pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness as if such incurrence or repayment
had occurred at the beginning of such period. For purposes of clause (b) of the foregoing (i) if
any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the
interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of
incurrence had been the applicable rate for the entire period, (ii) interest on any Indebtedness
under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the

          (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination
Date.

     2.5 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the
Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided
that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, substantially in the form
of Exhibit H (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, or (b) 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on or prior to the same day as the
requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (i) the amount and Type of
Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of
Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of
the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in
an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 over such
amount (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $500,000, such
lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof; provided, that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the
Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant
to Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its
pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date
requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such
borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the
account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent.

     2.6 Swingline Commitment.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion
of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time
during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to
the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding
that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other
outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the
Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after
giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving
Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use
the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

          (b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and the first date after such
Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least ten (10)
days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is
borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

     2.7 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

          (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give
the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which

-32-

 

telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the
requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period).
Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make
available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available
funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on
such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

          (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to
act on its behalf), by written notice given no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on any
Business Day request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to
make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the
aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the
date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of
such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately
available funds, upon receipt of notice as provided above. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans
shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for
application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower
irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the
Administrative Agent, if any (up to the amount available in each such account), in order to
immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the
Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans, on a weekly
basis or as otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent.

          (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section
2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its
sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving
Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred
to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding
Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation
Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum
of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid
with such Revolving Loans.

          (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender
such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account
of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline
Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in
the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such
payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline
Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by
the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline
Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

          (e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to
purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and

-33-

 

unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the
Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other
conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided
that a Revolving Lender shall not be required to make a Loan referred to in Section 2.7(b) or to
purchase a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.7(c) if (x) a Default shall have
occurred and was continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and (y) such Revolving Lender
shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing, not less than one Business Day before such
Swingline Loan was made, that such Default has occurred and that such Revolving Lender will not
refund or participate in any Swingline Loans made while such Default exists.

     2.8 Commitment Fees, Etc. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing
Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment
Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender;
provided, however, solely for purposes of this calculation, an amount equal to such
Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Swingline Loans then outstanding shall not be deemed to reduce
such Lender’s Available Revolving Commitment) during the period for which payment is made, payable
quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
date hereof.

     2.9 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

          (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the
Administrative Agent (which may be conditional), to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from
time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such
termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect
thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective
date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving
Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple
thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments.

          (b) [Reserved]

          (c) The Tranche B Term Commitments shall terminate upon funding thereof on the Closing Date.
Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving
Termination Date.

     2.10 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon notice (which may be conditional)
delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business
Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City
time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans (or on the same day in the case of
Swingline Loans), which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the
prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is
prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower
shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR

-34-

 

Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial
prepayments of Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount
of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

     2.11 Mandatory Prepayments.

          (a) If Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Loan Party (excluding any Indebtedness
incurred in accordance with Section 7.2) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof
shall be applied as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days after such
issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans as set forth in Section
2.11(d).

          (b) If on any date any Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Sale
Leaseback Transaction or Recovery Event, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in
respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied as soon as practicable but in any event
within ten days after the date of receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans
as set forth in Section 2.11(d); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each
Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to
the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Tranche B Term Loans
as set forth in Section 2.11(d).

          (c) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending September
30, 2011, there shall be Excess Cash Flow; provided that for the fiscal year of the
Borrower ending on September 30, 2011, Excess Cash Flow shall only be calculated from the period
beginning April 1, 2011 and ending September 30, 2011, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess
Cash Flow Application Date, apply an amount equal to (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash
Flow less (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all prepayments of Revolving Loans and Swingline
Loans made during such fiscal year to the extent accompanying permitted optional reductions of the
Revolving Commitments and the aggregate amount of cash used for all optional prepayments of Term
Loans made during such fiscal year, toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section
2.11(d). Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application
Date”) no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the
financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with
respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the
date such financial statements are actually delivered.

          (d) The application of any prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall
be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans; provided
that, if such application would be inconsistent with Section 2.17 (b), then Section 2.17(b) shall
apply. Each prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans under Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and by any amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.20.

     2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options.

          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided
that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period
with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar
Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date
(which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided
that no ABR Loan under a particular

-35-

 

Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan in excess of one month when any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit
such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof.

          (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”
set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans,
provided that no Eurodollar Loan in excess of one month under a particular Facility may be
continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or
their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further.
that (i) if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this
paragraph or (ii) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such
Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest
Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.

     2.13 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all
selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so
that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans
comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof and (b) no more than eight Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

     2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

          (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the
Applicable Margin.

          (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable
Margin.

          (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such
overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the
rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section plus 2%, (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of a Revolving L/C
Disbursement, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, or (z)
in the case of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of an Institutional L/C Disbursement, the rate
applicable to ABR Loans under the Tranche B Term Facility plus 2% and (ii) if all or a
portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any fee or other amount
payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then
applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such
other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans
under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii)
above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before
judgment).

          (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on
demand.

-36-

 

     2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees.

          (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on
which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the
basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of
each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from
a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and
the amount of each such change in interest rate.

          (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver
to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).

     2.16 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest
Period:

     (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period, or

     (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected
Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar
Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period
shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR
Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on
the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been
withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility
shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under
the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

     2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

          (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the
Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective
Tranche B Term Commitments or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.
Each payment by the Borrower on account of commitment fees hereunder shall be made pro rata
according to the respective Revolving Commitments of the relevant Lenders.

          (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Tranche B Term Loans shall be made (i) in

-37-

 

the case of principal, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of
the Tranche B Term Loans then held by the Tranche B Term Lenders, and (ii) in the case of interest,
pro rata according to the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on the Tranche B Term
Loans then due to the Tranche B Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the
Tranche B Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche B
Term Loans as directed by the Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent. Amounts prepaid on
account of the Tranche B Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

          (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made (i) in the
case of principal, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the
Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders, and (ii) in the case of interest, pro rata
according to the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans then due
to the Revolving Lenders.

          (d) [Reserved].

          (e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative
Agent at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders (or, in the case of amounts payable
to them, to the Swingline Lender or Issuing Lender, or, in the case of amounts payable to it,
retained by the Administrative Agent) promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If
any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the
maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such
extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment
shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any
payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at
the then applicable rate during such extension.

          (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing
Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to
ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. If the Borrower and such
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included

-38-

 

in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the
Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.

          (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Lenders their respective pro rata shares of
a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

     2.18 Requirements of Law.

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

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

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that
such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar
Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable by such
Lender hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly and in any
event within five Business Days pay such Lender, upon its written demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall
promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of
which it has become so entitled.

          (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect
of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by
such Lender to be material and to the extent reasonably determined such increase in capital to be
allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Commitments or participations in Letters of Credit
hereunder, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the

-39-

 

Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

          (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with appropriate detail
demonstrating how such amounts were derived shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (d) This Section shall not apply to taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.19.

     2.19 Taxes.

          (a) Unless required by a Requirement of Law, all payments made by any Loan Party under any
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions or withholdings (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable
thereto), now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes)
imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the United States of America, or by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal lending
office is located, or in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located
and (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America under Section 884 (a) of
the Code or any similar taxes, imposed by any jurisdiction described in (i). If any such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings
(“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required by law to be withheld by an applicable
withholding agent from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the
amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased by the applicable
Loan Party to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable under
the applicable Loan Document at the rates or in the amounts specified therein, provided,
however that a Loan Party shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
recipient with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such recipient’s
failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (g) of this Section, (ii) that are
United States federal withholding tax imposed on amounts payable to such recipient pursuant to any
Requirement of Law in effect at the time such recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (or
designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such recipient or its assignor (if any)
was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office or assignment, to receive
additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this
paragraph, or (iii) that are United States federal withholding taxes that would not have been
imposed but for a failure by such recipient (or any financial institution through which any payment
is made to such recipient) to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA. Nothing contained
in this Section 2.19(a) shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its
tax returns (or any information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower
or any other Person.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as
possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for
the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official
receipt received by the Loan Parties showing payment thereof. If any Loan Party fails to pay any
Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to
the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest,
additions to tax

-40-

 

and penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of
any such failure.

          (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased) two original copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8EXP, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from
U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Non-Bank Tax
Certificate”) and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto,
properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a
reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all applicable payments by the Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any Non-U.S. Lender that is a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes or otherwise not the beneficial owner (i.e., who has sold a participation)
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8IMY, together with the applicable Form W-8, Form W-9 and other required
attachments, and, in the case of any beneficial owner claiming the “portfolio interest” exemption,
a Non-Bank Tax Certificate” (provided that, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a
partnership, any Non-Bank Tax Certificate may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the
beneficial owner(s)). Any forms described above shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or
before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or
before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S.
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or
render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction and shall deliver such forms promptly upon the
obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.
Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it
determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to
the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such
purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be
required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally
able to deliver.

          (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding tax other
than U.S. federal withholding tax, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to
complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion,
execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in
good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section 2.19 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net
of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any
Taxes imposed on such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in

-41-

 

the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority but only if such repayment is required because the initial refund was
permitted in error. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which
it deems confidential) to the Loan Party or any other Person.

          (g) At the times specified in Section 2.19(d),, each Lender (or Transferee) that is a “U.S.
Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver two properly completed
and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-9 or any successor form that such Lender is entitled
to provide at such time, in order to qualify for an exemption from United States backup withholding
requirements. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may,
notwithstanding Section 2.19(a), deduct and withhold from any applicable payment to such Lender or
Transferee an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

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

          (i) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          (j) For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 2.19,
include any Swingline Lender, any Conduit Lender and any Issuing Lender.

     2.20 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each
Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
(a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from
Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last
day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest
Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would
have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)
over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued
to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with
leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant
to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender which is submitted within 180 days of the
incurrence of any loss or expense covered by this Section with appropriate detail demonstrating how
such amounts were derived shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

-42-

 

     2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will,
if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of
such Lender) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or designate
another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of eliminating or
reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a); provided that the making of
such filing or such designation is made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage
(except to a de minimis extent), and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect
or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.18 or 2.19(a).

     2.22 Replacement of Lenders.

          (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (A) requests reimbursement for
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) or (B) defaults in its obligation to make Loans
hereunder, or is otherwise a Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii)
prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 that has
or will eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or
2.19(a), (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other
amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement (whether or not then
due), (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any
Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the
Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a
Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6
(provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee
referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated (and
thereafter, to the extent related to such earlier time), the Borrower shall pay all additional
amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, (viii) any such
replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (ix) in connection with the
replacement of a Lender pursuant to clause (A) above, such replacement results in a reduction of
the amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a).

          (b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination
pursuant to Section 10.1 (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected
Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose
consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in
this clause (b) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s
request the Administrative Agent, or a Person or Persons reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, to the extent the Administrative Agent’s consent would otherwise be required
in connection with an assignment of such Loans, shall have the right (but shall have no obligation)
to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they
shall, upon the Borrower’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all
of the Loans and Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal
balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and fees with
respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated at par pursuant
to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Any such required sale and assignment shall be treated
as a prepayment for purposes of Section 2.20 and the Borrower shall be liable for any amounts
payable thereunder as a result of such sale and assignment.

     2.23 Limitation on Additional Amounts, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Sections 2.18 and 2.19 of this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent or a Lender
gives

-43-

 

notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 180
days after the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Non-Excluded
Taxes, Other Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or
reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence
of the respective increased costs, Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes, loss, expense or liability
reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender
shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Loan Parties pursuant to Sections
2.18 and 2.19, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes, loss,
expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital
are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving
notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to Sections 2.18
and 2.19, as the case may be. This Section 2.23 shall have no applicability to any Section of this
Agreement other than Sections 2.18 and 2.19.

     2.24 [Reserved].

     2.25 Incremental Credit Extensions. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time
after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent
shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (a) one or more additional tranches
of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”), (b) one or more increases in the amount of
the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” together
with any Incremental Term Loans, referred to herein as a “Credit Increase”);
provided that (i) both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any
Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and at the time
that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Event
of Default shall exist and (ii) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, determined on a pro forma basis as
of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available (but
based on Consolidated Total Debt at the time of and after giving effect to such Credit Increase)
shall not exceed 6.00 to 1.00 (or, if less, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio permitted as of
the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 7.1(a)). Each Credit
Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000
(provided that such amount may be less than $25,000,000 on no more than two occasions if
such amount is not less than $10,000,000 on each such occasion, and such amount may be a lesser
amount if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next
sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Credit
Increases shall not exceed $125,000,000. The Incremental Term Loans (A) shall rank pari
passu in right of payment and of security with the other Facilities, (B) shall not mature
earlier than the Tranche B Maturity Date and shall have a weighted average life to maturity
(pursuant to such amortization schedules as may be determined by the Borrower and the lenders
thereof) that is no shorter than the then-remaining weighted average life to maturity of the
Tranche B Term Loans (as the aggregate amount thereof may have been reduced and as the scheduled
amortization thereof may have been modified as of such date), (C) except as set forth above or in
the applicable Incremental Amendment, shall be treated substantially the same as the Tranche B Term
Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments), and (D) will
accrue interest at rates determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Incremental Term
Loans, which rates may be higher or lower than the rates applicable to the Tranche B Term Loans,
provided that if the initial yield on such Incremental Term Loans (as determined by the
Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (1) the initial margin above the Eurodollar Rate on
such Incremental Term Loans and (2) if such Incremental Term Loans are initially made at a discount
or all the Lenders making the same receive a fee (other than any customary arrangement,
underwriting, structuring, syndication or similar fee but not any upfront fee paid to Lenders in
their capacities as lenders) directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Incremental Term
Loans, being referred to herein as “Incremental OID”), the amount of such Incremental OID
divided by the average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans) exceeds by more than 50
basis

-44-

 

points (the amount of such
excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the
sum of (x) the Applicable Margin then in effect for Tranche B Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans
and (y) if all Tranche B Term Lenders received upfront or similar fees directly or indirectly from
Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for making the Tranche B Term Loans (the amount of such
fees, expressed as a percentage of the sum of the original aggregate amount of the Tranche B Term
Commitments, being referred to herein as “Initial OID”), the amount of such Initial OID
divided by the average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans as of the Closing Date, then
the Applicable Margin then in effect for Tranche B Term Loans shall automatically be increased by
the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Incremental Term Loans. Each notice from
the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of
the relevant Credit Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment
Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial
institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional
Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Revolving
Commitment Increase, each Issuing Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to
such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment
Increases, if such consent would be required under Section 10.6 for an assignment of Tranche B Term
Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender. Commitments in
respect of Credit Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment
Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable
Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by
Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional
Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. An Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of
any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be
subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing
Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in the Incremental Amendment. No Lender shall be
obligated to provide any Credit Increases, unless it so agrees. Upon each increase in the
Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section, the participations held by the Revolving Lenders in
the Revolving L/C Exposure and Swingline Loans immediately prior to such increase will be
reallocated so as to be held by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Revolving Percentages after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase. If, on the date
of a Revolving Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, the Borrower shall
prepay such Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement on the date of effectiveness of such
Revolving Commitment Increase (but the Borrower may finance such prepayment with a concurrent
borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Revolving
Percentages after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase). The Borrower may use the
proceeds of each Credit Increase for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement unless otherwise
agreed in connection with such Credit Increase.

     2.26 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) The commitment fee under Section 2.8(a) shall cease to accrue on the commitment of
such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to the
Issuing Lender pursuant to clause (c)(v) below);

     (b) If any Swingline Exposure or Revolving L/C Exposure exists at the time a Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

-45-

 

     (i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C Exposure shall
be re-allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Loans plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and
Revolving L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’
Revolving Commitments and (y) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving
Extensions of Credit of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the Revolving Commitment
of such non-Defaulting Lender;

     (ii) if the reallocation with respect to Revolving L/C Exposure described in
clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within
five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (or such longer
period as Administrative Agent may agree), cash collateralize such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Revolving L/C Exposure is
outstanding;

     (iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is cash
collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above or otherwise, at 105% of the face
amount thereof pursuant to terms reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender,
Borrower shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit participation fee with
respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure so long
as it is cash collateralized;

     (iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is
reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the
Letter of Credit participation fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated
among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages; or

     (v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is
neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.26(b), then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any Lender
hereunder, the LC Participation Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until such LC Exposure is cash
collateralized and/or reallocated;

     (c) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, 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 the related exposure
will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash
collateralized in accordance with Section 2.26, and participations in any such newly issued
or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (and
Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

     (d) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder may, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a
segregated non-interest-bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law,
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i)
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii)
third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any
participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of

-46-

 

which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined
by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future
funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro
rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower or any Lender against
such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x)
a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations which a
Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to
prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro
rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations
owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, Borrower, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender,
as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and Revolving L/C
Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment
and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the
Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
in accordance with its Revolving Percentage and the Administrative Agent shall release any cash
collateral previously required by Section 2.26. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting
Lender under this Section 2.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies that Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the non-Defaulting Lenders may
have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.26
shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata
sharing provisions or otherwise.

SECTION 3

LETTERS OF CREDIT

     3.1 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (a) each Issuing Lender agrees to issue
letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day
during the Revolving Commitment Period (in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit) or the
Institutional L/C Period (in the case of an Institutional Letter of Credit), in each case in such
form as may be reasonably approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that
such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect
to such issuance, (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure would exceed the Revolving L/C Commitment, (ii)
the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, (iii) the
amount of funds deposited in the Institutional L/C Collateral Account at such time would not be at
least 105% of the Institutional L/C Exposure or (iv) any Institutional Letter of Credit would be
issued by an Issuing Lender other than UBS AG, Stamford Branch or an affiliate thereof. Each
Letter of Credit shall (A) be denominated in Dollars and (B) expire no later than the earlier of
(x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior
to the Revolving Termination Date (in the case of a Revolving Letter of Credit) or the Tranche B
Maturity Date (in the case of an Institutional Letter of Credit), provided that any Letter
of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods
(which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

-47-

 

          (b) [Reserved].

          (c) For purposes hereof, (i) Letters of Credit shall at all times and from time to time be
deemed to be Institutional Letters of Credit in the amount specified in the definition of
Institutional Letters of Credit and be deemed to be Revolving Letters of Credit only to the extent,
and in an amount by which, the aggregate amount of outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds such
amount specified in clause (a) of the definition of Institutional Letters of Credit, (ii) drawings
under any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been made under the Revolving Letter of Credit
for so long as, and to the extent that, there are any undrawn Revolving Letters of Credit
outstanding (and thereafter shall be deemed to have been made under Institutional Letters of
Credit) and (iii) any Letter of Credit that expires or terminates will be deemed to be a Revolving
Letter of Credit, for so long as, and to the extent that, there are outstanding Revolving Letters
of Credit immediately prior to such expiration or termination; provided, that, at any time
during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (A) Letters of Credit shall
be deemed to be Revolving Letters of Credit and Institutional Letters of Credit, (B) drawings under
Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been made under Revolving Letters of Credit and
Institutional Letters of Credit and (C) any Letter of Credit that expires or terminates shall be
deemed to be a Revolving Letter of Credit and an Institutional Letter of Credit, in each case pro
rata based upon (1) the Revolving L/C Exposure at the time such Event of Default occurred and (2)
the Institutional L/C Exposure at the time such Event of Default occurred. To the extent necessary
to implement the foregoing, the identification of a Letter of Credit as a Revolving Letter of
Credit or an Institutional Letter of Credit may change from time to time and a portion of a Letter
of Credit may be deemed to be an Institutional Letter of Credit and the remainder be deemed to be a
Revolving Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire face amount of any Letter of
Credit with an expiration date after the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving
Termination Date or that is issued by an Issuing Lender other than UBS AG, Stamford Branch, or an
affiliate thereof, shall at all times be deemed to be an Institutional Letter of Credit.

          (d) An Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such
issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any Revolving Lender to exceed any
limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

     3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time
request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable
satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and
information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the
applicable Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other
papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary
procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall
the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after
its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers
and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the
beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The
applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent promptly following the issuance thereof. The applicable Issuing Lender shall
promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders,
notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

     3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

          (a) The Borrower will pay a participation fee on all outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit
at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans
under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in

-48-

 

arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the face amount of
each Revolving Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender payable quarterly in arrears on each
Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition the following fees will also be charged: an
issuance fee of $500.00 per Revolving Letter of Credit, drawing fees of $250.00 per draw, amendment
fees of $200.00 per amendment and $250.00 for renewals on each anniversary of a “evergreen”
Revolving Letter of Credit.

          (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower reimburse each Issuing Lender for its
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with, issuing, negotiating, effecting
payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender.

     3.4 L/C Participations. Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby
grants to each Revolving L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Revolving
Letters of Credit, each Revolving L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and
hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below,
for such Revolving L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such
Revolving L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights
under and in respect of each Revolving Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by such
Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Revolving L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if
a draft is paid under any Revolving Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which the
Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, such Revolving L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such
Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Revolving L/C
Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so
reimbursed. Each Revolving L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving L/C Participant may have
against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the
other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving L/C Participant or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If
any amount required to be paid by any Revolving L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to
this Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing
Lender under any Revolving Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business
Days after the date such payment is due, such Revolving L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing
Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (A) such amount, times (B) the daily average
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (C) a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the
denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Revolving L/C
Participant pursuant to this Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the applicable Issuing Lender
by such Revolving L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due,
such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving L/C Participant, on demand,
such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to
ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Lender submitted
to any Revolving L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has
made payment under any Revolving Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving L/C
Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4(a), such Issuing
Lender receives any payment related to such Revolving Letter of Credit (whether directly from the
Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or
any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such

-49-

 

Revolving L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in
the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by
such Issuing Lender, such Revolving L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion
thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

     3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter
of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender with respect to such draft
paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges
or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not
later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives
notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City
time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day
that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable Issuing
Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds.
If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse the
applicable Issuing Lender in full on the same day that such draft is paid, the unpaid amount
thereof shall bear interest for each day from and including the date on which such draft is paid to
but excluding the date that the Borrower makes reimbursement in full, at (a) in the case of a
Revolving L/C Disbursement, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving
Facility and (b) in the case of an Institutional L/C Disbursement, the rate per annum then
applicable to ABR Loans under the Tranche B Term Facility (determined without regard to whether the
Tranche B Term Facility is in effect); provided that, if the Borrower does not make
reimbursement in full on or prior to the second Business Day following the date of the applicable
drawing, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply; provided that, with respect to Institutional Letters of
Credit, the Borrower may authorize the Issuing Lender to draw such payment from the Institutional
L/C Collateral Account. If the Issuing Lender with respect to an Institutional Letter of Credit
shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by this Section 3.5 with
respect to any Institutional Letter of Credit within the time specified in this Section, such
Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the unreimbursed amount of an
Institutional L/C Disbursement. In each such event, the Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the
Issuing Lender with respect to an Institutional Letter of Credit to withdraw from the Institutional
L/C Collateral Account an amount equal to such unreimbursed amount. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly upon request advise the Issuing Lender with respect to an Institutional Letter of Credit
of the aggregate amount of any such permitted withdrawal, and such Issuing Lender shall promptly
advise the Administrative Agent of the amount of any such reimbursement it shall effect with the
proceeds of any such withdrawal. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter
pursuant to this Section 3.5 in respect of an unreimbursed amount of an Institutional L/C
Disbursement under an Institutional Letter of Credit will be promptly remitted by the
Administrative Agent to the Institutional Collateral Account (it being understood that, thereafter,
such amounts will be available to reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to an Institutional
Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.5).

     3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing
Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with
each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents
shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the
Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of
Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such
Letter of Credit or any such transferee. An Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,
omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice,
however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found
by a

-50-

 

final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any
action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or
the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing
Lender to the Borrower.

     3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to
the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Lender shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such
Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered
under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity
with such Letter of Credit.

     3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any
Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this
Section 3 shall apply.

     3.9 Obligations of Certain Issuing Lenders. Each Issuing Lender that is not the same
Person as the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of
(a) the amount and expiration date of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing lender prior to
the date of issuance thereof, (b) any amendment or modification of any such Letter of Credit prior
to the time of such amendment or modification and (c) any termination, surrender, cancellation or
expiry of any such Letter of Credit promptly upon the occurrence thereof.

SECTION 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, Holdings and the Borrower hereby
jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

     4.1 Financial Condition.

          (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2010, and unaudited pro forma statement of operations of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the twelve-month period then ended (including the
notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been
furnished to each Lender, have been prepared giving effect to the Transactions and all other
transactions that would be required to be given pro forma effect by Regulation S-X (and such other
adjustments as have been agreed to by the Joint Bookrunners), as if such transactions had occurred
on September 30, 2010 (in the case of such unaudited pro forma balance sheet) or at the beginning
of such twelve-month period (in the case of such unaudited statement of operations). The Pro Forma
Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower, and present fairly in all
material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position and results of operations
of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2010, and for such period
then ended, assuming that such transactions had actually occurred at such date or at the beginning
of such period, as the case may be.

          (b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at
September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and of
cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an
unqualified

-51-

 

report from Ernst & Young LLP or Deloitte & Touche, LLP, as the case may be, present fairly in
all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as
at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for
the respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related
schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently
throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and
disclosed therein). Except as set forth on the Pro Forma Financial Statements, during the period
from September 30, 2010, to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any
Group Member of any material part of its business or property.

     4.2 No Change. Since the Closing Date, there has been no development or event that
has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the
power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it
operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of
each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its
business requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith
would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in
compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith
would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party
has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the
extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No material consent or
authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Transactions, except (i) consents,
authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations,
filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the
filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on
behalf of each Loan Party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon
execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto,
enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings
in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

     4.5 No Legal Bar. The Transactions will not violate any Requirement of Law or any
material Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to
any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the
Security Documents).

     4.6 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, no litigation, or to the
knowledge of Holdings or Borrower, no investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority is pending or, to the best knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened
by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
(b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-52-

 

     4.7 No Default. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, no Group Member is in default
under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

     4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has marketable title to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all its material other property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien
except as permitted by Section 7.3. As of the date hereof, set forth on Schedule 4.8 is a complete
and correct list of all real property with a fair market value of more than $175,000 as reasonably
determined in good faith by the Borrower (including street address) (other than condominiums or
co-ops) located in the United States and owned by any Group Member and all leases (other than
apartment leases) of any Group Member. The real properties designated on Schedule 4.8 as “Initial
Mortgaged Properties” constitute all real properties (other than condominiums or co-ops) located in
the United States and owned in fee by any Loan Party (a) with a fair market value of more than
$175,000 as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower, (b) for which the Flood
Determination delivered pursuant to Section 6.10 indicates that such real property is not located
in a Special Flood Hazard Area, (c) which, as of the date hereof, is not being actively marketed
for sale by the Borrower or the applicable Group Member and (d) which is not a Mortgage Facility
Property.

     4.9 Licenses; Intellectual Property. Except as in the aggregate would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or as set forth in Schedule 4.9 (all of which items
set forth in Schedule 4.9 in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect), each Group Member has all necessary licenses, permits, franchises, rights to
participate in, or the benefit of valid agreements to participate in material Third Party Payor
Programs and other rights necessary for the conduct of its business and for the intended use of its
properties and assets to the extent necessary to ensure no material interruption in cash flow.
Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct
of its business as currently conducted except to the extent that a failure would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by
any Person against a Group Member challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property
that is material to the business of the Group Members or the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property, nor does Holdings or the Borrower have knowledge of any valid basis for any
such claim. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the
use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in
any material respect.

4.10 Taxes. Except for any failure, lien, filing or claim, as applicable, that would not be
reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect: (i)
each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns that are required to be filed and
has paid all taxes (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) due
and payable (whether or not shown on a tax return) and any assessments made against it or any of
its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any
Governmental Authority (other than any tax the amount or validity of which are currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity
with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); (ii) no tax Lien has been
filed (other than Permitted Liens); and (iii) no claim is being asserted with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge.

     4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other
extensions of credit hereunder, will be used (a) for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock”
within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time
to time hereafter in effect or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations
of the Board.

-53-

 

     4.12 Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group
Member pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by
and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor
Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all
payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been
paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

     4.13 ERISA. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (i) neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to satisfy the minimum funding standard
(within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the
five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect
to any Plan, and each Plan during such five-year period has complied in all material respects with
the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, (ii) no termination of a Single Employer Plan has
occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period and
(iii) the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those
assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the
date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such
Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. To the best of the Borrower’s
knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result
in a material liability under ERISA, and to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, neither the
Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under
ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all
Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or
Insolvent which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment
company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any
Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur
Indebtedness.

     4.15 Subsidiaries. Attached hereto as Schedule 4.15(a) is an organization chart of
each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. e, (a) Except as disclosed to the
Administrative Agent in writing from time to time after the Closing Date, Schedule 4.15(b) sets
forth the name and jurisdiction of formation of each Restricted Subsidiary Guarantor and, as to
each such Restricted Subsidiary Guarantor, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by
any Loan Party and (b) as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options,
warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to
employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital
Stock of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, except as created by the Loan Documents.

     4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Tranche B Initial Term Loans, together with
the proceeds of the Senior Notes, shall be used only for the Debt Discharge, to cash collateralize
certain Letters of Credit and the payment of Closing Costs. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans
and the Swingline Loans, and the Letters of Credit, shall be used for working capital and general
corporate purposes of any Group Member (including Permitted Acquisitions and other lawful
purposes).

     4.17 Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

-54-

 

     (a) the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (the
“Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of
Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or
constituted a violation of, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under,
any applicable Environmental Law;

     (b) no Group Member has received any notice of any violation, alleged violation,
non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or
compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business
operated by any Group Member (the “Business”), nor does Holdings or the Borrower
have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being
threatened;

     (c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from
the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that would reasonably be
expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of
Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of
the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give
rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

     (d) with respect to any liability arising under any Environmental Law, no judicial
proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the best knowledge of
Holdings and the Borrower, threatened, to which any Group Member is or will be named as a
party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or
other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders, or other administrative or judicial
requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the
Business;

     (e) there has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental
Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of any Group
Member in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in
violation of or in amounts or in a manner that would reasonably be expected to give rise to
liability under Environmental Laws;

     (f) the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and within
all applicable statute-of-limitations periods have been in compliance, with all applicable
Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or
violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; and

Mortgages are filed in the appropriate recording offices, each such Mortgage shall constitute a
fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan
Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as
defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person
(except that the security interest created in such real property and the Mortgaged Property may be

observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such

Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or beneficiary) to cause, with
the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated
maturity or (in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to
become payable and such default has not been waived; provided, that a default, event
or condition described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph (e) shall not at any
time constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or more defaults, events or
conditions of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph (e) shall
have occurred and be continuing with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal
amount of which exceeds in the aggregate $20,000,000; or

     (f) (i) any Group Member shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under
any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy,

be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due;

condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, would, in the
reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; or

     (h) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against any Group Member

any reason, to be validly subordinated to the Obligations or the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, as the case may be, as
provided in the applicable documentation in respect of such Indebtedness; or

     (m) any Governmental Authority shall commence a hearing on the renewal of any material

Material Adverse Effect; or

     (n) any Governmental Authority shall commence a formal proceeding seeking the
termination, suspension or revocation of any license, consent, authorization, permit,

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or
(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall
immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of Reimbursement
Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have
presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if
such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken:
(i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the
Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and
(ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans
(with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including all amounts of Reimbursement Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of
the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to
be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With
respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have
occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time
deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the
aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash
collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of Reimbursement
Obligations in respect of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof
after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be
applied to repay other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations
shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be
returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as
expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any
kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

SECTION 9

THE AGENTS

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

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

-85-

 

     9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, no Agent:

     (i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;

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

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

     No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at
the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Section 10.02) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to such Agent by Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

     No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely
as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

     Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may use an
outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be filed
pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent of, among other things,
the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be
acting at the request and on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

     9.4 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution)

-86-

 

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan,
or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may
be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be
entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.

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

     9.6 Resignation of Agent.

          (a) Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Is-suing
Lender and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, with the Borrower’s consent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an
office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent
meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Agent shall notify Borrower
and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation
shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided
to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing
Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for
above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and
such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

-87-

 

          (b) The Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender may at any time give notice of its resignation
to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right with the Borrower’s consent to appoint
a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Issuing
Lender and/or the Swingline Lender gives notice of its resignation, then the Borrower may, on
behalf of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, appoint a successor Issuing Lender and/or the
Swingline Lender meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Issuing
Lender and/or the Swingline Lender shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person
has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2)
all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Issuing
Lender and/or the Swingline Lender shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the
Administrative Agent directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Issuing
Lender and/or the Swingline Lender as provided for above in this paragraph (except as to already
outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, as to which the Issuing Lender and the Swingline
Lender shall continue in such capacities until the Revolving L/C Exposure relating thereto shall be
reduced to zero and such Swingline Loans shall have been repaid, as applicable, or until the
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the roles of Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender in
accordance with the next sentence and perform the actions required by the next sentence). Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Issuing Lender and/or Swingline Lender hereunder, unless
the Administrative Agent and/or such successor gives notice to Borrower otherwise, (i) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender and (ii) the successor Issuing Lender shall
issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time
of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Lender to
effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of
Credit. At the time any such resignation of the Issuing Lender shall become effective, Borrower
shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring Issuing Lender.

     9.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has
had the opportunity to review the Confidential Information Memorandum and each other document made
available to it in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and
conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

     9.8 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative
Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable
withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, each
Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable
in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all taxes, interest, additions to
tax and penalties and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental
Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from
amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason

-88-

 

(including, without limitation,
because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that
rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.08.
The agreements in this Section 9.08 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the
Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination
of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the
avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.8, include any
Swingline Lender, any Conduit Lender and any Issuing Lender.

     9.9 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of
the Joint Bookmanagers, Joint Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent listed on
the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a
Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

     9.10 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all
actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and
maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent, or as the Required Lenders may require or
otherwise direct, for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Lender; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising
on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Lender or the
Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with, and subject to,
the terms of this Agreement, or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing
pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under
any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

     9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (on behalf of itself, its
Affiliates and Related Parties (and in its capacity as a Lender under any Specified Swap Agreement)
and the Issuing Lender irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion,

     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent obligations), termination or expiration of the Commitments of the Lenders to make
any Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit and termination or cash collateralization, in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is
sold or transferred or to be sold or transferred as part of or in connection with any sale
permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to a Person that is not a Loan Party,
(iii) that constitutes “excluded collateral” (as described in Section 3 of the Guarantee and
Security Agreement), (iv) if the property subject to such a Lien is owned by a Guarantor
upon release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee Obligation, (v) upon the designation of a
Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (vi) if the property subject to such Lien is
located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development as a “Special Flood Hazard Area” or other area having special flood hazards
(whether as a result of a change in the mapping of Special Flood Hazard Areas or otherwise)
and

-89-

 

in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act
of 1968 or (vii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section
10.2;

     (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and other Loan
Documents if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including upon the
designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder; and

     (c) to (x) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that
is permitted hereunder or (y) to enter into intercreditor agreements.

     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement
and other Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section
9.11, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the
applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the
release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the
Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from
its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents and this Section 9.11.

     9.12 Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

          (a) Reserved.

          (b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.5 to be paid by it to the Administrative
Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be,
such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or
not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted
by any party hereto or any third party); provided that (i) the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swingline Lender or the
Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swingline Lender or Issuing Lender in
connection with such capacity and (ii) such indemnity for the Swingline Lender or the Issuing
Lender shall not include losses incurred by the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender due to one
or more Lenders defaulting in their obligations to purchase participations of Swingline Exposure
under Section 2.7 or Revolving L/C Exposure under Section 3.4 or to make Revolving Loans under
Section 3.4 (it being understood that this proviso shall not affect the Swingline Lender’s or the
Issuing Lender’s rights against any Defaulting Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this
paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.17. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the Total Revolving Extensions
of Credit, outstanding Tranche B Term Loans and unused Total Revolving Commitments and the
Institutional L/C Exposure at the time.

          (c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Requirements of Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages

-90-

 

(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

          (d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 3
Business Days after demand therefor.

          (e) Specified Swap Agreements. No Lender under any Specified Swap Agreement that
obtains the benefits of the Security Agreement or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof
or of the Security Agreement or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action
or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral)
other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in
the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9 to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory
arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Specified Swap Agreements
with Lenders unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations,
together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request from the
applicable Lender.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS

     10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10.1 or Sections 7.13 or 2.25. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party
party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to
time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan
Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or
(b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i)
forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the
scheduled date of any amortization payment (but not prepayment) in respect of any Tranche B Term
Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection
with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall
be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility)
and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this
Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this
clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend
the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent
of each Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent,
covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of any mandatory reductions of Commitments shall not
constitute an increase of Commitment of any Lender and that an increase in the available portion of
any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender)
directly affected thereby;

-91-

 

(ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this
Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in
the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or
substantially all of the Loan Parties (or Loan Parties owning all or substantially all of the
Collateral) from their obligations under the Guarantee and Security Agreement (except in accordance
with its terms), in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend, modify or
waive any provision of Section 2.17 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in
respect of each Facility directly and adversely affected thereby; (v) reduce the percentage
specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the
written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (vii) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; or (viii)
amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or the Institutional L/C Collateral Account
Agreement or the Institutional Letter of Credit Fee Letter without the written consent of each
Issuing Lender affected thereby (it being agreed that if the opportunity of consent is made
available to all Lenders on the same terms, only the consent of the Borrower and any of the parties
identified in clauses (i) through (viii) shall be required for an amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver referred to therein). Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or
modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties,
the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any
waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event
of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the then Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to
add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement 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 the other Loan Documents with the
extensions of credit under the Facilities and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and
(b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the
Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders.

     In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Tranche B Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or
modification of all outstanding Tranche B Term Loans (“Refinanced Tranche B Term Loans”)
with a replacement “B” term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Tranche B Term Loans”),
provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Tranche B Term Loans
(with appropriate adjustments to take into account any upfront fees or original issue discount)
shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Tranche B Term Loans, (b) the
Applicable Margin for such Replacement Tranche B Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable
Margin for such Refinanced Tranche B Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such
Replacement Tranche B Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of
such Refinanced Tranche B Term Loans at the time of such refinancing, and (d) the Lenders providing
the relevant Replacement Tranche B Term Loans shall have the same relative rights and priorities
under the Loan Documents as the Lenders of the Refinanced Tranche B Term Loans at the time of such
refinancing.

     If the Borrower wishes to replace the Commitments, Loans and other extensions of credit, as
applicable, under any Facility (the “Facility Interests”) with ones having different terms,
it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least
three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of reducing,
terminating and repaying such Facility

-92-

 

Interests to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under
such Facility to assign such Facility Interests to the Administrative Agent or its designees and
(ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with this Section 10.1 (with such replacement, if
applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to this Section
10.1). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Facility Interests to be replaced shall be
purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be
required if all Loans included therein were being optionally prepaid and all Commitments included
therein were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any
accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3, 2.20 or 10.6. By
receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to
have assigned the Facility Interests under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of
Assignment and Assumption attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such
Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended
to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the
Collateral during any such replacement.

     The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or
more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more classes
of Loans and/or Commitments (each class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an “Affected
Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments (as defined below) pursuant to procedures
reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such
notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii)
the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be
less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only
with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the
applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case
of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loan and Commitments of such Affected
Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.

     The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent
such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance
of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Permitted Amendment. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment, this
Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the
existence and terms of such Permitted Amendment and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments
of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted
Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent so reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and/or
an officer’s certificate consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Sections 5.1 and
5.2.

     “Permitted Amendments” shall be (i) an extension of the final maturity date of the
applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (provided that such extensions
may not result in having more than one additional final maturity date under this Agreement in any
year without the consent of the Administrative Agent), (ii) a reduction or elimination of the
scheduled amortization of the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) change in the
required percentage with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting
Lenders (including by implementation of a “LIBOR floor”) and the payment of additional fees to the
Accepting Lenders (any such increase and/or payments to be in the form of cash, Equity Interests or
other property to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement) and (iv) if the right to participate
in such amendment is provided to all Lenders on the same terms, a reduction of the principal amount
of the applicable Loans and/or Commitments or a conversion of the principal amount of the
applicable Loans to equity.

     10.5 Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each of the
Administrative Agent and the Joint Bookrunners for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements
of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and Joint Bookrunners (and one local counsel to the
Administrative Agent and Joint Bookrunners in any applicable jurisdiction as to which the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines local counsel is appropriate) and such other counsel to
the Administrative Agent and Joint Bookrunners as is retained with the Borrower’s consent, and
filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be
submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the
Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as
the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and Agent for
all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation
of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents,
including the fees and disbursements of one counsel to all Lenders and of counsel to the Agents,
(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent harmless from, any and all recording and
filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying,
stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in
connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the
transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or
consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and each Agent and their respective
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including
any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any
Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel for
all Lenders (and one local counsel to such Lenders in any applicable jurisdiction as to which the
Lenders reasonably determine is appropriate) in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by
any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause
(d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower
shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
of or material branch of any Loan Document by such Indemnitee (or any of such Indemnitee’s
affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents), to the extent such
Indemnitee has settled any claim without the consent of the Borrower (which is not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) or disputes between Lenders (other than with respect to a dispute
with a Lender in its capacity as Administration Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender).
Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of Holdings and
the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives
and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of
recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages,
costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of
them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the extent such claims,
demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, and expenses of whatever kind
or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, are found by a final and nonappealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction

-95-

 

to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct, of or material breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee (or any of such
Indemnitee’s affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents), to the
extent such Indemnitee has settled any claim without the consent of
the Borrower (which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or disputes between Lenders
(other than with respect to disputes not involving acts or omissions by the Borrower). In the case
of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in clause (d) of this
Section applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
other proceeding is brought by a third party or any Group Member or an Indemnified Party, and
whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. All amounts due under this
Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements
payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the address of the
Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter
designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this
Section 10.5 shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

     10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at
the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

     (A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of
Default under Section 8(a) or 8(f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person;

     (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an
assignment of a Tranche B Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund; and

     (C) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment or any participation in a
Revolving Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender.

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

     (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
interests under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Tranche B Term Loans, as
applicable, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, in the case of the Revolving
Facility, $5,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent, provided that no such

-96-

 

consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event
of Default under Section 8(a) or 8(f) has occurred and is continuing;

     (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided
that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part
of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of each Facility. Section
10.6(b)(ii)(B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of a single Facility;

     (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500;

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

     (E) No assignment shall be made to (a)(x) a competitor (or any affiliate thereof) of
the Borrower or (y) any other Person identified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
in writing as of the Closing Date and (b) any other Person designated from time to time by
the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent and approved (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) by the Administrative Agent (each, a “Disqualified
Lender”).

          For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a
natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and
similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or
managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity
that administers or manages a Lender.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments,
Revolving Extensions of Credit and Institutional L/C Exposure of, and principal amount of the Loans
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder

-97-

 

for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of
this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans and the Letter of
Credit are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of the Lenders in and to such
Loans and Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be transferable only in accordance with the
terms hereof. This Section 10.06(b)(v) shall be construed so that the Loans and the Letters of
Credit are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f),
871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities that are not a Disqualified Lender (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders 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. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan
Documents; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of
Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (including
Sections 2.19(d) and (e) and Sections 2.21 and 2.22 as if the Participant were a Lender) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintains a register of its Participants. The entries in a Participant register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and the parties shall treat each Person whose mane is recorded in the
Participant register as the Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding a
notice to the contrary.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or
2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment
results from a change in any Requirement of Law after the Participant became a Participant.

          (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender (and any initial or subsequent
pledgee or grantee, as the case may be, may in turn at any time and from time to time pledge or
grant a security interest in all or any portion of such rights as collateral security to secure
obligations of such Person),

-98-

 

including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

          (e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue
Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph
(d) above.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it
may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of
Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not
institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state
bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest
maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however,
that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless
each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to
institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

          (g) (A) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender
may assign all or a portion of its Tranche B Term Loans to any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or
Purchasing Borrower Party in accordance with Section 10.6(b); provided that:

     (i) if a Purchasing Borrower Party is an assignee, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;

     (ii) the assigning Lender and Non-Debt Fund Affiliate or Purchasing Borrower Party
purchasing such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G
(an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and
Assumption (which shall include a customary “big boy” disclaimer by all parties thereto);

     (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign Revolving
Commitments or Revolving Loans to any Purchasing Borrower Party or Non-Debt Fund Affiliate;

     (iv) any Tranche B Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be
automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment and will
thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;

     (v) no Purchasing Borrower Party may use the proceeds from Revolving Loans or Swing
Line Loans to purchase any Tranche B Term Loans; and

     (vi) no Tranche B Term Loan may be assigned to a Non-Debt Fund Affiliate pursuant to
this Section 10.6(g) if after giving effect to such assignment, Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in
the aggregate would own in excess of 20% of all Tranche B Term Loans then outstanding.

          (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Non-Debt Fund Affiliate
shall have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion
thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties
are

-99-

 

not invited, and (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders,
except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or
its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and
other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders), or (iii)
make or bring (or participate in,
other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in
its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender with respect to any
duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under
the Loan Documents (other than for payments due).

          (h) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the
contrary, for purposes of determining whether the “Required Lenders” have (i) consented (or not
consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of
the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted
on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under
any Loan Document:

     (i) all Tranche B Term Loans held by any Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to be
not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any
actions; and

     (ii) all Tranche B Term Loans, Revolving Commitments and Revolving L/C Exposure held by
Debt Fund Affiliates may not account for more than 50% of the Tranche B Term Loans,
Revolving Commitments and Revolving L/C Exposure of consenting Lenders included in
determining whether the “Required Lenders” have consented to any action pursuant to Section
10.1.

Additionally, the Loan Parties and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby agree that if a case under
Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall seek
(and each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Non-Debt Fund
Affiliate (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Loan
Party shall not be counted except that such Non-Debt Fund Affiliates’ vote (in its capacity as a
Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposed to treat the
Obligations held by such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate in a manner that is less favorable in any material
respect to such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by
Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower. Each Non-Debt Fund Affiliate hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such
Non-Debt Fund Affiliate’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Non-Debt Fund Affiliate and in the name of such Non-Debt Fund Affiliate, from time to time in the
Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the
Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this paragraph.

     10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

          (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated
to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a
“Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to
it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a
greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in
respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for
cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to
each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the

-100-

 

benefits of any such
collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such
Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without
prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and
the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by
Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final other than payroll or trust accounts), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or
any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, as
the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

     10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including Lender Addendums), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of
an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed
by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

     10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     10.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern
District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

-101-

 

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be at its address set
forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified pursuant thereto;

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;
and

     (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim
or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; provided that nothing contained in
this Section 10.12(e) shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations to
the extent set forth in Section 10.5.

     10.13 Acknowledgements. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

     (b) neither any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to
Holdings or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and the relationship between any Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and
Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely
that of debtor and creditor; and

     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among
Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders.

     10.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as
expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect
of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit
consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to
in accordance with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in Section 9.11.

     10.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by
any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding

-102-

 

relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the
extent such Information (i)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower; provided, however, that with respect to
disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section (other than disclosures pursuant to
routine regulatory examinations) and clause (e) of this Section (as such clause relates to suits,
actions or proceedings in which disclosure is being sought by a third party), unless prohibited by
applicable Requirements of Law or court order, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall (x) notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of confidential and non-public information
after receipt of such request and (y) if such disclosure of such confidential or non-public
information is legally required, furnish only such portion of such information as it is legally
compelled to disclose and exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an order or other
reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed information.

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

     EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 10.15 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT
TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS
RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING
FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

     10.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE
LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

     10.17 USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”)
hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act.

     10.18 Replacement of Holdings. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this
Agreement, Holdings may, in order to achieve the effect of substituting a corporation as the
immediate parent

-103-

 

company of the Borrower, form a corporation that is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Holdings (such corporation being referred to herein as “New Holdings”), and transfer
(subject to the Lien of the Guarantee and Security Agreement) all its assets (including all
outstanding Capital Stock of the Borrower) to New Holdings; provided that (a) the
arrangements for the formation of New Holdings and the transfer of assets from Holdings to New
Holdings are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (b) New Holdings
shall become a party to this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which Holdings is a
party and shall assume all obligations of Holdings thereunder pursuant to documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (c) the Administrative Agent shall receive such
documents, certificates and legal opinions as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may
reasonably request with respect to the foregoing, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent. If all of the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied,
then Holdings shall cease to be a party to the Loan Documents and shall be released from its
obligations thereunder and thereupon the term “Holdings” shall be deemed to refer to New Holdings.
The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any replacement of Holdings effected pursuant
to this Section.

     10.19 Mortgaged Property Acknowledgment. Each Lender by making or acquiring a Loan or
interest therein or issuing a Letter of Credit acknowledges that (x) any Mortgage encumbering any
Mortgaged Property hereunder was or will be entered into without consultation with local counsel in
the jurisdiction where such Mortgaged Property is located and (y) no title insurance policies were
or will be obtained with respect to any Mortgages encumbering any Mortgaged Property.
Consequently, there is a substantial risk that the Mortgages encumbering any such Mortgaged
Property may be invalid or ineffective under applicable law and, in such event, the Lenders would
not have any recovery as a secured creditor or under any title insurance policy with respect
thereto. Each Lender agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the
Joint Bookrunners, the Co-Documentations Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Borrower (and its
Subsidiaries) nor any of their officers, directors, agents, attorneys, affiliates or other
representatives shall have any liability to any Lender as a result of the foregoing.

     SECTION 2. GUARANTEE.

     2.1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally,
as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of
the Loan Document Obligations. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Loan Document
Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent
from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal
of any Loan Document Obligation. Each of the Guarantors

-6-

 

waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other
Loan Party of any of the Loan Document Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its
guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

     2.2. Guarantee of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee
of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had
by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the
Loan Document Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person.

     2.3. No Limitations.

     (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in
Section 9.16, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction,
limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release,
surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Loan Document Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan
Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release
from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with
respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Loan Document Obligations or any of them;
(iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Loan Document
Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary
the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law
or equity (other than the payment in full of all the Loan Document Obligations). Each Guarantor
expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance
of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale
thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or
obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder.

     (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of
the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full of all the Loan
Document Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their
election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or
adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other
Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any
other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any

-7-

 

Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Loan Document Obligations have been fully and
paid in full. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense
arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to
impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such
Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

     2.4. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
otherwise.

     2.5. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by
virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Loan Document
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after
notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or
cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in
cash the amount of such unpaid Loan Document Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums
to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or
any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 8.

     2.6. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the
Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Loan Document Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that
none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such
Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

     2.7. Savings. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited
liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any
Guarantor under Section 2.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or
unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of
its liability under Section 2.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the
amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any
other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to
the right of contribution established in Section 8.2) that is valid and enforceable and not
subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

     SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. Each Grantor hereby collaterally assigns, pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a

-8-

 

security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter
acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire
any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for
the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of such Grantor’s Obligations:

     (a) all Accounts;

     (b) Letter of Credit rights;

     (c) all Chattel Paper;

     (p) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of
the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to
any of the foregoing;

provided, that in no event will “Collateral” be deemed to include any Retained Rights.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, such grant of security interest
shall not extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall exclude (i) Contracts, lease, licenses,
Chattel Paper, Intellectual Property and other General Intangibles, or assets subject thereto, if
any, (but shall not include the Receivables, collections and Proceeds thereof) which are now or
hereafter held by Grantor as licensee, lessee or otherwise, to the extent that (and only for so
long as) (A) such Contracts, Chattel Paper and other General Intangibles, or assets subject
thereto, if any, are not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or under the
terms of the

-9-

 

license, lease or other agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent that any such
restriction shall be enforceable under applicable law, including Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or
9-409 of the New York UCC, in respect of the grant of a security interest hereunder), without the
consent of the licensor or lessor thereof, or other applicable party thereto and (B) such consent
has not been obtained, (ii) assets owned by any Grantor on the date hereof or hereafter acquired
and any proceeds thereof that are subject to a Lien securing a Capital Lease Obligation or a
purchase money obligation permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other
Lien permitted by Section 7.3(g) of the Credit Agreement to the extent and for so long as the
contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted (or the documentation providing for such
Capital Lease Obligation or purchase money obligation) validly prohibits the creation of any other
Lien on such assets and proceeds, (iii) any property and any person existing at the time such
property or person is acquired or merged with or into or consolidated with any Grantor that is
subject to a Lien permitted by Section 7.3(m) of the Credit Agreement to the extent and for so long
as the contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted validly prohibits the creation of
any other Lien on such property, (iv) any intent-to-use trademark application for which a statement
of use has not been filed and accepted with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any other
Intellectual Property to the extent and for so long as creation by a Grantor of a security interest
therein would result in the loss by such Grantor of any material rights therein, (v) the
Institutional L/C Collateral Account Agreement and the Institutional L/C Collateral Account and all
funds and proceeds therein, and any proceeds thereof prior to their receipt by any Grantor, (vi)
(A) any Capital Stock in any Liquidating Subsidiary (until such time, if at all, as such
Liquidating Subsidiary ceases to be a Liquidating Subsidiary in accordance with the Credit
Agreement) or any Capital Stock in any Unrestricted Subsidiary and proceeds of the Capital Stock of
any Unrestricted Subsidiary and (B) with respect to any Non-Profit Entity, Foreign Subsidiary,
Domestic Subsidiary substantially all of whose assets consist of the stock of Foreign Subsidiaries
or Insurance Subsidiary, such percentage of the Capital Stock of any such Subsidiary that is not
required to be pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.9(c) of the Credit
Agreement, (vii) any interest in a joint venture or a Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary to the extent the granting of a security interest therein is prohibited by the terms of
the organizational documents or any shareholder or similar agreement of such joint venture or
Subsidiary, (viii) any motor vehicle or other assets subject to certificates of title, the
perfection of a security interest in which cannot be perfected through the filing of UCC-1
financing statements under the UCC in the relevant jurisdiction, (ix) leasehold interests in real
property, (x) any assets if, as determined by the Borrower in writing and reasonably agreed to by
the Administrative Agent, granting a security interest therein to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties would result in adverse tax consequences to Holdings or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, and (xii) any asset if, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative
Agent evidenced in writing, the burden, cost or consequences to Holdings or its Restricted
Subsidiaries of creating or perfecting such security interests in favor of the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties is excessive in relation to the benefits to be obtained
therefrom by the Secured Parties.

     The Administrative Agent may grant extensions of time for the perfection of security interests
in particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security
interests in the assets of any Loan Party on such date) where it reasonably determines, in
consultation with the Borrower, that perfection cannot be accomplished without undue efforts or

-10-

 

expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to make their respective
extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, each Grantor hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

     4.1. Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, such Grantor owns or
has a license or the right to use each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens
of others. No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement, or as
to which a duly authorized termination statement relating to such UCC financing statement or other
instrument has been delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date, Permitted Liens or
as are otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

     4.2. Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the
filings and other actions specified on Schedule B (which, in the case of all filings and
other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in
completed and, if applicable, duly executed form) and payment of all filing fees will constitute
valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in which a security interest can be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement and/or the other filings and actions specified on
Schedule B in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as
collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable (subject to the effect of
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or
at law) in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons
purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the
Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Grantor to make any filings or take any
other actions to record or perfect the Administrative Agent’s Lien on and security interest in any
Intellectual Property outside the United States.

     4.3. Organizational Information. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s (i) chief executive office or sole place of business,
(ii) exact legal name, (iii) state of formation, organization or incorporation (as applicable) and
(iv) organizational identification number (if any) is as specified on Schedule C.

     4.4. Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, the Inventory and the material Equipment (other than mobile goods or
Equipment out for repair or refurbishment or on loan to employees) are kept at, or are in transit
to, the locations listed on Schedule D.

     4.5. Investment Property. The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and
outstanding shares of all classes of the Capital Stock of each Issuer owned by such Grantor (other
than Capital Stock in Insurance Subsidiaries, Non-Profit

-11-

 

Entities, Liquidating Subsidiaries, Foreign Subsidiaries, Domestic Subsidiaries substantially
all of whose assets consist of the stock of Foreign Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries not
required to be pledged pursuant to the Loan Documents). The Pledged LLC Interests pledged by the
Grantors constitute all the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of each Issuer that is a limited
liability company in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest (other than Capital Stock
in Insurance Subsidiaries, Non-Profit Entities, Liquidating Subsidiaries, Foreign Subsidiaries,
Domestic Subsidiaries substantially all of whose assets consist of the stock of Foreign
Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries not required to be pledged pursuant to the Loan
Documents). All the shares of the Pledged Stock and the Pledged LLC Interests have been duly and
validly issued and in the case of the Pledged Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Each of the
Pledged Notes constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect
thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good
and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens
of, any other Person, except the Lien created by this Agreement and Permitted Liens.

     4.6. Receivables. To each Grantor’s knowledge, no material amount payable to such Grantor under or in
connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been
delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     4.7. Intellectual Property. Schedule E lists all material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor in its
own name on the date hereof that is registered, patented or subject to a pending application for
registration or patent (other than Internet domain names). On the date hereof, all material
Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable and has
not been abandoned, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and, to such Grantor’s knowledge, does not infringe the intellectual property
rights of any other Person. Except as set forth in Schedule E, on the date hereof, none of
the material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is the subject of any licensing or
franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is the licensor or franchiser. No holding,
decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or
question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Intellectual Property owned by such
Grantor in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
action or proceeding is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened, on the date
hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any material Intellectual Property
owned by such Grantor or such Grantor’s ownership interest therein, or (ii) which, if adversely
determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of any Intellectual Property owned by
such Grantor.

     SECTION 5. COVENANTS. Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations (other than obligations under
or in respect of Swap Agreements) (excluding contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been paid
in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (or shall have been cash collateralized or
replaced in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and the Commitments shall
have terminated:

-12-

 

     5.1. Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper. If any material amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be
or become evidenced by any Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper, such Instrument,
Certificated Security or Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent,
duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be held as
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

     5.2. Maintenance of Insurance. Each Grantor or an Affiliate on behalf of such Grantor will at all times maintain
insurance, at such Grantor’s own expense to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit
Agreement.

     5.3. Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor will pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before
they become delinquent, as the case may be, all material taxes, assessments and governmental
charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well
as all material claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and
supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if the
amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings,
reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such
Grantor and such proceedings would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

     5.4. Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation.

     (a) Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a
perfected security interest having at least the priority described in Section 4.2, and subject to
the qualifications set forth in Section 4.2, and shall take all reasonable actions necessary to
defend such security interest against the claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming
the same or any interest therein (other than Permitted Liens or to the extent otherwise not
required herein) adverse to the Administrative Agent.

     (b) Such Grantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and
schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property which constitute Collateral
of such Grantor and such other reports in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail to the extent available.

     (c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent,
and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver,
and, if applicable, have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further
actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted,
including, without limitation, (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the
Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction in the United States
with respect to the security interests created hereby, (ii) in the case of Investment Property and
any other relevant Collateral (excluding in any case (x) security entitlements, securities
accounts, commodity contracts, commodity accounts and (y) Deposit Accounts), taking any actions
reasonably necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of
the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with respect thereto; and (iii) obtaining

-13-

 

an acknowledgement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of any
bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for the
Administrative Agent.

     5.5. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Such Grantor will not, except upon 10 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of all additional financing statements and other
documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and
priority of the security interests provided for herein:

     (i) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive
office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 4.3;

     (ii) change its name, identity or corporate structure to such an extent that any
financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement
would become misleading; or

     (iii) change its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational
identification number.

     5.6. Investment Property.

     (a) If such Grantor shall receive any stock certificate or a certificate evidencing
membership interests or partnership interests (including, without limitation, any certificate
representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase
or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option
or rights in respect of the Capital Stock of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution
of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged LLC
Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the Administrative Agent in
the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required,
together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such
Grantor to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional
collateral security for the obligations of such Grantor hereunder. Except as a result of a
transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, (i) any sums paid upon or in respect of such
Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the
Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the
obligations of such Grantor hereunder, and (ii) in case any distribution of capital shall be made
on or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with
respect to the Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the
capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed
shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative
Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional
collateral security for the obligations of such Grantor hereunder. If any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such
Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the
Administrative Agent, hold such

-14-

 

money or property in trust for the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as
additional collateral security for the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

     (b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will not (i)
sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to,
the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the
Credit Agreement) or (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any
claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any
interest therein, except for the Liens created by this Agreement or Permitted Liens.

     (c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be
bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property issued by it and will
comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it and (ii) the terms of Sections
6.3(c) and 6.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions
that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 with respect to the Investment
Property issued by it.

     5.7. Receivables.

     (a) Except as otherwise permitted in the Credit Agreement or other than in the ordinary course
of business consistent with its past practice or as such Grantor finds appropriate in accordance

each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current
catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to, to the extent required by applicable law, maintain
such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use for so long as such
Trademark is material to the business of such Grantor, (ii) maintain as in the past, substantially
the same or higher, quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) use such
Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by
applicable Legal Requirement, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which is confusingly similar or a
colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest (subject to the qualifications set
forth in Section 4.2) in such mark pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) not knowingly do any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or materially impaired.

     (b) Such Grantor will not knowingly do any act, or knowingly omit to do any act, whereby any
material Patent owned by such Grantor may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public
for so long as such Patent is material to the business of such Grantor.

-15-

 

     (c) Such Grantor (i) will employ each material Copyright owned by such Grantor and (ii) will
not knowingly do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material Copyright owned by
Grantor may become invalidated or otherwise impaired for so long as such Copyright is material to
the business of the Grantor. Such Grantor will not knowingly do any act whereby any material
Copyright owned by such Grantor may fall into the public domain for so long as such Copyright is

     (d) Such Grantor will not knowingly do any act that knowingly uses any material Intellectual
Property owned by such Grantor to infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

     (e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties promptly,
but in any event within thirty (30) days of such Grantor having knowledge thereof, if it knows that
any application or registration for any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor may
become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public (other than the expiration of patents at the
end of their statutory term), or of any adverse determination or development regarding such
Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property owned by such
Grantor or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same (other than
office actions issued in the ordinary course of prosecution of any pending applications for patents
or applications for registration of other Intellectual Property).

     (f) Whenever such Grantor, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual
Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or
any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such
Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within thirty Business Days after the
last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the Administrative
Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements,
instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence
the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark
and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

     (g) Such Grantor will take reasonable steps to maintain each registration of the material
Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor for so long as such Intellectual Property is material
to the business of such Grantor, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of
use and affidavits of incontestability.

     (h) In the event that, to the knowledge of the Grantor, any material Intellectual Property
owned by such Grantor is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall

value to such Grantor, promptly notify the Administrative Agent after it learns thereof and, if
appropriate, sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, seek injunctive relief where
appropriate and seek to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or
dilution.

-16-

 

     5.9. Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors or any of them shall at any time acquire a Commercial Tort Claim such
Grantor(s) shall, within a reasonable period of time, notify the Administrative Agent in writing
signed of the brief details thereof and shall grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all on the terms of
this Agreement, and in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent. This Section 5.09 shall apply only to Commercial Tort Claims (i) that are not claims
against the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in their capacities as such or
as Administrative Agent or Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, and (ii) as to which the
Grantor(s) holding any such claim has been advised by counsel engaged for the purpose of
prosecuting such claim that such claim is reasonably likely to result in a judgment or negotiated
settlement in excess of $300,000. The Grantor(s) shall have sole control of all aspects of
commercial tort claims that are subject to this Section 5.09 unless and until an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Document Obligations have been accelerated and the
Administrative Agent has begun exercising rights with respect to other Collateral under this
Agreement.

     5.10. Post Default Actions. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, no Grantor shall take any action
which would have a Material Adverse Effect or take any action prohibited or fail to perform any
action required of the Grantor hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan
Document to which such Grantor is a party.

     SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS.

     6.1. Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

     (a) Subject to applicable law and contractual rights, if any, in each case relating to
confidentiality, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default after giving prior notice to the Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to
make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably
considers advisable, and each Grantor in the name of such Grantor shall furnish all such
assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test
verifications.

     (b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s
Receivables (except in respect of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights to the extent not
permitted by applicable law), and the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority
at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections
8(a) or (f) of the Credit Agreement. Except as set forth in subsection 6.1(c), if required by the
Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default under Sections 8(a) or (f) of the Credit Agreement, any payments of Receivables, when
collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days)
deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and
control of the Administrative Agent as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, subject
to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties in payment of
such Grantor’s Obligations only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall
be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and

-17-

 

the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent shall not assign or otherwise dispose of any
Trademark owned by any Grantor without assigning the assets and goodwill of the business
associated therewith and any such assignment shall be null and void. Each such deposit of
Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the
nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

     (c) If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8(a) or (f) of the Credit Agreement, (1) any
payments of Receivables (other than Receivables subject to Retained Rights) shall be directed by
the applicable Grantor or the Administrative Agent to be sent directly to a lockbox address
designated by the Administrative Agent and daily deposited into a lockbox account at the
Administrative Agent under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, and (2) the
applicable Grantor shall cause any payments of Government Receivables subject to Retained Rights,
when collected by any Grantor, to be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days)
deposited by such Grantor into a separate deposit account (the “Government Receivables
Account”) under the dominion and control of the Grantor, for which such Grantor shall have
delivered a standing direction to the depository holding such applicable Government Receivables
Account, directing it to sweep cash proceeds of such Receivables daily and to wire and deposit the
same into the Collateral Account specified in Section 6.1(b) above, all to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law. It shall be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if any
Grantor changes such standing direction. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables subject to
Retained Rights deposited in the Government Receivables Account shall be accompanied by a report
delivered to the Administrative Agent within two Business Days after the deposit thereof into the
Government Receivables Account, identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the
payments included in such deposit.

     (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions
which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices
and shipping receipts.

     6.2. Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

     (a) Subject to applicable law and contractual rights, if any, in each case relating to
confidentiality, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent in its own name may at any time communicate with obligors under
the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s
satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.

     (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) of the Credit Agreement, each
Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables (except where such Receivables are subject to
Retained Rights) and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been
assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that
payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.

-18-

 

     (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to
be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement
giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or
liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or
arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any
payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be obligated in any
manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any
agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the
nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance
by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any
performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which
it may be entitled at any time or times.

     6.3. Pledged Stock.

     (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative
Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Administrative Agent’s intent to
exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to
receive all cash dividends and other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Stock, all
payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes and all distributions made in respect of the Pledged
LLC Interests, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and
corporate rights with respect to the Investment Property.

     (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall
give three days prior written notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor
or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash
dividends, payments, or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property, to hold the same
as additional collateral security for and make application thereof to such Grantor’s Obligations in
accordance with Section 6.5, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to register any
or all of the Investment Property in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the
Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other
rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer
or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any
other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the
absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any
and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization
or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any
Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment
Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the
Investment Property with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without
liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent
shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Upon the cure or waiver of any Event of
Default in accordance with the Credit Agreement, (a)(i) each Grantor shall have the right to
receive the payments, proceeds, dividends, distributions, monies, compensation, property, assets,

-19-

 

instruments or rights that it would be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this
Agreement absent an Event of Default (ii) the Administrative shall deliver to the respective
Grantor all cash and monies that such Grantor is entitled to retain pursuant to this Agreement
which have not been applied to the repayment of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement and (b) each Grantor shall have the right to exercise the voting, managerial and
other consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to pursuant to this
Agreement absent an Event of Default and the Administrative Agent shall (at the expense of the
Borrower) cause any Investment Property registered pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 6.3(b)
to be registered in the name of the original Grantor in which such Investment Property was
registered prior to the Event of Default which has been cured or waived.

     (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property
pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the
Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other
or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully
protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends
or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

     6.4. Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties specified in
Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash
items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form (except as any Receivable subject to
Retained Rights not in exact form to the extent prohibited by applicable law, but only Proceeds in
form to the extent not so prohibited) received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to
the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its
sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral
Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties) shall
continue to be held as collateral security for all of such Grantor’s Obligations and shall not
constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.

     6.5. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection
from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the
Administrative Agent of its remedies shall be applied, in full or in part, together with any other
sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, promptly by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to all fees and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to the Credit Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or the Collateral; second, to all fees due and owing to Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan Document Obligations;
fourth, to the principal amounts of the Loan Document Obligations outstanding; and fifth, to any
other Loan Document Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. Any
balance of such Proceeds remaining after such

-20-

 

Grantor’s Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no pending
claim is outstanding) shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or
shall have been cash collateralized or replaced in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be turned over to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

     6.6. Code and Other Remedies.

     (a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted
to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating
to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other
applicable law (except in respect of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights to the extent not
permitted by applicable law). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent, without further demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement
or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below), to or upon any Grantor
or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived to the extent permitted by law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or
any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any
other Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at
such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the right upon any
such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or
sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor
further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such
order as set forth in Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the
Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-615 of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the
surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be
deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition.

-21-

 

     (b) If at any time when the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell
all or any part of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section, and if such Pledged Stock or the
part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the
Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, the Administrative Agent is hereby expressly
authorized to sell such Pledged Stock or such part thereof by private sale in such manner and under
such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable in order that such
sale may legally be effected without such registration. The Administrative Agent shall sell all or
any part of the Pledged Stock at a price which the Administrative Agent deems commercially
reasonable under the circumstances.

     6.7. Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay such Grantor’s Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
collect such deficiency.

     SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

     7.1. Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

     (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to
take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may
be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and
right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of
the following:

     (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and
endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the
payment of moneys due under any Receivable (except where such Receivables are subject to
Retained Rights) or Contract or with respect to, any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such
moneys due under any Receivable (except where such Receivables are subject to Retained
Rights) or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

     (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to the Grantor,
execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and
papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative
Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the
goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

-22-

 

     (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement
and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

     (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Sections 6.6 or 6.7, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and

     (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral (except in
respect of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights) to make payment of any and all moneys
due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the
Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of
and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any
time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral (except in respect of any Receivable
subject to Retained Rights); (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills,
bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against Grantors, assignments,
verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral (except
in respect of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights); (4) commence and prosecute any
suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral (except in respect of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights) or
any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral (except in
respect of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights); (5) defend any suit, action or
proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle,
compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give
such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any
Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such
Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in
such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its reasonable discretion determine; and
(8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise
deal with any of the Collateral (except in respect of any Receivable subject to Retained
Rights) as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s
expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative
Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral (except in respect
of any Receivable subject to Retained Rights) and the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured
Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully
and effectively as such Grantor might do.

     Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent
agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this
Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Administrative Agent, at its option during the existence of an Event of Default, but without any
obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such
agreement.

-23-

 

     (c) The reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection
with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1 shall be payable by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement.

     (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.

     7.2. Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party nor any
of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any
other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder
are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party
to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     7.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents
or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form
and in such offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security
interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; provided, that Administrative Agent
shall provide the applicable Grantor (or the Borrower) with a photocopy of any such filings. Each
Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “all assets of the
Debtor” (as the term Debtor is defined in such financing statement or words of similar effect). A
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement
or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

     7.4. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise
or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other
right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by
such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as
between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as

-24-

 

agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting,
and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

     SECTION 8. INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION.

     8.1. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have
under applicable law (but subject to Section 8.3), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a
payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall
indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment
and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an obligation owed to any Secured Party, the
Borrower shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the
fair market value of the assets so sold.

     8.2. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor and Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 8.3)
that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any
Obligation or assets of any other Grantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to
satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming
Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 8.1, the
Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such
payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may
be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the
Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all
the Guarantors and Grantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor
becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 9.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and
delivered by such Guarantor or Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming
Party pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under
Section 8.1 to the extent of such payment.

     8.3. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the
Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution
or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible
payment in full of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or
Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 8.1 and 8.2 (or any other payments required under
applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Guarantor or Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor
shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder.

     Each Guarantor and Grantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations
owed by it to any other Guarantor, Grantor or any other Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to
the payment in full of the Obligations.

     SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

-25-

 

     9.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

     9.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement and
shall be addressed to such Grantor, c/o the Borrower’s address set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     9.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to
have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such
Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights
or remedies provided by law.

     9.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

     (a) Each Guarantor and Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for all its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such
Guarantor and Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or
preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor and
Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one
counsel to all Lenders and of one counsel to the Agents and of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

     (b) Each Guarantor and Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in
paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be
payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

     (c) Each Guarantor and Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the
Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to such Guarantor’s and Grantor’s
Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor or Grantor is
a party to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so under Section 10.5 of the Credit
Agreement.

-26-

 

     (d) The agreements in this Section 9.4 shall survive repayment of each of the Borrower’s and
the Guarantor’s Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

     9.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each Grantor
and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their permitted
successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

     9.6. Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender at any
time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without prior notice to such Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by such Grantor to the
extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by such Grantor
hereunder (whether at the stated maturity of the Loan Document Obligations, by acceleration thereof
or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final other than payroll or trust accounts), in
any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, and whether or not fully secured,
at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or
the account of such Grantor, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
applicable Grantor and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such
Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section
9.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.

     9.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

     9.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

     9.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are
not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

     9.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Parties relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

-27-

 

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

     9.12. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of New York, the court of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 9.2 or at such
other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;
and

     (e) waives, to the maximum extent, not prohibited by law, any right it may have to
claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

     9.13. Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

     (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in
connection herewith or therewith is solely that of guarantor and lender;

     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among
the Grantors and the Secured Parties; and

-28-

 

     (d) as between any Grantor on the one hand and the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party on the other band, (x) the maturity of the Loan Document Obligations may be
accelerated as provided in the Credit Agreement for the purposes of this Agreement and the
other Security Documents to which Grantor is a party, notwithstanding any stay, injunction
or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed
hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Loan Document
Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, such Grantor’s Obligations (whether or not
due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Grantor for the purpose of
this Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party.

     9.14. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement
pursuant to Section 6.9(c) of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor and Grantor for all
purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption
Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

     9.15. Authorization to Release Guarantees and Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized (without requirement of notice to or consent of any other Secured
Party except as expressly required by Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement) to take any action
requested by the Grantors having the effect of releasing any Guarantor, Collateral or Obligations
to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan
Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

     9.16. Termination or Release.

     (a) This Agreement, the Guarantees made herein, the security interest granted hereby shall
terminate when all the Loan Document Obligations (other than Loan Document Obligations in respect
of Specified Swap Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and contingent indemnity obligations for
which no claim is pending) have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to
lend under the Credit Agreement, the exposure under the Letters of Credit has been reduced to zero
and the Issuing Lender has no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement.

     (b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and
the security interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically
released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of
which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or is designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the Credit Agreement; provided that the Required
Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement)
and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. The security interest in the Pledged
Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released if such Subsidiary Guarantor is
designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

     (c) Holdings shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder subject to and
pursuant to the terms of Section 10.18 of the Credit Agreement.

-29-

 

     (d) Upon any sale or other transfer or disposal by any Grantor of any Collateral that is
permitted under the Credit Agreement (other than any such transfer, sale or disposal to another
Grantor), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest
granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, the security
interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

     (e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the
Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all
documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and
assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been)
so sold or otherwise disposed of, or released, and as may be in the possession of the
Administrative Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. Any
execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.16 shall be without recourse to or
warranty by the Administrative Agent.

     9.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR AND GRANTOR AND, BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM
THEREIN.
