continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest

Loans, and third, to the Borrower as provided above.

satisfied. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, (i) no Loan may be requested as,
converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (ii) at the request of the Required
Lenders, any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted immediately to a Base Rate Loan.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used
in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than nine (9)
Interest Periods in effect with respect to Revolving Loans.

     (B) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $500,000 or is to
be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

     (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally

30

 

or such Letter of Credit
in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is
not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall
impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not
applicable on the Closing Date and that the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material
to it;

     (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than
twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required
Lenders have approved such expiry date;

     (C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry
date;

     (D) one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.02 shall

     (E) the Revolving Commitments have been terminated pursuant to Section
7.01;

     (F) any Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender or a Defaulting Lender,
whether on account of a failure to fund its obligations under Section
2.03(c) or otherwise, unless such Lender or the Borrower shall have provided
Adequate Assurance; or

     (G) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars;

     (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if:

of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof; or

     (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed

     (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.02 shall
not then be satisfied and the L/C Issuer shall have received written notice thereof
from any Lender or any Credit Party at least one (1) Business Day prior to the
requested date of amendment of such Letter of Credit; or

31

 

     (B) the Revolving Commitments have been terminated pursuant to Section
7.01.

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment.

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2)
Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular
instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment,
as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address
of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of
any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer
may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C
Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof
(which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to
the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining
to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as
the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if
not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt
by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance
or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit
for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be,
in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit.

32

 

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

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any
payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor
Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in
an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the
L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and
the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on
the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum
and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall
not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

     (ii) Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall
be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for any reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall
constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this Section 2.03.

33

 

     (iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount
shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
that such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C)
non-compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, or (D) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such
making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate
from time to time in effect. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 9.06 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Revolving Commitment Percentage
thereof on

34

 

demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of
Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting),
the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

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

     (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

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

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

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter

35

 

of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document
or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided,
however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. (i) If the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing
request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if,
as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain
outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall immediately provide Cash Collateral
in the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding
Amount determined as of the date of such L/C Borrowing or the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, as
the case may be). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit
accounts at Bank of America.

     (h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing
Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay Letter of Credit fees as set forth
in Section 2.09.

36

 

     (j) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. In the event of any conflict between
the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

     (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. 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 L/C Issuer 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.

     2.04 Additional Provisions with respect to Swing Line Loans.

     (a) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone; provided, however, that the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any
obligation to make a Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender or a
Defaulting Lender, whether on account of a failure to fund its obligations under Section
2.04(b)(ii) or otherwise, unless such Lender or the Borrower shall have provided Adequate
Assurance. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender
of any telephonic Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Loan Notice and, if
not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the
contents
thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from
the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of
the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line
Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in this Article II, or (B) that one or more
of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the
borrowing date specified in such Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to
the Borrower by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in
immediately available funds.

     (b) Refinancing.

     (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in
an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed
to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and

37

 

multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments or the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender
shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after
delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal
to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available
to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line
Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in
such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(b)(ii), each Lender that so
makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan
to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received
to the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(i), the request for Revolving
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b) by the time specified in Section
2.04(b)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to
any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C) non-compliance with the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02, or (D) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such purchase or funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

38

 

     (c) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the
same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 9.06 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

     (d) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender
funds its Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance
such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect thereof
shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

     (e) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

     2.05 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Revolving
Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

     (b) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earliest
to occur of (i) the date of demand for repayment by the Swing Line Lender, (ii) the date ten (10)
days after such Loan is made and (iii) the Revolving Termination Date.

     2.06 Prepayments.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Loans (subject to clauses (b) and (c)
below) may be repaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except, in the case of Loans
other than Base Rate Loans, amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05); provided
that:

     (i) in the case of Loans other than Swing Line Loans, (A) notice thereof must be
received by 1:00 p.m. by the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to
the date of prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and on the Business

39

 

Day prior
to the date of prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Loans, (B) any such prepayment shall be
in the same minimum amounts as provided for Borrowings in Section 2.02(a), or, in
each case, the entire remaining principal amount thereof, if less; and

     (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, (A) notice thereof must be received by the Swing
Line Lender by 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), and (B) any such prepayment shall be in the same minimum principal amounts as for
advances thereof (or any lesser amount that may be acceptable to the Swingline Lender).

Each such notice of voluntary repayment hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date
and amount of prepayment and the Loans and Types of Loans which are to be prepaid. The
Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of any prepayment on the
Loans and the Lender’s interest therein. Prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be
accompanied by accrued interest thereon and breakage amounts, if any, under Section 3.05.

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments on Revolving Obligations. If at any time (i) the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Obligations shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount,
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of L/C Obligations shall exceed the L/C Committed Amount or
(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans shall exceed the Swing Line Committed
Amount, immediate prepayment will be made on the Revolving Loans and/or to provide Cash Collateral
to the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Cash
Collateral will not be provided to the L/C Obligations hereunder until the Revolving Loans and
Swing Line Loans have been paid to or below the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount or the Swing
Line Committed Amount, as the case may be.

     (c) Application. Within each Loan, prepayments will be applied first to Base Rate
Loans, then ratably to Eurodollar Rate Loans. In addition:

     (i) Voluntary Prepayments. Voluntary prepayments shall be applied as specified
by the Borrower. Voluntary prepayments on the Revolving Obligations will be paid by the

therein (except for Defaulting Lenders where their share will be held as provided in
Section 2.14(a) hereof).

     (ii) Mandatory Prepayments. Mandatory prepayments on Revolving Obligations
under Section 2.06(b) will be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders
ratably in accordance with their respective interests therein (except for Defaulting Lenders
where their share will be held as provided in Section 2.14(a) hereof), or to the
respective Revolving Obligations, as appropriate.

40

 

     2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

     The Revolving Commitments hereunder may be permanently reduced in whole or in part by notice
from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any such notice thereof
must be received by 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of reduction or
termination and any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5 million and
integral multiples of $1 million in excess thereof; and (ii) the Revolving Commitments may not be
reduced to an amount less than the Revolving Obligations then outstanding. The Administrative
Agent will give prompt notice to the Lenders of any such reduction in Commitments. Any reduction
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender
according to its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. All commitment or other fees accrued
until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on
the effective date of such termination.

     2.08 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, (i) each Revolving Loan that is a

     (b) (i) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

     (ii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
Section 7.01(g) or (h), the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal
amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

     (iii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default other than

     (a) Facility Fee. From and after the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender which
shall be dealt with as provided in Section 2.14(a) hereof) a commitment fee (the
“Facility Fee”) for each calendar quarter, prorated for partial quarters, in an amount
equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments (or if the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, on
the Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Obligations), regardless of usage. The Facility Fee shall
accrue at all times during the Commitment Period (and thereafter so long as Revolving Obligations
shall remain outstanding), including periods during which the conditions to Extensions of Credit in
Section 4.02 may not be met, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).
The Administrative Agent shall distribute the Facility Fee to the Lenders pro rata in accordance

Percentage per annum times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such
Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letters of
Credit) from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. The Letter of Credit Fee shall
be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the
last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (and, if
applicable, thereafter on demand.

     (ii) L/C Issuer Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, the Borrower
agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders

42

 

(A) a fronting fee (the “L/C Fronting Fee”) of 0.125% per annum on the daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under Letters of Credit issued by it from the date of issuance
to the date of expiration, and (B) customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges , of the L/C Issuer (“L/C
Customary Charges”; together with the L/C Fronting Fee, the “L/C Issuer Fees”)
with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and
conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit. The L/C Fronting Fee shall be
due and payable in arrears on the Business Day immediately following the last Business Day
of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly
period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. The L/C Customary Charges are due and payable on
demand
and are nonrefundable. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be
drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.07.

     (d) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent
such fees as provided in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter or as may be otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower from time to time.

     (e) Other Fees.

     (i) The Borrower shall pay to BAS and the Administrative Agent for their own respective
account fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agent’s Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

     (ii) The Borrower shall pay to Calyon Securities for its own account fees in the

Borrower. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

     (iii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately
agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be
fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

     2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

     All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to
Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.

43

 

     2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

     (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for
any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or set-off. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and
in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The
Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage
(or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable
interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

     (b) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by the Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.

(c) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender
has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section
2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent,
at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in
the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent
for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that
shall have failed to make such

44

 

payment to the Administrative Agent. A notice from the
Administrative Agent of amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

     (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation. A notice from the Administrative Agent of amounts owing under this subsection
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are
not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the
applicable Extension of Credit set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds
as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Sections 9.04 and
9.05(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any
such participation or to make any payment under Section 9.04 or 9.05(b) on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on
such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Sections 9.04 and
9.05(b).

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

     (g) If at any time insufficient funds are received by or are available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder,
such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs
and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due

45

 

hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

     2.12 Sharing of Payments.

     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans
and other amounts owing them; provided that:

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

     (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit
Agreement, (B) any amounts applied by the Swing Line Lender to outstanding Swing Line Loans,
(C) any amounts applied to L/C Obligations by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Loans by the
Swing Line Lender, as appropriate, from cash collateral or other Adequate Assurance provided
under Section 2.14(c), or (D) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C
Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off, but subject to Section 9.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The
Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of
manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the
Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation
pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices,
requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Credit Agreement with respect to
the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

46

 

     2.13 Evidence of Debt.

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

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

     2.14 Defaulting and Impacted Lenders.

     (a) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
the case of a Defaulting Lender:

     (i) the L/C Issuer may require the Borrower or Defaulting Lender to provide Adequate
Assurance, which may include cash collateral, for the Defaulting Lender’s share of the L/C
Obligations as a condition to the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit, as referenced
in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(F) and as provided in Section 2.14(c) hereof;

     (ii) the Swing Line Lender may require the Borrower or Defaulting Lender to provide
Adequate Assurance, which may include cash collateral, for the Defaulting Lender’s share of
the L/C Obligations as a condition to the making or extension of Swing Line Loans, as
referenced in Section 2.04(a) and as provided in Section 2.14(c) hereof;

     (iii) the Defaulting Lender may be replaced as provided in Section 9.15;

     (iv) all payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to a Defaulting
Lender will be paid into an account or subaccount with the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Defaulting Lender (collectively, the “Defaulting Lender Account”) and
held to secure the Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder. Amounts

47

 

held in the
Defaulting Lender Account will be used, first, to reimburse the Administrative Agent
for the Defaulting Lender’s share of fees and expenses, second, as cash collateral
for the Defaulting Lender’s share of outstanding L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans,
third, to fund the Defaulting Lender’s share of Revolving Loan advances,
fourth, as cash collateral for the Defaulting Lender’s unfunded share the of
Revolving Commitments. Any amounts remaining in the Defaulting Lender Account after payment
in full of the Defaulting Lender’s obligations and termination of the commitments under this
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents will be paid over to the Defaulting Lender;
and

     (v) the Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to vote except as expressly provided in
the last proviso of Section 9.01 or receive a commitment fee, facility fee or letter
of credit fee hereunder for so long as it shall be a Defaulting Lender.

     (b) Impacted Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
the case of a Impacted Lender:

     (i) the L/C Issuer may require the Borrower or Impacted Lender to provide Adequate
Assurance, which may include cash collateral, for the Impacted Lender’s share of the L/C
Obligations as a condition to the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit, as referenced
in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(F) and as provided in Section 2.14(c);

     (ii) the Swing Line Lender may require the Borrower or Impacted Lender to provide
Adequate Assurance, which may include cash collateral, for the Impacted Lender’s share of
the L/C Obligations as a condition to the making or extension of Swing Line Loans, as
referenced in Section 2.04(a) and as provided in Section 2.14(c); and

     (iii) the Impacted Lender may be replaced as provided in Section 9.15.

     (c) Provision of Cash Collateral and Adequate Assurance. Where cash collateral or
other Adequate Assurance is provided in respect of the obligations of a Defaulting Lender or a
Impacted Lender, the cash collateral will be held in a blocked non-interest bearing deposit account
with the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as appropriate, to secure the obligations of the
Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as appropriate, and
the Borrower, the Defaulting Lender, the Impacted Lender or other party providing the cash
collateral or other Adequate Assurance pledges and grants a security interest therein to the L/C
Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as appropriate, and the pledgor will provide, promptly on request, a deposit account
control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as
appropriate.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

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

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

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

     (c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section)
withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall
make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a
Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as
required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or
liability delivered to the Borrower by a

49

 

Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

     (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of any return required by Law to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

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

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

50

 

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

     (B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or any
applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect
to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon
the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign
Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

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

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

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

51

 

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

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer 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.

     3.02 Illegality.

     If any Lender determines, upon advice of counsel, that any Law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the Eurodollar Base Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars
in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, from the date of such notice to the date such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist:

     (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to
convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended and the Borrower shall,
upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay such
Eurodollar Loans or convert all
Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (with the Base Rate determined other
than by reference to the

52

 

Eurodollar Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans
to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loan; and

     (ii) if such notice relates to the unlawfulness or asserted unlawfulness of charging
interest based on the Eurodollar Base Rate, then all Base Rate Loans shall accrue interest
at a Base Rate determined without reference to the Eurodollar Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and despite the illegality for such a Lender to make, maintain or
fund Eurodollar Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate, that Lender shall remain committed to make Base Rate Loans
and shall be entitled to recover interest thereon based on the Base Rate (determined other than by
reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate). Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall
also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

     If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and
each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans
and Base Rate Loans as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base
Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing
that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans that
are Base Rate Loans (with the Base Rate determined other than by reference to the Eurodollar Base
Rate) in the amount specified therein.

     3.04 Increased Cost; Capital Adequacy.

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

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

     (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter

53

 

of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments
to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of,
any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

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

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

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

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A duly executed certificate of a Lender or the
L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified
in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt
thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the

54

 

foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of
such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

     3.05 Compensation for Losses.

     Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

     (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on
the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

     (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
9.15; or

     (d) an assignment by Bank of America as part of the primary syndication of the
Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans during the one hundred and eighty (180)-day period
immediately following the Closing Date, provided that Bank of America agrees to use
reasonable efforts to reduce the breakage costs payable by the Borrower in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, to the
extent reasonably practical, closing such assignments at the end of Interest Periods of
outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans);

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees
payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall
also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the
foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this
Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by
it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and
for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

55

 

     3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 9.15.

     3.07 Survival Losses.

     All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation
of the Administrative Agent.

threatened by any governmental or other entity, (i) with respect to any alleged violation of
any Environmental Laws in connection with the conduct of the Borrower and relating to a
Hazardous Substance or (ii) with respect to any alleged failure to have any permit,
certificate, license, approval, registration or authorization required in connection with
the conduct of the Borrower relating to a Hazardous Substance or (iii) with respect to any
generation, treatment, storage, recycling, transportation, disposal or release (including a
release as defined in 42 U.S.C. Section 9601(22)) (“Release”) of any Hazardous
Substance used by the Borrower, which alleged violation, alleged failure to have any
required permit, certificate, license, approval, or registration, or generation, treatment,
storage, recycling, transportation, disposal or release, is reasonably likely to result in
liability to the Borrower in excess of $1 million in any instance or $5 million in the
aggregate.

     (b) (i) To the Borrower’s knowledge, there has been no Release of a Hazardous Substance
at, on or under any property used by the Borrower or for which the Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries would be liable, which Release, is reasonably likely to result in
liability to the Borrower in excess of $1 million in any instance or $5 million in the
aggregate; (ii) to the Borrower’s knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any of its Material
Subsidiaries has, other than as a generator or in a manner not regulated or prohibited under
the Environmental Laws, stored or treated any “hazardous waste” (as defined in 42 U.S.C.
Section 6903(5)) on any property used by the Borrower or for which the Borrower or any of
its Material Subsidiaries would be liable, except for such storage or treatment which is not
reasonably likely to result in liability to the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries
in excess of $1 million in any instance or $5 million in the aggregate; and (iii) to the
Borrower’s knowledge no polychlorinated biphenyl (“PCB”) in concentrations greater
than 50 parts per million, friable asbestos, or underground storage tank (in use or
abandoned) is at any property used by the Borrower or for which the Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries would be liable, except for such PCBs, friable asbestos or underground
storage tanks that are not reasonably likely to result in liability to the Borrower or any
of its Material Subsidiaries in excess of $1 million in any instance or $5 million in the
aggregate.

     (c) To the knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower nor any of its Material
Subsidiaries has transported or arranged for the transportation (directly or indirectly) of

(“CERCLA”), on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Information System, as amended (“CERCLIS”), or on any similar state list

60

 

or which is the subject of any federal state or local enforcement action or other investigation which
may lead to claims for clean-up costs, remedial work, damages to natural resources or for
personal injury claims, including, but not limited to, claims under CERCLA, that are
reasonably likely to result in liability to the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries
in excess of $1 million in any instance or $5 million in the aggregate.

     (d) No written notification of a Release of a Hazardous Substance has been filed by or
on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries, which individually or in
combination with other
such Releases, is reasonably likely to result in liability for the Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries in excess of $1 million in any instance or $5 million in the
aggregate.

     (e) There have been no environmental audits or similar investigations conducted by or
which are in the possession of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries in relation
to any property used by the Borrower or for which the Borrower or any of its Material
Subsidiaries would be liable, which identify one or more environmental liabilities of the
Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries which are reasonably likely to exceed $1
million in any instance or $5 million in the aggregate.

     5.07 Material Subsidiaries and Specified Affiliates.

     Set forth on Schedule 5.07 hereto is a complete and accurate list of all of the
Material Subsidiaries of the Borrower, showing as to each such Material Subsidiary the jurisdiction
of its organization, the number of shares of each class of capital stock or other equity interests
outstanding and the percentage of the outstanding shares of each such class owned (directly or
indirectly) by the Borrower or any other Material Subsidiary of the Borrower and the number of
shares covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase, and similar
rights. All of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of all of such Material
Subsidiaries identified in such Schedule 5.07 as being owned by the Borrower or any of its
Material Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned
directly or indirectly by the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries, as the case may be,
free and clear of all Liens other than a Lien described in and permitted by Section 6.07
hereof. The Borrower may provide periodic updates of the information in Schedule 5.07,
which shall be deemed modified to include the updated information.

     5.08 Not an Investment Company.

     Neither the Borrower nor any of its Material Subsidiaries is an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     5.09 Margin Stock.

     No proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend
credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” in violation of
Regulations U, T or X.

61

 

     5.10 Compliance with Laws.

     Except as set forth on Schedule 5.10 attached hereto and made a part hereof or as
previously disclosed in writing to the Lenders prior to the date hereof, the Borrower and each of
its Material Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws), and is not in violation of, or
in default under, any term or provision of any charter, bylaw, mortgage, indenture, agreement,
instrument, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order, writ or injunction applicable to
it, except for any such non-compliance, violation, default or failure to comply which would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.11 Absence of Liens.

     There are no Liens of any nature whatsoever on any properties or assets of the Borrower or any
of its Material Subsidiaries, except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.07 hereof.

     5.12 Indebtedness.

     Other than as set forth on Schedule 5.12 hereto, there is no material Indebtedness of
the Borrower and its Material Subsidiaries outstanding as of the date hereof. The Borrower may
provide periodic updates of the information in Schedule 5.12, which shall be deemed
modified to include the updated information.

     5.13 Contingent Liabilities.

     As of the Closing Date, other than as set forth on Schedule 5.13 there are no material
contingent liabilities (other than contingent liabilities that constitute Funded Debt and material
contingent liabilities arising out of customary indemnifications given by the Borrower or its

market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower hereby agrees

and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall
appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the
Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, BAS, the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with
respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state
securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials
constitute Confidential Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.08);
(y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a

67

 

portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent

     (b) The Borrower will maintain, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, with
financially sound and responsible insurance companies, insurance on all their respective properties
in at least such amounts and against such risks (and with such risk retention) as are usually
insured against in the same general area by companies of established repute engaged in the same or
a similar business, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon request from the Administrative Agent,
information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. The insurance described
in this Section 6.03 may be carried by the tenants under the respective tenant leases of

force and effect, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve, renew and keep in full force

Effect; provided that nothing in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit (a) the merger of
a Subsidiary of the Borrower into the Borrower or the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary of
the Borrower with or into another Person if the corporation surviving such consolidation or merger

Borrower or the discontinuation of any line of business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

Lenders.

respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of governmental

inspection rights of Borrower in connection therewith), to examine and make abstracts from any of
their respective books and records and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     8.01 Appointment and Authority.

     Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article
VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer,
and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

     8.02 Rights as a Lender.

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

     8.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

     The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:

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

     (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated

79

 

hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that,
in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

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

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 and 7.01) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice
describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a
Lender or the L/C Issuer.

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

     8.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

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

80

 

making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

     8.05 Delegation of Duties.

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

     8.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
forty-five (45) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, 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 Credit Documents 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 L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed
between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections
9.04 and 9.05 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.

81

 

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

     8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

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

     8.08 No Other Duties, Etc.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Syndication Agents,
Co-Documentation Agents, Co-Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners listed on the cover
page hereof, if any, shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Credit Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative
Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

     8.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any
demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing
and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to

Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 9.04 and 9.05.

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

and in its discretion,

     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent
under any Credit Document (i) upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment in

     (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address
or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified
or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other
communications sent by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have
been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient,
shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the
recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the
extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative
Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified
the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept
notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to
particular notices or communications.

     Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website
shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.

     (c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE AGENT-RELATED

86

 

PERSONS DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY
OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER
MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
AGENT-RELATED PERSON IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall
the Administrative Agent or any Agent-Related Persons have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Agent-Related Person;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any
Agent-Related Person have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other
Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages).

     (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. In
addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that
the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent
and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to
cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected
the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the
Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the
“Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or
state securities laws.

     (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any
other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses
and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person

87

 

on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to
and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

     9.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

     No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as
a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents against the
Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at
law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.01 for the benefit of all the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its
benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may
be) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 9.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.12), or (d) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the
pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the
rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01 and (ii) in
addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the
preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.12, any Lender may, with the consent of the
Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required
Lenders.

     9.04 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

     The Borrower agrees (a) to pay directly to the provider thereof or to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation, negotiation and execution of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the
preservation of any rights or remedies under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents,
and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated), and the
consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all
Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each
Arranger, and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred following an Event of Default in
connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights

88

 

or remedies under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including all such
costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and
during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all
Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording,
title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and
other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under
this Section 9.04 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
and repayment of all other Obligations.

     9.05 Indemnification by the Borrower.

     (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Agent-Related Person, the L/C Issuer,
each Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
counsel, agents, trustees, advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”)
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind
or nature whatsoever (subject to the provisions of Section 3.01 with respect to Taxes and
Other Taxes) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnitee (whether by a Credit Party or any other party) in any way relating to or arising out of
or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of
any Credit Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b)
any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the L/C Issuer 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), or (c) any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory
(including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim,
investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to an Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall
be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials
obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with
this Credit Agreement, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability for any indirect, special,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or
after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within
ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the assignment by any Lender of any of its interests
hereunder, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate

89

 

Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other
Obligations.

     (b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 9.04 or Section 9.05(a) to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related
Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Aggregate Commitment Percentage or, in the case of L/C Obligations, Revolving Commitment Percentage
(determined in each case as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (b) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.11(f).

     9.06 Payments Set Aside.

     To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and
such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid
to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date
of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate
from time to time in effect.

     9.07 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this
Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be

90

 

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

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),
participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

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

     (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not
be less than $2.5 million, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible
Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum
amount has been met.

     (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned,
except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and
obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

91

 

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

     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

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

     (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of
the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether
or not then outstanding); and

     (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of Revolving
Commitments.

     (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing
and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

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

     (vii) No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders or Impacted Lenders. No assignment
may be made to a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Credit 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

92

 

this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05, 9.04 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its
expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection 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 subsection (d) of this
Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 amounts 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 Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit 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.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement.

     Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce such Lender’s rights under this
Credit Agreement (subject to Section 9.03) and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 9.01
that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and
3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a
Lender.

93

 

     (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any)
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.

     (g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i)
upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii)
upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any
such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint
(with such appointee’s consent) from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as
the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding
as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect
thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America
resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for
hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of
such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(b). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer 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 Bank of America to effectively assume the
obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     9.08 Confidentiality.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential

94

 

Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of
or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or any Eligible
Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 9.15 or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and
its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Confidential
Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

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

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the
Confidential Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a
Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of
material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

     9.09 Set-off.

     In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates are
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other
Credit Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each
Credit Party) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and

95

 

\

all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other
indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
the respective Credit Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or
under any other Credit Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the
Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a
currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application
made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

     9.10 Interest Rate Limitation.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid
or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and
(c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

     9.11 Counterparts.

     This Credit Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     9.12 Integration; Effectiveness.

     (a) This Credit Agreement, together with the other Credit Documents, comprises the complete
and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all
prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between
the provisions of this Credit Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of
this Credit Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or
remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Credit Document shall not
be deemed a conflict with this Credit Agreement. Each Credit Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor
of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Credit Agreement shall become effective
when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative

96

 

Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     9.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

     All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Extension of Credit,
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

     9.14 Severability.

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

     9.15 Replacement of Lenders.

     If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”)
does not consent to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination with
respect to any Credit Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders (including, without
limitation by a failure to respond in writing to a proposed amendment by the date and time
specified by the Administrative Agent) as provided in Section 9.01 but requires unanimous
consent of all Lenders, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or Impacted Lender, or (e) any Lender
breaches the terms of this Credit Agreement in a material manner, then the Borrower may, at its
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.07), all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that:

97

 

     (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 9.07(b);

     (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts);

     (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments thereafter; and

     (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

     (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s
failure to consent to a proposed amendment, consent change, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to any Credit Document, the applicable replacement bank or
financial institution consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination;

     provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and
deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of
such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting
Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 9.15
shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender
of an Assignment and Assumption.

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

     9.16 GOVERNING LAW.

     (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY
THEREOF, IN

98

 

ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE 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
CREDIT AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING
TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER CREDIT
PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE
OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 9.02. NOTHING IN THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT WILL
AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW.

     9.17 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

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

99

 

OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

     9.18 No Conflict.

     To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions hereof and the
provisions of any Credit Document, this Credit Agreement shall control.

     9.19 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

     Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and
not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the
Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower in
accordance with the Patriot Act.

     9.20 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

     In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit
Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding,
that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders,
on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax
advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating,
and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers
and the Lenders has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by
the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or
fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly
set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and
none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any
of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

100

Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall
be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of
which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and
as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Exhibit 6.20

FORM OF GUARANTY

     THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated as of                      ___, 20___ (this “Guaranty”) is given by

     Each of the Persons identified as a “Guarantor” on the signature pages hereto and from time to
time joined as a Guarantor hereunder (the “Guarantors”); in favor of

     BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
dated as of September 30, 2009 (as amended, modified, supplemented and extended from time to time,
the “Credit Agreement”) among Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation
(the “Borrower”), the Lenders identified therein and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Credit
Agreement.

RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed, subject to certain terms
and conditions, to make available Loans and Letters of Credit to the Borrower;

     WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary or Specified
Affiliate of the Borrower; and

     WHEREAS, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have required, among other
things, each of the Guarantors to guarantee all of the Borrower’s obligations arising under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents referred to therein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the execution and delivery by the Lenders of the
Credit Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, receipt whereof is hereby
acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

     1. Guarantee of Payment. The Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantee, as primary obligors and not merely as surety on a joint and several basis, to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders the prompt payment, when due, by acceleration or otherwise, of
the Indebtedness. For the purposes hereof, “Indebtedness” shall mean, without duplication,
(i) all obligations of the Borrower (including interest accruing after an event of bankruptcy or
insolvency, regardless of whether such interest is allowed as a claim under the Bankruptcy Code) to
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, whenever arising, under the Credit Agreement, the Notes
or the other Credit Documents, (ii) all liabilities and obligations, whenever arising, owing from
the Borrower or any obligor to any Lender, or any affiliate of a Lender (even if such Lender
subsequently ceases to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement for any reason), arising under any
interest rate protection or currency exchange agreement relating to the Obligations under the
Credit Agreement or entered into in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative
purposes, and (iii) any agreement between any Credit Party and any Lender of Affiliate of a Lender
governing the provision of treasury or cash management services, including deposit accounts, funds
transfer, automated clearinghouse, credit or debit card, zero

 

 

balance accounts, returned check concentration, controlled disbursement, lockbox, account
reconciliation and reporting and trade finance services, in each case whether such Indebtedness is
now existing or hereafter arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, and howsoever evidenced, held or acquired, as such Indebtedness may be modified,
extended, renewed or replaced from time to time. The guaranty of the Guarantors as set forth in
this section is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
Documents, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to an aggregate amount
equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance
under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any
applicable state law.

     2. Release of Collateral, Parties Liable, etc. Each of the Guarantors agrees that the
whole or any part of the security now or hereafter held for the Indebtedness may be exchanged,
compromised, released or surrendered from time to time; that neither the Administrative Agent nor
the Lenders shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any Liens now or
hereafter held for the Indebtedness or the properties subject thereto; that the time or place of
payment of the Indebtedness may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or
otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; that the Borrower may be granted
indulgences generally; that any provisions of the Credit Documents or any other documents executed
in connection with this transaction, may be modified, amended or waived; that any party liable for
the payment of the Indebtedness may be granted indulgences or released; and that any deposit
balance for the credit of the Borrower or any other party liable for the payment of the
Indebtedness or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before
and/or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Indebtedness, all without notice
to or further assent by the Guarantors, who shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such
exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or
release.

     3. Waiver of Rights. Each of the Guarantors expressly waives: (a) notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and of all extensions of
credit to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (b) presentment and demand for
payment of any of the Indebtedness; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default to such
Guarantor or to any other party with respect to the Indebtedness or with respect to any security
therefor; (d) notice of the Administrative Agent or any Lender obtaining, amending, substituting
for, releasing, waiving or modifying the Indebtedness, any security interest, Liens, or the
encumbrances now or hereafter securing the Indebtedness, or the Administrative Agent’s or any
Lender’s subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, Liens or
encumbrances; (e) all other notices to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; (f) demand
for payment under this Guaranty; and (g) any right to assert against the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, or cross-claim any defense (legal or equitable),
set-off, counterclaim or claim which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have against the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or the Borrower, but such waiver shall not prevent such
Guarantor from asserting against the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a separate action, any
claim, action, cause of action, or demand that such Guarantor might have, whether or not arising
out of this Guaranty.

 

 

     4. Primary Liability of Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors agrees that this Guaranty
may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of
resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time
of having recourse to the Notes or any collateral now or hereafter securing the Indebtedness or
otherwise, and each of the Guarantors hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to proceed against the Borrower or any other person (including a co-guarantor) or
to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other
right. In addition, each of the Guarantors hereby waives and renounces any and all rights it has
or may have for subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower for
amounts paid under this Guaranty. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of
any claim in respect of such subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution by a Guarantor
against the estate of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 101 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, and to prevent such Guarantor from being deemed a “creditor” of the Borrower in
respect of such subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution within the meaning of Section
547(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the event of a subsequent case involving the
Borrower. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders from suing on the Notes or foreclosing its security interest in
or Lien on any collateral now or hereafter securing the Indebtedness or from exercising any other
rights available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Notes, or any other
instrument of security if neither the Borrower nor the Guarantors timely perform the obligations of
the Borrower thereunder, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any
foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder;
it being the purpose and intent of each of the Guarantors that such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
Neither the Guarantors’ obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof
shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment,
modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of the Borrower, by reason of the
Borrower’s bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or
any portion of the Indebtedness. Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that the term “Indebtedness”
as used herein includes any payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
and subsequently recovered by the Borrower or a trustee for the Borrower pursuant to the Borrower’s
bankruptcy or insolvency and that the guaranty of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be
reinstated to the extent of such recovery.

     5. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs of Collection. If at any time or times after the
occurrence of an Event of Default the Administrative Agent or the Lenders employ counsel to pursue
collection, to intervene, to sue for enforcement of the terms hereof or of the Notes, or to file a
petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading in any suit or proceeding relating to this
Guaranty or the Notes, then in such event, all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees relating thereto
shall be an additional liability of the Guarantors to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
hereunder, payable on demand.

     6. Security Interests and Setoff. As security for such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder, each Guarantor agrees that in the event such Guarantor fails to pay its obligations
hereunder when due and payable under this Guaranty, (a) any of such Guarantor’s assets of any kind,
nature or description (including, without limitation, deposit accounts) in the possession, control
or custody of the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, without prior notice (but promptly
confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to

 

 

such Guarantor, provided that failure to provide such written confirmation will not affect
the liabilities of such Guarantor hereunder) to such Guarantor, be reduced to cash or the like and
applied by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in reduction or payment of such Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder; and (b) the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right,
immediately and without further action by them, to set off pro tanto against the
Indebtedness all money owed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in any capacity to such
Guarantor, whether or not due, and the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be deemed to have
made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of such obligation becoming
due even though such charge is made or entered on the books of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender subsequent thereto.

     7. Term of Guarantee; Warranties. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and
effect until the Indebtedness is fully and indefeasibly paid, performed and discharged and all
Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated. This Guaranty covers the
Indebtedness whether presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof including all
amounts advanced by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in stages or installments. Each
Guarantor warrants and represents to the Administrative Agent (i) that such Guarantor is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation, (ii) that such Guarantor has all corporate powers and all material
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as
now conducted, (iii) that the execution and delivery by such Guarantor of this Guaranty and the
other Credit Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such Guarantor of its
obligations hereunder and thereunder are within the corporate power of such Guarantor, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing
with, any governmental body, agency or official (except for any such action or filing that has been
taken and is in full force and effect) and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any
provision of applicable law or regulation or of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or
other constitutional documents) of such Guarantor or of any material agreement, judgment,
injunction, order, decree, or other material instrument binding upon such Guarantor or result in
the creation or imposition (other than pursuant to the Credit Documents) of any Lien on any asset
of such Guarantor and (iv) that this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents to which such
Guarantor is a party constitute valid and binding agreements of such Guarantor and, when executed
and delivered will constitute valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor enforceable in
accordance with their terms.

     8. Further Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor agrees that the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders will have no obligation to investigate the financial condition
or affairs of the Borrower for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any
fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or affairs of the Borrower which might
come to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time, whether or not the
Administrative Agent or any Lender knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such
fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor or might (or does) materially increase the risk of such
Guarantor as guarantor or might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as
guarantor with respect to the Indebtedness.

     9. Additional Liability of Guarantors. If any Guarantor is or becomes liable for any
indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by endorsement or
otherwise other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or
reduced hereby but shall have all and the same force and effect it would have had if this

 

 

Guaranty had not existed and such Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be in any manner
impaired or reduced thereby.

     10. Cumulative Rights. All rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
hereunder or otherwise arising under any documents executed in connection with or as security for
the Indebtedness are separate and cumulative and may be pursued separately, successively or
concurrently, or not pursued, without affecting or limiting any other right of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender and without affecting or impairing the liability of the Guarantors.

     11. Usury. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein contained, no provision of
this Guaranty shall require or permit the collection from any Guarantor of interest in excess of
the maximum rate or amount that such Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay pursuant to any
applicable law. In the event any such interest is collected, it shall be applied in reduction of
the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, and the remainder of such excess collected shall be returned
to the Guarantors once such obligations have been fully satisfied.

     12. The Administrative Agent. In acting under or by virtue of this Guaranty, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges and immunities
provided in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, all of which provisions are incorporated by
reference herein with the same force and effect as if set forth herein. Each of the Guarantors
hereby releases the Administrative Agent from any liability for any act or omission relating to
this Guaranty, except such as may result from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

     13. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding on and enforceable against
each Guarantor and its successors and assigns. This Guaranty is intended for and shall inure to
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each and every person who shall from
time to time be or become the owner or holder of any of the Indebtedness, and each and every
reference herein to “Administrative Agent” or “Lender” shall include and refer to each and every
successor or assignee of the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time holding or owning any
part of or interest in any part of the Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be transferable and
negotiable with the same force and effect, and to the same extent, that the Indebtedness is
transferable and negotiable, it being understood and stipulated that upon assignment or transfer by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any of the Indebtedness the legal holder or owner of the
Indebtedness (or a part thereof or interest therein thus transferred or assigned by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender) shall (except as otherwise stipulated by the Administrative
Agent or any such Lender in its assignment) have and may exercise all of the rights granted to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Guaranty to the extent of that part of or interest
in the Indebtedness thus assigned or transferred to said person. Each Guarantor expressly waives
notice of transfer or assignment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, or of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder. Failure to give notice will not affect the
liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder.

     14. Application of Payments. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall apply any
payments received pursuant to this Guaranty as set forth in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

 

     15. Modifications. This Guaranty and the provisions hereof may be changed, discharged
or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Guarantors affected thereby
and the Administrative Agent.

     16. Discharge and Release. In the event that (i) any Guarantor is sold as
contemplated by Section 6.08(b) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) this Guaranty or any portion hereof
is released as contemplated by Section 9.01(a)(vi) of the Credit Agreement or (iii) the
indebtedness shall have been paid in full and the obligations of the Lenders to extend credit to
the Borrower under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated, the Administrative Agent, on behalf
of the Lenders, shall discharge and release the relevant Guarantor(s) from all of its obligations
under this Guaranty. Upon any such release and discharge, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the Lenders, will execute and deliver to the relevant Guarantor(s) such documents as such
Guarantor(s) shall reasonably request to evidence such discharge and release.

     17. Notices. All communications provided for herein shall be made as set forth in
Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

     18. Severability. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Guaranty shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     19. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE

IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF
THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO

July 20, 2009

Teachers Insurance and Annuity

   Association of America (the “Lender”)

	 	Re:	 	TIAA Authorization #AAA-6907

Investment ID. #0006733

Property Name: Nashville Portfolio

Property Addresses: (various);

Nashville, Tennessee

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The undersigned Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Applicant”), with an
address at 3310 West End Avenue, Suite 700, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, applies for a loan (the
“Loan”) upon the terms and subject to the provisions set forth in this Loan Application and
Commitment Agreement (the “Agreement”), on behalf of a to-be-formed, special-purpose
limited liability company (the “Borrower”):

1. LOAN TERMS:

	 	(a)	 	Loan Amount: $31,250,000.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Interest Rate:

     (i) 7.25% per annum (the “Fixed Interest Rate”) for the Initial Term
(defined herein); and

     (ii) 400 basis points (i.e., hundredths of 1% per annum) over the
one-month LIBOR rate (the “Floating Interest Rate”), but with a floor rate
of 7.25% for any Extension Term (defined herein).

     (c) Initial Term: 7 years from the first day of the first calendar month following
Closing (defined herein).

     (d) Extension Terms: Borrower shall have the option to extend the Initial Term for
two, one-year floating rate Extension Terms in accordance with the provisions contained in
Exhibit H-1. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Term” shall mean the Initial
Term as it may be extended for one or both of the Extension Terms.

     (e) Repayment Terms: Monthly installments of principal and fixed interest calculated
on a 30-year amortization schedule. The Fixed Interest Rate shall be calculated on a 30-day
month/360-day year, except that payments for the first and last months of the Term, if such
payments pertain to partial months, shall be based upon the actual number of days in such months
that the Loan is outstanding and a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable. The entire outstanding
principal balance plus all accrued interest and any

 

 

other sums due under the Loan Documents (defined herein) will be due and payable upon the
expiration of the Term.

     (f) Optional Prepayment: Borrower, at Borrower’s option, may elect to prepay the
Loan in whole, but not in part, on the first day of any calendar month, upon not less than 60 days’
prior written notice to Lender and in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be permitted to make such a prepayment election during
the first 24 months of the Initial Term.

2. CLOSING, CLOSING DATE AND LOAN DISBURSEMENT:

     Upon Acceptance (defined herein), and Borrower’s compliance on or before the date that is 60
days after Acceptance (the “Closing Date”) with all of the provisions of this Agreement,
Lender will disburse the Loan Amount at or from Lender’s offices in New York, New York (the
“Closing”).

3. SECURITY FOR LOAN:

     The Loan will be secured by a first lien on Borrower’s interests in the land, the improvements
(the “Improvements”) and the other real property interests described in Exhibit C,
by a first security interest in the personal property and other intangibles described in
Exhibit C, by a collateral assignment of the leases affecting, and the rents, issues,
profits and revenues arising from, such property, and by the additional collateral, security and
security interests, if any, described or referred to in Exhibit
C (collectively, the
“Property”).

4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

     The Loan will be non-recourse to Borrower except for the carve-outs from non-recourse that are
specified in Exhibit G. Borrower will deliver to Lender a Guaranty of Borrower’s recourse
obligations under the Loan (the “Carve-Out Guaranty”) at Closing, executed by Applicant (in
such capacity, the “Guarantor”).

5. ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY:

     At Closing, Borrower will deliver to Lender an Environmental Indemnity (the
“Environmental Indemnity”) executed by Applicant (in such capacity, the
“Indemnitor”) in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender.

6. ACCUMULATIONS:

     At Closing and monthly thereafter, Borrower shall, pursuant to an agreement reasonably
acceptable to Lender, deposit reserves for taxes and assessments against the Property with Lender
or Lender’s designated agent in such amounts as Lender or its designated agent reasonably estimates
to be necessary to permit Lender or its designated agent to pay such taxes and assessments as and
when they are due during the Term. Any funds remaining in the account upon the expiration of the
Term or permitted prepayment of the Loan will be returned to Borrower.

2

 

7. DEPOSITS, FEES AND EXPENSES:

     (a) Simultaneously with Applicant’s submission of this Agreement,
Applicant is delivering to Lender the following fees:

     (i) 1% of the Loan Amount (the “Application Fee”);

     (ii) $75,400 (the “Consultant Fees”) to be used only after Acceptance (unless
Applicant gives Lender written authorization for use prior to Acceptance) to pay for the
Appraisal, the Environmental and Compliance Reports and the Engineering Reports (all
defined in Exhibit G) together with the attendant inspections (collectively, the
“Consultants’ Inspections and
Reports”);

     (iii) an administrative fee of $100,000 (the “Administrative Fee”) for
Lender’s time and services in preparing this Agreement and in preparing for Closing, which
Administrative Fee is deemed earned and nonrefundable upon Applicant’s submission of this
Agreement; and

     (iv) a retainer for Lender’s outside counsel legal fees (the “Lender Legal
Fees”) incurred or payable in connection with the Loan in the amount of $20,000 (the
“Legal Fee Retainer”).

     (b) The Application Fee, the Legal Fee Retainer, and the Letter of Credit (defined herein) or
the Additional Cash Deposit (defined herein) are in consideration of Lender’s locking the Fixed
Interest Rate and conducting due diligence and analysis of the Loan, all of which Applicant
acknowledges to have significant commercial value. If Lender does not accept this Agreement, Lender
will return (i) the Application Fee less any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses (not otherwise
stated herein) actually incurred by Lender to date, (ii) the Legal Fee Retainer less any reasonable
Lender Legal Fees incurred or payable as of that date, and (iii) the Consultant Fees less any
expenses for the Consultants’ Inspections and Reports incurred by Lender pursuant to Applicant’s
specific written authorization. After Acceptance, Applicant agrees to pay upon demand, regardless
of whether the Loan closes and as an obligation that survives Closing or the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, any costs of the Consultants’ Inspections and Reports that exceed
the Consultant Fees and any reasonable Lender Legal Fees that exceed the Legal Fee Retainer.

     (c) Within 10 days following Acceptance, Applicant will deliver to Lender either an
irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) or, at Applicant’s
election, a cash deposit (the “Additional Cash Deposit”) in an amount equal to 1% of the

Association of America”, irrevocable, expiring no less than 60 days after the Closing Date, issued
and payable by a bank approved by Lender, and unconditionally available to Lender by Lender’s
drafts, at sight. If the Letter of Credit is not issued and payable by a New York City bank, said

     (d) Lender is not obligated to pay any brokerage fee or commission or any other premium or
charge in connection with this Agreement or with Closing that is based on any agreement or
understanding of Applicant or Borrower with a broker, agent or finder. Borrower will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Lender against any claim for such fees, commissions, premiums or charges
based on any such agreement or understanding with Applicant or Borrower, regardless of whether
Lender accepts this Agreement or the Loan closes. This obligation on the part of Borrower survives
Closing or the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

8. ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE:

     Unless and until Acceptance occurs, this Agreement constitutes Applicant’s offer for Borrower
to borrow the Loan Amount from Lender upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
In consideration of Lender’s engaging in initial due diligence and analysis with respect to the
proposed Loan, Applicant agrees that such offer is irrevocable and exclusive for 15 days from the
date Lender or its designated servicer or correspondent receives this Agreement executed by
Applicant, together with the Consultant Fees, the Application Fee and the Legal Fee Retainer. All
prior representations and understandings between Applicant and Lender with respect to Applicant’s
offer to borrow are merged into this Agreement. Lender may accept or decline this offer in
Lender’s sole discretion. This Agreement is not a binding commitment unless and until Lender
accepts this Agreement as provided herein. Unless and until Acceptance occurs, Applicant is
obligated only to maintain this Agreement as an irrevocable and exclusive offer for the time
specified and to pay the fees, costs and expenses set forth in this Agreement and Lender is
obligated only to return such fees as provided herein. If Lender approves Applicant’s application
as described in this Agreement, Lender will execute and date this Agreement (the
“Acceptance”). Upon Acceptance, this Agreement becomes a binding agreement, enforceable
against Applicant and Lender, that obligates Borrower to accept and Lender to make the Loan upon
and subject to the provisions contained in this Agreement, which alone sets forth the entire
understanding between Applicant and Lender with respect to the Loan. As soon as practicable after
Acceptance, Lender will deliver a copy of this Agreement to Applicant.

9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY BORROWER:

     Applicant agrees that the following representations and warranties will be correct at

     After Acceptance, Lender’s approval of, consent to or satisfaction with any matter referred to
in this Agreement will not be unreasonably withheld unless expressly provided otherwise.

14. ASSIGNMENT:

     Applicant will not assign this Agreement without Lender’s prior consent, which may be
withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

6

 

15. APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION:

     This Agreement is delivered in the State of New York and is intended to be performed in New
York and construed in accordance with the laws of New York, except to the extent otherwise set
forth in the Loan Documents. All legal proceedings arising out of this Agreement will be litigated
in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York and Applicant consents and submits to
the jurisdiction of such courts, agrees to institute any litigation arising out of this Agreement
in such courts, consents to service of process by mail and waives any right it may have to transfer
or change the venue of any litigation brought against Applicant by Lender arising out of this
Agreement.

16. AMENDMENTS:

     Before Acceptance, Applicant cannot amend this Agreement except in writing and with Lender’s
prior consent, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion. After Acceptance, except as
expressly provided herein, this Agreement can only be amended by an Agreement signed by Applicant
and Lender. After Acceptance, Lender reserves the right:

     (i) to waive, in whole or in part, any of the provisions benefiting Lender or to
extend unilaterally any date or time period prescribed for the performance by
Applicant hereunder to enable Applicant to so perform; and

     (ii) to extend unilaterally the Closing Date as Lender, acting in
good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, deems necessary;
provided, however, that such extensions of the Closing Date shall not
exceed 60 days in the aggregate.

17. RETURN OF LOAN DEPOSIT AND EXCESS CONSULTANT FEES AND EXCESS LEGAL FEE RETAINER UPON CLOSING:

     If the Closing occurs, then Lender shall return to Applicant at Closing the Loan Deposit, any
unused Consultant Fees and any unused portion of the Legal Fee Retainer as follows:

     (a) If there are no post-closing requirements to be completed, Lender will refund the Loan
Deposit to Applicant, less any sums due to or on behalf of Lender (the “Net Cash Deposit”)
at Closing upon Lender’s receipt of Applicant’s original, executed wiring instructions. Lender
will also (i) deduct any Lender Legal Fees from the Legal Fee Retainer and then refund any excess
portion of Legal Fee Retainer to Applicant at Closing, and (ii) deduct the costs of any of the
Consultants’ Inspections and Reports from the Consultant Fees and then refund any excess portion of
the Consultant Fees to Applicant at Closing.

     (b) If there are any post-closing requirements to be completed, Lender will retain the portion
of the Net Cash Deposit reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary as a reserve for costs
(including any additional Lender Legal Fees) that Lender may incur in connection with Borrower’s
satisfaction of such post-closing requirements. Upon Borrower’s satisfactory

7

 

completion of such post-closing requirements, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower, upon
receipt of Borrower’s wiring instructions, such retained portion of the Net Cash Deposit, less any
sums due to or on behalf of Lender.

18. TERMINATION:

     (a) Subject to Section 18(b), if Applicant fails to deliver the Letter of Credit or
Additional Cash Deposit, as applicable, within 10 days after Acceptance or if Closing does not
occur on or before the Closing Date due to Applicant’s failure to comply with the terms of this
Agreement, then Lender will have the right to retain, as Lender’s sole and exclusive remedy, the
Loan Deposit, which Applicant agrees will be fully earned by Lender as liquidated damages (the
“Liquidated Damages”) to compensate Lender in some measure for time spent, services
performed, expenses incurred and losses that Lender may incur. Applicant acknowledges that it
would be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by
failure of the Loan to close, and that the Liquidated Damages represent a reasonable estimate of
Lender’s damages and are not a penalty. If any remedy described in this Agreement is denied,
Lender may pursue any alternate remedy at law or in equity.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Lender does not approve the Appraisal, (ii) Lender
cannot comply with any Law, (iii) provided Applicant has complied with all other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Lender’s approval of the Engineering Report or the Environmental and
Compliance Report is conditioned upon remediation of specified conditions, the cost of which
exceeds the greater of 2% of the Loan Amount or $1,000,000 in the aggregate (as reasonably
determined by Lender), and Applicant has determined not to
proceed with the necessary remediation, or (iv) the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing
Date for any other reason (including a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 20(f) hereof), other than Lender’s willful default or Applicant’s failure to comply with the
terms of this Agreement as set forth in Section 18(a), then, in any such event, Lender
shall give Applicant notice of same and, upon Applicant’s receipt of such notice, this Agreement
shall terminate. Lender’s sole obligation under such circumstances will be to return the Loan
Deposit to Applicant, together with (A) the excess of the Consultant Fees over the aggregate actual
costs of the Consultants’ Inspections and Reports, and (B) the excess of the Legal Fee Retainer
over the reasonable Lender Legal Fees incurred or payable to date, but less any sums due to or on
behalf of Lender under this Agreement, including, if such termination is pursuant to clause (iii)
above, a breakage fee in the amount of 1% of the Loan Amount.

19.
NOMINEE:

     After Acceptance and upon notice to Applicant, Lender may designate a nominee to perform
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and Applicant will cause every item or document which is
required under this Agreement to be delivered or assigned to Lender, to name and be delivered or
assigned to Lender’s nominee, provided that such designation must occur not later than 10
days prior to Closing and no such designation by Lender shall release or relieve Lender from the
performance of the duties and obligations of Lender hereunder.

8

 

20. MISCELLANEOUS:

     (a) Compliance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement by Applicant and Borrower
is a prerequisite to Lender’s making the Loan.

     (b) Applicant and Borrower shall retain all risk of loss with respect to the Property.

     (c) After Acceptance, Lender reserves the right to inspect the Property periodically
upon reasonable advance notice to Applicant.

     (d) Any agreement by or duty imposed on Applicant or Borrower in this Agreement to perform any
obligation or to refrain from any act or omission constitutes a covenant on its part and includes a
covenant by Applicant or Borrower, as the case may be, to cause its partners, members, principals,
agents, representatives and employees to perform the obligation or to refrain from the act or
omission in accordance with this Agreement. Any statement or disclosure contained in this
Agreement about facts or circumstances relating to the Property, Borrower or the Loan constitutes a
representation and warranty by Applicant made as of the date of Applicant’s execution of this
Agreement.

     (e) Any document, instrument or other writing to be delivered to or to be satisfactory to
Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Lender in both form and content.

     (f) Lender
shall not be obligated to close the Loan in the event that there is a
“Material
Adverse Change”, which shall mean a change that has a material adverse effect upon the use,
value or condition of the Property or upon the business, properties, assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) or results of operations of Borrower or Applicant. The parties hereto acknowledge
that the financial, real estate, banking and/or capital markets are presently subject to a material
disruption and that any further deterioration in (or adverse change affecting) any or all of such
markets as determined by Lender in its discretion would be deemed to be a Material Adverse Change
for all purposes hereunder.

     (g) That certain Confidentiality Letter dated May 7, 2009, between Applicant and TIAA-CREF
Global Investments, LLC remains in effect and shall not be modified or affected by the terms of
this Agreement. If the Loan does not close, the Confidentiality Letter shall thereafter remain in
effect in accordance with its terms. If the Loan closes, the Loan Documents will contain all
confidentiality obligations among Lender, Borrower, Guarantor and Indemnitor, and the terms and
provisions of the Confidentiality Letter will be merged therein.

PREPAY

EXHIBIT A

PREPAYMENT PREMIUM; EVASION OF PREPAYMENT PREMIUM

Prepayment Premium:

     Any prepayment made pursuant to Section 1(f) will include a simultaneous payment of
a prepayment premium equal to the amount which is the greater of (a) an amount equal to 1% (the
“Prepayment Percentage”) times the amount of the principal of the Loan outstanding on the
date of prepayment (the “Prepayment Date
Principal”), or (b) the amount by which the sum of
the Discounted Values (defined herein) of the Note Payments (defined herein), derived by using the
Discount Rate (defined herein), exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal. In order to calculate the
sum of the Discounted Values in the foregoing, each remaining Note Payment will be discounted and
the resulting Discounted Values will be added together. The Loan may be prepaid without premium
during the last 120 days of the Term.

Evasion of Prepayment Premium:

     If, at any time during the Term, the Loan is accelerated after an event of default or there is
any prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents, then any tender of payment of the amount
necessary to satisfy the entire Loan, any judgment of foreclosure, any sum due at foreclosure and
any tender of payment during any redemption period will include, to the extent permitted by Law, an
amount (the “Evasion of Prepayment
Premium”) which is the greater of (a) an amount equal to
the Prepayment Percentage plus 300 basis points times the Prepayment Date Principal, or (b) the
amount by which the sum of the Discounted Values of the Note Payments, derived by using the Default
Discount Rate (defined herein), exceeds the Prepayment Date Principal. In order to calculate the
sum of the Discounted Values in the foregoing, each remaining Note Payment will be discounted and
the resulting Discounted Values will be added together.

Defined Terms:

     (a) “Discount
Rate” means the annual yield on a U.S. Treasury issue
selected by Lender (or such other commonly used benchmark as Lender selects in its reasonable
discretion, if Lender determines that U.S. Treasury issues are not commonly used as benchmarks on
the date of calculation), as reported by Bloomberg.com (or in any similar national
financial newspaper, periodical or website designated by Lender if Bloomberg.com is not
available), two weeks prior to prepayment, having a maturity date corresponding (or most closely
corresponding, if not identical) to the last day of the then-existing Term, and, if applicable, a
coupon rate corresponding (or most closely corresponding, if not identical) to the Fixed Interest
Rate.

     (b) “Default Discount Rate” means the Discount Rate less 300 basis points.

A-1

 

     
(c) “Discounted Value” means the Discounted Value of a Note Payment
based on the following formula:

          NP        

     (1 + R/12)n = Discounted Value

	 	 	 	 	 
	NP

	 	=
	 	Amount of Note Payment.
	 
	R

	 	=
	 	Discount Rate or Default Discount Rate as the case may be.
	 
	n

	 	=
	 	The number of months between the date of prepayment and the scheduled
date of the Note Payment in question rounded to the nearest integer.

     (d) “Note Payments” means (i) each of the scheduled payments of
monthly debt service on the Loan for the period from the first day of the
month subsequent to the date of prepayment through the end of the then-existing Term and (ii) the scheduled repayment of principal, if any, at the
end of the Term.

LEASING

EXHIBIT B

PERMITTED FUTURE LEASING

     The Loan Documents will permit Borrower to enter into leases without Lender’s prior consent,
provided that there is no event of default under the Loan Documents then continuing, the
terms of the lease are consistent with generally prevailing market terms in the geographic region
in which the Property is located, and the lease either is written on a Lender-approved form of
lease or is submitted with Lender’s standard form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement executed by the tenant thereunder.

     If the Debt Service Coverage (defined herein) for the Loan declines below 1.30x, Lender
reserves the right to revoke, upon 60 days’ notice, Borrower’s privilege to enter into new
leases without Lender’s consent.

     The Loan Documents will require Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior consent to (a) any new lease
of 20,000 square feet or more of interior space within the Improvements, and/or (b) any new lease
representing 10% or more of the gross revenues or of the net rentable area of the Property.

     Lender agrees to use best efforts to respond to requests for new lease approvals within 10
business days of notice thereof. No additional fee shall be due to Lender in connection with any
request for Lender’s consent to a lease, provided that Borrower shall agree to reimburse
Lender for reasonable legal fees incurred by Lender in responding to such request in an amount not
to exceed $1,000 per request.

     Borrower will deliver to Lender an original or certified copy of each new lease, together with
a reasonably detailed lease abstract, within 30 days after execution of the lease.

     The
term “Debt Service Coverage” shall mean the Net Operating Income (defined herein)
of the Property for the 12 months ending as of the end of the mostly recently ended fiscal quarter
of Borrower divided by the amount of scheduled monthly debt service payments over such period. The
term “Net Operating Income” shall mean the gross revenues derived from the Property after
payment of annual insurance premiums, taxes and assessments and operating expenses of the Property
(including ground rent if any). “Operating expenses of the Property” shall not include interest
expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, capital costs (including tenant improvements),
extraordinary expenses, and out-of-period revenue or expense adjustments.

EXHIBIT E

SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY REQUIREMENTS/BORROWER’S COMPOSITION

     Applicant agrees that the following will be correct at Closing, and Borrower will
recertify the following at Closing:

     (a) Borrower is and will continue to be a Single Purpose Entity and if Borrower is a general
partnership, each of Borrower’s general partners is and will continue to be a corporation, limited
partnership or limited liability company which is a Single Purpose
Entity. “Single Purpose
Entity” means an entity whose organizational documents set forth single purpose entity
covenants satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, including covenants that the entity:

     (i) is formed solely for the purpose of owning, managing and operating the Property
and is not engaged and will not engage, either directly or indirectly, in any business other
than the ownership, management and operation of the Property;

     (ii) does not have and will not acquire or use any assets other than the Property and
personal property incidental to the business of owning, managing and operating the Property
and activities incidental thereto; without limiting the foregoing, the Property shall be
operated as a single property or project, generating substantially
all of  Borrower’s
gross income, it being the intent that the Property shall constitute “single asset real
estate” for purposes of Section 362(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code;

     (iii) will not liquidate or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or
enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, or acquire by purchase or otherwise
all or substantially all the business or assets of, or any stock or other evidence of
beneficial ownership of, any entity;

     (iv) will not, nor will any partner, limited or general, member or shareholder
thereof, as applicable, violate the terms of its partnership certificate, partnership
agreement, articles of incorporation, bylaws, operating agreement, articles of organisation
or other formation agreement or document, as applicable;

     (v) will observe, if it is a limited liability company, all limited liability
company formalities that relate to the entity’s separateness pursuant to its formation
documents, operating agreement, bylaws or partnership agreement (as the case may be), or any
other organizational filing or document governing its affairs;

     (vi) has not and will not guarantee, pledge its assets for the benefit of, or
otherwise become obligated for, the obligations of any other person or hold out its credit
or assets as being available to

E-1

 

satisfy the obligations of any other person except for obligations for indemnification and other
obligations of Borrower pursuant to its operating agreement, bylaws or partnership agreement, as
applicable;

     (vii) has not incurred and will not incur any debt, secured or unsecured, direct or
contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation), other than (A) the Loan and (B) unsecured trade
debt incurred in the ordinary course of business (not evidenced by a note) and paid in the ordinary

difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any other person;

     (x) will maintain its own separate, complete and accurate accounts, books, records and
financial statements complying with GAAP, provided that it may file or may be part of a
consolidated federal tax return to the extent required or permitted by applicable Law so long as
there is an appropriate notation indicating its separate existence and its assets and liabilities;

     (xii) will pay its obligations and expenses from its own funds and assets (to the extent that
it has funds to do so);

     (xiii) will not have any paid manager or director for the entity (other than the Independent

modifying the financial terms of leases for the Property pursuant to lease amendments or
modifications completed in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents;

     (xvii) will not take any action which, under the terms of its formation document or other
applicable organizational documents, requires the unanimous consent of all directors, partners or
members, as applicable, without such required vote;

     (xviii) will not engage in, seek or consent to any dissolution, winding up, liquidation,
consolidation, merger, asset sale, bankruptcy or insolvency filing, or material amendment to or
modification (including any amendments or modifications of its separateness covenants) of its
partnership agreement, articles of incorporation, bylaws, operating agreement, articles of
organization or other formation agreement or document, as applicable, without the required written
consent of Lender;

     (xix) will continue to operate its business with the goal of maintaining capital which is
adequate for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character
and in light of its contemplated business operations, to the extent funds are available from the
Property; and

     (xx) will not fail at any time to have at least one Independent Manager that will vote on
material matters affecting it, which matters shall include (a) any proposed insolvency or
bankruptcy proceeding of such entity, (b) incurring indebtedness outside the ordinary course of
business, (c) any merger or consolidation of it with any other entity, (d) any dissolution or
liquidation of such entity, and (e) any amendment or modification of any provision of its
organizational documents relating to company purpose, title to or management of the

E-3

 

Property, its bankruptcy-remote status, and/or the admission or removal of general partners
or members, as the case may be, provided that no termination or change of the Independent
Manager shall be made without giving Lender at least 20 days’ prior written notice, which
notice shall include a copy of any bio-profile or resume of such replacement Independent
Manager.

Borrower shall agree to keep the Single Purpose Entity covenants set forth in this paragraph (a)
and such covenants will be included in the Loan Documents and shall be, at the time of the Closing,

     As used herein, the term
“Independent Manager” shall mean a duly
appointed member of the board of directors or board of managers who is provided by a

common control with any such stockholder, partner, customer, supplier or other person, or (iv) a
member of the immediate family of any such stockholder, director, officer, employee, partner,
customer, supplier or other person. For purposes of this Exhibit E, the term
“control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a person, whether through
ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the
term “affiliate” means
for the specified person: (1) any person directly or indirectly owning, controlling or holding with
power to vote 10% or more of the outstanding voting securities or interests of such specified
person; (2) any person 10% or more of whose outstanding voting securities are directly or
indirectly owned, controlled or held with power to vote by such specified person; (3) any person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such specified
person; (4) any officer, director or partner of such specified person; (5) if such specified person
is an officer, director or partner, any entity for which such person or entity acts in any such
capacity; and (6) any close relative or spouse of such specified person if an individual.

     If Borrower is a single-member limited liability company, then such limited liability company
must be duly organized and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.

     (b) Borrower shall be duly organized and in good standing and qualified to do business in the
state where the Property is located. Applicant will, prior to the Closing, transfer the Property
to Borrower if Borrower is not currently the owner thereof.

E-4

 

     (c) Attached
hereto as Exhibit E-1 is an Ownership Chart prepared by Applicant that
shows Borrower’s proposed ownership structure, including the name, state of formation and type of
entity of Borrower and each of Borrower’s constituents and their respective percentage interests in
Borrower, and showing the complete form of signature block for Borrower, including the name and
title of its authorized representative.

     (d) Applicant will deliver to Lender no later than 20 days before Closing, all applicable
organizational documents of Borrower and its constituents and of Applicant, and will identify all
owners of 10% or more of direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, the percentage
interest of each such owner, and Borrower’s taxpayer identification number and address if different
from Applicant’s as indicated in Section 24. After Lender’s approval, none of the
foregoing may be amended without Lender’s consent.

     (e) The Ownership Chart and all organizational documents and information delivered or to be
delivered to Lender are correct and complete, and Borrower shall be deemed to have recertified the
same as of the Closing Date.

     In the event the Term is extended for either the First Extension or the Second Extension,
Lender will require Borrower to purchase an interest rate cap from a “AA” rated counterparty and in
a form reasonably acceptable to Lender. The interest rate cap will be required at the first day of
each extension and shall cover the ensuing 12 months of such extension. The interest rate cap
shall be at a rate that will provide for a minimum 1.40x Debt Service Coverage at the Property and
such interest rate cap shall be assigned to Lender. The LIBOR rate cap required shall be
calculated by Lender based on the lower of actual Net Operating Income of the Property for the
preceding 12-month period and budgeted Net Operating Income for the ensuing 12-month period.

CORRESPONDENT

EXHIBIT H — 2

CORRESPONDENT AUTHORITY AND FEE ARRANGEMENT

     Lender has retained
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (the “Correspondent”) to originate
and obtain applications for mortgage loans for consideration by Lender. Correspondent has been
retained solely as an independent contractor and will not be considered or construed under any
circumstances to be an agent of Lender. Applicant understands and agrees that Correspondent has no
authority to accept or execute this Agreement on behalf of Lender and that all representations,
documents and understandings between Applicant and Correspondent with respect to Applicant’s offer
for Borrower to borrow are merged into this Agreement. Separate and apart from this Agreement,
Applicant and Correspondent have entered into an agreement that provides for Applicant to pay to
Correspondent a brokerage fee or commission in connection with the Loan and, notwithstanding the
merger provision contained in the preceding sentence, such agreement is not merged into this
Agreement.

     Applicant further acknowledges and agrees that Lender may have a separate compensation
arrangement with Correspondent pursuant to which payments may be made by Lender to Correspondent or
other compensation earned by Correspondent based on various factors. Such factors may, among other
things, include the volume of new loan originations done by Correspondent with Lender (which may
include the Loan or other loans made by Lender to other borrowers), the amount of loans serviced by
Correspondent for Lender (which may include servicing of the Loan as well as other loans made
by Lender to other borrowers), the scope of services and duties performed as part of the servicing
performed by Correspondent over the Term, or the existence of a sub-servicing arrangement in
connection with the Loan. Such compensation paid by Lender to Correspondent will be in addition to
any fees paid to Correspondent by Applicant or Borrower.

CROSS COLLATERALIZATION

     The Loan Documents will contain cross-collateralization, cross-prepayment and cross-default
provisions satisfactory to Lender, subject to the terms of and limitations imposed by the ground
leases described in Exhibit H-4. Lender may, at Lender’s option, determine that multiple
notes, guarantees and/or mortgages are required to document the Loan, and Borrower will execute
such notes, guarantees and mortgages. The Loan Documents will provide that if an event of default
occurs under any one of the notes and/or guarantees or under any one of the mortgages securing the
notes and/or guarantees or under any of the other Loan Documents, such event of default will also
constitute an event of default under the other notes and/or guarantees and mortgages and Lender
will be entitled to exercise its remedies under all of the notes and/or guarantees, mortgages and
other Loan Documents, including to foreclose upon all of the properties comprising the Property.

leases with Lender if the ground lease with such ground lessor is terminated at any time during the
term thereof for any reason, including rejection of such ground lease in a bankruptcy proceeding,

EXHIBIT H — 5

INSURANCE PROCEEDS AND CONDEMNATION AWARDS FOR

RESTORATION — CONDITIONS TO USE

     The terms of the applicable ground leases shall govern the application of insurance proceeds
and condemnation awards (the “Proceeds”) payable with the respect to the Property during
the Term, provided that, to the extent permitted by the applicable ground leases, the Loan
Documents will permit Lender to apply Proceeds against the Loan subject to the following provisions
to be included in the Loan Documents:

     (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after a casualty or a condemnation (a “Destruction
Event”), Lender will make the Proceeds (less any costs incurred by Lender in collecting the
Proceeds) available for restoration in accordance with the conditions for disbursements set forth
in the Loan Documents, provided that the following conditions are met:

     (i) Borrower or the transferee under a permitted transfer, if any, continues to be
Borrower at the time of the Destruction Event and at all times thereafter until the Proceeds
have been fully disbursed;

     (ii) no default under the Loan Documents exists at the time of the Destruction
Event and no event of default has occurred during the 12 months prior to the
Destruction Event;

     (iii) all leases in effect immediately prior to the Destruction Event continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding the Destruction Event, except as otherwise approved by
Lender;

     (iv) if the Destruction Event is a condemnation, Borrower delivers to Lender
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Improvements can be restored to an
economically and architecturally viable unit;

     (v) Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Proceeds are
sufficient to complete such restoration or if the Proceeds are insufficient to complete such
restoration, Borrower first deposits with Lender funds (the
“Additional Funds”) that
when added to the Proceeds will be sufficient to complete such restoration;

     (vi) if the Destruction Event is a casualty, Borrower delivers
to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that the insurer under each
affected insurance policy has not denied liability under such policy as
to Borrower or the insured under such policy;

     (vii) Lender is satisfied that the proceeds of any rent loss insurance in effect
together with other available gross revenues from the Property are sufficient to pay debt
service payments after paying taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, reasonable and
customary

H-5-1

 

operating expenses and capital expenditures until the restoration is complete;

     (viii) Lender is satisfied that the restoration will be completed on or before the date
(the “Restoration Completion Date”) that is the earliest of: (A) 12 months prior to
the expiration of the then-existing Term; (B) 12 months after the Destruction Event; (C) the
earliest date required for completion of restoration under any lease affecting the Property;
or (D) any date required by Law; and

     (ix) for the 12-month period immediately preceding the Destruction Event, the annual
Debt Service Coverage was at least 1.15x and, at the time of the Destruction Event, is at
least l.l5x, provided that, if the Net Operating Income does not provide such Debt
Service Coverage, Borrower expressly authorizes and instructs Lender (at Lender’s sole
discretion) to apply an amount from the Proceeds to reduction of the outstanding principal
amount of the Loan in order to reduce the annual debt service payments sufficiently for such
Debt Service Coverage to be achieved. The reduced debt service payments will be calculated
using the Fixed Interest Rate and an amortization schedule that will achieve the same
proportionate amortization of the reduced principal over the then-remaining Term as would
have been achieved if the principal and the originally scheduled debt service payments had
not been reduced. Borrower will execute any documentation that Lender deems reasonably
necessary to evidence the reduced principal and debt service payments.

     (b) If the total Proceeds for any Destruction Event are $250,000 or less and Lender elects or
is obligated by Law or under the Loan Documents to make the Proceeds available for restoration,
Lender will disburse to Borrower the entire amount received by Lender, and Borrower will commence
restoration promptly after the Destruction Event and complete restoration not later than the
Restoration Completion Date.

     (c) If the Proceeds for any Destruction Event exceed $250,000 and Lender elects or is
obligated by Law or under the Loan Documents to make the Proceeds available for restoration, Lender
will disburse the Proceeds and any required additional funds (the “Restoration Funds”) upon
Borrower’s request as restoration progresses, generally in accordance with normal construction
lending practices for disbursing funds for construction costs, provided that the following
conditions are met:

     (i) Borrower commences restoration promptly after the Destruction Event
and completes restoration on or before the Restoration Completion Date;

     (ii) if Lender requests, Borrower delivers to Lender prior to commencing restoration,
for Lender’s approval, plans and specifications and a detailed budget for the restoration;

H-5-2

 

     (iii) Borrower delivers to Lender satisfactory evidence of the costs of the
restoration incurred prior to the date of the request and such other documents as Lender
may request, including mechanics’ lien waivers and title insurance endorsements;

     (iv) Borrower pays all costs of restoration whether or not the Restoration Funds are
sufficient and, if at any time during the restoration, Lender determines that the
undisbursed balance of the Restoration Funds is insufficient to complete restoration,
Borrower deposits with Lender, as part of the Restoration Funds, an amount equal to the
deficiency within 30 days after receiving notice of the deficiency from Lender; and

     (v) there is no default under the Loan Documents at the time Borrower requests
funds or at the time Lender disburses funds.

     (d) If an event of default under the Loan Documents occurs at any time after the Destruction
Event, then Lender will have no further obligation to make any remaining Proceeds available for
restoration and may apply any remaining Proceeds as a credit against any portion of the Loan
selected by Lender in its sole discretion.

     (e) Lender may elect at any time prior to or during the course of restoration to retain, at
Borrower’s expense, an independent engineer or other environmental consultant to review the plans
and specifications, to inspect restoration as it progresses and to provide reports. If any matter
included in a report by the engineer or consultant is unsatisfactory to Lender, Lender may
suspend disbursement of the Restoration Funds until the unsatisfactory matters contained in the
report are resolved to Lender’s satisfaction.

     (f) If Borrower fails to commence and complete restoration in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Documents, then in addition to any other remedies available to Lender, Lender may elect
to restore the Improvements on Borrower’s behalf and reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds
for costs and expenses incurred by Lender in restoring the Improvements or Lender may apply the
Restoration Funds as a credit against any portion of the Loan selected by Lender in its sole
discretion.

     (g) Lender may commingle the Restoration Funds with its general assets and will not be liable
to pay any interest or other return on the Restoration Funds unless otherwise required by Law.
Lender will not hold any Restoration Funds in trust. Lender may elect to deposit the Restoration
Funds with a depository satisfactory to Lender under a disbursement and security agreement
satisfactory to Lender.

     (h) Borrower will pay all of Lender’s expenses incurred in connection with a Destruction
Event or restoration. If Borrower fails to do so, then in addition to any other remedies
available to Lender, Lender may from time to time reimburse itself out of the Restoration Funds.

H-5-3

 

     (i) If any excess Proceeds remain after restoration, Lender may elect, in its sole
discretion, either to apply the excess as a credit against any portion of the Loan as selected by
Lender in its sole discretion or to deliver the excess to Borrower.

     (j) No Prepayment Premium or Evasion of Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with
any prepayment of the Loan from Proceeds.

     (v) any fee paid upon the termination of a lease affecting the Property received by Borrower
which is not paid to Lender (or an escrow agent selected by Lender) to the extent required under
the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents;

     (vi) the replacement cost of any fixtures and personal property owned by Borrower and removed
from the Property by Borrower after an event of default occurs;

     (vii) all losses suffered and liabilities and expenses incurred by Lender relating to any acts
or omissions by Borrower that result in waste (including economic and non-physical waste) on the

mortgage/deed of trust substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H-6A, Part II
(and as mutually agreed to by Lender and Borrower) or in connection with a termination of
any ground lease affecting the Property (but with respect to any default caused by the
failure to pay rent under any such ground lease, only to the extent that there exists or
existed sufficient funds from the operation of the Property for the payment thereof).

trust, (ii) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of Borrower, in which Borrower, any

Environmental Covenants.

	 	(a)	 	Borrower will not cause or knowingly permit any Material
Environmental Contamination of the Property.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Borrower will not cause or knowingly permit any Environmental Activity to occur
on the Property other than the use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Materials which

all documents delivered to or received by Borrower regarding the matters set forth in this
subsection, including notices of Proceedings or investigations concerning any Material
Environmental Contamination of the Property or Environmental Activity or concerning
Borrower’s status as a potentially responsible party (as defined in the Environmental
Laws). Borrower’s notification of Lender in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection will not be deemed to excuse any default under the Loan Documents resulting
from the violation of Environmental Laws or the Material Environmental Contamination of
the Property or Environmental Activity that is the subject of the notice. If Borrower
receives

	 	 	 	notice of a suspected violation of Environmental Laws in the vicinity of the Property
that poses a risk of Material Environmental Contamination of the Property, Borrower
will give Lender notice and copies of any documents received relating to such suspected
violation.

inspect the Property and perform tests of the air, soil, ground water and building
materials; (ii) Borrower will cooperate and use best efforts to cause tenants and other
occupants of the Property to cooperate with Lender or consultant, subject to the terms
of such tenants’ respective leases and applicable law; (iii) Borrower will receive a
copy of any final report prepared after the assessment, to be delivered to Borrower not
more than 10 days after Borrower requests a copy and executes Lender’s standard
confidentiality and waiver of liability letter; (iv) Borrower will accept custody of and
arrange for lawful disposal of any Hazardous Materials required to be disposed of as a
result of the tests; (v) Lender will not have liability to Borrower with respect to
the results of the assessment; and (vi) Lender will not be responsible for any damage to
the Property resulting from the tests described in this subsection and Borrower will
look solely to the consultant to reimburse Borrower for any such damage. The
consultant’s assessment and reports will be at Borrower’s expense (i) if the reports
disclose any material adverse change in the environmental condition of the Property from
that disclosed in the Environmental Report; (ii) if Lender engaged the consultant when
Lender had reasonable cause to believe Borrower was not in compliance with the terms of
this Section and, after written notice from Lender, Borrower failed to provide promptly
reasonable evidence that Borrower is in compliance; or (iii) if Lender engaged the
consultant after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

If Lender has reasonable cause to believe that there is Environmental Activity at the Property,
Lender may elect in its sole discretion to release from the lien of this Deed of Trust any portion
of the Property affected by the Environmental Activity and Borrower will accept the release.

Ground Lease Provisions.

	 	(a)	 	The Ground Lease is in full force and effect has not been amended and represents
the entire agreement between Borrower and Ground Lessor and there are no defaults,
events of default or events which with the passage of time or the giving of notice,
would constitute a default or event of default under the Ground Lease.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Borrower will pay the Ground Rent as and when required under the Ground Lease and
will perform all of Borrower’s obligations as ground lessee under the Ground Lease as
and when required under the Ground Lease.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Borrower will cause Ground Lessor to pay and perform all of Ground Lessor’s
obligations under the Ground Lease as and when required under the Ground Lease, will not
give any approval required or permitted under the Ground Lease without Lender’s prior
approval and will not exercise any options under the Ground Lease without Lender’s prior
approval.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Borrower will not amend or waive any provisions of the Ground Lease; cancel or
surrender the Ground Lease; or release or discharge Ground Lessor from any of the terms
or obligations of the Ground Lease, without in each instance Lender’s prior approval
which may be withheld in its sole discretion.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Borrower promptly will deliver to Lender copies of any notices of default or of
termination that Borrower receives or delivers relating to the Ground Lease.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Without limiting Lender’s independent rights and remedies under Section 365(h) of
the Bankruptcy Code:

	 	(i)	 	Borrower will not elect to treat the
Ground Lease as terminated under Subsection 365(h) (1) of the Bankruptcy
Code without Lender’s prior consent to be exercised in its sole
discretion, any such election made without Lender’s prior consent is
null and void;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Without in any manner limiting the
provisions of subparagraph (i) of this Section, the lien of this Deed of
Trust will attach to all of

Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Borrower’s rights to
remain in possession of the Property and Lender may assert, or direct Borrower
to assert, any of such rights and remedies.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If, pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower seeks to offset
against Ground Rent the amount of any damages caused by Ground Lessor’s failure to perform any
of its obligations under the Ground Lease after the Ground Lessor rejects the Ground Lease
under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower will, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of its
intent to do so, setting forth the amount proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.
Lender will have the right to object to all or any part of such offset and, in the event of
such objection, Borrower will not effect any offset of the amount so objected to by Lender.
Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication
between Lender and Borrower relating to such offset will constitute an approval of any such
offset by Lender. Borrower will indemnify, defend and save Lender harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses
of every nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to any offset
by Borrower against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Borrower unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s
claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by Ground Lessor of the
Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender will have the right to proceed in its own name
or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the
rejection of the Ground Lease, including the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of
Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, application, notice and other documents,
in any case in respect of Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment
constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing

H-6-8

 

	 	 	 	claims, rights and remedies, and will continue in effect until all of the
indebtedness and obligations secured by this Deed of Trust will have been
satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Lender as damages
arising out of the rejection of the Ground Lease as aforesaid will be applied
first to all costs and expenses of Lender (including attorneys’ fees) incurred
in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this
subsection (iv) and then in accordance with subsection
(iii) of this Section.
	 
	 	(v)	 	In any Proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code relating to the Ground Lease or the Property, Borrower will appear in the
Proceeding and will protect Lender’s interests in the Property and under the
Loan Documents with attorneys and other professionals retained by Borrower and
approved by Lender. Lender may elect, in Lender’s sole discretion, to engage
its own attorneys and other professionals at Borrower’s expense to appear in the
Proceeding and to protect Lender’s interests in the Property and under the Loan
Documents. Borrower will not commence any Proceeding, file any application or
make any motion relating to the Ground Lease in any Proceeding in its sole
discretion under the Bankruptcy Code without Lender’s prior consent.
	 
	 	(vi)	 	Borrower will give Lender prompt notice of any filing by or against Ground Lessor or
Borrower of a Proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. The notice will set forth any information
available to Borrower about the proceeding, including the date of the filing, the court in
which the Proceeding was filed, and the relief sought. Borrower also will deliver to Lender,
promptly following Borrower’s receipt thereof, any notices, summonses, pleadings, applications
and other documents received by Borrower in connection with the Proceeding.
	 
	 	(vii)	 	If a Proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code is
 commenced by or against Borrower and Borrower, as lessee under the Ground
Lease, rejects the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code without giving Lender not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice of
the date on which Borrower will apply to the bankruptcy court for authority
to reject the Ground Lease.

H-6-9

 

	 	 	 	Lender may, in its sole discretion, give Borrower notice
within such 10-Business Day period stating that (a) Lender
demands that Borrower assume the Ground Lease and assign it to
Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and
(b) Lender will cure or provide adequate assurance
of prompt cure of all defaults and will provide adequate
assurance of future performance under the Ground Lease. In
that event, Borrower will not seek to reject the Ground Lease
and will comply with the demand provided for in (a) above
within 30 days after Lender’s notice was given provided Lender
