“Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver which
pursuant to the terms of Section 11.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the
affected Lenders and with respect to which the Requisite Lenders shall have granted their consent,
then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent),
upon ten (10) Banking Days’ prior notice to the Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent,
to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign, in
accordance with Section 11.8, all of its Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and Commitment
hereunder to one or more other then-existing Lenders or to another Eligible Assignee reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) the Borrower shall pay to

pursuant to Section 3.6(e), (b) the replacement Lender shall pay the assignment fee referred to in
Section 11.8(d), (c) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable

position: “N  —  WildBlue Acquisition Documents.”

Agreement, as amended by the Prior Amendments and this Amendment.

     20. A new Exhibit Q (New Lender Addendum) is attached to the Credit Agreement,
immediately following Exhibit P, such Exhibit to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
Q.

     21. No course of dealing on the part of Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or their officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and
any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such
right. Administrative Agent’s, Collateral Agent’s or any Lenders’ failure at any time to require
strict performance by Borrower of any provision of any Loan Document shall not affect any right of
any Lender, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and
performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

     22. The Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except
as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not
operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement or in any other document or
documents relating thereto are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date
hereof as though made on and date hereof, and all such representations and warranties shall survive

to time from the Closing Date through the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, each Lender shall, pro rata
according to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the then applicable Commitment, make Advances to
Borrower under the Commitment in such amounts as Borrower may request that do not result in the
sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under
the Revolving Notes, (ii) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Swing Line
Notes and (iii) the Aggregate Effective Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the
then applicable Commitment. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, Borrower may borrow,

shall specify the requested (i) date of such Loan, (ii) type of Loan, (iii) amount of such Loan,
and (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Eurodollar Period for such Loan. Unless the
Administrative Agent has notified, in its reasonable discretion, Borrower to the contrary, a Loan
may be requested by telephone by a Responsible Official of Borrower, in which case Borrower shall
confirm such request by promptly delivering a Request for Loan (conforming to the preceding
sentence) in person or by telecopier to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
incur no liability whatsoever hereunder in acting upon any telephonic request for Loan purportedly
made by a Responsible Official of Borrower, and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of so acting.

          (c) Promptly following receipt of a Request for Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender by telephone or telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier) of
the date and type of the Loan, the applicable Eurodollar Period, and that Lender’s Pro Rata Share
of the Loan. Not later than 12:00 p.m., California time, on the date specified for any Loan (which
must be a Banking Day), each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Loan in immediately
available funds available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Upon

Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be not less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000
and each Revolving Loan which is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be not less than $5,000,000 and in an
integral multiple of $1,000,000. Unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, each Swing Line
Advance shall be not less than $250,000 and in an integral multiple of $250,000.

          (e) The Advances made by each Lender under the Commitment shall be evidenced by that Lender’s

          (f) A Request for Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall become irrevocable three
Eurodollar Banking Days before the requested date of the Loan. A Request for Loan that is an
Alternate Base Rate Loan shall become irrevocable one Banking Day before the requested date of the
Loan.

          (g) If no Request for Loan (or telephonic request for Loan referred to in the second sentence
of Section 2.1(c), if applicable) has been made within the requisite notice periods set forth in
Section 2.2 or 2.3 prior to the end of the Eurodollar Period for any outstanding Eurodollar Rate
Loan, then on the last day of such Eurodollar Period, such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be
automatically converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan in the same amount.

     2.2 Alternate Base Rate Loans. Each request by Borrower for an Alternate Base Rate
Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan (or telephonic or other request for loan referred
to in the second sentence of Section 2.1(c), if applicable) received by the Administrative Agent,
at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than 10:00 a.m. California time, on the date (which
must be a Banking Day) immediately prior to the date of the requested Alternate Base Rate Loan.
All Loans shall constitute Alternate Base Rate Loans unless properly designated as a Eurodollar

     2.3 Eurodollar Rate Loans.

          (a) Each request by Borrower for a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request
for Loan (or telephonic or other request for Loan referred to in the second sentence of Section
2.1(c), if applicable) received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office,
not later than 9:00 a.m., California time, at least three (3) Eurodollar Banking Days before the
first day of the applicable Eurodollar Period.

          (b) On the date which is two (2) Eurodollar Banking Days before the first day of the
applicable Eurodollar Period, the Administrative Agent shall confirm its determination of the
applicable Eurodollar Rate (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error) and promptly shall give notice of the same to Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or
telecopier (and if by telephone, promptly confirmed by telecopier).

          (c) Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, no more than
four (4) Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be outstanding at any one time.

 

 

          (d) No Eurodollar Rate Loan may be requested during the continuation of a Default or Event of
Default.

          (e) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to fund any Eurodollar Rate Advance in
the Designated Eurodollar Market.

     2.4 Letters of Credit.

          (a) The Existing Letters of Credit described in Schedule 2.4 shall be Letters of
Credit for all purposes under this Agreement.

     (1) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to
time from the Closing Date through the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Issuing
Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit under the Commitment as Borrower may
request by a Request for Letter of Credit; provided that:

(i) giving effect to all such Letters of Credit, the sum of:

     (A) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the
Revolving Notes; plus

     (B) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Swing
Line Notes; plus

     (C) the Aggregate Effective Amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, does not exceed the then applicable Commitment; and

 (ii) the Aggregate Effective Amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit
does not exceed $35,000,000.

     (2) Each Letter of Credit shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Issuing Lender.

     (3) Unless all the Lenders otherwise consent in a writing delivered to the
Administrative Agent, the term of any Letter of Credit (other than any Existing
Letters of Credit) shall not exceed twenty four (24) months.

     (4) The term of any Letter of Credit (other than any Existing Letters of
Credit) shall not extend beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date unless all the
Lenders otherwise consent in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent;
provided, however, that a condition to the repayment in full of the
Obligations and release of the Collateral shall include either (a) the Borrower’s
provision to the Issuing Lender of cash collateral in the amount equal to 100% of
the face amount of any Letter of Credit that will remain outstanding after repayment
in full of the Obligations other than those relating to such Letter of Credit (or
such lesser amount as shall then be available for drawing under any Letter of
Credit); or

 

 

(b) the Borrower’s provision to the Issuing Lender of a “back-up”
standby letter of credit in the full face amount of any Letter of Credit that will remain
outstanding after repayment in full of the Obligations other than those relating to
such Letter of Credit (or such lesser amount as shall then be available under the
Requested Letter of Credit) issued by a bank acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its
reasonable discretion.

          (b) Each Request for Letter of Credit shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender, with a copy to
the Administrative Agent, at least two (2) Banking Days prior to the date upon which the related
Letter of Credit is proposed to be issued. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Issuing Lender whether such Request for Letter of Credit, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit
pursuant thereto, conforms to the requirements of this Agreement. Upon issuance of a Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of the amount and terms thereof.

          (c) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a
pro rata participation in such Letter of Credit from the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to that
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s
participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been
reimbursed by Borrower for any payment required to be made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter
of Credit, each Lender shall, pro rata according to its Pro Rata Share, reimburse the Issuing
Lender through the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for the amount of such payment. The
obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any other occurrence or
event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit together with interest as hereinafter provided.

          (d) Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent an amount
equal to any payment made by the Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit within one
(1) Banking Day after demand made by the Issuing Lender therefor, together with interest on such
amount from the date of any payment made by the Issuing Lender at the rate applicable to Alternate
Base Rate Loans for two (2) Banking Days and thereafter at the Default Rate. The principal amount
of any such payment shall be used to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the payment made by it under
the Letter of Credit and, to the extent that the Lenders have not reimbursed the Issuing Lender
pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the interest amount of any such payment shall be for the account of the
Issuing Lender. Each Lender that has reimbursed the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c) for
its Pro Rata Share of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit shall
thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such reimbursement, in the claim of
the Issuing Lender against Borrower for reimbursement of principal and interest under this Section
2.4(d) and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment
made by Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only
with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender reimbursed the Issuing Lender) with
respect to such claim.

 

 

          (e) Borrower may, pursuant to a Request for Loan, request that Advances be made pursuant to
Section 2.1(a) to provide funds for the payment required by Section 2.4(d) and, for this purpose,
the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply. The proceeds of such Advances
shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the
Letter of Credit.

          (f) If Borrower fails to make the payment required by Section 2.4(d) within the time period
therein set forth, in lieu of the reimbursement to the Issuing Lender under Section 2.4(c) the
Issuing Lender may (but is not required to), without notice to or the consent of Borrower, instruct
the Administrative Agent to cause Advances to be made by the Lenders under the Commitment in an
aggregate amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Lender with respect to that Letter of
Credit and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 shall not apply. The
proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender to reimburse it for the
payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.

          (g) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to or of
any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of
Credit.

          (h) The obligation of Borrower to pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by
the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable,
subject only to performance by the Issuing Lender of its obligations to Borrower under Uniform
Commercial Code Section 5109. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower’s obligations shall not be
affected by any of the following circumstances:

          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability prior to its stated expiration date
of the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto;

          (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Letter of
Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, with
the consent of Borrower;

          (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights which
Borrower may have at any time against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, any beneficiary of the Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities
for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in
connection with the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;

          (iv) any demand, statement, or any other document presented under the 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

 

 

whatsoever so long as any such document appeared substantially to comply with the terms of the Letter
of Credit;

          (v) payment by the Issuing Lender in good faith under the Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or any accompanying document
which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, unless
the acceptance of such draft or other accompanying document constituted gross
negligence;

          (vi) the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or
delivery of any Property purported to be represented by documents presented in
connection with any Letter of Credit or any difference between any such Property and
the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such Property as described
in such documents;

          (vii) the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of
Property as described in documents presented in connection with any Letter of Credit
or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto;

          (viii) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any
documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

          (ix) any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any Property;

          (x) any error in the transmission of any message relating to a Letter of Credit
not caused by the Issuing Lender, or any delay or interruption in any such message;

          (xi) any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of the Issuing Lender
in connection with a Letter of Credit;

          (xii) any consequence arising from acts of God, war, insurrection, civil
unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or other causes beyond
the control of the Issuing Lender;

          (xiii) so long as the Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the contract
or document appears substantially to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit,
the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred
to in any document submitted to the Issuing Lender in connection with a Letter of
Credit unless the Issuing Lender’s actions constituted gross negligence; and

          (xiv) where the Issuing Lender has acted in good faith and observed general
banking usage, any other circumstances whatsoever unless the Issuing Lender’s
actions constituted gross negligence.

 

 

          (i) The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to the protection accorded to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 10.6, with all necessary changes.

          (j) The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as published in its most current
version by the International Chamber of Commerce, shall be deemed a part of
this Section and shall apply to all Letters of Credit to the extent not inconsistent with
applicable Law.

     2.5 Voluntary Reduction of Commitment. Borrower shall have the right, at any time and
from time to time, without penalty or charge, upon at least five (5) Banking Days’ prior written
notice by a Responsible Official of Borrower to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily to reduce,
permanently and irrevocably, in aggregate principal amounts in an integral multiple of $1,000,000
but not less than $10,000,000, or to terminate, all or a portion of the then undisbursed portion of
the Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction or
termination of the Commitment under this Section.

     2.6 Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Funds Available for Advances. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Banking
Day of the proposed funding by the Administrative Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not
intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the total amount of
such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to
the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent
has made funds available to Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not
in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does
not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the
Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay such corresponding
amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover
from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such
corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the
daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation
to fulfill its share of the Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent
or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

     2.7 Collateral. To the extent required in the Security Agreement, the Obligations
shall be secured by a first priority (subject to Liens permitted by Section 6.9) perfected
Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement.

     2.8 Increase of Commitment.

          (a) If no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may at
any time prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date request (provided that such requests shall be
made no more than three (3) times on or after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date) increases of the
Commitment by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing of the

 

 

amount of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”); provided, however, that any such request pursuant to
a Commitment Increase Notice shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 and the aggregate amount
of the increase in the Commitment on and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date shall not exceed
$90,000,000. Any such Commitment Increase Notice delivered with respect to any proposed increase in
the Commitment may offer one or more Revolving Lenders an opportunity to subscribe for its Pro
Rata Share (with respect to the existing Commitment (prior to such increase)) of the increased
Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall, within five (5) Banking Days after receipt of a
Commitment Increase Notice, notify each Lender of such request. Each Lender desiring to increase
its Commitment shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing no later than five (5) Banking Days
after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not notify the
Administrative Agent within the time period specified above that it will increase its Commitment
will be deemed to have rejected such offer. Any agreement by a Lender to increase its Commitment
shall be irrevocable. The notices contemplated by the third and fourth sentences above shall not
be required with respect to any exercise by the Borrower of its option to increase the Commitment
under this Section 2.8 consummated on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date or within five (5)
Banking Days thereafter.

          (b) If any proposed increase in the Commitment is not fully subscribed by the existing Lenders
pursuant to the procedure outlined in Section 2.8(a) preceding, the Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or financial
institutions which is an Eligible Assignee (each, a “New Lender”) the opportunity to
participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the increased Commitment, by
notifying the Administrative Agent. Promptly and in any event within five (5) Banking Days after
receipt of notice from Borrower of its desire to offer such unsubscribed commitments to certain
existing Lenders or to any New Lender identified therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify
such proposed lenders of the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed
portion of the increased Commitment.

          (c) Any New Lender which accepts the Borrower’s offer to participate in the increased
Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a New Lender Addendum
in accordance with Section 11.8 hereof (subject to the limitations on the amounts thereof set forth
herein), and upon the effectiveness of such New Lender Addendum such New Lender shall become a
Revolving Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall
be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and the signature pages hereof shall be
deemed to be amended to add the name of such New Lender.

     On any date on which Commitments are increased, subject to the satisfaction of the
foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Lenders shall assign to each of the New
Lenders, and each of the New Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Lenders, at the
principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Loans outstanding
on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and
purchases, such Loans will be held by existing Lenders and New Lenders ratably in accordance with
their Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such new Commitments to the total
Commitments hereunder, (ii) each new Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a “Commitment” and
each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a “Loan”, (iii)

 

 

each New Lender shall become a “Lender” with respect to the new Commitment and all matters relating thereto and (iv) and
Borrower shall compensate each Lender who shall have assigned any portion of any Eurodollar Rate
Loans previously held by such Lender compensation in the amount that would have been payable to
such Lender under Section 3.6(e) hereof had Borrower made a prepayment of such Eurodollar Rate
Loans by an amount equal to such assigned portion thereof. Upon any increase in the Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.8, Schedule 1.1 shall be deemed amended to
reflect such new Commitment and Pro Rata Share of each Lender (including any New Lender), as
thereby increased or decreased, as appropriate.

     2.9 Swing Line Advances.

          (a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement
(including without limitation the provisions of this Section 2.9), Swing Line Lender agrees to make
one or more Advances (each such advance being a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Borrower from time to
time on any Banking Day during the period from the Closing Date until (but excluding) the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the Swing Line
Maximum Amount. Subject to the terms set forth herein, advances, repayments and readvances may be
made under the Swing Line. Swing Line Advances requested by Borrower not later than 10:00 a.m.
California time on a Banking Day shall be made by Swing Line Lender on such day. Swing Line
Advances requested by Borrower after 10:00 a.m. California time on a Banking Day shall be made by
Swing Line Lender as soon as possible, but no later than the following Banking Day.

          (b) Accrual of Interest and Maturity; Evidence of Indebtedness.

          (i) Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an
account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to Swing Line Lender
resulting from each Swing Line Advance from time to time, including the amount and
date of each Swing Line Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, and the amount and
date of any repayment made on any Swing Line Advance from time to time. The entries
made in such account or accounts of Swing Line Lender shall be prima facie evidence,
absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Swing Line Lender
to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any
manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Swing Line Advances (and
all other amounts owing with respect thereto) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

          (ii) The Borrower agrees that, upon the written request of Swing Line Lender,
the Borrower will execute and deliver to Swing Line Lender a Swing Line Note.

          (iii) Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Swing Line Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of such Swing Line Advance (plus all accrued and unpaid
interest) on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and on such other dates and in such
other amounts as may be required from time to time

 

 

pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Advance shall, from time
to time after the date of such Advance (until paid), bear interest at its Applicable
Interest Rate.

(c) Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line Advances.

          (i) The Administrative Agent, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion,
may, in each case on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the
Administrative Agent to act on their behalf) request each
of the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender) to
make an Advance of the Revolving Loan to Borrower, in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of the aggregate principal amount of the
Swing Line Advances outstanding on the date such notice is given (the “Refunded
Swing Line Advances”). The applicable Revolving Loan Advances used to refund any
Swing Line Advances shall be Alternate Base Rate Advances. In connection with the
making of any such Refunded Swing Line Advances or the purchase of a participation
interest in Swing Line Advances under Section 2.9(c)(ii) hereof, the Swing Line
Lender shall retain its claim against Borrower for any unpaid interest or fees in
respect thereof accrued to the date of such refunding. Unless any of the events
described in Section 9.1(j) hereof shall have occurred (in which event the
procedures of Section 2.9(c)(ii) shall apply) and regardless of whether the
conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving Loan
Advance are then satisfied (but subject to Section 2.9(c)(iii)), each Lender shall
make the proceeds of its Revolving Loan Advance available to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative
Agent specified in Section 2.1(c) hereof prior to 12:00 p.m. California time on the
Banking Day next succeeding the date such notice is given (which must be a Banking
Day), in immediately available funds. The proceeds of such Revolving Loan Advances
shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Advances.

          (ii) If, prior to the making of an Advance of the Revolving Loan pursuant to
Section 2.9(c)(i) hereof, one of the events described in Section 9.1(j) hereof shall
have occurred, each Lender will, on the date such Advance of the Revolving Loan was
to have been made, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participating
interest in each Swing Line Advance that was to have been refunded in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of such Swing Line Advance. Each
Lender within the time periods specified in Section 2.9(c)(i) hereof, as applicable,
shall immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing
Line Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
of the Commitment of the aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Advances
outstanding as of such date. Upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will
deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Participation Certificate evidencing such
participation.

 

 

          (iii) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loan Advances to refund Swing
Line Advances, and to purchase participation interests, in accordance with Section
2.9(c)(i) and (ii), respectively, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change
in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or any other Person; (D) any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by Borrower or any other Person;
(E) any inability of Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this
Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Loan Advance is to be made or such
participating interest is to be purchased; (F) the termination of the Commitment
hereunder; or (G) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Lender does not make available to the
Administrative Agent the amount required pursuant to Section 2.9(c)(i) or (ii)
hereof, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swing Line
Lender, shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender,
together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such
amount is paid in full (x) for the first two (2) Banking Days such amount remains
unpaid, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) thereafter, at the rate of
interest then applicable to such Swing Line Advances. The obligation of any Lender
to make available its pro rata portion of the amounts required pursuant to Section
2.9(c)(i) or (ii) hereof shall not be affected by the failure of any other Lender to
make such amounts available, and no Lender shall have any liability to any Credit
Party, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, or any other Lender or any
other party for another Lender’s failure to make available the amounts required
under Section 2.9(c)(i) or (ii) hereof.

          (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be required to make any
Revolving Loan Advance to refund a Swing Line Advance or to purchase a participation
in a Swing Line Advance if at least two (2) Banking Days prior to the making of such
Swing Line Advance by the Swing Line Lender, the officers of the Swing Line Lender
immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received
written notice from Administrative Agent or any Lender that Swing Line Advances
should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however
that the obligation of the Lenders to make such Revolving Loan Advances (or
purchase such participations) shall be reinstated upon the date on which such
Default or Event of Default has been waived by the requisite Lenders. In the event
that the Swing Line Lender receives any such notice, the Swing Line Lender shall
have no obligation to fund any Swing Line Advances until such notice is withdrawn by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender or until the requisite Lenders have waived
such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

          (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.9 or elsewhere
in this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender may terminate the Swing Line at any time in
its sole discretion.

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

          (a) if any Swingline Advances are outstanding or any Obligations are outstanding with respect
to any Letters of Credit at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
Borrower shall within one Banking Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (i) prepay
such Swingline Advances or, if agreed by the Swingline Lender, cash collateralize the amount of any
Swingline Advances of the Defaulting Lender on terms satisfactory to the Swingline Lender; and (ii)
cash collateralize the Aggregate Effective Amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding with respect
to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(a)(4) for so
long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding; and

          (b) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing
Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is
satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section
2.4(a)(4).

          (f) The principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes may, at any time and from time to time,
voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with
respect to any voluntary prepayment under this Subsection, (i) any partial prepayment of a Loan
shall be not less than $500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 unless the entire
outstanding amount of such Loan is being prepaid, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received
written notice of any prepayment by 9:00 a.m. California time on the date that is one (1) Banking
Day before the date of prepayment (which must be a Banking Day) in the case of an Alternate Base
Rate Loan, and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, three (3) Banking Days before the date of
prepayment, which notice shall identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being
prepaid, (iii) each prepayment of principal on any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by
payment of interest accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal paid, and (iv) any
payment or prepayment of all or any part of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last
day of the applicable Eurodollar Period shall be subject to Section 3.6(e).

     3.2 Closing Date Fees. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay each of the following
fees:

          (a) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a one-time upfront fee, based
upon each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment on the Closing Date, as set forth in a separate
agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;

          (b) to the Administrative Agent, for the sole account of Union Bank, such fees as are set
forth in a separate agreement between Borrower and Union Bank.

     3.3 Commitment Fee. From the Closing Date through the Revolving Loan Maturity Date,
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders pro

 

 

rata according to their Pro Rata Share of the Commitment, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable
Commitment Fee Rate per annum times the average daily amount by which the Commitment
exceeds an amount equal to the sum of (i) aggregate daily principal Indebtedness evidenced by the
Revolving Notes plus (ii) the Aggregate Effective Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding.
The commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears as of each Quarterly Payment Date within
ten (10) days after receipt by Borrower of an invoice therefor from the Administrative Agent.

     3.4 Letter of Credit Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay
the following fees:

          (a) with respect to the issuance of each Standby Letter of Credit, (x) to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, an issuance fee of 0.125% of the face amount of such
Standby Letter of Credit; and (y) for each day during each Pricing Period that a Letter of Credit
is outstanding, to the Administrative Agent, for the Lenders ratably, in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment, a standby letter of credit fee in an amount equal to
the Applicable Eurodollar Margin per annum times the face amount of such Standby Letter of Credit;

          (b) with respect to the issuance of each Commercial Letter of Credit, to the Administrative
Agent a commercial letter of credit issuance fee in the amount set forth from time to time as the
Issuing Lender’s published scheduled fee for the issuance of commercial letters of credit, which
fee the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Lenders ratably, in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment; and

          (c) concurrently with each negotiation, drawing or amendment of each Commercial Letter of

amendment fees in the amounts set forth from time to time as the Issuing Lender’s published
scheduled fees for such services.

          Each of the fees payable with respect to Letters of Credit under this Section is earned
when due and is nonrefundable and, with respect to Sections 3.4(a) and (b), shall be payable
quarterly in arrears.

     3.5 Increased Commitment Costs. If any Lender or Issuing Lender shall determine
in good faith that the introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable law, rule, regulation
or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Lender (or its
Eurodollar Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender, with any
request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law)
of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such Lender’s, such Issuing
Lender’s or such corporation’s failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s,
such Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such
Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s desired return on capital)

 

 

determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence
of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within five (5) Banking Days after demand of such
Lender or such Issuing Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, from time
to time as specified in good faith by such Lender or such Issuing Lender, additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender in light of such circumstances, to the
extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement, provided that
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount unless such Lender or such Issuing Lender is
charging similar amounts to similarly situated Borrowers and provided further that Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety (90)
days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is
ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand (except to the extent of any retroactive
application of the law, rule, regulation or guideline (or similar) giving rise to such demand). Borrower may replace such Lender or such
Issuing Lender by notifying such Lender or such Issuing Lender, within five (5) Banking Days after
demand of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, of Borrower’s intention to replace such Lender or
such Issuing Lender and Borrower shall then replace such Lender or such Issuing Lender by causing
such Lender or such Issuing Lender to assign its Commitments to one or more other then-existing
Lenders or to another Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
other then-existing Lenders within forty-five (45) days after demand of such Lender or such Issuing
Lender. Each Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s determination of such amounts shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

     3.6 Eurodollar Costs and Related Matters.

          (a) In the event that any Governmental Agency imposes on any Lender any reserve or comparable
requirement (including any emergency, supplemental or other reserve) with respect to the
Eurodollar Obligations of that Lender, Borrower shall pay that Lender within five (5) Banking Days
after demand all amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (determined as though such Lender’s
Eurodollar Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated
Eurodollar Market) in respect of the imposition of such reserve requirements (provided that
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount unless such Lender is charging similar
amounts to similarly situated Borrowers and provided further that Borrower shall not be
obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding
the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety (90) days
preceding the date of such demand (except to the extent of any retroactive application of the law,
rule, regulation or guideline (or similar) giving rise to such demand)). The Lender’s
determination of such amount shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar
Circumstance:

     (1) shall subject any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to any tax, duty
or other charge or cost with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its
Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to

 

 

any Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Advance or any
other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Rate Advance,
any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in
whole or in part by its overall net income by (a) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or
Eurodollar Lending Office or (b) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof)
in which it is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based
on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect
to which it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms
required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable
Laws;

     (2) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or
deemed applicable on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special deposit, capital or
similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office); or

     (3) shall impose on any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office or the
Designated Eurodollar Market any other condition affecting any Eurodollar Rate
Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans, its obligation to make
Eurodollar Rate Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the
same;

          and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by
such Lender, increases the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or in respect of any Eurodollar
Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its obligation to
make Eurodollar Rate Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office with respect to any
Eurodollar Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing Eurodollar Rate Loans or its
obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances (assuming such Lender’s Eurodollar
Lending Office had funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated
Eurodollar Market), then, within five (5) Banking Days after demand by such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost
or reduction (determined as though such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office had
funded 100% of its Eurodollar Rate Advance in the Designated Eurodollar Market);
provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount unless
such Lender is charging similar amounts to similarly situated Borrowers and
provided further that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount
which arose prior to the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such
demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is ninety (90) days
preceding the

 

 

date of such demand. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation
under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (c) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special Eurodollar
Circumstance shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for
such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or
to take deposits of, Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative
Agent, then such Lender’s obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended for the
duration of such illegality or impossibility and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give
notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding
principal amount of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Advances, together with accrued interest thereon,
automatically shall be converted to Alternate Base Rate Advances on either (1) the last day of the
Eurodollar Period(s) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Advances if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such day(s) or (2) immediately if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances to such
day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to payment of a
prepayment fee under Section 3.6(e). Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of
any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will cause that
Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to designate a different Eurodollar
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good
faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. In the
event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above, to make, maintain or fund its
portion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Lender shall fund such amount as an Alternate Base Rate
Advance for the same period of time, and such amount shall be treated in all respects as an
Alternate Base Rate Advance. Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender by causing such
Lender to assign its Commitments to one or more other then-existing Lenders or to another Eligible
Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the other then-existing Lenders.
Any Lender whose obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special
Eurodollar Circumstance which gave rise to such suspension.

          (d) If, with respect to any proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan:

     (1) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of
circumstances affecting the Designated Eurodollar Market generally that are beyond
the reasonable control of the Lenders, deposits in Dollars (in the applicable
amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the Designated Eurodollar Market for
the applicable Eurodollar Period; or

     (2) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar
Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective
pricing to such Lenders for deposits in Dollars in the Designated Eurodollar Market
in the relevant amount for the applicable Eurodollar Period, or

 

 

(ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Advances; then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give nonce
thereof to Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent
notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer
exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be suspended.

          (e) Upon payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advance (other than as the
result of a conversion required under Section 3.6(c)) on a day other than the last day in the
applicable Eurodollar Period (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration, or
otherwise), or upon the failure of Borrower (for a reason other than the breach by a Lender of its
obligation pursuant to Section 2.1(a) to make an Advance) to borrow on the date or in the amount
specified for a Eurodollar Rate Loan in any Request for Loan after such Request for Loan has become
irrevocable, Borrower shall pay to the appropriate Lender within five (5) Banking Days after demand
a prepayment fee or failure to borrow fee, as the case may be (determined as though 100% of the
Eurodollar Rate Advance had been funded in the Designated Eurodollar Market) equal to the sum of:

     (1) $250; plus

     (2) the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest would have accrued
on the amount prepaid or not borrowed at the Eurodollar Rate plus the
Applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin if that amount had remained or been
outstanding through the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Period exceeds
(ii) the interest that the Lender could recover by placing such amount on deposit in
the Designated Eurodollar Market for a period beginning on the date of the
prepayment or failure to borrow and ending on the last day of the applicable
Eurodollar Period (or, if no deposit rate quotation is available for such period,
for the most comparable period for which a deposit rate quotation may be obtained);
plus

     (3) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender reasonably attributable
to such payment, prepayment or failure to borrow.

          Each Lender’s determination of the amount of any prepayment fee payable under this
Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (f) Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it
has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section, and agrees to designate a
different Eurodollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the
amount of such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this
Section shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from
Borrower, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have
been incurred by the Lender. Borrower may replace such Lender by notifying such Lender, within
five (5) Banking Days after demand of such Lender, of Borrower’s

 

 

intention to replace such Lender and Borrower shall then replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitments to one
or more other then-existing Lenders or to another Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the other then-existing Lenders within forty-five (45) days after demand
of such Lender.

     3.7 Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or
other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid
when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without
limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each
calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     3.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest and fees under this
Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall
not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is
paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum
amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes,
and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of
such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.

     3.9 Non-Banking Days. If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under
any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be
considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest and fees.

     3.10 Manner and Treatment of Payments.

          (a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.5, 3.6, 11.3, 11.11 and
11.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of each of the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. California
time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after such time,
on any Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all
payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately
paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if
such payment was received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., California time, on a Banking
Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Banking Day, the Administrative
Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment
at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of
America.

          (b) Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit the general operating bank
account of Borrower to effect any payment due to the Lenders or the

 

 

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement. Any resulting overdraft in such account shall be payable by Borrower to the
Administrative Agent on the next following Banking Day.

          (c) Except to the extent provided in Sections 3.5 and 3.6(f), each payment or prepayment on
account of any Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each
Lender comprising such Loan.

          (d) Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record (in writing or by an electronic
data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its
Notes and, subject to Section 10.6(g). Such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive
evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender
to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

          (e) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any
taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable
authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall
net income by (a) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or
maintains its principal office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (b) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes
based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which
it has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form
or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable
Laws (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or
withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement,
Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental
Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that
Lender’s receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been
entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. Borrower may replace such
Lender by causing such Lender to assign its Commitments to one or more other then-existing Lenders
or to another Eligible Assignee reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the other
then-existing Lenders. If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit
to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrower.

     3.11 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance 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 or Advance in any particular place or manner.

     3.12 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising
under Section 3.7) fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any
amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a

 

 

waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any
interest (including interest arising under Section 3.7), fee, cost or other amount payable under
any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent
with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

     3.13 Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any payment to
be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so
due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such
assumed payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent,
each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed
payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from
and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to
the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate.

     3.14 Fee Determination Detail. The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall
provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined,
concurrently with demand for such payment.

     3.15 Survivability. All of Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.5 and 3.6 shall
survive for the ninety (90) day period following the date on which the Commitment is terminated and
all Loans hereunder are fully paid, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims
under such Sections made by any Lender to Borrower prior to the expiration of such period to the
extent provided in such Sections.

and each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its
Properties makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure so
to qualify or register and to be in good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

Properties and to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a Party and to perform its

qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency

obtain authorizations, etc., file, register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a
Material Adverse Effect.

Regulations. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors
of the Loan Documents to which it is a Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate

qualification with, any Governmental Agency is or will be required to authorize or permit under

business and has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits
from, and each such Subsidiary has accomplished all filings, registrations, and qualifications

necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure to be in such compliance,
obtain such authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits, accomplish such

copyrights, patents, patent rights, computer software, licenses and other Intangible Assets that

best knowledge of Borrower, conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent,

 

 

patent right or Intangible Asset of any other Person to the extent that such conflict constitutes a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, Borrower has

before any Governmental Agency which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

Subsidiary Guarantor is a Party will, when executed and delivered by such Party, constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance

assumptions set forth in the Projections are reasonable and consistent with each other and with all
facts known to Borrower, and the Projections are reasonably based on such assumptions. Nothing in
this Section 4.17 shall be construed as a representation or covenant that the Projections in fact

Obligations to which any one or more of them is a party, except for any such Contractual
Obligations (a) the performance of which would cause a Default or Event of Default or (b) then

by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite Lenders of such Default or, if such Default
is not reasonably susceptible of cure within such period, within such longer period as is
reasonably necessary to effect a cure so long as such Borrower or such Party continues to
diligently pursue cure of such Default but not in any event in excess of forty (40) Banking Days;
or

          (f) Any representation or warranty of Borrower or any other Party made in any Loan Document,
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by Borrower or such Party pursuant to any Loan

the date on which it otherwise would become due

 

 

or the right to require Borrower or any Subsidiary
to redeem or purchase, or offer to redeem or purchase, all or any portion of such Indebtedness; or

          (h) Any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason

the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders provided for elsewhere in this
Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

          (a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an
Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j):

     (1) the Commitments to make Advances and all other obligations of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower and any other Parties
under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without notice to or demand upon
Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the
Lenders or the Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with
Section 11.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon
terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the
case may be, to reinstate the Commitments and such other obligations and rights
and make further Advances, which waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and
shall be binding upon, all the Lenders;

     (2) the Issuing Lender may, with the approval of the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Requisite Lenders, demand immediate payment by Borrower of an amount
equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to be held by the
Issuing Lender in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral
hereunder; and

     (3) the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the
Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and/or declare all
or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid
thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due
and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable,
without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any
kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

          (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j):

     (1) the Commitments to make Advances and all other obligations of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower
and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or
demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the
Lenders may waive the Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms
and conditions satisfactory to all the Lenders, to reinstate the Commitments and
such other obligations and rights and make further Advances, which determination
shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders;

 

 

     (2) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit shall be immediately due and payable to the Issuing Lender without notice to
or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, to be held by the
Issuing Lender in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral
hereunder; and

     (3) the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon
and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and
payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice
of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

          (c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, or any of them, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan
Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to
notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce
their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and any other Party and
such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.

          (d) The order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall
be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first
to the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the
reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and thereafter
paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each
Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to
all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender
may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing Borrower’s
Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs
and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above,
second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and
including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued
and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third to the payment of all
other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents and/or on account of Bank Products or Interest Rate
Protection Agreements. No application of payments will cure any Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default caused by a failure to pay), or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration,
of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of
rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

 

 

Article 10

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

     10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section 10.8, each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably
incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, thereto. This
appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of
the Loans and the administration of the Collateral and does not constitute appointment of the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any
Lender for any other purpose and, except as specifically set forth in the Loan Documents to
the contrary, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall take such action and exercise
such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.

     10.2 The Agents and Their Affiliates. Union Bank (and each successor Administrative
Agent) and UNION BANK, N.A. (and each successor Collateral Agent) have the same rights and powers
under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
includes Union Bank and UNION BANK, N.A. in their individual capacities. Union Bank (and each
successor Administrative Agent) and UNION BANK, N.A.
(and each successor Collateral Agent) have and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with
Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, as if
they were not the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, and without any duty
to account therefor to the Lenders. Union Bank (and each successor Administrative Agent) and UNION
BANK, N.A. (and each successor Collateral Agent) need not account to any other Lender for any
monies received by them for reimbursement of their costs and expenses as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent hereunder, or (subject to Section 11.10) for any monies received by them in their
capacity as Lenders hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to hold a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise
exist against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

     10.3 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of all
the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of any collateral or
interests therein received or held by the Collateral Agent. Subject to the Collateral Agent’s, the
Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses
hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services
and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agent or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with
Section 9.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the Lenders’ interest in such collateral or
interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Lender under the
Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders,
without priority or preference among the Lenders.

 

 

     10.4 Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any other Lender or the
directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on
behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees
that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own
independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.

     10.5 Action by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

          (a) Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of the
existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may assume that no
Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or
the Lender that is then the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) has received notice from
Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature
of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

          (b) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent have only those obligations under the
Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

          (c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be required
to, exercise its reasonable discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent shall be required to act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite
Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 11.2) and those instructions
shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and all the Lenders,
provided that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to
act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would
result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in
substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

          (d) If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent has received a notice specified in
clause (a), the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall immediately give notice
thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or
of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 11.2), provided that the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so
would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable
judgment of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in substantial risk of liability to
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and except that if the Requisite Lenders
(or all the Lenders, if required under Section 11.2) fail, for five (5) Banking Days after the
receipt of

 

 

notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, then the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion,
may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

          (e) The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Lender
for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required
under Section 11.2), notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

     10.6 Liability of Agents. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, nor
any directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection
with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective
directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

          (a) May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as
the owner of that Lender’s interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof,
in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, signed by that Lender;

          (b) May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal counsel), accountants
(including in-house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with
legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for Borrower and/or their Subsidiaries
or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in
accordance with any reasonable advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or
experts selected by it with reasonable care;

          (c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made
in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement
(written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents except for those
expressly made by it;

          (d) Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, shall have no duty
to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or its Subsidiaries of any of the
terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any collateral or any
Property, books or records of Borrower or its Subsidiaries;

          (e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other
instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any Collateral;

 

 

          (f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document,
notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and

          (g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or
payable by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or paid or payable to or received or
receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation,
principal, interest, commitment fees, Advances and other amounts: provided that such error
was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct and provided further that,
promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates
shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to
the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred.

     10.7 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share of the Commitments (if the Commitments are then in effect) or in accordance with its
proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes (if the Commitments have then
been terminated), indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing
Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or the Issuing Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it
or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by
reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes)
or any action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Issuing
Lender thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Issuing Lender upon demand for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
any reasonable out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the Issuing Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery,
amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization),
enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower or any
other Party is required by Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand.
Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall entitle the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Lender or any indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to
the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries. To the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing
Lender or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such amount.

     10.8 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, and at
the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent upon
reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective upon acceptance of appointment by a
successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. If the Administrative Agent or

 

 

Collateral
Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent
for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be approved by
Borrower (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent
or Collateral Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent” shall mean such
successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s or
Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall
be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 10, and
Sections 11.3, 11.11 and 11.22, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has not been
paid its agency fees under Section 3.4 or has not been reimbursed for any expense reimbursable to
it under Section 11.3, in either case for a period of at least one (1) year and (b) no successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s
or Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all
of the duties of the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above.

     10.9 No Obligations of Borrower. Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed
to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision
of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where
any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders, Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders .in respect of such payments shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner
provided by this Agreement. In addition, Borrower may rely on a written statement by the
Administrative Agent to the effect that it has obtained the written consent of the Requisite
Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable under Section 11.2, in connection with a waiver,
amendment, consent, approval or other action by the Lenders hereunder, and shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the same.

 

 

Article 11

MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or
other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy
provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, Collateral
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to
be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or
remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in
part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the
Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or
in part in respect of any other Loan.

     11.2 Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or
consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Party therefrom, may
in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the written
approval of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of
or to any Loan Document to which Borrower is a Party, signed by Borrower, and, in the case of any
amendment, modification or supplement to Article 10, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; provided that no such
amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

          (a) to amend or modify the principal of, or the amount of principal, principal prepayments or
the rate of interest payable on, any Note (provided that no amendment resulting in the payment of a
higher rate of interest to any Lender or group of Lenders than the rate of interest payable to the
other Lenders hereunder shall be permitted without the written consent of all Lenders), or the
amount of the Commitments or (subject to the last 3 paragraphs of this Section 11.2) the Pro Rata
Share of any Lender or the amount of any commitment fee payable to any Lender, or any other fee or
amount payable to any Lender under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of Default consisting of
the failure of Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any fee, without the written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby;

          (b) to postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or
any installment of interest on, any Note or any installment of any fee, or to amend the definition
of “Revolving Loan Maturity Date,” or to extend the term of the Commitments, without the
written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

          (c) except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 11.2, to amend the definition of
“Requisite Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender;

          (d) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guaranty if the assets and net
income of such Subsidiary as of the most recently-ended Fiscal Year, together

 

 

with the assets and
net income of each other Subsidiary Guarantor released on or after the Fourth Amendment Effective
Date (in each case as of the Fiscal Year most-recently ended prior to such release), would exceed
40% of (i) the Borrower’s Net Income or (ii) the Borrower’s total net assets, in each case on a
consolidated basis as at the end of such Fiscal Year, without the written consent of each Lender;
or to release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Loan Documents
without the written consent of each Lender;

          (e) to amend or waive Section 8.1 or this Section 11.2 without the written consent of each
Lender; or

          (f) to amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval
of all or a specified portion of the Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders or such
specified portion of the Lenders, as applicable.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, in the event that the
Borrower awards any agent or other titles under this Agreement (other than changes in the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, which shall remain subject to Section 10.8) to
Lenders, whether existing Lenders or New Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may
enter into amendments to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect such title(s).

          Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this
Section 11.2 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, (i) Section 2.4 shall not be
amended without the consent of the Issuing Lender and (ii) Article 10 shall not be amended without
the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, this Agreement and any other
Loan Document may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified with the
written consent of the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders to increase the aggregate Commitments of
the consenting Lenders and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of
this Agreement and other Loan Documents with the other then outstanding Obligations and to share
ratably in the benefits of the Collateral and guarantees and in prepayments and to include
appropriately the lenders holding such additional credit facilities in any determination of the
Requisite Lenders.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, each of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent is authorized by the Lenders to enter into amendments or supplements
to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, with the Borrower or the
applicable Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of curing any typographical error, incorrect
cross-reference, defect in form, inconsistency, omission or ambiguity herein or therein (without
any consent or approval by the Lenders).

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.2, (i) the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent and the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor may enter into amendments,
supplements or modifications to the Loan Documents or additional Loan

 

 

Documents to reflect
additional Collateral provided under the Loan Documents or effect releases of Collateral or
guarantees permitted by the Loan Documents, or to take such further actions in respect of the
Security Documents as contemplated hereunder and thereunder and (ii) the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may make amendments and supplements to the Loan Documents to add the New Lenders to
the Credit Agreement, including the definitions of “Requisite Lenders” and “Pro Rata Share.”

     11.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay within five (5) Banking Days after
demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents and of the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance of Letters of
Credit. Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders in connection with each amendment of or waiver relating to the Loan Documents and in
connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy
reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter
related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title
insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses, and the reasonable
fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs
of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or
any Lender), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, whether or not such
costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Lender or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Borrower shall pay any and all
documentary and other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part
by a Lender’s overall net income imposed on it by (a) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision
thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal
office or Eurodollar Lending Office or (b) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof)
in which it is “doing business” or (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income
imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to which it has failed to
provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such
forms are then required by applicable Laws, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in
connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and
indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Issuing Lender and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other
expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost,
expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of Borrower
or any Subsidiary Guarantor to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender under this
Section 11.3 shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand for
payment at the Default Rate. This Section 11.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

 

     11.4 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are
several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Lenders or
any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with the Borrower or any
Affiliate of Borrower. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share of the
Commitments attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume
in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but
is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts
either to induce promptly the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to
obtain promptly another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, to replace such a Lender in
default.

     11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by
or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the
Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon
by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and each Lender, notwithstanding any
investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender or on their
behalf.

     11.6 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents,
all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under
any other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched
by commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the
signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan
Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other
parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other
communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective
on the earlier of receipt or the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with
first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the
telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by
commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when
delivered.

     11.7 Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies
with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed
in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of
which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed
to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by
a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party. The execution of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts
hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

 

 

     11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

          (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a Party will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each of
the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not
assign its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior
written consent of all the Lenders. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with
a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such
Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights
as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that
Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender
hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

          (b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments; provided
that (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender,
shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and (if no Event of Default
then exists) Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
(ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which
shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the
case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire
remaining Commitments of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share of
the Commitments that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000 and (iv) the effective date of any such
assignment shall be as specified in the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than
the date which is five (5) Banking Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the
Commitment Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the effective date of such Commitment Assignment and
Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this
Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments therein set forth and, to the extent of such
Pro Rata Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this
Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning
Lender to Borrower of its Notes) to such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, and to the assigning Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining
balance Pro Rata Share retained by the assigning Lender.

          (c) By executing and delivering a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is
the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments being assigned thereby free
and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or
in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
Borrower or the performance by Borrower of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this
Agreement, together with copies

 

 

of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by this
Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of
each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the
names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments held by each
Lender, giving effect to each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be
available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable
prior notice to the Administrative Agent. After receipt of a completed Commitment Assignment and
Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of an assignment fee of
$3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following
the effective date thereof, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule 1.1
giving effect thereto. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders
shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the
Pro Rata Share of the Commitments listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or
transfer of any such Pro Rata Share of the Commitments shall be effective, in each case unless and
until a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall
have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above.
Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Share of the
Commitments shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Share of the Commitments.

          (e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other
financial institutions in a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments; provided,
however, 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, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a
Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for
the purposes of Sections 3.6, 3.7, 11.11 and 11.22 but only to the extent that the cost of such
benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred in respect of such
Lender absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and
the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation

 

 

interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Commitments as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitments, or in the
granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, so long as the amount of the participation
interest is not affected thereby, (vi) the holder of the participation interest shall abide by the
confidentiality provisions set forth herein and (vii) the consent of the holder of such
participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan
Documents other than those which (a) extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or any other
date upon which any payment of money is due to the Lenders, (b) reduce the rate of interest on the
Notes, any fee or any other monetary amount payable to the Lenders, (c) reduce the amount of any
installment of principal due under the Notes, (d) release any Subsidiary Guaranty, or (E) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents, except if
such release of Collateral occurs in connection with a Disposition permitted under Section 6.2 or
grant of a purchase-money Lien of the type specified in clause (s) of the definition of “Permitted
Encumbrances” (unless the holder of such Lien does not prohibit a subordinate Lien on the acquired
property or assets, in which case the Collateral Agent shall subordinate its Lien on such acquired
property or assets in a manner acceptable to the holder of the purchase-money Lien without the need
for the consent of any Lender), in which case such release shall not require the consent of any of
the Lenders or of any holder of a participation interest in the Commitments.

     11.9 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of
the Requisite Lenders) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and
other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any
deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession
against the Obligations.

     11.10 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the
exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise,
receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through
any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable
Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise
receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from
each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall
pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by
each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of
payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff,
banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases
of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the
Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each
Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the
payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of
the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter
recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to
the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price
thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that
purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall from

 

 

and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and
other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased
to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations
purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender
holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section 11.10 may exercise
any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as
fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

     11.11 Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender and their
respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the
“Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of
action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the
definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.12(e)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action
arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, its
Affiliates or any of its officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitment, the use or
contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of Borrower and the Lenders under
this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency
arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause
(a) above; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, reasonable costs or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any
Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services) that any Indemnitee
suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of
action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss
caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (determined to be so by a final
determination of a court of competent jurisdiction) or for any loss asserted against it by another
Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee,
such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower
shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless such failure materially
prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of
action, as hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower in
writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of
action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest. Such Indemnitee shall act
reasonably and in good faith in dealing with such claim, demand, action or cause of action,
including in electing whether to offer or accept any settlement or compromise of such claim,
demand, action or cause of action. Borrower shall have the burden of establishing the lack of good
faith or reasonableness of such Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise
any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall
give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in
advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior
written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In connection with any
claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 11.11 against more than one
Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law
firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the
foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided,
that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or
could result in a conflict

 

 

of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a
defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such
Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to
permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be
entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably
acceptable to Borrower, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary
duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the
Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by
separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent
or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee
under this Section 11.11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the
repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the
Lenders.

     11.12 Nonliability of the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

          (a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower made by or through the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the
Loan only and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are
at the expense of Borrower);

          (b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given
to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders pursuant to
the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender nor
the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality,
effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such
acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with
respect thereto by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or the
Lenders;

          (c) The relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Lender and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and
lenders; neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender nor the Lenders
shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or its
Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender nor the
Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a
fiduciary relationship with Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or
its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender nor the
Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select,
review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or its Affiliates of any matter
in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower or its Affiliates; Borrower and its
Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any
review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or
assumed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Lenders in
connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is
entitled to rely thereon; and

 

 

          (d) The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall
not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind
relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or
negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders harmless on the
terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

     11.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining
and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative
Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns. Except as
provided in Sections 11.8 and 11.11, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder
or by reason hereof.

     11.14 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that
it may receive from Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure:
(a) to other Lenders or Affiliates of a Lender; (b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower
or any Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrower or any Lender, provided that the
recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially
similar to this Section 11.14; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender,
(e) as required by Law or legal process, provided that each Lender agrees to notify Borrower of any
such disclosures unless prohibited by applicable Laws, or in connection with any legal proceeding
to which that Lender and Borrower are adverse parties; (f) to another financial institution in
connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part
of that Lender’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes, or to a prospective
Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(c), provided that the recipient has accepted such information
subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 11.14 and (g) in
connection with the exercise of remedies under any of the Loan Documents. For purposes of the
foregoing, “confidential information” shall mean any information respecting Borrower or its
Subsidiaries reasonably considered by Borrower to be confidential, other than
(i) information previously filed with any Governmental Agency and available to the public,
(ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or
indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by Borrower to any Person not
associated with Borrower which does not owe a professional duty of confidentiality to Borrower or
which has not executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement with Borrower. Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders to Borrower.

     11.15 Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to the
Lenders, the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent, do, execute and deliver such further
acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders, the Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent from
time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, or the Collateral Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or
hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the
terms of any Loan Document

 

 

     11.16 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises
the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof, including the Existing Loan
Agreement and all Loan Documents referred to therein. In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement
shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in
favor of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document
shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor
of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

     11.17 GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF
REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. BORROWER
HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN BORROWER AND
BANK PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT BANK, AND
BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED
OUTSIDE OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING
IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE BANK FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER
LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR
ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF
AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITSELF AND LENDERS. BORROWER EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO
SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR
FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR
EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT
SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE

 

 

BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.6
AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF BORROWER’S ACTUAL RECEIPT
THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

     11.18 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to
be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or
in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be
severable.

     11.19 Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

     11.20 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

     11.21 Foreign Lenders and Participants. Each Lender that is incorporated or otherwise
organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State
thereof or the District of Columbia shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), on or before the Closing Date (or on or before accepting an assignment or receiving a
participation interest herein pursuant to Section 11.8, if applicable) two duly completed copies,
signed by a Responsible Official, of either Form 1001 (relating to such Lender and entitling it to
a complete exemption from withholding on all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement) or Form 4224 (relating to all payments to be made to such Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or such other
evidence (including, if reasonably necessary, Form W-9) satisfactory to Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that no withholding under the federal income tax laws is required with respect
to such Lender. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender shall (a) promptly submit to
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such additional duly completed and signed
copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the
relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United
States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of
all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (b) take such
steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Eurodollar Lending Office,
if any) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding
for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. In the event that Borrower or the Administrative
Agent become aware that a participation has been granted pursuant to Section 11.8(e) to a financial
institution that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, upon request
made by Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Lender which granted such participation, such
Lender shall cause such participant financial

 

 

institution to deliver the same documents and information to Borrower and the Administrative
Agent as would be required under this Section if such financial institution were a Lender.

     11.22 Hazardous Material Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and
orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the defense of any such action
has not been assumed by Borrower), arising directly or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in,
under or about any Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any
Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (ii) any activity carried on or
undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower or any of its predecessors in title, whether
prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower or any predecessor in title
or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower or any predecessor in title, or
any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Real Property, in connection with the
handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any
Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property. The
foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any
Real Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or
natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or
disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were
or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not
apply to Hazardous Materials on any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the
obligations of Borrower under this Section shall be unlimited corporate obligations of Borrower and
shall not be secured by any Lien on any Real Property. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to
any Indemnitee under this Section 11.22 shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations
owed to the Lenders.

     11.23 DISPUTES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM, CAUSE
OF ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER DISPUTE CONCERNING THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (EACH A “CLAIM”), THE PARTIES
TO THIS AGREEMENT EXPRESSLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND DELIBERATELY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EACH MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY. IN THE EVENT THAT THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SET FORTH IN THE PREVIOUS
SENTENCE IS NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAW APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY QUESTION OF LAW OR FACT RELATING THERETO, SHALL, AT
THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY, BE DETERMINED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE STATE LAW
APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES SHALL

 

 

SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE. IN THE EVENT
THAT THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE COURT SHALL APPOINT THE REFEREE. THE REFEREE
SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT
OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE SELF-HELP REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST COLLATERAL OR OBTAIN
PROVISIONAL REMEDIES. THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE EQUALLY, UNLESS
THE REFEREE ORDERS OTHERWISE. THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE
APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PARAGRAPH. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
IF A REFEREE IS SELECTED TO DETERMINE THE CLAIMS, THEN THE CLAIMS WILL NOT BE DECIDED BY A JURY.

     11.24 Purported Oral Amendments. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF
WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 11.2. BORROWER
AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN
STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH
SECTION 11.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

     11.25 Patriot Act. Bank is subject to the Patriot Act and hereby notifies Borrower
that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Bank is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of
Borrower and other information that will allow Bank to identify Borrower in accordance with the
Patriot Act.

     11.26 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this
Agreement is intended to and does completely amend and restate, without novation, the Existing Loan
Agreement. All security interests granted under the Collateral Documents executed in connection
with the Existing Loan Agreement are hereby confirmed and ratified and shall continue to secure all
Obligations under this Agreement.

     11.27 Replacement of Non-Consenting Lenders. If any Lender (such Lender, a
“Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver which
pursuant to the terms of Section 11.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the
affected Lenders and with respect to which the Requisite Lenders shall have granted their consent,
then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent),
upon ten (10) Banking Days’ prior notice to the Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent,
to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign, in
accordance with Section 11.8, all of its Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and Commitment
hereunder to one or more other then-existing Lenders or to another Eligible Assignee reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a)

 

 

the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced all Obligations owing to
it and any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.6(e), (b) the replacement Lender shall pay the
assignment fee referred to in Section 11.8(d), (c) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent
with respect to the applicable proposed amendment or waiver and (d) the Borrower may exercise its
right to replace Lender hereunder with respect to no more than three Lenders during the term of
this Agreement.
