     4. Exercisability Upon and After Termination of Optionee.

	 	(a)	 	If the Optionee has a Termination of Service, other than by reason of death or
Disability, the Option as then exercisable may be exercised by the Optionee during the
90-day period following the Termination of Service, or if earlier, the expiration of
the term of the Option as provided under paragraph 5 below; provided that, (i) if the
Optionee dies during such 90-day period, the Successor of the Optionee may exercise the
Option until the earlier of (x) 12 months from the date of the Termination of Service
of the Optionee, or (y) the date on which the term of the Option expires in accordance
with paragraph 5 below, and (ii) if the Optionee has a Termination of Service by a
Participating Company for Cause, any Option not exercised in full prior to such
Termination of Service shall be cancelled.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In the event the Optionee has a Termination of Service on account of death or
Disability, the Option as then exercisable may be exercised by the Optionee or the
Successor of the Optionee, as applicable, until the earlier of (i) 12 months from the
date of the Termination of Service of the Optionee, or (ii) the date on which the term
of the Option expires in accordance with paragraph 5 below.
	 
	                                                       
	 	(c)	 	In the event the Grantee has a Termination of Service (other than a Termination
of Service by the Company for Cause) within 12 months following a Change of Control,
any then unvested Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable; provided that
such Option shall only be exercisable until the date on which the term of the Option
expires in accordance with paragraph 5 below.
	                                                        
	 
	 	(d)	 	Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Option (or portion thereof)
which had not become exercisable at or before the time of Termination of Service shall
ever be or become exercisable. No provision of this paragraph 4 is intended to or
shall permit the exercise of the Option to the extent the Option was not exercisable
upon Termination of Service.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Termination of Service as an employee shall not be treated as a termination of
employment for purposes of this paragraph 4 if the Optionee continues without
interruption to serve thereafter as an officer or director of the Company or in such
other capacity as determined by the Committee (or if no Committee is appointed, the
Board), and the termination of such successor service shall be treated as the
applicable termination.

     5. Term.

     Unless earlier forfeited, the Option shall, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, expire in its entirety upon the [tenth]
[fifth] anniversary of the date hereof. The
Option shall also expire and be forfeited at such earlier times and in such circumstances as
otherwise provided hereunder or under the Plan.

     6. Miscellaneous.

 

 

 

	 	(a)	 	THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF MARYLAND WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW WHICH COULD
CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF
MARYLAND. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof
and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified
except by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective
successors and legal representatives. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	[for ISOs only:] [If Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option are disposed
of in a disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code by the
Optionee or, if applicable, a Successor of the Optionee, prior to the expiration of
either two years from the date of grant of the Option or one year from the transfer of
Shares to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option, or in any other
disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, the Optionee
or the Successor of the Optionee, as applicable, shall notify the Company in writing as
soon as practicable (and in no event more than five days) thereafter of the date and
terms of such disposition and, if the Company thereupon has a tax-withholding
obligation, shall pay to the Company an amount equal to any withholding tax the Company
is required to pay as a result of the disqualifying disposition.]
	 
	 	(c)	 	[(b)] All notices hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Company or the
Committee, shall be delivered to the Board or mailed to its principal office (either by
first class mail or via electronic mail), addressed to the attention of the Board; and
if to the Optionee, shall be delivered personally or mailed to the Optionee (either by
first class mail or via electronic mail) at the address appearing in the records of the
Company. Such addresses may be changed at any time by written notice to the other
party given in accordance with this paragraph 6[(c)] [(b)].
	 
	 	(d)	 	[(c)] The failure of the Optionee or the Company to insist upon strict
compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the Plan, or to assert any right the
Optionee or the Company, respectively, may have under this Agreement or the Plan, shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right
of this Agreement or the Plan.
	 
	 	(e)	 	[(d)] The Optionee agrees that, at the request of the Committee, the Optionee
shall represent to the Company in writing that the Shares being acquired are acquired
for investment only and not with a view to distribution and that such Shares will be
disposed of only if registered for sale under the Act or if there is an available
exemption for such disposition. The Optionee expressly understands and agrees that, in
the event of such a request, the making of such representation shall be a condition
precedent to receipt of Shares upon exercise of the Option.
	 
	 	(f)	 	[(e)] The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any payments or deemed
payments any amount of tax withholding it determines to be required by law.
	 
	 	(g)	 	[(f)] Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on the Optionee any right to
continue in the employ or other service of the Company or its Subsidiaries or interfere
in any way with

 

 

	 	 	 	the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries and its stockholders to terminate the
Optionee’s employment or other service at any time.
	 
	 	(h)	 	[(g)] This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or
oral, with respect thereto.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Optionee have executed this Agreement as of the day
and year first above written.

          RESTATEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 4, 2011 (this “Restatement Agreement”), to
the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2006 (as amended and in effect immediately prior to

N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Collateral Agent (the
“Collateral Agent”).

          WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested, and the Lenders party hereto, which constitute the
Required Lenders, have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, that
the Original Credit Agreement be amended and restated as provided herein; and

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements herein contained, the
Borrowers, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below), except
that the defined terms “Lender” and “Required Lenders” shall have the meaning given to such terms
by the Original Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 2. Amendment and Restatement of the Original Credit Agreement. The Credit
Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A
hereto (the “Restated Credit Agreement”). The portion, if any, of each Lender’s Tranche

the Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the
proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit
Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect and (v) may
be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. Each outstanding Swingline Loan
shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (a) 15 Business Days after such Swingline Loan is
initially Borrowed and (b) the Swingline Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender shall not make any
Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from the Parent Borrower or any Lender stating that
a Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender
shall have received written notice of (i) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties
originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in
accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1.

          (d) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to
each Revolving Credit Lender that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a
Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, in which case Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in Dollars constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall
be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by each Revolving Credit Lender pro rata based
on each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Per-

70

 

centage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay
the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby
irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to
each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on
the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of
the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in
Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied,
(iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of
such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after any
such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender,
any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above
(including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of
the Parent Borrower), each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase
from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding
Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably
based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, provided that all
principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline
Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to
the purchased participation, shall be payable to such Lender purchasing same from and after such
date of purchase.

          2.2. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate
principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be in a minimum
amount of at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Type of Loans and in a multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (or £500,000 in the case of Loans denominated in Sterling, or
€1,000,000 in the case of Loans denominated in Euro) and Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum
amount of $500,000 and in a multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (except that Mandatory
Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(d) and Revolving Credit
Loans to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to any Unpaid Drawing shall be made in
the amounts required by Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, as applicable). More than one
Borrowing may be incurred on any date, provided that at no time shall there be outstanding
more than 30 Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement.

          2.3. Notice of Borrowing.

          (a) The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Office (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ prior
written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Borrowing of Term Loans
if such Term Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) written notice
(or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on
the date of the Borrowing of Term Loans if such Term Loans are to be ABR Loans. Such notice
(together with each notice of a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section
2.3(b) and each notice of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(c), a
“Notice of Borrowing”) shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be
made, (ii) the date of the Borrowing and (iii) whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Term
Loans (in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars) and/or LIBOR Term Loans and, if the Term Loans
are to include LIBOR Term Loans, the Interest Period to be initially

71

 

applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the proposed Borrowing of Term Loans, of such
Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of
Borrowing.

          (b) Whenever the Parent Borrower desires to incur Revolving Credit Loans (other than
Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), it shall give the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City Time) at least
three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of
each Borrowing of LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) prior to 12:00 Noon
(New York City time) at least four Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephone notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of the Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies and (iii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such
Borrowing prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each
Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans that are ABR Loans. Each such Notice of Borrowing, except as
otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall specify (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist
of ABR Loans (in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars) or LIBOR Revolving
Credit Loans and, if LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Revolving Credit Lender written notice
(or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving Credit
Loans, of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage thereof and of the other matters
covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

          (c) Whenever
the Parent Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans here-under, it shall give
the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of
each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such
Borrowing. Each such notice shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline
Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing and (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a
Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall promptly give the Swingline Lender written notice
(or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Swingline Loans
and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

          (d) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section
2.1(d), with the Parent Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan,
to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

          (e) Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in
Section 3.4(a).

          (f) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any
notice it may give here-under by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of
written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower.

72

 

          2.4. Disbursement of Funds.

          (a) No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion,
if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below,
provided that all Swingline Loans shall be made available in the full amount thereof by the
Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date requested.

          (b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the applicable Borrower
under any Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the applicable currency and the
Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay
Unpaid Drawings) make available to the applicable Borrower, by depositing to an account designated
by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made
available in the applicable currency. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by
any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make
available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such
date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such
assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the
applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made
available such amount to the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Borrower shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in the applicable currency. The Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the applicable Borrower interest on
such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such corresponding
amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such
Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the applicable Borrower, the then-applicable rate of
interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

          (c) Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its
obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may
have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood,
however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its
commitments hereunder).

          2.5. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

          (a) The Parent Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
applicable Lenders, (i) on the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Maturity Date, the then-outstanding Tranche
A-1 Term Loans, in Dollars, (ii) on the Tranche A-2 Term Loan Maturity

European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lenders, on the European-1 Tranche Term Loan Maturity Date, the

Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on the Revolving Credit

          (b) (i) The Parent Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the
benefit of the Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lenders, on each date set forth below (or, if not a Business
Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) (each, a “Tranche A-1 Repayment Date”), a principal

          (d) In the event that any New Term Loans are made, such New Term Loans shall, subject to
Section 2.14(d), be repaid by the Parent Borrower in the amounts (each, a “New Term Loan
Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each a “New Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable
Joinder Agreement. In the event that any Extended Term Loans are established following the
Restatement Effective Date, such Extended Term Loans shall, subject to Section 2.14(f), be
repaid by the applicable Borrower in the amounts (each such amount with respect to any Extended
Repayment Date, an “Extended Term Loan Repayment Amount”) and on the dates (each an “Extended
Repayment Date”) set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment.

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

          (f) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section
14.6(b), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together)
shall be recorded (i) the amount and Class of each Loan made hereunder, the Type of each Loan made,
the currency in which made 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 applicable Borrower
to each Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from such Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (g) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to
clauses (e) and (f) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the
applicable Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as
applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable
Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the applicable Borrower by such
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          2.6. Conversions and Continuations.

          (a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (x) the Parent
Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least
$10,000,000 of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans denominated
in Dollars of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (y) each Borrower shall
have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans
as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period, provided that (i) no partial conversion
of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a
single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted
into LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and
the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole
discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for
an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of

77

 

Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent
has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
continuation, (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall
be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2 and (v) European-1 Tranche Term Loans and
Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies may not be converted to ABR Loans.
Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the applicable Borrower by giving the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time)
at least (i) three Business Days’ notice, in the case of a continuation of or conversion to LIBOR
Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) four Business Days’ notice, in the case of a continuation or
conversion to LIBOR Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or (iii) one Business Day’s notice
in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Loans to be
so converted or continued, the Type of Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Loans
are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially
applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender notice as promptly
as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

          (b) If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed
continuation of any LIBOR Loans (other than Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies) and the
Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion
not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day
of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in
respect of LIBOR Loans (other than Borrowings of LIBOR Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies), the applicable Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable
thereto as provided in clause (a), such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of
such current Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Borrowings of LIBOR
Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, in connection with the occurrence of any of the events
described in the preceding two sentences, at the expiration of the then current Interest Period
each such Borrowing shall be automatically continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans with an Interest
Period of one month.

          (c) No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different
currency.

          2.7. Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement
shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Each Borrowing of New Term Loans under this Agreement
shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable New Term Loan
Commitments. It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender severally but not jointly
shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure
of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) other than as expressly provided
herein with respect to a Defaulting Lender, failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations
under any of the Credit Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation
under any Credit Document.

78

 

          2.8. Interest.

          (a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the
Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that
shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR, in each case, in effect from time to
time.

          (b) The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of
the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per
annum that shall at all times be the Applicable LIBOR Margin plus the relevant LIBOR Rate
plus (in the case of a LIBOR Loan of any Lender that is loaned from a lending office in the
United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the Mandatory Cost, in each case, in effect from
time to time.

          (c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest
payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default
Rate”) (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto
plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from the date of such non-payment
to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

          (d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but
excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable in the same currency in which such
Loan is denominated. Except as provided below, interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each
ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable
thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at
three-month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan,
(A) on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid but excluding in any event prepayments of ABR Loans),
(B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (C) after such maturity, on demand.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any fiscal quarter of the Parent Borrower beginning
on or after January 1, 2007 (each, an “Applicable Quarter”), on any date during such Applicable
Quarter (I) that is prior to the date on which Section 9.1 Financials are due with respect to the
fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Applicable Quarter and (II) on which interest is payable
on any Loan pursuant to this subclause (d) (other than pursuant to subclause
(iii)(B) above) in respect of any period (including any portion of an Interest Period) included
in such Applicable Quarter (commencing on the first day of such Applicable Quarter), the amount of
such interest required to be paid on such date in respect of any Loan for such period (as to any
Loan, an “Interest Payment”) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Reserve Amount with respect
to such Loan for such period; provided that, if the amount of any Interest Payment on any
Loan shall have been reduced during any Applicable Quarter pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
then, on the date (the “Interest Gross-Up Date”) that is the earlier of (x) the Applicable Date in
respect of such Applicable Quarter and (y) (I) if such Loan is a Tranche A-1 Term Loan, Tranche B-1
Term Loan or European-1 Tranche Term Loan, the date on which all Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche
B-1 Term Loans or European Term Loans, respectively, are repaid in full or (II) if such Loan is a
Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan,

79

 

the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the applicable Borrower shall pay additional interest
on such Loan in an amount equal to the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such Loan so deducted
during such Applicable Quarter unless:

     (1) the Parent Borrower shall have delivered, at least four Business Days prior to
such Interest Gross-Up Date, Section 9.1 Financials for the fiscal quarter immediately
preceding such Applicable Quarter and

     (2) either:

     (A) such Section 9.1 Financials reveal a change in Status that results in a
decrease in the Applicable ABR Margin and Applicable LIBOR Margin for such Loan, in
which case, in lieu of paying the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such Loan for
such period as provided above, such Borrower shall pay on such Interest Gross-Up
Date an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (I) the aggregate amount of interest
that would have been payable on such Loan during such Applicable Quarter in respect
of any period included therein if such change of Status had taken effect on the
first day of such Applicable Quarter over (II) the aggregate amount of all interest
payments actually made on such Loan during such Applicable Quarter in respect of any
period included therein; or

     (B) such Section 9.1 Financials reveal a change in Status that results in
an increase in the Applicable ABR Margin and Applicable LIBOR Margin for such Loan,
in which case, such Borrower shall pay the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such
Loan for such period as provided above, and shall also pay additional interest in
respect of such Loan on such Interest Gross-Up Date in an amount equal to the amount
(if any) by which (I) the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all interest payments
actually made on such Loan during such Applicable Quarter in respect of any period
included therein plus (y) the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such Loan
for such Applicable Quarter is less than (II) the aggregate amount of interest that
would have been payable on such Loan during such Applicable Quarter in respect of
any period included therein if such change of Status had taken effect on the first
day of such Applicable Quarter.

          (e) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section
5.5.

          (f) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of
LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof. Each
such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on
all parties hereto.

          2.9. Interest Periods. At the time a Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a
Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), such Borrower shall have the
right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) the Interest Period applicable to such
Borrowing, which Interest

80

 

Period shall, at the option of such Borrower be a one, two, three, six or (in the case
of Revolving Credit Loans, if available to all the Lenders making such loans as determined by such
Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) a nine or twelve month period (or such
other period of less than six months as to which the Administrative Agent may consent).

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

     (a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on
the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR
Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall
commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

     (b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the
last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically
corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest
Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest
Period;

     (c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided
that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that
is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs
in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and

     (d) the applicable Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in
respect of any LIBOR Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the Maturity Date of
such Loan.

          2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.

          (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative
Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have
reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

     (i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x)
deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such LIBOR
Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes
arising on or after the Closing Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair
means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for
in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans (other than any
increase or reduction attributable to Taxes) because of (x) any change since the Closing
Date in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or

81

 

in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any
new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without
limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances
affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become
unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule,
regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply
therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency
occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR
market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause
(i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in
writing) to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in
the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Term Loans and LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans (other than
the European-1 Tranche Term Loans, which shall automatically continue as LIBOR Loans with Interest
Periods of one month duration) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative
Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to
give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice
of Conversion given by the applicable Borrower with respect to LIBOR Term Loans or LIBOR Revolving
Credit Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the applicable Borrower,
(y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender,
promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in
its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written
notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for
the calculation thereof, submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly
demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the
case of subclause (iii) above, the applicable Borrower shall take one of the actions
specified in subclauses (A) or (B), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) as
promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

          (b) At any time that (A) any LIBOR Loan denominated in Dollars is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Parent Borrower may
(and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either
(x) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by
giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the
same date that such Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or
(iii) or (y) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business
Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR
Loan into an ABR Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then
all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b),
or (B) any LIBOR Loan denominated

82

 

in an Alternative Currency is affected by the circumstances described in Section
2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan
affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) prepay each such LIBOR Loan or
(y) keep such LIBOR Loan outstanding, in which case the LIBOR Rate with respect to such Loan shall
be deemed to be the rate reasonably determined by such Lender as the all-in-cost of funds to fund
such Loan with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto.

          (c) If, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy of any
Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital
adequacy occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of
such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its
parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time,
promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the applicable
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not
be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any
request or directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date.
Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to
this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Borrower,
which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional
amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13,
release or diminish the applicable Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

          (d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes
indemnifiable under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and franchise and excise taxes
(imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender and, to the extent not
duplicative, any Taxes imposed on any Agent or Lender where that Tax is imposed upon or calculated
by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or
receivable) by such Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes included under clause (b) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes.

          2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by any
Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for
such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5,
2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 14.7, as a result of acceleration of
the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing
of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not
converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d)
any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn
Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not
made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or
5.2, the applicable Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender
(which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such
Lender for any additional losses, costs or

83

 

expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert,
failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of
anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

          2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b),
3.5 or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable
Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to
designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such
designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal
or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to
the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone
any of the obligations of the applicable Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in
Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

          2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4
is given by any Lender more than 120 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had
knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts,
loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled
to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case
may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of
such notice to the applicable Borrower.

          2.14. Incremental Facilities.

          (a) At any time following the Restatement Effective Date, the Parent Borrower may by
written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x)
additional tranches of term loans (the commitments thereto, the “New Term Loan Commitments”) and/or
(y) increases in or replacement classes of Revolving Credit Commitments (the “New Revolving Credit
Commitments” and, together with the New Term Loan Commitments, the “New Loan Commitments”), by an
aggregate amount (which amount for purposes of this limitation shall be calculated exclusive of (A)
the amount any New Term Loan Commitments in respect of Refinancing Term Loans and Ratio First Lien
Indebtedness and (B) the amount of any Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments that were not
established in reliance on subclause (a)(y) of the proviso to Section 2.14(b)(ii))
not in excess of (when taken together with the amount (the “Excess Amount”) by which the aggregate
amount, without duplication, of the ABL Facility and any Permitted Receivables Financing exceeds
$2,000,000,000 on the date such New Loan Commitments become effective) $1,500,000,000 in the
aggregate and not less than $100,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as (x) may be approved
by the Administrative Agent or (y) shall constitute the difference between $1,500,000,000 and all
such New Loan Commitments (when taken together with the Excess Amount on the date such New Loan
Commitments become effective) obtained on or prior to such date). Each such notice shall specify
the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Parent Borrower proposes that the New Loan
Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the
date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Parent Borrower may
approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or a portion of the
New Loan Commitments; provided that any Lender offered or approached to

84

 

provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole
discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment. In each case, such New Loan Commitments shall become
effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event
of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Loan
Commitments, as applicable; (ii) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of
New Term Loans or New Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall
be satisfied; (iii) the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in Pro Forma
Compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 10.8 as of the last day of the most
recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments and any Investment
to be consummated in connection therewith; (iv) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant
to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Parent Borrower and Administrative
Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements
set forth in Section 5.4(e) and (f); (v) the Parent Borrower shall make any
payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the New Loan Commitments, as
applicable; and (vi) the Parent Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions
or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such
transaction. Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated, a separate
series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. The Parent Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any increase in the aggregate amount
committed in respect of the ABL Facility.

          (b) (i) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Credit Commitments (other
than Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments) are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the
foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall
assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Credit Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”)
and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving
Credit Commitments, at the principal amount thereof and in the applicable currencies, such
interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be
necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving
Credit Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders
ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition
of such New Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each New
Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each
Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit
Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving
Credit Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

          (ii) At any time following the Restatement Effective Date, at the option of the Parent
Borrower and the New Lenders providing such New Revolving Credit Commitments, any New Revolving
Credit Commitments may be in the form of one or more separate classes of revolving credit
commitments (the “Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”) which shall constitute a separate
Class of Commitments from the Revolving Credit Commitments (each such separate Class of Replacement
Revolving Credit Commitments, a “Replacement Revolving Credit Series” and each Loan thereunder, a
“Replacement Revolving Credit Loan”) shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Revolving
Credit Loans (it being understood that Re-

85

 

placement Revolving Credit Commitments of a single Replacement Revolving Credit Series may be
established on more than one date); provided that:

     (a) the aggregate principal amount of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments in
effect at any time, when aggregated with the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit
Commitments at such time, shall not exceed the sum of (x) (A) $2,000,000,000 plus (B) the
amount of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments previously established prior to such date
pursuant to the following subclause (y) plus (y) solely to the extent the applicable
Joinder Agreement provides that the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments are being made
in reliance on this subclause (y), the remainder if positive of (A) $1,500,000,000
minus (B) the Excess Amount on the date such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments are
established minus (C) the aggregate amount of New Term Loan Commitments (excluding New Term
Loan Commitments for Refinancing Term Loans or Ratio First Lien Indebtedness) established on
or prior to such date minus (D) the aggregate amount of Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitments previously established in reliance on this subclause (y);

     (b) there shall be no more than three Classes, in the aggregate, of Revolving Credit
Commitments and Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding at any time;

     (c) the terms of such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, except for the tenor of
the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (which shall have a scheduled expiration date
no earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date), the size of any swingline loan and/or
letter of credit subfacilities under such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and the
applicable interest rates and Fees payable with respect to such Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitments (which shall be as specified in the applicable Joinder Agreement), shall be
substantially identical to the terms of the Revolving Credit Commitments or Replacement
Revolving Credit Commitments being replaced thereby (unless otherwise consented to by the
Administrative Agent); and

     (d) in connection with the establishment of any Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitments that will include swingline loan and/or letter of credit subfacilities, any
amendment to this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.14(e) may include provisions
relating to swingline loans and/or letters of credit, as applicable, issued thereunder,
which issuances shall be on terms substantially identical (except for the overall size of
such subfacilities, which shall be specified in the applicable Joinder Agreement) to the
terms relating to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit with respect to the Revolving Credit
Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and any
applicable swingline lender or letter of credit issuer thereunder.

          (iii) On any Increased Amount Date on which Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments are
effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) the Revolving
Credit Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, of any existing Revolving Credit
Lender who is providing a new Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment on such date and whose
existing Revolving Credit Commitment or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, is
being reduced on such date pursuant to clause (a) of the

86

 

first proviso to Section 4.2 (or the corresponding provision in any Joinder Agreement
with respect to Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments) in connection therewith shall be
converted into Replacement Revolving Credit Loans under such Lender’s new Replacement Revolving
Credit Commitment being provided on such date in the same ratio as (x) the amount of such Lender’s
new Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment bears to (y) the aggregate amount of such Lenders
existing Revolving Credit Commitment or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment of such Class prior
to any reduction of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitment pursuant to clause (a) of the first proviso to Section 4.2 (or the
corresponding provision in any Joinder Agreement with respect to Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitments) in connection therewith and (b) each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders with
Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class shall purchase from each of the
other Lenders with Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, at the principal amount
thereof and in the applicable currencies, such interests in the Replacement Revolving Credit Loans
under such Class of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments so converted or outstanding on such
Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such
assignments and purchases, the Replacement Revolving Credit Loans of such Class will be held by New
Revolving Loan Lenders with such Class of Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments ratably in
accordance with their respective Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class.

          (c) On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are
effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with
a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Series shall make a Loan to the
Parent Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such
Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with
respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made
pursuant thereto.

          (d) The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any
Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Joinder Agreement,
identical to the existing Tranche B-1 Term Loans; provided that (i) the applicable New Term
Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the Tranche B-1 Term Loan Maturity Date
and the mandatory prepayment and other payment rights of the New Term Loans and the existing
Tranche B-1 Term Loans (other than with respect to any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and any
scheduled amortization) shall be identical, (ii) the rate of interest and the amortization schedule
applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series, and the rights thereof (if any) to participate in
any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the applicable
new Lenders and set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement; provided, that (x) the weighted
average life to maturity of all New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life
to maturity of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, (y) in no event shall any Series of New Term Loans be
entitled to participate in any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event on a basis that would require a
greater proportionate repayment thereof from any such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event than that
applicable to the Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans or European-1 Tranche Term Loans
(for so long as any of such Classes of Term Loans are outstanding) or that would result in the
proportionate repayment thereof from any such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, when added to the
proportionate repayments required with respect to all other Classes of Term Loans then outstanding,
exceeding

87

 

the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and (z)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise, no Refinancing Term
Loans of any Series shall be prepaid from any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event until all
outstanding Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans and European-1 Tranche Term Loans have
been repaid, (iii) all other terms applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series that differ from
the existing Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (as
evidenced by its execution of the applicable Joinder Agreement) and (iv) the Joinder Agreement for
any New Term Loans may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the
final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date
of the applicable Joinder Agreement. The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving
Credit Commitments.

          (e) Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such
amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in
the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14. In
addition to any terms and provisions in any Joinder Agreement, and any changes or amendments to
this Agreement or any other Credit Document provided for therein, in each case, that are required
or contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 2.14 and without limiting the generality or applicability
of the provisions of Section 14.1 to any Section 2.14(e) Additional Amendments, any Joinder
Agreement may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments to this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents (any such amendment a “Section 2.14(e) Additional Amendment”);
provided that such Section 2.14(e) Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to
the time that such Section 2.14(e) Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without
limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and New Revolving
Credit Commitments provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of
any Extended Term Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit
Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14(e) Additional
Amendments to become effective at such time in accordance with Section 14.1. It is
understood and agreed that, each Lender that has consented to Amendment No. 3 hereby has consented,
and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents authorized by this Section 2.14(e) and the arrangements
described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on
behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.14(e) Additional Amendment.

          (f) (i) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time following the Restatement
Effective Date request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “Existing Class”)
be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to
all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so
converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section
2.14(f). In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrowers shall provide a notice
to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the
applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the
Extended Term Loans to be established which shall be identical to the

88

 

Term Loans of the Existing Class from which they are to be converted except (x) all or any of
the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later
dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Class (with
any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments
reflected in Section 2.5 or in the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to
the Existing Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were converted, in each case
as more particularly set forth in paragraph (iii) of this Section 2.14(f) below), (y) (A)
the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher than the interest
margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Class and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the
Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins
contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the
applicable Extension Amendment and (z) the mandatory prepayment rights of the Extended Term Loans
and such Existing Class with respect to any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event may be different so
long as the proportion (if any) of the proceeds thereof to which such Extended Term Loans are
entitled is no greater than the proportion of such proceeds to which the Existing Class is entitled
for so long as such Existing Class is outstanding and such prepayment rights would not result in
the proportionate repayment thereof from any such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event, when added to
the proportionate repayments required with respect to all other Classes of Term Loans then
outstanding, exceeding the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event);
provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or
otherwise, (A) no Extended Term Loans of any Series shall be prepaid from any Debt Incurrence
Prepayment Event until all outstanding Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans and
European-1 Tranche Term Loans have been repaid and (B) no Extended Term Loans may be optionally
prepaid prior to the date on which the Existing Class of Term Loans from which they were converted
are repaid in full except in accordance with the last sentence of Section 5.1(a). No Lender
shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Class converted
into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any
Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Class of Term
Loans from which they were converted (except to the extent that the Extension Amendment relating
thereto provides that such Extended Term Loans shall constitute an increase in the Tranche B-3 Term
Loans (in the case of Extended Term Loans of the Parent Borrower only) or any previously
established Extension Series of the applicable Borrower, in which case each Repayment Amount
remaining for the Tranche B-3 Term Loans or the Extended Term Loans of the applicable Existing
Series shall be increased in proportion to the increase in the principal amount of such Class of
Term Loans resulting therefrom).

     (ii) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond.
Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the
Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify
the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such
Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the Existing Class which it has elected to
convert into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the
Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested
pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to
Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such
Extension Election.

89

 

     (iii) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Credit Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the
penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(f)(iii) and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in Section 14.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than
the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the
Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. In addition to any terms and
changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(f)(i), each Extension Amendment (x) shall
amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Joinder
Agreement with respect to the Existing Class of Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were
converted to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Class in the same proportion
as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension
Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any
individual Term Loan of such Existing Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced
as a result thereof), (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the
final maturity and weighted average life to maturity of New Term Loans incurred following the date
of such Extension Amendment and (z) in the case of any Extension Amendment with respect to Extended
Term Loans of the European Subsidiary Borrower, provide such Extended Term Loans with the benefits
of the European Guarantee and European Security Documents on the same basis as the European-1
Tranche Term Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(f) and
without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 14.1 to any Section 2.14(f)
Additional Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional
amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a
“Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;
provided that such Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendments do not become effective prior to
the time that such Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without
limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of New Term Loans and New Revolving
Credit Commitments provided for in any Joinder Agreement and (2) consents applicable to holders of
any Extended Term Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit
Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14(f) Additional
Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 14.1. It is understood and
agreed that, each Lender that has consented to Amendment No. 3 hereby has consented, and shall at
the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents authorized by this Section 2.14(f) and the arrangements described above in
connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any
Lender to the terms of any Section 2.14(f) Additional Amendment. In connection with any Extension
Amendment, the Parent Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Amendment, the Credit Agreement
as amended thereby, and such of the other Credit Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in
the case of such other Credit Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and
(ii) to the effect that such Extension Amendment, including without limitation, the Extended Term
Loans provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of
Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. Letters of Credit

          3.1. Letters of Credit.

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time
to time prior to the L/C Maturity Date, the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section 3, to issue from time
to time from the Closing Date through the L/C Maturity Date upon the request of, and for the direct
or indirect benefit of, the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, a letter of credit or
letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit” and each, a “Letter of Credit”) in such form as may be
approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion; provided that the
Parent Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and jointly and severally liable with respect to, each
Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount
of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of
Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of
which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at the time of
the issuance thereof to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) no
Letter of Credit in an Alternative Currency shall be issued the Stated Amount of which would cause
the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures at the time of the issuance thereof to exceed the
Multicurrency Sublimit then in effect; (iv) each Letter of Credit, other than the UK Pension Letter
of Credit, shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of
issuance thereof, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit
Issuer, provided that, except in the case of the UK Pension Letter of Credit, in no event
shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date; (v) each Letter of Credit shall
be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency; (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if
it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a
Letter of Credit issued in its favor; and (vii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Letter of
Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from any Credit Party or any Lender stating
that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of
Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party
or parties originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default
in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1.

          (c) Upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable Lenders), the Parent
Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit
Commitment in whole or in part, provided that, after giving effect to such termination or
reduction, the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment.

          (d) The parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters
of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement, without any further action by the Parent Borrower,
the Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person.

91

 

          (e) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of
Credit if:

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

     (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the
Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

     (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit
Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated Amount less than the Dollar Equivalent
of $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $10,000, in the case of a
standby Letter of Credit;

     (iv) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an
Alternative Currency;

     (v) the Letter of Credit Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested
Letter of Credit issue letters of credit in the requested currency;

     (vi) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the
Stated Amount after any drawing there-under; or

     (vii) a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under Section
3.3 exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a
Defaulting Lender here-under,
unless, in each case, the Letter of Credit Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements
with the Parent Borrower or such Revolving Credit Lender to eliminate the Letter of Credit
Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender.

          (f) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit
Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under
the terms hereof.

          (g) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if
(A) the Letter of Credit Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

92

 

          (h) The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith and the Letter
of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative
Agent in Section 13 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of
Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and
Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Section 13 included the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts
or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

          3.2. Letter of Credit Requests.

          (a) Whenever the Parent Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or
amended, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer a Letter of Credit
Request by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least two (or such lesser number as may
be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days prior to
the proposed date of issuance or amendment. Each notice shall be executed by the Parent Borrower
and shall be in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Letter of Credit Request”).

          (b) In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer: (A)
the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day)); (B)
the Stated Amount thereof and the currency thereof (which shall be Dollars or an Alternative
Currency); (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E)
the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full
text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G)
in the case of the UK Pension Letter of Credit, a copy of the proposed form of such Letter of
Credit and (H) such other matters as the Letter of Credit Issuer may reasonably require. In the
case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit
Request shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Letter of Credit Issuer (A) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business
Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Letter of Credit
Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, the Parent Borrower shall furnish to the Letter of
Credit Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such
requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Letter of
Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

          (c) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the Letter of Credit Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Parent Borrower and, if not, the
Letter of Credit Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the
Letter of Credit Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender, the
Administrative Agent or any Credit Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions
contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a
Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary)
or enter into the

93

 

applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Letter of Credit
Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

          (d) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter
of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that
has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided
that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Letter of Credit Issuer to prevent
any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance
of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day
(the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time
such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, the
Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Letter of Credit Issuer for
any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be
deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit the extension
of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Maturity Date;
provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit any such
extension if (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or
would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (b) or (e)
of Section 3.1 or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or
in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date
(1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to
permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Parent Borrower that
one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then
satisfied, and in each such case directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such
extension.

          (e) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the Letter
of Credit Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that
permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any
drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise directed by
the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request
to the Letter of Credit Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of
Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed
to have authorized (but may not require) the Letter of Credit Issuer to reinstate all or a portion
of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the Letter of
Credit Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a
drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days
after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not permit
such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or
before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the
Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have elected not to permit such
reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Sections 6 and 7 are not then
satisfied (treating such reinstatement as the issuance of a Letter of Credit for purposes of this
clause) and, in each case, directing the Letter of Credit Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

94

 

          (f) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit
(including any Existing Letter of Credit) to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the
beneficiary thereof, the Letter of Credit Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. On the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, each Letter of Credit Issuer shall
provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit (including any Existing Letter of
Credit) issued by it that are outstanding at such time.

          (g) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Parent Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and
will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

          3.3. Letter of Credit Participations.

          (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the
Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit
Lender (each such Revolving Credit Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C
Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to
have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C
Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in each Letter of Credit, each substitute
therefor, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Parent Borrower under this
Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto;
provided that the Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C
Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees.

          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer
shall have no obligation relative to the L/C Participants other than to confirm that any documents
required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to
comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted
to be taken by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of
Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

          (c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit
issued by it and the Parent Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the respective
Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each L/C Participant of such failure, and each L/C
Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in immediately
available funds; provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the
Letter of Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions
constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer. If
the

95

 

Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business
Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C Participant
shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer
such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment no
later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such
amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is
paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at a rate per annum
equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time then in effect, plus any administrative, processing
or similar fees customarily charged by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the
foregoing. The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any
payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation
hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit
Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the
date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of
any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C
Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

          (d) Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid
reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the
Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to clause (c)
above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount
originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants)
of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount so paid in respect of such reimbursement obligation and
interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations at the Overnight
Rate.

          (e) The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for
the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and
not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception
whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under
all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Parent
Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any
transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or other Person,

96

 

whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction
between the Parent Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

     (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

     (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of
any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

     (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage of any unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of
Credit Issuer under any such Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

          3.4. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

          (a) The Parent Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making
payment in with respect to any drawing under any Letter of Credit in the same currency in which
such drawing was made unless (A) the Letter of Credit Issuer (at its option) shall have specified
in the notice of drawing that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of
any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Parent Borrower shall have notified the
Letter of Credit Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Parent
Borrower will reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any reimbursement
in Dollars of a drawing of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Letter of
Credit Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the
drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Any such reimbursement shall be made by the
Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for any payment or
disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount so
paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) no later than the date that is one Business Day after
the date on which the Parent Borrower receives notice of such payment or disbursement (the
“Reimbursement Date”), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit
Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Reimbursement
Date, from the Reimbursement Date to the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at
a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR as in effect
from time to time, provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, (i) unless the Parent Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the
relevant Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Reimbursement Date
that the Parent Borrower intends to reimburse the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount
of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to
have given a Notice of Borrowing requesting that, with respect to Letters of Credit, the Revolving
Credit Lenders make Revolving Credit Loans (which shall be denominated in Dollars and which shall
be ABR Loans) on the Reimbursement

97

 

Date in the amount, or Dollar Equivalent of the amount, as applicable, of such
drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such
drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and each L/C
Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Revolving Credit Loan to the Parent Borrower
in Dollars in the manner deemed to have been requested in the amount of its Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such
Reimbursement Date by making the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the
Administrative Agent. Such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum
Borrowing Amount. The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans
solely for purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing. In
the event that the Parent Borrower fails to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit (including,
without limitation, the UK Pension Letter of Credit) that is outstanding on the L/C Maturity Date,
the full amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be
deemed to be an Unpaid Drawing subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 except that
the Letter of Credit Issuer shall hold the proceeds received from the L/C Participants as
contemplated above as cash collateral for such Letter of Credit to reimburse any Drawing under such
Letter of Credit and shall use such proceeds first, to reimburse itself for any Drawings made in
respect of such Letter of Credit following the L/C Maturity Date, second, to the extent such Letter
of Credit expires or is returned undrawn while any such cash collateral remains, to the repayment
of obligations in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans that have not paid at such time and third,
to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in
this Section 3.4(a) shall affect the Parent Borrower’s obligation to repay all outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) The obligations of the Parent Borrower under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the
Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon)
shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any
set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Parent Borrower or any other Person may have
or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including
in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing
under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing and without
regard to any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally,
provided that the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit
Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit
issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence
on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

          3.5. Increased Costs. If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule
or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or actual compliance by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant
with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date (whether or not having the
force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (a) impose,
modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against
letters of credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C

98

 

Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any
L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of
Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s
L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any
Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to
(i) taxes indemnified under Section 5.4, (ii) net income taxes and franchise and excise
taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or Lender and, to the extent not
duplicative, any Taxes imposed on any Agent or Lender where that Tax is imposed upon or calculated
by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or
receivable) by such Agent or Lender or (iii) Taxes included under clause (b) of the
definition of Excluded Taxes) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then,
promptly after receipt of written demand to the Parent Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or
such L/C Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of
Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent (with respect to Letter of Credit
issued on account of the Parent Borrower)), the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of
Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and
agreed, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to
such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or
directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date. A
certificate submitted to the Parent Borrower by the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C
Participant, as the case may be (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Letter
of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Parent
Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.

          3.6. New or Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.

          (a) The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as a Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. The Parent
Borrower may replace the Letter of Credit Issuer for any reason upon written notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer. The Parent Borrower may add Letter of Credit
Issuers at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent. If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall
resign or be replaced, or if the Parent Borrower shall decide to add a new Letter of Credit Issuer
under this Agreement, then the Parent Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor
issuer of Letters of Credit or a new Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, or, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), another
successor or new issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, or such new issuer of Letters of Credit shall be granted the
rights, powers and duties of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, and the term “Letter of Credit
Issuer” shall mean such successor or such new issuer of Letters of Credit effective upon such
appointment. At the time such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Parent
Borrower shall pay to the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid

99

 

fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) and 4.1(d). The acceptance of any
appointment as a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder whether as a successor issuer or new issuer of
Letters of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, shall be evidenced by an agreement entered
into by such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit, in a form satisfactory to the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement,
such new or successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall become a “Letter of Credit Issuer”
hereunder. After the resignation or replacement of a Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the
resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to
have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. In connection with
any resignation or replacement pursuant to this clause (a) (but, in case of any such
resignation, only to the extent that a successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall have been
appointed), either (i) the Parent Borrower, the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and
the successor issuer of Letters of Credit shall arrange to have any outstanding Letters of Credit
issued by the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer replaced with Letters of Credit issued
by the successor issuer of Letters of Credit or (ii) the Parent Borrower shall cause the successor
issuer of Letters of Credit, if such successor issuer is reasonably satisfactory to the replaced or
resigning Letter of Credit Issuer, to issue “back-stop” Letters of Credit naming the resigning or
replaced Letter of Credit Issuer as beneficiary for each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by the
resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer, which new Letters of Credit shall be denominated in
the same currency as, and shall have a face amount equal to, the Letters of Credit being
back-stopped and the sole requirement for drawing on such new Letters of Credit shall be a drawing
on the corresponding back-stopped Letters of Credit. After any resigning or replaced Letter of
Credit Issuer’s resignation or replacement as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this
Agreement relating to a Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it (A) while it was a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (B)
at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

          (b) To the extent that there are, at the time of any resignation or replacement as set forth
in clause (a) above, any outstanding Letters of Credit, nothing herein shall be deemed to
impact or impair any rights and obligations of any of the parties hereto with respect to such
outstanding Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, any obligations related to the
payment of Fees or the reimbursement or funding of amounts drawn), except that the Parent Borrower,
the resigning or replaced Letter of Credit Issuer and the successor issuer of Letters of Credit
shall have the obligations regarding outstanding Letters of Credit described in clause (a)
above.

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

100

 

the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of
Credit or Issuer Document. The Parent Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided
that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Parent Borrower’s pursuing
such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Letter of Credit Issuer
shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.3(e);
provided that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parent Borrower
may have a claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Letter of Credit Issuer may be liable
to the Parent Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Parent Borrower which the Parent Borrower
proves were caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the
Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation
to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.

          3.8. Cash Collateral.

          (a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if the Letter of Credit Issuer has
honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has
resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the L/C Maturity Date, there are any Letters of
Credit Outstanding (including Letters of Credit Outstanding with respect to the UK Pension Letter
of Credit), the Parent Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then
Letters of Credit Outstanding.

          (b) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit
of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against
the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

          (c) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or
Revolving Credit Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total
Letter of Credit Exposure may require that the L/C Obligations be Cash Collateralized.

          (d) For purposes of this Section 3.8, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit
with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in the currencies
in which the Letters of Credit Outstanding are denominated and in an amount equal to the amount of
the Letters of Credit Outstanding required to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to documentation in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the

101

 

Letter of Credit Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives
of such term have corresponding meanings. The Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer and the L/C Participants, a security interest
in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the
Administrative Agent.

          3.9. Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and
the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to
an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of
Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most
recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to
each commercial Letter of Credit.

          3.10. Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof
and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

          3.11. Letters of Credit Issued for Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter
of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the
account of, a Restricted Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter
of Credit Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent
Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Restricted
Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Parent Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s business
derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 4. Fees; Commitments

          4.1. Fees.

          (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account
of each Revolving Credit Lender (in each case pro rata according to the respective Revolving Credit
Commitments of all such Lenders), a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for each day from the
most recent date such fees were paid under the Original Credit Agreement (or if such fees have not
been paid under the Original Credit Agreement, from the most recent date fees have been paid with
respect to such Revolving Credit Commitments became effective) to the Revolving Credit Termination
Date. Except as provided below, each Commitment Fee shall be payable (x) quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (for the three-month period (or
portion thereof) ended on such day for which no payment has been received) and (y) on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date (for the period ended on such date for which no payment has been received
pursuant to clause (x) above), and shall be computed for each day during such period at a
rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day on the Available Commitment
in effect on such day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Applicable Quarter, on
any date during such Applicable Quarter (I) that is prior to the date on which Section 9.1
Financials are due with respect to the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Applicable Quarter
and (II) on which any Commitment Fee is payable on any Available Commitment pursuant to this
subclause (a) (other than pursuant to subclause (y) above) in respect of any period
included in such Applicable

102

 

Quarter, the amount of such Commitment Fee required to be paid on such date in respect
of such Available Commitment and such period (as to any Available Commitment, a “Commitment Fee
Payment”) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Reserve Amount with respect to such Commitment
Fee for such period; provided that, if the amount of any Commitment Fee Payment on any
Available Commitment shall have been reduced during any Applicable Quarter pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, then, on the date (the “Commitment Fee Gross-Up Date”) that is the earlier of
(x) the Applicable Date in respect of such Applicable Quarter and (y) the date on which all
Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated in full, the Parent Borrower shall pay an
additional commitment fee on such Available Commitment in an amount equal to the aggregate of the
Reserve Amounts for such Available Commitment so deducted during such Applicable Quarter unless:

     (1) the Parent Borrower shall have delivered, at least four Business Days prior to such
Commitment Fee Gross-Up Date, Section 9.1 Financials for the fiscal quarter immediately
preceding such Applicable Quarter and

     (2) either:

     (A) such Section 9.1 Financials reveal a change in Status that results in a
decrease in the Commitment Fee Rate, in which case, no payment of any such Reserve
Amounts for such Available Commitment shall be required; or

     (B) such Section 9.1 Financials reveal a change in Status that results in an
increase in the Commitment Fee Rate, in which case, the Parent Borrower shall pay
the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such Available Commitment for such period
as provided above, and shall also pay an additional commitment fee in respect of
such Available Commitment on such Commitment Fee Gross-Up Date in an amount equal to
the amount (if any) by which (I) the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all
Commitment Fees actually paid during such Applicable Quarter in respect of such
Available Commitment for any period included therein plus (y) the aggregate
of the Reserve Amounts for such Available Commitment for such Applicable Quarter is
less than (II) the aggregate amount of Commitment Fees that would have been payable
on such Available Commitment during such Applicable Quarter in respect of any period
included therein if such change of Status had taken effect on the first day of such
Applicable Quarter.

          (b) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account
of the Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Letter of Credit
Exposure, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period
from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the most recent date from which such fee was
paid under the Original Credit Agreement) to the termination date of such Letter of Credit computed
at the per annum rate for each day equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin for Revolving Credit Loans
minus 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit
(provided that in no event shall the payment of Letter of Credit Fees in excess of the
amounts payable pursuant to the last two sentences of this subclause (b) be required).
Except as provided below, such Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date
upon

103

 

which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding
shall have been reduced to zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Applicable
Quarter, on any date during such Applicable Quarter (I) that is prior to the date on which Section
9.1 Financials are due with respect to the fiscal quarter immediately preceding such Applicable
Quarter and (II) on which any Letter of Credit Fee is payable on any Letter of Credit pursuant to
this subclause (b) (other than pursuant to subclause (y) above) in respect of any
period included in such Applicable Quarter, the amount of such Letter of Credit Fee required to be
paid on such date in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period (as to any Letter of Credit,
an “L/C Fee Payment”) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Reserve Amount with respect to
such Letter of Credit Fee for such period; provided that, if the amount of any L/C Fee
Payment on any Letter of Credit shall have been reduced during any Applicable Quarter pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, then, on the date (the “L/C Fee Gross-Up Date”) that is the earlier of
(x) the Applicable Date in respect of such Applicable Quarter and (y) the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, the Parent Borrower shall pay an additional letter of credit fee on such Letter
of Credit in an amount equal to the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such Letter of Credit so
deducted during such Applicable Quarter unless:

     (1) the Parent Borrower shall have delivered, at least four Business Days prior to such
L/C Fee Gross-Up Date, Section 9.1 Financials for the fiscal quarter immediately preceding
such Applicable Quarter and

     (2) either:

     (A) such Section 9.1 Financials reveal a change in Status that results in a
decrease in the Letter of Credit Fee rate with respect to such Letter of Credit, in
which case, in lieu of paying the aggregate of the Reserve Amount for such Letter of
Credit for such period as provided above, the Parent Borrower shall pay on such L/C
Fee Gross-Up Date an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (I) the aggregate amount
of Letter of Credit Fees that would have been payable on such Letter of Credit
during such Applicable Quarter in respect of any period included therein if such
change of Status had taken effect on the first day of such Applicable Quarter over
(II) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Fee payments actually made on such
Letter of Credit during such Applicable Quarter in respect of any period included
therein; or

     (B) such Section 9.1 Financials reveal a change in Status that results in an
increase in the Letter of Credit Fee rate, in which case, the Parent Borrower shall
pay the aggregate of the Reserve Amounts for such Letter of Credit for such period
as provided above, and shall also pay additional letter of credit fees in respect of
such Letter of Credit on such L/C Fee Gross-Up Date in an amount equal to the amount
(if any) by which (I) the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Fees actually paid during such Applicable Quarter in respect of such Letter of
Credit for any period included therein plus (y) the aggregate of the Reserve
Amounts for such Letter of Credit for such Applicable Quarter is less than (II) the
aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Fees that would have been payable on such
Letter of Credit during such Applicable Quarter in respect of any period

104

 

included therein if such change of Status had taken effect on the first day of
such Applicable Quarter.

          (c) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to each Letter of Credit Issuer a fee in Dollars in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Fronting Fee”), for the period from the date of
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or from the date such fee was most recently paid under the
Original Credit Agreement) to the termination date of such Letter of Credit, computed at the rate
for each day equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit.
Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable (x) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of
each March, June, September and December and (y) on the date upon which the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment terminates and the Letters of Credit Outstanding shall have been reduced to zero.

          (d) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Letter of Credit Issuer in Dollars upon
each issuance of, drawing under, and/or amendment of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount
as the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Parent Borrower shall have agreed upon for issuances of,
drawings under or amendments of, letters of credit issued by it.

          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any
amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1.

          4.2. Voluntary Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. Upon at least one Business Day’s
prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly
transmit to each of the Lenders), the Parent Borrower (on behalf of itself) shall have the right,
without premium or penalty, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit
Commitments in whole or in part, provided that (a) any such reduction shall apply to
proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each of the Lenders
except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the establishment on any date of any
Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(ii), the Revolving
Credit Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitments on such date may be reduced in whole or in part on such date (provided that (x)
after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans made
on such date, the Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment thereof (such Revolving Credit Exposure and Revolving Credit Commitment being determined
in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s Replacement Revolving Credit
Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such
repayment of Revolving Credit Loans contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in
compliance with the requirements of Section 5.3(a) with respect to the ratable allocation
of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion
pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(iii) of any Revolving Credit Loans into Replacement Revolving
Credit Loans in connection with the establishment of such Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments)
prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender, (b) any
partial reduction pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be in the amount of at least
$10,000,000 and (c) after giving effect to such termination or reduction and to any prepayments of
the Loans made on the date thereof in accordance

105

 

with this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures
shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

          4.3. Mandatory Termination of Commitments.

          (a) The Swingline Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
Swingline Maturity Date.

          (b) The New Term Loan Commitment for any Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Joinder Agreement, terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Increased Amount
Date for such Series.

SECTION 5. Payments

          5.1. Voluntary Prepayments.

          (a) Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay its Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and
Swingline Loans, in each case, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in clause
(b) of this Section 5.1), in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms
and conditions: (a) such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative
Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to
make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the specific
Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by such Borrower no later than
12:00 noon (New York City time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans denominated in Dollars, three
Business Days prior to, (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, four
Business Days prior to, (iii) in the case of ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans), one Business
Day prior to or (iv) in the case of Swingline Loans, on, the date of such prepayment and shall
promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders or the Swingline Lender,
as the case may be; (b) each partial prepayment of (i) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans denominated in
Dollars shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, (ii) any ABR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000
and in multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) any Loans denominated in Euro shall be in a
minimum amount of €10,000,000 and in multiples of €1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) any Loans
denominated in Sterling shall be in a minimum amount of £5,000,000 and in multiples of £1,000,000
in excess thereof and (v) Swingline Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in multiples
of $100,000 in excess thereof, provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made
pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such
Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount for such LIBOR Loans and
(c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) on any day other than the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Parent
Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any
Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) shall be (a) applied to the Class or Classes of
Term Loans as the Parent Borrower may specify and (b) as to any such Class of Term Loans, applied
to reduce Repayment Amounts thereunder in such order as the Parent Borrower may specify. At the
Parent Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section
5.1(a), such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term Loan or Revolving Credit Loan of a
Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding

106

 

the foregoing, (x) the Parent Borrower may not prepay Replacement Revolving Credit Loans that
have been converted from Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(iii)(a) until
the date on which all Revolving Credit Loans that were outstanding on the date of such conversion
have been prepaid or repaid and (y) the Borrowers may not prepay any Class of Loans set forth below
under the heading “Restricted Prepayment Class” unless either such prepayment is accompanied by a
pro rata prepayment of the Class or Classes of Loans indicated opposite such Class in the table
below under the heading “Corresponding Class(es)“or such corresponding Class or Classes have been
repaid in full:

Loans which was a
“Corresponding Class” for such
Existing Class

          5.2. Mandatory Prepayments.

          (a) Term Loan Prepayments. (i) On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the
applicable Borrower shall, within three Business Days after its receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of
a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and within seven Business Days after the occurrence of any other
Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within seven Business Days after
the Deferred Net Cash Proceeds Payment Date), prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below,
Term Loans with a Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from
such Prepayment Event; provided that, with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an
Asset Sale Prepayment Event, Casualty Event or Permitted Sale Lease-back, in each case solely to the
extent with respect to any U.S. Collateral, the Parent Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds to prepay or repurchase Future Secured Debt with a Lien on the U.S. Collateral ranking
pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations to the extent any applicable Future Secured Debt
Document requires the issuer of such Future Secured Debt to prepay or make an offer to purchase
such Future Secured Debt with the proceeds of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not
to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Future Secured Debt with a Lien on
the U.S. Collateral ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Obligations and with respect to
which such a requirement to prepay or make an offer to purchase exists and the denominator of which
is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such Future Secured Debt and the outstanding
principal amount of Term Loans.

          (ii) Not later than the date that is ninety days after the last day of any fiscal year, the
applicable Borrowers shall prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, Term Loans with a
Dollar Equivalent principal amount equal to (x) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year,
provided that (A) the percentage in this Section 5.2(a)(ii) shall be reduced to 25%
if the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto
and as

107

 

certified by an Authorized Officer of the Parent Borrower) to Consolidated EBITDA for the most
recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date for which Section 9.1 Financials have been
delivered is less than or equal to 5.5 to 1.0 but greater than 5.0 to 1.0 and (B) no payment of any
Term Loans shall be required under this Section 5.2(a)(ii) if the ratio of Consolidated
Total Debt on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto and as certified by an
Authorized Officer of the Parent Borrower) to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Test Period
ended prior to such prepayment date for which Section 9.1 Financials have been delivered is less
than or equal to 5.0 to 1.00, minus (y) the Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Term
Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1 during such fiscal year.

          (b) Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. (i) If on any date the aggregate amount of
the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures (collectively, the “Aggregate Revolving Credit
Outstandings”) for any reason exceeds 100% of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect,
the Parent Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date the principal amount of Swingline Loans and,
after all Swingline Loans have been paid in full, Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such
excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving
Credit Loans, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment then in effect, the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit
Outstanding to the extent of such excess.

     (ii) If on any date the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Multicurrency Exposures (collectively,
the “Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures”) for any reason exceeds 105% of the Multicurrency Sublimit
as then in effect, the Parent Borrower shall forthwith repay on such date Revolving Credit Loans
denominated in Alternative Currencies in a principal amount such that, after giving effect to such
repayment, the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures do not exceed 100% of the Multicurrency Sublimit.
If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies, the Aggregate Multicurrency Exposures exceed 100% of the Multicurrency
Sublimit, the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Letters of Credit Outstanding in respect
of Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies to the extent of such excess.

          (c) Application of Prepayments. Subject to Section 5.2(h),

	 	(I)	 	each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section
5.2(a)(i) or (ii) (other than pursuant to any Debt Incurrence
Prepayment Event) shall be allocated pro rata among the Tranche A-1 Term Loans,
the Tranche A-2 Term Loans, the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, the Tranche B-2 Term
Loans, the Tranche B-3 Term Loans and the European-1 Tranche Term Loans based
on the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due thereunder; and

	 	(II)	 	each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section
5.2(a)(i) with the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Incurrence Prepayment
Event shall be allocated (A) at any time prior to the time that no Tranche A-1
Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans or European-1 Tranche Term Loans are
outstanding, pro rata among the Tranche A-1 Term Loans, the Tranche B-1 Term
Loans and the European-1 Tranche Term Loans based on the applicable remaining
Repayment Amounts due thereunder and (B) from and after

108

 

	 	 	 	the time that no Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans or
European-1 Tranche Term Loans are outstanding, to the Tranche A-2 Term
Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans and Tranche B-3 Term Loans (and, to the extent
provided by any Joinder Agreement or Extension Amendment with respect to any
Class of Term Loans established following the Restatement Effective Date, to
the outstanding Term Loans comprising such Class on a basis such that the
total amount of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to such Class in the
aggregate is not greater than such Class’ pro rata share of the aggregate
amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds (based on the respective total
outstanding principal amounts of all Classes of Term Loans then outstanding
that, pursuant to the applicable Joinder Agreement or Extension Amendment,
are required to be prepaid with a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds)),

and in each case shall be applied (x) in the case of Tranche A-1 Term Loans and Tranche A-2
Term Loans, to reduce the respective Tranche A-1 Repayment Amounts and Tranche A-2 Repayment
Amounts on a pro rata basis and (y) in the case of Tranche B-1 Term Loans, the Tranche B-2
Term Loans, the Tranche B-3 Term Loans and European-1 Tranche Term Loans, as applicable,
first, to the next eight unpaid Repayment Amounts due in respect of such Term Loans in
direct order of maturity thereof, and, second, on a pro rata basis among the remaining
unpaid Repayment Amounts due in respect of such Term Loans. Subject to Section
5.2(h), with respect to each such prepayment, the applicable Borrower will, not later
than the date specified in Section 5.2(a) for making such prepayment, give the
Administrative Agent telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing and which shall
include a calculation of the amount of such prepayment to be applied to each Class of Term
Loans) requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment to each
Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lender, Tranche A-2 Term Loan Lender, Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender,
Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lender, Tranche B-3 Term Loan Lender or European-1 Tranche Term Loan
Lender, as applicable.

          (d) Application to Term Loans. With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required
by Section 5.2(a), the Parent Borrower may, if applicable, designate the Types of Loans
that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. In the absence of a
designation by the Parent Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent
shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no
obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

          (e) Application to Revolving Credit Loans. With respect to each prepayment of
Revolving Credit Loans required by Section 5.2(b), the Parent Borrower may designate (i)
the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and
(ii) the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid, provided that (y) each prepayment of any
Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z)
notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment of Revolving
Credit Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender unless
otherwise agreed in writing by the Parent Borrower. In the absence of a designation by the Parent
Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the
above, make

109

 

such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize
breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

          (f) LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this
Section 5.2 in respect of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the applicable
Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in the applicable
currency equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on
the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by
the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts
of such type. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid,
provided that the applicable Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied
to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

          (g) Minimum Amount. No prepayment shall be required pursuant to Section
5.2(a)(i) (i) in the case of any Disposition yielding Net Cash Proceeds of less than $1,000,000
in the aggregate and (ii) unless and until the amount at any time of Net Cash Proceeds from
Prepayment Events required to be applied at or prior to such time pursuant to such Section and not
yet applied at or prior to such time to prepay Term Loans pursuant to such Section exceeds (x)
$10,000,000 for a single Prepayment Event or (y) $50,000,000 in the aggregate for all Prepayment
Events (other than those which are either under the threshold specified in subclause (i) or
over the threshold specified in subclause (ii)(x)) in any one fiscal year, at which time
all such Net Cash Proceeds referred to in this subclause (y) with respect to such fiscal
year shall be applied as a prepayment in accordance with this Section 5.2.

          (h) Foreign Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section
5.2, (I) until all European-1 Tranche Term Loans have been repaid in full, Net Cash Proceeds of
a Casualty Event or any asset sale by a Restricted Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to an Asset Sale
Prepayment Event (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) shall be allocated first to the European-1 Tranche Term
Loans, and (II) after all European-1 Tranche Term Loans have been repaid in full, and at any time
in the case of any Excess Cash Flow, (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds
from a Foreign Asset Sale or any amount included in Excess Cash Flow and attributable to Foreign
Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United
States, such portion of the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required
to be applied to repay Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans or
Tranche B-3 Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 5.2 but may be retained by the
applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law
will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the
applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions required by the applicable
local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash
Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be
immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not
later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or
reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans, Tranche B-1
Term Loans, Tranche B-2 Term Loans or Tranche B-3 Term Loans as required pursuant to this
Section 5.2 and (ii) to the extent that the

110

 

Parent Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of
any Foreign Asset Sale or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax consequence with
respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so
affected may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in
the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds or
Excess Cash Flow so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or
prepayments pursuant to Section 5.2(a), (x) the Parent Borrower applies an amount equal to
such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash
Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been received by the Parent Borrower rather than such Restricted
Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved
against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net
Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary)
or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a
Restricted Foreign Subsidiary.

          5.3. Method and Place of Payment.

          (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall
be made by the applicable Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, the Letter of Credit
Issuer or the Swingline Lender entitled thereto, as the case may be, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New
York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available
funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent
shall specify for such purpose by notice to the applicable Borrower, it being understood that
written or facsimile notice by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a
payment from the funds in the Parent Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall
constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All
repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder
shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated and all other payments under each
Credit Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Credit Document, be made in Dollars. The
Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was
actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or,
otherwise, on the next Business Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or
Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

          (b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)
shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior
to such extension.

          5.4. Net Payments.

          (a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if

111

 

any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or
withhold any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions or
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the
applicable Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the
applicable Borrower or such Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by any Borrower or Guarantor, as
promptly as possible thereafter, such Borrower or Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent
for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received
by such Borrower or Guarantor showing payment thereof.

          (b) With respect to the European-1 Tranche Term Loan, the Borrower or Guarantor is not
required to make an increased payment or indemnity payment to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender under clauses (a) or (d) of this Section 5.4
for any deduction or withholding or payment for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes where that
Tax is imposed by the United Kingdom from a payment of interest on a Loan if on the date on which
the payment falls due:

     (i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent and the Lender without a deduction or withholding for or an account of
Taxes if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be
a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any Change in Law after the date it became an
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or a Lender under this Agreement or other Credit
Document; or

     (ii) (A) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under subclause
(i)(B) of the definition of Qualifying Lender; and

     (B) the Board of the Inland Revenue has given (and not revoked) a direction (a
“Direction”) under section 349C of the Taxes Act (as that provision has effect on the date
on which the relevant Lender became a Party) which relates to that payment and that Lender
has received from that Borrower or Guarantor a certified copy of that Direction; and

     (C) the payment could have been made to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or
Lender without any deduction or withholding for or on account of the Indemnified Taxes in
the absence of that Direction; or

     (iii) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under subclause (i)(B)
of the definition of Qualifying Lender and it has not, other than by reason of any change
after the Closing Date or other Credit Document in (or in the interpretation,
administration, or application of) any law, or any published practice or concession of any
relevant Governmental Authority, given a Tax Confirmation to a Borrower or Guarantor;

112

 

     (iv) the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Borrower or Guarantor making the
payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to that Lender without
the deduction or withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes had that Lender
complied with its obligations under clause (f) below.

          (c) The Borrowers shall timely pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative
Agent, each Collateral Agent and each Lender (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority) with regard to any Other Taxes.

          (d) Subject to any limitation described in Section 5.4(b), the Borrowers shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within
15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any Guarantor
hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.4) and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth reasonable
detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender,
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (e) Each Non-U.S. Lender with respect to the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, Tranche B-1 Term Loan or
any other Loan made to the Parent Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

     (i) deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either
(x) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax
under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”,
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (together with a certificate representing
that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a
10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the
Parent Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent Borrower
(within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), or (y) Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S.
Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on
payments by the Parent Borrower under this Agreement; and

     (ii) deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of
any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that
any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Parent
Borrower;

113

 

unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery
would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S.
Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S.
Lender promptly so advises the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that
shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 14.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section
14.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the
forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(e), provided that in the
case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the
Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

          (f) Each Lender and Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Treaty Lender and Agent)
that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which any Borrower or Guarantor is organized, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Credit Document
by such Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to such Borrower or Guarantor (with a copy to the
applicable Administrative Agent), as applicable, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law
and as reasonably requested by such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made
without such withholding or at such reduced rate, provided that such Lender or Agent is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and such documentation is
necessary in order for such exemption or reduction to apply.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Credit Document, each
European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lender shall:

     (i) deliver to the European Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement two copies of either (w) in the case of
a European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lender that is able to claim exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of
“portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (together with a
certificate representing that such European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lender is not a bank for
purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning
of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Parent Borrower or the European Subsidiary
Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent Borrower or the
European Subsidiary Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), (x) in
the case of a European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lender that would be entitled to a complete
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest under an
applicable income tax treaty with the United States, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
claiming such complete exemption, (y) in the case of a European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lender
that would be entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with
respect to payments of interest because such payments are effectively connected with such
Lender’s conduct of a United States trade or business, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or (z) in the case of a European-1 Tranche Term Loan Lender that is a United States person
under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or
substitute or successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed; and

114

 

     (ii) deliver to the European Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent two
further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or
before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after
the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered
by it to the European Subsidiary Borrower unless such Lender is no longer legally entitled
to provide such form due to a Change in Law after the Lender became a Lender;

          (h) If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable,
determines, in its sole discretion, that it had received and retained a refund of an Indemnified
Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement,
which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by such Borrower, then the Lender,
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse such Borrower
for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as the Lender, Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion to be the proportion
of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking
into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment
had not been required; provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to
the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. A Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall claim any refund that
it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be
adversely affected by making such a claim. Neither the Lender, the Administrative Agent nor the
Collateral Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or
computations to any Credit Party in connection with this clause (h) or any other provision
of this Section 5.4.

          (i) If the Parent Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax,
each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Borrowers as the Parent Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.12, each Lender and Agent agree to use reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the Borrowers as the Parent Borrower may reasonably request to minimize any amount
payable by any Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.4. The Borrowers shall
indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
such Person in connection with any request made by Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section
5.4(h). Nothing in this Section 5.4(i) shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any
action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to
such Person.

          (j) Each Lender and Agent with respect to the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, Tranche A-2 Term Loan,
Tranche B-1 Term Loan, Tranche B-2 Term Loan or Tranche B-3 Term Loan and any other Loan made to
the Parent Borrower that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, at
the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two United

115

 

States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed
and duly executed, certifying that such Lender or Agent is exempt from United States backup
withholding; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver such forms
shall not subject any Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators
described in Treasury Regulation 1.6049-4(c)(i)(ii) to backup withholding.

          (k) Any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document by a Borrower or a
Guarantor is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature which might be
chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Borrower or
Guarantor, as the case may be, must pay to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender, as
the case may be, (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the
amount of that Tax.

          (l) Where this Agreement or any other Credit Document requires any party to this Agreement or
any Credit Document, as the case may be, to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or a Lender for any costs or expenses, that party must also at the same time pay and
indemnify the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or Lender, as the case may be against all
value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or a Lender in respect of the costs and expenses to the extent that the
Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender acting reasonably determines that it is not
entitled to a credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that tax.

          (m) The Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or a Lender, in each case, who is a Qualifying
Lender solely under sub-paragraph (i)(B) of the definition of Qualifying Lender on the day on which
this Agreement or any other Credit Document, as the case may be, is entered into gives a Tax
Confirmation to the European Subsidiary Borrower and Guarantors by entering into this Agreement or
any other Credit Document, as the case may be.

          (n) The agreements in this Section 5.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          5.5. Computations of Interest and Fees.

          (a) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans
shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on ABR
Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Administrative
Agent’s prime rate, interest on LIBOR Loans denominated in Sterling and interest on overdue
interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the
actual days elapsed.

          (b) Fees and the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

          5.6. Limit on Rate of Interest.

          (a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under

116

 

or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations in excess of
the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

          (b) Payment at Highest Lawful Rate. If any Borrower is not obliged to make a payment
that it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), such Borrower
shall make such payment to the maximum extent permitted by or consistent with applicable laws,
rules and regulations.

          (c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Borrower to make any payment of interest or
other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by
any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate
shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of
interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law, such adjustment to be effected,
to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such
Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated
thereby, if any Lender shall have received from any Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum
permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such Borrower shall be entitled, by
notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount
equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount
payable by that Lender to such Borrower.

          SECTION 6. Conditions Precedent to Restatement Effective Date

          6.1. Restatement Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts to

Letters of Credit (it being understood that the following representations and warranties shall be
deemed made with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary only to the extent relevant under applicable
law):

          8.1. Corporate Status. Each Borrower and each Material Subsidiary (a) is a duly organized
and validly existing corporation or other entity in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate or other organizational power and authority
to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and (b) has duly
qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing (if applicable) in all
jurisdictions where it is required to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.2. Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other
organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of
the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate or other
organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documents

which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

          8.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of
the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof
nor the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will
(a) contravene any applicable provision of any material law, statute, rule, regulation, order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (b) result in any breach
of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any
of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
Liens created under the Credit Documents or Liens subject to the Intercreditor Agreements) pursuant
to, the terms of any material indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust,
agreement or other material instrument to which such Credit Party or

119

 

any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets
is bound (any such term, covenant, condition or provision, a “Contractual Requirement”) or (c)
violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational
documents of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries.

          8.4. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.4 of the Original Credit
Agreement, there are no actions, suits or proceedings (including Environmental Claims) pending or,
to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened with respect to the Parent Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.5. Margin Regulations. Neither the making of any Loan hereunder nor the use of the
proceeds thereof will violate the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the
Board.

          8.6. Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of the Acquisition
Agreement or any Credit Document do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing
with, or other action by, any Governmental Authority, except for (i) such as have been obtained or
made and are in full force and effect, (ii) filings and recordings in respect of the Liens created
pursuant to the Security Documents and (iii) such licenses, approvals, authorizations or consents
the failure to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.7. Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an “investment company” within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          8.8. True and Complete Disclosure.

     None of the written factual information and written data (taken as a whole) heretofore or
contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any of
their respective authorized representatives to the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger,
and/or any Lender on or before the Closing Date (including all such information and data contained
in (i) the Confidential Information Memorandum (as updated prior to the Closing Date) and (ii) the
Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction
contemplated herein contained any untrue statement of any material fact or omitted to state any
material fact necessary to make such information and data (taken as a whole) not misleading at such
time in light of the circumstances under which such information or data was furnished, it being
understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 8.8, such factual information and
data shall not include projections (including financial estimates, forecasts and other
forward-looking information) and information of a general economic or general industry nature.

          8.9. Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) The unaudited historical consolidated
financial information of HCA as set forth in the Confidential Information Memorandum, and (b) the
Historical Financial Statements, in each case present fairly in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of HCA at the respective dates of said information, statements and
results of operations for the respective periods covered thereby. The financial statements
referred to in clause (b) of this Section 8.9 have been prepared in accordance with

120

 

GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial
statements. There has been no Material Adverse Effect since December 31, 2010.

          8.10. Tax Matters. Each of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries has filed all federal
income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed
by it and all such tax returns are true and correct in all material respects and has paid all
material taxes payable by it that have become due, other than those (a) not yet delinquent or (b)
contested in good faith as to which adequate reserves have been provided to the extent required by
law and in accordance with GAAP and which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries have paid, or have provided adequate
reserves to the extent required by law and in accordance with GAAP for the payment of, all material
federal, state, provincial and foreign taxes applicable for the current fiscal year to the Closing
Date.

          8.11. Compliance with ERISA.

          (a) Each Plan is in compliance with ERISA, the Code and any applicable Requirement of Law; no
Reportable Event has occurred (or is reasonably likely to occur) with respect to any Plan; no Plan
is insolvent or in reorganization (or is reasonably likely to be insolvent or in reorganization),
and no written notice of any such insolvency or reorganization has been given to the Parent
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate; no Plan (other than a multiemployer plan) has an accumulated or
waived funding deficiency (or is reasonably likely to have such a deficiency); none of the Parent
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred (or is reasonably likely to incur) any liability to or
on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or
4204 of ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 of the Code or has been notified in writing that it will
incur any liability under any of the foregoing Sections with respect to any Plan; no proceedings
have been instituted (or are reasonably likely to be instituted) to terminate or to reorganize any
Plan or to appoint a trustee to administer any Plan, and no written notice of any such proceedings
has been given to the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate; and no lien imposed under the Code or
ERISA on the assets of the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate exists (or is reasonably likely
to exist) nor has the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate been notified in writing that such a
lien will be imposed on the assets of the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate on account of any
Plan, except to the extent that a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements in
this Section 8.11(a) would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in an amount of
liability that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) has an Unfunded Current Liability that would, individually or when taken
together with any other liabilities referenced in this Section 8.11(a), be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to Plans that are multiemployer plans (as
defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA), the representations and warranties in this Section
8.11(a), other than any made with respect to (i) liability under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA
or (ii) liability for termination or reorganization of such Plans under ERISA, are made to the best
knowledge of each Borrower.

          (b) All Foreign Plans are in compliance with, and have been established, administered and
operated in accordance with, the terms of such Foreign Plans and applicable law, except for any
failure to so comply, establish, administer or operate the Foreign Plans as would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions or other payments

121

 

which are due with respect to each Foreign Plan have been made in full and there are no
funding deficiencies thereunder, except to the extent any such events would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          8.12. Subsidiaries.

          Schedule 8.12 of the Original Credit Agreement lists each Subsidiary of the Parent
Borrower (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Parent Borrower therein), in each
case existing on the Closing Date. Each Material Subsidiary (under clause (i) of the
definition thereof) and each 1993 Indenture Restricted Subsidiary as of the Closing Date has been
so designated on Schedule 8.12 of the Original Credit Agreement.

          8.13. Intellectual Property. The Parent Borrower and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries
have obtained all intellectual property, free from burdensome restrictions, that are necessary for
the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted and as proposed to be

Parent Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries and all Real Estate are in compliance with all

released or disposed or arranged for disposal or transport for disposal of Hazardous Materials at,
on, under or from any currently or formerly owned or leased Real Estate or facility in a manner

          8.15. Properties.

          (a) The Parent Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to or
leasehold interests in all properties that are necessary for the operation of their respective
businesses as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, free and clear of all Liens
(other than any Liens permitted by this Agreement) and except where the failure to have such good
title could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) no Mortgage
encumbers improved Real Estate that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such Act has been

SEC or any analogous Governmental Authority in any relevant jurisdiction by the Parent

the extent such registration statement, in the form it becomes effective, is delivered to
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent), exhibits to any registration statement and, if
applicable, any registration statements on Form S-8) and copies of all financial statements,

their capacity as such holders, lenders or agents (in each case to the extent not
theretofore delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Agreement) and, with reasonable promptness, such other information (financial or otherwise)
as the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent) may reasonably request in writing from time to time.

registered (or for which an application to register such items has been filed) with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office (or any
successor to either such office) acquired by any U.S. Credit Party following the Closing
Date (or following the date of the last supplement provided to the Collateral Agent pursuant
to this Section 9.1(j)), all in reasonable detail.

     (k) Change of Name, Locations, Etc. Not later than 60 days following the
occurrence of any change referred to in subclauses (i) through (iv) below,

sentence of this clause (k).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations in clauses (a) and (b) of this
Section 9.1 may be satisfied with respect to financial information of the Parent Borrower
and the Restricted Subsidiaries by furnishing (A) the applicable financial statements of any direct
or indirect parent of the Parent Borrower or (B) the Parent Borrower’s (or any direct or indirect
parent thereof), as applicable, Form 10-K or 10-Q, as applicable, filed with the SEC;
provided that, with respect to each of subclauses (A) and (B) of this
paragraph, to the extent such information relates to a parent of the Parent Borrower, such
information is accompanied by consolidating or other information that explains in reasonable detail
the differences between the information relating to

126

 

such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Parent Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

          9.2. Books, Records and Inspections. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each
Restricted Subsidiary to, permit officers and designated representatives of the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders to visit and inspect any of the properties or assets of the Parent
Borrower and any such Subsidiary in whomsoever’s possession to the extent that it is within such
party’s control to permit such inspection, and to examine the books and records of the Parent
Borrower and any such Subsidiary and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Parent
Borrower and of any such Subsidiary with, and be advised as to the same by, its and their officers
and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable
extent as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may desire (and subject, in the case of
any such meetings or advice from such independent accountants, to such accountants’ customary
policies and procedures); provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during
the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Required
Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this
Section 9.2 and only one such visit shall be at the Parent Borrower’s expense;
provided further that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of
the foregoing at the expense of the Parent Borrower at any time during normal business hours and
upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Parent
Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Parent Borrower’s independent
public accountants. During the course of the above described visits, inspections and examinations
and discussions, representatives of the Agents and the Lenders may encounter individually
identifiable healthcare information as defined under the Administrative Simplification (including
privacy and security) regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (collectively “HIPAA”) or other confidential information
relating to health care patients (collectively, the “Confidential Healthcare Information”). The
Parent Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary maintaining such Confidential Healthcare Information
shall, consistent with HIPAA’s “minimum necessary” provisions, permit such disclosures for their
“healthcare operations” purposes. Unless otherwise required by law, the Agents, the Lenders and
their respective representatives shall not require or perform any act that would cause the Parent
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to violate any laws, regulations or ordinances intended to
protect the privacy rights of healthcare patients, including, without limitation, HIPAA.

          9.3. Maintenance of Insurance. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each Material
Subsidiary to, at all times maintain in full force and effect, pursuant to self-insurance
arrangements or with insurance companies that the Parent Borrower believes (in the good faith
judgment of the management of the Parent Borrower) are financially sound and responsible at the
time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least such amounts and against at
least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as are usually insured against in the same general
area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business; and will furnish to the Lenders, upon
written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the
insurance so carried.

          9.4. Payment of Taxes. The Parent Borrower will pay and discharge, and will cause each of
the Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all material taxes, assessments and

127

 

governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any
properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all
lawful material claims in respect of any Taxes imposed, assessed or levied that, if unpaid, could
reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any properties of the Parent Borrower or any
of the Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that neither the Parent Borrower, nor any of the
Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim that is being
contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves with
respect thereto to the extent required by law and in accordance with GAAP and the failure to pay
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          9.5. Consolidated Corporate Franchises. The Parent Borrower will do, and will cause each
Material Subsidiary to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its existence, corporate rights and authority, except to the extent that the
failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
provided, however, that the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries may consummate any
transaction permitted under Section 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5.

          9.6.
Compliance with Statutes, Regulations, Etc. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause
each Subsidiary to, comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to it
or its property, including all governmental approvals or authorizations required to conduct its
business, and to maintain all such governmental approvals or authorizations in full force and
effect, in each case except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          9.7. ERISA. Promptly after the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate knows or has reason
to know of the occurrence of any of the following events that, individually or in the aggregate
(including in the aggregate such events previously disclosed or exempt from disclosure hereunder,
to the extent the liability therefor remains outstanding), would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect, the Parent Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent and each of
the Lenders a certificate of an Authorized Officer or any other senior officer of the Parent
Borrower setting forth details as to such occurrence and the action, if any, that the Parent
Borrower or such ERISA Affiliate is required or proposes to take, together with any notices
(required, proposed or otherwise) given to or filed with or by the Parent Borrower such ERISA
Affiliate, the PBGC, a Plan participant (other than notices relating to an individual participant’s
benefits) or the Plan administrator with respect thereto: that a Reportable Event has occurred;
that an accumulated funding deficiency has been incurred or an application is to be made to the
Secretary of the Treasury for a waiver or modification of the minimum funding standard (including
any required installment payments) or an extension of any amortization period under Section 412 of
the Code with respect to a Plan; that a Plan having an Unfunded Current Liability has been or is to
be terminated, reorganized, partitioned or declared insolvent under Title IV of ERISA (including
the giving of written notice thereof); that a Plan has an Unfunded Current Liability that has or
will result in a lien under ERISA or the Code; that proceedings will be or have been instituted to
terminate a Plan having an Unfunded Current Liability (including the giving of written notice
thereof); that a proceeding has been instituted against the Parent Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate
pursuant to Section 515 of ERISA to collect a delinquent contribution to a Plan; that the PBGC has
notified the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of its intention to appoint a trustee to
administer any Plan; that the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate

128

 

has failed to make a required
installment or other payment pursuant to Section 412 of the Code with respect to a Plan; or that
the Parent Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate  has incurred or will incur (or has been notified in
writing that it will incur) any liability (including any contingent or secondary liability) to or
on account of a Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or
4204 of ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 of the Code.

          9.8. Maintenance of Properties. The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of its business
in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except to the extent that the
failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          9.9. Transactions with Affiliates. The Parent Borrower will conduct, and cause each of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions with any of its Affiliates (other than the
Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) on terms that are substantially as favorable to
the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary as it would obtain in a comparable arm’s-length
transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate, provided that the foregoing
restrictions shall not apply to (a) the payment of customary fees to the Sponsors for management,
consulting and financial services rendered to the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries and
customary investment banking fees paid to the Sponsors for services rendered to the Parent Borrower
and the Subsidiaries in connection with divestitures, acquisitions, financings and other
transactions, (b) transactions permitted by Section 10.6, (c) the payment of the
Transaction Expenses, (d) the issuance of Stock or Stock Equivalents of Hercules Holdings or

clause (f) of this Section 9.9, (e) loans, advances and other transactions between
or among the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any joint venture (regardless of the form of legal
entity) in which the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary has invested (and which Subsidiary or joint
venture would not be an Affiliate of the Parent Borrower but for the Parent Borrower’s or a
Subsidiary’s ownership of Stock or Stock Equivalents in such joint venture or Subsidiary) to the
extent permitted under Section 10, (f) employment and severance arrangements between the
Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees in the ordinary
course of business, (g) payments by the Parent Borrower (and any direct or indirect parent thereof)
and the Subsidiaries pursuant to the tax sharing agreements among the Parent Borrower (and any such
parent) and the Subsidiaries on customary terms to the extent attributable to the ownership or
operation of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the
amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Parent Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries would be required to pay in respect of federal, state and local taxes
for such fiscal year were the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent
described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent entity, (h) the payment of
customary fees and reasonable out of pocket costs to, and indemnities provided on behalf of,
directors, managers, consultants, officers and employees of the Parent Borrower and the
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business to the extent attributable to the ownership or
operation of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries, and (i) transactions pursuant to permitted
agreements in existence on the Closing Date and set forth on Schedule 9.9 of the Original
Credit Agreement or any amendment thereto to the extent such an amendment is not adverse, taken as
a whole, to the Lenders in any material respect. The Parent Borrower will not permit any
Consolidated Person to engage in any transaction with any Sponsor or any Frist Shareholder (or any
controlling Affiliate of any

129

 

Sponsor or Frist Shareholder), to the extent that such Consolidated Person would be prohibited from
engaging in such transaction if it was a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Section
9.9.

          9.10. End of Fiscal Years; Fiscal Quarters. The Parent Borrower will, for financial
reporting purposes, cause (a) each of its, and each of its Subsidiaries’, fiscal years to end on
December 31 of each year and (b) each of its, and each of its Subsidiaries’, fiscal quarters to end
on dates consistent with such fiscal year-end and the Parent Borrower’s past practice;
provided, however, that the Parent Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative
Agent change the financial reporting convention specified above to any other financial reporting
convention reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in which case the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent will, and are hereby authorized by the Lenders to, make any adjustments to
this Agreement that are necessary in order to reflect such change in financial reporting.

          9.11. Additional Guarantors and Grantors. Except as otherwise provided in Section
10.1(j) or 10.1(k) and subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Security
Documents, the Parent Borrower will cause each direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary or European
Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary or Excluded European Subsidiary) formed or otherwise
purchased or acquired after the Closing Date (including pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition) and
each other Domestic Subsidiary or European Subsidiary that ceases to constitute an Excluded
Subsidiary or Excluded European Subsidiary, respectively, to execute a supplement, in the case of
any Domestic Subsidiary, to each of the U.S. Guarantee, the U.S. Pledge Agreement and the U.S.
Security Agreement and, in the case of any European Subsidiary, to the European Guarantee and
European Security Agreement in order to become a Guarantor under the applicable Guarantee and a
grantor under such Security Documents or, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent, enter into a new Security Document substantially consistent with the analogous existing
Security Documents and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Collateral
Agent and take all other action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to grant a perfected
security interest in its assets to substantially the same extent as created by the domestic or
foreign Credit Parties, as applicable, on the Closing Date (including actions required pursuant to
Section 9.14(e)).

          9.12. Pledge of Additional Stock and Evidence of Indebtedness.

          (a) The Parent Borrower will cause (i) all certificates representing Stock and Stock
Equivalents of any Subsidiary (other than (x) any Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents;
provided that Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents of the type specified in clause
(iii) of the definition thereof shall not be excluded pursuant to this subclause (x)
insofar as the pledge thereof pursuant to the U.S. Pledge Agreement is given in respect of the
European Obligations and (y) any Stock and Stock Equivalents issued by any Subsidiary for so long
as such Subsidiary does not (on a consolidated basis with its Restricted Subsidiaries) have
property, plant and equipment with a book value in excess of $5,000,000 or a contribution to
Consolidated EBITDA for any four fiscal quarter period that includes any date on or after the
Closing Date in excess of $5,000,000) held directly by the Parent Borrower or any U.S. Guarantor,
(ii) all evidences of Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 received by the Parent Borrower or any
of the U.S. Guarantors in connection with any disposition of assets pursuant to Section
10.4(b) and (iii) any promissory notes executed after the Closing Date evidencing Indebtedness
in excess of $10,000,000 of

130

 

the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary that is owing to the Parent Borrower or any U.S. Guarantor,
in each case, to be delivered to the Collateral Agent as security for the Obligations or the
European Obligations, as applicable, under the U.S. Pledge Agreement. The Borrowers will cause (i)
all certificates representing Stock and Stock Equivalents of any Subsidiary (other than (A) any
Excluded Stock and Stock Equivalents and (B) Stock and Stock Equivalents issued by any Subsidiary
for so long as such Subsidiary does not (on a consolidated basis with its Restricted Subsidiaries),
have property, plant and equipment with a book value in excess of $5,000,000 or a contribution to
Consolidated EBITDA for any four fiscal quarter period that includes any date on or after the
Closing Date in excess of $5,000,000) formed, purchased or otherwise acquired after the Closing
Date and held directly by the European Borrower or any European Guarantor, (ii) all evidences of
Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 received by the European Subsidiary Borrower or any of the
European Guarantors in connection with any disposition of assets pursuant to Section
10.4(b) and (iii) any promissory notes executed after the Closing Date evidencing Indebtedness
in excess of $10,000,000 of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary that is owing to the European
Subsidiary Borrower or any European Guarantor, in each case, to be delivered to the Collateral
Agent solely as security for the European Obligations pursuant to the applicable European Security
Agreement.

          (b) The Parent Borrower agrees that all Indebtedness in excess of $10,000,000 of any
Borrower or any Subsidiary that is owing to any Credit Party shall be evidenced by one or more
promissory notes.

          9.13. Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers will use Letters of Credit and Loans hereunder for
general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions).

          9.14. Further Assurances.

          (a) The Parent Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, execute any and
all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further
actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages,
deeds of trust and other documents) that may be required under any applicable law, or that the
Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve,
protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be
created by the applicable Security Documents, all at the expense of the Parent Borrower and the
Restricted Subsidiaries.

          (b) Except with respect to which, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent
(confirmed in writing by written notice to the Parent Borrower), the cost or other consequences
(including any tax consequence) of doing so shall be excessive in view of the benefits to be
obtained by the Lenders therefrom and subject to applicable limitations set forth in the Security
Documents, (i) if any assets (including any real estate or improvements thereto or any interest
therein but excluding (x) any Principal Properties and (y) Stock and Stock Equivalents of any
Subsidiary) with a book value or fair market value in excess of $10,000,000 are acquired by the
Parent Borrower or any other Credit Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting
Collateral under a Security Document that become subject to the Lien of the applicable Security
Document upon acquisition thereof; provided that this exception shall not apply in respect
of freehold or leasehold properties in England and Wales) that are of a nature secured by

131

 

a Security Document and (ii) upon the 1993 Indenture ceasing to be in effect pursuant to a
satisfaction and discharge or a defeasance thereof in accordance with its terms with respect to all
Retained Indebtedness, the Parent Borrower will notify the Collateral Agent, and, if requested by
the Collateral Agent, the Parent Borrower will cause such assets (including in the case of
clause (ii) only, Principal Properties) to be subjected to a Lien securing the applicable
Obligations and will take, and cause the other applicable Credit Parties to take, such actions as
shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to grant and perfect such Liens
consistent with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described
in clause (a) of this Section 9.14, and, in respect of freehold or leasehold
property in England and Wales, the Parent Borrower will cause the applicable European Credit
Parties to execute and deliver, to the Collateral Agent a legal mortgage in favor of the Collateral
Agent of that property in any form (consistent with the European Security Agreement) which the
Collateral Agent may reasonably require but in any event on terms no more onerous than the European
Security Agreement, all at the expense of the applicable Credit Parties.

          (c) (i) If any Principal Properties Certificate required to be delivered hereunder
demonstrates that the Principal Properties Secured Amount does not exceed the product of (x) the
Principal Properties Permitted Amount multiplied by (y) 1.8 or (ii) if as a result of any
Disposition of a Principal Property that is subject to a Mortgage either (A) the Principal Property
Secured Amount does not exceed the product of (x) the Principal Properties Permitted Amount
multiplied by (y) 2 or (B) there would be fewer than 12 Principal Properties subject to
Mortgages, then the Parent Borrower shall promptly cause additional Principal Properties of U.S.
Guarantors mutually selected by the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower having a fair
market value (as reasonably and in good faith determined by the Parent Borrower using a multiple of
five (5) times EBITDA of such Principal Properties for the most recent four fiscal quarter period
for which Section 9.1 Financials have been delivered) that would result, after giving effect to the
Mortgage thereof, in the Principal Properties Secured Amount being at least two (2) times the
Principal Properties Permitted Amount, to be subject to a Mortgage securing the Obligations and
shall take actions to perfect such Liens and to deliver title insurance, Surveys and an opinion of
local counsel, all consistent with such actions taken with respect to Principal Properties
mortgaged in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (e) below.

          (d) Any Mortgage delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the preceding
clause (b) or clause (c) shall be accompanied by (i) in the case of a Mortgage of
property in the United States of America (x) a policy or policies (or an unconditional binding
commitment therefor) of title insurance issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company
insuring the Lien of each Mortgage as a valid Lien (with the priority described therein) on the
Mortgaged Property described therein, free of any other Liens except as expressly permitted by
Section 10.2, together with such endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (y) an opinion of local counsel to the mortgagor in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage
of property in England and Wales (x) a report of title in a form reasonably acceptable to the
Collateral Agent and from a firm of solicitors reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and
(y) a legal opinion from a firm of solicitors reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

132

 

          (e) The Parent Borrower agrees that it will, or will cause its relevant Subsidiaries to,
complete each of the actions described on Schedule 9.14(e) as soon as commercially
reasonable and by no later than the date set forth in Schedule 9.14(e) with respect to such
action or such later date as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree.

          (f) No later than 90 days following the Restatement Effective Date, the Parent Borrower
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent the following:

     (i) an amendment to each Mortgage (each, a “Mortgage Amendment”) to which a
U.S. Credit Party is then party (except to the extent the Administrative Agent determines
such amendment is not required) duly executed and acknowledged by the applicable U.S. Credit
Party, and in form for recording in the recording office where the respective Mortgage was
recorded, together with such certificates, affidavits, questionnaires or returns as shall be
required in connection with the recording or filing thereof under applicable law, in each
case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

     (ii) executed legal opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, with respect to such amended Mortgages; and

     (iii) with respect to each amended Mortgage (i) a title search of the relevant
Mortgaged Property confirming that there are no Liens of record in violation of the
provisions of the applicable Mortgage and (ii) to the extent available in the relevant
jurisdiction at commercially reasonable rates, a date-down or modification endorsement to
the policy or policies of title insurance insuring the Lien of each Mortgage, issued by a
nationally recognized title insurance company (x) insuring that such Mortgage, as amended by
such Mortgage Amendment is a valid and enforceable first priority lien on such Mortgaged
Property in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties free and
clear of all Liens except as expressly permitted by Section 10.2 hereof or consented to by
the Administrative Agent (y) otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and (z) having the effect of a valid, issued and binding endorsement to
the respective title insurance policy.

          (g) The Parent Borrower agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the preferred Stock of Healthtrust that is owned by Columbia—SDH and Epic Properties to be redeemed
or otherwise transferred to Healthtrust or the Parent Borrower as promptly as reasonably
practicable following the Closing Date; provided that the Parent Borrower shall not be
required to take any action pursuant to this clause (f) to the extent that it determines
that any such redemption or transfer is reasonably likely to result in material adverse tax
consequences to the Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary.

          SECTION 10. Negative Covenants

          The Parent Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that on the Closing Date (immediately after

and (z) intercompany Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries, and any Guarantee Obligations

them on the date of any distribution and (y) sufficient to Cash Collateralize all Letters of

or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct;

provided that (x) no amount received from any European Credit Party or on account of any
Collateral that is solely Collateral for the European Obligations shall be applied pursuant to
clauses

160

 

(i) or (ii) of this paragraph to the extent such amounts do not constitute European
Obligations and (y) any amount applied to Cash Collateralize any Letters of Credit Outstanding that
has not been applied to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for Unpaid Drawings under the
applicable Letters of Credit at the time of expiration of all such Letters of Credit shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent in the order specified in clauses (i) through
(iii) above.

          SECTION 12. Investors’ Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 11.3(a), in the event that the Parent Borrower fails to comply with the requirement
of the covenants set forth in Section 10.8, until the expiration of the tenth day after the
date on which Section 9.1 Financials with respect to the Test Period in which the covenant set
forth in such Section is being measured are required to be delivered pursuant to Section
9.1, any of the Investors shall have the right to make a direct or indirect equity investment
in the Parent Borrower in cash (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Parent Borrower of
net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (including through the capital
contribution of any such net cash proceeds to such person, the “Cure Amount”), the covenant set
forth in such Section shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated
EBITDA for such Test Period in an amount equal to such net cash proceeds; provided that
such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of
determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the covenant set forth in such
Section with respect to any Test Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Right
was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Credit Document.

          If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a)
above, the Parent Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set
forth in Section 10.8 during such Test Period (including for purposes of Section
7.1), the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenant
as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure
to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section
11.3 that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that (i) in each Test Period
there shall be at least one fiscal quarter in which no Cure Right is exercised and (ii) with
respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount
required to cause the Parent Borrower to be in compliance with the covenant set forth in
Section 10.8.

be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other
Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as
it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against
any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future
holders of the Loans.

          13.5. Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder
unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a
notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except
to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the
Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

          13.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any
other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Letter of
Credit Issuer. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer represents to
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other

163

 

Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower, Guarantor and other Credit Party and made its own
decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or
any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it
deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party. Except
for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or
creditworthiness of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

          13.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective
portions of the Total Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or,
if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and
the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the
Total Credit Exposure in effect immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the
payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or
the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any
of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing,
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 13.7 shall survive the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          13.8. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with any Borrower, any Guarantor, and any other Credit Party as though the Administrative Agent
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to
the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity.

164

 

          13.9. Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any
time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Parent
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, subject to the reasonable consent of the Parent Borrower so long as no Default under
Section 11.1 or 11.5 is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a
successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the retiring
Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and
under the other Credit Documents (except in the case of the Collateral Agent holding collateral
security on behalf of any Secured Parties, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold
such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed)
and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such
Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer directly, until
such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent,
as the case may be, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrowers (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower
and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit
Documents, the provisions of this Section 13 (including Section 13.7) and
Section 14.5 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 the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent.

          Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of
a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Letter of
Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender
shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the
other Credit Documents, and (c) the successor Letter of Credit Issuer shall issue letters of credit
in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer to effectively assume
the obligations of the retiring Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

          13.10. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative
Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable
withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United

165

 

States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly
withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form
was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction
of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed
by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) fully for all
amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including
penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated
staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

          SECTION 14. Miscellaneous

          14.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 14.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of
the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, from time to time,
(a) enter into with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or
modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to
this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or
of the Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the
Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may

or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no
such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall directly (i) forgive or reduce
any portion of any Loan or extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or reduce the
stated rate (it being understood that any change to the definition of Consolidated Total Debt to
Consolidated EBITDA Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction
in the rate and only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation
of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive
any portion, or extend the date for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other
than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates or any
amendment contemplated by Section 1.7), or extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s
Commitment or extend the final expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the L/C Maturity
Date, or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, or amend or modify any
provisions of Section 5.3(a) (with respect to the ratable allocation of any payments only)
and 14.8(a) and 14.20, or make any Loan, interest, Fee or other amount payable in
any currency other than expressly provided herein, in each case without the written consent of each
Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of
this Section 14.1 or reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms
“Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Required European-1 Tranche Term Loan
Lenders”, “Required Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lenders”, “Required Tranche A-2 Term Loan Lenders”,
“Required Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lenders”, “Required Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lenders” or “Required
Tranche B-3 Term Loan Lenders”, consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of its rights
and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a party (except as permitted pursuant to
Section 10.3) or alter the order of application set forth in the final paragraph of
Section 11, in each case without the written consent

166

 

of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend, modify or waive
any provision of Section 13 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative
Agent and Collateral Agent, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 with
respect to any Letter of Credit without the written consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer, or (v)
amend, modify or waive any provisions hereof relating to Swingline Loans without the written
consent of the Swingline Lender, or (vi) change any Revolving Credit Commitment to a New Term Loan
Commitment, or change any New Term Loan Commitment to a Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case
without the prior written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (vii)
release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantees (except as expressly
permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement) or release all or substantially all of the
Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Security Documents or
this Agreement) without the prior written consent of each Lender, or (viii) amend Section
2.9 so as to permit Interest Period intervals greater than six months without regard to
availability to Lenders, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby, or (ix) decrease any Tranche A-1 Repayment Amount, extend any scheduled Tranche A-1
Repayment Date or decrease the amount or allocation of any mandatory prepayment to be received by
any Tranche A-1 Term Loan Lender, in each case without the written consent of the Required Tranche
A-1 Term Loan Lenders, (x) decrease any Tranche A-2 Repayment Amount, extend any scheduled Tranche
A-2 Repayment Date or decrease the amount or allocation of any mandatory prepayment to be received
by any Tranche A-2 Term Loan Lender, in each case without the written consent of the Required
Tranche A-2 Term Loan Lenders, (xi) decrease any Tranche B-1 Repayment Amount, extend any scheduled
Tranche B-1 Repayment Date or decrease the amount or allocation of any mandatory prepayment to be
received by any Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lender, in each case without the written consent of the
Required Tranche B-1 Term Loan Lenders, (xii) decrease any Tranche B-2 Repayment Amount, extend any
scheduled Tranche B-2 Repayment Date or decrease the amount or allocation of any mandatory
prepayment to be received by any Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lender, in each case without the written
consent of the Required Tranche B-2 Term Loan Lenders, (xiii) decrease any Tranche B-3 Repayment
Amount, extend any scheduled Tranche B-3 Repayment Date or decrease the amount or allocation of any

Tranche Repayment Amount, extend any scheduled European-1 Tranche Repayment Date or decrease the
amount or allocation of any mandatory prepayment to be received by any European-1 Tranche Term Loan
Lender, in each case without the written consent of the Required European-1 Tranche Term Loan
Lenders. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to
each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrowers, such Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the
Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, it being understood that no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of
such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being
understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting

167

 

Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of
the Lenders).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to any credit extensions and related Joinder
Agreement(s) effectuated without the consent of Lenders in accordance with Section 2.14,
this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required
Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans and
the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and other definitions
related to such new Term Loans.

          In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the affected Borrowers and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans
of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche (“Replacement Term
Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement
Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the
Applicable ABR Margin and Applicable LIBOR Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be
higher than the Applicable ABR Margin and Applicable LIBOR Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans,
(c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than
the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing
(except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as
a result of prepayment of the applicable Term Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such
Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders
providing such Replacement Term Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except
to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the
latest final maturity of the Term Loans of such Class in effect immediately prior to such
refinancing.

          The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the
Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination
of this Agreement, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of
or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other
than another Credit Party (other than (x) a European Credit Party, in the case of any sale or other
disposition by a U.S. Credit Party and (y) a U.S. Credit Party, in the case of any sale or other
disposition by a European Credit Party), to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a
certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without
further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan
Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders
whose consent may be required in accordance with this Section 14.1), (v) to the extent the
property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor
from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance with the following

168

 

sentence) and (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in
connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral
Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations
or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being
released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties,
including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the
Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantors shall be
released from the Guarantees (i) upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary
ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) upon the designation of such Guarantor as a
Designated Non-Guarantor Subsidiary (in accordance with the definition thereof) or (iii) in the
case of any European Guarantor, upon the repayment in full of all European Obligations. The
Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to
execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence
and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender.

          14.2. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be in writing (including by
facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the
applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other
communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the
applicable telephone number, as follows:

     (a) if to the Parent Borrower, the European Subsidiary Borrower, the Administrative

Person on Schedule 14.2 to the Original Credit Agreement or to such other address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such
party in a notice to the other parties; and

     (b) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address
or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such
party in a notice to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Letter of Credit Issuer and the Swingline Lender.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to
occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by
courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail,
three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile,
when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail,
when delivered; provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.6, 2.9, 4.2 and
5.1 shall not be effective until received.

          14.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on
the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any

169

 

right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

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

          14.5. Payment of Expenses. The Parent Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents
for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or
therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Cahill Gordon & Reindel
llp and one counsel in each local jurisdiction to the extent consented to by the Parent
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (b) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all
its reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other
documents, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Agent,
(c) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent from, any and all recording and
filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent and their respective
directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors and agents from and against any and
all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable and documented
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any
such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation
of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law (other than by such indemnified
person or any of its Related Parties) or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened
release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the operations of the Parent Borrower,
any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Real Estate (all the foregoing in this clause (d),
collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Borrowers shall have no
obligation hereunder to any Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any of their respective Related
Parties with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent attributable to (i) the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related
Parties, (ii) any material breach of any Credit Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii)
disputes among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and/or their transferees. All amounts payable
under this Section 14.5 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by the Parent
Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable retail. The
agreements in this Section 14.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

170

 

          14.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
Affiliate of the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except
as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any 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 14.6. 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 the Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent
provided in clause (c) of this Section 14.6) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Letter of Credit Issuer 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 clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may
at any time 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 Commitments and the Loans (including
participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that,
without limitation, the Parent Borrower shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to
any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, any Borrower would
be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental
Authority) of:

     (A) the Parent Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided that, subject to clause (g) below, no consent of the Parent
Borrower shall be required for (I) an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund or (II) if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or
Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignment of a Term Loan,
Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Credit Loan; and

     (B) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and, in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans only,
the Swingline Lender and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, provided that no
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as
applicable, shall be required for an assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

171

 

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

     (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
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
Acceptance 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 denominated in Dollars,
$1,000,000), and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of a Term Loan
denominated in Euro, €1,000,000 or increments of €1,000,000 in excess thereof) or , unless
each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the
Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or
Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided further that
contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related
Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount
requirements stated above;

     (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 Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee in the
amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment;

     (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the
“Administrative Questionnaire”); and

     (E) the assignee, if the assignment is with respect to the European-1 Tranche Term
Loan, must be able to comply with the requirements of Section 5.4(g) of this Agreement.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this
Section 14.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.5, 5.4 and
14.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.6 shall be

172

 

treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 14.6.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and any payment made by the Letter of Credit
Issuer under any Letter of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the
Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this
Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and
any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance 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 clause
(b) of this Section 14.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by
clause (b) of this Section 14.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower, any Administrative Agent,
the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it),
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (C) the Participant, if a participant with respect to the European-1 Tranche Term
Loan, must be able to provide the forms required by Section 5.4(g) of this Agreement to the Lender
from which it purchased the participation and (D) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Letter of Credit Issuer 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 and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, 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 clause (i) of the
proviso to Section 14.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii)
of this Section 14.6, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the requirements of those
Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
clause (b) of this Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of

173

 

Section 14.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 14.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.10, 2.11 or 5.4 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 Parent Borrower’s prior written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

          (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any
time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 14.6 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. In order to facilitate such pledge or
assignment, the Borrowers hereby agree that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time
to time after any Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, each Borrower shall provide to
such Lender, at such Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, in form reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, representing the Loan owing to such Lender.

          (e) Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any
Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective
Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning a Borrower and
its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower and its
Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of
such Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such
Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

          (f) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment
and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) above, unless an Event of
Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing, no
assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
shall be permitted without the consent of the Parent Borrower if, after giving effect to such
assignment, the assignee in respect thereof, taken together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds,
would hold in the aggregate more than 25% of the Total Credit Exposure.

174

 

          14.7. Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

          (a) The Parent Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests
reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4, (b)
is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of
the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender,
with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement
does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 11.1
or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the
Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and
other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11,
3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of
replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and
conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v)
the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions
of Section 14.6 (provided that the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

          (b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed
amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 14.1
requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders
shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrowers
shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such
Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its
Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender
being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such
assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such
Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, Administrative Agent,
such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section
14.6.

          14.8. Adjustments; Set-off.

          (a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part
of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred
to in Section 11.5, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or
interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral
or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any
portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such
purchase shall be

175

 

rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest; provided further that with respect to any amount received from
any European Credit Party that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 14.8(a), such Lender shall only purchase participations in the European-1 Tranche
Term Loans in accordance with the foregoing procedures.

          (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any
rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior
notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply
against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each
case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such
Borrower; provided that the amount received by any Lender from any European Subsidiary
Borrower as a result of this Section 14.8(b) may only be applied to the European
Obligations. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Borrower (and the Parent Borrower, if
other) and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application.

          14.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic
transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be
lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

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

          14.11. Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of
the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by
any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender relative to subject
matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

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

176

 

          14.13. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally:

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of

Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and

proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of

the Original Credit Agreement at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall
have been notified pursuant to Section 14.2;

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

in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States as its designee,
appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect
of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that
may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered
or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such Person in
care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and such Person hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.
As an alternative method of service, each Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of
any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Process Agent or such
Person at its address specified in Section 14.2. Each Borrower 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.

177

AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS

178

 

AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

          14.16. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall hold all non-public
information furnished by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
connection with such Lender’s evaluation of whether to become a Lender hereunder or obtained by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement
(“Confidential Information”), confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling
confidential information of this nature and (in the case of a Lender that is a bank) in accordance
with safe and sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure as required or requested
by any governmental agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or (a) to such
Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s attorneys, professional advisors, independent auditors,
trustees or Affiliates, (b) to an investor or prospective investor in a Securitization that agrees

non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, and provided further that in no
event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials
furnished by the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent
agrees that it will not provide to prospective Transferees or to any pledgee referred to in
Section 14.6 or to prospective direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap
agreements to be entered into in connection with Loans made hereunder any of the Confidential
Information unless such Person is advised of and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 14.16.

          14.17. Direct Website Communications.

          (a) Any Borrower may, at its option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information,
documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial
statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials,
but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an
existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or
interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due
under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or
event of default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition
precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit
thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as
“Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a

179

 

format
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at
liliana.claar@bankofamerica.com. Nothing in this Section 14.17 shall prejudice the right
of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication
pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

          (i) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the
Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of
the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender
agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have
been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such
Lender for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative
Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail
address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the
foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

          (b) The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the other Agents
will make available to the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer materials and/or information
provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting
the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b)
certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to
receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to
identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that do not contain any material non-public
information and that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (x) all such Borrower
Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that
the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof and (y) by marking Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC,” such Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and
the other Agents to make such Borrower Materials available through a portion of the Platform
designated “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Related Parties shall be
liable, or responsible in any manner, for the use by any Agent, any Lender, any Participant or any
of their Related Parties of the Borrower Materials. In addition, it is agreed that (i) to the
extent any Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be subject to the
confidentiality provisions of Section 14.16 and (ii) the Borrowers shall be under no
obligation to designate any Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC”.

     (c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW)
DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE
PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.
NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR
OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE
PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively,
the “Agent Parties” and each an “Agent Party”) have any liability to any Borrower,

180

 

any Lender, the
Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the
extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any of its Related
Parties’) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Credit
Documents.

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

          14.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another
currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on
the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower
in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or
under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on
the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in
the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
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 Administrative Agent from any
Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the
Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of
any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under
applicable law).

          14.20. UK Know-Your-Customer Requirements.

     (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or
application of) any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement;

181

 

     (iii) a proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender of any of its rights and

transfer,

obliges

prospective new Lender) to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in

shall promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender supply, or procure the
supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative
