Exhibit 10.25

HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES, INC. 2011 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

1. Purpose

     The purpose of the Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Stock Plan
(the “Plan”) is to promote the long-term success of Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (the
“Company”) and to increase stockholder value by providing its directors, officers and selected
employees with incentives to create excellent performance and to continue service with the Company,
its subsidiaries and affiliates. Both by encouraging such directors, officers and employees to
become owners of the common stock of the Company and by providing actual ownership through Plan
awards, it is intended that Plan participants will view the Company from an ownership perspective.

2. Term

     The Plan shall become effective upon the approval by the stockholders of the Company (the
“Effective Time”). Unless previously terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”),
the Plan shall terminate at the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the
Board’s approval of the Plan. After termination of the Plan, no future awards may be granted but
previously granted awards (and the Committee’s (as such term is defined in Section 3) authority
with respect thereto) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and
conditions and the terms and conditions of the Plan.

3. Plan Administration

     (a) The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (or its successor)
of the Board; provided that the Plan shall be administered by the Board as to any award granted or
to be granted, as the case may be, to a member of the Board who (at the time of grant of the award)
is not employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. Subject to the following provisions of
this Section 3(a), the Compensation Committee (or its successor) may delegate different levels of
authority to make grants under the Plan to different committees, provided that each such committee
consists of one or more members of the Board. With respect to awards intended to satisfy the
requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Plan shall be administered by a committee consisting of two
or more outside directors (as this requirement is applied under Section 162(m) of the Code).
Transactions in or involving awards intended to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), must be duly and timely authorized by the Board
or a committee of non-employee directors (as this term is used in or under Rule 16b-3). (The
appropriate acting body, be it the Board, Compensation Committee or another duly authorized
committee of directors, is referred to as “Committee”.)

     (b) The Committee shall have full and exclusive power to interpret the Plan and to
adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out the Plan as it may deem necessary or
proper, all of which power shall be executed in the best interests of the Company and in keeping
with the objectives of the Plan. This power includes, but is not limited to, selecting

1

 

award recipients, establishing all award terms and conditions and adopting modifications,
amendments and procedures, including subplans and the like as may be necessary to comply with
provisions of the laws and applicable regulatory rulings of countries in which the Company (or its
subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable) operates in order to assure the viability of awards
granted under the Plan and to enable participants employed in such countries to receive advantages
and benefits under the Plan and such laws and rulings. In no event other than as contemplated by
Section 6, however, shall the Committee or its designee have the right to cancel or amend
outstanding stock options for the purpose of repricing, replacing or regranting such options with a
purchase price that is less than the purchase price of the original option.

     (c) In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under the
Plan, the Committee may obtain and may rely on the advice of experts, including employees of and
professional advisors to the Company. Any action taken by, or inaction of, the Committee relating
to or pursuant to the Plan shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons.

4. Eligibility

     The Committee may grant one or more awards under the Plan to any individual or individuals
who, at the time of grant of the particular award, are employed by the Company or are a member of
the Board. For this purpose, individuals eligible to receive awards include any former employees
of the Company and former members of the Board eligible to receive an assumed or replacement award
as contemplated in Sections 5 and 6. For purposes of this Section 4, “Company” includes any entity
that is directly or indirectly controlled by the Company or any entity in which the Company has a
significant equity interest, as determined by the Committee.

5. Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan and Grant Limits

     (a) Subject to Section 6 of the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock
of the Company (“Common Stock”) which may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the
Plan shall not exceed 9,166,667 shares. For purposes of the Plan, (x) any shares of Common Stock
which are forfeited back to the Company under the Plan, and (y) any shares which have been
exchanged by a participant as full or partial payment to the Company in connection with any award
under the Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company to
satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award under the Plan, shall be available for
issuance under the Plan in subsequent periods. Shares issued in respect of any awards granted
under the Plan other than stock options and SARs shall be counted against the foregoing share limit
as 2.5 shares for every one share actually issued in connection with the award. (For example, if a
stock bonus of 100 shares of Common Stock is paid under the Plan, 250 shares shall be charged
against the foregoing share limit in connection with that award.)

     (b) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to
stock options qualified as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code (“ISOs”) is
9,166,667 shares.

2

 

     (c) In instances where a stock appreciation right (“SAR”) or other award is settled
in cash or a form other than shares, the shares that would have been issued had there been no cash
or other settlement shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan.
The payment of cash dividends and dividend equivalents in conjunction with outstanding awards shall
not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan. Any shares that are
issued by the Company, and any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company,
through the assumption by the Company or an affiliate of, or in substitution for, outstanding
awards previously granted by an acquired company (or previously granted by a predecessor employer
(or direct or indirect parent thereof) in the case of persons that become employed by the Company
(or a subsidiary or affiliate) in connection with a business or asset acquisition or similar
transaction) shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan. For
purposes of clarity, any shares that are issued and any awards that are granted by the Company
under the Plan in connection with the Company’s spin-off from Northrop Grumman Corporation (the
“Spin-Off”) in substitution for awards originally granted by Northrop Grumman Corporation shall be
counted against the Plan’s share limits specified in Section 5(a), but not for purposes of the
other applicable share limits under the Plan.

     (d) Any shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized
and unissued shares or of treasury shares, and no fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan.
Cash may be paid in lieu of any fractional shares in settlements of awards under the Plan.

     (e) In no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be awarded
to any eligible participant during any three year period pursuant to stock option grants and SAR
grants hereunder exceed 1,500,000 shares. In no event shall “Performance-Based Awards” under
Section 8(c)(ii) (other than stock options or SARs, and without giving effect to any related
dividend equivalents) that are granted to any eligible participant during any three consecutive
years relate to or provide for payment of more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock.

     (f) Adjustments to the Plan’s aggregate share limit pursuant to Section 5(a), as
well as the provisions of Section 5(c), are subject to any applicable limitations under Section
162(m) of the Code with respect to awards intended as performance-based compensation thereunder.
The limits set forth in Sections 5(b) and 5(e) shall apply with respect to all Plan awards
regardless of whether the underlying shares are attributable to the fixed number of shares made
available for Plan award purposes or otherwise.

6. Adjustments and Reorganizations

     (a) Upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to):
any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock
dividend) or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization;
any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common
Stock; or any exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or any
similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; then the
Committee shall equitably and proportionately adjust (1) the number and type of shares of Common
Stock (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards (including the
specific share limits, maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan), (2)

3

 

the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property)
subject to any outstanding awards, (3) the grant, purchase, or exercise price (which term includes
the base price of any SAR or similar right) of any outstanding awards, and/or (4) the securities,
cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding awards, in each case
to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by this
Plan and the then-outstanding awards.

          Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, upon (or, as may be
necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to) any event or transaction described in the
preceding paragraph or a sale of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company
as an entirety, the Committee shall equitably and proportionately adjust the performance standards
applicable to any then-outstanding performance-based awards to the extent necessary to preserve
(but not increase) the level of incentives intended by the Plan and the then-outstanding
performance-based awards.

          It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by the preceding two paragraphs
be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax (including, without limitation and as
applicable in the circumstances, Section 424 of the Code, Section 409A of the Code and Section
162(m) of the Code) and accounting (so as to not trigger any charge to earnings with respect to
such adjustment) requirements.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(a), the provisions of this
Section 6(b) shall apply to an outstanding Plan award if a Change in Control (as defined in Section
6(e)) occurs. If the Company undergoes a Change in Control triggered by clause (iii) or (iv) of
the definition thereof and the Company is not the surviving entity and the successor to the Company
(if any) (or a parent thereof) does not agree in writing prior to the occurrence of the Change in
Control to continue and assume the award following the Change in Control, or if for any other
reason the award would not continue after the Change in Control, then upon the Change in Control:
(i) if the award is a stock option, it shall vest fully and completely, any and all restrictions on
exercisability or otherwise shall lapse, and it shall be fully exercisable; (ii) if the award is a
SAR, it shall vest fully and completely, any and all restrictions on such SAR shall lapse, and it
shall be fully exercisable; and (iii) if such award is an award or grant under Section 8(c) of the
Plan, it shall immediately vest fully and completely, and all restrictions shall lapse, provided,
however, that if the award is performance-based, the earnout or payout of the award, as applicable,
shall be computed based on the performance terms of the award and based on actual performance
achieved to the date of the Change in Control. No acceleration of vesting, exercisability and/or
payment of an outstanding Plan award shall occur in connection with a Change in Control if either
(i) the Company is the surviving entity, or (ii) the successor to the Company (if any) (or a parent
thereof) agrees in writing prior to the Change in Control to assume the award; provided, however,
that individual awards may provide for acceleration under these circumstances as contemplated by
Section 6(c) below. If a stock option or other award is fully vested or becomes fully vested as
provided in this paragraph but is not exercised or paid prior to a Change in Control triggered by
clause (iii) or (iv) of the definition thereof and the Company is not the surviving entity and the
successor to the Company (if any) (or a parent thereof) does not agree in writing prior to the
occurrence of the Change in Control to continue and assume the award following the Change in
Control, or if for any other reason the award would not continue after the Change in Control, then
the Committee may provide for the settlement in cash of the

4

 

award (such settlement to be calculated as though the award was paid or exercised
simultaneously with the Change in Control and based upon the then Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock and subject, in the case of a performance-based award, to the Change in Control
payment provisions set forth above). An option or other award so settled by the Committee shall
automatically terminate. If, in such circumstances, the Committee does not provide for the cash
settlement of an option or other award, then upon the Change in Control such option or award shall
terminate, subject to any provision that has been made by the Committee through a plan of
reorganization or otherwise for the survival, substitution or exchange of such option or right;
provided that the option or award holder shall be given reasonable notice of such intended
termination and an opportunity to exercise the option or award (to the extent an award other than
an option must be exercised in order for the participant to realize the intended benefits) prior to
or upon the Change in Control.

     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6(b), awards issued under the Plan may
contain specific provisions regarding the consequences of a Change in Control and, if contained in
an award, those provisions shall be controlling in the event of any inconsistency. (For example,
and without limitation, an award may provide that (i) acceleration of vesting will occur
automatically upon a Change in Control, or (ii) acceleration will occur in connection with a Change
in Control if the participant is terminated by the Company without cause or the participant
terminates employment for good reason.) The occurrence of a particular Change in Control under the
Plan shall have no effect on any award granted under the Plan after the date of that Change in
Control.

     (d) The Committee may make adjustments pursuant to Section 6(a) and/or deem an
acceleration of vesting of awards pursuant to Section 6(b) to occur sufficiently prior to an event
if necessary or deemed appropriate to permit the participant to realize the benefits intended to be
conveyed with respect to the shares underlying the award; provided, however, that, the Committee
may reinstate the original terms of an award if the related event does not actually occur.

     (e) A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred as of the
first day that any one or more of the following conditions shall have been satisfied after the date
of the Spin-Off:

     (i) Any Person (other than those Persons in control of the Company as of the
Effective Time, or other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
employee benefit plan of the Company or any affiliate of the Company or a successor) becomes
the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either (1) the then-outstanding shares of common stock
of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (2) the combined voting power of
the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that
for purposes of this clause (i): (A) “Person” or “group” shall not include underwriters
acquiring newly-issued voting securities (or securities convertible into voting securities)
directly from the Company with a view towards distribution, (B) creditors of the Company who
become stockholders of the Company in connection with any bankruptcy of the Company under
the laws of the

5

 

United States shall not, by virtue of such bankruptcy, be deemed a “group” or a single
Person for the purposes of this clause (i) (provided that any one of such creditors may
trigger a Change in Control pursuant to this clause (i) if such creditor’s ownership of
Company securities equals or exceeds the foregoing threshold), and (C) an acquisition shall
not constitute a Change in Control if made by an entity pursuant to a transaction that is
covered by and does not otherwise constitute a Change in Control under clause (iii) below;

     (ii) On any day after the Effective Time (the “Measurement Date”) Continuing
Directors cease for any reason to constitute either: (1) if the Company does not have a
Parent, a majority of the Board; or (2) if the Company has a Parent, a majority of the Board
of Directors of the Controlling Parent. A director is a “Continuing Director” if he or she
either:

	 	(1)	 	was a member of the Board on the applicable Initial Date (an
“Initial Director”); or
	 
	 	(2)	 	was elected to the Board (or the Board of Directors of the
Controlling Parent, as applicable), or was nominated for election by the
Company’s or the Controlling Parent’s stockholders, by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors then in office.

A member of the Board (or Board of Directors of the Controlling Parent, as applicable) who
was not a director on the applicable Initial Date shall be deemed to be an Initial Director
for purposes of clause (2) above if his or her election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s or the Controlling Parent’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Initial Directors (including directors elected after the applicable
Initial Date who are deemed to be Initial Directors by application of this provision) then
in office. “Initial Date” means the later of (1) the Effective Time or (2) the date that is
two (2) years before the Measurement Date.

     (iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or
consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such
Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were
the Beneficial Owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company
Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination Beneficially Own, directly
or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of the then-outstanding shares of common stock
and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from
such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of
such transaction, is a Parent of the Company or the successor of the Company) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business
Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting
Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person

6

 

(excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent of the
Company or any successor of the Company or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of
the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination or a Parent of the
Company or the successor entity) Beneficially Owns, directly or indirectly, twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the
entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that the ownership
in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) existed prior to the Business Combination, and (3) a
Change in Control is not triggered pursuant to clause (ii) above with respect to the Company
(including any successor entity) or any Parent of the Company (or the successor entity).

     (iv) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company other than in the
context of a transaction that does not constitute a Change in Control of the Company under
clause (iii) above.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Spin-Off or a transaction or other event
that occurred prior to the Effective Time constitute a Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything
in clause (iii) above to the contrary, a change in ownership of the Company resulting from
creditors of the Company becoming stockholders of the Company in connection with any bankruptcy of
the Company under the laws of the United States shall not trigger a Change in Control pursuant to
clause (iii) above.

     “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3 of the General
Rules and Regulations under the 1934 Act. “Controlling Parent” means the Company’s Parent so long
as a majority of the voting stock or voting power of that Parent is not Beneficially Owned,
directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, by any other Person. In the event that
the Company has more than one “Parent,” then “Controlling Parent” means the Parent of the Company
the majority of the voting stock or voting power of which is not Beneficially Owned, directly or
indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, by any other Person. “Parent” means an entity that
Beneficially Owns a majority of the voting stock or voting power of the Company, or all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries.
“Person” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the 1934 Act and used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) thereof.

7. Fair Market Value

     “Fair Market Value” for all purposes under the Plan shall mean the closing price of a share of
Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) for the date in question.
If no sales of Common Stock were made on the Exchange on that date, the closing price of a share of
Common Stock as reported by the Exchange for the preceding day on which sales of Common Stock were
made on the Exchange shall be substituted.

7

 

8. Awards

     The Committee shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made to each participant.
Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination
or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for grants or
rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Company, including the plan of any
acquired entity. The types of awards that may be granted under the Plan are:

     (a) Stock Options—A grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of
Common Stock during a specified period as determined by the Committee. The purchase price per
share for each option shall be not less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant, except
that, in the case of a stock option granted retroactively in tandem with or as a substitution for
another award, the exercise or designated price may be no lower than the Fair Market Value of a
share on the date such other award was granted. A stock option may be in the form of an ISO which,
in addition to being subject to applicable terms, conditions and limitations established by the
Committee, complies with Section 422 of the Code. If an ISO is granted, the aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined on the date the option is granted) of Common Stock subject to an ISO granted to a
participant by the Committee which first becomes exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed
$100,000.00 (otherwise, the intended ISO, to the extent of such excess, shall be rendered a
nonqualified stock option). ISOs may only be granted to key employees of the Company or a
subsidiary. The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10) years. The
price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under a stock option shall be paid in full
at the time of the exercise in cash or such other method permitted by the Committee, including (i)
tendering (either actually or by attestation) Common Stock; (ii) surrendering a stock award valued
at Fair Market Value on the date of surrender; (iii) authorizing a third party to sell the shares
(or a sufficient portion thereof) acquired upon exercise of a stock option and assigning the
delivery to the Company of a sufficient amount of the sale proceeds to pay for all the shares
acquired through such exercise; or (iv) any combination of the above. The Committee may grant
stock options that provide for the award of a new option when the exercise price of the option
and/or tax withholding obligations related to the exercise of the option have been paid by
tendering shares of Common Stock to the Company or by the Company’s reduction of the number of
shares otherwise deliverable to the optionee. Any new option grant contemplated by the preceding
sentence (the re-load grant) would cover the number of shares tendered by the optionee or withheld
by the Company with the option purchase price set at the then current Fair Market Value and would
never extend beyond the remaining term of the originally exercised option.

     (b) SARs—A right to receive a payment, in cash and/or Common Stock, equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the SAR
is exercised over the Fair Market Value on the date the SAR was granted as set forth in the
applicable award agreement, except that, in the case of a SAR granted retroactively in tandem with
or as a substitution for another award, the exercise or designated price may be no lower than the
Fair Market Value of a share on the date such other award was granted. The maximum term of an SAR
shall be ten (10) years.

8

 

     (c) Other Awards—Other awards, granted or denominated in Common Stock or units of
Common Stock, may be granted under the Plan. Awards not granted or denominated in Common Stock or
units of Common Stock (cash awards) also may be granted consistent with clause (ii) below.

     (i) All or part of any stock award may be subject to conditions and
restrictions established by the Committee, and set forth in the award agreement, which may
include, but are not limited to, continuous service with the Company (or a subsidiary or
affiliate), achievement of specific business objectives, and other measurements of
individual, business unit or Company performance. Unless the Committee otherwise provides,
awards under this Section 8(c) to employees of the Company or a subsidiary that are either
granted or become vested, exercisable or payable based on attainment of one or more of the
performance goals related to the business criteria identified below, shall be deemed to be
intended as Performance-Based Awards under Section 8(c)(ii).

     (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in addition to
stock options and SAR grants, other performance-based awards within the meaning of Section
162(m) of the Code (“Performance-Based Awards”), whether in the form of restricted stock,
performance stock, phantom stock or other rights, the vesting of which depends on the
absolute or relative performance of the Company on a consolidated, segment, subsidiary,
division, or plant basis with reference to revenue, net earnings (either before or after
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and/or Net Pension Income (as defined below)),
cash flow, free cash flow, return on equity or on assets or on investment (in each case
which may, but need not, be on a net basis), cost containment or reduction, the total
value of contracts awarded, stock price appreciation, total stockholder return, EVA
(as defined below), or Pension Adjusted Operating Margin (as defined below) relative to
preestablished performance goals, may be granted under the Plan. The applicable business
criteria and the specific performance goals for Performance-Based Awards must be approved by
the Committee in advance of applicable deadlines under the Code and while the performance
relating to such goals remains substantially uncertain. The applicable performance period
may range from one to ten years. Performance targets shall, to the extent determined by the
Committee to be equitable and appropriate, be adjusted to mitigate the unbudgeted impact of
material, unusual or nonrecurring gains and losses, accounting charges or other
extraordinary events not foreseen at the time the targets were set. In no event shall
share-based Performance-Based Awards granted to any eligible person under this Plan exceed
the limit set forth in Section 5(e). In no event shall grants to any eligible person under
this Plan of Performance-Based Awards payable only in cash in any calendar year and not
related to shares provide for payment of more than $3,000,000. Except as otherwise
permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, before any Performance-Based Award is paid, the
Committee must certify that the performance goal and any other material terms of the
Performance-Based Award were in fact satisfied. The Committee shall have discretion to
determine the conditions, restrictions or other limitations, in accordance with the terms of
the Plan and Section 162(m) of the Code, on the payment of individual Performance-Based
Awards. The Committee may reserve by express provision in any award agreement the right to
reduce the amount payable in accordance with any standards or on any other basis (including
the Committee’s discretion), as the Committee may impose. Performance-Based Awards

9

 

may be granted only to key employees of the Company or a subsidiary. “EVA” means
operating profit after tax (which means net earnings after tax but before tax adjusted
interest income and expense and goodwill amortization), less a charge for the use of capital
(which is based on average total capital and the weighted average cost of capital). “Net
Pension Income” means any positive difference between income from employee pension plan
investments less the cost of employee pension benefits for the relevant period of time.
“Pension Adjusted Operating Margin” means operating margin adjusted for the difference in
pension cost between FAS (Financial Accounting Standards) and allowable and reimbursable
pension costs under CAS (Cost Accounting Standards).

9. Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

     The Committee may provide that any awards under the Plan earn dividends or dividend
equivalents. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid currently or may be credited to a
participant’s account. Any crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such
restrictions and conditions as the Committee may establish, including reinvestment in additional
shares or share equivalents.

10. Deferrals and Settlements

     Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Common Stock, other awards or combinations
thereof as the Committee shall determine, and with such restrictions as it may impose. The
Committee may also require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the
settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under the Plan.
It may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest on the
deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferral amounts
are denominated in shares.

11. Transferability and Exercisability

     Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 11, by applicable law or
by the award agreement, (i) all awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner
to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; (ii) awards
shall be exercised only by the holder; and (iii) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an
award shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the holder. The foregoing exercise and
transfer restrictions shall not apply to: (a) transfers to the Company; (b) the designation of a
beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the participant’s death or, if the participant has
died, transfers to or exercises by the participant’s beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly
designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (c) transfers
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Code) (in the case of ISOs, to
the extent such transfers are permitted by the Code); (d) if the participant has suffered a
disability, permitted transfers to or exercises on behalf of the holder by his or her legal
representative; or (e) the authorization by the Committee of “cashless exercise” procedures. The
Committee by express provision in the award or an amendment thereto may permit an award (other than
an ISO) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the
participant, including but not limited to members of the participant’s family, charitable
institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are

10

 

members of the participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons
or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to such conditions and
procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the
condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made
for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to a “blind trust” in connection with the participant’s
termination of employment or service with the Company (or a subsidiary or affiliate) to assume a
position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution) and on a
basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.

12. Award Agreements

     Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by agreements that set forth the terms, conditions
and limitations for each award which may include the term of an award, the provisions applicable in
the event the participant’s employment or service terminates, and the Company’s authority to
unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind any award; provided, however,
that such authority shall not extend to the reduction of the exercise price of a previously granted
option, except as provided in Section 6 hereof. The Committee need not require the execution of
any such agreement, in which case acceptance of the award by the respective participant shall
constitute agreement to the terms of the award.

13. Plan Amendment

     The Plan may only be amended by a majority of the Board of Directors as it deems necessary or
appropriate to better achieve the purpose of the Plan, except that no such amendment shall be made
without the approval of the Company’s stockholders which would increase the number of shares
available for issuance under the Plan (except for increases or adjustments expressly contemplated
by Sections 5 and 6).

14. Tax Withholding

     The Company shall have the right to deduct from any settlement of an award made under the
Plan, including the delivery or vesting of shares, a sufficient amount to cover withholding (at the
flat percentage rates applicable to supplemental wages) of any Federal, state or local taxes
required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy any such withholding
obligations. The Committee may permit shares to be used to satisfy required tax withholding and
such shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value as of the settlement date of the applicable
award.

15. Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs

     Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, settlements of awards received by
participants under the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant’s regular, recurring
compensation for purposes of calculating payments or benefits from any benefit plan or severance
program of the Company (or a subsidiary or affiliate), or any severance pay law of any country.
Further, the Company may adopt other compensation programs, plans or arrangements as it deems
appropriate or necessary.

11

 

16. Unfunded Plan

     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create
(or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish any
fiduciary relationship between the Company and any participant or other person. To the extent any
person holds any rights by virtue of a grant awarded under the Plan, such rights (unless otherwise
determined by the Committee) shall be no greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor
of the Company.

17. Future Rights

     No person shall have any claim or rights to be granted an award under the Plan, and no
participant shall have any rights under the Plan to be retained in the employ or service of the
Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate).

18. Governing Law; Severability; Legal Compliance

     The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any award agreements or other documents
setting forth the terms of an award, and any actions taken or relating to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable Federal law. If any
provision of the Plan, any award agreement, or any other document setting forth the terms of an
award shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the
remaining provisions of the Plan or such other document shall continue in effect.

     The Plan, the granting and vesting of awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock and/or the payment of money under the Plan or under awards granted hereunder are
subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including
but not limited to state and federal securities and banking laws) and to such approvals by any
listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be
necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such restrictions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance
with all applicable legal requirements.

     The Plan and the awards granted under the Plan are intended to comply with (or be exempt from,
as the case may be) Section 409A of the Code so as to avoid any tax, penalty or interest under
Section 409A of the Code. The Plan shall be construed, operated and administered consistent with
this intent.

19. Successors and Assigns

     The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of a participant, including, without
limitation, the estate of such participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such
estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the participant’s creditors.

20. Rights as a Stockholder

     Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, a participant shall have no rights as a
stockholder until he or she becomes the holder of record of shares of Common Stock.

     CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of March 11, 2011 among HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES, INC., the
LENDERS party hereto, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank and a
Swingline Lender, and CREDIT SUISSE AG, as Swingline Lender.

     The Borrower has requested the Lenders to extend credit in the form of (a) a term loan
facility comprising Term Loans extended on the Funding Date, in an aggregate principal amount not
in excess of $575,000,000, and (b) a revolving credit facility comprising Revolving Loans extended
at any time and from time to time after the Spin-off, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not in excess of $650,000,000; and, as sub-facilities of such revolving credit
facility, the Borrower has requested (x) the Swingline Lenders to extend credit, at any time after
the Spin-off, in the form of Swingline Loans, in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not in excess of $100,000,000, and (y) the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, at
any time and from time to time on or after the Funding Date, in an aggregate face amount at any
time outstanding not in excess of $350,000,000.

     The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Banks are
willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. In consideration of the
mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

Definitions

     SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the
meanings specified below:

     “ABR” when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the
Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the
Alternate Base Rate.

     “Acquired Business” means the shipbuilding business of Northrop Grumman (including without
limitation, the shipbuilding business conducted by the Main Shipbuilding Subsidiary and its
subsidiaries) that is being transferred to the Borrower pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.

     “Acquired Entity” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.04(g).

     “Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period,
an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the
LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

     “Administrative Agent” means JPMCB, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders
hereunder.

 

 

     “Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the
Administrative Agent.

     “Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person as of any date of determination, another
Person that as of such date directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or
is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.

     “Agents” has the meaning assigned to such term in Article 8.

     “Agreement Value” means, in respect of any one or more Swap Contracts, after taking into
account the effect of any legally enforceable netting agreement relating to such Swap Contracts,
(a) for any date on or after the date such Swap Contracts have been closed out and termination
value(s) determined in accordance therewith, such termination value(s), and (b) for any date prior
to the date referenced in clause (a), the amount(s) determined as the mark-to-market value(s) for
such Swap Contracts, as determined based upon one or more mid-market or other readily available
quotations provided by any recognized dealer in such Swap Contracts (which may include a Lender or
any Affiliate of a Lender).

     “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the
Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2
of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is
not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the
Reuters BBA Libor Rates Page 3750 (or on any successor or substitute page of such page) at
approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a
change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be
effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds
Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.

     “Applicable ECF Percentage” means, with respect to any fiscal year, (i) 50%, if the Leverage
Ratio at the end of such fiscal year is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, (ii) 25%, if the Leverage Ratio
at the end of such fiscal year is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00,
and (iii) 0%, if the Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year is equal to or less than 2.00 to
1.00.

     “Applicable Margin” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, or
with respect to the commitment fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable margin
per annum set forth below under the caption “ABR Spread”, “Eurodollar Spread” or “Commitment Fee
Rate”, as the case may be, based upon the Leverage Ratio (determined as of the last day of the
previous fiscal quarter), provided that until the delivery to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 5.01 of the Borrower’s consolidated financial information for the Borrower’s second full
fiscal quarter ending after the Funding Date, the “Applicable Margin” shall be the applicable rate
per annum set forth below in Category 3:

     For purposes of the foregoing, (a) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as of the end of
each fiscal quarter of the Borrower based upon the Borrower’s annual or quarterly consolidated
financial statements and certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 (a) — (c) and (b) each
change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective
during the period commencing on and including the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of
such consolidated financial statements and certificates indicating such change and ending on the
date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change, provided that the Leverage
Ratio shall be deemed to be in Category 1 (A) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing or (B) if the Borrower fails to deliver the annual or quarterly consolidated
financial statements and certificates required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.01 (a)
— (c), during the period from the expiration of the time for delivery thereof until such
consolidated financial statements are delivered.

     In the event that any financial statement or compliance certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01 (a) — (c) is inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are
in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), (a) if such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led
to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the
Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) promptly after the discovery of any
such inaccuracy by a Financial Officer, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
corrected financial statement and a corrected compliance certificate for such Applicable Period,
(ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the corrected compliance certificate for
such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent
(for the account of the Lenders during the Applicable Period or their successors and assigns) the
accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such
Applicable Period; and (b) if such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a
lower Applicable Margin for any Applicable Period than the Applicable Margin applied for such
Applicable Period, the applicable Lenders shall have no obligation to repay any interest or fees to
the Borrower, provided that if, as a result of any

3

 

restatement or other event a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in
higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more other periods (due to the
shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any similar reason), then the
amount payable by the Borrower pursuant to clause (a) above shall be based upon the excess, if any,
of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the
amount of interest and fees paid for all such periods. This paragraph shall not limit the rights
of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to Section 2.14(c) and Article 7 hereof,
and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     “Applicable Revolving Percentage” means, with respect to any Revolving Credit Lender, the
percentage of the total Revolving Credit Commitments represented by such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment; provided that in the case of Section 2.21 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist,
“Applicable Revolving Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Revolving Credit
Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) represented by such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. If the Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated or
expired, the Applicable Revolving Percentages shall be determined based upon the Revolving Credit
Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Revolving Credit
Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.

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

     “Ascension” means Ascension Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
majority-owned joint venture of the Main Shipbuilding Subsidiary.

     “Asset Sale” means the sale, transfer or other disposition (by way of merger, casualty,
condemnation or otherwise, but not including by way of lease or license (except a “lease to own” or
a sale leaseback transaction)) by the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person
other than (x) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or (y) any other Restricted Subsidiary if
the transferor is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor, of (a) any Equity Interests of any of
the Subsidiaries (other than directors’ qualifying shares) or (b) any other assets of the Borrower
or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than (i) dispositions of inventory, damaged, obsolete,

     (b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lenders of any such notice received from
the Borrower. The Swingline Lenders shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by
means of a credit (or remittance) to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an
LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank) by
4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

     (c) The Swingline Lenders (acting together) may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving
Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the
outstanding Swingline Loans. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in
which the Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such
notice such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each
Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as
provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lenders, such
Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans
pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner
as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent
shall promptly pay to the

35

 

Swingline Lenders their pro rata share of the amounts so received by it from the Revolving
Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lenders. Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lenders from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the
Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lenders of the proceeds of
a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such
amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent
to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and
to the Swingline Lenders, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted
shall be repaid to the Swingline Lenders or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to
the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of
participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any
default in the payment thereof.

     SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of commercial and standby Letters of Credit
denominated in US Dollars or any Designated Foreign Currency approved by the applicable Issuing
Bank (and in the case of any such Designated Foreign Currency, (A) subject to any cap imposed by
such applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Designated Foreign Currency and (B) provided that
the LC Exposure of Letters of Credit denominated in Designated Foreign Currencies shall not exceed
$70,000,000 at any time), (x) for its own account or (y) for its own account and, jointly, for the
account of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (and in each case under this clause (y), the Borrower
shall be considered the sole obligor under such Letter of Credit for purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any listing of any Restricted Subsidiary as an account party or applicant with
respect to such Letter of Credit), pursuant to an agreement (x) if JPMCB is the Issuing Bank,
substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “LC Continuing Agreement Form”) and (y) in the case of
any other Issuing Bank, substantially in the form of the LC Continuing Agreement Form with such
changes as shall be agreed to by the Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, on the Funding Date). Except as to matters covered by agreements contained
herein or otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and the rules
of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. JPMCB and each other Lender which has
been designated as an Issuing Bank hereunder, agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein (including, without limitation, Section 4.03), that it shall issue Letters of Credit
complying with the terms of this Agreement upon the request of the Borrower in the manner
contemplated by this Section. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower shall be deemed to be
a primary account party under, and obligated in respect of, each Letter of Credit issued at the
request of the Borrower hereunder, notwithstanding the fact that a Restricted Subsidiary may be
listed as the account party in the Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit
application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with,
an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. The Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter
of Credit

36

 

referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph, it will be fully
responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements, the payment of interest thereon and the
payment of participation fees and other fees due hereunder to the same extent as if it were the
sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (the Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any
defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor of the obligations of any
Restricted Subsidiary that shall be a joint account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit).

     (ii) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of the Funding Date, the Existing
JPM Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit hereunder for all purposes as fully
as if such Existing JPM Letters of Credit had been issued as Letters of Credit hereunder.

     (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of
Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the applicable Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of
Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire
(which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the currency and amount of such Letter of
Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be
necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In connection with any request
for a Letter of Credit and if requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit (i) in the case of such request from JPMCB, a letter of credit application substantially in
the form attached as an annex to the LC Continuing Agreement Form or (ii) in the case of such
request from any other Issuing Bank, a letter of credit application substantially in the form
attached as an annex to the LC Continuing Agreement with such changes as shall be agreed between
the Borrower and such Issuing Bank. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or
extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the
Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the
total Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the total LC Exposure shall not exceed $350,000,000, (iii)
the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing
Bank will not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank and (iv) if such Letter of Credit is
denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, the US Dollar Equivalent of the portion of the LC
Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit denominated in such Designated Foreign Currency and
issued by the applicable Issuing Bank shall not exceed the cap (if any) imposed by such Applicable
Bank with respect to such Designated Foreign Currency.

     (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business
on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit
(or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and
(ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided that
any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for renewal thereof under procedures
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank for additional one-year periods (which shall
in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above).

37

 

     (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable
Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving
Credit Lender, and each such Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of
the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such
Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage (determined as of the time or times at which the Revolving
Credit Lenders are required to make payments in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements under such
Letter of Credit pursuant to paragraph (e) below) of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank
and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or
of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason (or, if the
currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be a Designated Foreign
Currency, an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent thereof using the LC Exchange Rate in effect
on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges
and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments or any fluctuation in
currency values, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever.

     (e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received
notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such
notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower
receives such notice; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set
forth herein, request in accordance with Sections 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with
an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so
financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to reimburse any LC
Disbursement when due, (i) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in a
Designated Foreign Currency, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of
the Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an
obligation to reimburse the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the
applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) in the case of each
LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such
Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolving Percentage
of the payment then due from the

38

 

Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Revolving Loans made
by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable
Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following
receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph,
the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that
Revolving Credit Lenders or a Swingline Lender have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may
appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for
any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to
reimburse, any amounts in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than US
Dollars would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender to any
stamp duty, ad valorem charge or other tax, expense or loss (including any loss resulting from
changes in currency exchange rates between the date of any LC Disbursement and the date of any
reimbursement payment in respect thereof), the Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax,
expense or loss requested by the Administrative Agent or the relevant Issuing Bank or Lender, as
applicable.

     (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does
not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against,
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit
Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or
responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit
or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances
referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in
transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in
interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the
applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing
Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as

39

 

finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to
have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without
limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which
appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the
contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in
strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

     (h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the
unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC
Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement,
(i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars and at all times following the
conversion to US Dollars of an LC Disbursement made in a Designated Foreign Currency pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, and
(ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in a Designated Foreign Currency, at all times prior to its
conversion to US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, at a rate per annum reasonably
determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to represent the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding
such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans at such
time; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on
and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse
such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

     (i) Designation of Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrower may by notice to
the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders designate as additional Issuing Banks one
or more Revolving Credit Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The
acceptance by a Revolving Credit Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be
evidenced by an agreement (an “Issuing Bank Agreement”), which shall be in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of
such Revolving Credit Lender and shall be executed by such Revolving Credit Lender, the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such
Revolving Credit Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such
Revolving Credit Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank.

40

 

     (j) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (whose consent will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) and the successor Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank so replaced shall continue
to have the benefit of this Agreement in respect of any Letters of Credit of that Issuing Bank
which remain outstanding. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such
replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.13(b).

     (k) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the
Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans has been accelerated, the Required
Revolving Credit Lenders or any Issuing Bank with any outstanding Letter of Credit) demanding the
deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account
with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 102% of the LC Exposure with respect to the
applicable Letters of Credit as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided
that (i) amounts payable in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be payable in
the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement and (ii) the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article 7. Such deposit
shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than
any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made in
Permitted Investments at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the
Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any,
on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by
the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which such Issuing
Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction
of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the
Required Revolving Credit Lenders and each Issuing Bank with any outstanding Letter of Credit), be
applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

     (l) Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide notice to the
Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof) (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which
such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and aggregate face amount of the
Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving

41

 

effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof shall
have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not effect any issuance, renewal,
extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit
issued by it without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such
increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing
Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any
Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed
to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such LC
Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

     SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it
hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00
noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided
in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by
promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Designated Payment Account;
provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing
Bank.

     (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this
Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the
affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such

42

 

portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline
Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

     (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under
Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election
to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

     (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof
to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;

     (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and

     (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.

     (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

     (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required
Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no
outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless
repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

43

 

     SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) If the Funding Date does not
occur on or prior to June 30, 2011, the Commitment of each Lender shall terminate at the close of
business on June 30, 2011. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitment of each
Revolving Credit Lender shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Unless previously
terminated, the Term Loan Commitment of each Term Lender shall automatically terminate upon the
funding of Term Loans to be made by it on the Funding Date.

     (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or
reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Loans in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.12, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed
the total Revolving Credit Commitments.

     (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior
to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective
date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other debt or equity issuances, in which case
such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of
the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made
ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments of such
Class. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders of the
applicable Class, on the date of each termination or reduction under paragraph (b) of this Section,
any applicable commitment fees on the amount of the Commitments of such Class so terminated or
reduced accrued to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

     SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender the
then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (ii) to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of
each Term Loan on the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) to the Swingline Lenders the then unpaid
principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (A) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
and (B) the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is five Business Days after such
Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower
shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

44

 

     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

     (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded
therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to
the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after
assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note,
to such payee and its registered assigns).

     SECTION 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections
2.11(b) and 2.12(g), the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Term Lenders, on the dates set forth below, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the
immediately succeeding Business Day a principal amount of the Term Loans in an amount equal to the
amount set forth below for such date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the

     (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term
Maturity Date.

     SECTION 2.11. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of any Class in whole or in part, subject to prior notice
in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, however, that each partial prepayment
shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less
than $1,000,000 or, if less, the amount outstanding.

     (b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lenders) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment
hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the
date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to
be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such
notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other debt or equity
issuances, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not
satisfied; provided further that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a
conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(c), then such
notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with
Section 2.08(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing of any
Class, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of such Class of the contents thereof.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Voluntary prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Section 2.11 shall be
applied to future scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.10(a) as directed by the
Borrower. Prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
extent required by Section 2.14 and shall be subject to Section 2.17, but otherwise without premium
or penalty.

     SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the
Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay
all its outstanding Revolving Loans and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace or cause to be
canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and

46

 

each applicable Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding Letters of Credit. If, after
giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or at any other time,
the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments, then the
Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving
Loans or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and, after the Revolving Loans and Swingline
Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Issuing Bank with respect
to) Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

     (b) Not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in
respect of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with
respect thereto to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(g).

     (c) No later than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with
the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2011, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in
accordance with Section 2.12(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) the Applicable ECF
Percentage of Excess Cash Flow minus (y) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.11
during such fiscal year but only to the extent that such prepayments do not occur in connection
with a refinancing of all or any portion of Term Loans; provided, that the amount of Term Loans
required to be repaid on any date pursuant to this Section 2.12(c) shall be reduced, to the extent
thereof, by an amount equal to the Excess Cash Adjustment Amount as of such date (before giving
effect to the reduction in the succeeding clause of this sentence), and the Gross ECF Overpayment
Amount shall in such case also be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis on such date.

     (d) If any Excess Cash Withheld Amount has been determined (as of the end of the preceding
fiscal year) in respect of a fiscal year, and certified in accordance with the definition of
“Excess Cash Withheld Amount”, then at any time and from time to time during such fiscal year the
Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent reduce such Excess Cash Withheld Amount
(to the extent thereof), and if such notice is given then (x) the Borrower shall promptly prepay
outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.12(g) in an aggregate amount equal to the
Applicable ECF Percentage (calculated as of the end of the prior fiscal year) of the amount by
which such Excess Cash Withheld Amount is to be reduced, as specified in such notice, and (y) the
Excess Cash Withheld Amount in respect of such fiscal year shall be deemed reduced by the amount of
such reduction as so specified, and any calculation of Unused Withheld Amount and Excess Cash Flow
Overpayment Amount with respect to such fiscal year shall refer to the amount of Excess Cash
Withheld Amount as so reduced.

     (e) Not later than 45 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year
ending on December 31, 2012, the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.12(g) in an aggregate amount equal to the Applicable ECF Percentage (calculated as of the
end of the prior fiscal year) of the Unused Withheld Amount, if any (after giving effect to Section
2.12(d)), from the prior fiscal year.

     (f) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall receive Net Cash
Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness (other than the issuance or incurrence of
Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.01), the Borrower shall, substantially

47

 

simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following)
the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, apply an
amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with
Section 2.12(g).

     (g) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Section 2.12 shall be applied
to reduce scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (i) in forward order of
maturity to payments coming due within 12 months of the date of such prepayment and (ii) to the
extent of any excess, ratably by amount to the remaining scheduled payments.

     (h) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment
required under this Section 2.12, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower
setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) at
least three Business Days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall
specify the prepayment date, the Class and Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount
of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section
2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.17, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall
be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but
excluding the date of payment.

     SECTION 2.13. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Margin of the
average daily unutilized amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments during the period from and
including the Funding Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminate. For purposes of calculation of the commitment fee, Swingline Loans shall not, but LC
Exposure shall, be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Accrued
commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December
of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Funding Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day).

     (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to such Lender’s participations in Letters
of Credit, which shall accrue on each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for
Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Funding Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, (ii) to
each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate of 25 basis
points per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Funding Date to but excluding the later of
the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to
be any LC Exposure, and (iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, such Issuing Bank’s
standard fees (or such other fees as may be agreed to by such Issuing Bank and the Borrower from
time to time) with respect to the

48

 

amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by it or processing of drawings
thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of
March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day
following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Funding Date;
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

     (c) If the Effective Date occurs but the Funding Date does not occur on or prior to March 31,
2011, a ticking fee shall accrue on the Commitments starting from April 1, 2011 until the Funding
Date as follows: (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Commitments, at the rate of 0.50% per
annum of the Revolving Credit Commitments during the period from and including April 1, 2011 to but
excluding the Funding Date and (ii) in the case of the Term Loan Commitments, at the rate of 2.50%
per annum of the Lenders’ Term Loan Commitments during the period from and including April 1, 2011
to but excluding the Funding Date. Such ticking fee shall be payable by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the Funding Date (if, but only if, the
Funding Date occurs).

     (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable
in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.

     (e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it)
for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, participation fees and ticking fees, to the
applicable Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

     SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each
Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

     (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or
other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per
annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR
Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

     (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment
Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the

49

 

Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) in the case of Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date;
provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on
demand, (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an
ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in
the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

     (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is
based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO
Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

     SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or
the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in
such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR
Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of
Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

     SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any
Issuing Bank;

50

 

     (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein; or

     (iii) subject any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes
(other than Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments
or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case by an
amount deemed by that Lender or Issuing Bank in good faith to be material, then the Borrower will
pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

     (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding tax, capital
requirements or other requirements of law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company including those with respect to capital adequacy), in each case
by an amount deemed by that Lender in good faith to be material, then from time to time the
Borrower will, without duplication of payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.18 hereof, pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such
Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth the basis for the determination
thereof, together with supporting calculations, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender or such
Issuing Bank shall act reasonably and in good faith, and may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

     (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such

51

 

Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs
or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank,
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 such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

     SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of
any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including
as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or
prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in
accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.20 then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event (which loss, cost or expense shall not include lost profits).
In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of
such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such
period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth the basis for the determination
thereof, together with supporting calculations, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender shall act
reasonably and in good faith. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     SECTION 2.18. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan
Party under any Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable law be made free and
clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan
Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

52

 

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

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

     (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the
case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that a Loan Party has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan
Parties to do so) attributable to each Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent
in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.18(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days
after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount
of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. The certificate shall be conclusive as
between each Lender and the Administrative Agent of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest
error.

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

     (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable
withholding tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times as prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not the Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two
sentences, the completion,

53

 

execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.18(f)(ii)(A) through (F) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense)
or would, unless indemnified by the Borrower to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lender,
materially prejudice the legal position or commercial operations of the Lender. Upon the reasonable
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or
certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(f). If any form or certification
previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any
respect with respect to a Lender, the Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days
after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if
it is legally eligible to do so.

     (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender with respect to the
Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a party hereto,
duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

     (A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying
that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

     (B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from,
or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of
such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this
Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to another article of such tax treaty including,
without limitation, the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax
treaty;

     (C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under this Agreement
constitute income that is effectively connected with the Lender’s conduct of a
trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

     (D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and
(2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”)
to the effect that the Lender is not (w) a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (x) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (y) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (z) conducting a trade or business
in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively
connected;

54

 

     (E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of
payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating
Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms
prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that
would be required of each beneficial owner (or partner or Participant) if the
beneficial owner (or partner or Participant) were a Lender; provided, however, that
if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, the Lender may
provide a “U.S. Tax Certificate” on behalf of the partners; or

     (F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from,
or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with the supplementary
documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

     (iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S.
federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or
1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such other time or times
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, the documentation
prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and the additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or
the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the relevant Borrower to
comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Lender has or has not
complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from the payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

     (g) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank 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 a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this
Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund) within thirty days after receipt of such refund; provided, that such Loan Party,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or such Issuing Bank) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in
the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to

55

 

make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

     SECTION 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set Offs. (a) The Borrower
shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees
or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or
otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be
made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lenders as expressly provided herein and except
that payments pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto; in the case of each payment, Borrower may make such payment in accordance with
the wire transfer instructions from time to time provided by the Administrative Agent to the
Borrower in writing, executed in original counterpart on the Administrative Agent’s letterhead.
The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in
US Dollars except as expressly provided herein.

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

     (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary 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 participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the

56

 

express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements
to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     (d) 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
applicable Issuing Bank 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 such Issuing Bank, 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 applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such
Issuing Bank 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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

     (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Sections 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.19(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may,
in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

     SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18,
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 2.16 or Section 2.18, as the case
may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

     (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Loan Party is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, or if any Lender of any Class becomes a Defaulting Lender, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its

57

 

interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender of such Class, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank),
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of
an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

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

     (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a);

     (b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action
hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section
9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the
case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
Lender affected thereby;

     (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then:

     (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any
part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of
all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s
Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’
Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) the sum of any non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit
Exposure plus its Applicable Revolving Percentage of such Defaulting Lenders’ Swingline
Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment;

     (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially,
be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the
Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash

58

 

collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Borrower’s obligations
corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.05(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

     (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees
to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash
collateralized;

     (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause
(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and (b) shall be
adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Revolving Percentages;
and

     (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither
reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Revolving Credit
Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent
that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

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

     If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Revolving Credit Lender shall
occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline
Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Credit Lender has
defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender
commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan
and such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit,
unless the Swingline Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into
arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lenders or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

     In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lenders and the
Issuing Banks each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused
such Revolving Credit Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure

59

 

and LC Exposure of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion
of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall
determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with
its Applicable Revolving Percentage.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

     SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, and, except in each case where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and (ii) is qualified to do
business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

     SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each
Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers. The Loan Documents have been duly
authorized by the Borrower, and will have been duly authorized by each other Loan Party on or prior
to the Funding Date. The other Transactions will have been duly authorized by each Loan Party on
or prior to the Funding Date. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan
Party party hereto and constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by
each Loan Party party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such
Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

     SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by each Loan Party party hereto, and performance by each such Loan Party of its
obligations hereunder, in each case from and after the date such Loan Party becomes a party hereto,
(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by
any Governmental Authority, except for (i) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States
Copyright Office, (ii) recordation of the Mortgages and (iii) such as have been obtained or made
and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law, statute, rule or
regulation or the certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational
documents of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental
Authority, (c) will not be in conflict with, violate or result in a default or give rise to any
right to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under
any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries or its property or assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment
to be made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (except pursuant to

60

 

the Fee Letter or the Loan Documents) and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of
any Lien, other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02, on any property or any asset now owned or
hereafter acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Lien
created hereunder or under the Collateral Documents), where any such conflict, violation, breach or
default referred to in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 3.03, would reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders the Main Shipbuilding Subsidiary’s consolidated balance sheet
and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows as of and for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, audited by and accompanied by the
opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants. Such financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash
flows of the Main Shipbuilding Subsidiary and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and
for such periods in accordance with GAAP. Such balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose all
material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Main Shipbuilding Subsidiary and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof.

     (b) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders its unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet and related pro forma statements of income, stockholder’s equity and cash flows as of
December 31, 2010, prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred, with respect
to such balance sheet, on such date and, with respect to such other financial statements, on the
first day of the 12-month period ending on such date. Such pro forma financial statements have been
prepared in good faith by the Borrower, based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma
financial information contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum (which assumptions are
believed by the Borrower on the date hereof to be reasonable), accurately reflect all material
adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions and present fairly on a pro
forma basis the estimated consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period, assuming that the Transactions had actually
occurred at such date or at the beginning of such period, as the case may be.

     (c) There has not occurred since December 31, 2010, any event, occurrence, change, state of
circumstances or condition which, individually or in the aggregate has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) From and after the Funding Date, each of the Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other
limited property interests in, or is licensed to use, all its real and personal property material
to its business (including all Mortgaged Properties), except for defects in the foregoing that do
not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to
utilize such properties for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title
or other ownership rights would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. From and after the Funding Date, all such material
properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section
6.02.

61

 

     (b) Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has complied with all obligations
under all leases to which it is a party, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases
are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in full force and
effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower
and the Restricted Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases,
other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession
would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect.

     (c) As of the Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has
received any written notice of, nor has any knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation
proceeding for any material portion of the Mortgaged Properties or any sale or disposition thereof
in lieu of condemnation.

     (d) As of the Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is
obligated under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or
otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein.

     (e) Each of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed or otherwise has
the right to use, or could obtain ownership or possession of, all trademarks, tradenames,
copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, except for those the
failure to own, possess, license or have the right to use which would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the use thereof by the Borrower and the Restricted
Subsidiaries does not, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Borrower, infringe upon
the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (f) Schedule 3.05(f) lists completely and correctly as of the Effective Date all real property
owned in fee by the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries (and the addresses thereof) that are
material to their business.

     (g) Schedule 3.05(g) lists completely and correctly as of the Effective Date all real property
leased by the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries (and the addresses thereof) that are material
to their business.

     SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except for the Disclosed Matters,
there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any
business, property or rights of any such Person (i) as to which there is a reasonable likelihood of
an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that challenge the
enforceability of any Loan Document.

     (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

62

 

Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (i) has failed, or
is failing, to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit,
license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any
Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental
Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

     (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed
Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the
likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. (a) Each of the Borrower and the

the Borrower). As of the Funding Date, the shares of capital stock or other ownership interests in

matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. All material payments due from the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or for
which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, on account of wages
and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary. The consummation of the
Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part
of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary is bound.

     SECTION 3.17. Solvency. Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the

the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of the debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as such debts
and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis will be able to pay the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as such debts

on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the
businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be
conducted following the Funding Date.

the Administrative Agent a complete and correct copy of the Transaction Documents that are in
effect as of such date (including all schedules, exhibits, amendments, supplements and

Borrower or each Loan Party, any other Person party thereto is in default in the performance or
compliance with any material provisions thereof.

liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $25,000,000; and

     (d) any other development that has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in,
a Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer
or other executive officer of the Borrower setting forth the details of the event or development
requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto.

     SECTION 5.03. Existence; Conduct of Business. Do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses,
permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business, except as would not,

provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Transactions or any merger, consolidation,
liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.05.

Subsidiary; provided that neither the Borrower nor any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be required
to pay any such Tax, assessment, charge, levy or claims (i) the payment of which is being contested
in good faith and by proper proceedings, (ii) not yet delinquent or (iii) the non-payment of which,
if taken in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

73

 

     SECTION 5.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance.

order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and except where failure to do so would not

     (b) Maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such
amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or
similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

     (c) Cause all such policies covering any Collateral to be endorsed or otherwise amended to
include a customary lender’s loss payable endorsement, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, which endorsement shall provide that, from and after
the Funding Date, if the insurance carrier shall have received written notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
insurance carrier shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Borrower or the Loan Parties
under such policies directly to the Collateral Agent; cause all such policies to provide that
neither the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any other party shall be a
coinsurer thereunder and to contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement”, without any deduction for
depreciation, and such other provisions as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may
reasonably require from time to time to protect their interests; deliver original or certified
copies of all such policies to the Collateral Agent; cause each such policy to provide that it
shall not be canceled, modified or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium upon not less
than 10 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent (giving the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent the right to cure
defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason upon not less than 30 days’ prior
written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; deliver
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, prior to the cancellation, modification or
nonrenewal of any such policy of insurance, a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other
evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent) together with evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent of
payment of the premium therefor.

     (d) If at any time the area in which the Property (as specifically defined in a Mortgage) is
located is designated (i) a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), and if available in the community in
which the Property is located, obtain flood insurance in such total amount as the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may from time to time require, and otherwise
comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, as it may be amended from time to time, or (ii) a “Zone 1” area, obtain earthquake
insurance in such total amount as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required
Lenders may from time to time require.

     (e) With respect to any Mortgaged Property, carry and maintain comprehensive general liability
insurance including the “broad form CGL endorsement” and coverage on an occurrence basis against
claims made for personal injury (including bodily injury, death and

74

 

property damage) and umbrella liability insurance against any and all claims, in no event for
a combined single limit of less than that which is customary for companies in the same or similar
businesses operating in the same or similar locations, naming the Collateral Agent as an additional
insured, on forms satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     (f) Notify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly whenever any separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be
maintained under this Section 5.05 is taken out by any Loan Party; and promptly deliver to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent a duplicate original copy of such policy or policies.

     SECTION 5.06. Books and Records; Inspection Rights; Maintenance of Ratings. (a) Keep proper
books of record and account in accordance with GAAP.

     (b) Permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent (or, if any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any Lender), upon reasonable prior notice and subject to
reasonable requirements of confidentiality, including the requirements imposed by any Governmental
Authority or by contract, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from
its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and
independent accountants, all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as
reasonably requested, provided that the exercise of rights under this Section shall not
unreasonably interfere with the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to
participate in any discussions with the Borrower’s accountants.

     (c) Use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Senior Credit Facilities to be
continuously rated by S&P and Moody’s and, at the Borrower’s election, Fitch, and (ii) maintain a
corporate rating from S&P, a corporate family rating from Moody’s, and, at the Borrower’s election,
an issuer default rating from Fitch, in each case in respect of the Borrower.

     SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. Comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of
any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

     SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. Use the proceeds of the Loans and the
issuance of Letters of Credit solely for the purposes described in Section 3.12.

     SECTION 5.09. Employee Benefits. Comply with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Code, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     SECTION 5.10. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Comply, and cause all lessees and other
Persons occupying its properties to comply, in all material respects with all Environmental Laws
applicable to its operations and properties; obtain and renew all material environmental permits
necessary for its operations and properties; and conduct any remedial action required by
Environmental Laws or by a Governmental Authority; provided, however, that

75

 

none of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to undertake any remedial
action or incur any compliance cost required by Environmental Laws or by a Governmental Authority
to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper
proceedings and, if applicable, appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to such
circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

     SECTION 5.11. Further Assurances. Execute any and all further documents, financing
statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action (including filing Uniform
Commercial Code and other financing statements, mortgages and deeds of trust) that may be required
under applicable law, or that the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request, in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents and in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the
security interests created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents. The Borrower
will cause any subsequently acquired or organized Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary to become a Loan Party by executing the Guarantee and Security Agreement and
each applicable Collateral Document in favor of the Collateral Agent. In addition, from time to
time (other than during a Collateral Suspension Period), the Borrower will, at its cost and
expense, promptly secure the Secured Obligations by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged
or created, perfected security interests with respect to such of its assets and properties as the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall designate (it being understood that it is the
intent of the parties that the Secured Obligations shall be secured (other than during a Collateral
Suspension Period) by substantially all the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
(but, as to real property, shall be secured only by Material Real Property owned as of, or acquired
subsequent to, the Effective Date)). Such security interests and Liens will be created under the
Collateral Documents and other security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments
and documents in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Borrower shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lenders all such instruments and documents (consistent with
the items required under Section 5.14) as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence
compliance with this Section. The Borrower agrees to provide such evidence as the Collateral Agent
shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest
and Lien. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Borrower will give prompt notice to the
Administrative Agent of the acquisition by it or any of the Subsidiaries of any Material Real
Property.

     SECTION 5.12. Designation of Subsidiaries. In the case of the Borrower, at any time and from
time to time in its sole discretion, designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) immediately
before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (b) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Borrower shall be in
compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the covenants set forth in Sections 6.11 and 6.12 (and, as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such designation, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations
demonstrating such compliance), (c) no Subsidiary that owns any Equity Interests of any Restricted
Subsidiary, shall be an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (d) (i) the designation of any Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to

76

 

the net book value (or, in the case of any guarantee or similar Investment, the fair market
value thereof) of such Investments of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) no such
designation shall be effective if, immediately after such designation, the sum of (x) the amount of
all such Investments and (y) the amount of all Investments in majority-owned joint ventures, in
each case net of cash returned to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such
Investments, exceeds $150,000,000 in the aggregate, (e) no Subsidiary may be designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purpose of the Senior Notes, any
other Permitted Senior Indebtedness or any Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness (unless it is
concurrently designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary for the purpose of such other Indebtedness)
and (f) there shall be no Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than Titan II and Ascension) on the
Effective Date or the Funding Date. If any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary on any date
after the Funding Date (including by redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted
Subsidiary), the Indebtedness of such Person outstanding on such date will be deemed to have been
incurred by such Person on such date for purposes of Section 6.01, but will not be considered the
sale or issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of Section 6.05. Titan II and Ascension will be
deemed designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary immediately upon its becoming a Subsidiary of the
Borrower, provided that the conditions in clauses (a) through (e) above are satisfied at such time.

     SECTION 5.13. Maintenance of Separate Existence. So long as Titan II shall exist, do all
things necessary to cause Titan II to maintain a separate existence from the Borrower and each
other Restricted Subsidiary, including, without limitation, causing Titan II to (i) maintain proper
corporate records and books of account separate from those of the Borrower and each other
Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) hold appropriate meetings of its board of directors, keep minutes of
such meetings and of meetings of its members and observe all other necessary organizational
formalities (and any successor shall observe similar procedures in accordance with its governing
documents and applicable law); (iii) at all times hold itself out to the public under its own name
as a legal entity separate and distinct from the Borrower and each other Restricted Subsidiary; and
(iv) refrain from (A) having any assets other than as contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
(B) guaranteeing, becoming obligated for or holding itself or its credit out to be responsible for
or available to satisfy, the debts or obligations of any other Person, or otherwise having any
liabilities except for the guarantees and related liabilities pursuant to the Titan II Guarantees
or liabilities for which Titan II is indemnified under the Transaction Documents, (C) acting with
the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors in violation of applicable law, (D)
acquiring any securities or debt instruments of its Affiliates or any other Person, and (E) making
loans or advances, or transferring its assets, to any Person, except (in the case of clauses (A),
(B) and (E) above) for liabilities permitted under Section 6.08(b) and de minimis assets,
liabilities, advances, loans and transfers related to the maintenance of Titan II’s existence or to
the conduct of the activities of Titan II permitted under Section 6.08(b).

     SECTION 5.14. Post-Funding Date Collateral Matters. Within 90 days after the Funding Date
(or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), (i) execute and deliver to the
Collateral Agent or cause to be executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent each of the
Collateral Documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, relating to each
of the Mortgaged Properties, (ii) cause each of such Collateral Documents to be filed and recorded
in the recording office as specified on Schedule 7(A) to the Perfection Certificate and,

77

 

in connection therewith, provide to the Collateral Agent evidence satisfactory to it of each
such filing and recordation (or a lender’s title insurance policy, in form and substance consistent
with clause (iv) below and covering the “gap” of time between the delivery of the applicable
Collateral Document and the recordation of such Collateral Document), (iii) cause the Collateral
Agent to receive, in order to comply with the Flood Laws, the following documents relating to
Mortgaged Properties: (A) a completed standard flood hazard determination form; (B) if any
improvement(s) comprising part of the Mortgaged Properties are located in a special flood hazard
area, a notification to the Borrower (“Borrower Notice”) and (if applicable) notification to the
Borrower that flood insurance coverage under the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”) is not
available because the community does not participate in the NFIP; and (C) documentation evidencing
the Borrower’s receipt of the Borrower Notice; and (D) if the Borrower Notice is required to be
given and flood insurance is available in the community in which the applicable property is
located, a copy of one of the following: the flood insurance policy, the Borrower’s application for
a flood insurance policy plus proof of premium payment, a declaration page confirming that flood
insurance has been issued, or such other evidence of flood insurance satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent; and (iv) cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such other documents, including a
policy or policies of title insurance issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company
selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, insuring such
Collateral Document as a first lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject to no Liens other than the
Liens permitted by Section 6.02, together with such endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance as
may be available in the applicable jurisdiction and reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders, with insurance amounts of not more than 105% of the actual value (as reasonably
estimated by the Borrower based on real estate tax assessment information) of the applicable
Mortgaged Property at the time such Collateral Document is recorded, together with such surveys,
abstracts, appraisals and reasonable and customary legal opinions reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent.

prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice,
the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or
agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the
prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity (and the
lapse of any applicable grace periods in respect thereof); provided that this clause (g) shall not
apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the
property or assets securing such Indebtedness;

     (h) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition
shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower

     (m) any security interest purported to be created by any Collateral Document in any material

covered thereby;

     (n) any Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries

agreements evidencing such Indebtedness;

     (o) a Change in Control shall occur; or

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause

Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders (or in the case of terminating
the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to clause (i) below, the Required

94

 

Revolving Credit Lenders), shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following
actions, as applicable, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and
thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to

obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
Borrower, and (iii) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available
to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law; provided that in case of any
event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments
shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with
accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder,
shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. Nothing in this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies the Lenders may otherwise have, including setoff
rights.

ARTICLE 8

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent

     Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article 8, the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) as its agent and authorizes the
Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such
Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby
expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the
Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and (ii) negotiate,
enforce or the settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as
such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will
be binding upon each Lender.

     Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that
such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall not
have any duty to disclose, and nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank
serving as the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its

95

 

Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such
Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to such Agent and to confirm the occurrence of the Effective Date in accordance with
Section 4.02.

     The bank serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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 an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

     Each 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
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each 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. Each 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.

     Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each 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 the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent
and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to
their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities as
well as activities as Agent.

     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, each Agent
may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (such successor to be
approved by the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
however, if an Event of Default shall exist at such time, no approval of the Borrower shall be
required). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing

96

 

Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or
an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given
by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall
thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Any such resignation by such Agent hereunder shall also
constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender,
in which case such resigning Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit
or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights, duties
and obligations as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such
resignation. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Agent and, if applicable, as an Issuing Bank (and shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make
other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations
of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit) and a Swingline Lender, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable
by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder,
the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring 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 acting as Agent.

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

     It is agreed that the Syndication Agent, Documentation Agents, Lead Arrangers and Joint
Bookrunners shall, in their capacities as such, have no duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or liability in connection with this Agreement. None of the Syndication Agent,
Documentation Agents, Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, in their capacities as such, has or is
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

     (iv) if to any other Lender or Issuing Bank, to it at its address (or telecopy number)

     (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article 2 unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. 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.

     (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other

     (d) Each Lender is responsible for providing prompt notice to the Administrative Agent of any
changes to the information set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

     SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or

98

 

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

     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (other than any LC Continuing
Agreement) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the
case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent
of the Required Lenders and (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent with the
consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment
of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any
Loan or any LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the
scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any LC Disbursement, or any
interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.19(b), 2.19(c) or any other
provision of the Loan Documents in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby, without the written consent of each affected Lender, (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit
Lenders”, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to
waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release any Guarantor (other than in
connection with the sale of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05) without the
written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without
the written consent of each Lender, (viii) change any of the provisions in Section 9.04(b) in such
a way that imposes greater restrictions on a Lender’s ability to assign all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby, (ix) change any of the provisions of Section 15 (Application of Proceeds) of the
Guarantee and Security Agreement without the consent of each Lender and (x) amend, modify,
supplement or waive any condition precedent to any Revolving Loan set forth in Section 4.03 without
the written consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; provided further that no such
agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

99

 

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02(b), on the Funding
Date the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted, without the consent of any other
Lender, to complete the column under “Repayment Dates” in the table set forth in Section 2.10(a) to
reflect repayment dates that are in successive 3-month intervals from the Funding Date.

     (c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a
“Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all the Lenders, if the consent of Lenders representing
the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent of any other Lender is
not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 9.02(c)
being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, any assignee
identified by the Borrower (with the consent of such assignee) that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender, an Approved Fund or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (and that
is not a Non-Consenting Lender) shall have the right, after consultation of the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent (and with the consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such
assignment would require its consent under Section 9.04(b)(i)), to purchase from such
Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Borrower’s
request, sell and assign to such assignee, at no expense to such Non-Consenting Lender (including
with respect to any processing and recordation fees that may be applicable pursuant to Section
9.04(b)(ii)), all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or
Commitments that is the subject of such Proposed Change, for an amount equal to the principal
balance of all Loans (and funded participations in Swingline Loans and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements) held by such Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest, accrued fees and other
amounts with respect thereto through the date of sale (including amounts under Sections 2.16, 2.17
and 2.18), such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and
Assumption in accordance with Section 9.04(b) (which Assignment and Assumption need not be signed
by such Non-Consenting Lender).

     SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the
Lead Arrangers, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and any other special or
local counsel for the Administrative Agent as may have been retained by the Administrative Agent
after consultation with the Borrower, in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of
this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial and
ongoing Collateral examination and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more
than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or any amendments, modifications
or waivers of the provisions hereof (in each case whether or not the Transactions are consummated),
(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment
thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender,
in connection with the enforcement or

100

 

protection of its rights under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters
of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

     (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead
Arrangers each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons
(each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the arrangement and the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein, the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any
other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release or
threatened release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property owned or operated by
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of
whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors
or agents. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that
represent losses or damages from any non-Tax claim.

     (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; 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, the Issuing Bank or
the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share”
shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure,
outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender
were a Defaulting Lender).

     (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall
have liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or

101

 

any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof (other than in respect of such damages incurred or paid
by an Indemnitee to a third party).

     (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly/not later than 10 days after
written demand therefor, together with reasonable detail and supporting documentation.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the
expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

     SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby
(including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate
of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (but only to the extent
expressly provided for in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

     (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

     (B) the Administrative Agent, and in the case of a Revolving Credit
Commitment, each of the Swingline Lenders; provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lenders shall be required for an assignment
of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund; and

102

 

     (C) any Issuing Bank with LC Exposure; provided that no consent of the Issuing
Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan.

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

     (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term
Loan, $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;
provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect
of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

     (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500;

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

     (E) no assignment shall be permitted to (x) the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates without the approval of the Required Lenders or (y) a
natural person.

     (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such

103

 

Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

     (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements 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, each Issuing Bank
and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

     (v) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Assumption
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent and, if
required, the Borrower shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender
or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d), 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.19(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together
with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

     (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and the LC Disbursements owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (C) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the
cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if they
were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender
that sold the participation to such participant) and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement

104

 

and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender.

     (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.16 or 2.18 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 shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 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 2.18(f) as though it were a Lender.

     (iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all
or any portion of the Participant register to any Person (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United
States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

     (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or
assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     SECTION 9.05. Survival. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other
manner specified in such Loan Document. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrower and the Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied

105

 

upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder,
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on
any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any Loan
Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03
and Article 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or
any Issuing Bank, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

     SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together,
bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, PDF or other
electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.

     SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by
such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Domestic Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary against any of and all the
obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such
other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.

106

 

The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

     SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement
and the Loan Documents (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein)
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

     (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     (c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

     SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

107

 

     SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and
the Lenders (each, a “Recipient”) acknowledges that the Borrower considers the Information (as
defined below) to include confidential, sensitive or proprietary information and agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to such
Recipient’s and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel and other advisors (collectively, such Recipient’s “Representatives”) (provided that
such Representatives shall be informed by such Recipient of the confidential nature of such
information prior to the disclosure and shall be directed to treat such information in accordance
with the terms hereof, and each Recipient hereby agrees to be, and shall be, responsible for any
breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 9.12 by its Representatives), (ii) to the
extent requested in any legal, judicial, administrative proceeding or other compulsory process
(including for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense in connection with such
proceeding or process) or as required by applicable law or regulations, or upon the request or
demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Recipient or its affiliates
(provided that, to the extent not prohibited by law or legal process, the disclosing Recipient will
notify the Borrower as soon as practical in the event of any such disclosure pursuant to this
clause (ii) (other than any disclosure made in the course of any examination conducted by a bank
regulatory authority)), (iii) to any other party to this Agreement, (iv) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (v) subject to a Confidentiality
Agreement executed (including in the form of a binding electronic “click-through” agreement) in
favor of the Borrower, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) designated by the Loan Parties to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vi) with the written consent of the
Borrower acting through a Financial Officer or (vii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its business, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.

     (b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a)) FURNISHED TO IT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND
ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING
FEDERAL AND STATE

108

 

SECURITIES LAWS (AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CLAUSE (A) ABOVE).

     (c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER
OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER,
THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH
LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW(AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CLAUSE (A) ABOVE).

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of the Borrower (and in any case
no more frequently than once every thirty days) provide to the Borrower a list of financial
institutions or other entities that have accessed private-side Information on the IntraLinks site
established in connection with the Senior Credit Facilities (it being understood and agreed that
each such Person shall have executed (including by “click-through”) a Confidentiality Agreement).

     SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if
at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable
law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges
payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the
interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a
result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to
such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

     SECTION 9.14. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each
party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange
used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant
jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day
immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

     (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any
holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any
judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the

109

 

currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be
discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable
Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less
than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable
Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.14 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

     SECTION 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower
in accordance with the Act.

     SECTION 9.16. Collateral Release and Recapture. (a) At such time as the Borrower has
achieved the Collateral Suspension Ratings Level and so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right by written notice to the
Administrative Agent to require that the Collateral be released from any security interest created
by the Loan Documents. On any such date (the “Collateral Suspension Date”), all rights to the
Collateral shall transfer and revert to the relevant Loan Parties and all Liens and security
interests created by the Loan Documents shall automatically terminate. On any such Collateral
Suspension Date, the Borrower and each other Loan Party shall be authorized and the Collateral
Agent hereby authorizes the Borrower and each other Loan Party, to prepare and record UCC
termination statements, PTO termination of assignment filings, or other analogous documents and
filings with respect to any financing statements or collateral assignments recorded by the
Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower
following the Collateral Suspension Date, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Borrower any
Collateral (including certificates representing the Pledged Stock (as defined in the Guarantee and
Security Agreement)) held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and execute
and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence
such termination, including without limitation, original executed releases of the Mortgages in
recordable form.

     (b) If on any subsequent date the Borrower fails to satisfy the Collateral Suspension Ratings
Level (such subsequent date, the “Collateral Reversion Date”), any Collateral that was released
from Liens securing the Secured Obligations, as well as any Collateral acquired since the
Collateral Suspension Date, will be restored and pledged to secure the Secured Obligations in
accordance with the Collateral Documents and Section 5.11. The period of time between the
Collateral Suspension Date and the Collateral Reversion Date is referred to herein as the
“Collateral Suspension Period.”

     SECTION 9.17. Collateral and Guaranty Release. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the
Agents:

110

 

     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in
full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable)
and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is disposed of or to be
disposed of to a Person other than a Loan Party as part of or in connection with any sale or other
transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 9.02, if
approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

     (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Security Agreement
if such Person ceases to be a Wholly Own Domestic Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction permitted hereunder; and

     (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is
permitted by Section 6.02(i) and (p).

     In each case as specified in this Section 9.17, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as
such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the
assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its
interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and
Security Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this
Section 9.17. In each case as specified in this Section 9.17, the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party
such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment, security interest and Lien granted under the Collateral Documents,
and, if applicable, return any possessory collateral or to release such Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and
this Section 9.17. In each case as specified in this Section 9.17, the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent hereby authorize the applicable Loan Parties to prepare and record UCC termination
statements, PTO termination of assignment filings, or other analogous documents and filings with
respect to any financing statements or collateral assignments recorded by the Collateral Agent
under the Collateral Documents.

     SECTION 9.18. Security Clearance. The Lenders, the Agents and the Issuing Banks acknowledge
that the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries perform classified contracts funded by or for the
benefit of the United States Federal government and, accordingly, neither the Loan Parties nor
their Subsidiaries will release, disclose or otherwise make available to any Lender, any Agent or
any Issuing Bank any classified information or nuclear material in violation of any requirement of
law, including laws restricting release of such information or material to any parties not in
possession of a valid security clearance and authorized by the appropriate agency of the United
States Federal government to receive such information or material. The Lenders, the Agents and the
Issuing Banks acknowledge that in connection with any exercise of a right or remedy the United
States Federal government may remove classified information or government-issued property prior to
any remedial action which would give the Lenders, the Agents or the Issuing Banks access to or
control over such classified information or government-issued property. The Lenders, the Agents
and the Issuing Banks acknowledge that any exercise

111

 

of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable laws may be subject to the
federal National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (“NISPOM”), including, without
limitation, the rules governing Foreign Ownership Control or Influence (as defined therein).
Notwithstanding any notice requirements or other obligations of the Loan Parties under this
Agreement, none of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries shall be required to furnish any
classified or other confidential information to the extent that furnishing such information would
not be permitted under applicable requirements of law (including, without limitation, the National
Industrial Security Program established by Executive Order 12829 for the protection of information
classified under, inter alia, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and the procedures set forth in NISPOM
and the Department of Energy security regulations, including, without limitation, the foreign
ownership, control or influence regulations under 48 CFR 904.70003, et seq.). Nothing in this
Section 9.18 shall relieve the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries of the obligation pursuant to
Section 5.02 to furnish to the Administrative Agent written notice of any actual knowledge of the
Borrower of any development in connection with any classified contract that may have a material
adverse effect on the value of such contract to a Loan Party or Subsidiary, including but not
limited to notice of cancellation received by the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries or allegation
of default with respect to such contract to the extent compliance with such specific notice
obligations is not prohibited by applicable law or regulation.

     SECTION 9.19. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges that
none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Lenders,
and the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the
other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor.
