AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

          SECTION 2.01. The Advances and the Letters of Credit. (a) The Term B Advances. Each Term B Lender severally agrees, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, to make a single advance (a “Term B Advance”) to the Borrower on
the Effective Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term B Commitment. The Term B
Borrowing shall consist of Term B Advances made simultaneously by the Term B Lenders ratably
according to their Term B Commitments whereupon the Term B Commitments shall be reduced to zero in
accordance with Section 2.05(b). Notwithstanding the

 

28

foregoing, each Term Lender that was a party
to the Existing Credit Facility that executes a counterpart to this Agreement on the Effective Date
(each, a “Converting Term Lender”) (x) severally agrees to convert (a “Term Loan Conversion”), on
the Effective Date, all “Term Loans” (as defined in the Existing Credit Facility) of such
Converting Term Lender outstanding on the Effective Date (immediately prior to giving effect
thereto) into a term loan hereunder (each such term loan, a “Converted Term Loan” and,
collectively, the “Converted Term Loans”), which Term Loan Conversion shall be deemed to constitute
the making of a Term Loan for all purposes hereunder in an amount equal to the amount of such
Converted Term Loans; provided, that to the extent that the Term Loan Commitment of any Converting
Term Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of such Converting Term Lender’s Converted Term Loans, such
Converting Term Lender shall be obligated to make a Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to
such excess in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.01. Amounts borrowed under
this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

          (b) The Revolving Credit Advances. Each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees, on
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each a “Revolving Credit
Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date until the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount
for each such Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment at such time.
Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (other than a Borrowing the proceeds of which shall be
used solely to repay or prepay in full outstanding Swing Line Advances or outstanding Letter of
Credit Advances or a Borrowing which corresponds to an amortization payment) and shall consist of
Revolving Credit Advances made simultaneously by the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably according to
their Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the limits of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Unused
Revolving Credit Commitment in effect from time to time, the Borrower may borrow under this Section
2.01(b), prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b).

          (c) The Swing Line Advances. The Swing Line Bank agrees on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, to make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any
Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the
Swing Line Bank’s Swing Line Commitment at such time and (ii) in an amount for each such Swing Line
Borrowing not to exceed the aggregate of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving
Credit Lenders at such time. No Swing Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the
payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an
amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be made as a
Base Rate Advance. Within the limits of the Swing Line Facility and within the limits referred to
in clause (ii) above, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section
2.04(c) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c). Immediately
upon the making of a Swing Line Advance, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Bank a risk
participation in such Swing Line Advance in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Advance.

          (d) The Letters of Credit. The Issuing Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its
behalf) letters
of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) in U.S. dollars for the account of the Borrower from time
to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until 60 days before the
Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate Available Amount (i)
for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Facility
at such time and (y) the Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) for each
such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused

 

29

Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit
Lenders at such time. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of
the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of 60 days before the
Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and (A) in the case of a Standby
Letter of Credit, one year after the date of issuance thereof, but may by its terms be renewable
annually upon notice (a “Notice of Renewal”) given to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
on or prior to any date for notice of renewal set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event
at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed renewal of such Standby Letter of
Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III unless the
Issuing Bank has notified the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the
date for notice of termination set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least 30
Business Days prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to renew such Standby
Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Termination”) and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, 60
days after the date of issuance thereof; provided that the terms of each Standby Letter of Credit
that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) require the Issuing Bank that issued such
Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of
any Notice of Termination, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under
such Standby Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have
been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving effect to any
renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 60 days
before the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility. If either a Notice of
Renewal is not given by the Borrower or a Notice of Termination is given by the Issuing Bank
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Standby Letter of Credit shall expire on the
date on which it otherwise would have been automatically renewed. Within the limits of the Letter
of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the
issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(d), repay any Letter of Credit Advances
resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.04(d) and request the issuance of
additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(d).

          SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b)
or 2.03, each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a
Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time)
on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate
Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Appropriate Lender
prompt notice thereof by telex, telecopier or other form of electronic communication. Each such
notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in
writing, or telex, telecopier or other form of electronic communication, in substantially the form
of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Facility
under which such Borrowing is to be made, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv)
aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (v) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Appropriate Lender shall, before
12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing, make available for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in
same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective
Commitments under the applicable Facility of such Lender and the other Appropriate Lenders. After
the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower
by crediting the Borrower’s Account; provided, however, that, in the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall first apply such funds to prepay ratably the aggregate principal amount
of any Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances outstanding at such time, together with
interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date.

     (b) (i) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the Borrower to

 

30

the Swing
Line Bank and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of
Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex,
telecopier or other form of electronic communication, specifying therein the requested (i) date of
such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity
shall be no later than the tenth Business Day after the requested date of such Borrowing). The
Swing Line Bank will make the amount of the requested Swing Line Advances available to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by
crediting the Borrower’s Account.

     (ii) The Swing Line Bank may, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, request on
behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Bank to so
request on its behalf) that each Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Advance in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Advances then outstanding. Such
request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing for purposes hereof and shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.02(a) without regard solely to the minimum
amounts specified therein but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
3.02. The Swing Line Bank shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Notice of
Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Notice of
Borrowing available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same
date funds, not later than 11:00 A.M. on the day specified in such Notice of Borrowing.

     (iii) If for any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit
Borrowing as contemplated by Section 2.02(b)(ii), the request for Base Rate Advances submitted by
the applicable Swing Line Bank as set forth in Section 2.02(b)(ii) shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swing Line Bank that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Advance and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(ii) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.

     (iv) If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made the amount of
its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.02(b)(ii), such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date of the applicable Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Swing Line Bank until the date
such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

     (v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances or to purchase
and fund risk participations in Swing Line Advances pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Swing Line Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence of
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 Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving
Credit Advances pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) is subject to satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 3.02. No funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

 

31

          (c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not
select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less
than $1,000,000 (unless such Borrowing corresponds to an amortization payment) or if the obligation
of the Appropriate Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) the Term B Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than 10
separate Interest Periods and the Revolving Credit Advances may not be outstanding as part of more
than 15 separate Interest Periods.

          (d) Each Notice of Borrowing and each Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing
specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each
Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any
failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing
the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost
or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing
when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender
prior to the date of any Borrowing under a Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment that
such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of
such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection
(a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time
under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the
Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for
all purposes.

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

          SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit .
(a) Request for Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not
later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or such fewer days as the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower shall agree) prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such
Letter of Credit, by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank, which shall give to the Administrative
Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or electronic
communication. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall
be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, telecopier, or other form of electronic
communication, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such issuance (which shall be a
Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of
Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such
Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit
as the Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested

 

 

32

Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit
Agreement”). If (x) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to the Issuing Bank
in its sole discretion and (y) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from
Lenders holding at least 51% of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Issuing Bank will, upon
fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit
available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the
Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of
any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement
shall govern.

          (b) Letter of Credit Reports. The Issuing Bank shall furnish (A) to the
Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each week a written report summarizing issuance
and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued during the previous week and drawings during such
week under all Letters of Credit, (B) to each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of
each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued
during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (C) to
the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender on the first Business Day of each
calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during
the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit.

          (c) Participations in Letters of Credit. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit by
the Issuing Bank under Section 2.03(a), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by
any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the
Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount for each Revolving Credit
Lender equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit,
effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the
foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the
Borrower forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.04(d) by making available for the
account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
Bank by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Disbursement. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any set-off,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit
Lender shall not have so made the amount of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative
Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such L/C Disbursement is due
pursuant to Section 2.04(d) until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of the Issuing Bank, as applicable. If such
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Issuing Bank on any
Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit
Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the
outstanding principal amount of the
Letter of Credit Advance made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such
Business Day.

          (d) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under
any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by the Issuing
Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such
draft.

 

33

          (e) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the
Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such
date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of
Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

          SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Advances. (a) Term B Advances. The Borrower shall
repay the Term B Advances to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Term B
Lenders, in equal quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each March, June, September
and December, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2006, in an amount equal to
0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term B Advances; provided, however, that the
final principal installment shall be repaid on the Termination Date in respect of the Term B
Facility and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Term
B Advances outstanding on such date.

          (b) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Termination Date in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then
outstanding.

          (c) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made a Swing Line
Advance the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the
earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which
maturity shall be no later than the tenth Business Day after the requested date of such Borrowing)
and the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

          (d) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Credit Lender that has made a
Letter of Credit Advance on the earlier of demand and the Termination Date in respect of the
Revolving Credit Facility the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by
each of them.

          (ii) The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and

Bank or any other

 

34

Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the

    (D) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to

    (G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of

          SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The
Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in
whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided,
however, that each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made
ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares with
respect to such Facility.

          (b) Mandatory. (i) Upon the funding of the Term B Advances on the Effective Date
pursuant to Section 2.01(a), the aggregate Term B Commitments of the Term B Lenders shall be
reduced to zero.

          (ii) The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date
of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of
the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such
reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

          (iii) The Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of
each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the

          SECTION 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice in the case of
Base Rate Advances and three Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each

prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate
principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part,
together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount
prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) if any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
Each such

 

35

prepayment of any Term B Advance shall be applied to the installments thereof on a pro
rata basis ratably to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective outstanding Term
B Advances.

          (b) Mandatory. (i) The Borrower shall, on the 90th day following the end

4.00:1.00, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Term B Advances in an amount equal to 50% of
the amount of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the
installments of the Term B Facility on a pro rata basis ratably to the Appropriate Lenders in
accordance with their respective outstanding Term B Advances.

          (ii) The Borrower shall, on each Prepayment Date, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the
Term B Advances in an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds. Each such prepayment
shall be applied to the installments of the Term B Facility on a pro rata basis ratably to the
Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective outstanding Term B Advances.

          (iii) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings, the Letter of Credit Advances and
the Swing Line Advances and deposit an amount in the L/C Collateral Account in an amount equal to
the amount by which (A) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (x) the Revolving Credit
Advances, (y) the Letter of Credit Advances and (z) the Swing Line Advances then outstanding plus
the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the Revolving
Credit Facility on such Business Day.

          (iv) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in
the L/C Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C
Collateral Account to equal the amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of
Credit then outstanding exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility on such Business Day.

          (v) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (iii) above shall be
first applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in
full, second applied to prepay Swing Line Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in

outstanding; and the amount remaining (if any) after the prepayment in full of the Advances then
outstanding and the 100% cash collateralization of the aggregate Available Amount of Letters of
Credit then outstanding may be retained by the Borrower. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit
for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to
reimburse the Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

          (vi) Anything contained in this Section 2.06(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, if, following
the occurrence of any “Asset Disposition” (as such term is defined in the 2002 Senior Notes
Indenture) by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, the Parent would be required to apply or
cause its Subsidiaries to apply an amount equal to any of the “Net Available Cash” (as defined in
the 2002 Senior Notes Indenture) thereof by a particular date (an “Application Date”) in a
particular manner, in order to excuse the Borrower from being required to make an “Offer” (as
defined in the 2002 Senior Notes Indenture) in connection with such “Asset Disposition,” and the
Borrower shall have failed to so apply an amount equal to such “Net Available Cash” at least 10
days before the applicable Application Date, or cause to be applied an amount equal to any such
“Net Available Cash,” then the Borrower shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such “Net Available

 

36

Cash” to be applied to the payment of
the Term B Advances in the manner set forth in Section 2.06(b)(ii) in such amounts as shall excuse
the Borrower from making any such “Offer”.

          (vii) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest
to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, together with any amounts owing
pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

          SECTION 2.07. Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance
until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

    (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate
Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from
time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods
and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

    (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for
such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance
plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect on the first day of such Interest Period, payable
in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a
duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period
every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such
Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

          (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default
under Section 6.01(a), the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders
shall, require that the Borrower pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid overdue
principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender Party, payable in arrears on the dates
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and on demand, at a rate per
annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such
Advance pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and (ii) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender Party that is not paid when
due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in
arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at
all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on
the Type of Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section
2.07(a), as applicable, and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (i) of
Section 2.07(a); provided, however, that following the acceleration of the Advances, or the giving
of notice by the Agent to accelerate the Advances, pursuant to Section 6.01, Default Interest
shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Administrative
Agent.

          (c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice
of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a
notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest
Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Appropriate Lender of
the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative
Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.

          SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders a commitment fee (the

 

37

“Commitment Fee”), from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the
effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in
the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date, payable in arrears quarterly on the last
day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2006, and on the Termination
Date, equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate times the average daily Unused Revolving Credit
Commitment of such Lender; provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to any
of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a
Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such
Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise
have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no
Commitment Fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender
shall be a Defaulting Lender.

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commission, payable in arrears quarterly on
the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2006, and on the
earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of
Credit and on the Termination Date in respect of the Letter of Credit Facility, on such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of (A) all
Standby Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar
Rate Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility and (B) all Trade Letters of Credit then
outstanding at the rate of 0.20% per annum. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(f), the amount of commission payable by the Borrower under
this clause (b)(i) shall be increased by 2% per annum on any overdue amounts.

          (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a commission,
payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing June 30, 2006, and on the Termination Date in respect of the Letter of Credit Facility,
on the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter, from the Effective Date until
the Termination Date in respect of the Letter of Credit Facility, at the rate of 1/4 of 1% per
annum and (B) such other commissions, fronting fees, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees
and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the
Borrower and the Issuing Bank shall agree.

          (c) Agents’ Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each Agent for its own account such fees
as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and such Agent.

          SECTION 2.09. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior
to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Convert all
or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other
Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances
shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any
Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than
the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more
separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising
part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders
in accordance with their Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall,
within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances
to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the
initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrower.

 

38

          (b) Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or
otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, other than by reason of an amortization payment, such Advances
shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

          (ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest
Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the
Appropriate Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last
day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Eurodollar Rate Advance with an
Interest Period of one month.

          (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate
Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert
into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances
into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

          SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the adoption of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date of this Agreement or
(ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental
authority (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement, there shall be
any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or
maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or
participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of
Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting
from (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis
of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign
jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time,
upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that the Borrower shall
not be responsible for costs under this Section 2.10(a) arising more than 180 days prior to receipt
by the Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). A
certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender
Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline
or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law) which becomes effective after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such
Lender Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of
such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder
and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the
Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations) (and a similar reserve requirement is not
already reflected in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate”), then, upon demand by such Lender Party
or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as
specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in
the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or
to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or
participation in any Letters of Credit; provided further that the Borrower shall not be

 

39

responsible for costs under this Section 2.10(b) arising more than 180 days prior to receipt by the Borrower of
the demand from the affected Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.10(b). A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in
or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or
other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar
Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue
to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor
by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance
under each Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment will automatically, upon such demand,
Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make, or to
Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender
agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a
designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its
obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender.

          SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when
due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day
funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to
have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i)
if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other
Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender
Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with
the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such
payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party,
to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance
and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d),
from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall
make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the
Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all
appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between
themselves.

          (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the
extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a
Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party or such
Affiliate any amount so due; provided that such Lender first confirms with the Administrative Agent
that such payment has not been made to the Administrative Agent.

          (c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative
Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations

 

40

 of
interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit
commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each
case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
commitment or letter of credit fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if
such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be
made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal
to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until
the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.

          (f) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents
and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any
date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and
the Lender Parties in the following order of priority:

    (i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and
expenses that are due and payable to the Agents (solely in their respective capacities as
Agents) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date,
ratably based
upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs
and expenses owing to the Agents on such date;

    (ii) second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and
expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank (solely in
their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such
fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Bank and the Swing
Line Bank on such date;

    (iii) third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses
that are due and payable to the Lenders under Sections 9.04 hereof, Section 20 of the
Security Agreement and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date,
ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments,
costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;

 

41

    (iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 hereof on such
date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

    (v) fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders
under Section 2.08(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments
of the Lenders under the Facilities on such date;

    (vi) sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations
of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably
based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

    (vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances
that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section
2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such
interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

    (viii) eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding
Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such
date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date; and

    (ix) ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or
in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and
the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts
of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on
such date.

If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties
under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not
specify the Advances or the Facility to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be
applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such
funds to each of the Lender Parties in accordance with such Lender Party’s Pro Rata Share of the
sum of (A) the aggregate
principal amount of all Advances outstanding at such time and (b) the aggregate Available Amount of
all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the
outstanding Advances or other Obligations then owing to such Lender Party, and, in the case of the
Term B Facility, for application to such principal repayment installments thereof, as the
Administrative Agent shall direct.

          SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
any Loan Party hereunder or under the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Party
shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or
any Lender Party (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such
Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law.

 

42

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

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

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

          (e) Any Foreign Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Loan Party is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Loan
Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law,
such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by such Loan Party as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate; provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party
advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable
documentation.

          SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to
Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and
under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party
hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to
all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at
such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party
hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party
hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under
the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time
obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from
the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and
payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender
Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such
purchase from each other Lender Party shall be

 

43

rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to
the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the
aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal
to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other
Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender
Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of
the total amount so recovered; provided further that, so long as the Obligations under the Loan
Documents shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Appropriate Lender
shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate Lenders. The Borrower agrees that
any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party
pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights
of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating
interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

          SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of
Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds and Letters of
Credit) to consummate the Restatement (including the repayment of the advances under the Existing
Credit Facility), pay related transaction fees and expenses, and provide working capital for the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for general corporate purposes which shall include (x) the financing
of the repayment of certain intercompany loans (the “Intercompany Loan Repayment”) and (y) the
financing of the Mexrail Acquisition.

          SECTION 2.15. Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender
Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Advance to
the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or under any
other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, so long
as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make such payment to
or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation
of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any date, the
Borrower shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such payment against the
obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date,
the amount so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date
of such setoff under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required
to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of
this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance
was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances
comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to
be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any
time the Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set
forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be
made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such
Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required
to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the
Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower pursuant
to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b)
or (c) of this Section 2.15.

          (b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender,
(ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to any Agent or any of the other

 

44

Lender
Parties and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent
may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Agents or such other Lender Parties and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower
to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the
extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so
apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so
applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such
amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or
distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Agents or such other Lender Parties, ratably
in accordance with the respective portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the
Administrative Agent, such other Agents and such other Lender Parties and, if the amount of such
payment made by the Borrower shall at such time be insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing
at such time to the Administrative Agent, such other Agents and such other Lender Parties, in the
following order of priority:

    (i) first, to the Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their
capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing
to the Agents;

    (ii) second, to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank for any Defaulted Amounts then
owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective
Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank; and

    (iii) third, to any other Lender Parties for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such
other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then
owing to such other Lender Parties.

Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender
remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
subsection (b), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this
Section 2.15.

          (c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender,
(ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the
Borrower, any Agent or any other Lender Party shall be required to pay or distribute any amount
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then
the Borrower or such Agent or such other Lender Party shall pay such amount to the Administrative
Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in
escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hold
in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow
under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in an account with a bank
(the “Escrow Bank”) selected by the Administrative Agent, in the name and under the control of the
Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions of this subsection (c). The terms applicable
to such account, including the rate of interest payable with respect to the credit balance of such
account from time to time, shall be the Escrow Bank’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts
maintained with it. Any interest credited to such account from time to time shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in escrow under, and applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of, this subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to
the extent necessary to make any Advances required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay
any amount payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, as and when such

 

45

Advances or amounts are required
to be made or paid and, if the amount so held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make
and pay all such Advances and amounts required to be made or paid at such time, in the following
order of priority:

    (i) first, to the Agents for any amounts then due and payable by such Defaulting Lender
to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective
amounts then due and payable to the Agents;

    (ii) second, to the Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Bank for any amounts then due and
payable to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Defaulting Lender, ratably
in accordance with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Issuing Bank and the
Swing Line Bank;

    (iii) third, to any other Lender Parties for any amount then due and payable by such
Defaulting Lender to such other Lender Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such
respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and

    (iv) fourth, to the Borrower for any Advance then required to be made by such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a
Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect
to such Lender Party shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and
applied by such Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such
Obligations outstanding at such time.

          (d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in
addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that any Agent or any Lender Party may have against such
Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

          SECTION 2.16. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with
its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the
amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The
Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to
the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is
required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge,
enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the Borrower
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a
Revolving Credit Note and a Term B Note, as applicable, in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1
and A-2 hereto, respectively, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount equal
to the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term B Commitment, respectively, of such Lender Party.
All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued
hereunder.

          (b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall
include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken
together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of
Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount
of any

 

46

principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from
the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

          (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection
(a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or
to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and,
in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest
error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make
an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12, as the case may be,
in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the
Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result
in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make
any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease
to apply.

organization, (ii) is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign entity in each other
jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or in which the conduct of its business

each such class of its Equity Interests owned by such Loan Party at the date hereof. All of
the outstanding Equity Interests in each Loan Party’s Subsidiaries that are subject to the
Security Agreement have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned
by such Loan Party or one or more of its Subsidiaries free and clear of all Liens, except
those created under the Collateral Documents.

Loan Documents, all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect
the security interest in the Collateral created under the Collateral Documents have been
duly made or taken and are in full force and effect, and the Collateral Documents create in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and, together

relating to such Debt; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist under any

creditor upon such judgment or order or (ii) there shall be any period of 30 consecutive
days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment or order, by reason of a pending

     (h) any non-monetary judgment or order shall be rendered against any Loan Party or any
of its Subsidiaries that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there

     (i) any provision of any Loan Document after delivery thereof pursuant to Section 3.01
or 5.01(i) shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against any
Loan Party party to it, or any such Loan Party shall so state in writing; or

     (j) any Collateral Document or financing statement after delivery thereof pursuant to

cease to create a valid and perfected first priority lien on and security interest in a
material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby; or

     (k) a Change of Control shall occur;

     (l) any ERISA Event shall have occurred which, in the opinion of the Required Lenders,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (m) an event of Default (as defined in any Mortgage) shall have occurred and be
continuing; or

     (n) an event of default or purchase termination event or other comparable event shall

$20,000,000, in any case that could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse
effect on the liquidity of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in a
Material Adverse Effect;

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the
consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments of each Lender
Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit
Advances by the Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Swing
Line Advances by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) and of the Issuing Bank to
issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii)
shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, (A) by notice to the
Borrower, declare the Notes, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all
such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower, (B) by notice to each party required under the terms of any agreement in
support of which a Standby Letter of Credit is issued, request that all Obligations under such

 

73

agreement be declared to be due and payable; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or
deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
(x) the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances
(other than Letter of Credit Advances by the Issuing Bank or a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to
Section 2.03(c) and Swing Line Advances by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.02(b))
and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (y) the
Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable,
without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower.

          SECTION 6.02. Actions in Respect of the Letters of Credit upon Default. If any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the
request of the Required Lenders, irrespective of whether it is taking any of the actions described
in Section 6.01 or otherwise, make demand upon the Borrower to, and forthwith upon such demand the
Borrower will, pay to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in same day funds at the
Collateral Agent’s Office, for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the
aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding; provided, however, that in
the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under
the Bankruptcy Law, the Borrower will pay to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties
in same day funds at the Collateral Agent’s Office, for deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, an
amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding, without
presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
the Borrower. If at any time the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent determines that any
funds held in the L/C Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than
the Agents and the Lender Parties or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate
Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, pay to the Collateral Agent, as additional funds to
be deposited and held in the L/C Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such
aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C
Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of
Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to
reimburse the Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS

          SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a
Lender, the Swing Line Bank (if applicable), the Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of
itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to
take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or
take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders,
and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties and all holders of Notes; provided,
however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal
liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to give to
each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

 

74

          (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, the
Swing Line Bank (if applicable), the Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as
the agent of such Lender Party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens
on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the
Collateral Agent (and any Supplemental Collateral Agents appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant
to Section 7.01(c) for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion
thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Article VII (including, without limitation, Section 7.05 as though such Supplemental Collateral
Agents were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto.

          (c) Any Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the
direction of the Collateral Agent) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall
be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining
to such duties. The Collateral Agent may also from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems
it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents,
collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to
all or any part of the Collateral; provided, however, that no such Supplemental Collateral Agent
shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any Collateral unless and except to the
extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing
from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so
appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such
Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or
shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments
promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor
thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all rights, powers,
privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall
automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Collateral Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agent, attorney-in-fact or Supplemental Collateral Agent that it selects in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section 7.01(c) in the absence of such Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

          SECTION 7.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing,
each Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until, in the case of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance
entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee,
as assignee, or, in the case of any other Agent, such Agent has received notice from the
Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Assignment and Acceptance, in each case
as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan
Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and
shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or representations
(whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any
duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence
at any time of any

 

75

Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of
any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur
no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent,
certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex) believed
by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

          SECTION 7.03. BNS and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it
and the Notes issued to it, BNS shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as
any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term
“Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include BNS in its
individual capacity. BNS and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as
trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any
kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business
with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if BNS were not an Agent
and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties. No Agent shall have any duty to
disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Loan
Party or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any
capacity other than as such Agent.

          SECTION 7.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the
financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement.

          SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each
Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s
ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under
the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse
each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent
that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the
case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this
Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
Lender Party or any other Person.

          (b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to the extent not
promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined
as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan

 

 76

Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in
a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Issuing Bank is not
promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

          (c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any
amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount
of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding
at such time, (iii) the aggregate unused portions of their respective Term B Commitments at such
time and (iv) their respective Unused Revolving Credit Commitment at such time; provided that the
aggregate principal
amount of Swing Line Advances owing to the Swing Line Bank and of Letter of Credit Advances
owing to the Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments. The failure of any Lender Party to
reimburse any Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation
hereunder to reimburse such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of
such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to
reimburse such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable
share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party
hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall
survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents.

          SECTION 7.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign as to any or all of the Facilities at
any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed
as to all of the Facilities at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided,
however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it has also been
replaced as Collateral Agent, Swing Line Bank and Letter of Credit Issuing Bank and released from
all of its obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Lenders shall have the right with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld) to appoint a successor Agent as to such of the Facilities as to which such
Agent has resigned or been removed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring
Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent,
then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, with the approval of the Borrower
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent as to all of the Facilities and, in the case of a successor
Collateral Agent, upon the
execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or
amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments
or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to
continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral
Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent as to less than all of the Facilities and, in the case of a
successor Collateral Agent, upon the

 

77

execution and filing or recording of such financing
statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such
other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may
request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the
Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent as to such Facilities, other than
with respect to funds transfers and other similar aspects of the administration of Borrowings under
such Facilities, issuances of Letters of Credit (notwithstanding any resignation as Agent with
respect to the Letter of Credit Facility) and payments by the Borrower in respect of such
Facilities, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement as to such Facilities, other than as aforesaid. If within 45 days
after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section
7.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on
such 45th day (a) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective,
(b) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan
Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall
thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent as to any of the Facilities shall have become
effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent as to such Facilities under this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.07. Other Agents; Arranger and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons
identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,”
“documentation agent,” “bookrunner,” or “lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than to the extent expressly set forth
herein and, in the case of such Lender Parties, those applicable to all Lender Parties as such.
Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lender Parties or other Persons so identified shall
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party. Each Lender Party
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lender Parties or other
Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action
hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTY

          SECTION 8.01. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when
due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration,
demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or
in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications,
substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest (including, without
limitation, Post Petition Interest), premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs,
expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any
and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any
other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability
shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by
any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the
fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

 

78

          (b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each
other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this
Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent
applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this
Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of
such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

          (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment
shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such
Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other
Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured
Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

          SECTION 8.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations
will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or
in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations
of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of
whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower
or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor
under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:

     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto;

     (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under
or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party
or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

     (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other
collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from,
any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

     (d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other
disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other
assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

     (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of
any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

79

     (f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance,
properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party
(each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such
information);

     (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty
Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of
any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

     (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other
guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any
Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower
or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

          SECTION 8.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that
any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

          (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

          (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any
manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such
Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person
or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in
respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

          (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand
upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty,
foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to
the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any
deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by
applicable law.

          (e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any
Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

 

80

          (f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth
in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

          SECTION 8.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees
not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations
under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any
right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises
in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to
take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on
account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all
other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of
Credit and all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments
shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation
of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in
cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the
Termination Date and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and
all Secured Hedge Agreements, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall
forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or
other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make
payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in
full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit and all
Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated, the Secured Parties will, at such
Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by
subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

          SECTION 8.05. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a
guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”),
(a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a
Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a
reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a
“Subsidiary Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b)
each reference herein to “ this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring
to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”,
“thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this
Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

          SECTION 8.06. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts,
liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the
“Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth in this Section 8.06:

 

81

     (a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments
from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence
and during the
continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the
Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to
collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

     (b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured
Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations
(including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under
any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post
Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

     (c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so
requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations
as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with
any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty.

     (d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is
authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in
the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of,
Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed
Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each
Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated
Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative
Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition
Interest).

          SECTION 8.07. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of
the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the Termination
Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all
Secured Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c)
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees
and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence,
any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the
Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person
shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured
Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07. No
Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the
prior written consent of the Secured Parties.

directly and adversely affected by such amendment, waiver or consent: (i) increase the Commitments
of such Lender; (ii) reduce the principal of, or stated rate of interest on, the Notes held by such
Lender or any fees or other amounts stated to be payable hereunder to such Lender; or (iii)

Agreement; and provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and

          SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or any Agent
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

          SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand (i) all
reasonable costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under, the Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication,
transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and

Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a
Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any
proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and expenses of each Agent and each Lender Party
in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or
litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights
generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto).

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Agent, each
Lender Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any
and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any
Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including,
without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation
of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the
proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Transaction Documents or any of the
transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on
any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in
any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding
to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether
or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors,
shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the Transaction is consummated.
The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent,

 

84

any Lender Party or any of
their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of
or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances
or the Letters of Credit, the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.

          (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by
the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06,
2.09(b)(i) or 2.10(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for
any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for
which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether
pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender
Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any
additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or
Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any
loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.

          (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it
under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and
indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections
2.10 and 2.12 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and
all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

          SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by
Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.01, each Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such
Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and
all of the Obligations of the Borrower then due under the Loan Documents. Each Agent and each
Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such Lender Party and their respective
Affiliates may have.

          SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Borrower and each Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by each Initial Lender Party (or otherwise received evidence satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent) that such Initial Lender Party has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective
successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties.

 

85

          SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and
the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a
uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any or
all Facilities, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to
such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an
assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount
of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined
as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event
be less than 1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and,
so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such
assignment, the Borrower) under each Facility for which a Commitment is being assigned, (iii) each
such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted
without the consent of the Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent shall have notified
the Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed and (v) the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its
acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or
Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that,
only one such fee shall be payable in respect of simultaneous assignments by any Lender to its
Affiliates.

          (b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04 to the
extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor
thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such
assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to
the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any
of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible
Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and

 

86

authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such
Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it
as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

          (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent
of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each
Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the
names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal
amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any Lender Party at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and
an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Agent.
In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such
notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in
exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an
amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a
new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it
hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such
Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 or A-2
hereto, as the case may be.

          (f) The Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible Assignee all of its rights and obligations
under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that
each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and the parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register,
an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided
that, only one such fee shall be payable in respect of simultaneous assignments by any Lender to
its Affiliates.

          (g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan
Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing
to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such
Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender Parties
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender
Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such
participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, or any consent to any departure by any

 

87

Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that
such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any
fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation,
postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or
other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, release
all or substantially all of the Collateral or reduce or limit the obligations of any Guarantor
under Section 8.01 or release such Guarantor except in connection with transactions otherwise
permitted hereunder.

          (h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant
or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such
Lender Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such
disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve
the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party.

          (i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at
any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it),
including without limitation, in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a fund that
invests in bank loans may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Advances owing to
it and the Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until
such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section
9.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the
Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a
Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with
respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

          (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to
time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to
provide all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to
make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by
any SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to make all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such
Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize
the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such
Granting Lender. Each
party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar
payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender Party would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection
provision) and (iii) the Granting Bank shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the
approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender Party
of record hereunder. 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 SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC
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 in
this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to,

 

88

but without prior consent of, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $500, assign all or any portion of
its interest in any Advance to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper
dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This
subsection (k) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or
any part of whose Advances are being funded by the SPC at the time of such amendment.

          SECTION 9.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Delivery by telecopier or other form of electronic communication of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.09. No Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts
or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of
such Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be
liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency
or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing
Bank against presentation of documents that do not strictly comply with the terms of a Letter of
Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the
Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank,
and the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not
consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) the
Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any
Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Issuing Bank’s willful
failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and
certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank 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.

          SECTION 9.10. Confidentiality. Neither any Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any
Confidential Information to any Person
without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to such Agent’s or such Lender Party’s
Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or
prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as
required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any
state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners or any similar organization or quasi-regulatory authority) regulating such Lender
Party, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure,
such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information
relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender Party, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (f) to any
direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s
professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor agrees to be
bound by the provisions of this Section 9.10).

     SECTION 9.11. Release of Collateral and Guarantees. In the event that Parent or any
Subsidiary sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity
Interests, assets

 

89

or property owned by Parent or such Subsidiary in a transaction not prohibited by
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders
hereby authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to) take such
action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower to release any
Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests, assets or property,
including the release and satisfaction of record of any mortgage or deed of trust granted in
connection herewith, and, in the case of a disposition of all or substantially all the Equity
Interests or assets of any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party, to terminate such Subsidiary’s
Obligations under the Guaranty and each other Loan Document. In addition, the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent will take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower to
terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations
have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments have been terminated. The
Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent in connection with releases of Liens and Obligations under the Guaranty provided for in this
Section.

          SECTION 9.12. Non-Consenting Lenders. If, at any time, any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, on prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such
Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.07 all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or
other such Person; provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to receive
the full outstanding principal amount of Advances so assigned, together with accrued interest and
fees payable in respect of such Advances as of the date of such assignment.

          SECTION 9.13. Affirmation of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
consents to the Restatement, and hereby confirms and agrees that the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor contained in Article VIII of the Restatement, or in any other Loan Documents to which it
is a party are, and shall remain, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in
all respects. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents to which
such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party and all of the Collateral described therein do, and shall
continue to secure, payment of all of the Secured Obligations (in each case, as defined therein).

          SECTION 9.14. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot
Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow
such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the
Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide such
information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by any Agent or any Lender in order
to assist the Agents and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

          SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New
York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
any such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect

 

90

any right that any party may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          SECTION 9.16. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

          SECTION 9.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDER
PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
(WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN
THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

and at KCS’ sole expense, take all steps necessary (including, without limitation, recording all

2

provide any Partner Financing to KCS unless the Administrative Agent (as such term is defined in

Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit N. All such Partner Financing shall first be made
available to KCS and, if KCS elects not to borrow such amounts, subsequently to NS and shall in

provision of the Indentures or the KCS Credit Agreement.”

have hereunder or under any of the Ancillary Agreements and without impact on any representation,
warranty, covenant or obligation of KCS hereunder, KCS shall secure the release of such Lien and
make the filings reasonably necessary to evidence such release as promptly as practicable. From

permanently cease to be subject to the Line Option, (b) the Line Option has expired, as to any
portion of the Line, pursuant to the terms and conditions as set forth in Section 10.10 of the
Transaction Agreement, or (c) the Terminal or any portion thereof shall permanently cease to be
subject to the option set forth in the Dallas Terminal Marketing Agreement, in each case, in
accordance with the terms thereof, NS shall, upon the written request of KCS and within thirty (30)
days of its receipt of such notice, reasonably cooperate with KCS to make such filings, including
but not limited to executing a satisfactory release in recordable form, as may be reasonably
necessary to evidence such cessation or expiration.”

General Guidelines — Asset Identification

KCSR / NSR Joint Venture

KCS will contribute the following assets to the Joint Venture subject to the following
restrictions:

The single main line track highlighted in “green” on the attached SLIC charts, extending between
Meridian, MS., at Milepost 0.0, and Shreveport, LA., at Milepost V — 169.85, and on the attached
track charts the right of way extending from the center point of the track to the prevailing right
of way line for that location on either side of the track, including locations highlighted in
“blue” that are beyond the prevailing right of way line.

Sidings connected to and adjacent to the single main line track that are within the prevailing
right of way line on either side of the track and whose primary use is to meet and pass trains will
be included. Sidings can generally be identified on the Track Charts by the Control Point (CP)
designation at each end of the siding. They may also be identified by their SLIC number, and are
highlighted in “green” on the SLIC Charts)

All KCS owned tracks including but not limited to yard (see additional explanation below), branch
line, industrial lead, intermodal or strip, interchange, mechanical, car repair or rip, and storage
tracks; and all industry and privately owned tracks or leased branch lines that connect to the
single main line are excluded. The Joint Venture will be responsible for maintaining to the
clearance point any switches connecting such tracks to the single main line track. The attached
SLIC charts and the MCS Track Identification Table below will be used to determine the status of
each track along the route.

Where the single main line track runs through a yard only the single main line track will be
included (Highlighted in “green” on the attached SLIC charts). Through yards the right of way line
for the single main line track will be defined as the imaginary line running between the clearance
points of switches connecting to the single main line track.
