SECTION 2.1 Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set
forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the
Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date as requested by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3;
provided, that (a) the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment and (b) the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from any Revolving
Credit Lender shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment less such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
outstanding L/C Obligations and outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Loan by a
Revolving Credit Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested
on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and
reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time from the Closing
Date through, but not including, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, that (a)
after giving effect to any amount requested, the Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the
Revolving Credit Commitment and (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline
Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the
Revolving Credit Commitment less the sum of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the L/C
Obligations and (ii) the Swingline Commitment.

(b) Refunding.

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Revolving Credit Lenders on demand by the
Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with
their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as
Revolving Credit Loans of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the books and records of the
Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall fund its respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to
the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on
the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Revolving Credit Lender’s
obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall
be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to
fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline
Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay
in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the
Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the
Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay
the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the
Revolving Credit Lenders or paid by the Borrower on the Swingline Lender’s demand are not
sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded.
If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf
of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so
recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf
of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the
manner required pursuant to Section 13.3 and which such Event of Default has not been
waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable).

(iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund
Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation,
non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI. Further, each Revolving Credit
Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans
pursuant to this Section, one of the events described in Section 12.1(i) or (j)
shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit
Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be
refunded in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount
of such Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline
Lender, in immediately available funds,

 

31

 

the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof
the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender
a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for
such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving
Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the
Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to
such Revolving Credit Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit
Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

SECTION 2.3 Procedure for Advances of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans.

(a) Requests for Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent
irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan
(other than Swingline Loans), (ii) 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR
Rate Loan and (iii) 1:00 p.m. on the same Business Day as each Swingline Loan, of its intention to
borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of
such borrowing, which shall be, (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in
an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (y)
with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $500,000 in excess thereof and (z) with respect to Swingline Loans in an aggregate principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, (C) whether such Loan is to
be a Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, (D) in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan whether
the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (E) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan,
the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. A Notice of Borrowing with respect to Base
Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) and LIBOR Rate Loans received after 11:00 a.m. or a Notice
of Borrowing with respect to Swingline Loans received after 1:00 p.m. shall, in each case, be
deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Revolving Credit Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Disbursement of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans. Not later than (i) 1:00
p.m. on the proposed borrowing date for each Base Rate Loan (other than Swingline Loans) or LIBOR
Rate Loan or (ii) 3:00 p.m. on the proposed borrowing date for each Swingline Loan, (A) each
Revolving Credit Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Borrower, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the
Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such borrowing date and (B) the Swingline Lender will make
available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower, at the office of the
Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline
Loans to be made on such borrowing date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section
in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the
Borrower identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (a
“Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or
as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time.
Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse
the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the
extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the
purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in
Section 2.2(b).

SECTION 2.4 Repayment and Prepayment of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans.

(a) Repayment on Termination Date. The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the
outstanding principal amount of (i) all Revolving Credit Loans in full on the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, and (ii)
all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (but, in any event, no later
than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid
interest thereon.

 

32

 

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If at any time (as determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.4(b)(i)), the Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment, the Borrower shall repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent,
by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders,
Revolving Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess with each such repayment
applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans,
second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and
third, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, a payment of cash
collateral into a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Credit Lenders, in an amount equal to the
aggregate L/C Obligations then outstanding (such cash collateral shall be deposited in the
Permitted Currency in which such Letters of Credit are issued and which cash collateral
shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b)). The Borrower’s compliance
with this Section 2.4(b)(i) shall be tested from time to time by the Administrative
Agent at its sole discretion, but in any event shall be tested on the date on which the
Borrower requests the Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit under Section 3.2.

(ii) If, as of any Fiscal Quarter end, the sum of (1) the Revolving Credit Outstandings
as of such date plus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then
outstanding exceeds the Eligible Account Amount as of such Fiscal Quarter end, the Borrower
shall (A) within ten (10) Business Days after the day by which the Borrower is required to
provide an Officer’s Compliance Certificate for such Fiscal Quarter pursuant to Section
8.2, repay Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (in each case, without any
corresponding reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and Term Loans in an amount
equal to such excess by payment of such amount to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders and (B) within the time periods required pursuant to Section 2.4(c)
deliver a Notice of Prepayment to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt of such Notice,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders. Each prepayment required
hereby shall be applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline
Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and
third, to reduce in direct order of maturity the next eight (8) succeeding scheduled
principal installments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.3 (with respect to
any such outstanding Term Loans, pro rata on the basis of the original
aggregate funded amount thereof among the Initial Term Loan and, if applicable, any
Incremental Term Loans) and then to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the
remaining scheduled principal installments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.3
(with respect to any such outstanding Term Loans, pro rata on the basis of
the original aggregate funded amount thereof among the Initial Term Loan and, if applicable,
any Incremental Term Loans).

(iii) If at any time (as determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.4(b)(iii)) and for any reason, the outstanding L/C Obligations exceed 105%
of the L/C Commitment, then the Borrower shall make a payment of cash collateral into a cash
collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender
and the Revolving Credit Lenders in an amount equal to the amount by which such outstanding
L/C Obligations exceed the L/C Commitment (such cash collateral shall be deposited in the
Permitted Currency in which such Letters of Credit are issued and which cash collateral
shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b)). The Borrower’s compliance
with this Section 2.4(b)(iii) shall be tested from time to time by the
Administrative Agent at its sole discretion, but in any event
shall be tested on the date on which the Borrower requests the Issuing Lender to issue
a Letter of Credit under Section 3.2.

 

33

 

(c) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice
of Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate
Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan,
specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans,
Base Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the
amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Revolving Credit Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice. Partial prepayments shall be
in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof with respect
to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in
excess thereof with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof with respect to Swingline Loans. A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m.
shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any
amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof.

(d) Prepayment of Excess Proceeds. In the event proceeds remain after any prepayments
of the Term Loan Facility pursuant to Section 4.4(b), the amount of such excess proceeds
shall be used on the date of the required prepayment under Section 4.4(b) to prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, without a corresponding reduction of
the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(e) Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower may not prepay any
LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section
5.9 hereof.

(f) Hedge Agreements. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this Section shall
affect any of the Borrower’s obligations under any Hedge Agreement.

SECTION 2.5 Permanent Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a) Voluntary Reduction. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time
to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to
permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any
time or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate
principal amount not less than $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.
Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit
Lender. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit
Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.
All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b) Corresponding Payment. Each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this
Section shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the Revolving Credit
Outstandings after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the
Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall be required to deposit cash collateral in the applicable
Permitted Currency in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount
equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit in excess of the
Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to
the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and

 

34

 

the unused portion thereof after
all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be returned
to the Borrower; provided, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all
cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b). Any reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral in the applicable Permitted
Currency satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations) and shall result in the
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving
Credit Facility. Such cash collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment
of drafts drawn under outstanding 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 returned to
Borrower; provided, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all cash
collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 12.2(b). If the reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be
accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof.

SECTION 2.6 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility
and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date unless
sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

ARTICLE III

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing
Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a),
agrees to issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary thereof on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the
fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in such form as may
be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender
shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance,
(a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the Revolving Credit Outstandings
would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in a
Permitted Currency, (ii) be in a minimum amount of $100,000 (or, with respect to an Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of the Alternative Currency in which such Alternative Letter
of Credit is to be denominated which is equivalent to $100,000 at the most favorable spot exchange
rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be available to it at approximately 11:00 a.m. two
(2) Business Days before such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is to be issued or extended)
(or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Issuing Lender), (iii) if a standby Letter of Credit,
expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such
Letter of Credit (subject to customary automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods
pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to the
Issuing Lender), which date shall be no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (iv) if a commercial Letter of Credit, expire on a date no more
than 180 days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, which date shall be no later
than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (v) be
subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as
determined by the Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the
State of New York. The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of
Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C
Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and
derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or
modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. As of
the Closing Date, the Rollover Letter of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding under this
Agreement.

 

35

 

SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time
to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing
Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to
the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and
information as the Issuing Lender may request (which information shall include the Permitted
Currency in which such Letter of Credit shall be denominated). Upon receipt of any Letter of
Credit Application, the Issuing Lender shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the
certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in
accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article
VI, 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 two (2) Business Days after its
receipt of the Letter of Credit 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 by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The
Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly
notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Revolving Credit
Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Revolving Credit Letter of Credit and the amount of
such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation therein.

SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges.

(a) Letter of Credit Commissions. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with
respect to each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit
(reflected as the Dollar Amount thereof as determined by the Administrative Agent)
multiplied by the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit Loans that are LIBOR
Rate Loans (determined on a per annum basis). Such commission shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Lender and the L/C Participants all
commissions received pursuant to this Section in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages.

(b) Fronting Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit in the amount as separately agreed to between the Borrower and the Issuing
Lender. Such issuance fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower
shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are
incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or
otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

(d) Payment in Dollars. The commissions, fees, charges, costs and expenses payable
pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be payable in Dollars.

 

36

 

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant,
and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender,
on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an
undivided interest
equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s
obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the
amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally
and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit
for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving Credit
Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to
the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an
amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such
draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the
Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any
payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each
L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall
pay to the Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is
paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to
the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount,
times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent
during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A
certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the
unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any
such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that
Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the
following Business Day.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such
payment in accordance with this Section, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such
Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on
account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro
rata share of the Dollar Amount thereof; provided, that in the event that any such
payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such
L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by
the Issuing Lender to it.

(d) All payments made by any L/C Participant under this Section 3.4 shall be made in
Dollars; provided that the Borrower shall be liable for any currency exchange loss pursuant
to the terms of Section 5.10(e).

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In the event of any drawing
under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a
Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same
day funds, in Dollars, the Issuing Lender on each date on which the Issuing Lender notifies the
Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit (if such notice is
received prior to 1:00 p.m. on such date or otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day) for the
amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred
by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all
costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit). Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the Issuing
Lender that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such drawing from other
sources or funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan
bearing interest at

 

37

 

the  Base Rate on such date in the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b)
any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection
with such payment (including, without limitation, any and all costs, fees and other expenses
incurred by the Issuing Lender in effecting the payment of any Alternative Currency Letter of
Credit), and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at
the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing
Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Revolving Credit Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this
Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without
limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article
VI. If the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other
sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided above, the unreimbursed amount
of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate
Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full.

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article
III (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or
defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing
Lender and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement
Obligation 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. The 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 caused by the
Issuing Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Borrower agrees that any action taken
or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related
drafts or documents, if done in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct
shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any
L/C Participant to the Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit 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 in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Application. To the extent that any provision
of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Article III, the provisions of this Article III shall apply.

SECTION 3.8 Additional Issuing Lender.

(a) The Borrower may designate one other Lender approved by the Administrative Agent (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to serve as an additional Issuing Lender by
delivering written notice to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the
issuance of any Letters of Credit by such additional Issuing Lender. Letters of Credit may only be
issued by such additional Issuing Lender if (i) a beneficiary is unwilling to accept a Letter of
Credit issued by Wachovia or (ii) Wachovia is unwilling or unable to issue a Letter of Credit
within the time periods set forth herein.

 

38

 

(b) Any Lender designated as an additional Issuing Lender shall remain as such until (i) the
Borrower gives written notice to the Administrative Agent and such additional Issuing Lender that
such Lender is no longer an additional Issuing Lender or (ii) such additional Issuing Lender
resigns. Any additional Issuing Lender may resign upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. After the removal or resignation of an additional Issuing Lender hereunder,
such additional Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the
rights and obligations of such additional Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such removal or resignation until no L/C Obligations remain
outstanding with respect to such additional Issuing Lender, but shall not be required or permitted
to issue additional Letters of Credit.

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

SECTION 5.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section, at the election
of the Borrower, (i) Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin
(provided that the LIBOR Rate shall not be available until three (3) Business Days after
the Closing Date unless the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the
manner set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement) and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear
interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower shall select the rate
of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing
is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section
5.2. Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Borrower has not duly specified an
interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan and any LIBOR Rate Loan for which
the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to have an Interest Period of one
(1) month.

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower, by
giving notice at the times described in Section 2.3 or 5.2, as applicable, shall
elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which
Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months or, if agreed
by all of the relevant Lenders, nine (9) or twelve (12) months
(provided that the first Interest Period beginning on the Closing Date shall terminate on
September 22, 2008); provided that:

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any
LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive
Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest
Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day,
such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any
Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is
not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in
such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

 

42

 

(iii) any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan that begins on the last
Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the
last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the
Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, and Interest Periods shall be selected by the
Borrower so as to permit the Borrower to make the quarterly principal installment payments
pursuant to Section 4.3 without payment of any amounts pursuant to Section
5.9; and

(v) there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect at any time.

(c) Default Rate. Subject to Section 12.3, (i) immediately upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 12.1(a), (b),
(i) or (j), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the
option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding LIBOR
Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate
(including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the
applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate
(including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (C) all outstanding Base
Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the
Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder
or under any other Loan Document. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the
filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act
or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due
and payable in arrears on each “Payment Date” set forth in the table in Section 4.3(a)
commencing September 22, 2008; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the
last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three
(3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days
elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis
of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year).

(e) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all
amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent
jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a
court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the
highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum
rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i)
promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum
lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata
basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any
manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable
Law.

 

43

 

SECTION 5.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrower shall have the
option to (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or
any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount
equal to $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate
Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its
outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$500,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such
LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans
as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written
notice in the form attached as Exhibit E (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later
than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or
continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued,
and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the
then-current Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation
(which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or
continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate
Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of
Conversion/Continuation.

SECTION 5.3 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting
Lender), a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal
to the Applicable Margin on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of
the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any) during the period for
which such Commitment Fee is to be paid; provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline
Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment for the purpose of
calculating the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on each “Payment
Date” set forth in the table in Section 4.3(a) commencing September 22, 2008 and ending on
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Such Commitment Fee shall be promptly distributed by the
Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro
rata in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentages.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent
for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.
The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in
writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.

 

44

 

SECTION 5.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Loans and Letters of Credit Denominated in Dollars. Each payment by the Borrower
on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars
or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to
any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be
made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders (other
than as set forth below) pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment
Percentages, (except as specified below), in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be
made without any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such
time but before 2:00 p.m. on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for the purposes of
Section 12.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been made on
the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of
each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender within one (1) Business
Day of receipt thereof (and shall include interest at the daily average Federal Funds Rate for each
day thereafter that such amounts remain unpaid) at its address for notices set forth herein its
pro rata share of such payment in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage, (except as specified below) and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each
Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the principal of or interest on the
Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be
made in like manner, but for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the
Administrative Agent of the Issuing Lender’s fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in
like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lender or the L/C Participants, as the case may be.
Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made
for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections
5.9, 5.10, 5.11 or 14.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 5.1(b)(ii), if any payment under
this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be
made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

(b) Alternative Currency Letters of Credit. Each payment by the Borrower on account
of any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (including the Reimbursement Obligation with respect
to any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit) shall be made in Dollars not later than 1:00 p.m.
(the time of the Issuing Lender’s Correspondent) on the date specified for payment under this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent’s account with the Issuing Lender’s Correspondent for the
account of the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds, and shall be made without any
set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before
2:00 p.m. (the time of the Issuing Lender’s Correspondent) on such day shall be deemed a payment on
such date for the purposes of Section 12.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to
have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. (the time
of the Issuing Lender’s Correspondent) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day for all purposes.

SECTION 5.5 Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

 

45

 

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

SECTION 5.6 Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or
counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion
of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other
than pursuant to Sections 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 or 14.3) greater than its
pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make
such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that

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

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in
any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or
participant, other than to Holdings, the Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower, the
Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Credit Party and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable, consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each such Person rights
of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of such Person in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 5.7 Obligations of Lenders.

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share
of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with Sections 2.3(b) and 4.2 and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of
the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is

 

46

 

made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,  at (i)
in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds
Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. 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 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.

(b) Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations
of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit
are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available
its Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other
Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan
available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date.

SECTION 5.8 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest
Period the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the Administrative Agent)
shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank
markets generally, deposits in eurodollars, in the applicable amounts are not being quoted via the
Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such Interest
Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower.
Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer
exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to
convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrower
shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each
such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or convert the then outstanding principal amount
of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the
introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of
their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency announced after the
Closing Date, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their
respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate
Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter,
until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i)
the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert
any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and
thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the
Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall
immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.

 

47

 

SECTION 5.9 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against
any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or
employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a
consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder
in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or
convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation
or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the
last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined,
in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its
Commitment Percentage of the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any
reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A
certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and
shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 5.10 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except
any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender
or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 5.11 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder in respect
thereof (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of
such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.

 

48

 

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or
its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to
the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 5.11 Taxes.

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

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

 

49

 

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed
or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event
that the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of
the following is applicable:

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

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

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

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

 

50

 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the
Issuing Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the
Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender,
as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing 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, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitment.

SECTION 5.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 5.10, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.11, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.10 or Section
5.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
5.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.11, or if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 14.10), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 14.10;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.9) from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of
all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 5.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.11, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

 

51

 

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

SECTION 5.13 Security. The Obligations of the Borrower shall be secured as provided
in the Security Documents.

SECTION 5.14 Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

(a) At any time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower may by written
notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments
(any such increase, “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) the
total aggregate amount for all such Revolving Credit Commitment Increases shall not (as of any date
of incurrence thereof) exceed an amount equal to the sum of (A) $150,000,000 less (B) the
aggregate principal amount of all prior and simultaneous Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to
Section 5.15 and (ii) the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase
shall not be less than $10,000,000 or, if less, the remaining amount permitted pursuant to the
foregoing clause (i). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount
Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be
effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such
notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The then current Revolving Credit Lenders shall have
the first option to provide a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (in accordance
with their respective existing Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages), and to the extent that,
within five (5) Business Days of such request, the requested Revolving Credit Commitment Increase
is not fully subscribed, the Borrower may invite any Affiliate of any Lender, any Approved Fund
and/or any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (together with each
current Revolving Credit Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase,
the “Increasing Revolving Lenders” and each, an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) to
provide the remaining portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase. Any Increasing
Revolving Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase.

(b) Any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become effective as of such Increased
Amount Date; provided that: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such
Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase
and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall have received from the
Borrower an Officer’s Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Borrower will be in compliance
on a Pro Forma Basis with the financial covenants set forth in Article X both before and
after giving effect to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (and, if applicable, any
simultaneous Incremental Term Loan made pursuant to Section 5.15) and any Extensions of
Credit made in connection therewith.

(c) The outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of
Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent on the
applicable Increased Amount Date among the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Increasing
Revolving Lenders providing such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) in accordance with their
revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (and the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the
Increasing Revolving Lenders providing such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) agree to make all
payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and
all costs required pursuant to Section 5.9 in connection with such reallocation as if such
reallocation were a repayment).

 

52

 

(d) Each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit
Commitment for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e) Each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more
Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Credit Parties and the Limited Guarantor
Subsidiary, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Increasing Revolving Lenders
(which Joinder Agreement 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 opinion of
the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.14).

(f) The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other
documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or
equivalent governing body) of each Credit Party and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, as
applicable, authorizing such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

SECTION 5.15 Optional Incremental Term Loans.

(a) At any time prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower may by written notice to
the Administrative Agent elect to request term loans (each such term loan, an “Incremental Term
Loan”); provided that (i) the total aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental
Term Loans shall not (as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed an amount equal to the sum of
(A) $150,000,000 less (B) the aggregate principal amount of all prior and simultaneous
Revolving Credit Commitment Increases made pursuant to Section 5.14 and (ii) the principal
amount of each Incremental Term Loan shall not be less than $10,000,000 or, if less, the remaining
amount permitted pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). Each such notice shall specify the date
(each, an “Incremental Term Loan Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that such
Incremental Term Loan shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business
Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Administrative Agent. The then current
Term Loan Lenders shall have the first option to provide a portion of the Incremental Term Loan (in
accordance with their respective existing Term Loan Percentages), and to the extent that, within
five (5) Business Days of such request, the requested Incremental Term Loan is not fully
subscribed, Borrower may invite any Affiliate of any Lender, any Approved Fund and/or any other
Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (together with each current Term Loan
Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Term Loan, the “Incremental Term Loan
Lenders” and each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) to provide the remaining portion
of such Incremental Term Loan). Any Incremental Term Loan Lender offered or approached to provide
all or a portion of any Incremental Term Loan may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to
provide such Incremental Term Loan.

(b) Such Incremental Term Loan shall become effective as of the applicable Incremental Term
Loan Effective Date; provided that: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such
Incremental Term Loan Effective Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan
and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Term Loan Lenders shall have received from the Borrower
an Officer’s Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Borrower will be in compliance on a Pro
Forma Basis with the financial covenants set forth in Article X both before and after
giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan (and, if applicable, any simultaneous Revolving Credit
Commitment Increase made pursuant to Section 5.14) and any Extensions of Credit made in
connection therewith.

(c) Each Incremental Term Loan will mature and amortize in a manner reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, the Incremental Term Loan Lenders making such Incremental Term Loan and
the Borrower, but such Incremental Term Loan will not in any event have a shorter weighted average
life to maturity than the Initial Term Loan or a final maturity date earlier than the Term Loan
Maturity Date. The other terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Term Loan shall,
except to the extent otherwise provided in this Section 5.15, be substantially similar to the
terms and conditions applicable to the Initial Term Loan.

 

53

 

(d) The Applicable Margin and pricing grid, if applicable, for any proposed Incremental Term
Loan shall be determined on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Effective Date; provided,
that if the all-in-yield, which shall be deemed to include any original issue discount (as
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) and any fees (other than reasonable and
customary facility, arrangement or closing fees) paid to the Incremental Term Loan Lenders in
connection with such proposed Incremental Term Loan (the “All-in-Yield”), exceeds the
All-in-Yield (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) with respect to the Initial
Term Loan or any existing Incremental Term Loan, then the Applicable Margin or fees payable by the
Borrower with respect to the Initial Term Loan and each existing Incremental Term Loan shall be
increased to the extent necessary to cause the All-in-Yield with respect to the Initial Term Loan
and such existing Incremental Term Loan to be equal to the All-in-Yield with respect to the
proposed Incremental Term Loan (the amount of such increase to be determined by the Administrative
Agent, in accordance with the foregoing, and effective as of the applicable Incremental Term Loan
Effective Date).

(e) Each Incremental Term Loan shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements
executed and delivered by the Credit Parties and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable,
the Administrative Agent and the applicable Incremental Term Loan Lenders (which Joinder Agreement
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 opinion of the Administrative
Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.15).

(f) The Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other
documents (including, without limitation, a resolution duly adopted by the board of directors (or
equivalent governing body) of each Credit Party and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, as
applicable, authorizing such Incremental Term Loan) reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in
connection with any such Incremental Term Loan.

Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make Extensions of Credit, the
Credit Parties and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, hereby represent and warrant to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders both before and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated hereunder, which representations and warranties shall be deemed made on the Closing
Date and as otherwise set forth in Section 6.3, that:

(a) Organization; Power; Qualification. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own its Properties and to carry on its
business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and authorized
to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its Properties or the nature of its
business requires such qualification and authorization except in jurisdictions where the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. The jurisdictions in which each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof are
organized and qualified to do business as of the Closing Date are described on Schedule
7.1(a).

(b) Ownership. Each Subsidiary of each Credit Party as of the Closing Date is listed
on Schedule 7.1(b). As of the Closing Date, the capitalization of each Credit Party and
its Subsidiaries consists of the number of shares or other equity interests, authorized, issued and
outstanding, of such classes and series, with or without par value, described on Schedule
7.1(b). All shares or other equity interests outstanding as of the Closing Date have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal liability
attaching to the ownership thereof, and not subject to any preemptive or similar rights, except as
described in Schedule 7.1(b). The shareholders or other owners, as applicable, of each
Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and the number of shares or other equity interests owned by each
as of the Closing Date are described on Schedule 7.1(b). As of the Closing Date, there are
no outstanding stock purchase warrants, subscriptions, options, securities, instruments or other
rights of any type or nature whatsoever, which are convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise
provide for or permit the issuance of Capital Stock of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof,
except as described on Schedule 7.1(b).

(c) Authorization; Enforceability. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof has
the right, power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of each
Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof that is a party thereto, and each such document
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party and each Subsidiary
thereof that is a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of
creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies.

(d) Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing with Laws, Etc. The
execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if
applicable, of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a party, in accordance with their
respective terms, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby do
not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require any
Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to any Credit Party or the Limited
Guarantor Subsidiary, if
applicable, where the failure to obtain such Governmental Approval or such violation could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) conflict with,

 

59

 

result in a breach of
or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
documents of any Credit Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, (iii) conflict
with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or other
instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any
Governmental Approval relating to such Person, which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or as set forth on Schedule 7.1(d), (iv) result in or require the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Person other than Liens arising under the Loan Documents or (v) require any
consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act in respect of, an arbitrator or Governmental
Authority or any other Person other than (A) consents, authorizations, filings or other acts or
consents for which the failure to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, (B) consents or filings under the UCC, (C) filings with the United States
Copyright Office and/or the United States Patent and Trademark Office and (D) as may be required
with respect to vehicles registered under a certificate of title.

(e) Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each Credit Party and each
Subsidiary thereof (i) has all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable Law for it to
conduct its business, each of which is in full force and effect, is final and not subject to review
on appeal and is not the subject of any pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened attack
by direct or collateral proceeding, (ii) is in compliance with each Governmental Approval
applicable to it and in compliance with all other Applicable Laws relating to it or any of its
respective properties and (iii) has timely filed all material reports, documents and other
materials required to be filed by it under all Applicable Laws with any Governmental Authority and
has retained all material records and documents required to be retained by it under Applicable Law
except in each case (i), (ii) or (iii) where the failure to have, comply or file could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Tax Returns and Payments. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof has duly
filed or caused to be filed all federal, state, material local and other material tax returns
required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made adequate provision for the payment
of, all federal, state, local and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon
it and its property, income, profits and assets which are due and payable (other than any amount
that is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to
which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided for on the books of such Person). Such
returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of any Credit Party or
any Subsidiary thereof for the periods covered thereby. Except as set forth on Schedule
7.1(f), there is no ongoing audit or examination or, to the knowledge of Holdings or any
Subsidiary thereof, other investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax liability of any
Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof. No Governmental Authority has asserted in writing any Lien
or other claim against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof with respect to unpaid taxes
which has not been discharged or resolved (other than (i) any amount that is currently being

charges, accruals and reserves on the books of each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof in

the organization of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof are in the judgment of Holdings and
the Borrower adequate.

therewith, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders,
administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements
outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary

62

 

(j) Margin Stock. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is engaged principally
or as one of its activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or
“carrying” any
“margin stock” (as each such term is defined or used, directly or indirectly, in Regulation U
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the
Loans or Letters of Credit will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock or for any purpose
which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of such
Board of Governors. If requested by any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) or the
Administrative Agent, Holdings will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement
to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred

that is required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and no Credit

Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of each Material Contract required to be listed on

conditions except that (i) such balance sheet shall be subject to normal year end closing and audit
adjustments and (ii) with respect to such projections, it is recognized that actual results for the
periods covered may differ from the projections and such differences may be material.

against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof by any court and such judgment, attachment,
award or order shall continue without having been discharged, vacated, bonded or stayed for a
period of sixty (60) consecutive days after the entry thereof (or, in any event, on or before the
date on which enforcement thereof may be pursued).

foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), such debarment or suspension, final notice of disbarment or
suspension or termination for default shall not have been revoked, rescinded, withdrawn, stayed or
reversed within thirty (30) days of the entry or issuance thereof.

SECTION 12.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, 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:

(a) Acceleration; Termination of Facilities.

(i) Terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment and declare the principal of and interest on the
Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the
Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented or shall be entitled to present the documents
required thereunder) and all other Obligations (other than Specified Obligations), to be forthwith
due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by each Credit Party
and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, and terminate the Credit Facility and any right of the
Borrower to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 12.1(i) or (j), the Credit
Facility shall be automatically terminated and all Obligations (other than Specified Obligations)
shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by each Credit Party and the Limited Guarantor
Subsidiary, if applicable, anything in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding; and

(ii) exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all of its other rights and remedies under this

92

 

(b) Letters of Credit. 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 the
preceding 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 (which cash collateral shall be deposited in the applicable Permitted Currency in
which each such Letter of Credit is denominated). Amounts held in such cash collateral account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment 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 the other Obligations on a pro rata basis.
After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement
Obligation 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.

SECTION 12.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not
intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right
or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be
cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or
otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be
a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify
or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default.

SECTION 12.4 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations
have been accelerated pursuant to Section 12.2 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender
has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments
received by the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the enforcement of the
Obligations shall be applied:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,
expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such and the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
First payable to them);

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan
Documents, including attorney fees (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Second payable to them);

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them);

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of
the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, Specified Hedge Obligations (including any termination
payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and Specified Cash Management Obligations
(ratably among the Lenders and the counterparties to the Specified Hedge Obligations and Specified
Cash Management
Obligations, as applicable, in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Fourth held by them);

 

93

 

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to cash
collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding in accordance with Section 12.2(b); and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

SECTION 12.5 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Limited Guarantor
Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C
Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations arising under the Loan
Document that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 5.3 and 14.3) allowed in
such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3,
5.3 and 14.3.

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

ARTICLE XIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 13.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wachovia to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take
such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and
neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as counterparty to a Specified Hedge
Agreement or Specified Cash Management Arrangement, as applicable) and the Issuing Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and
the Issuing Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any Credit Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, to secure any of
the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XIII for
purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under
the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of
the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Articles
XIII and XIV (including Section 13.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full
herein with respect thereto.

SECTION 13.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and
may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,
include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or
in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent
hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
 SECTION 13.3 Exculpatory
Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

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

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

 

95

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.2 and Section 14.2) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
Default (other than a payment Default) unless and until notice describing such Default is given to
the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Lender may from time to time request in writing that the
Administrative Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document required by this
Agreement to be delivered by any Credit Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable,
to the Administrative Agent and which report or document has not been contemporaneously provided by
such Person to the Lenders and, upon receipt of such written request, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly provide a copy of such report or document to such Lender and (ii) to the extent that
the Administrative Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request
additional reports or information from any Credit Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if
applicable, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request that the Administrative Agent
exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s written notice to the Administrative Agent,
whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly request such information on behalf of such Lender
and promptly provide a copy thereof to such Lender upon receipt thereof.

SECTION 13.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have
been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, 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. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for Holdings and the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 13.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by
or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
Credit Facility as well as activities as
Administrative Agent.

 

96

 

SECTION 13.6  Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders,
the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld and which, in any event, will not be required during the continuance of an Event of
Default), 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 Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender with the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and, which consent, shall not be required if
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), appoint a successor Administrative
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then
such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security 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 the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
(or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from
all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article
and Section 13.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by Wachovia as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender
and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c)
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 arrangement satisfactory
to the retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender
with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 13.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and
the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on
such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

97

 

SECTION 13.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, book manager, lead manager,
arranger, lead arranger or co-arranger listed on the cover page or signature pages 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.

SECTION 13.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion (without notice to, or vote or consent
of, any counterparty to any Specified Hedge Agreement or Specified Cash Management Arrangement that
was a Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender at the time such agreement was executed),

(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties (whether or not on the date of such release there may be
outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due), under
any Loan Document (i) upon repayment of the outstanding principal of and all accrued interest on
the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, payment of all outstanding fees and expenses hereunder,
the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the expiration or termination of all Letters
of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 14.2, if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b) to subordinate or release any Lien on any Collateral (whether or not on the date of such
subordination or release there may be outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent
indemnification obligations not then due) granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any
Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien;

(c) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Limited Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable,
(whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified Obligations or
contingent indemnification obligations not then due) from its obligations under the Subsidiary
Guaranty Agreement, the Collateral Agreement and any other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to
be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(d) to release GLS as a Subsidiary Guarantor upon the designation of GLS as the Unrestricted
Subsidiary.

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 Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary
Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section.

 

98

 

 SECTION 13.10 Release of Liens and Guarantees of Subsidiaries. If any of the
Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower, any other Credit
Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, in a transaction permitted by this
Agreement (including by way of merger, consolidation or in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary
permitted hereunder), then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of the
Borrower or such other Person, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or
warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens
created by any of the Security Documents on such Collateral.
In the
case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a
transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 11.5, the Liens
created by any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released (without
need for further action by any person).
At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a
Subsidiary that is a Credit Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, shall be
released from all its obligations under this Agreement and under all other Loan Documents in the
event that all or a majority of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger or
consolidation), and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole
expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all
releases or other documents necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the foregoing.

SECTION 13.11 Specified Cash Management Arrangements and Specified Hedge Agreements.
No Lender or Affiliate thereof party to a Specified Cash Management Arrangement or Specified Hedge
Agreement, as applicable, that obtains the benefits of Section 12.4 or any Collateral by
virtue of the provisions hereof or of 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.

related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against
an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to

is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) 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) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the

written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final,
in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time
owing by such Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary,
if applicable, against any and all of the obligations of such Person now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Issuing
Lender or the Swingline Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document and although such obligations of such Person may be contingent or unmatured or are
owed to a branch or office of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender different

Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each
Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless expressly set
forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the law of the

(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and of the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from

Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment in such action or proceeding, and
each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the

agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the

proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other
Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action
or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 14.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect
the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

SECTION 14.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND

104

 

SECTION 14.7 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party or the Limited
Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of
the Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the Obligations or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 14.8 Injunctive Relief; Punitive or Consequential Damages.

(a) The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or
discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove
to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Lenders, at the
Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages.

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Holdings and the Borrower (on behalf of itself, the
other Credit Parties and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable) hereby agree that no such
Person shall have a remedy of special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) against any other party to a Loan Document and each such
Person hereby waives any right or claim to such damages that they may now have or may arise in the
future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or
judicially.

SECTION 14.9 Accounting Matters. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the
computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the
Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original
intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders);
provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be
computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under
this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between
calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in
GAAP.

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and

Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

105

that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

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

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is
not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent
or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of
the Revolving Credit Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in
respect of the Term Loan Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise
consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five
(5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the
assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly
refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned;

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

continuing at the time of such assignment, (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (z) such assignment is in respect of
the Initial Term Loan and is made during the period commencing on the Closing Date
and ending on the date that is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (provided
that the Arranger shall consult with the Borrower prior to assignments during such
period);

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of
(i) the Revolving Credit Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a
Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an
Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender or (ii) the Term Loan Facility to a Person that is not a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

 

106

 

(C) the consents of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (such consents
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment
that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one
or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding) or for any assignment in
respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (provided, that only
one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more
Approved Funds by a Lender and no fee shall be payable in connection with any assignment to
an Affiliate of such Lender or any other Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and
14.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d)
of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption and each Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and
principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”). The Commitments and Commitment Percentages of certain of the Lenders as
of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 14.10(c). The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the
Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

 

107

 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or
Holdings, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or the Sponsor or any
of the Sponsor’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in
Section 14.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of
the Required Lenders. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.8, 5.9, 5.10
and 5.11 (subject to the requirements of those sections, including any delivery
requirements) 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 14.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.6 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 5.10 and 5.11 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.11 unless the
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for
the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.11(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 14.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and such
Information shall be disclosed solely in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents), (b) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or
regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement
or under any other Loan Document (or any Specified Hedge Agreement) or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Specified Hedge Agreement) or the
enforcement of rights hereunder or

 

108

 

thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any proposed purchasing Lender, purchasing
Lender, Participant or proposed Participant, 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, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar
bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information
customarily found in such publications, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (j) to governmental regulatory
authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if
the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by those
authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary
thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of
information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof 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.

SECTION 14.12 Performance of Duties. The obligations of each of the Credit Parties
and the Limited Guarantor Subsidiary, if applicable, under this Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents shall be performed by such Person at its sole cost and expense.

SECTION 14.13 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other
authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of
the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Revolving Credit Commitments remain in
effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

SECTION 14.14 Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the
provisions of this Article XIV and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

SECTION 14.15 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and
subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither
limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 14.16 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 SECTION 14.17 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery
of an executed signature page of this Agreement or Lender Authorization by facsimile transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control;
provided that any provision of the Security Documents that imposes additional burdens on
Holdings or its Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of Holdings or its Subsidiaries or
gives the Administrative Agent or the Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in
conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect. Each Loan
Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be
construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning
thereof. Except as provided in Section 6.2, this Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other
parties hereto. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that each covenant
contained in Articles VIII through XI hereof shall be given independent effect and
that no Credit Party nor any Subsidiary thereof shall engage in any transaction or other act
otherwise permitted under any particular covenant contained in such Articles if such transaction or
other act would otherwise be prohibited or would not be permitted by another covenant contained in
such Articles.

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

SECTION 14.18 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the
Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than (a) contingent
indemnification obligations not then due and (b) the Specified Obligations) arising hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in
full and the Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated. No termination of this Agreement
shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or
in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such termination.

SECTION 14.19 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender 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 and Guarantors, which information
includes the name and address of each Borrower and Guarantor and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 14.20 Delivery of Lender Authorization. Each initial Lender (other than any
Lender whose name appears on the signature pages to this Agreement) shall become a party to this
Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Authorization duly executed by such
Lender.
