business and assets
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect, all
premiums due and payable thereon have been paid, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are
otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of such policies and bonds except for
failures to so comply that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 5.16 Federal Reserve Regulations.

          No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary is engaged, directly or indirectly, principally, or as one of
its important activities, in the business of extending, or arranging for the extension of, credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will
be used in a manner which would violate, or result in a violation of, Regulation T, U or X of the
FRB. Neither the making of any Loan hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or
be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulations T, U or X.

          Section 5.17 Investment Company.

          No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary is, or after giving effect to any Borrowing will be, an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          Section 5.18 Subsidiaries.

          Schedule 5.18, as updated from time to time by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.09,
sets forth the name and jurisdiction of formation of each Subsidiary and the percentage of each
class of capital stock or other ownership interest owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary as of
the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Subsidiaries executing a Subsidiary
Guaranty as of the Closing Date constitute all the Material Subsidiaries of the Borrower which are
Domestic Subsidiaries. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the capital stock of each Material Subsidiary
which is a Foreign Subsidiary of the Borrower as of the Closing Date has been pledged to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to a Pledge Agreement, or in the case of any Material Subsidiary
which is a Foreign Subsidiary but is owned by a Foreign Subsidiary, sixty-five percent (65%) of the
capital stock of the first-tier Foreign Subsidiary which owns such Material Subsidiary which is a
Foreign Subsidiary has been pledged to the Administrative Agent.

          Section 5.19 Solvency.

          Each Loan Party is, individually and together with its Subsidiaries, Solvent.

68

 

          Section 5.20 Pledged Equity.

          The Pledge Agreements create legal and valid, perfected first priority Liens on the Pledged
Equity.

          Section 5.21 Pari Passu.

          The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes rank at least pari passu in
priority of payment with all other Debt of the Borrower, except Debt of the Borrower secured by

Guarantor rank at least pari passu in priority of payment with all other Debt of such Guarantor,
except Debt of such Guarantor secured by Permitted Liens.

ARTICLE VI

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

          From and after the Closing Date, so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder,
any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding or any Loan or other Obligation (other than
contingent indemnification obligations with respect to unasserted claims) hereunder shall remain
unpaid or unsatisfied, the Borrower shall:

          Section 6.01 Financial Reporting.

          Furnish to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to each Lender):

Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in
comparative form the corresponding figures for the preceding fiscal year, accompanied by an opinion
of certified public accountants of recognized standing which are reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, which opinion shall not be limited as to scope or contain a “going concern”
or like qualification or exception and shall state that such financial statements fairly present
the consolidated financial condition and results of operations, as the case may be, of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP as at the end of, and for, such fiscal year.

          (b) As soon as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days after the close of each of
the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, the consolidated unaudited balance sheets of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the close of each such period and related consolidated

fiscal year to the end of such fiscal Quarter, in each case setting forth in

69

 

comparative form results of the corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year, all
certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower as fairly presenting the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such period in
accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes).

          (c) Together with the financial statements required by Sections 6.01(a) and (b), a compliance
certificate in the form of Exhibit I signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower showing
the calculations necessary to determine compliance with Section 7.04 of this Agreement and stating

stating the nature and status thereof and the details of any action taken or proposed to be taken
with respect thereto.

          (d) As soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) days after an executive officer of

Events that have occurred, could result in a material liability to the Loan Parties, a statement,
signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, describing such ERISA Event and the action which the
Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto.

          (e) Promptly upon the filing thereof, copies of all filings and annual, quarterly, monthly or
other regular reports which the Borrower or any Subsidiary files with the SEC.

          (f) Subject to Section 10.07, such other information regarding the operations, business
affairs and financial condition of a Loan Party or Subsidiary or compliance with this Agreement as
the Administrative Agent or any Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

Information required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and (b) and Section 6.01(e) shall
be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which the Borrower provides written notice to the
Lenders that such information has been posted on the Borrower’s website on the Internet at
http://www.rtiintl.com/ or at http://www.sec.gov; provided that such notice may be included in the
certificates delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(c); provided further that the Borrower shall
deliver paper copies of the information referred to in Section 6.01(d) and that, if any Lender
requests delivery thereof, the Borrower shall deliver to such Lender paper copies of the
information referred to in Sections 6.01(a) and (b) and Section 6.01(e) within five (5) Business
Days after delivery is otherwise required hereunder.

          The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Documentation
Agent may make available to the Lenders materials or information provided by or on behalf of the
Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on
IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may
be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive

70

 

material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made
available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by
marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as
either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and
proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal
and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made
available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the
Administrative Agent and the Documentation Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials
that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not
designated “Public Investor.”

          Section 6.02 Notices.

          Notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender promptly, but in any event not later than five
(5) Business Days (unless otherwise indicated below) after an executive officer of the Borrower
obtains knowledge thereof, of the following:

          (a) The occurrence of any Default if such Default is continuing.

          (b) The occurrence of any other development, financial or otherwise, relating specifically to
the Borrower or any Subsidiaries (and not of a general economic or political nature) which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) Any judicial or administrative order limiting or controlling the business of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries (and not the industry in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is
engaged generally) which has been issued or adopted which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) The commencement of any litigation which could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 6.03 Use of Proceeds.

          Use the proceeds of the Loans only to pay fees and expenses related to the closing of the
Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to fund capital expenditures and for general
corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of Regulation T, U or Regulation X of the
Regulations of the FRB.

71

 

          Section 6.04 Preservation of Existence.

          Except as permitted under Section 7.05, maintain and cause each Material Subsidiary to
maintain its corporate, partnership or limited liability company existence and its good standing in
the state of its formation and in each other jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of
property or the nature of its businesses make such qualification necessary (except for such
jurisdictions in which such failure to be so qualified individually or in the aggregate would not
result in a Material Adverse Effect).

          Section 6.05 Insurance.

          Maintain, and cause each Subsidiary to maintain, with financially responsible insurance
companies (or through self insurance to the extent consistent with prudent business practice)
insurance in such amounts and against such risks and losses as are consistent with the insurance
maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice.

          Section 6.06 Compliance with Laws.

          Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, in all material respects with the
requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to which it may
be subject, the failure to comply with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          Section 6.07 Access.

          Upon reasonable prior notice, and except as may otherwise be required or restricted by
applicable Law, afford, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to afford, the officers,
employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives of the Administrative Agent
and each Lender reasonable access, during normal business hours, to its executive officers, to its
properties, books, contracts and records and furnish promptly all information concerning its
business, properties, personnel and Litigation Claims as may reasonably be requested but only to
the extent such access does not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall
affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Borrower in this
Agreement; provided that neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to
provide information (a) in breach of applicable Law, (b) that is subject to confidentiality
obligations or (c) where disclosure would affect attorney-client privilege. All requests for
information made pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall be directed to an executive officer of the
Borrower or such other Person as may be designated by its executive officers. Each Lender shall
attempt to coordinate such rights with those of the Administrative Agent.

72

 

          Section 6.08 Payment Taxes and Other Obligations.

          Pay its obligations, including Tax liabilities, that if not paid, could reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default,
except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

          Section 6.09 New Material Subsidiaries.

          Cause each Domestic Subsidiary that shall at any time after the Closing Date become a Material
Subsidiary to enter into a Guaranty Supplement no later than thirty (30) days after such Domestic
Subsidiary shall become a Material Subsidiary, as determined at the end of each fiscal quarter of
the Borrower. No later than forty-five (45) days after the Borrower or such Domestic Subsidiary
shall acquire or otherwise own, directly or indirectly, after the Closing Date, any Foreign
Subsidiary which is a Material Subsidiary as determined at the end of each fiscal quarter of the
Borrower, enter into, or cause such Domestic Subsidiary to enter into, a Pledge Agreement and
deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Documentation Agent in the
jurisdiction of such Foreign Subsidiary whose ownership interests are subject to such Pledge
Agreement with respect to the due authorization, enforceability and perfection of such pledge.

the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the Borrower will, pay to the Issuing Bank on
behalf of the Lenders in same day funds at the Issuing Bank’s

82

 

office designated in such demand, for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount
equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing
Bank. If at any time the Issuing Bank determines that any funds held in the L/C Cash Collateral
Account are subject to any equal or prior right or claim of any Person other than the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or that the total amount of such funds is less than the
aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by
the Issuing Bank, pay to the Issuing Bank, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C
Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (1) such aggregate Available Amount over
(2) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account that the
Issuing Bank determines to be free and clear of any such equal or prior right and claim.

          (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Issuing Bank to open at any time upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default a non-interest bearing account with the Issuing
Bank at its address designated in Section 10.02 in the name of the Borrower but in connection with
which the Issuing Bank shall be the sole entitlement holder or customer (the “L/C Cash Collateral
Account”), and hereby pledges and assigns and grants to the Issuing Bank on behalf of itself and of
the Lenders a security interest in the following collateral (the “L/C Cash Collateral Account
Collateral”):

     (i) the L/C Cash Collateral Account, all funds held therein and all certificates and
instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the investment of funds
held therein,

     (ii) all L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments from time to time, and all
certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C
Cash Collateral Account Investments,

     (iii) all notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other
instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Issuing Bank for or
on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then
existing L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral,

     (iv) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of
the then existing L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral, and

     (v) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing L/C Cash Collateral Account
Collateral.

          (c) If requested by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank will, subject to the provisions of
clause (e) below, from time to time (i) invest amounts on deposit in the L/C Cash

83

 

Collateral Account in such notes, certificates of deposit and other debt instruments as the
Borrower may select and the Issuing Bank may approve and (ii) invest interest paid on the notes,
certificates of deposit and other instruments referred to in clause (i) above, and reinvest other
proceeds of any such notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments which may mature or be
sold, in each case in such notes, certificates of deposit and other debt instruments as the
Borrower may select and the Issuing Bank may approve (the notes, certificates of deposit and other
instruments referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above being collectively “L/C Cash Collateral
Account Investments”). Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in L/C Cash
Collateral Account Investments as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash
Collateral Account.

          (d) Upon such time as (i) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit is reduced
to zero and such Letters of Credit are expired or terminated by their terms and all amounts payable
in respect thereof, including but not limited to principal, interest, commissions, fees and
expenses, have been paid in full in cash, and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under this Agreement, the Issuing Bank will pay and release to the Borrower or at its
order (a) accrued interest due and payable on the L/C Cash Collateral Account Investments and in
the L/C Cash Collateral Account, and (b) the balance remaining in the L/C Cash Collateral Account
after the application, if any, by the Issuing Bank of funds in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to
the payment of amounts described in clause (i) of this subsection (d).

          (e) (i) The Issuing Bank may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at
any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the L/C Cash
Collateral Account against the obligations of the Borrower in respect of Letters of Credit
(collectively, the “L/C Cash Collateral Account Obligations”) or any part thereof. The Issuing
Bank agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such set off and application, provided that
the failure of any Issuing Bank to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off
and application.

     (ii) The Issuing Bank may also exercise in respect of the L/C Cash Collateral Account
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time (the “UCC”) (whether or not
the UCC applies to the affected L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral), and may also,
without notice except as specified below, sell the L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Issuing
Bank’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other
terms as the Issuing Bank may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the
Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. No Issuing Bank shall be obligated
to make any sale of L/C Cash Collateral

84

 

Account Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Issuing Bank
may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned.

     (iii) Any cash held by any Issuing Bank as L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral and
all cash proceeds received by any Issuing Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon all or any part of the L/C Cash Collateral Account Collateral may,
in the discretion of the Issuing Bank, be held by the Issuing Bank as collateral for, and/or

the Issuing Bank reasonably determines is required to be maintained after taking into consideration
any rights or claims of any Persons other than the Issuing Bank.

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 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 thirty (30) days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint 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 (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold

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 in this Section 9.06).
The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those

provisions of this Article IX 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.

          Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent or Documentation Agent and Other Lenders.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation 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, the Documentation 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.

          Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Fifth Third Bank, in its capacity as

Agreement.

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

and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on
behalf of 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

recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.

          Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

          No failure by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall

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

92

 

privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers
and privileges provided by law.

          Section 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/or the Documentation Agent and their respective Affiliates
(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent
and/or the Documentation Agent, as applicable), 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, the Documentation Agent or any Issuing Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent or any Issuing Bank), in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.04, or (B) in connection
with the Loans made and Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans and
Letters of Credit.

          (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
(and any sub-agent thereof), the Documentation Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank
and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), 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 or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or
proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its

Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of

93

 

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 Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. It is
understood that the Borrower shall not, in connection with any action or related actions in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for
all Indemnitees, unless the Indemnitees shall have concluded that representation of all
the Indemnitees by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests among them.

          (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.04(a) or (b) to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Documentation 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 sub-agent thereof), the Documentation Agent (or any such sub-agent),
or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share, (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
and/or the Documentation 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 and/or the Documentation
Agent (or any such sub-agent), in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders
under this Section 10.04(c) are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05(a)(v) and 2.05(b)(vi).

          (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee
referred to in Section 10.04(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
or unauthorized recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other similar information transmission systems in connection with
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

          (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten
(10) Business Days after demand therefor.

          (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, or Issuing Bank the

94

 

termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
the other Obligations.

          Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside.

          To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank 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, the Issuing Bank 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) the Issuing Bank and 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 Federal Funds Rate from time to time in
effect. The obligations of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding
sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

          Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon

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 Section 10.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

95

 

(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided
that

     (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding

all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the
Loans or the Commitment assigned;

     (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent and,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such consents
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is

otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

     (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of Three
Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($3,500.00), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall
not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the Eligible 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

96

 

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 Notes to the assignee Lender.
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this Section 10.06(b) 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 Section 10.06(d).

          (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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or
substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other
Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the
Register.

          (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the 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 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
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 Section 10.06(e), the 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 Section 10.06(b). 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

97

 

subject to Section 2.16 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, 3.04 or 3.05 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 Notes, if any) to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Lender that
is also the Issuing Bank assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Loans pursuant to
subsection (b) above, such Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank, the
Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of such Lender as Issuing Bank. If any such Lender resigns as Issuing
Bank, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to
all Letters of Credit issued by it in such capacity outstanding as of the effective date of its
resignation as Issuing Bank (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund
participations in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.19).

98

 

          Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

          Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank 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 managers, administrators, trustees,
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and each such Person shall be bound by the provisions of Section 10.07
as if it were a Lender hereunder), (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 the
enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to any 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 party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or
derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower
and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the
CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower 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, the Issuing Bank or
any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower. With respect to any disclosure made pursuant to clause (c) above, each of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees that it will notify the Borrower as
soon as practical in the event of any such disclosure (other than disclosures made at the request
of a regulatory authority), unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable law or legal
process.

          For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to the
disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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.

99

 

          Section 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 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 10.08 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.

          Section 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.

          Section 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, and the
Documentation Agent Fee Letter 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a

100

 

signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          Section 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 until repayment in full of all Obligations (other
than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to unasserted claims). 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.

          Section 10.12 Severability.

          If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties hereto 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.

          Section 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 Entity for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, 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)(iv);

101

 

          (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.

          Section 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. The Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
Courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York and of the United States District
Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate Court from any thereof, in any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or
any other Loan Party or its properties in the Courts of any jurisdiction.

          (c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any Court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section 10.14. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent

102

 

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.

          Section 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.

          Section 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

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

          Section 10.17 Amendment and Restatement.

          This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement and upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall,
subject to this Section 10.17, be superseded hereby. All references to the “Credit Agreement”
contained in the other Loan Documents delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement or
this Agreement shall, and shall be deemed to, refer to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Obligations of
the Borrower and the other Loan Parties outstanding under

103

 

the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the Closing Date shall remain
outstanding and shall constitute continuing Obligations and shall continue as such to be secured by
the Pledged Equity. Such Obligations shall in all respects be continuing and this Agreement shall
not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such Obligations.
The Liens securing payment of the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and
restated in the form of this Agreement, shall in all respects be continuing, securing the payment
of all Obligations.

Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2008, by and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, the
Swing Loan Bank, the Issuing Bank, PNC Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent, and

time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, in conjunction with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and in
consideration of the financial and other support that the Borrower has provided, and such financial
and other support as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the undersigned (each, a
“Guarantor” and collectively, together with each of their respective successors, the “Guarantors”)
and in order to induce the Lenders, the Swing Loan Bank, the Issuing Bank, the Documentation Agent
and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make extensions of credit
and issue letters of credit thereunder, the Guarantors are willing, jointly and severally, to amend
and restate the Existing Guaranty and continue to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower under
the Credit Agreement and the Notes issued thereunder pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as
follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

     Section 1.01 Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined
herein are used herein as therein defined, and the provisions of Sections 1.02 through

 

 

1.04 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Subsidiary Guaranty. In addition, the
following terms, as used herein, have the following meanings:

     “Guaranteed Obligations” means (i) all obligations of the Borrower in respect of principal of
and interest on the Loans, the Letters of Credit and the Notes, (ii) all other amounts payable by
the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any Note and (iii) all renewals
or extensions of the foregoing, in each case whether now outstanding or hereafter arising. The
Guaranteed Obligations shall include, without limitation, any interest, costs, fees and expenses
which accrue on or with respect to any of the foregoing and are payable by the Borrower pursuant to
the Credit Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any Note, whether before or after the commencement
of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of
any Loan Party, and any such interest, costs, fees and expenses that would have accrued thereon or
with respect thereto and would have been payable by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
any Letter of Credit or any Note but for the commencement of such case, proceeding or other action.

     “Guaranteed Parties” means the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Swing Loan
Bank, the Issuing Bank and each Lender.

ARTICLE II

GUARANTEE

     Section 2.01 The Guarantee. Subject to Section 2.03, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees to the Lenders, the Swing Loan Bank, the Issuing Bank, the
Documentation Agent and the Administrative Agent and to each of them, the due and punctual payment
of all Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at
maturity, by declaration or otherwise, according to the terms thereof. This is a continuing
guarantee and a guarantee of payment and not merely of collection. In case of failure by the
Borrower punctually to pay the indebtedness guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor, subject to Section
2.03, hereby unconditionally agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the
same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or by declaration or otherwise, and as if
such payment were made by the Borrower. Each Guarantor further agrees that, if any payment made
by the Borrower or any other person and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time
annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or
otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, any such Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be and
remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to
any of the foregoing, this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered, this Guaranty shall
be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not
diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Guarantor in
respect of the amount of such payment.

     Section 2.02 Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article
II shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

- 2 -

 

          (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any
obligation of any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

          (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document (other than as
specified in an amendment or waiver of this Subsidiary Guaranty effected in accordance with
Section 2.03);

          (c) any modification, amendment, waiver, release, non-perfection or invalidity of any
Guaranteed Obligation, direct or indirect security, or of any guaranty or other liability of any
third party, for any obligation of any other Loan Party under any Loan Document;

          (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any other Loan Party, or
any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Loan
Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any other Loan
Party contained in any Loan Document;

          (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any
time against any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Swing
Loan Bank, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection
with the Loan Document; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any
such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

          (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Loan Party for any
reason of any Loan Document, any Guaranteed Obligation or any provision of applicable law or
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any other Loan Party of the principal of or
interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any other Loan Party under any Loan Document;

          (g) the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security
for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them;

          (h) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting
any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or rights of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation
Agent, the Swing Loan Bank, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders with respect thereto; or

          (i) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any other Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Swing Loan Bank, the Issuing Bank, any Lender
or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of
this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of such Guarantor
under this Article 2.

     Section 2.03 Limit of Liability. Each Guarantor shall be liable under this Subsidiary
Guaranty only for amounts aggregating up to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
or any comparable provisions of any other applicable law. To the extent that any Guarantor shall
be required hereunder to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall

- 3 -

 

exceed the greater of (i) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such
Guarantor from the incurrence of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the amount which
such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower and any other
Guarantors) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth at the date enforcement hereunder
is sought bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors at the date enforcement hereunder
is sought (the “Contribution Percentage”), then such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution
against each other Guarantor who has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and
including the date enforcement hereunder is sought in an aggregate amount less than such other
Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date
enforcement hereunder is sought by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;
provided that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to unasserted claims)
have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, it being expressly
recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that each Guarantor’s right of contribution arising
pursuant to this Section 2.03 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and
subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations and any other obligations owing hereunder or under any other Subsidiary Guaranty.
Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations
with respect to unasserted claims) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments have
been terminated, no Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
have any right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such
payment. The Guarantor recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising
hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this
connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any other
Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain
solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

     Section 2.04 Discharge; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Guarantors’ obligations
under this Article II shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated
and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower under
the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of
or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any other Loan Party or otherwise, the Guarantors’ obligations under this
Article II with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment
had become due but had not been made at such time.

     Section 2.05 Waiver. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any
time any action be taken by any Person against any other Loan Party or any other Person.

     Section 2.06 Subrogation and Contribution. Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to unasserted claims) have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, no Guarantor shall enforce or
otherwise exercise any rights to which it may be entitled, by operation of law or

- 4 -

 

otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder (i) to be subrogated to the rights of the payee
against the Borrower with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or
exonerated by any other Loan Party in respect thereof or (ii) to receive any payment, in the
nature of contribution or for any other reason, from any other Loan Party with respect to such
payment. Any sums received in violation of the foregoing by any Guarantor shall be deemed to have
been received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties, and shall be promptly paid
over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without otherwise
affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

     Section 2.07 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms
of the Loan Documents shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand
by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.

payment under or in connection with this Subsidiary Guaranty, is made or satisfied in a
currency (the “Other Currency”) other than that in which the relevant payment is due (the
“Required Currency”) then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into the Required
Currency at the rate of exchange on the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the party
entitled thereto (the “Payee”) to purchase the Required Currency with the other Currency on the
date of payment, at the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so)
