funds, an amount in Dollars and Euro to be distributed to the other Lenders as prepayments for the
account of their respective applicable lending offices such that the amount of the outstanding Loan
owing to each Lender in each borrowing after giving effect to such distribution equals such
Lender’s ratable portion of the Loans then outstanding thereafter (calculated based on its
Revolving Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments outstanding after
giving effect to the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase, and including the Dollar Equivalent of
any Loans denominated in Euro), unless other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the
Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender
(with a copy to the Company) no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City Time, request each Lender to
make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline
Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender
shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the
applicable Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City
Time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall
be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application
by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. If the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Company that the amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to
repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans, the Company shall pay such shortfall to the
Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice. Each of the Company
and the Borrowing Subsidiaries irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge its accounts
with the Administrative Agent in order to pay any such shortfall remaining outstanding after such
two following Business Days.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section
2.5(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to the applicable Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline
Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.5(b),
each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice
referred to in Section 2.8(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then
outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline
Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been
repaid with such Revolving Loans.

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

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(b) and to purchase
participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such Lender or such Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, such Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or
an Event of
Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii)
any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of such Borrower or the Company, (iv)
any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Borrowers, any other Loan
Party or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing.

 

25

 

2.6 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender a commitment fee in Dollars for the period from and including the
Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee
Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the
period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing
on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the
dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other
obligations contained therein.

2.7 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Company shall have the
right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the
Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments;
provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted
if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans
made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total
Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount equal to $10,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving
Commitments then in effect.

2.8 Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
its Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice of the Company
(on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) delivered to the Administrative Agent no
later than 1:00 P.M., Local Time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency
Loans, and no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case
of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the
prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurocurrency Loan is
prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the
applicable Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18. Upon receipt of any
such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any
such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and
Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of
Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or €5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 or €1,000,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans
shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may revoke or postpone any notice of prepayment if such prepayment would
have resulted from a refinancing of the Loans or proceeds from another transaction, which
refinancing or transaction shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

2.9 Mandatory Prepayments. If on any Calculation Date, the Total Revolving Extensions
of Credit exceeds 105% of the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Company shall (or
shall cause any Borrowing Subsidiary to), within three Business Days after the Administrative Agent
gives notice of such excess to the Company, (i) repay such of the outstanding Loans in an aggregate
principal amount or (ii) cash collateralize a portion of the L/C Obligations in an amount, such
that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (as reduced by any
amount of L/C Obligations that have been cash collateralized pursuant to this Section 2.9 or
otherwise) does not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.

 

26

 

2.10 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Company (on its own behalf or on
behalf of any other Borrower) may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans denominated
in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such
election no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed
conversion date. The Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect from
time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans or to convert Eurocurrency Loans into
Eurocurrency Loans having a different Interest Period by giving the Administrative Agent prior
irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the third Business Day
preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial
Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency
Loan and no Eurocurrency Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan having a different Interest
Period when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion and notified the Company not to
permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each relevant Lender thereof.

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

(c) No Revolving Loans made in Dollars may be converted into Revolving Loans denominated in
Euro, and no Revolving Loans denominated in Euro may be converted into Revolving
Loans denominated in Dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, Revolving Loans denominated in
Dollars or Euro shall be repaid or prepaid in such currency.

2.11 Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans and all
selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so
that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans
comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or €5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 or €1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurocurrency Tranches shall
be outstanding at any one time.

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

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

 

27

 

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such
overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the
rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations in Dollars, the rate
applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% or, in the case of Reimbursement Obligations in any
currency other than Dollars, at the Alternate Currency Overnight Rate plus 2% and (ii) if
all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment
fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% or, in the case of amounts determined in any
currency other than Dollars, at the Alternate Currency Overnight Rate plus 2%, in each
case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such
amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

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

2.13 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant
hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that,
with respect to (i) ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime
Rate and (ii) interest and fees payable hereunder denominated in British Pound Sterling, the
interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year
for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Company and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate, or of a rate for an
amount owing in a currency other than Dollars. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting
from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the
opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent
shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and
the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver
to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(a).

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

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

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

 

28

 

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given and until such notice
has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent any request by the Company (on its own behalf or on
behalf of any other Borrower) for a Eurocurrency Loan of the affected type or in the affected
currency, or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurocurrency Loan of the affected type or if the
affected currency, pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.10(b), shall be deemed rescinded;
provided that in the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one currency,
then Eurocurrency Loans in the other currency shall be permitted.

2.15 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by a Borrower from the
Lenders hereunder, each payment on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Revolving
Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective
Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on its Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Lenders, at the relevant Funding Office, in Dollars (with respect to
Obligations denominated in Dollars), Canadian Dollars (with respect to Obligations denominated in
Canadian Dollars), British Pound Sterling (with respect to Obligations denominated in British Pound
Sterling) and Euro (with respect to Obligations denominated in Euro), and in immediately available
funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly
upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section
9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension
would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of
principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on
the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such
amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars,
the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until
such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case
of amounts denominated in Euro at the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to
represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in Euro. A certificate of the Administrative
Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with
interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to (i) in the case of amounts denominated in
Dollars, ABR Loans or (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Euro at the rate per annum
determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in
Euro plus the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans, on demand, from the applicable Borrower.

 

29

 

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

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.5(b), 2.5(c), 2.15(e) or 3.4(a), unless subject to a good faith dispute, then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any
amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender
hereunder for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

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

(i) shall subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any (or any increase in any)
Other Connection Taxes with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Letter
of Credit, or any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made or Letter of Credit
issued by it, except any such Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or profits
(however denominated) or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income or profits taxes;

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

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than with respect to
Taxes);

 

30

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that
such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Eurocurrency Loans (or, in the case of clause (i), any Loan, any Letter of Credit, or any
participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made or Letter of Credit issued by it) or issuing
or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof, then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, promptly
following its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased
cost or reduced amount receivable; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules,
guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a
change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. If any Lender
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly
notify the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of
which it has become so entitled.

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

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
any Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any
amounts incurred
more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise
to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include
the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

2.17 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan
Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Letter of Credit shall be made free and clear
of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes unless such withholding is required by any
Requirement of Law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good
faith, that it (or in the case of any Lender that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income Tax purposes, by such Lender for the account of any of its direct or indirect beneficial
owners) is so required to deduct and withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent (or such Lender,
if applicable) may so deduct and withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are
Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent,
Lender, any Issuing Lender or its beneficial owner, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay, or
at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

31

 

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

(d) Within 10 days after demand therefor, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
(or any Loan Party) for the full amount of any Taxes (or in the case of a Loan Party, any Excluded
Taxes) attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Loan Party (provided that, with respect to the Administrative Agent, only to the extent that the
Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so) whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and together with reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties, as applicable, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(f) [Reserved]

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any
applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or Letter of Credit shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent or, in the case of a Participant, to the Administrative Agent and the
Lender from which the related Participation shall have been purchased), at the time or times
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (if any) as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two
sentences, in the case of any withholding Tax other than the U.S. federal withholding
Tax, the completion, execution and submission of such forms shall not be required
if (1) in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal
or commercial position of such Lender and (2) in the case of German withholding Tax, such
forms are not substantially similar to forms prescribed by applicable law as of the date
hereof for exemption from or reduction of German withholding Tax.

 

32

 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower
is a U.S. Borrower, each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or, in the case of a Participant, to
the Administrative Agent and the Lender from which the related participation shall have been
purchased (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the
following is applicable:

	 	(A)	 	in the case of a Lender that is a
“United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code, two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that
such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax,

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

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

	 	(D)	 	in the case of a Foreign Lender
claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the Form of Exhibit H to the effect that (A)
such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within
the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code
and (B) the interest payment in question is not effectively
connected with the United States trade or business conducted
by such Lender (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y)
duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN,

	 	(E)	 	to the extent a Foreign Lender is
not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender
is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical
participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY,
accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from
each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender)
and one or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are
claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender
may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each
such beneficial owner, or

	 	(F)	 	any other form prescribed by
applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States federal withholding Tax duly
completed together with such supplementary documentation as may
be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made

 

33

 

(iii) In addition to the foregoing, if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall
deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by
applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary
for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, FATCA shall
include any amendments thereto and any regulations or official interpretations thereof.

(iv) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its
legal inability to do so.

(h) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid by any Loan Party
pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including any Taxes with respect to such refund) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the receipt of such refund), provided that
such indemnifying party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.17(h) (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will any Issuing Lender or Lender be
required to pay any amount to any Loan Party the payment of which would place the Issuing Lender or
such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Issuing Lender or such Lender would
have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating
to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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

 

34

 

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

2.19 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.16 or 2.17(a) with respect to such Lender, it will,
if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of
such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event;
provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such
Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or
postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section
2.16 or 2.17(a). Each Lender may at any time and for any period, by notice to the Administrative
Agent and the Company, designate another lending office (including an Affiliate of a Lender) for
any Loans so long as such designation would not give rise to any additional obligation on the part
of any Borrower under Section 2.16 or 2.17(a).

2.20 Replacement of Lenders. The Company shall be permitted to replace any Lender
that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a), (b) is a
Defaulting Lender, or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification,
consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the
consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby and with respect to which
the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, with a replacement financial institution;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior
to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.19 so as to
eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a), (iv)
the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to
such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) each applicable Borrower shall be
liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.18 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced
Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi)
the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
(vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to
an Assignment and Acceptance and shall not be required to execute an Assignment and Acceptance),
(viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all
additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17(a), as the case may be, and
(ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that any Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

 

35

 

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

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6;

(b) the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action
hereunder, provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders
shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of any affected Lender or all affected Lenders or such Lender shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender that is an affected Lender or such Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Loans or L/C Obligations exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations shall be reallocated
among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages
but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions
of Credit does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and
(y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at such time; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the
Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the
Swingline Loans and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant
to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as
such L/C Obligations are outstanding, unless the Swingline Lender or the applicable Issuing
Lender, as applicable, have agreed on an alternate arrangement;

(iii) if the applicable Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.21(c), such
Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section
3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations
during the period of such collateralization;

(iv) if the Revolving Percentages of the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders
are reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant
to Section 3.3 shall be correspondingly adjusted for the benefit of such non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations is neither
cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to
any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder, all fees
that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 3.3 with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations shall be
payable to the applicable Issuing Lender until such Revolving Percentage of the L/C
Obligations is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

 

36

 

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue, amend or
increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100%
covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be
provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any
such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated
among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders
shall not participate therein);

(e) if no Swingline Loans or L/C Obligations then exist, or all the obligations of the
Defaulting Lender in respect of the outstanding Swingline Loans or L/C Obligations have been
reallocated, cash collateralized or prepaid as contemplated in paragraph (c)(i) or (ii) of this
Section 2.21, the Company shall have the right, notwithstanding Section 2.15, to terminate the
Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender only upon not less than three Business Days prior
notice to the Administrative Agent and payment in full on the date of such termination to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Defaulting Lender, of the principal and accrued
interest and fees then owing to such Defaulting Lender, with the Company remaining liable to such
Defaulting Lender under Section 2.18 if such payment is made in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto; and

(f) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder on account of any fees shall, in
lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a
segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to
the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders or Swingline
Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by an
Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding
obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in
any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which
such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Company, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the
Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline
Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such
Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Revolving Percentages of the non-Defaulting Lenders
shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date
such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline
Loans) as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such
Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.

 

37

 

2.22 Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary that
is (i) a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) a Manufacturing Subsidiary, as a Borrowing
Subsidiary upon ten Business Days notice, or shorter notice if acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (such notice to include the name, primary
business address and tax identification number of such proposed Borrowing Subsidiary). Upon proper
notice and receipt by the Administrative Agent of such documents and legal opinions as the
Administrative Agent in consultation with all the Lenders may reasonably request (including a legal
opinion that no withholding Tax is applicable with respect to any payment made by such Restricted
Subsidiary and, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary, any
documents contemplated to be delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary (and its Restricted
Subsidiaries and parent entities) pursuant to 6.9(c) were such Restricted Subsidiary a new Foreign
Subsidiary acquired on the date of designation of such new Borrowing Subsidiary) and subject to the
Administrative Agent’s determining in consultation with all the Lenders that designating such
Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary would not cause any Lender to suffer any economic,
legal or regulatory disadvantage (it being understood and agreed that no Lender shall be deemed to
suffer any such disadvantage on account of any withholding Tax being applicable to any payment made
by such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent that the applicable Loan Parties agree to treat any
such withholding Tax as an Indemnified Tax, in which case no legal opinion that no withholding Tax
is applicable shall be required), such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a
party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. A Restricted Subsidiary shall cease to be a
Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder at such time the Company gives at least ten Business Days prior
notice (or, shorter notice if acceptable to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders of its intention of terminating such Restricted Subsidiary as a Borrowing
Subsidiary, provided that any such termination shall not be effective and such Restricted
Subsidiary shall remain a Borrowing Subsidiary until such time as Loans to such Borrowing
Subsidiary and accrued interest thereon and all other amounts then due from such Borrowing
Subsidiary have been paid in full. In this connection, if outstanding Letters of Credit have been
issued for the account of a Borrowing Subsidiary but all its Loans and accrued interest thereon
have been paid in full, the Company shall be permitted to reallocate such Letters of Credit to
another Borrower for the purpose of terminating such Borrowing
Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary, provided that such reallocation would not cause
the applicable Issuing Lender to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and such
reallocation is documented in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Lender.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing
Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a),
agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Company or
any Borrowing Subsidiary on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as
may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that no Issuing Lender
shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance,
(i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the
Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be
denominated in Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or British Pound Sterling, as the case may be, and
(ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y)
the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that
any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods of up to one year
(but in no event shall any such renewal extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).
The letters of credit identified on Schedule 3.1 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall
be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Closing Date for all purposes of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such
issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any
limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

 

38

 

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Each Borrower may from time to time
request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such
Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, such Issuing Lender will verify with
the Administrative Agent whether the requested Letter of Credit is permitted under Section 3.1 and
following the receipt of such verification, such Issuing Lender will process such Application and
the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection
therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit
requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of
Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such
other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the
original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by
such Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower. Following receipt of such notice and prior to the
issuance of a requested Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar
Equivalent of such Letter of Credit if it is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars and
shall notify the Company and such Issuing Lender of the amount of the Total Revolving Extensions of
Credit after giving effect to (i) the issuance of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the issuance or
expiration of any other Letter of Credit that is to be issued or will expire prior to the requested
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (iii) the borrowing or repayment of any Revolving
Loans or Swingline Loans that (based upon notices delivered to the Administrative Agent by the
Company) are to be borrowed or repaid prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued only if (and upon issuance of each Letter of Credit the
relevant Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C Commitment
and (ii) the amount of the Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Revolving
Commitments. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in
turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including
the amount thereof).

3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding
Letters of Credit issued for its account at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in
effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Loans, shared ratably among the
Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In
addition, such Borrower shall pay to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting
fee in an amount agreed by the Company and such Issuing Lender on the undrawn and unexpired amount
of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee
Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) Unless otherwise specifically agreed with an Issuing Lender, in addition to the foregoing
fees, each Borrower shall pay or reimburse such Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs
and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting
payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued for the account of
such Borrower.

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and
hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of
Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and
purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of
Credit issued by it and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C
Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the
applicable Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay
to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an
amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any
part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against
such Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii)
the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of
the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial
or otherwise) of the applicable Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

 

39

 

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount
equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate
during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such
payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of
which is the number
of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such
amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available
to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such
payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum
applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Loans. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted
to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in
accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof,
such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share
thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by
such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant
shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing
Lender to it.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. If any draft is paid under any Letter
of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of
(a) the draft so paid and (b) any Taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such
Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on (A) if
such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars, (i) the Business Day after such Borrower receives
notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the second Business Day following the day that
such Borrower receives notice of such draft or (B) if such Letter of Credit is denominated in a
currency other than Dollars, three Business Days immediately following the day that such Borrower
receives notice of such draft. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its
address for notices referred to herein in the currency in which such draft is payable (except that,
in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in any currency other than Dollars, upon notice by
such Issuing Lender to the applicable Borrower, such payment shall be made in Dollars from and
after the date on which the amount of such payment shall have been converted into Dollars at the
Spot Exchange Rate on such date of conversion, which date of conversion shall be selected by such
Issuing Lender and may be any Business Day after the date on which such payment is due) in
immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which
the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business
Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.12(b) and (y) thereafter, Section
2.12(c); provided, that if any such amount is denominated in a currency other than Dollars
for any period, such interest shall be payable for such period at the Alternate Currency Overnight
Rate.

 

40

 

3.6 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 with
respect to any Letter of Credit issued for its account shall be absolute and unconditional under
any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that
such Borrower may have or have had against the applicable Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such
Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and such Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under
Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents
or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid,
fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower
and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit
may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of such Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter
of Credit or any such transferee. An Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. Each Borrower
agrees that any action taken or omitted by each Issuing Lender under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or the related drafts or documents, if
done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on such Borrower
and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lenders to such Borrower.

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

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

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

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

4.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated and unaudited consolidating balance
sheets of the Company as at December 29, 2007, December 27, 2008 and December 26, 2009, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such
dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report (in the case of such consolidated
financial statements) from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial
condition of the Company as at such date, and the consolidated and consolidating results of its
operations and its consolidated and consolidating cash flows for the respective fiscal years then
ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as at March 27, 2010 and June 26,
2010, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any

Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does the Company know of any valid

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information,
document or certificate was so furnished and taken together with any prior statements and
information (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the date of this
Agreement), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections contained in
the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by
management of the Company to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders
that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that
actual results
during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the
projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

of the certificated Pledged Stock described in Schedule 2 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
as of the Closing Date, stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock have been delivered to
the Administrative Agent (together with a properly completed and signed stock power or
endorsement), and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement as of the Closing Date, financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.19
in appropriate form have been filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19, and the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement constitutes a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all
right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as
security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case
prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than
certificated Pledged Stock, Liens permitted by Section 7.3). In the case of any certificated
Pledged Stock covered by the grant of a security interest pursuant to Section 3 of the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement but not described on Schedule 2 thereto, when stock certificates
representing such Pledged Stock have been delivered to the Administrative Agent (together with a
properly completed and signed stock power or endorsement), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
will constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the Loan Parties in such Pledged Stock and the proceeds thereof, as security for the
Obligations, prior and superior in right to any other Person.

expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any
kind are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or
such Person’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of
any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents
shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by
this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

 

63

 

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

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate
of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation
into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter
into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance
upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan
Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative
Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates.

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

 

64

 

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though
such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to
any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its
individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon 15 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company. If the Administrative
Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then
the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of
Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to any Borrower shall have occurred and be
continuing) be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties
of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent
effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on
the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders
of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date
that is 15 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders
shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section
9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

9.10 Documentation Agent and Syndication Agent. Neither the Documentation Agents nor
the Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

 

65

 

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10.1 or as provided in Section 2.3. The Required Lenders and each Loan
Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from
time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the
other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or
thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences;
provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or
modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity
of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in
connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which
waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) that any amendment or
modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend
the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of
any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby, provided that in the event of increases to the Total Revolving Commitment
pursuant to Section 2.3, only the consent of the Lenders committing to such increase shall be
required; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without
the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers of any of their rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of
the Collateral or release the Company or release all or substantially all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or
the Foreign Collateral Agreements, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv)
change Section 2.15(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby without the written consent of all Lenders (except such changes in connection with an
amendment, waiver or modification (A) that provides for a rate of interest for consenting Lenders
that is different than the rate of interest for non-consenting Lenders, or provides for accrued
interest to be paid pro rata to Lenders in accordance with the amount of interest owed to such
Lenders, (B) to permit the Company or any of its Affiliates to purchase, redeem, exchange or prepay
the Loans or (C) relating to the application of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to a
Defaulting Lender); (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of
any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the
Administrative Agent; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.4 or 2.5 without the
written consent of the Swingline Lender; or (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3
without the written consent of each Issuing Lender affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan
Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and
rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add
one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement or to increase the aggregate Revolving
Commitments by adding one or more lenders or increasing the Revolving Commitments of one or more
Lenders that have agreed to such increase, and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time
outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Extensions of Credit and
the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

 

66

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by each Lender to execute and deliver any
waivers, amendments and other modifications of the German Security Documents in connection with and
in furtherance of the European Restructuring, in each case without the consent of or any other
action by any Lender, and each Lender hereby agrees to be bound by any such waiver, amendment or
other modification with the same force and effect, and to the same extent, as if such Lender were a
party thereto.

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent

provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided
by law.

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered

10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or
therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one domestic counsel and one counsel in
each foreign jurisdiction of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording
fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Company
prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to

this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay,

actions, judgments, and suits of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the

to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses
of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings relating to the foregoing (all

provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with
respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its affiliates or their
respective officers, directors or employees. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law and to the extent relating to Indemnified Liabilities (other than those
covered by the proviso to the preceding sentence), the Company agrees not to assert and to cause
its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive,
all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands,
penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or
related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any
Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor. Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to
David Brady (Telephone No. (602) 414-9362) (Telecopy No. (602) 414-9462), at the address of the
Company set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter
designated by the Company in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this

Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to any Taxes other than as provided in paragraph (c) or
any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

68

 

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

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may (and,
within five days after notice by the Company to a Lender in accordance with Section 2.20, shall)
assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving
Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

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

(B) the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Lenders shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Revolving Commitments and Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitments and Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent)
shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment (and the
corresponding ratable portion of the Loans) unless each of the Company and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the
Company shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and
is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its
affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

 

69

 

(B) any assignment of all or any part of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall
include a ratable assignment of its Loans, and vice versa;

(C)(1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500
and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the
Administrative Agent;

(D) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit
contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Company and its Affiliates and their related parties or their
respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal
and state securities laws; and

(E) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no assignment shall
be
made to a prospective Assignee that bears a relationship to the Borrower described in
Section 108(e)(4) of the Code.

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from
and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder
shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive, and the Company, each other Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each
Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

70

 

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

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Revolving Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no participation shall be sold to a prospective
Participant that bears a relationship to the Borrower described in Section 108(e)(4) of the Code
and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for
the indemnity under Section 2.17(d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its
Participant(s). Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide
that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and the limitations of) Sections 2.16, 2.17
and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of
Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or
2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.19 and 2.20 as
if it were an assignee under this Section 10.6.

 

71

 

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

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

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

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular
Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of
the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section
10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or
otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender
shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the
Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits
of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and
benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by each
Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the Obligations becoming due and payable
at the stated maturity or by acceleration, to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff
or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in
any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such
Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrowers. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower and
the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

 

72

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

73

 

10.13 Acknowledgements. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with
the Borrowers arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan

the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of
debtor and creditor; and

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

10.14 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as
expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action reasonably requested by the Company having
the effect of releasing any Collateral or Guarantee Obligations (i) in connection with consummation
of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance
with Section 10.1 (including release of Liens on Collateral Disposed of or release of Guarantee
Obligations of, and Collateral owned by, any Restricted Subsidiary that ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary or in connection with the European Restructuring) or (ii) under the circumstances
described in paragraph (b) below.

(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under
the Loan Documents (other than obligations under or in respect of Swap Agreements or obligations in
respect of indemnities or expense reimbursement obligations for which no amount is claimed owing at
the time) shall have been paid in full, the Revolving Commitments have been terminated and no
Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (other than those Letters of Credit to which the applicable
Issuing Lender has agreed to an alternate arrangement), the Collateral shall be released from the
Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than
those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party

10.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep
confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement in accordance with the customary
procedures of such agent or such Lender; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the
Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative
Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the
provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective
Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement or other derivatives (or
any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) on a confidential basis, to its employees,
directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its
affiliates, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any
order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
Requirement of Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or
similar proceeding (after giving notice to the Company), (g) that has been publicly disclosed, (h)
on a confidential basis, to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a
Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i)
in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (j) if

74

 

Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers and their
Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it
will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable
law, including Federal and state securities laws.

All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrowers or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrowers and their Affiliates and their related parties or their respective
securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that

applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

10.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS

RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

10.17 No Fiduciary Duty. The Borrowers agree that nothing in the Loan Documents or
otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or
other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, their stockholders or
their affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and
thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the
Borrowers, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x)
no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers, their
stockholders or their affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the
exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective
of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrowers, their
stockholders or their Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrowers except
the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as
principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrowers, their management, stockholders,
creditors or any other Person. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Borrowers have
consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate and that
they
are responsible for making their own independent judgment with respect to such transactions
and the process leading thereto. The Borrowers agree that it will not claim that any Lender has
rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the
Borrowers, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

75

 

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

10.19 Consent to Amendment and Restatement. Upon the Closing Date, this Agreement
shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement. All commitments of the Existing Lenders
under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated upon effectiveness of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 5.1. The Lenders party hereto comprising the “Required Lenders” under the
Existing Credit Agreement acknowledge and agree that (i) the Existing Agreement is hereby amended
and restated, effective as of the Closing Date, as provided for herein, and (ii) prior notice by
the Borrowers of (a) prepayment of the Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement and (b)
termination of the Revolving Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement, is hereby waived.

Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such participation interests in LC Exposure and Swingline
Loans outstanding on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after
giving effect to all such repayments and reborrowings and assignments and purchases, such Revolving
Loans and participation interests in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans will be held by Pre-Amendment
Revolving Lenders and Additional Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving
Credit Commitments after giving effect to the Additional Revolving Credit Commitments.

     Section 3. Conversion of Term B-1 Loans

     6.1 this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and each
Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each
Guarantor enforceable against the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except
as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally;

     6.2 each of the representations and warranties contained in Article III of the Credit
Agreement and in each other Loan Document is true and correct in all material respects (except that
any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect”
shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same effect as if then made (unless expressly
stated to relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be
true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty that is
qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all
respects) as of such earlier date);

     6.3 no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

     6.4 after giving effect to this Amendment, neither the modification of the Credit Agreement
affected pursuant to this Amendment nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of
this Amendment (a) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to
any Loan Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of
all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (b) requires that any new filings be
made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens, other than the
Mortgage Amendments.

connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.

5

 

     8.1 As of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this

provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force
and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, the Borrower,
Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver
or amendment of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents or for any purpose except as
expressly set forth herein.

     8.4 This Amendment is a Loan Document.

     Section 9. Execution in Counterparts

     This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts (including by

jurisdiction or as applied to any person.

made pursuant to Section 2.01 on such immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount
equal to the amount of such Swingline Loan, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.02

 

 

shall be followed in making such ABR Revolving Loans; provided that for the purposes
of determining each Lender’s Commitment Percentage with respect to such Borrowing, the Swingline
Loan to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be deemed to not be outstanding. The
proceeds of such ABR Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay such Swingline Loan.

          (c) If, for any reason, ABR Revolving Loans may not be, or are not, made pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section 2.04 to repay any Swingline Loan as required by such paragraph,
effective on the date such ABR Revolving Loans would otherwise have been made, each Revolving
Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, without regard to the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, purchase a participating interest in such Swingline
Loan (“Unrefunded Swingline Loan”) in an amount equal to the amount of the ABR Revolving
Loan which would otherwise have been made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section
2.04. Each Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in
immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such
participations shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender. All
payments by the Revolving Lenders in respect of Unrefunded Swingline Loans and participations
therein shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a
participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs if a Default or Event of
Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Swingline
Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in writing prior to the time
such Swingline Loan was made, that such Default or Event of Default or such Event of Termination
has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while
such Default or Event of Default or such Event of Termination is continuing.

          SECTION 2.05. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans; Repayments of Loans. (a)
Subject to the terms of Section 6.10(c), the Borrower may at any time and from time to time
prepay the Loans made to it (subject to compliance with the terms of Section 2.17), in
whole or in part, subject to Sections 2.05(e)(iii) and 2.05(g), upon irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, two Business Days
prior to the date of such prepayment, specifying (i) the date and amount of prepayment, and (ii)
the Class of Loans to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a
combination thereof (including in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowing to which such
prepayment is to be applied and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each). Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.
Partial prepayments of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be (a) in the case of any Term
Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in
excess thereof and (b) in the case of Revolving Credit Borrowings, in an aggregate principal amount
of $1.0 million or a whole multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof (or in each case, if less,
the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof). Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall
be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
(or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof).

          (b) In the event and on such occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings or
Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in the
account established with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j)) in an
aggregate amount equal to such excess.

 

 

          (c) (i) If the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Proceeds
from any Asset Sale (other than the sale or issuance of Equity Interests of the Borrower), 100% of
such Net Proceeds shall be applied within two Business Days after receipt thereof toward the
prepayment of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis or a prepayment of Revolving Loans as set forth in
Section 2.05(e); provided that (x) the Net Proceeds from Asset Sales permitted by
Section 6.05 shall not be required to be applied as provided herein on such date if and to
the extent that (1) no Event of Default then exists or would arise therefrom and (2) the Borrower
delivers an officers’ certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Asset
Sale stating that such Net Proceeds shall be reinvested in Property used or usable in the business
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in each case within one year following the date of such Asset
Sale (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), and (y)
if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds not so applied as provided herein is not so used within
such one year period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as
specified in this Section 2.05(c)(i); provided, further, if the Property
subject to such Asset Sale constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then any capital
assets purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be mortgaged or
pledged, as the case may be, to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the
other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.11.

          (ii) If the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive proceeds from insurance
or condemnation recoveries in respect of any Destruction or any proceeds or awards in respect of
any Taking, 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied immediately after receipt thereof
toward the prepayment of the Term Loans on a pro rata basis or a prepayment of Revolving Loans as
set forth in Section 2.05(e) below; provided that (x) such Net Proceeds shall not
be required to be so applied to the extent that the Borrower has delivered an officers’ certificate
to the Administrative Agent promptly following the receipt of such Net Proceeds stating that such
proceeds shall be used to (1) repair, replace or restore any Property in respect of which such Net
Proceeds were paid or (2) fund the substitution of other Property used or usable in the business of
the Borrower or the Subsidiaries, in each case within one year following the date of the receipt of
such Net Proceeds, and (y) if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds not so applied as provided
herein is not so used within one year after the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds, such
remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in this Section
2.05(c)(ii); provided, further, if the Property subject to such Destruction or
Taking constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then any replacement or substitution
Property purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be mortgaged or
pledged, as the case may be, to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the
other Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.11.

          (iii) If the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall incur or permit the incurrence
of any Indebtedness (including pursuant to debt securities which are convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for, any Equity Interest or Equity Rights) (other than Excluded Debt
Issuances) (each, a “Debt Incurrence”), 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied
within two Business Days after receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Loans in accordance
with Section 2.05(e).

          (iv) If, for any Excess Cash Flow Period, there shall be Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash
Flow Period, the Excess Cash Flow Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow shall be applied, not later
than 10 Business Days after the date financial statements with respect to the Fiscal Year then
ending are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b), toward the prepayment of
the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(e).

          (v) As contemplated by Section 2.21(a)(ii)(X), until such time as the Term B-1 Loans
have been repaid in full, the net proceeds received by the Borrower from the Add-On Term Loans

 

 

(other than up to $75,000,000 of the Add-On Term Loans which may be used by the Borrower for
general corporate purposes) shall be applied by the Borrower upon receipt thereof toward the
prepayment of the Term B-1 Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(e).

          (d) (i) The Borrower shall repay the Term B-1 Loans on the consecutive quarterly payment dates
set forth below in an aggregate amount equal to the amount specified below for each such payment
date.

Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date.

          (v) Any Add-On Term Loans shall be due and payable in installments on the dates and in the
amounts set forth in the applicable Add-On Term Loan Lender Joinder Agreement.

          (e) (i) Mandatory prepayments of Loans made pursuant Section 2.05(c)(i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) will be applied to the then outstanding Term Loans on a pro rata
basis to reduce the applicable scheduled repayments with respect thereto required under Section
2.05(d) on a pro rata basis among the remaining scheduled repayments of the
Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and the Add-On Term Loan. Mandatory prepayments of Term B-1
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(v) will be applied to the then outstanding Term B-1
Loans to reduce the scheduled repayments with respect thereto under Section 2.05(d) on a
pro rata basis.

          (ii) After all the then outstanding amounts under the Term Loans have been paid in full,
mandatory prepayments of Loans required by Section 2.05(c) shall be applied to repay the
outstanding Revolving Loans, which prepayment shall also result in the Revolving Credit Commitments
being reduced ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable
Revolving Credit Commitments (provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving
Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because Letters
of Credit constitute a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such
excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit an amount in cash in a cash collateral
account established with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on terms
and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

          (iii) Optional prepayments of Loans shall be applied as elected by the Borrower;
provided that optional prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans
to the remaining scheduled amortization payments of the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and the
Add-On Term Loans on a pro rata basis.

          (f) If on any day on which Loans would otherwise be required to be prepaid pursuant to this
Section 2.05, but for the operation of this Section 2.05(f) (each a “Prepayment
Date”), the amount of such required prepayment exceeds the then outstanding aggregate principal
amount of ABR Loans which are of the Class required to be prepaid, and no Default or Event of
Default exists or is continuing, then on such Prepayment Date, (i) the Borrower shall deposit funds
into the Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess, and only the outstanding ABR Loans
which are of the Class required to be prepaid shall be required to be prepaid on such Prepayment
Date, and (ii) on the last day of each Interest Period ending on or after such Prepayment Date in
effect with respect to a Eurodollar Loan which is of the Class required to be prepaid, the
Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized and directed to apply funds from the Collateral
Account (and liquidate investments held in the Collateral

 

 

          Account as necessary) to prepay such Eurodollar Loans for which the Interest Period is then
ending to the extent funds are available in the Collateral Account.

          SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.

          (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may
request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from
time to time on the Original Effective Date or during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. In
the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower
to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

          (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request
the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter
of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication,
if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the
name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the
Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of
Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50.0 million and
(ii) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen” automatic renewal
provision, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal
provided that all of the requirements of this Section 2.06 are met and no Default or Event
of Default exists at the time such Letter of Credit is issued, extended or renewed. The Issuing
Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at that time
a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery
of cash collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate
the Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and
all other L/C Disbursements as to which the Issuing Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure,
as it may elect. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower, the rules
of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit
issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a
Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that
the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

          (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of
Credit (or, in

 

 

the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and
(ii) September 25, 2014.

          (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each
Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each LC
Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be
refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and
that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
whatsoever. It is understood and agreed that with respect to any Letters of Credit having an expiry
date later than June 23, 2012, only the Extending Revolving Lenders shall have a participation
interest in such Letters of Credit (each such participation interest to be based on such Extending
Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of only those aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments with
a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of September 30, 2014).

          (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received written notice of such
LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such written notice
has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such written notice,
if such written notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt,
or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such written
notice, if such written notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;
provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein,
request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving
Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving
Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the
payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Commitment
Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to
the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving
Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the
Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt
by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then
to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by
a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or

 

 

a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. It is understood and agreed that
with respect to any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit having an expiry date later
than June 23, 2012, only the Extending Revolving Lenders shall have a reimbursement obligation with
respect to such Letter of Credit (each such reimbursement obligation to be based on such Extending
Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of only those aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments with
a Revolving Credit Maturity Date of September 30, 2014).

          (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as
provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under
any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or
other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that
does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of
setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability
or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of
Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or
delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to
any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the
Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank
from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise
care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply
with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such
determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the
parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole
discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.

          (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made
or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank
and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

          (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement
is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date
such LC

 

 

Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC
Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that
if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e)
of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.08(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant
to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the
extent of such payment

          (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the
successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement
of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall
pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing
Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to
such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with
respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to
issue additional Letters of Credit.

          (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral
pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in the Collateral Account an amount in cash
equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective
immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other
notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower
described in clause (a) of Section 7.01 or any Event of Default described in
clause (i) of Section 7.01. Furthermore, if any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall
deposit in the Collateral Account, for the sole benefit of such Issuing Bank, an amount in cash
equal to each such Issuing Bank’s applicable Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting
Lender. Each such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Borrower hereby grants
the Collateral Agent a security interest in respect of each such deposit and the Collateral Account
in which such deposits are held. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control,
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Collateral Account. Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole
discretion of the Collateral Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not
bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Collateral
Account. Moneys deposited in the Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.06(j) shall
be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it
has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of
the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity
of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash
collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a
Defaulting Lender, such amount together with interest income (if any) (to the extent not applied as
aforesaid) shall be

 

 

returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults or Events of Default
have been cured or waived or after the date on which such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender,
as applicable.

          SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a)(i) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders
in respect of Revolving Credit Borrowings, (A) on June 30, 2012 (or such earlier date as, and to
the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or
Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan having a Revolving Credit
Maturity Date of June 30, 2012 and that portion of each Swingline Loan outstanding participated in
by a Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and (B) on September 30, 2014 (or such
earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to
Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan having a Revolving
Credit Maturity Date of September 30, 2014 and each Swingline Loan made to it by each such Lender,
(ii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Term B-1 Lenders on the Term B-1 Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the
extent that, such Term B-1 Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or
Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Term B-1 Loan held by each such Term B-1
Lender, (iii) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Term B-2 Lenders on the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to
the extent that, such Term B-2 Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or
Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Term B-2 Loan held by each such Term B-2
Lender and (iv) the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Add-On Term Loan Lenders on the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier
date as, and to the extent that, such Add-On Term Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to
Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Add-On Term Loan
held by each such Add-On Term Loan Lender,. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in
immediately available funds at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent (as specified in
Section 2.13(a)) on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans,
Term B-1 Loans, Term B-2 Loans and Add-On Term Loans, as applicable, made to it from time to time
from the Original Effective Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the
dates, set forth in Section 2.08. All payments required hereunder shall be made in
Dollars.

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender
resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from
time to time under this Agreement.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.04,
and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be
recorded (i) the amount of each such Loan, the Class and Type of each such Loan and the Interest
Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in
respect of each such Loan and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs
(b) and (c) of this Section 2.07 and the Notes maintained pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section 2.07 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or
any

 

 

error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with
applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

          (e) The Loans of each Class made by each Lender to the Borrower shall, if requested by the
applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a
single Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower, in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G-1, G-2, G-3 or G-4, as applicable, with the blanks
appropriately filled, payable to the order of such Lender.

          SECTION 2.08. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) for
each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to:

     (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, (A) the LIBO Rate determined for such
Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Rate; or

     (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Term Loan, (A) the LIBO Rate determined for such
Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Rate.

          (b) Each ABR Loan (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest (computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, or over a
year of 360 days when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (c) of
the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) If (A) all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable
thereon or (iii) any Commitment Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due
(whether at the stated maturity thereof or by acceleration or otherwise) or (B) an Event of Default
described in Section 7.01(i) shall be continuing, such overdue amount (in the case of
clause (A)) and all Obligations (in the case of clause (B)) shall bear interest at
a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal (except as otherwise
provided in clause (y) below), the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08 plus 2.00% per
annum or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, Commitment Fee or other amount, the rate
described in Section 2.08(b) applicable to an ABR Revolving Loan plus 2.00%
per annum, in each case from the date of such nonpayment (in the case of clause
(A)) or such Event of Default (in the case of clause (B)) to (but excluding) the date
on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment) (in the case of clause
(A)) or such Event of Default is cured (in the case of clause (B)).

          (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Term B-1
Loan Maturity Date (in the case of Term B-1 Loans), the Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date (in the case of
Term B-2 Loans), the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of Add-On Term Loans) and the
applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date (in the case of Revolving Loans); provided, that
(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand,
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
Interest in respect of each Loan shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest
Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

 

 

          SECTION 2.09. Computation of Interest. Each determination of an interest rate by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on
the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

          SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay a commitment fee (a
“Commitment Fee”) to each Revolving Lender, for which payment will be made in arrears
through the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December
beginning after the Original Effective Date, and on the Commitment Fee Termination Date (as defined
below). The Commitment Fee due to each Revolving Lender shall commence to accrue for a period
commencing on the Original Effective Date (or, in the case of a Revolving Lender which becomes a
Revolving Lender after the Original Effective Date, the date on which such Revolving Lender becomes
a Revolving Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.04(b)) and shall cease to accrue on the
date (the “Commitment Fee Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date on which
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender shall be terminated as provided herein and
(ii) the first date after the end of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. The Commitment Fee
accrued to each Revolving Lender shall equal the Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by
such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount (as defined below) for the applicable
quarter (or shorter period commencing on the Original Effective Date (or, in the case of a
Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender after the Original Effective Date, the date on
which such Revolving Lender becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder pursuant to Section
10.04(b)) and ending with such Lender’s Commitment Fee Termination Date). A Revolving Lender’s
“Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount” with respect to a calculation period shall equal the
average daily amount during such period calculated using the daily amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment less such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
(excluding clause (c) of the definition thereof for purposes of determining the Commitment
Fee Average Daily Amount only) for any applicable days during the Revolving Credit Commitment
Period. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in
a year of 360 days.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which
shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average
daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to
unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Effective Date to
but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to
the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Original Effective Date to but excluding
the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which
there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees (collectively, “LC Fees”) accrued through
and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year during the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period shall be payable on the last Business Day of such March, June,
September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Original Effective
Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving
Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving
Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand therefor. All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day).

 

 

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative fee set forth in
the Fee Letter (the “Agent Fees”).

          (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the
Administrative Agent for distribution. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable.

          SECTION 2.11. Termination, Reduction or Adjustment of Commitments. (a) Unless
previously terminated, (i) the Term B-1 Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 pm., New York City
time, on the Amendment Effective Date and (ii) the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments shall
terminate on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

          (b) The Borrower shall have the right, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative
Agent, to terminate or, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be
permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective
date thereof, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.

          (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Revolving Lenders, on each date of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments,
the Commitment Fee on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced
accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.

          (d) To the extent any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments reduces the then Available
Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders to an amount equal to or less than the sum of (a) the
Swingline Sublimit and (b) the maximum allowable L/C Exposure, then such reduction in Revolving
Credit Commitments shall reduce on a pro rata basis the Swingline Commitment and
the maximum amount of LC Exposure permitted by Section 2.06(b) by an amount such that the
then Available Revolving Credit Commitments are equal to or less than the sum of (a) and
(b).

          SECTION 2.12. Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Unavailability of Deposits; Inadequacy
of Interest Rate. If prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days before the first day
of any Interest Period, including an initial Interest Period, for a requested Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

     (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a majority in interest of
the Lenders of the applicable Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of
making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and
to the Lenders by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same day. The Administrative Agent shall
give facsimile or telephonic notice to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable after
the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and until such notice has been given,
any

 

 

affected Eurodollar Loans shall not be (x) converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.03
or (y) made pursuant to a Borrowing Request, and shall be continued or made as an ABR Loans, as the
case may be.

          SECTION 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the amounts of such
Revolving Lenders’ Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the
Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are ABR Loans shall be made
pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such ABR
Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class, with adjustments, as necessary and
appropriate, to reflect the different interest rates payable with respect to Revolving Loans
depending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Revolving Loans and payment of principal to
Non-Extending Lenders on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Subject to Section
2.05(f), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of
and interest on Loans which are Eurodollar Loans designated by the Borrower to be applied to a
particular Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class, with
adjustments, as necessary and appropriate, to reflect the different interest rates payable with
respect to Revolving Loans depending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date of such Revolving Loans
and payment of principal to Non-Extending Lenders on their Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Subject
to Section 2.05(f), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of
principal of and interest on Swingline Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Swingline Loans or participating interests therein, as the
case may be, then held by the relevant Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by
the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made
without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the due
date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class,
at the Administrative Agent’s New York office specified in Section 10.01 in the currency in
which the applicable obligation is denominated and in immediately available funds. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto in the same
currency as received and promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder
(other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to
payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with
respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding
Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.13(a) shall prohibit the
Borrower from paying, on June 30, 2012, the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan having a
Revolving Credit Maturity Date of June 30, 2012 in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07.

          (b) Subject to Section 2.12, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would
constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and
the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the
required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate
for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. If such Lender’s share of such

 

 

Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of
such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with
interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand, from
the Borrower, but without prejudice to any right or claim that the Borrower may have against such
Lender.

          (c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent from the Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements,
interest and fees then due hereunder from the Borrower, such funds shall be applied (i)
first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder from the Borrower, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due from the Borrower to such parties.

          SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption
of or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this
Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue
Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended
until such time as the making or maintaining of Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be unlawful, and
(b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted
automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with
respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.

          SECTION 2.15. Requirements of Law. (a) If at any time any Lender or the Issuing Bank
determines that the introduction after the Original Effective Date of, or any change after the
Original Effective Date in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements
included in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the compliance by such Lender or the Issuing
Bank with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such
Lender or the Issuing Bank for agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar
Loans or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, then the Borrower shall
from time to time, within five Business Days of demand therefor by such Lender or the Issuing Bank
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender or the Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender
or the Issuing Bank for such increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for calculating the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. Such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event,
such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required
fully to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such increased cost or
reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable directly to such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as applicable, within five Business Days of the Borrower’s receipt of such notice, and such
notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

          (b) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other
Governmental Authority in each case after the Original Effective Date affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to

 

 

be maintained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (or a holding company controlling such Lender or the
Issuing Bank) and such Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in its sole and absolute
discretion) that the rate of return on its capital (or the capital of its holding company, as the
case may be) as a consequence of its Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans made by it or its
participations in Swingline Loans or any issuance, participation or maintenance of Letters of
Credit is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or its holding
company) could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such
case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to the Borrower, the Borrower
shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or its holding company) for such
reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender or the Issuing Bank as to any such
additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its
sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

          (c) In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance
that will lead to a claim under this Section 2.15 has occurred or will occur, the Issuing
Bank or such Lender will use its best efforts to so notify the Borrower; provided that,
subject to the next succeeding sentence, any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair
the rights of the Issuing Bank or such Lender to demand and receive compensation under this
Section 2.15, but without prejudice to any claims of the Borrower for compensation for
actual damages sustained as a result of any failure to observe this undertaking. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to
this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine
months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the
Borrower of the event or circumstances giving rise to a right of claim pursuant to this Section
2.15 and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the event or circumstances giving rise to such right of claim is retroactive, then
the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).

          SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) All payments by the Loan Parties of principal of, and
interest on, the Loans and all other amounts (including fees) payable hereunder shall be made
without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, any and all present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other
taxes, fees, duties, assessments, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender (or any assignee of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or a Participant or
a change in designation of the lending office of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be
(a “Transferee”)), including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto
(“Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required to
be withheld by applicable law, rule or regulation from any payment by a Loan Party, such Loan Party
shall withhold and remit such Taxes in accordance with such requirement. In the event that any
withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Loan Party hereunder or under any other
Loan Documents is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule
or regulation then such Loan Party will:

     (i) timely pay directly to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law the
full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

     (ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other
documentation (or copy thereof) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
evidencing such payment to such authority; and

 

 

     (iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing
Bank or Transferees, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as are necessary
to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender or the Issuing Bank or
Transferees, as the case may be, will equal the full amount such Lender or the Issuing Bank
or Transferees, as the case may be, would have received had no such withholding or deduction
(including any withholding or deduction applicable to additional amounts payable under this
Section 2.16) been required.

For purposes hereof, “Indemnified Taxes” shall mean all Taxes other than Taxes imposed on
or measured by the recipient’s net income or taxable capital by a jurisdiction under the laws of
which such Lender or Transferee is organized or incorporated or in which its principal executive
office or applicable lending office is located or in which it conducts a trade or business or has a
permanent establishment (other than a trade, business or permanent establishment deemed to arise by
virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or is otherwise subject to such Taxes
without regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided,
however, in the case of a Lender or a Transferee that is an affiliate of a Lender and that
is a United States person within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and that makes and holds its Loans through a lending office
located in the United States (such Lender and any such Transferee referred to herein as a “U.S.
Taxpayer Lender”), Indemnified Taxes shall include any Taxes imposed on or measured by the
recipient’s net income or taxable capital by any jurisdiction other than the United States or a
State or any political subdivision of the United States or a State (as the terms “United States”
and “State” are defined in sections 7701(a)(9) and 7701(a)(10) of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to which such U.S. Taxpayer Lender would not have been subject
but for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (an “Indemnified Foreign Tax”)).

          (b) The Loan Parties agree to timely pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary
taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including interest, fines
and penalties in addition to tax) arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the
execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan
Document (“Other Taxes”).

          (c) If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any payment received by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee hereunder or under any other
Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee may pay
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the applicable Loan Party will promptly pay such
additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order
that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including
any Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) or Other Taxes shall equal the amount such Person
would have received had such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes not been asserted. In addition, the
Borrower shall also reimburse each Lender or Transferee or the Issuing Bank, upon the written
request of such Lender or Transferee or the Issuing Bank, for net additional taxes imposed on or
measured by the net income of such Person pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such
Person is organized or incorporated, or a jurisdiction in which the principal executive office or
lending office of such Person is located or in which such Person conducts a trade or business or
has a permanent establishment, or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority
of any such jurisdiction, as such Person shall determine are or were payable by such Person, in
respect of amounts payable to such Person pursuant to this Section 2.16 in respect of
Indemnified Taxes imposed as a consequence of payments by the Borrower, taking into account the
amount of Indemnified Taxes (x) that are allowed as a deduction in determining taxes imposed on or
measured by the net income or allowed as a credit against any taxes imposed on or

 

 

measured by net income and (y) in respect of which an amount is payable to such Person
pursuant to this Section 2.16.

          (d) If the Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Bank, the respective Lenders or Transferees, the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Issuing Bank, Lenders and Transferees for
any incremental Indemnified Taxes, Taxes, Other Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may become payable by the Issuing Bank,
any Lender or Transferee as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section
2.16, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent to or for the account of the Issuing
Bank, any Lender or Transferee shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

          (e) Each Lender or Transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America or any state or political subdivision thereof shall, on or prior to
the Original Effective Date (in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto on the Original
Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment, participation or change in the
designated lending office hereunder (in the case of a Transferee), execute and deliver, if legally
able to do so, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) one or more (as the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request) accurate and complete original signed copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN or such other forms or documents (or
successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the
extent, if any, to which a payment to such Lender or Transferee is exempt from or entitled to a
reduced rate of withholding or deduction of Taxes or (ii) if the Lender or Transferee is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income
tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit P (any such certificate, a “Section 2.16 Certificate”) and (y) two accurate
and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the
portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s or Transferor’s
entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect
to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each
Lender and Transferee agrees that from time to time after the Original Effective Date, when a lapse
in time or change in the Lender’s or Transferee’s circumstances renders the previous certification
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will, to the extent legally able to do so,
deliver to the Borrower or the Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax
treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 2.16
Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or
establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United
States withholding tax with respect to payments under the Loan Documents.

          (f) No Borrower shall be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to the Issuing
Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to this Section
2.16 to the extent that (i) any obligation of the Borrower to withhold, deduct or pay amounts
with respect to such Indemnified Tax (other than a Tax imposed by Canada and other than an
Indemnified Foreign Tax) existed under generally accepted interpretation and application of the law
on the date the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee, other than a U.S. Taxpayer Lender,
became a party to this Agreement or otherwise becomes a Transferee, except to the extent that, at
the time such Lender or Transferee becomes a party to this Agreement or otherwise becomes a
Transferee, such Person’s assignor was already entitled to receive indemnification or additional
amounts from a Loan Party with respect to any such Indemnified Tax under the provisions hereunder;
provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Tax imposed on a Lender or
Transferee in connection with an interest or participation in any Loan or

 

 

other obligation that such Lender or Transferee was required to acquire pursuant to
Section 2.19, (ii) to the extent such Indemnified Taxes are imposed solely because any
Lender or Transferee fails to timely provide the forms or certificates required by the provisions
of the immediately preceding paragraph or (iii) in the case of a payment of a U.S. source fee
(other than a fee treated as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to a Lender or
Transferee, other than a U.S. Taxpayer Lender, described in clause (ii) of Section
2.16(e), to the extent that such forms or certificates do not establish a complete exemption
from U.S. withholding taxes with respect to such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, it is understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligation of the Loan
Parties to indemnify for Indemnified Taxes withheld or deducted from any payment (including,
without limitation, fees) to be made by the Loan Parties hereunder and to pay additional amounts
under this Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any and all Indemnified Taxes imposed
on or with respect to the Issuing Bank and each Lender and Transferee with respect to any other
Tax, as a result of, a change in law or regulation or a change in the interpretation or application
thereof by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person occurring after the time
such Person becomes a party to this Agreement.

          (g) In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance
that will lead to a claim by it under this Section 2.16 has occurred, the Issuing Bank or
such Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to so notify the Borrower; provided
that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Transferee to demand and receive compensation under this
Section 2.16.

          (h) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 2.16 to a Lender and
such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually realized in connection therewith
a refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities (a “Tax Benefit”) such
Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine
is equal to the after-tax net benefit obtained, if any, by the Lender as consequence of such Tax
Benefit net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Benefit);
provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion
consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are
imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of
any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any
Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.16(h) shall be treated as Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify
such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16; (iii) nothing in this Section 2.16(h)
shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to any Loan Party (including,
without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no
event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment which would place
such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the
additional amounts giving rise to such Tax Benefits had never been paid.

          SECTION 2.17. Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense
(including any loss (other than lost profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any
portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount
of any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan) as a result of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to an ABR
Loan or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan on a date other than
the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section
2.03, 2.05, 2.07 2.14, 2.15 or 2.20 or otherwise, or
any failure to borrow or convert any Eurodollar Loan after notice thereof shall have been given
hereunder, whether by reason of any failure to satisfy a condition to such Borrowing or otherwise,
then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower with respect to such Loan shall, within five Business Days of its

 

 

receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable
determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice
(which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.18. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon
the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14, 2.15 or
2.16 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by the Borrower,
use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or
Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made
on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its respective lending
offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided,
further, that nothing in this Section 2.18 shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to Sections
2.14, 2.15 and 2.16.

          SECTION 2.19. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the
exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower (in each case to
the extent permitted hereunder), or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of
the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured
claim received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or
otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans
or participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable as a result of
which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements which at the
time shall be due and payable shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of
such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed
simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to
such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements as prior
to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided,
however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to
this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price
or prices or adjustments restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or an LC
Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien,
setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by
reason thereof as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor directly to the Borrower in the
amount of such participation.

          SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event
that (a) any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.14
or 2.15 or the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under
Section 2.16 (each, an “Increased Cost Lender”), or (b) a Lender is a Defaulting
Lender then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender or Defaulting Lender (the
“Terminated Lender”), the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own
expense, upon notice to such Terminated Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such
Terminated Lender with (x) another Lender or (y) an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 10.04), and such Terminated Lender hereby agrees to
transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such
other Lender or assignee; provided, however, that no Terminated Lender shall be
obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or
any rule, regulation or order of

 

 

any Governmental Authority and (ii) the affected Terminated Lender shall have been paid in
immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to
the date of payment on the Loans made by such Terminated Lender and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such Terminated Lender and all commitment fees and other
fees owed to such Terminated Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Terminated
Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including, without limitation, any Commitment Fees).

          SECTION 2.21. Increase in Commitments.

          (a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent
elect to increase the existing Revolving Credit Commitment and/or institute an Add-On Term Loan by
an amount not in excess of $250,000,000 in the aggregate as follows:

          (i) Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may from time to time at
any time prior to September 30, 2014, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent request
to increase the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each,
an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the increased Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after
the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of
each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such increased Revolving Credit
Commitment be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing
Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased Revolving Credit Commitment may
elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased Revolving Credit Commitment.

     (A) Conditions. The increased Revolving Credit Commitment shall become
effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:

     (I) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied;

     (II) any such increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

     (III) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the
borrowings made on the Increase Effective Date, if any;

     (IV) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other
documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such
transaction; and

     (V) the Borrower shall deliver mortgage amendments sufficient to cover the full amount
of the increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments, pursuant to documentation reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

     (B) Terms of New Revolving Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of
Revolving Loans made pursuant to increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical
to the Revolving Loans. The increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be effected by a
joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased Revolving Credit Commitment, in
form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the
consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to
effect the provisions of

 

 

this Section 2.21. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein,
all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context
otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Loans made pursuant to increased
Revolving Credit Commitments made pursuant to this Agreement.

     (C) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. Each of the Revolving Lenders having a
Revolving Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving
Lenders”) shall assign to any Revolving Lender which is acquiring a new or additional
Revolving Commitment on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving
Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each
Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the
Revolving Loans and participation interests in LC Exposure and Swingline Loans outstanding
on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to
all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in LC
Exposure and Swingline Loans will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and
Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after
giving effect to such increased Revolving Commitments.

     (D) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Revolving Credit Commitment established
pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Revolving Credit Commitments under, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and
security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any
actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that
the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected
under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such increased
Revolving Credit Commitment.

          (ii) Institution of Add-On Term Loan. The Borrower may from time to time at any time
prior to September 30, 2016, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, institute one
or more Add-On Term Loans. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (the “Add-On Term Loan
Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Add-On Term Loan shall be advanced,
which shall be a date not less than 20 days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the
Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing) and
(ii) the identity of each Person to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Add-On Term Loan
be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender
approached to provide all or a portion of the Add-On Term Loan may elect or decline, in its sole
discretion, to provide such Add-On Term Loan.

     (A) Conditions. The institution of the Add-On Term Loan shall be subject to
the following conditions:

     (I) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied;

     (II) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Add-On
Term Loan made on the Add-On Term Loan Effective Date, if any;

     (III) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other
documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such
transaction;

     (IV) the Borrower shall deliver mortgage amendments sufficient to cover the full amount
of the Add-On Term Loan, pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent;

 

 

     (V) any institution of the Add-On Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of
$50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000;

     (VI) an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
compliance certificate demonstrating that, upon giving effect to the institution of the
Add-On Term Loan on a Pro Forma Basis, the Borrower would be in compliance with the
financial covenants contained in Section 6.13 as at the date of the last ended Test
Period, as if such advance of the Add-On Term Loan occurred as of the first day of the
relevant Test Period;

     (VII) the Add-On Term Loan Maturity Date shall be as set forth in the Add-On Term Loan
Joinder Agreement; provided, that, such date shall not be earlier than the
Term B-2 Loan Maturity Date;

     (VIII) the scheduled principal amortization payments under each Add-On Term Loan shall
be as set forth in the Add-On Term Loan Joinder Agreement; provided, that,
the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Add-On Term Loan shall not be less than the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B-2 Loans;

     (IX) the all-in-yield of each Add-On Term Loan shall be as set forth in the Add-On
Term Loan Joinder Agreement (it being understood that “all-in-yield” shall be determined
after taking into account original issue discount (assuming a four year average life), fees
(other than bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring or similar fees not generally
shared with the applicable Lenders) and interest rate (including any applicable LIBOR
floor)), provided, that, in the event that the all-in-yield for such Add-On
Term Loan is fifty basis points (0.50%) or more greater than the all-in-yield for the Term
B-2 Loans, the all-in-yield for the Term B-2 Loans shall be increased such that the
all-in-yield for the Term B-2 Loans is fifty basis points (0.50%) less than the
all-in-yield for such Add-On Term Loan; and

     (X) until such time as the Term B-1 Loans have been repaid in full, only up to
$75,000,000 of the Add-On Term Loan may be used by the Borrower for general corporate
purposes and any proceeds in excess thereof must be used by the Borrower to prepay the Term
B-1 Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(v).

     (B) Terms of the Add-On Term Loan. As contemplated above, some of the terms
and provisions of Add-On Term Loan shall be effected by the applicable Add-On Term Loan
Joinder Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making
an Add-On Term Loan, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. Such Add-On Term
Loan Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the
opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.
In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents
to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to
the Add-On Term Loans.

     (C) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Add-On Term Loans made pursuant to this
paragraph shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from
the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties
shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or
demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue
to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the institution of any
such Add-On Term Loan.

 

 

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          In order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Agreement and
to extend credit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents on the Original Effective Date and on
the Amendment Effective Date, the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, make the representations and
warranties set forth in this Article III (after giving effect to the Transactions) and upon
the occurrence of each Credit Event thereafter:

          SECTION 3.01. Organization, etc. Each Loan Party (a) is a corporation or other form
of legal entity, and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or other form of legal
entity, validly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, (b) is duly qualified to do business and is
in good standing as a foreign corporation or foreign partnership (or comparable foreign
qualification, if applicable, in the case of any other form of legal entity), as the case may be,
in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification, and (c) has full
power and authority and holds all requisite governmental licenses, permits and other approvals to
(i) enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to
which it is a party and (ii) own or hold under lease its Property and to conduct its business
substantially as currently conducted by it, except, in the case of clauses (b) and
(c)(ii) only, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.02. Due Authorization, Non-Contravention, etc. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a
party, the borrowing of the Loans, the use of the proceeds thereof and the issuance of the Letters
of Credit hereunder are within each Loan Party’s corporate, partnership or comparable powers, as
the case may be, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or comparable
and, if required, stockholder action, as the case may be, and do not

     (a) contravene the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party or any of its respective
Subsidiaries;

     (b) contravene any law, statute, rule or regulation binding on or affecting any Loan
Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries;

     (c) violate or result in a default or event of default or an acceleration of any rights

Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries, except Liens created under the Loan

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.03. Government Approval, Regulation, etc. No consent, authorization or
approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or
regulatory body or other Person is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the borrowing of the
Loans, the use of the proceeds thereof and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, nor for the
consummation of the

 

 

Transactions, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect,
(ii) filings necessary to perfect Liens under the Security Documents and (iii) those, the failure
of which to obtain or make, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries is an “investment company” within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          SECTION 3.04. Validity, etc. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a
party will, on the due execution and delivery thereof and assuming the due execution and delivery
of this Agreement by each of the other parties hereto, constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, subject to the
effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

related consolidated statement of loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Parent Guarantor
as of (i) December 31, 2009 and (ii) as of and for the six months ended July 1, 2010, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and present fairly in all material respects
in the financial condition of the Parent Guarantor and the results of its operations and its cash
flows as of the dates and for the periods presented and (y) the financial statements referred to in
clause (x)(i) above have been audited by independent registered public accountants of
nationally recognized standing and are accompanied by an unqualified opinion of such accountants.

          (b) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto,
none of the Parent Guarantor or its Subsidiaries has any Indebtedness, contingent liabilities,
long-term commitments or unrealized losses that have had or reasonably could be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.07. No Material Adverse Effect. Since December 29, 2005, no event or
circumstance has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 3.08. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.08 to the
Original Credit Agreement, there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened
litigation, action or proceeding against the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, or the
ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including the
Transactions), which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which
purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the Transactions).

          SECTION 3.09. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. None of the Loan Parties has
violated, is in violation of or has been given written notice of any violation of any laws (other
than Environmental Laws, which are the subject of Section 3.14), regulations or orders of
any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property or any indenture, agreement or other
instrument binding upon it or its property, except for any violations which could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. No breach, default, violation, cancellation, termination or other event that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred under any Boeing Agreement.

 

 

          SECTION 3.10. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.10 to the Original Credit Agreement
sets forth the name of, and the direct or indirect ownership interest of the Parent Guarantor and
the Borrower in each of their respective Subsidiaries and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Loan
Party, in each case as of the Original Effective Date and as of the Amendment Effective Date.

          SECTION 3.11. Ownership of Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has good and marketable title in fee simple to (or other similar title in jurisdictions outside the
United States of America), or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property
interests in, or is licensed to use, all its properties and assets (including all Mortgaged
Properties), except for defects in the foregoing that do not materially interfere with its ability
to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their
intended purposes and except where the failure to do so in the aggregate could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of
Liens, other than Permitted Liens.

          (b) As of the Original Effective Date, Schedule 3.11(b) to the Original Credit
Agreement contains and will contain a true and complete list of each parcel of Real Property (i)
owned in fee by any Loan Party as of the Original Effective Date and (ii) leased, subleased or
otherwise occupied or utilized by any Loan Party, as lessee or otherwise, as of the Original
Effective Date.

          (c) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations under all
leases and other Real Property Agreements (including, without limitation, the IRB Agreements) to
which it is a party, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases and other Real Property Agreements are in full force
and effect, except in respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in
respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be
expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, possesses, is licensed or otherwise has
the right to use, or could obtain ownership or possession of, all patents, trademarks, service
marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present
conduct of its business, except for those the failure to own, possess, license or use could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and without any known conflict or alleged
conflict with the rights of others, except where such conflicts could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) As of the Original Effective Date, no Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries has
received any written notice of, or has any knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation
proceeding affecting any of the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of
condemnation that remains unresolved as of the Original Effective Date.

          (f) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.11(f) to the Original Credit Agreement, neither
the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated on the Original Effective Date under any
right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of
any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

          SECTION 3.12. Taxes. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has timely filed all federal, foreign and all other material tax returns and reports required by
law to have been filed by it and has timely paid all taxes and governmental charges due (whether or
not

 

 

shown on any tax return), except any such taxes or charges which are being diligently
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance
with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books; provided that any such contest of taxes
or charges with respect to Collateral shall have the effect of preventing the forfeiture or sale of
such Collateral. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has made adequate
provision in accordance with GAAP for all taxes not yet due and payable. Neither the Parent
Guarantor, nor the Borrower, nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a party to any understanding
or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the
Code or within the meaning of Section 6111(c) or Section 6111(d) of the Code as in effect
immediately prior to the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, or has ever
“participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4, except as could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.13. Pension and Welfare Plans. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13
to the Original Credit Agreement, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or give rise to a Lien on the
assets of any Loan Party or a Subsidiary. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their ERISA
Affiliates are in compliance in all respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and
the Code with respect to each Plan except for failures to so comply which could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the
Original Credit Agreement, no condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to
any Plan which reasonably might result in the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or any ERISA Affiliate of any liability, fine or penalty which could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the Original Credit
Agreement, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension
Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans by an amount that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Pension Plans were
terminated. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of
subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate to
all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the
most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 to the Original Credit
Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability with
respect to post-retirement benefits provided by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under a
Welfare Plan, other than (i) liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B
of Title I of ERISA and (ii) liabilities that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) each Foreign
Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all
applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required,
in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, and (b) neither the Borrower nor any of
its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal
from any Foreign Plan.

          SECTION 3.14. Environmental Warranties. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule
3.14(a) to the Original Credit Agreement, all facilities and property owned, leased or operated
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and all operations conducted thereon, are in compliance
with all Environmental Laws, except for such noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

          (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(b) to the Original Credit Agreement, there
are no pending or threatened (in writing):

     (i) Environmental Claims received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or

     (ii) written claims, complaints, notices or inquiries received by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries regarding Environmental Liability,

in each case which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(c) to the Original Credit Agreement, there
have been no Releases of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property now or, to any Loan
Party’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (d) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been issued and are in compliance with all
Environmental Permits necessary for their operations, facilities and businesses and each is in full
force and effect, except for such Environmental Permits which, if not so obtained or as to which
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not in compliance, or are not in effect, individually or in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) No property now or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is listed or proposed (with respect to owned property only)
for listing on the CERCLIS or on any similar state list of sites requiring investigation or
clean-up, or on the National Priorities List pursuant to CERCLA.

          (f) There are no underground storage tanks, active or abandoned, including petroleum storage
tanks, surface impoundments or disposal areas, on or under any property now or, to any Loan Party’s
knowledge, previously owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which, singly or
in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (g) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has transported or arranged for the
transportation of any Hazardous Material to any location which is listed or proposed for listing on
the National Priorities List pursuant to CERCLA, on the CERCLIS or on any similar state list or
which is the subject of federal, state or local enforcement actions or other investigations which
would reasonably be expected to lead to any Environmental Claim against the Borrower or such
Subsidiary.

          (h) No liens have been recorded pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any property
or other assets currently owned or leased by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

          (i) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently conducting any Remedial
Action pursuant to any Environmental Law, nor has any of the Loan Parties or any of their
respective Subsidiaries assumed by contract, agreement or operation of law any obligation under
Environmental Law, the cost of which, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (j) There are no polychlorinated biphenyls or asbestos or asbestos-containing material present
at any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which, singly
or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

          SECTION 3.15. Regulations T, U and X. The Loans, the use of the proceeds thereof,
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in a violation of or be
inconsistent with any provision of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

          SECTION 3.16. Disclosure; Accuracy of Information; Pro Forma Balance Sheets and Projected
Financial Statements. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or
statement, in each case concerning any Loan Party or the Acquired Business, furnished to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection herewith
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made; provided that to the extent this or any such
document, certificate or statement was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Loan
Parties represent only that they acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due
care in the preparation of such document, certificate or statement, it being understood that
forecast and projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no assurance can be
given that any forecast or projection will be realized.

          (b) The pro forma consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2005 and March 30, 2006,
prepared giving effect to the Amendment Transactions as if the Amendment Transactions had occurred
on such date and furnished to the Lenders, (i) were prepared in good faith based on reasonable
assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements included in the Information
Memorandum, (ii) accurately reflect all material adjustments necessary to give effect to the
Amendment Transactions and (iii) present fairly the pro forma financial position of the Borrower
and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of their respective dates, as if the Amendment Transactions
had occurred on such date.

          (c) The pro forma consolidated income statement projections for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, pro forma consolidated balance sheet projections for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and pro forma consolidated cash flow projections for the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, all for the Fiscal Years ending 2006 through 2013, inclusive, and on a quarterly
basis through and including Fiscal Year 2006 and annually thereafter which were furnished to the
Lenders (the “Projected Financial Statements”) and which give effect to the Amendment
Transactions and all Indebtedness and Liens incurred or created in connection with the Amendment
Transactions were prepared in good faith based on assumptions that are reasonable as of the date of
such projections and as of the Original Effective Date and all material assumptions with respect to
the Projected Financial Statements are set forth therein. The Projected Financial Statements
present a good faith estimate of the consolidated financial information contained therein at the
date thereof, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, however, that
projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during
the period or periods covered by the projections will differ from the projected results and that
the difference may be material.

          SECTION 3.17. Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies in such amounts, with such
deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar
businesses and operating and owning properties in the same or similar locations, and as required to
be maintained pursuant to the Security Documents. All such insurance (including the related
insurance policies) is in full force and effect, all premiums with respect thereto that are due and
payable have been duly paid and no Loan Party has received or is aware of any notice of violation
or cancellation thereof and each Loan Party has complied in all material respects with the material
requirements of each such policy.

the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole), (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or
slowdowns against the Loan Parties pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened; (b)
the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties have not been in violation
of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law
dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from the Loan Parties, or for which any claim
may be made against the Loan Parties, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance
and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Loan Parties.

          SECTION 3.19. Solvency. Immediately following the making of each Loan and after
giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of
each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party
will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts
and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities
become absolute and matured; (c) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured;
and (d) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business
in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

          SECTION 3.20. Securities. The common Equity Interests of each of the Parent
Guarantor’s and the Borrower’s Subsidiaries are fully paid and non-assessable. The Equity
Interests of each Subsidiary held, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower are owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Borrower free and clear of all Liens except the Liens created by the Security
Documents and non-consensual Permitted Liens. There are not, as of the Original Effective Date,
any existing options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, convertible or exchangeable securities,
rights, agreements, commitments or arrangements for any Person to acquire any common stock of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
evidencing the right to subscribe for any such common stock, except as disclosed in the financial
statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and (b) or otherwise disclosed to
the Lenders prior to the Original Effective Date.

          SECTION 3.21. Indebtedness Outstanding. Set forth on Schedule 3.21 to the Original
Credit Agreement is a list and description of all Indebtedness of the Loan Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries (other than the Loans) that will be outstanding immediately after the
Original Effective Date (such Indebtedness, “Indebtedness to Remain Outstanding”).

          SECTION 3.22. Security Documents. (a) The Pledge Agreement is effective to create in
favor of the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties legal, valid
and enforceable security interests in the Securities Collateral (as defined in the Pledge
Agreement) and, when such Securities Collateral is delivered to the Collateral Agent or appropriate
financing statements are filed, the Pledge Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on,

Securities Collateral.

Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which
possession or control shall be given to the Collateral

 

 

Agent to the extent possession or control by
the Collateral Agent is required by the Security Agreement), the Security Agreement shall
constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title
and interest of the grantors thereunder in such Collateral (other than the Intellectual
Property (as defined in the Security Agreement)) to the extent such Lien and security interest can
be perfected by the filing of a financing statement pursuant to the UCC or by possession or control
by the Collateral Agent, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than
any holder of Permitted Liens.

          (c) When the filings in clause (b)(ii)(x) above of this Section 3.22 are made

Annex V-A, Annex V-B or Annex V-C, as applicable, to the Security Agreement) is filed in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the Security Agreement
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a
security interest may be perfected by such filing, recording or registration (it being understood
that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a Lien on registered trademarks, trademark
applications and copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the Original Effective Date), in
each case prior and superior in right to any other Person other than with respect to Permitted
Liens.

          (d) Each Mortgage identifying the Secured Parties as Secured Parties therein executed and
delivered as of the Original Effective Date is, or, to the extent any Mortgage identifying the
Secured Parties as Secured Parties therein is duly executed and delivered thereafter by the
relevant Loan Party, will be, effective to create, subject to the exceptions listed in each title
insurance policy covering such Mortgage, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in all
of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and
the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule
3.22(d) to the Original Credit Agreement, the Mortgages shall constitute a Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in that part of such
Mortgaged Properties that constitute Real Property and fixtures and the proceeds thereof, in each
case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to the rights of
Persons pursuant to Permitted Liens.

          SECTION 3.23. Anti-Terrorism Laws. (a) None of the Loan Parties or, to the knowledge
of any of the Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates is in violation of any laws relating to
terrorism or money laundering (“Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including Executive Order No. 13224
on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”), and the

the Loans is any of the following:

     (i) a Person or entity that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise subject to the

          (b) The execution, delivery and performance of the IRB Agreements by each Loan Party which is

force and effect.

          (e) Each IRB Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Trust and Loan Party
thereto and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Trust and Loan Party

each case, in its capacity as such) hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Collateral Agent
as an agent of such Person under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the
Collateral Agent is a party. In addition, without hereby limiting any implied authority, each
Lender hereby expressly authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into each Loan
Document to which it is a party as its agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. The Administrative
Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority,
(a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all
payments and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each
Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the
Lenders to the Borrower of any Default specified in this Agreement of which such Agent has actual
knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender
copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement as received by such Agent.

          None of the Agents nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable to the Lenders as such for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them except to the extent finally judicially
determined to have resulted from its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document
delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the
performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or
agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for
the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by
the Requisite Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders) and, except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant
thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of actual knowledge
to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. None of
the Agents nor any of their Related Parties shall have any responsibility to the Loan Parties on
account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations
hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any
other Lender or the Loan Parties of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each Agent may execute any and all
duties hereunder by or through any of its Related Parties or any sub-agent appointed by it and
shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all
matters

 

 

arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it
in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

          The Lenders hereby acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary
action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document unless it shall
be requested in writing to do so by the Requisite Lenders.

          The Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it holds and will hold all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Security Documents and the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent
thereunder whether now existing or hereafter arising (all such right, title and interest being
hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral Estate”) under and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement; and the Collateral Agent further agrees that it will hold such Collateral
Estate for the benefit of the Secured Parties, for the enforcement of the payment of all
Obligations (subject to the limitations and priorities set forth herein and in the respective
Security Documents) and as security for the performance of and compliance with the covenants and
conditions of this Agreement and each of the Security Documents.

          All of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Agent as set forth in this Agreement
may be exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of any Security Document as though set forth in
full therein and all of the powers, remedies and rights of the Collateral Agent as set forth in any
Security Document may be exercised from time to time as herein and therein provided.

          The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite
Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having combined capital and surplus of at
least $500 million, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent
is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank
directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent. Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender and, if Bank of
America is then an Issuing Bank, Bank of America in its capacity as Issuing Bank. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall
succeed to and

 

 

become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline
Lender and, if Bank of America is then an Issuing Bank, Bank of America in its capacity as Issuing
Bank, (b) the retiring Swingline Lender and, if Bank of America is then an Issuing Bank, Bank of
America in its capacity as Issuing Bank, shall be discharged from all of their respective duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) if Bank of America is then an
Issuing Bank, the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring
Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

          The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders
and the Borrower. If the Collateral Agent shall resign as the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default
with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the
Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor
agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term
“Collateral Agent” means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and
such former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or
any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has
accepted appointment as the Collateral Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring
Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall, in consultation with
the Borrower, appoint a successor Collateral Agent (which successor agent shall be a financial
institution of nationally-recognized standing that, in the ordinary course of business, performs
functions equivalent to those of the Collateral Agent hereunder), and the retiring Collateral
Agent’s resignation shall become effective upon such appointment. After any retiring Collateral
Agent’s resignation as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not
as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and such Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.

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

          The Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent (and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree)

     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent
under any Loan Document (i) upon termination or expiration of the Commitments and payment in
full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations that are not then
due and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than
Letters of Credit which have been collateralized in a manner reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent),

 

 

(ii) that is sold, transferred or disposed of or to be sold, transferred or disposed of
as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or disposition permitted hereunder and
under the Loan Documents substantially simultaneously with such sale, disposition or
transfer, or (iii) subject to Section 10.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Requisite Lenders; and

     (b) to release (i) US LLC 1 and, if applicable, US LLC 2 at such time it becomes a
Foreign Subsidiary and (ii) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee if such
Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Lead Arranger, any
Co-Arranger, any Co-Syndication Agent nor the Co-Documentation Agents, in such respective
capacities, shall have any obligations, duties or responsibilities, or shall incur any liabilities,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

warranties made by the Loan Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be

such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any
other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or
any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.16, 10.02, 10.05 and 10.16 and Article
VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 10.03. Binding Effect. Subject to Sections 4.01 and 4.02,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns.

          SECTION 10.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors
and assigns of such party (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit). All covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Agents or the
Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.04(f)(iii) and,
solely to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

          (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and

 

 

the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) except in the
case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or in connection
with the initial syndication of the Commitments and Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be
less than, in the case of the Term B-1 Loans, the Term B-2 Loans and the Add-On Term Loans, $1.0
million and increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof and, in the case of the Revolving Loans,
$5.0 million and increments of $1.0 million in excess thereof (or (A) if the aggregate amount of
the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender is a lesser amount, the entire amount of such
Commitment or Loans, or (B) in any other case, such lesser amount as the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise agree), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
except that this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of
Commitments and Loans, (iii) except in the case of the assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender or
an assignment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that only one fee
shall be required to be paid by a Lender in respect of concurrent assignments to two or more
Approved Funds), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording pursuant
to Section 10.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof
(unless otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (B) the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16 and 10.05 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, as well as to any Fees
accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(f).

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other
parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its
Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans and participations in Swingline Loans, in
each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set
forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning
Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the
financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee
represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance;
(iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of
the most recent financial statements, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 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; (v) such assignee
will independently and without reliance upon either Agent, such assigning Lender or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi)
such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vii) such assignee agrees that it
will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (viii) Schedule 2.01 shall be
deemed to be amended to reflect the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder after
giving effect thereto.

          (d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements, and participations in
Swingline Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). Except to the extent inconsistent with Section 2.07(d), the entries
in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In
addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the
designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee
referred to in Section 10.04(b) above and, if required, the written consent of the
Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent to such assignment,
the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
Section 10.04(e).

          (f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a
Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided,
however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection
provisions contained in Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section
10.04(b) (provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount
pursuant to such Section than the Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the
interest transferred), and (iv) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right (which each Lender
agrees will not be limited by the terms of any participation agreement or other agreement with a
participant) to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents (other than, without the consent of the Participant,
amendments, modifications or waivers described in Section 10.08(c) that affect such
Participant).

 

 

          (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or
proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties;
provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information, each such assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form
and substance consistent with provisions of Section 10.16.

          (h) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any
time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender and this Section
10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided
that (x) no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto
and (y) any foreclosure or similar action shall be subject to the provisions of Section
10.04(b) concerning assignments and shall not be effective to transfer any rights under this
Agreement or in any Loan, Note or other instrument evidencing the rights of a Lender under this
Agreement until the requirements of Section 10.04(b) concerning assignments are fully
satisfied. In order to facilitate such a pledge or assignment, the Borrower shall, at the request
of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or
notes evidencing the Loans made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.

          (i) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment
without such consent shall be null and void.

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

          (k) If a Non-Extending Revolving Lender assigns all or a portion of such Non-Extending
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Loans (including such Non-Extending
Revolving Lender’s participations in LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans) to an Eligible Assignee
pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.04, such Eligible Assignee may agree in the applicable
Assignment and Acceptance to become an Extending Revolving Lender with respect to such assigned
Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and participations in such LC Exposure and/or Swingline
Loans and agree in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity

 

 

Date with respect to such assigned Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans and participations in LC
Exposure and/or Swingline Loans to September 30, 2014. For the avoidance of doubt, the
parties hereto agree that the extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall occur
automatically on the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance and that such
Eligible Assignee shall become an Extending Revolving Lender hereunder without the need for any
amendment to this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and BAS,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, counsel for
the Administrative Agent and BAS, and local counsel, in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BAS, including reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, as counsel for BAS, RBS Securities Inc.
and The Bank of Nova Scotia, in connection with preparation of Amendment No. 3 and the extension
and syndication of the credit facilities in connection therewith (whether or not the transactions
thereby contemplated shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iv) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by BAS, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement
(including its rights under this Section), the other Loan Documents or the Loans made or Letters of
Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and, in connection
with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel
for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for
expenses incurred by a Lender in connection with the assignment of Loans to an assignee Lender
(except pursuant to Section 2.20) or the sale of Loans to a Participant pursuant to
Section 10.04.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Co-Documentation Agents, the Lead Arranger, the Co-Arrangers, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, each
Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons and each of their respective Related Parties (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby,
(ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the
Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii)
any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not
any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability or Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or the
Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related reasonable expenses are
finally judicially determined to have arisen by reason of the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

 

 

          (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to promptly pay any amount to be paid by them to any
Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Co-Arrangers, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata
share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) of such unpaid amount (other than syndication expenses); provided that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving
Credit Exposures, outstanding Term B-1 Loans, outstanding Term B-2 Loans, outstanding Add-On Term
Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          (e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the
Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

          SECTION 10.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default or Event of Termination shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and 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 Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents
held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. In
connection with exercising its rights pursuant to the previous sentence, a Lender may at any time
use the Borrower’s credit balances with the Lender to purchase at the Lender’s applicable spot rate
of exchange any other currency or currencies which the Lender considers necessary to reduce or
discharge any amount due by the Borrower to the Lender, and may apply that currency or those
currencies in or towards payment of those amounts. The rights of each Lender under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender
may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after
making any such setoff.

          SECTION 10.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER
THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 10.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies
of the Agents, the

 

 

Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.08(b), and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in
any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

          (b) Subject to Sections 10.08(c), 10.08(d) and 10.08(e), no amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written
concurrence of the Requisite Lenders.

          (c) Subject to Section 10.08(e), without the written consent of each Lender that would
be directly affected thereby (whose consent shall be sufficient therefor without the consent of the
Requisite Lenders), no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective
if the effect thereof would:

     (i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note;

     (ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);

     (iii) extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date;

     (iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in
the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) or any fee
payable hereunder or any prepayment premium payable hereunder, it being understood that any
amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (iv);

     (v) extend the time for payment of any such interest or fees or prepayment premium;

     (vi) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation
in respect of any Letter of Credit;

     (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.13(c),
Section 2.19, Section 7.06, Section 10.08(b), this Section
10.08(c), Section 10.08(d) or Section 10.08(e) (except for technical
amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which
affect the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the
Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term B-1 Loans on the Original Effective Date);

     (viii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Commitment Percentage”;
provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, additional extensions of credit
pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders” or “Commitment
Percentage” on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving
Loans, Term B-1 Commitments and Term B-1 Loans, are included on the Original Effective Date;

 

 

     (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of
the Guarantors from the Guarantee except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents or
subordinate the Liens under any Security Document, it being understood that additional
extensions of credit under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.21 or consented to
by the Requisite Lenders may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then
existing secured obligations under the Security Documents; or

     (x) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of its rights and
obligations under any Loan Document.

          (d) Subject to Section 10.08(e), no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or
consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom, shall:

     (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect
without the consent of such Lender; provided no amendment, modification,
termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, Default or
Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender;

     (ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swingline
Sublimit or the Swingline Loans without the consent of Swingline Lender;

     (iii) amend the definition of “Requisite Class Lenders” without the consent of
Requisite Class Lenders of each Class; provided, with the consent of the Requisite
Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the
determination of such “Requisite Class Lenders” on substantially the same basis as the
Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans, Term B-1 Commitments and Term B-1 Loans are
included on the Original Effective Date;

     (iv) alter the required application of any repayments or prepayments as between Classes
pursuant to Section 2.05 without the consent of Requisite Class Lenders of each
Class which is being allocated a lesser repayment or prepayment as a result thereof;
provided the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so
long as the application, as between Classes, of any portion of such prepayment is still
required to be made is not altered and, if additional extensions of term credit under this
Agreement consented to by the Requisite Lenders are made, such new term loans may be
included on a pro rata basis in the various prepayments required pursuant to
Section 2.05;

     (v) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Lenders relating to the
issuance of or purchase of participations in Letters of Credit without the written consent
of Administrative Agent and of Issuing Bank;

     (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article VIII as the
same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights
or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent;

     (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Loan Document specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or
modify any rights thereunder or make any determination to grant any consent

 

 

thereunder without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may
be);

     (viii) amend, modify, terminate or waive the manner of application of any optional or
mandatory prepayments of Loans to the remaining amortization payments of (A) the Term B-1
Loans without the written consent of Term B-1 Lenders holding more than 50% of the
outstanding Term B-1 Loans, (B) the Term B-2 Loans without the written consent of Term B-2
Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Term B-2 Loans and (C) the Add-On Term
Loans without the written consent of Add-On Term Loan Lenders holding more than 50% of the
outstanding Add-On Term Loans;

     (ix) expressly amend, modify, supplement or waive any condition precedent in
Section 4.03 to any Revolving Credit Borrowing without the written consent of the
Requisite Revolving Lenders; or

     (x) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods hereunder without the consent of
all Lenders;

provided that any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms
affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Revolving Lender (but not the Term B-1
Lenders, the Term B-2 Lenders or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders), or the Term B-1 Lenders (but not
the Revolving Lenders, the Term B-2 Lenders or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders), or the Term B-2
Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, the Term B-1 Lenders or the Add-On Term Loan Lenders), or
the Add-On Term Loan Lenders (but not the Revolving Lenders, the Term B-1 Lenders or the Term B-2
Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and
requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent
thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the
time.

          (e) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any
of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as contemplated by Sections 10.08(d)(i),
10.08(d)(ii), 10.08(d)(v) and 10.08(d)(vi)), the consent of the Requisite
Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required
is not obtained (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower, at its sole
cost and expense, shall have the right, so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders whose individual
consent is required are treated as described below, to transfer or assign, without recourse, all of
the rights, obligations and interests of each such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders with respect to
either this Agreement or the Class of Loans or Commitments that is subject to the related change,
waiver, discharge or termination to one or more assignees (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 10.04) approved by the Administrative Agent (and with
respect to any Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline
Lender), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as at the time of such transfer
or assignment, each such assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination; provided, however, that no Non-Consenting Lender shall be obligated to
make any such assignment unless, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule,
regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (y) such assignee or the Borrower shall pay
to the affected Non-Consenting Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment
the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such
Non-Consenting Lender and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such
Non-Consenting Lender and all commitment fees and other fees owed to such Non-Consenting Lender
hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Non-Consenting Lender’s account or owed to it
hereunder (including, without limitation, any Commitment Fees).

 

 

          SECTION 10.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or
participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be
limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in
respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum
Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          SECTION 10.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any
previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that any letter agreement relating to
the subject matter hereof between the Borrower and a Lender shall remain effective in accordance
with its terms to the extent it expressly survives the effectiveness of this Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any
party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

          It is intended by the parties hereto that (a) all obligations of the parties under the
Original Credit Agreement shall continue to exist under and be evidenced by this Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (b) except as expressly stated herein
or amended hereby, the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are ratified and
confirmed as remaining unmodified and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations; it
being understood that it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement does not constitute a novation of rights, obligations and liabilities of the respective
parties (including the Obligations) existing under the Original Credit Agreement or evidence
payment of all or any of such obligations and liabilities and such rights, obligation and
liabilities shall continue and remain outstanding, and that this Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 10.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE,
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

          SECTION 10.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein
and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid

 

 

provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal
or unenforceable provisions. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if
and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting
Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be
deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

          SECTION 10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but
all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect
the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower 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 the other Loan Documents, 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 such New York
State or, to the 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 any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

          (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 the other
Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph (a) of this
Section. 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.

          (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.

          SECTION 10.16. Confidentiality. None of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Syndication
Agent nor any Lender may disclose to any Person any non-public information of the Loan Parties
furnished to the Administrative Agent, any Co-Syndication Agent or the Lenders by the Loan Parties
(such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Loan Party Information”),
except that each of the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Lenders may
disclose Loan Party Information (i) to its and its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors,
agents, accountants, attorneys and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Loan Party Information
and instructed to keep such Loan Party Information confidential on substantially the same terms as
provided herein), (ii) to the extent

 

 

required by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory body with jurisdiction or having oversight over
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable
law, reasonable efforts shall be made to notify the Borrower of any such request, (iv)
to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.16, (A)
to any pledge referred to in Section 10.04(h) or any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
and (B) each Qualified Counterparty party to a Hedging Agreement and (vii) to the extent such Loan
Party Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a nonconfidential basis
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.16 by the Administrative Agent, the
Co-Syndication Agents or such Lender, or (B) is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent,
such Co-Syndication Agent or such Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Loan Parties. Nothing in this provision shall imply that any party has waived any privilege it may
have with respect to advice it has received.

          SECTION 10.17. Website Communications.

          (a) Delivery. (i) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other

for purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Section 10.17
shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Lead Arranger, the
Co-Documentation Agents, the Co-Arrangers or any Lender to give any notice or other communication
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

posted pursuant to paragraph (b) below at the e-mail address(es) set forth on Schedule 2.01
opposite such Lender’s name or pursuant to the notice provisions of any assignment and acceptance
agreement shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of
this Agreement and any other Loan Document. Each Lender further agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) promptly of any change in
its e-mail address or any extended disruption in its internet delivery services.

          (b) Each Loan Party and Lender further agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or the Loan
Parties may make the Communications

 

 

available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar
electronic transmission systems (the “Platform”) and that the posting of any document or
Communication on such Platform shall be deemed to be delivery of such
document or Communication to the Lenders. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the distribution
of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are
confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.

          (c) THE COMMUNICATIONS TRANSMITTED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 10.17 AND THE PLATFORM ARE

KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN
PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT
TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF
COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT.

          SECTION 10.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as
hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of
Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name,

          SECTION 10.19. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility
