Swingline Loans it shall give the Euro Swingline Lender irrevocable written notice via
facsimile transmission (with the original thereof to follow via mail or courier) with a
facsimile copy to the Administrative Agent (which facsimile notice must be received by the
Euro Swingline Lender not later than 12:00 P.M. (Noon), London time, on the proposed
Borrowing Date), specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed and (B) the requested Borrowing
Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the
Euro Swingline Commitment shall be a minimum of the Foreign Currency Equivalent for Euros of
$100,000. Unless the Euro Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing)
from the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., London Time, on the date of the proposed
borrowing of the Euro Swingline Loan (A) directing the Euro Swingline Lender not to make
such Euro Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(c), or (B)
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4 is not then satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Borrowing Date specified in a
notice in respect of the relevant Euro Swingline Loan, the Euro Swingline Lender shall make
available to an account designated by the applicable Foreign Borrower in such notice an
amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Euro Swingline Loan to be
made by the Euro Swingline Lender.

          (b) Each of the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, at any time and
from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may (and, in any event, on the tenth (10th)
Business Day after any Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan is made to the applicable Borrower,
the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall), on behalf of the
applicable Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender or the Euro
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, to act on its behalf), on two Business Day’s written notice
(which notice shall be given at least two Business Days prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day
after any Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan is made to the applicable Borrower) given by the
Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request
each Lender

30

 

(or in the case of a Euro Swingline Loan, each Multicurrency Lender) to make, in accordance with
the applicable provisions of Section 2.2 (without regard to the minimums and multiples specified
therein for the principal amount of Dollar Revolving Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as the case may
be, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2), and each Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, hereby agrees to make, a
Dollar Revolving Loan or, in the case of a Euro Swingline Loan, a Multicurrency Loan denominated in
Euros, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage (or, in the case of a Euro
Swingline Loan, such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage) of the aggregate
amount of the Swingline Loans or the Euro Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender,
as the case may be. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Dollar Revolving Loan or such
Multicurrency Loan denominated in Euros, as the case may be, available to the Administrative Agent
at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall
be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender or the Euro
Swingline Lender, as applicable, for application to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.
The Company and each Foreign Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender or the Euro
Swingline Lender, as applicable, to charge the applicable Borrower’s accounts with the
Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay
the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not
sufficient to repay in full relevant Refunded Swingline Loans.

          (c) If prior to the time a Dollar Revolving Loan or a Multicurrency Loan, as the case may be,
would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.5(b), one of the events described in Section
7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing or if for any other reason, as determined by the
Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, in its sole discretion, Dollar
Revolving Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as the case may be, may not be made as contemplated by
Section 2.5(b), each Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, shall, on the date such Loan
was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.5(b) (the “Refunding
Date”), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline
Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, as the case may be, by paying to the Swingline Lender or the Euro
Swingline Lender, as applicable, an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to
(i) such Lender’s Revolving Percentage or such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving
Percentage, as applicable, times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans
or the Euro Swingline Loans, as applicable, then outstanding that were to have been repaid with
such Loans.

          (d) (i) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as
applicable, has received from any Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable,
receives any payment on account of its Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, as the case may be,
such Person will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and
interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Swingline Loans or the Euro Swingline Loans,
as applicable, then due) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender or the Euro
Swingline Lender.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, as
applicable, in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline
Loan, as applicable, is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline
Lender, as applicable, under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.7A (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline
Lender, as

31

 

applicable, in its discretion), each Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, shall
pay to the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, its Revolving
Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will
make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as
applicable. The obligations of the Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

          (e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(b) and to purchase
participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such Lender or the Borrowers (or any of them) may have against any Swingline
Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender, the Company, the other Borrowers or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the
failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4; (iii) any adverse change in
the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers (or any of them); (iv) any breach of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Lender; or (v)
any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation
of the applicable Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, together with
interest as provided herein.

          (f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, any amount required to be paid
by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, the Swingline Lender or
the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
such Person at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate from time to
time in effect and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as
applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Person in
connection with the foregoing. If such Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, pays such
amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Dollar Revolving Loan or such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Loan, as applicable, or funded
participation in the relevant Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, submitted to any Lender (through
the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.5(f) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

          (g) The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business
Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase or decrease the Swingline
Commitment or the Euro Swingline Commitment, as the case may be, by reducing and reallocating by an
equivalent amount all or a portion of the Swingline Commitment or the Euro Swingline Commitment, as
applicable; provided that in no event shall (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the Euro Swingline
Commitment exceed $10,000,000 at any time and (y) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of
the Swingline Commitment and the Euro Swingline Commitment exceed $100,000,000 at any time. All
such reallocations shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000. In the event of a reallocation of
the Swingline Commitment and the Euro Swingline Commitment as described in the foregoing sentence,
the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the parties hereto to change the definitions of
“Swingline Commitment” and the “Euro Swingline Commitment” herein to provide for the reallocations
thereof. The Administrative Agent shall (i) notify each of the Lenders promptly after receiving
any notice of a

32

 

reallocation under this Section 2.5(g) and (ii) promptly upon the effectiveness of any such
reallocation, distribute to the Lenders any change to the definitions of “Swingline Commitment” and
the “Euro Swingline Commitment”. In the event of a reallocation of he Swingline Commitment or the
Euro Swingline Commitment as described above, upon the request of any Swingline Lender or Euro
Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Person (through the
Administrative Agent) a Note reflecting such reallocations.

          (h) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline
Lender shall each be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrowers for interest on the
Swingline Loans and the Euro Swingline Loans. Until each Lender or Multicurrency Lender funds its
Dollar Revolving Loans or its Multicurrency Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section
2.5 to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Swingline Loan or such Multicurrency
Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage of any Euro Swingline Loan, as applicable, interest in
respect of such Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the
account of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable.

          (i) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal
and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans and the Euro Swingline Loans directly to the
Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable.

          2.6. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing
Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.8(a), agrees to
issue standby or trade letters of credit, bank guaranties or other similar forms of credit issued
by such Issuing Lender (together with any Designated Letters of Credit, “Letters of Credit”) for
the account of any Borrower on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as may be
approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender shall issue any
Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the
L/C Commitment or (ii) the sum of the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total
Commitments. No Foreign Borrower shall request and no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of
Credit for the account of such Foreign Borrower if, after issuing such Letter of Credit, the
aggregate Foreign Borrower Exposure of all Foreign Borrowers shall exceed the Aggregate Foreign
Sublimit then in effect. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or a Foreign
Currency, (ii) have a face amount of at least $10,000 or the Foreign Currency Equivalent thereof
(unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the earlier
of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days
prior to the Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide
for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the
date referred to in clause (y) above).

          (b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue, amend or increase any Letter of
Credit if:

          (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of
Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the
Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance
of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon
the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss,
cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in
good faith deems material to it;

33

 

          (ii) such issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
general application of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit;

          (iii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has
entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the
Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower or such Lender to
eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.37(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of
Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as
to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in
its sole discretion; or

          (iv) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the
stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

          (c) The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of
Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the Issuing Lender shall have all
of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 8 with respect
to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit
issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 8 included the Issuing
Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect
to the Issuing Lender.

          (d) On the Closing Date, (i) the Company shall provide Schedule 2.6, which Schedule shall list
the Designated Letters of Credit, (ii) such Designated Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be
Letters of Credit issued pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 2.6, (iii) the face amount
of such Designated Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the available L/C
Commitment and the Outstanding Extensions of Credit, (iv) the provisions of this Agreement shall
apply thereto, and the Company and the Lenders hereunder hereby expressly assume all obligations
with respect to such Letters of Credit that they would have if such Letters of Credit had been
issued pursuant to this Agreement and (v) all liabilities of the Company with respect to such
Designated Letters of Credit shall constitute obligations of the Company hereunder.

          2.7. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

          (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
the applicable Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
in the form of an Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such
Borrower. Such Application must be received by the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the
Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their sole
discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or amendment date, as the case may be. In the case
of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Application shall specify in form
and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender such information as required by the Issuing Lender
for the proposed Letter of Credit. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding
Letter of Credit, such Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing
Lender such information as required by the Issuing Lender for the proposed amendment of such
outstanding letter of Credit. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing
Lender and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such
requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Issuing
Lender or the Administrative Agent may require.

34

 

          (b) Promptly after receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy
of such Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the
Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice
from the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested
date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable
conditions contained in Section 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for
the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each
case in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately
upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter
of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount
of such Letter of Credit.

          (c) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, the Issuing Lender agrees to
issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the
Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing
with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary
thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month
period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) the Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an
expiry date not later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided, however,
that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender has
determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such
Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the
provisions of Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected
not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrowers that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4. is not then satisfied, and in each
such case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

          (d) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit
to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will
also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of
such Letter of Credit or amendment.

          2.8. L/C Participation. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and
hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of
Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and
purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of
Credit and the amount of each draft paid by each Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any
Letter of Credit for which any Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the relevant Borrower in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the related Reimbursement Obligation shall be
converted to Dollars in accordance with Section 2.9 and such L/C Participant shall pay to such
Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent upon demand at the
Administrative Agent’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C
Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation, or any part
thereof, that is not so

35

 

reimbursed. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the relevant Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the Issuing
Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the relevant Borrower
shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
amount of such drawing. If such Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Percentage thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of
ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1 for the principal amount of ABR Loans,
but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 4.2. Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Section 2.8 may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that
the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.

          (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 2.8(a) in respect of any Unreimbursed Amount under any Letter of Credit is paid to such
Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant
shall pay to such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the
product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the Overnight Rate, 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,
plus any applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing
Lender in connection with the foregoing. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant pursuant to Section 2.8(a) is not made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C
Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender
shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest
thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, plus any
applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Lender in
connection with the foregoing. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C
Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.8 shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

          (c) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.8(a) make funds available (and the
Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the
Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Funding Office in an amount equal to its Revolving
Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(d),
each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the relevant
Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing
Lender.

          (d) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of an
ABR Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other
reason, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender an L/C
Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing
shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate set
forth in Section 2.20(e). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8.

36

 

          (e) Until each Lender funds its ABR Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.8 to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect
of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing
Lender.

          (f) Each Lender’s obligation to make an ABR Loan or L/C Advances to reimburse the Issuing
Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.8, shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing
Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make ABR Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.8 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No such making
of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse
the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

          (g) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section 2.8 by the time specified in Section 2.8(c), then, without limiting the other
provisions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender
(acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately
available to the Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Overnight Rate and
a rate determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s ABR Loan included in the
relevant extension of credit under Section 2.1 or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause 2.8(g) shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

          2.8A. Repayment of Participations.

          (a) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with
Section 2.8(a), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment
in respect of the Unreimbursed Amount (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment
of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such L/C Participant
its pro rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

          (b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender
pursuant to Section 2.8(a) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in
Section 9.7A (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its
discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest
thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.

37

 

          2.9. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse
each Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent on the Business Day next succeeding the
Business Day on which such Issuing Lender notifies such Borrower of the date and amount of a draft
presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such
draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing
Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its address for notices referred to herein in the relevant currency and in immediately available
funds, unless (x) the Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have specified in its notice to the
applicable Borrower that it will require reimbursement in Dollars or (y) in the absence of any such
requirement that such Borrower reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars, such Borrower
shall have notified the applicable Issuing Lender promptly following the notice of drawing that
such Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars; provided that, in the case of any such
reimbursement in Dollars of any Letter or Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Exchange Rate for Dollars and the Foreign
Currency used for payment of such Letter of Credit as of the date of the payment of the draft
presented under such Letter of Credit by the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to the amount of
the drawing in the Foreign Currency promptly following the determination thereof. If the
applicable Borrower does not reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid by the Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in a Foreign Currency on the date required
pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.9, the Issuing Lender shall convert such
Reimbursement Obligation into Dollars at the rate of exchange then available to the Issuing Lender
in the interbank market where its foreign currency exchange operations in respect of such Foreign
Currency are then being conducted and such Borrower shall thereafter be required to reimburse the
Issuing Lender in Dollars for such Reimbursement Obligation (in the amount so converted). Subject
to the next succeeding sentence, interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on
which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the
Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.20(b) and (ii) thereafter,
Section 2.20(e). Interest shall be payable on any such amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency
from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full or conversion to Dollars as
provided herein at the rate determined by the Issuing Lender as its cost of funding such payment.

          2.10. Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement to
reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C
Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the following:

          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any
other Loan Document;

          (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that such
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit
(or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing
Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or
any unrelated transaction;

          (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

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

38

 

or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a
trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator,
receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law; or

          (e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment
thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with such
Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the Issuing
Lender. Such Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the
Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

          2.11. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under
any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and
the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of an Issuing Lender to
the applicable 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 substantially in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

          2.12. Applications; Applicability of ISP and UCP. (a) To the extent that any
provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of
this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

          (b) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by any Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a
Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of
Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules
of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each trade Letter of
Credit.

          2.13. Certain Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender will report in writing to
the Administrative Agent (i) on the fifth Business Day prior to the end of each fiscal quarter of
the Company, the aggregate stated amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of
the last Business Day of the preceding week and (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which an
Issuing Lender expects to issue, renew or amend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance,
renewal or amendment and the aggregate stated amount of Letters of Credit to be issued by it and
outstanding after giving effect to such issuance or amendment (and such Issuing Lender shall advise
the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, renewal or amendment occurred
and whether the amount thereof changed).

          2.13A. Role of Issuing Lender. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying
any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by
the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing
Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action
taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or

39

 

omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of
Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that
this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and
remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.
None of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor
any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for
any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.10; provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, such Borrower may have a claim against
the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only
to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such
Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence or the Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order,
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

          2.14. Fees and Other Charges, etc. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee for the period from and
including the date hereof to the last day of the Commitment Period, computed at the Facility Fee
Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether or not utilized) during
the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March,
June, September and December and on the later of the Termination Date and the date the Commitments
have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all fees and all other
expenses or amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in full. For the avoidance
of doubt, if any Lender continues to have any Outstanding Extensions of Credit after its Commitment
terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s
Outstanding Extensions of Credit from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to
but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Outstanding Extensions of Credit.

          (b) Reserved.

          (c) The applicable Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit (the
“Letter of Credit Fees”) issued for the account of such Borrower at a per annum rate equal
to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable,
computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn (as then in effect)
under such Letter of Credit shared ratably among the Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on
each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees
otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to
which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender
pursuant to Section 2.36 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to
the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving
Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.37(a)(iv), with the balance of
such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account. For purposes of computing the
daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit
shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4. If there is any change in the Standby Letter
of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable,

40

 

during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall
be computed and multiplied by the Standby Letter of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit
Fee Rate, as applicable, separately for each period during such quarter that such Standby Letter of
Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable, was in effect.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required
Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the interest
rate set forth in Section 2.20(e). The Borrowers shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its
own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate
specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the
issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing
the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the relevant Borrower and
the Issuing Lender, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of
such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum
specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on each L/C
Payment Date and thereafter on demand.

          (d) In addition to the foregoing fees, the applicable Borrower shall pay or reimburse each
Issuing Lender for (i) customary letter of credit fronting fees as set forth in a Fee Letter
between such applicable Borrower and any such Issuing Lender and (ii) such normal and customary
costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating,
effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued for the
account of such Borrower. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable
on demand and are nonrefundable absent manifest error.

          (e) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the
dates previously agreed to in writing by the Company and the Administrative Agent.

          2.15. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments. (a)
The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the
Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of
the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted
if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and
Euro Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit
would exceed the Total Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000,
or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the
Commitments then in effect. Any reduction of the Total Commitments to an amount below the
Multicurrency Sublimit then in effect shall result in an automatic dollar-for-dollar reduction of
the Multicurrency Sublimit. Any reduction of the Total Commitments shall result in an automatic
pro rata reduction of the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit then in effect or as otherwise
directed by the Company and approved by the Administrative Agent.

          (b) Following the Closing Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
then continuing, the Company may request that the Total Commitments and, at the Company’s option,
the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Subcommitments, be increased and, upon such request, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to solicit additional financial institutions to become
Lenders for purposes of this Agreement, or to encourage any Lender to increase its Commitment and,
if applicable, its Multicurrency Subcommitment, provided that (i) each Lender which is a
party to this Agreement prior to such increase shall have the first option, and may elect, to fund
its pro rata share of the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitment
and, if applicable, the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Subcommitments (or any such greater
amount in the event that one or more Lenders does not elect to fund its respective pro
rata share of the amount of the requested increase in the Total

41

 

Commitments and, if applicable, its Multicurrency Subcommitment), thereby increasing its Commitment
and, if applicable, its Multicurrency Subcommitment hereunder, but no Lender shall have any
obligation to do so, (ii) in the event that it becomes necessary to include a new financial
institution to fund the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitments and, if
applicable, the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Subcommitments, each such financial
institution shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Company (each such
acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) and each such financial institution shall become a
Lender hereunder and agree to become party to, and shall assume and agree to be bound by, this
Agreement, subject to all terms and conditions hereof; (iii) the Administrative Agent shall not
have any obligation to any Borrower or to any Lender to solicit additional financial institutions
or any increase in the Total Commitment and, if applicable, the Multicurrency Subcommitment of any
Lender pursuant to this §2.15(b); (iv) in connection with any increase in the Multicurrency
Subcommitment, such increase may, at the Company’s option, be dollar for dollar with any increase
in the Total Commitment or in some lesser proportion thereof; and (v) in no event shall the
addition of any Lender or Lenders or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender under this
§2.15(b) increase the Total Commitments to an amount greater than $750,000,000. Upon the addition
of any Lender, or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender, Schedule 1.1 shall be amended by
the Administrative Agent and the Company to reflect such addition or such increase, and the
Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender,
the Issuing Lender(s) and the Borrower copies of such Schedule 1.1. If, at any time that the
Commitments are increased pursuant to this §2.15(b), there are Loans then outstanding or L/C
Obligations, each new Lender, and each existing Lender that has increased its Commitment, shall
purchase Loans and L/C Obligations from each other Lender in an amount such that, after such
purchase or purchases, the amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations from each Lender shall
equal such Lender’s respective Revolving Percentage, as modified to give effect to such increase,
multiplied by the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding and L/C Obligations from all Lenders. To
the extent that any outstanding Loans bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, the Borrowers shall
pay any additional costs described in Section 2.26 incurred by any Lender.

          2.16. Optional Prepayments. (a) Each Borrower may at anytime and from time to time
prepay the Loans (other than Multicurrency Loans) outstanding to such Borrower, in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in
the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, and not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice
shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in Dollars or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars
is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the
Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.26. Upon receipt of any such
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is
given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans)
accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Dollar Revolving Loans
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

          (b) Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Multicurrency Loans outstanding
to such Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice (which
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 3:00 P.M., London time, three Business
Days before the date of prepayment (or four Business Days in the case of prepayment of Loans
denominated in a Yen)) specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Upon receipt of any such
notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Lender thereof. If any
such notice is

42

 

given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.26 and accrued interest to such date on the
amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Multicurrency Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount
of (w) £1,000,000 or a whole multiple of £100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Multicurrency
Loans denominated in Sterling, (x) €1,000,000 or a whole multiple or €100,000 in excess thereof, in
the case of Multicurrency Loans denominated in Euros, (y) C$1,000,000 or a whole multiple or
C$100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Multicurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars,
and (z) Y100,000,000 or a whole multiple or Y10,000,000 in excess thereof, in the case of
Multicurrency Loans denominated in Yen.

          2.17. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If, on any Calculation Date, (i) the Total
Outstanding Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Foreign Borrower
Exposure of all Foreign Borrowers exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit then in effect, or
(iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Multicurrency Loans outstanding on such date exceeds 105% of the
Multicurrency Sublimit on such date, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall, without notice or
demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that,
after giving effect thereto, (x) the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit do not exceed the Total
Commitments, (y) the aggregate Foreign Borrower Exposure of all Foreign Borrowers does not exceed
the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit then in effect and (z) the Dollar Equivalent of the Multicurrency
Loans outstanding on such date is equal to or less than the Multicurrency Sublimit on such date,
together with interest accrued to the date of such payment or prepayment on the principal so
prepaid and any amounts payable under Section 2.26 in connection therewith. Any prepayment of
Dollar Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be
applied to prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Borrower may in lieu of prepaying
Multicurrency Loans outstanding to such Borrower in order to comply with this paragraph deposit
amounts in the relevant Foreign Currencies in a Cash Collateral Account, for the benefit of the
Multicurrency Lenders, equal to the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Loans of such
Borrower required to be prepaid. To the extent that after giving effect to any prepayment of Loans
required by this paragraph, the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit at such time exceed the
Total Commitments at such time, the Company or the applicable Foreign Borrower shall, without
notice or demand, immediately deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, for the benefit of the Lenders,
upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of
such remaining excess. The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in any Cash
Collateral Account (to the extent thereof) to pay any Reimbursement Obligations which are or become
due thereafter and/or to repay Multicurrency Loans at the end of the Interest Periods therefor, as
the case may be, provided that, (x) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Administrative Agent shall release to the relevant Borrower from time to time such portion of
the amount on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account by such Borrower to the extent such amount is
not required to be so deposited in order for the Borrowers to be in compliance with this Section
2.17 and (y) the Administrative Agent may so apply such cash at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default. “Cash Collateral Account” means an account
specifically established by the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent for purposes of this
Section 2.17 and hereby pledged to the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the right of withdrawal for application in
accordance with this Section 2.17. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by any Foreign
Borrower shall be applied solely to the Loans of such Foreign Borrower or the Reimbursement
Obligations of such Foreign Borrower or deposited in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of
Multicurrency Loans of such Foreign Borrower or in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the
account of such Foreign Borrower.

          (b) If any prepayment occurs pursuant to this Section 2.17 on a day which is not the last day
of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders
such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.26.

43

 

          2.18. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Each of the Borrowers may elect from
time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, one Business Day prior to the date of conversion, provided that any such conversion of
Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.
Each of the Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert its ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans
denominated in Dollars by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election
(which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor) not later than
11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of conversion, provided that
no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their
sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

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

          2.19. Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans and all
selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so
that no more than 15 Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

          2.20. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to
the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day, plus the Eurocurrency Applicable Margin.

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

          (c) (i) Swingline Loans shall bear interest at (A) Bank of America’s cost of funds,
plus the Swingline Applicable Margin or, if such rate is not available, then (B) the
Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus the Swingline Applicable Margin; and

          (ii) Euro Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Quoted Rate, plus the
Swingline Applicable Margin.

          (d) Reserved.

          (e) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such
overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the
rate that

44

 

would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20
plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%,
and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any
facility fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% (unless such overdue amount is
denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such overdue amount shall bear interest of a rate
per annum equal to the highest rate then applicable under this Agreement to Multicurrency Loans
denominated in such Foreign Currency plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii)
above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before
judgment).

          (f) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto,
provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.20 shall be payable
from time to time on demand. Interest shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law.

          2.21. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with
respect to (i) ABR Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-,
as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed and (ii) Multicurrency Loans denominated
in Sterling, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for actual days elapsed.
The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the applicable Borrowers and the
relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on
a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The
Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the applicable Borrowers and the relevant
Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that
is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.23(c), bear interest for
one day.

          (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrowers and the
relevant Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request
of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.20(a).

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

          (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest
Period with respect to a Eurocurrency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan,

          (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders or
Required Multicurrency Lenders, as the case may be, that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the relevant
Lenders

45

 

(as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans
during such Interest Period, or

          (c) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrowers) that deposits in the applicable currency are not generally available, or cannot
be obtained by the relevant Lenders, in the applicable market (any Foreign Currency affected by the
circumstances described in clause (a), (b) or (c) is referred to as an “Affected Foreign
Currency”),

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (y) pursuant to clause
(a) or (b) of this Section 2.22 in respect of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, then (i)
any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars requested to be made on the first day of such
Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on
the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars shall be
continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars shall be
converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (z) in respect of
any Multicurrency Loans, then (i) any Multicurrency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency requested
to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (ii) any outstanding
Multicurrency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be due and payable on the first day of
such Interest Period. In the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with
respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the ABR, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate
component in determining the ABR shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders or the Required Multicurrency Lenders, as the case may be)
revokes such notice. Until such relevant notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or Multicurrency Loans in an Affected Foreign
Currency shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR
Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars.

          2.23. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Subject to Section 2.31, (a) each
borrowing by any Borrower of Dollar Revolving Loans from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro
rata according to the respective Borrowing Percentages of the relevant Lenders, (b) each payment by
any Borrower on account of any facility fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders
and (c) each borrowing by any Borrower of Multicurrency Loans from the Multicurrency Lenders
hereunder and any reduction of the Multicurrency Subcommitments of the Multicurrency Lenders shall
be made pro rata according to the respective Multicurrency Percentages of the Multicurrency
Lenders.

          (b) Subject to Section 2.31, (a) each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on
account of principal of and interest on the Dollar Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according
to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Dollar Revolving Loans then held by the
Lenders and (b) each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of
and interest on the Multicurrency Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Multicurrency Loans then held by the Multicurrency Lenders.

          (c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower, whether on account of
principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without deduction for any defense,
recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on
the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at its
Funding Office, in Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of fees payable
under Section 2.14(c) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies) and in
immediately available funds (or, in the case of principal or interest relating to Multicurrency
Loans, prior to 3:00 P.M., London time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Multicurrency Lenders,

46

 

at its Funding Office, in the relevant Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds).
The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon
receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the
Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due
and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

          (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on
the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any applicable
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the foregoing, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately
available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the
Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover (i) in the case of amounts denominated in
Dollars, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on
demand, from the applicable Borrower or (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Foreign
Currencies, such amount with interest thereon at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to
be the cost to it of funding such amount, on demand, from the applicable Borrower. If the
applicable 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 such Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of
the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice
to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to
the Administrative Agent. Any notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the applicable
Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such
Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not
be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their
respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the
Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which
any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest
thereon at the rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit
the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or any of them. Any
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this
subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

47

 

          (f) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters
of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.7
are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such
participation or to make any payment under Section 8.7 on any date required hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loans, to purchase its
participation or to make its payment under Section 8.7.

          (g) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by
the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in
Section 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent
shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest.

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

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

          (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Loan made by it, or change the basis
of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of
tax on the overall net income of such Lender); or

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

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

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

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

48

 

          (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect
of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the applicable Borrowers
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the applicable Borrowers
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
corporation for such reduction; provided that the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months
prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; and provided, further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such
claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the
period of such retroactive effect.

          (c) If any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction of any Foreign Currency (or any other
jurisdiction in which the funding operations of any Multicurrency Lender shall be conducted with
respect to such Foreign Currency) shall have in effect any reserve, liquid asset or similar
requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund loans
in such Foreign Currency, or by reference to which interest rates applicable to loans in such
Foreign Currency are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost
to such Multicurrency Lender of making or maintaining any Multicurrency Loan in such Foreign
Currency, and such Multicurrency Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers a notice
requesting compensation under this paragraph, then the applicable Borrowers will pay to such
Multicurrency Lender on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each affected Multicurrency Loan
an amount that will compensate such Multicurrency Lender for such additional cost; provided, that
the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Multicurrency Lender pursuant to
this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such
Multicurrency Lender notifies the applicable Borrowers of such Multicurrency Lender’s intention to
claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such
claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the
period of such retroactive effect.

          (d) If any Lender incurs Mandatory Costs with respect to a Loan from a lending office in the
United Kingdom or a Participating Member State and such Lender shall deliver to the applicable
Borrowers a notice requesting compensation under this paragraph, then the applicable Borrowers will
pay to such Lender on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each affected Loan an amount that
will compensate such Lender for such Mandatory Costs; provided that the applicable Borrowers shall
not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more
than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrowers of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended
to include the period of such retroactive effect.

          (e) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.24 submitted
by any Lender to the applicable Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of any one or more Borrowers pursuant
to this Section 2.24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans
and all other amounts payable hereunder.

49

 

          (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, (i) (A) the adoption of any
law, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement, (B) any change in any law, rule or
regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the
date of this Agreement or (C) compliance by any Lender with any request, guideline or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority made or issued after the
date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for any such Multicurrency Lender to make or
maintain any Multicurrency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with
respect to any Multicurrency Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or
international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any
change in exchange controls, but excluding conditions otherwise covered by this Section 2.24) which
would make it impracticable for the Required Multicurrency Lenders to make or maintain
Multicurrency Loans denominated in the relevant currency after the date hereof to, or for the
account of, any Borrower, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

          (i) such Multicurrency Lender or Multicurrency Lenders may declare that Multicurrency
Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) will not thereafter (for the duration of such
unlawfulness) be made by such Multicurrency Lender or Multicurrency Lenders hereunder (or be
continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Multicurrency Loan
(in the affected currency or currencies) or to continue a Multicurrency Loan (in the
affected currency or currencies), as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period
shall, as to such Multicurrency Lender or Multicurrency Lenders only, be of no force and
effect, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

          (ii) such Multicurrency Lender may require that all outstanding Multicurrency Loans (in
the affected currency or currencies), made by it be converted to ABR Loans or Loans
denominated in Dollars, as the case may be (unless repaid by the relevant Borrowers), in
which event all such Multicurrency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) shall be
converted to ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, as of the
effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (g) below and at the Exchange Rate on
the date of such conversion or, at the option of the relevant Borrower, repaid on the last
day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or, if earlier, the date on
which the applicable notice becomes effective.

In the event any Multicurrency Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all
payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted
Multicurrency Loans of such Multicurrency Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or
Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, made by such Multicurrency Lender resulting from
such conversion.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender shall be obligated to make
any Loan to a Foreign Borrower, and no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue, extend or renew
a Letter of Credit for the account of any Foreign Borrower, if (i) the adoption of any law, rule or
regulation after the date of this Agreement, (ii) any change in any law, rule or regulation or in
the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date of this
Agreement or (iii) compliance by any Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority made or issued after the date of this
Agreement, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make such Loan to a Foreign Borrower or such
Issuing Bank to issue, extend or renew a Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign
Borrower.

          (g) For purposes of Section 2.24(f), a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be
effective as to each Loan to a Foreign Borrower or Multicurrency Loan made by such Multicurrency

50

 

Lender, as the case may be, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently
applicable to the Loans to such Foreign Borrower or such Multicurrency Loan, as the case may be; in
all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrowers.

          (h) The obligations of the Foreign Borrowers under this Section 2.24 shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 2.35.

          2.25. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account
of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and
clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrowers or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered
pursuant to subsection (e) below.

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

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

          (c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b)
above, but subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, each Borrower shall, and does
hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 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) withheld or deducted by the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent or 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. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall preclude any Borrower from taking any and all
steps at its own expense to contest or seek a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax that such
Borrower believes in good faith to have been erroneously imposed or assessed and to retain any
refund so obtained. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, each Borrower shall
also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect
thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the Issuing Lender
for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of
this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrowers by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative

51

 

Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and
the Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor,
against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties,
interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender
or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to deliver on a timely basis, or as a result of
the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by
such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause
(ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement
of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or
the Issuing Lender, the termination of the Total Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all other Obligations.

          (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers or by the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.25, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, as the case may
be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be.

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

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

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

52

 

          (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable
treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers 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 at the relevant time such Foreign
Lender is legally entitled to the appropriate exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

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

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

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

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

          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the
Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or
the Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the Issuing Lender, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Lender,
as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender receives a
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with
respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay
to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing

53

 

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 Borrowers, upon the request
of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over
to the Borrowers (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 subsection 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 that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

          (g) The agreements in this Section 2.25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          2.26. Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each
Lender harmless from, any loss or expense relating to changes in interest rates that such Lender
may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of,
conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice
requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such
Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has
given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be exclusive of administrative costs and expenses and
may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of
such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the applicable margin included
therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that
would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts
payable pursuant to this Section 2.26 submitted to the relevant Borrower by any Lender shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          2.27. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender agrees that, upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.24 or 2.25 with respect to
such Lender or Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Lending Office for
any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event;
provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and
provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.27 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25.

          2.28. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender
that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25 or (b) is a
Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution or (c) cannot make Loans to a Foreign
Borrower as a result of the circumstances described in the last paragraph of Section 2.24(f);
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any
such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.27 so as to eliminate the
continued need for payment of

54

 

amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25, (iv) the replacement financial institution
shall purchase, at par (unless the Lender being replaced otherwise agrees in its discretion), all
Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v)
the relevant Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.26 if any
Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a
Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6
(provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred
to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the relevant
Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25, as
the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights
that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced
Lender.

          2.29. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court,
it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party
hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction,
the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately
preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

          (b) The obligations of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any
holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the
currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be
discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable
Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less
than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the applicable
Borrowers as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the
Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of each Borrower contained in this Section
2.29 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing
hereunder.

          2.30. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M., New York City
time, on each Calculation Date with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent shall
determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Foreign Currency,
provided that, upon receipt of a borrowing request pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii), the
Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Foreign
Currency on the related Calculation Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative
Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.1 with
respect to such borrowing request). The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the
relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset
Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 2.9, 2.14(c), 2.24(f), 2.29
and any other provision requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates
employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Foreign Currencies.

          (b) No later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of the principal amounts of the
relevant Multicurrency Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any Multicurrency Loans to be
made or repaid on such date).

55

 

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of each determination of an
Exchange Rate hereunder.

          2.31. Certain Borrowings of Dollar Revolving Loans and Refunding of Multicurrency
Loans. (a) If on any Borrowing Date on which a Borrower has requested the Multicurrency
Lenders to make Multicurrency Loans (the “Requested Multicurrency Loans”), (i) the
principal amount of the Requested Multicurrency Loans to be made by any Multicurrency Lender
exceeds the Available Commitment of such Multicurrency Lender (before giving effect to the making
and payment of any Dollar Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.31 on such
Borrowing Date), (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of such Requested Multicurrency
Loans, when added to the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of all other
Multicurrency Loans, does not exceed the Multicurrency Sublimit and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of
the amount of the excess described in the foregoing clause (i) is less than or equal to the
Available Commitments of the Lenders (before giving effect to the making and payment of any Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.31 on such Borrowing Date), each Lender (other than Multicurrency
Lenders) shall make a Dollar Revolving Loan to such Borrower on such Borrowing Date in accordance
with the applicable provisions hereof, and the proceeds of such Dollar Revolving Loans shall be
simultaneously applied to repay outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of such Multicurrency Lenders in
each case in amounts such that, after giving effect to (1) such borrowings and repayments and (2)
the borrowing from such Multicurrency Lenders of the Requested Multicurrency Loans, the excess
described in the foregoing clause (i) will be eliminated. To effect such borrowings and repayments,
(x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such Borrowing Date, the proceeds of such
Dollar Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made available by each Lender (other than
the Multicurrency Lenders) to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in Dollars and in
immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of such Dollar
Revolving Loans toward repayment of outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of such Multicurrency
Lenders and (y) concurrently with the repayment of such Dollar Revolving Loans on such Borrowing
Date, (I) such Multicurrency Lenders shall, in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof,
make the Requested Multicurrency Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount so requested by
the applicable Borrower and (II) the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Multicurrency Lenders whose Dollar Revolving Loans to such Borrower are repaid
on such Borrowing Date pursuant to this Section 2.31 all interest accrued on the amounts repaid to
the date of repayment, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.26 in connection
with such repayment.

          (b) If any borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans is required pursuant to this Section 2.31, a
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in the manner provided for Dollar Revolving Loans in
Section 2.2(a), except that the minimum borrowing amounts and threshold multiples in excess thereof
applicable to ABR Loans set forth in subsection 2.2(a) shall not be applicable to the extent that
such minimum borrowing amounts exceed the amounts of Dollar Revolving Loans required to be made
pursuant to this Section 2.31.

          2.32. Evidence of Debt. The Loans and other 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
Loans and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders to each 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 each 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.
If any Borrower issues a Note to a

56

 

Lender (which shall occur only upon the request by a Lender to the relevant Borrower made
through the Administrative Agent), such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through
the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments
with respect thereto. In addition to the accounts and records referred to above, each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit, Euro
Swingline Loans 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 Lender in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.

          2.33. Addition of Foreign Borrowers; Termination of Foreign Borrowers.

          (a) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company
to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period (but in no event less than 7 Business Days) as
may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any wholly-owned
Foreign Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Foreign Borrower to
receive Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit J (a “Foreign Borrower Request and Assumption
Agreement”), which shall specify, among other things, the notice address of such Applicant
Borrower and information of the type described in Section 9.16 with respect to the Applicant
Borrower; provided that the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit (shall not exceed $150,000,000; and
provided, further, that no Applicant Borrower shall become a Foreign Borrower hereunder if any
Lender, within 7 Business Days’ of receipt by the Lenders of a Foreign Borrower Request and
Assumption Agreement with respect to such Applicant Borrower, shall determine in good faith that it
is unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its
applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans to such Applicant Borrower or to
participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Applicant Borrower. The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the
credit facilities as a Foreign Borrower as provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of
counsel and other documents or information (including an affirmation of the Company Guarantee by
the Company and the execution of any applicable Issuing Lender Agreement by such Applicant
Borrower), in each case in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, and Notes signed by such new
Foreign Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so request. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions
specified herein, an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans and Letters of Credit as
a Foreign Borrower hereunder, and promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions,
incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative
Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Foreign Borrower
Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant
Borrower shall constitute a Foreign Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders
agrees to permit such Foreign Borrower to receive Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, on the
terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Foreign Borrower
otherwise shall be a Foreign Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that no Loan
notices or Applications may be submitted by or on behalf of such Foreign Borrower until the date
five Business Days after such effective date

          (b) The Obligations of all Foreign Borrowers shall be several in nature. The Obligations of
each of the Foreign Borrowers (including any Foreign Borrower which become a party to

57

 

this Agreement after the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 2.33) shall be
guaranteed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.34 and by each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the
Guarantee.

          (c) Each Foreign Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Foreign Borrower” pursuant to
this Section 2.33 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to
this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of
notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates
contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any
Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Foreign Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent,
direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given
or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given
or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice,
demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the
Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to
each Foreign Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this clause (c), each Foreign Borrower
shall have the right, individually, to request and receive Loans to be made to such Foreign
Borrower and request and have Letters of Credit be issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower
and to make payments in respect thereof, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (d) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 5 Business Days’ notice from the
Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Foreign Borrower’s status as such, provided that there
are no outstanding Loans payable by such Foreign Borrower, or Letters of Credit issued for the
account of such Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Foreign Borrower on account of any Loans
made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Foreign Borrower’s status.

          (e) Reserved.

          (f) In such event that a Foreign Borrower is designated as such or its status as such is
terminated pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.33, the Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized by the parties hereto to amend Schedule 1(a) to include or remove, as the case may be,
each such Foreign Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders an amended
Schedule 1(a).

          2.34. Guarantee by Company of Foreign Obligations.

          (a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and
assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the each Foreign Borrower when due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Foreign Obligations of each
such Foreign Borrower including, without limitation, the Obligations of each Foreign Borrower that
becomes party to this Agreement after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.33. This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Foreign Obligations and the
obligations of each Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have
been satisfied by irrevocable payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding for
the account of any Foreign Borrower and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that
from time to time during the term of this Agreement the Foreign Borrowers, or any of them, may be
free from any Foreign Obligations.

          (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum
liability of the Company hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event

58

 

exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the Company under applicable federal and state
laws relating to the insolvency of debtors. The Company agrees that the Foreign Obligations may at
any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of the Company hereunder without
impairing this guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender hereunder.

          (c) No payment made by any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or
received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Foreign Borrower, any
other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or
appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the
Foreign Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of
the Company under this Section 2.34 which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any
payment made by the Company in respect of the Foreign Obligations or any payment received or
collected from the Company in respect of the Foreign Obligations), remain liable for all Foreign
Obligations up to the maximum liability of the Company under this Section 2.34 until the Foreign
Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding for the account of any
Foreign Borrower and the Commitments are terminated.

          (d) Notwithstanding any payment made by the Company hereunder or any set-off or application of
funds of the Company by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Company shall not be entitled
to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Foreign
Borrower or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Foreign Obligations, nor shall the
Company seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Foreign Borrower or
any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such guarantor, until all amounts owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders by each Foreign Borrower on account of the Foreign Obligations
are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding for the account of any Foreign Borrower
and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Foreign Obligations shall not have been paid in
full, such amount shall be held by the Company in trust for the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Company, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the
Company, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Company (duly
indorsed by the Company to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the
Foreign Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may
determine.

          (e) The Company shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation
of rights against the Company and without notice to or further assent by the Company, any demand
for payment of any of the Foreign Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be
rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Foreign Obligations continued,
and the Foreign Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or
any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from
time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the
Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem
advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time
held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Foreign Obligations may be
sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as
security for the Foreign Obligations or for the guarantee in this Section 2.34 or any property
subject thereto.

59

 

          (f) The Company waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of
any of the Foreign Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 or acceptance of the guarantee
contained in this Section 2.34; the Foreign Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be
deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in
reliance upon, the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34; and all dealings between the Foreign
Borrowers and the Company, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the
other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34. The Company waives diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Foreign
Borrowers with respect to the Foreign Obligations. The Company understands and agrees that the
guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Foreign Obligations or any other collateral
security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to
time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be
asserted by any Foreign Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any
Borrower or such guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or
legal discharge of any Foreign Borrower for the Foreign Obligations (or any of them), or of the
Company under the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against
the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make
a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Foreign
Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee
for the Foreign Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies
or to collect any payments from any Foreign Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to
realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or
any release of any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or
liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express,
implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the
Company. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.

          (g) The guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 shall continue to be effective, or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Foreign
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Foreign Borrower or any guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Foreign Borrower or any
guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

          (h) The Company hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative
Agent without set-off or counterclaim in the relevant currency at the Funding Office.

          (i) The Company acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent
under the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 with respect to any action taken by the
Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option,
right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out
of the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, be

60

 

governed by this Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from
time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Company, the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Company shall not be under any
obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

          2.35. Limitation of Certain Obligations of Foreign Borrowers. Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof, each Foreign Borrower shall only be liable for such Foreign Borrower’s pro
rata share of any fees, any expenses and any indemnification obligations under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the obligation under Sections 2.24, 2.26,
2.29, 9.5 and 9.7 of this Agreement; provided that such Foreign Borrower shall only be liable for
(a) fees under Sections 2.14(c) and (d) in respect of Letters of Credit which arise from Letters of
Credit issued, extended or renewed for the account of such Foreign Borrower, and (b)
indemnification costs under Section 2.26 which arise from Revolving Loans made to such Foreign
Borrower.

          2.36. Cash Collateral.

          (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Lender (i) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any
Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of five days
prior to the Termination Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers
shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all such L/C
Borrowings or L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately
upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender or the
Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an
amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.37(a)(iv) and
any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

          (b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not
constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in a deposit accounts at Bank of
America. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to
(and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders (including the Euro Swingline Lender and the Swingline
Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit
accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant
hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such
Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.36(c). If at any time the Administrative
Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less
than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the
relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide
to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such
deficiency.

          (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash
Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.36 or Sections 2.4 through 2.13, 2.16, 2.17, 2.37
or Section 7 in respect of Letters of Credit, Euro Swingline Loans or Swingline Loans shall be held
and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Euro Swingline Loans or Swingline
Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a
Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the
Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided
for herein.

61

 

          (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting
Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the
applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination
of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following
compliance with Section 9.6(b)(ii)(E))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination
that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by
or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of
Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.36 may be otherwise applied in
accordance with the provisions contained herein), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and
the Issuing Lender, Euro Swingline Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash
Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure
or other obligations.

          2.37. Defaulting Lenders.

          (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting
Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

          (i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set
forth in Section 9.1.

          (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and
including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender, the
Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Euro
Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that
Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan, Euro Swingline Loan or Letter
of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to
fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative
Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in
a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to
fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders,
the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender,
the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result
of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C
Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied
or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the

62

 

Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that
Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or
to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.37(a) (ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

          (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any
facility fee pursuant to Section 2.14(a) for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Extensions of
Credit funded by it and (2) its Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage,
as applicable, of the stated amount of Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline
Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.13,
Section 2.36, or Section 2.37(a)(ii), as applicable (and the Borrowers, as applicable, shall
(A) be required to pay to each of the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Euro
Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure
arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of
such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided
herein.

          (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any
period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the
obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in
Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.4 through
2.13, the “Revolving Percentage” or “Multicurrency Revolving Percentage” of each
non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that
Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if,
at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of
Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline
Loans, as applicable, shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the
Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Extensions of
Credit of that Lender.

          (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender,
Euro Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a
Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent
will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to
be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit,
Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in
accordance with their Revolving Percentages and Multicurrency Revolving Percentages (without giving
effect to Section 2.37(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change
hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

63

 

     To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make
the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each of the Borrowers hereby
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

          3.1. Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2007, June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates,
reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present
fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at
such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
respective fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules
and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the
periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed
therein). No Group Member has any material Guarantee Equivalents, contingent liabilities and
liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments,
including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in
respect of derivatives, except those (a) reflected in the most recent financial statements referred
to in this paragraph, (b) which were incurred after June 30, 2009, in the case of the Company and
its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, (c) that
are obligations (including transaction costs) in connection with this Agreement, or (d) that,
individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period from
June 30, 2009 to and including the date hereof, there has been no Disposition by any Group Member
of any business or property that is material to the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.

          3.2. No Change. Since June 30, 2009, there has been no development or event that has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

          3.4. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party
has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the
extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of,
filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other
Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto.
This Agreement constitutes, and each

64

 

other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at
law).

          3.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any
Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of
their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual
Obligation. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

          3.7. No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its
Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          3.8. Ownership of Property, Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all its other property, in each case necessary and related to its operations, except
for such property where the failure to maintain such title or interest, individually or in the
aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to any
Lien except as permitted by Section 6.3.

          3.9. Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except
where such failure, individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect. No
material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of
any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does
any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except where such claims, individually or
in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by each
Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect, except where
such infringement, individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.10. Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and
other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other
taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority
(other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided on the books of the relevant Group Member) except where the failure to file such returns
and pay such taxes, fees and other charges, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; to the knowledge of any Borrower, no tax Lien has
been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

65

 

          3.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other
extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within
the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time
hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the
Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers 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, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

          3.12. ERISA.

          (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a
qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from
the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue
Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application
for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best
knowledge of the Borrowers, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such
tax-qualified status.

          (b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened claims,
actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction
or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred, and neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate is
aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result
in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan, which in any event has resulted, or could
reasonably be expected to result in, a material liability; (ii) the Borrowers and each ERISA
Affiliate has complied in all material respects with all applicable requirements under the Pension
Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under
the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation
date for any Pension Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section
430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of
any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment
percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date; (iv) neither
the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC, other than for the
payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid, which
in any event has resulted, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material liability; (v)
neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to
Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan has been terminated by the plan
administrator thereof (other than by means of an annuity or other termination that preserves the
Pension Plan’s ability to meet in full its liabilities and obligations to Plan participants as and
when they become due) nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that
could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to
terminate any Pension Plan.

          (d) Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any
unsatisfied obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan
other than (A) on the Closing Date, those listed on Schedule 3.12(d) hereto and (B) thereafter,
Pension Plans not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

66

 

          3.13. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party, any Person
Controlling a Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (a) is or required to be registered as
an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or (b) is a “holding
company” or a “public utility company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any
Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur
Indebtedness.

          3.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit, shall be
used (i) to refinance Indebtedness of the Company under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) for
general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

          3.15. Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.15 or except as, in
the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect:

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

          (b) no Group Member has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation,

notice will be received or is being threatened;

manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

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

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

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

          (g) no Group Member has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws.

67

 

          3.16. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this

as a whole, furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
(other than financial projections) for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information,
document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading,
in each case in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made or information
provided. The projections and pro forma financial information, if any, contained in
the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by
management of the Company to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders
that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from
the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

          3.17. Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all
Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be and will continue to be,
Solvent.

          3.18. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains with financially
sound and reputable insurers (not related to or affiliated with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) insurance with respect to its properties and business and against at least such
liabilities, casualties and contingencies and in at least such types and amounts as is customary in
the case of corporations engaged in the same or a similar business or having similar properties
similarly situated.

          3.19. Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Company in

Subsidiaries that collectively have assets with a total book value or fair market value of more
than $20,000,000 are subject to the events described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above;
or

          (g) (i) an ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has
resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrowers under Title IV of
ERISA to the Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC and such liability could, in the sole
judgment of the Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii)
the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable
grace period, any installment payment with respect to its withdrawal liability under Section 4201
of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan and such failure to pay could, in the sole judgment of the
Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

          (h) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against any Group Member involving in
the aggregate a liability (not paid or fully covered by insurance as to which the relevant
insurance company has acknowledged coverage) of $25,000,000 or more, and all such judgments or
decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days
from the entry thereof; or

          (i) the guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Subsidiary Guarantors which (a) are
designated by the Company as a Significant Subsidiary under clause (c) of the definition of
“Significant Subsidiary” and (b) would not be a Significant Subsidiary absent such designation)
contained in the Guarantee shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect (except (x)
to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged into the Company or another Subsidiary
Guarantor or (y) such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction
permitted by Section 6.10) or any Loan Party shall so assert, or any action at law, suit or in
equity or other legal proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents, shall be
commenced by any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries party thereto, or any court or any
other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction shall make a
determination that, or issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling to the effect that, any one or
more of the Loan Documents is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with the terms
thereof; or

          (j) (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) shall become, or obtain rights
(whether by means or warrants, options or otherwise) to become, the “beneficial owner” (as defined
in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 30% of
the outstanding common stock of the Company; (ii) the board of directors of the Company shall cease
to

79

 

consist of a majority of Continuing Directors or (iii) the Company shall fail to own, directly
or indirectly, 100% of the Capital Stock of each Foreign Borrower (except for directors’ qualifying
shares or other similar nominal ownership interests required by law to be held by a third party);

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or
(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall
immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations,
whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the
documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is
any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the
consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare the Commitments to be
terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the
consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Loans (with
accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and
payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all
Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time
of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a cash
collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn
and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit,
and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of
the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the
balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers (or such other
Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 7,
presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by each
Borrower.

SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          8.1. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent, in such capacity, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents 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 the Borrowers shall not have rights
as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

          8.2. 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

80

 

respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

          8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent, the Joint Book Managers, or any Joint
Lead Arranger nor any of their respective Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Agents, the Joint Book Managers, and the Joint Lead
Arrangers:

          (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 the Required Multicurrency 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 Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

          The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Required Multicurrency 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 9.1 and Section 7) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless
and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled

81

 

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 the Borrowers), 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.

          8.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative
Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the
event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so
specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent
shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

          8.6. 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.

          8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, the Joint Book
Managers and each Co-Arranger in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to
their respective Revolving Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought
under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments
shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such
Revolving Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of
the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent, the Joint Book Managers or
such Co-Arranger in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of
the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent, the Joint
Book Managers or such Co-Arranger under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that
no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Agent’s, Joint Book Manager’s or such Co-Arranger’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

82

 

          8.8. 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 Borrowers 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.

          8.9. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time
give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
the Borrowers, 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, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers 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 Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of
this Article and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent.

          Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender and Euro 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 and Euro Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing
Lender and Swingline Lender and Euro 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 arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring Issuing Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender with
respect to such Letters of Credit.

83

 

          8.10. Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers, or Joint Book
Managers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Syndication Agents,
Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers, or Joint Book Managers listed on the cover page
hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the
Issuing Lender hereunder.

          8.11. Release of Guarantors. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any agreement or execute
any document evidencing the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a
transactions permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the
Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 8.11.

          8.12. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party,
the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Borrowers) 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 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, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders
and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.20 and 9.5) 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 and the Issuing Lenders 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 and the Issuing 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 hereunder.

          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 or the Issuing Lender any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of
any Lender or the Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the
claim of any Lender or the Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.

84

 

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

          9.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant
Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into
written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the
purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on
such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided,
however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i)
forgive (in whole or in part) the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity
of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable
hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase
in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), (y)
that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this
Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this
clause (i), or (z) that any modification or change in the metric for determining fee rates,
applicable margins and Pricing Levels hereunder, including using financial covenants rather than
the Company’s Debt Rating shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for
purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the
amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of
any Lender under this Section 9.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) consent to the
assignment or transfer by any Borrower of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or release, other than as provided in Section 8.11 (in which case such release
of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone), all or
substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee or
release the Company from its obligations under the Company Guaranty without the written consent of
all the Lenders; (iv) add additional currencies as Foreign Currencies in which Multicurrency
Loans may be made under this Agreement without the written consent of all the Multicurrency
Lenders; (v) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the
written consent of all Lenders; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without
the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of

waive any provision of Sections 2.6 through 2.13 inclusive without the written consent of all
Issuing Lenders; (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.23 without the written
consent of each Lender or (x) waive any condition of Section 4.1 without the written consent of

each Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply
equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan
Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and
rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise supplemented without the written consent of
the Lenders or the Required Lenders to increase the amount of the Total Commitments in accordance
with Section 2.15(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall
have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any
amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the

85

 

applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any
Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any
waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that
by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add
one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit
and all related obligations and liabilities arising in connection therewith from time to time
outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably (or on
a subordinated basis to the existing facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in
respect of the existing facilities hereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof
and (b) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the Administrative
Agent and approved by the Required Lenders, the Lenders providing such additional credit facilities
to participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the Required Lenders or
by any other number, percentage or class of Lenders hereunder.

          9.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Lenders shall not be effective until received. The
notice address of any Foreign Borrower becoming a party to this Agreement after the Closing Date
shall be the notice address provided by such Foreign Borrower in the Applicant Borrower Request and
Assumption Agreement delivered pursuant to Section 2.33(a).

          9.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure to exercise and no delay
in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder (including, without limitation, in respect of the Company Guarantee) or under
the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies,
powers and privileges provided by law.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against
the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at
law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the
Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative
Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely
in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the
Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender or
Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any
Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.7 (subject to the terms of
Section 2.23), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on
its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor
Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 7 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of
the preceding proviso and subject to

87

 

Section 2.23, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any
rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

          9.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

          9.5. Costs and Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Costs and Expenses.
Each Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Book Managers
and their Affiliates for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to
the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrowers prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to
be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other
periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay all customary fees
incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Agent,
the Joint Book Managers and each Co-Arranger for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights (i) under this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents and any such other documents, including its rights under this Section, or (ii) in
connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of
such Loans or Letters of Credit, in each case, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel (including the allocated expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the
Administrative Agent, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Agent, the Joint Book
Managers and each Co-Arranger harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all
liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes,
if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any
amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents delivered by a Group Member in
connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.

          (b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify, and hold the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Agent, the
Joint Book Managers and each Co-Arranger and their respective Related Parties (each, an
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, claims,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any other Loan Document and any such other
documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the
operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of
legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan
Party under any Loan Document or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any
Indemnitee with

88

 

respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to
the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its
Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all
rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature,
under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against
any Indemnitee to the extent of the Indemnitee’s liability as an owner (and not as an operator or
arranger under Environmental Laws). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby;
provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with
respect to such damages to the extent such damages are found by a final and nonappealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use
by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended
recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

          (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Lender or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such 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 such Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of
the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.23(f).

          (d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than
10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 9.5 shall be submitted to the Company at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or to such
other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written notice to the
Administrative Agent.

          (e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, the
replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all the other Obligations.

          9.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of
this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender
that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and

89

 

(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in
accordance with this Section 9.6. No assignment by a Lender hereunder shall be made to (i) any
Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) a natural person, (iii) an Assignee for
which it is unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such
Assignee or its applicable lending office(s) to make, maintain or fund Loans to, or to participate
in Letters of Credit issued for the account of, each Foreign Borrower that is a party to this
Agreement at the time of such assignment or (iv) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (iv). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of
this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Multicurrency Subcommitments and the
Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of:

          (A) the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for
an assignment (1) to a Lender, (2) to a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund if such
Lender Affiliate or Approved Fund is a Qualifying Bank, or (3) if any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Person;

          (B) the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender(s), the Swingline Lender, and
the Euro Swingline Lender provided that the consent of the Administrative Agent,
each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender shall not be
required for an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, a Lender Affiliate, or
an Approved Fund; and

          (C) the Issuing Lenders if such assignment increases the obligation of the
assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or
not then outstanding).

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

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitments, the amount of the Commitments of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not
be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Company shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and
members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes
of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

90

 

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (B) shall
not apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans;

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 9.6;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect
to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and the
Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire in the form supplied by the Administrative Agent;

          (D) in the case of an assignment by a Multicurrency Lender of all or a portion
of its Commitment, such assignment must include a ratable assignment of such
Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Subcommitment to the extent that the amount of
its Commitment being assigned is greater than the excess, if any, of the amount of
such Commitment over the amount of such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency
Subcommitment; and

          (E) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until,
in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be
outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations,
or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company
and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously
requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable
assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full
all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and
fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans in accordance with its
Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the
assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in
the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.24, 2.25, 2.26 and 9.5). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this Section 9.6

91

 

shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this
Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers
(and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy
of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding
the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lenders at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire
(unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing
to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1
and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.24, 2.25 and
2.26 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 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
shall be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.24 or 2.25 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 Company’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a
Foreign Lender shall

92

 

not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.25 unless the Company is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Company, to comply with Section 2.25(e) as though it were a Lender.

          (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a
security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (e) Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue
Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this
Section 9.6.

          (f) 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.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a Conduit Lender identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers the option to provide all or any part
of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this
Agreement. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any Conduit Lender nor
the exercise by any Conduit Lender of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise
increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, (ii) no Conduit Lender
shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a
Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the
approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document,
remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan
were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date
that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior debt of any Conduit Lender, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, such Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Conduit Lender may (i) with notice
to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of
a processing fee of $2,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect
to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit Lender.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America
assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.6(b), Bank of America may, (i) upon
30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon 30
days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swingline Lender and/or (iii) upon 30 days’ notice to the

93

 

Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., London Branch may resign as Euro Swingline Lender. In the
event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or as Swingline Lender or as Euro Swingline Lender,
the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender,
Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no
failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of
America as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, or Bank of America, N.A., London
Branch as Euro Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all
the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit
outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations
with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in
respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect
to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline
Loans pursuant to Section 2.5. If Bank of America, N.A. London Branch resigns as Euro Swingline
Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Euro Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with
respect to Euro Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding
Euro Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.5. If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender and
as an Issuing Lender, Bank of America shall also resign as Administrative Agent.

          9.7. Adjustments, Set-off; Pari Passu Treatment. (a) Except to the extent that this
Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a
“Benefited Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall
immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 7, receive any payment of all or part of the
Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section
7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any
other relevant Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other relevant Lender,
such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other relevant Lenders a participating
interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other relevant Lender, or shall
provide such other relevant Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary
to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably
with each of the relevant Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.

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

          (c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender
agrees that it shall be deemed to have, automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of

94

 

Default, purchased from each other Lender a participation in the risk associated with the
Obligations held by such other Lender, so that the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations
held by each Lender shall be equivalent to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Obligations.
Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, made at the request of the Required Lenders, each Lender
that has purchased such participation (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall pay the amount of such
participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender whose Outstanding
Extensions of Credit exceed their Revolving Percentage of the Obligations. Any such participation
may, at the option of such Purchasing Lender, be paid in Dollars or in an applicable Foreign
Currency (the “Funding Currency”) (in an amount equal to the then applicable Dollar
Equivalent or Foreign Currency Equivalent, as applicable, amount of such participation) and such
payment shall be converted by the Administrative Agent at the Exchange Rate into the currency of
the Obligations in which such participation is being purchased. The Borrowers agree to indemnify
each Purchasing Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Purchasing Lender as a result
of entering into any reasonable hedging arrangements between the Funding Currency and the currency
of the Obligations in which such participation is being purchased in connection with the funding of
such participation or as a result of any payment on account of such participation in a currency
other than that funded by the Purchasing Lender.

          (d) Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Person
holding such a participation in the Obligations deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any
and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by
such Borrower to such Person as fully as if such Person had made a Loan directly to such Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

          9.7A. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any
Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to
be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid
to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the Issuing
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share
(without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum
equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the
Issuing Lender under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

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

          9.9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the

95

 

illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.9, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited
by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender,
the Euro Swingline Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be
deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

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

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

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

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

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

               (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected
(A) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar
form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or
at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant
thereto or (B) through any other manner that complies with the Hague Convention on the
Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters;

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

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

96

 

          9.13. Acknowledgements; No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibilities. Each Borrower
hereby acknowledges that:

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

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

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

     In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit
facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection
therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of
any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their
respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Joint Book Managers,
on the other hand, and the Borrowers are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and
accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other
Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in
connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Joint
Book Managers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor,
agent or fiduciary, for any of the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders,
creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Joint
Book Managers has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor
of any Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading
thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any
other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Joint Book Managers
has advised or is currently advising any of the Borrowers or their respective Affiliates on other
matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Joint Book Managers has any obligation to any
of the Borrowers or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv)
the Administrative Agent and the Joint Book Managers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged
in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and
their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary
relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Book Managers have not provided and
will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) and each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Borrower hereby waives and
releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty.

          9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to
keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this
Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall
prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the
Administrative

97

 

Agent, any other Lender or any Lender Affiliate, but in the case of Lender Affiliates, only in
connection with this Agreement and matters related thereto (and not for any other purpose), (b)
subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.14, to any actual or
prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedge Agreement (or any
professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys,
accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, (d) upon the request
or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other
Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if
requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that
has been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any
similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such
Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document. To the extent permitted by law, in the case of all requests, demands, responses or
requirements referenced in clauses (d), (e) and (f), the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the
case may be, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to notify the Borrower with respect to such
request, demand, response or requirement in order to afford the Borrower an opportunity to take
such actions as Borrower deems appropriate to protect such Confidential Information.

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

          9.16. US PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter
defined), the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender, each Issuing Lender and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers
that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies each Borrower (including any Applicant Borrower), which information includes the
name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender or such Issuing Lender, as
applicable, to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly
following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender provide all documentation and other
information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its
ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the Act.

          9.17. TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS. (a) On the Closing Date, this Agreement shall
supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 9.17.
On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit
Agreement shall be evidenced by this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
Designated Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender for the account of the Company prior to
the Closing Date shall be converted into Letters of Credit under this Credit Agreement. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent reserve all of their rights under the Existing Credit Agreement and the
Company hereby obligates itself again in respect of all present and future Obligations under, inter
alia, the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by this Credit Agreement.

          (b) All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing under or in respect of the
Existing Credit Agreement through the Closing Date shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (pro
rated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date. Commencing on
the

98

 

Closing Date, the facility fee hereunder shall be payable by the Company to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14.

SCHEDULE 1(a)

Foreign Borrowers and Aggregate Foreign Sublimit

FOREIGN BORROWER

Kennametal Europe GmbH

AGGREGATE FOREIGN SUBLIMIT

$150,000,000

 

Schedule 1(b)

MANDATORY COST FORMULAE

	1.	 	The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to
compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

	 	(a)	 	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority
(or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions);
or
	 
	 	(b)	 	the requirements of the European Central Bank.

	2.	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the
Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost
Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory
Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’
Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender
in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The
Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company
or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory
Cost.
	 
	3.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating
Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This
percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be
its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s
participation in all Loans made from such Lending Office) of complying with the minimum
reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending
Office.
	 
	4.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom
will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

	 	(a)	 	in relation to any Loan in Sterling:

	 	 	 	 

	 	AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01

	 	per cent per annum
	 	100 — (A+C)
	 

	 	(b)	 	in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling:

	 	 	 	 

	 	E x 0.01

	 	per cent per annum
	 	300
	 

Where:

	 	“A” 	 	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of
any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as

Schedule 1(b)

Page 1

 

 

	 	 	 	an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash
ratio requirements.
	 
	 	“B” 	 	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the applicable rate as determined
by the Pricing Grid, the Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts
pursuant to Section 2.20(e) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue
amounts) charged at the interest rate set forth in Section 2.20(e), without counting
any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of such interest rate) payable
for the relevant Interest Period of such Loan.
	 
	 	“C” 	 	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is
required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the
Bank of England.
	 
	 	“D” 	 	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the
Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	 
	 	“E” 	 	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and
is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates
of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph
7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

	5.	 	For the purposes of this Schedule:

	 	(a)	 	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings
given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or
(as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	 
	 	(b)	 	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA
Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time
in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	 
	 	(c)	 	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under
the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee
required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount
rate); and
	 
	 	(d)	 	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Rules.

	6.	 	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as
percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result
obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be
rounded to four decimal places.

	7.	 	If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company, each Lender with a Lending Office in
the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after
publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the

 Schedule 1(b)

Page 2

 

 

	 	 	Administrative Agent and the Company, the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the
Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial
year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as
being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and
expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.
	 
	8.	 	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose
of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender
shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes
a Lender:

	 	(a)	 	the jurisdiction of the Lending Office out of which it is making available its
participation in the relevant Loan; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for
such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the
information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

	9.	 	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of
each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based
upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and
on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary,
each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same
as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the
same jurisdiction as its Lending Office.
	 
	10.	 	The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results
in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled
to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3,
7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
	 
	11.	 	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the
Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based
on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and
8 above.
	 
	12.	 	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a
formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
	 
	13.	 	The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the
Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to
this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from
time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European
Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which

Schedule 1(b)

Page 3

 

 

	 	 	replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

June 25, 2010

	 	 	Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

     and

	 	 	The Lenders listed on Schedule I hereto which are parties to the Credit Agreement on the date hereof

	 	Re: 	 	Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 25, 2010 (the
“Credit Agreement”) among Kennametal Inc. (the “Company”), Kennametal
Europe GmbH, the Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”);
Bank of America, N.A., London Branch (as “Euro Swingline Lender”); PNC Bank,
National Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as “Co-Syndication

Administrative Agent (the “Agent”)(the Co-Syndication Agents,
Co-Documentation Agents, the Lenders and the Agent being referred to collectively
herein as the “Lender Parties”).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to the Company and the subsidiaries of the Company named on
Schedule II attached hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the
“Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors being referred to herein
collectively as the “Credit Parties” and each, individually, as a “Credit Party”)
in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the following documents:

	 	(a)	 	the Credit Agreement;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the Notes delivered to certain of the Lenders on the date hereof; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	the Guarantee.

     The documents described in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) are collectively referred to
herein as the “Credit Documents.” Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. This
opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of the Credit Agreement.

	 	 	In connection with this opinion, we have examined:

	A.	 	the Credit Agreement, signed by the Company, Kennametal Europe GmbH (“Kennametal
Europe”), the Lenders, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and the
Agent; and

	B.	 	each other Credit Document, signed by each Credit Party party thereto.

     In connection with this opinion, we have also examined originals, photocopies of originals or
certified copies of certain records, and all such agreements, communications and other instruments,
certificates of public officials, certain other certificates and such other documents, records and
instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for our opinion herein, including
execution forms of the Credit Documents. We have also reviewed such matters of law as we have
considered relevant for the purposes of this opinion.

     In our examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all such documents submitted to us as
originals, the genuineness of all signatures on such documents submitted to us as originals (other
than those on behalf of the Credit Parties), the legal capacity of natural persons signing such
documents, and the conformity to the originals of all copies submitted to us as certified,
conformed or copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, and we have relied upon
the aforesaid documents with respect to the accuracy of material factual matters contained therein.
As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied, without independent
investigation or verification, upon certificates of officers and other representatives of the
Credit Parties and certificates of public officials.

     We have also assumed, without verification, for purposes of this opinion, the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents by the parties thereto other than the
Credit Parties and that the Credit Documents constitute or will constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the parties to the Credit Documents (other than the Credit Parties), enforceable
against the parties to the Credit Documents (other than the Credit Parties and Kennametal Europe)
in accordance with their terms.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations set
forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

	1.	 	Each of the Credit Parties (a) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
corporation in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, (b) has the
corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of
the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and (c) has duly authorized, executed and
delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party.

	2.	 	The execution and delivery by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a
party, and borrowings with respect to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Documents and performance of its payment obligations thereunder (a) will not result
in any violation of (1) the Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Incorporation or
By-Laws of such Credit Party, and (2) assuming that proceeds of borrowings will be used in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, any federal, New York or Pennsylvania
statute or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any New York, Pennsylvania or federal
statute or any order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body, and (b)
will not breach or result in a default under any material contract listed on Schedule
III hereto (collectively, the “Material Agreements”) or result in the creation
of any lien upon or security interest in the Credit Parties’ properties.

	3.	 	No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with
any federal, New York or Pennsylvania governmental agency or body is required for the
execution and delivery by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, the
borrowings by any Credit Party in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or the
performance by the Credit Parties of their respective payment obligations under the Credit
Documents.

	4.	 	Assuming that each of the Credit Documents is a valid and legally binding obligation of
Kennametal Europe and each of the other parties thereto (other than the Credit Parties), each
Credit Document constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each Credit Party
which is a party thereto, and is enforceable against such Credit Party and Kennametal Europe
in accordance with its terms.

	5.	 	To our knowledge, without any independent searches of court dockets,

(i) there is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, arbitrator or
governmental agency, body or official, now pending, to which any Credit Party is a
party or to which the business, assets or property of any Credit Party is subject,
and

(ii) no such action, suit or proceeding is threatened to which any Credit Party or
the business, assets or property of any Credit Party would be subject,

	 	 	that, in each case, questions the validity of any of the Credit Documents.

	6.	 	No Credit Party is (a) an “investment company” within the meaning of and subject to
regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) a “holding company,”
or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” within the meaning of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended.

	7.	 	Assuming that the Company will comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to
the use of proceeds, the execution and delivery of the Notes by the Company
and the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws from time to time in
effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles
(whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law or in a bankruptcy proceeding), and (iii)
an assumption that the Lender Parties will act in good faith, and with fair dealing and commercial
reasonableness, in exercising their rights and remedies thereunder.

     In addition to the qualifications set forth above, the foregoing opinions are subject to the
following qualifications:

	 	(a)	 	We express no opinion on the enforceability under certain
circumstances of provisions of the Credit Documents (i) which waive any rights
afforded to any party thereto under any statute or constitutional provision or
any public policy, (ii) that purport to prevent oral modification or waivers,
(iii) that broadly purport to ratify unknown actions of the Lender Parties or
any of them prior to said actions having been taken, (iv) the breach of which a
court concludes is not material or does not adversely affect the Lender Parties
or any of them, or (v) that provide that rights or remedies are not exclusive,
that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or
with any other right or remedy, or that the election of some remedy or remedies
does not preclude recourse to one or more other remedies;
	 
	 	(b)	 	The enforceability of certain of the remedies, waivers and
other provisions of the Credit Documents may be further subject to the exercise
of judicial discretion;
	 
	 	(c)	 	We express no opinion on the enforceability of setoff rights
set forth in the Credit Documents against assets in or against which another
party has a perfected security interest or other Lien;
	 
	 	(d)	 	The provisions regarding the remedies available to you on
default as set forth in the Credit Documents are subject to certain procedural
requirements and applicable constitutional, legislative, judicial and
administrative provisions, statutes, regulations, decisions, rulings and other
laws, which are not reflected in the Credit Agreement. These procedural
requirements and other laws affect and may restrict rights and

 

 

Bank of America, N.A. and lenders

June 25, 2010

Page - 5 -

	 	 	 	remedies stated
to be available to you, but such procedural requirements and other laws would
not, in our view, deprive you of the economic and
substantive and legal benefit of the rights provided thereby;
	 
	 	(e)	 	For purposes of the opinion in paragraph 2(a)(2), we have
considered only such laws and regulations that in our experience are typically
applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Credit Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to
federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations;
	 
	 	(f)	 	We express no opinion with respect to the statutes, ordinances,
administrative decisions, rules and regulations of counties, towns,
municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled
through legislative action at the federal, state or regional level) and
judicial decisions to the extent that they deal with any of the foregoing;
	 
	 	(g)	 	Our opinion is subject to judicial decisions which indicate
that public policy may render unenforceable provisions respecting payment of
unreasonable costs and expenses of enforcement, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees;
	 
	 	(h)	 	We express no opinion on the enforceability of any provision in
the Credit Documents that purport to (i) preclude the modification of the
Credit Documents through conduct, custom, or course of performance, action or
dealing, or (ii) waive or limit lender liability for negligent acts or
omissions;
	 
	 	(i)	 	We express no opinion as to (i) the effect on the
enforceability of the Credit Documents of any agreement by and among the
Lenders or the Lenders, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents
and the Agent which imposes limitations on the rights and benefits of
individual Lenders under the Credit Documents, or (ii) compliance with
fiduciary duty requirements;
	 
	 	(j)	 	We express no opinion on the enforceability of any provisions
in the Credit Documents relating to conflicts of law, consent to jurisdiction,
choice of forum or choice of law;
	 
	 	(k)	 	We express no opinion on the enforceability of any provision of
the Credit Documents (i) granting or creating rights not available under New
York or Pennsylvania law relating to self-help or imposing penalties or
forfeitures

 

 

Bank of America, N.A. and lenders

	 	 	 	including, without limitation, increased rates and late payment
charges upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of a default should the
same be characterized as penalties or forfeitures, or (ii) purporting to
limit rights of third parties who have not consented thereto or purporting
to grant rights to third parties;
	 
	 	(l)	 	We express no opinion with respect to the effect of any
provision of the Credit Documents insofar as it provides that any Person
purchasing a participation from a Lender or other Person may exercise set-off
or similar rights with respect to such participation or that any Lender or
other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance
with applicable law;
	 
	 	(m)	 	We express no opinion on the validity or enforceability of any
provisions of the Credit Documents under which any party thereto disclaims any
obligations of good faith, fair dealing, diligence, commercial reasonableness
and/or care, or prior notice which are prescribed by the Uniform Commercial
Code in effect in the State of New York as of the date hereof;
	 
	 	(n)	 	We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any rights to
contribution, indemnification or exculpation provided for in the Credit
Documents which are violative of public policy underlying any law, rule or
regulation (including federal securities law, rule or regulation); and
	 
	 	(o)	 	With respect to the opinion given regarding Kennametal Europe
in paragraph (4) above, in addition to the same assumptions and qualifications
set forth in this opinion with respect to the Credit Parties and to the
assumption set forth in paragraph (4) above regarding Kennametal Europe, (1) we
have assumed, in addition to the Credit Documents to which it is a party being
valid and binding obligations of Kennametal Europe, that Kennametal Europe (w)
has been duly formed and is validly existing under its jurisdiction of
formation, (x) has all necessary corporate or other power to enter into such
Credit Documents, (y) has taken all necessary corporate or other action to duly
authorize such Credit Documents in accordance with any and all applicable laws,
rules or regulations, and (z) has duly executed and delivered such Credit
Documents in accordance with any and all applicable laws, rules or regulations,
(2) we have assumed that there are no applicable laws, rules or regulations
(excluding New York or federal law) of jurisdictions which would provide
Kennametal Europe with a defense against enforceability of the Credit Documents
to which it is a party, and (3) we do not represent

	 	 	 	Kennametal Europe and have
neither performed any procedures to verify assumptions regarding it nor engaged
in any due diligence regarding it.

     We express no opinion as to financial statements (including any schedules and notes thereto)
or any other financial, accounting or statistical data or calculations or tests or securities
filings directly or indirectly included or referenced in, delivered pursuant to or related to the
Credit Documents or any other document.

     The phrase “to our knowledge” or words of similar import, as used herein with respect to the
existence or absence of facts means that during the course of our representation of the Credit
Parties, no information that would give us current actual knowledge of the existence or absence of
such facts has come to the attention of the attorneys of this firm giving substantive legal
services to the Credit Parties. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine
the existence or absence of such facts. No inference as to our knowledge of the existence or
absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our engagement as counsel to the Credit
Parties generally.

     We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the laws of the State of
New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the federal laws of the United States and the Delaware
General Corporation Law as they currently exist.

     This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the above described transactions. This
opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished
to, any other person, firm, corporation or governmental agency without our prior written consent;
provided that you may disclose this opinion letter to your permitted participants in, and
permitted assignees of, the Credit Documents and their counsel, and such persons may rely upon this
opinion letter.

     This opinion is issued as of the date hereof and is necessarily limited to the laws now in
effect and the facts and circumstances known to the undersigned on the date hereof. We are not
assuming any obligation to review or update this opinion should applicable law or the existing
facts or circumstances change.

Registered with the Attorneys’ Registry

 

 

	1.4	 	a copy of the articles of incorporation of the Company, dated August 9, 2005 and certified
on June 17, 2010 (Articles of Incorporation).

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given by the Credit Agreement.
The terms “known to us” and “to our knowledge” as used herein refer to such lawyers of our firm
only who have been involved in rendering legal services to the Company, i.e. Oliver Blum and Kaspar
Landolt.

	2.	 	Assumptions

For the purposes of this opinion, we have without further inquiry assumed:

	2.1	 	that all parties to the Credit Agreement other than the Company are validly existing and duly
organized under the laws applicable to such legal entities;
	 
	2.2	 	the genuineness of all signatures on, and the authenticity, correctness and completeness of,
each Document and all Documents as a whole as of the date hereof, including facsimile and
electronic copies;
	 
	2.3	 	the legal capacity of the individuals whose signatures appear on the Documents;
	 
	2.4	 	the lack of defects of intention (Willensmängel) on the part of the parties to the Agreement;
	 
	2.5	 	to the extent applicable, that the Documents have been duly authorised, executed and
delivered by each of the parties thereto in accordance with all applicable laws (other than
the laws of Switzerland);
	 
	2.6	 	that the Credit Agreement and each of the Notes constitutes legal, valid and binding
obligations of each of the parties thereto enforceable under all applicable laws (other than
the laws of Switzerland);
	 
	2.7	 	that each party to the Credit Agreement (other than the Company) is generally subject to
civil and commercial law and to legal proceedings and none of those parties or any of their
assets or revenues is entitled to any immunity or privilege (sovereign or otherwise) from any
jurisdiction, service of process, judgment, execution, set-off, attachment or other legal
process;
	 
	2.8	 	that all acts are performed (and any acts required by the Credit Agreement not to be done are
not performed) and all conditions are satisfied in each case in accordance with the terms of
the Credit Agreement and in accordance with the applicable laws;

- 2 -

 

	2.9	 	that the parties have obtained and will obtain at the appropriate time and will maintain in
force any approval, consent or authorisation and will make all filings and registrations
required in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the transactions contemplated
by the Credit Agreement and the Notes under any laws (other than the laws of Switzerland);
	 
	2.10	 	that the transactions contemplated in the Credit Agreement and the Notes are entered into for
bona fide commercial reasons, constitute at arm’s length transactions and are made for
adequate compensation; and
	 
	2.11	 	that the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the Notes, which are
governed by the law of the State of New York on which we cannot judge, are several and not
joint and that, consequently, the Company is not liable for the obligations of any other
Borrower under the Credit Agreement or the Notes (no up-stream or cross-stream obligations).

	3.	 	Opinion

Based upon, in reliance on and subject to the Documents and the comments, assumptions,
qualifications, exceptions and limitations set out herein and subject to any factual matters,
documents or events not disclosed to us by the parties concerned, having regard to such legal
considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

	3.1	 	The Company is a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) duly
organized, validly existing and registered in the commercial register of the Canton of
Schaffhausen in accordance with the laws of Switzerland.
	 
	3.2	 	The Company has the requisite corporate power and capacity to enter into and perform the
Credit Agreement and the Notes.
	 
	3.3	 	The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly authorized and executed by the Company.
	 
	3.4	 	The execution by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes, and borrowings of the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Notes and performance of
its payment obligations thereunder (a) will not violate (i) any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation, or (ii) any laws of Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof or any
order known to us issued by any court or governmental agency or body, and (b) will not breach
or result in a default under any material contract known to us entered into by the Company.

- 3 -

 

	3.5	 	The execution and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes do not
require notarization or any authorization, approval or consent of, or filing or registration
with, any government authority of Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof.
	 
	3.6	 	To our knowledge, without any independent searches of court dockets, debt collection
registers and any other sources,

	 	3.6.1.	 	there is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, arbitrator or
governmental agency, body or official, now pending, to which the Company is a party or
to which the business, assets or property of the Company is subject, and
	 
	 	3.6.2.	 	no such action, suit or proceeding is threatened to which the Company or the
business, assets or property of the Company would be subject,

	 	 	that in each case questions the validity of the Credit Agreement or the Notes.
	 
	3.7	 	Under Swiss law, (a) no stamp, registration or other documentary tax of any kind imposed by
any government authorities in Switzerland is payable in respect of the execution, performance
or enforcement of the Credit Agreement and the Notes and (b) interest payments under the
Credit Agreement and the Notes are not subject to any Swiss taxes requiring any deduction or
withholding by the Company, if, and as long as, (i) not more than ten lenders who are not
Qualifying Banks participate in the Credit Agreement and/or the Notes (directly or indirectly
through sub-participation), (ii) during the term of the Credit Agreement and/or the Notes the
Company does not have more than ten creditors extending interest-bearing credit to it who are
not Qualifying Banks, (iii) none of the aforesaid lenders or creditors are affiliates of the
Company, and (iv) the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and/or the Notes
are not secured by securities over Swiss real estate. For purposes of this clause 3.7, the
term Qualifying Banks shall mean any Swiss or foreign financial institution acting for its own
account which (a) qualifies as a bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction where its
office is located, in which it books the loan under the Credit Agreement, and which carries on
a genuine banking activity as per explanatory notes of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration
no. S-02.128 (1.2000), S-02.122.1 (4.1999) and S-02.123 (9.1986) as amended from time to time,
and (b) has its tax domicile in a jurisdiction which has entered into a double taxation treaty
with Switzerland providing for a full exemption of tax imposed on interests.
	 
	3.8	 	The laws of Switzerland do not require any of the Lenders to book or fund its Loan in
Switzerland or prevent any of the Lenders from booking or funding its Loan in or from any
other jurisdiction, including the United States of America.

- 4 - 

 

	3.9	 	The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the law governing the Credit Agreement and
the Notes is valid under the relevant rules of the Swiss Private International Law Statute
(PILS) and will be recognised by Swiss courts.
	 
	3.10	 	A final judgement against the Company in respect of the Credit Agreement and/or the Notes
duly obtained in competent courts of the State of New York or the competent courts of the
United States for the Southern District of New York will be recognised and enforceable in
Switzerland in accordance with and subject to the rules of art. 25 et seq. PILS, without a
retrial on the merits.
	 
	4.	 	Qualifications

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications, each of which is separate and not limited
by any other qualification or other statements herein, even if such qualifications and statements
partly or fully deal with the same subject matter:

	4.1	 	We express no opinion with regard to the correctness or completeness of any representation
made by any party under the Credit Agreement.
	 
	4.2	 	Where the Credit Agreement vests a party with discretion or the right to determine a matter
or amount in its opinion, Swiss law will require that such discretion is exercised reasonably
and that such opinion is based upon reasonable grounds, and in each case with reference to
facts and circumstances not under the control of such party (e.g. market quotes).
	 
	4.3	 	The maximum interest rate which may be validly agreed upon under Swiss law is limited by art.
20 (nullity) and art. 21 (overreaching) of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO), whereby the
term “interest” comprises commissions, fees and other charges as well as costs other than true
expenses of the lender in favour of the borrower. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court held that an
interest rate of 26% p.a. was excessive under art. 20 CO, while it regarded a rate of 18% p.a.
to be in line with the law. Legal authors have taken the position that the maximum rate
permitted under art. 20 and 21 CO, as a rule, must not exceed 18% p.a., provided, however,
that specific circumstances, such as in particular specific risks, may justify higher interest
rates.
	 
	4.4	 	The effectiveness of a choice of law clause is limited by the following PILS rules:

	 	4.4.1.	 	a Swiss court must establish the content of the applicable foreign law ex officio.
However, the court may request the collaboration of the parties and, in commercial
matters, the proof of the applicable foreign law may

- 5 - 

 

	 	 	 	be imposed on them. If the content of the foreign law is not ascertainable, the
court will apply Swiss law (Art. 16 PILS);

	 	4.4.2.	 	a Swiss court may refuse to give effect to any foreign law provision if such
provision is inconsistent with Swiss public policy (Art. 17 PILS);
	 
	 	4.4.3.	 	a Swiss court would further be bound to apply such provisions of Swiss law which, in
view of their special relevance for public policy, must be applied without regard to
the choice of law (“lois d’application immédiate”, Art. 18 PILS); and
	 
	 	4.4.4.	 	in lieu of the law chosen by the parties, a Swiss court may take into account
mandatory provisions of another foreign law if legitimate and evidently overriding
interests of one party so require and the matter has a close nexus to such other law
(Art. 19 PILS).

	4.5	 	The recognition and enforcement of a foreign judgement in Switzerland is subject to the
following PILS rules:

	 	4.5.1.	 	a Swiss court may refuse to give effect to any foreign judgement if such judgement
is inconsistent with Swiss public policy (art. 27 para. 1 PILS);
	 
	 	4.5.2.	 	a Swiss court may refuse to give effect to any foreign judgement if a party to such
judgement can establish

	 	a)	 	that under the laws of its domicile such party had not
received proper service of process (art. 27 para. 2 lit. a PILS);
	 
	 	b)	 	that the judgement was rendered in violation of fundamental
principles of Swiss procedural law, in particular the right to be heard (art.
27 para. 2 lit. b PILS); or
	 
	 	c)	 	that a lawsuit between the same parties concerning the same
case was first initiated in Switzerland or first decided in a third country,
provided the requirements for the recognition of such decision are met (art.
27 para. 2 lit. c PILS).

	4.6	 	Clause 9.12(iii) of the Credit Agreement whereby the Company agrees to service of process by
mailing a copy of actions or proceedings by registered or certified mail or any substantially
similar form of mail at its address set forth in clause 9.2 of the Credit Agreement or at such
other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified and the analogous
provision in the second-last paragraph of the Notes are not valid from a Swiss law perspective
to the effect

- 6 - 

 

	 	 	  that a foreign judgment rendered based on such service of process will not be recognised
and enforceable in Switzerland.

	4.7	 	There is a remote risk which cannot entirely be excluded that a Swiss court would declare an
irrevocable appointment of an agent for service of process as per clause 2.33(c) of the Credit
Agreement to be inconsistent with Swiss public policy and, thus, would recognize a revocation
without regard to a New York State law provision stating otherwise.
	 
	4.8	 	Article 14 of the Swiss Withholding Tax Law provides that an agreement contradictory to the
mandatory requirement that withholding taxes must be charged to the recipient of a taxable
payment (such as interest, dividends etc.) is void. While no binding court decisions or
rulings dealing with the issue exist, legal scholars have expressed the opinion that tax
gross-up agreements fall under this statutory rule. Any tax gross-up provisions contained in
the Credit Agreement, such as in particular in clause 2.25(a) of the Credit Agreement, may,
therefore, not be enforceable against the Company.
	 
	4.9	 	Swiss law restricts the parties’ right to provide for specific contractual rules with respect
to evidence. The parties provided for rules on evidence, inter alia, in clause 2.32 of the
Credit Agreement. A Swiss court where a claim is filed against the Company is likely to
disregard such clauses. Further, there is a risk that a foreign judgment obtained against the
Company based on such clauses may not be recognised and enforced in Switzerland.
	 
	4.10	 	Under Swiss law, the granting of guarantees, securities, indemnifications or the like for
obligations of affiliates (“upstream and cross-stream undertakings”) by a Swiss company at
non-arm’s length terms and payments of a Swiss company under such undertakings are deemed
dividend distributions subject to the applicable rules of Swiss corporate law. As a
consequence, any such payments may only be made out of the freely distributable balance sheet
reserves of the relevant Swiss company. Further, since clear statutory rules and case law
dealing with the issue of upstream and cross-stream undertakings do not exist in Switzerland,
the entering into the upstream and cross-stream undertakings as well as each single payment
thereunder may require the approval of the shareholders’ meeting of the relevant Swiss
company. Finally, the articles of incorporation of the Swiss company may have to explicitly
set forth that the Swiss company is permitted to enter into upstream and cross-stream
undertakings. In the case at issue, the Articles of Incorporation do not set forth that the
Company is permitted to enter into upstream and cross-stream undertakings. Moreover, in spite
of the limitations pursuant to clause 2.35 of the Credit Agreement, it cannot be excluded that
some

- 7 - 

 

	 	 	  obligations of the Company qualify as upstream or cross-stream undertakings. Accordingly,
there is a risk that such obligations are null   and void.

	4.11	 	Upstream and cross-stream undertakings granted at non-arm’s length terms are also treated as
dividend distributions for tax purposes. Therefore, there is a risk that the Company may
become subject to Swiss withholding tax of up to 53.8% of (i) the amount of a guarantee or
similar fee customarily paid to a guarantor under similar circumstances, (ii) the amounts paid
under the upstream and cross-stream undertakings (if any), and (iii) if at the time of the
grant of the upstream and cross-stream undertakings it was foreseeable that the affiliate for
whose obligations the upstream and cross-stream undertakings have been granted might become
insolvent, the entire amount of the upstream and cross-stream undertakings. Further, for
income tax purposes, (i) the amount of an adequate guarantee or similar fee may be deemed
profit of the Company, (ii) payments under the upstream and cross-stream undertakings may not
be admissible as deductible business expenses, and (iii) any provisions made in respect of the
upstream and cross-stream undertakings may be disregarded.
	 
	4.12	 	The opinions expressed herein may be affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
avoidance, liquidation, arrangement, moratorium, or other similar laws of general application
to which the parties to the Credit Agreement are or may become subject.
	 
	4.13	 	Claims brought by the bankruptcy or composition administration of a foreign creditor are only
enforceable to a limited extent in Switzerland in accordance with art. 166 et seq. PILS.
	 
	4.14	 	The enforcement of a claim or of a final court decision against the Company under the Credit
Agreement and the Notes may be affected by the expiry of a statute of limitations period or by
defences of set-off or counterclaim.
	 
	4.15	 	In order to be enforceable in debt enforcement proceedings (Betreibungsverfahren) in
Switzerland a money claim must be converted into Swiss Francs (Art. 67 para. 1 section 3 of
the Swiss Federal Statute on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy).
	 
	4.16	 	There is a risk, which cannot be entirely excluded, that the documents set forth in clauses
1.3 and 1.4 above do not reflect that, in respect of the Company, (i) a voluntary winding-up
resolution has been passed, (ii) a petition has been presented or order made by a court for
the bankruptcy or moratorium, or (iii) a bankruptcy administrator, commissioner, liquidator or
similar officer administering insolvency proceedings has been appointed. To our knowledge and
after having inquired with the President and Managing Director of the Company, we are

- 8 - 

 

	 	 	not aware of any such resolutions being passed, such petitions being presented, or such
orders or appointments being made.

	4.17	 	The term “enforceable” when used in this opinion means that such obligation is of a type and
form generally enforced by the Swiss courts. It does not mean that those obligations will
necessarily be enforced in accordance with their terms and conditions or by or against third
parties or in foreign jurisdictions in all circumstances throughout the duration of the Credit
Agreement or the Notes. Nor does it mean that any particular remedy will be available or that
a party will, or will be able to, comply with or satisfy any judgment, order or award that may
be entered or made against it.
	 
	4.18	 	Under the doctrine of clausula rebus sic stantibus, a court may amend, terminate or rescind
an agreement upon request of a party thereto, if relevant circumstances have unexpectedly
changed to an extent so that the requesting party cannot in good faith be expected to adhere
to the unchanged agreement.
	 
	4.19	 	In this opinion, Swiss legal concepts, actions, remedies and legal documents are referred to
in English terms and not in their original Swiss language terms. Such terms are used herein
exclusively in the Swiss legal context and may have a meaning different from the meaning of
the same English terms as they are used in the context of foreign laws.
	 
	4.20	 	To the extent that the entering into, or the settlement of, payment obligations is in breach
of the currency exchange regulations of a country that is a member of the International
Monetary Fund, these obligations may not be enforceable in Switzerland (Art. VIII para. 2 lit.
b IMF Agreement).
	 
	4.21	 	Unless expressly set forth herein otherwise, we express no opinion with regard to tax
matters.
	 
	4.22	 	Under Swiss law, contractual severability provisions are valid only if the contract at issue
is capable of surviving as a valid agreement without the invalid clauses.
	 
	4.23	 	Swiss courts do not consider themselves bound by provisions stating that an agreement may
only be amended in writing.

	5.	 	Limitations

or interpreted by the relevant legal scholars at the date hereof. We have

provided that this opinion may be disclosed to, but not relied upon by, counsel of such persons.
This opinion may not be quoted or referred to in any public document or filed with any government
authority or other person, without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

developments after the date hereof, respectively, with regard to the Documents, after their dates.

This opinion is given by CMS von Erlach Henrici Ltd, which is a legal entity, incorporated and
registered in Switzerland, but not by or on behalf of any other CMS law firm. CMS von Erlach
Henrici Ltd assumes liability, and is responsible, for this opinion. No individual is liable to any

FORM OF ISSUING LENDER AGREEMENT

          ISSUING LENDER AGREEMENT dated as of                      ___, 20[___] among the Borrowers (as
defined below), [NAME OF ISSUING LENDER], as Issuing Lender (in such capacity, the “Issuing
Lender”), and the Administrative Agent (as defined below) for the lenders (the
“Lenders”) from time to time party to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of June 25, 2010 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein are used herein

          The parties hereto have entered into this Issuing Lender Agreement (this “Agreement”)
in connection with the Credit Agreement.

          Section 1. Designation as Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender is hereby
designated as an “Issuing Lender” as contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Issuing Lender
agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, to become
an Issuing Lender under the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Issuing Lender agrees to issue
and deliver or to extend the expiry of Letters of Credit and to act as Issuing Lender with respect
to the Designated Letters of Credit specified on Schedule 1 hereto for the account of the Borrowers
in an aggregate undrawn amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed $____________.

          Section 2. Letters of Credit. On the terms and conditions set forth in the
Credit Agreement and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit
Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees, at any time and from time to time, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement, to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to the
procedures set forth in Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement. The Issuing Lender agrees that it
shall comply with the obligations applicable to an Issuing Lender under the Credit Agreement,

Agent of the matters specified in Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement.

          Section 3. Obligation to Reimburse. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse each
Issuing Lender all amounts required to pay all drafts presented under Letters of Credit in

          Section 4. Payment of Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay the fees on all
outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement and the
applicable Fee Letter among the Company, the Issuing Lender and the other parties thereto,
including for the account of the Issuing Lender a fronting fee per annum as set forth in the Fee
Letter on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender, payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the Issuance Date. In addition,

 

 

the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for customary administrative, issuance,
amendment, payment and negotiation charges incurred by such Issuing Lender.

          Section 5. Standby and Documentary Credit Practices. Each Borrower agrees
that, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower
prior to the Issuing Lender’s issuance of any Letter of Credit, to the extent applicable, (i) the
rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International
Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each trade Letter of Credit, and, in
each case, such rules are incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed a part hereof and
shall apply to the Letters of Credit and to this Agreement.

          Section 6. Obligations Absolute. As and to the extent set forth in Section
2.10 of the Credit Agreement, the obligation of the Borrowers to pay the amounts referred to above
in Sections 3 and 4 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be satisfied
strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Agreement.

          Section 7. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be
given as provided in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement.

          Section 8. Binding Agreement: Assignments. This Agreement and the terms,
covenants and conditions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Borrowers nor the Issuing Lender shall
be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of
the other parties to this Agreement.

          Section 9. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE WITHIN SUCH
STATE.

          Section 10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall
constitute but one contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission shall be effective as deliver of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          Section 11. Interpretation. To the extent that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement conflict with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement shall control.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Issuing Lender Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.

     THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTEE, dated as of                      ___, 20[___], made by each of
the corporations that are signatories hereto (the “Guarantors”), in favor of BANK OF
AMERICA, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for
the lenders (the “Lenders”) parties to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
dated as of June 25, 2010 (as it may hereafter be amended, modified, extended or restated from time
to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Kennametal Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the
“Company”) and the other Borrowers party thereto, the Lenders from time to time parties
thereto, Bank of America, N.A., London Branch, as Euro Swingline Lender, PNC Bank, National
Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania
and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Company as co-documentation agents, Bank of America, N.A.,
as the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto.

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans and
other extensions of credit to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
therein;

     WHEREAS, the Borrowers are members of an affiliated group of Persons that includes each
Guarantor;

     WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors has guaranteed the Company’s obligations to the administrative
agent and lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Second Amended
and Restated Guarantee, dated as of March 21, 2006 (the “Existing Guarantee”) made by
certain of the Guarantors in favor of the administrative agent under the Existing Credit Agreement;

     WHEREAS, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by the
Credit Agreement as set forth therein and shall remain in full force and effect only as set forth
therein;

     WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors wishes to continue to guarantee (or, in the case of any
Guarantor hereunder which is not a party to the Existing Guarantee, to guarantee), jointly and
severally, absolutely and unconditionally, the payment and performance of the Borrowers’
obligations to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under or in respect of the Credit
Agreement as provided herein;

     WHEREAS, the proceeds of the extensions of credit will be used in part to enable the Borrowers
to make valuable transfers (as determined as provided herein) to each Guarantor in connection with
the operation of its business;

     WHEREAS, the Company, the other Borrowers and the Guarantors are engaged in related
businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making
of the extensions of credit;

     WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors party to the Existing Guarantee and the Administrative Agent
on behalf of itself and the Lenders wish to amend and restate the Existing Guarantee as herein
provided; and

     WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective
Loans or other extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor

 

 

shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective
loans and other extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors
hereby agree with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:

     1. Defined Terms. (a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit
Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

     (b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this
Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this
Guarantee, and section and paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.

     (c) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the
singular and plural forms of such terms.

     2. Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and
complete payment and performance by the Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

     (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum
liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed
the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws
relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established
in Section 3).

     (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed
the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or
affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

     (d) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no
Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that
from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrowers may be free from any
Obligations.

     (e) No payment made by the Company, any other Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
from the Company, any other Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any
time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall,
notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor
hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the
Commitments are terminated.

-2-

 

     3. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a
Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such
Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor
hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of
contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4. The provisions of this
Section 3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

     4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any
set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no
Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender against the Company, any other Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the
payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from the Company, any other Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments
made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall
be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid
in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor
(duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against
the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may
determine.

     5. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain
obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor
and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the
Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of
any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or
right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified,
supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect,
secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for
this Guarantee or any property subject thereto.

     6. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this
Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon, this Guarantee;
and all dealings between the Company, any other Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each
Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest,

-3-

 

demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon the Company, any other Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the
Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance of the Obligations
without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of
offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrowers or any other
Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever
(with or without notice to or knowledge of any of the Borrowers or such Guarantor) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers
for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other
instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder
against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation
to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against
the Company, any other Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any
failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to
exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall
not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect
the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the
commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

     7. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrowers or any
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, the Company, any other Borrower or any Guarantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     8. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to
the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in the relevant currency at the Funding
Office.

     9. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants
that:

     (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and
operate its property, to lease the property it operates and to conduct the business in which it is
currently engaged;

     (b) it has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform
its obligations under, this Guarantee, and has taken all necessary action to authorize its
execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee;

enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as affected by Debtor Relief Laws, general
equitable principles and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

-4-

 

     (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee will not violate any provision
of any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Guarantor and will not result in or
require the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the properties or revenues of such
Guarantor pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Guarantor;

     (e) no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person (including, without
limitation, any stockholder or creditor of such Guarantor) is required in connection with the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guarantee;

     (f) no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened by or against such
Guarantor or against any of its properties or revenues (1) with respect to this Guarantee or any of
the transactions contemplated hereby, or (2) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect;

     (g) it has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest
in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other
property, except for such property where the failure to maintain such title or interest,
individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to
any Lien except as permitted under the Credit Agreement; and

     (h) it has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required
to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any
assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges
imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or
validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such
Guarantor) except where the failure to file such returns and pay such taxes, fees and other
charges, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; to the knowledge of such Guarantor, no tax Lien has been filed and no claim is
being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

     Each Guarantor agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed to
have been made by such Guarantor on the date of each borrowing by any Borrower under the Credit
Agreement on and as of such date of borrowing as though made hereunder on and as of such date.

     10. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights
and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee with respect to any action
taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of
any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be
governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist
from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be under any
obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

     11. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Guarantor to be effective shall be in writing (or by telex, fax or similar
electronic transfer confirmed in writing) and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (1)
when delivered by hand or (2) if given by mail, when deposited in the mails by certified mail,
return receipt requested, or (3) if by telex, fax or similar electronic transfer, when sent and
receipt has been confirmed, addressed as follows:

-5-

 

     (a) if to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, at its address or transmission number for
notices provided in subsection 9.2 of the Credit Agreement; and

     (b) if to any Guarantor, at its address or transmission number for notices set forth under its
signature below.

     The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Guarantor may change its address and
transmission numbers for notices by notice in the manner provided in this Section.

     12. Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the Guarantors on
any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the counterparts of this Guarantee signed by all
the Guarantors shall be lodged with the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guarantee by telecopier or other electronic
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guarantee.

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

     14. Integration. This Guarantee represents the agreement of each Guarantor with
respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein.

     15. Amendments in Writing, No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms or
provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a
written instrument executed by each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, provided that
any provision of this Guarantee may be waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in a
letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent or by telex or facsimile transmission from
the Administrative Agent.

     (b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written
instrument pursuant to paragraph 15(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed
to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

     (c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

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

     17. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and their successors and assigns. No Guarantor may assign any of its obligations
hereunder.

     18. Governing Law. This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted
in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned                     , a(n)                     (the

shall become due and payable in accordance with Section 7 of the Credit Agreement referred
to below, the principal amount of                      Dollars ($                    ) or, if less,
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Loans advanced by the Lender to the Borrower
pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 25, 2010 (as
