          SECTION 2. Amount and Terms of Credit

          2.1 Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set
forth, each Lender having a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans (each a
“Term Loan”) on the Closing Date to the Borrower in Dollars, which Term Loans shall not
exceed for any such Lender the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender and in the aggregate shall not
exceed $575,000,000.

Such Term Loans (i) shall be made on the Closing Date in accordance with the preceding paragraph,
(ii) may at the option of the Borrower be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR
Loans or LIBOR Loans, provided that all such Term Loans made by each of the Lenders
pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist
entirely of Term Loans of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the
provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed, (iv) shall not exceed for any
such Lender its Term Loan Commitment and (v) shall not exceed in the aggregate the total of all
Term Loan Commitments. On the Term Loan Maturity Date, all then unpaid Term Loans shall be repaid
in full.

          2.2 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans shall be in a multiple of
$1,000,000 and, shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount with respect thereto. More
than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date, provided that at no time shall there be
outstanding more than six (6) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans under this Agreement.

     2.3 Notice of Borrowing. (a) The 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 no later
than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) of the Borrowing of Term Loans if all or any of such Term
Loans are to be initially LIBOR Loans, and (ii) prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) prior to 10:00 a.m.
(New York City time) on the date of the Borrowing of Term Loans if all such Term Loans are to be
ABR Loans. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term
Loans to be made, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be

-38-

 

the Closing Date) and (iii)
whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Loans and/or LIBOR Loans and, if the Term Loans are
to include LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially 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) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (c) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (d) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (e) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (f) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any
notice it may give hereunder 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 the Borrower. In each
such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of
the terms of any such telephonic notice.

     2.4 Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time)
on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing 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.

          (b) Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund to the Borrower under any
Borrowing for its applicable Commitments, and in immediately available funds to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will make
available to the Borrower, by depositing to an account designated by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars.
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 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 same to the 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 Borrower and the Borrower
shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the

-39-

 

Administrative Agent to the 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the 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 the 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 Borrower shall repay to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, on the Term Loan
Maturity Date, the then-unpaid Term Loans made to the Borrower.

          (b) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the benefit of the
Lenders of Term Loans, on each date set forth below (each, a “Term Loan Repayment Date”),
the principal amount of the Term Loans equal to (x) the outstanding principal amount of Term
Loans immediately after closing on the Closing Date multiplied by (y) the percentage set forth
below opposite such Repayment Date (each, a “Term Loan Repayment Amount”):

          (c) 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 borrower thereof 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.

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

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

          (f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to
paragraphs (d) and (e) 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
Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as
applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

     2.6 Conversions and Continuations. (a) The Borrower shall have the option on
any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of
the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans made to the Borrower (as applicable) of one Type
into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and the 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 on the last Business Day of the existing 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

-41-

 

Loans for an additional Interest Period if an
Event of 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 and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section
2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2. Each such conversion or
continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business
Days’ prior written notice or written notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the same
Business Day in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans (or, in each case, telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) (each, a “Notice
of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Term Loans to be so converted or continued,
the Type of Term Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Term 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 Lender notice as promptly as practicable of
any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Term Loans.

          (b) If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed
continuation of any LIBOR Loans 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, the Borrower has failed
to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in paragraph (a) above, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a
Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

          2.7 Pro Rata Borrowings. Each Borrowing of Term Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata
on the basis of their then-applicable Term Loan Commitments. Each Borrowing of New Term Loans
under this Agreement shall be granted 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 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.

     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 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 in effect from time to time plus the
relevant LIBOR Rate.

-42-

 

          (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 (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) at a rate per annum
that is (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 and including the date of
such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as
before judgment). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this
Section 2.8 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of
any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative
Agent or any Lender.

          (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 (i) in respect of each ABR Loan,
quarterly in arrears on the last 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 (except, other than in
the case of prepayments, any ABR Loan), on any prepayment date (on the amount prepaid), at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

          (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 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 the 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 the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior
to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest
Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to elect by
giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing
no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing,
which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three, six or if
available to all the Lenders as determined by the Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market
conditions, a nine or twelve month period.

          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

-43-

 

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 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 Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR
Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the applicable 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 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 such increase or
reduction attributable to Taxes) because of (x) any change since the date hereof in any applicable
law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or 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 date hereof that materially and
adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

-44-

 

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 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 Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the
Administrative Agent notifies the 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 Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been
incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the
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 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 clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the
actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the
time period required by law.

          (b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in
Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the 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 said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent
telephonic notice thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to
Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) (confirmed promptly in writing no later than 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on the next day) 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).

          (c) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent with any request or directive
made or adopted after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, 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 adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (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 Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate

-45-

 

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 such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the date hereof. 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 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 Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

          (d) It is understood that to the extent duplicative of Section 5.4, this Section
2.10 shall not apply to Taxes.

          2.11 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the
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 an 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 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 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), or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the 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 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, or 5.4 is given
by any Lender more than 180 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, or 5.4, as the case may be, for any
such amounts incurred or accruing

-46-

 

prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the
Borrower; provided that if the event giving rise to such additional cost, reduction in
amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts has a retroactive effect, then the 180 day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     2.14 Incremental Facilities. (a) Borrower may by written notice to
Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more increases in Term Loan
Commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of
the difference between $100,000,000 and the sum of all New Term Loan Commitments and New
Revolving Credit Commitments obtained prior to such date and not less than $10,000,000
individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent or such
lesser amount that shall constitute the difference between $100,000,000 and the sum of all New
Revolving Credit Commitments and New Term Loan Commitments obtained prior to such date). Each
such
notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the
Borrower proposes that the New Term 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
Administrative Agent; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a
portion of the New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide
a New Term Loan Commitments. Such New Term Loan Commitments shall become effective, as of such

Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 shall be satisfied; (iii) Borrower
and its Subsidiaries shall be in Pro Forma Compliance with each of the covenants set forth in
Section 10.9 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving
effect to such New Term Loan Commitments and any Specified Transaction to be consummated in
connection therewith; (iv) the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or
more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the 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(d) and (e); (v) Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to
Section 2.11 in connection with the New Term Loan Commitments, as applicable; and (vi)
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.

          (b) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (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

Series shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable Joinder Agreement,
identical to the existing Term Loans; provided that (i) the applicable New Term Loan
Maturity Date of each Series shall be no earlier than the final maturity of the Term Loans
outstanding on the Increased Amount Date with respect to such New Term Loans and the mandatory
prepayment and other payment rights (other than scheduled amortization) of the New Term Loans and
the existing Term Loans shall be identical, (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of all New
Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the
Term Loans outstanding on the Increased Amount Date, (iii) the rate of interest and the
amortization schedule applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the
Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder
Agreement; provided that such Borrower shall be the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor
and (iv) all other terms applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series
that differ from the existing Term Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (as evidenced by its execution of the applicable Joinder Agreement).

          (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.

-48-

 

prepayment of any Borrowing of Term
Loans shall be in a multiple of $100,000 and in an aggregate principal amount of at least
$1,000,000, 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 Minimum Borrowing Amount for LIBOR Loans and (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans
pursuant to this Section 5.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of
Section 2.11. Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section
5.1 shall be (a) applied to Term Loans in such manner as the Borrower may determine and (b)
applied to reduce Repayment Amounts, and/or any New Term Loan Repayment Amounts, as the case may
be, in such order as the Borrower may determine. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any
prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.1, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Term
Loan of a Defaulting Lender.

          5.2 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Term Loan Prepayments. (i) On each
occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the
occurrence of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and within five Business Days after the occurrence
of any other Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within five Business
Days after the Reinvestment Period relating to such Prepayment Event or 180 days thereafter, as
applicable), prepay, in accordance with paragraph (c) below, the principal amount of Term Loans in
an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event. If the Stock or Stock
Equivalents of any Credit Party is sold or any Credit Party is sold as a going concern on any date,
the sale proceeds shall be allocated as follows: (x) that portion of the sale proceeds equal to
the aggregate value of “Accounts” and “Cost” of “Inventory” (in each case, as defined in the
Revolving Loan Credit Agreement”) shall be allocated to the Revolving Credit Collateral (as defined
in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Credit Parties so sold and shall be deemed to be proceeds
thereof and (y) the balance of sale proceeds shall be allocated to the Collateral of the Credit
Parties so sold and shall be deemed to be proceeds thereof and applied pursuant to the foregoing
sentence.

                              (ii) Not later than the date that is ninety days after the last day of any fiscal year

prepay, in accordance with paragraph (c) below, the principal of Term Loans in an 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 Borrower’s ratio of Consolidated
Total Debt on the date of prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto) to Consolidated EBITDA for
the most recent Test Period ended prior to such prepayment date is no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 but
greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (B) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required under this
Section 5.2(a)(ii) if the Borrower’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt on the date of
prepayment (prior to giving effect thereto) to Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent Test Period
ended prior to such prepayment date is no greater than 3.00 to 1.00), minus (y) the principal
amount of Term Loans voluntarily prepaid pursuant to Section 5.1 during such fiscal year.

          (b) [Intentionally Omitted]

          (c) Application to Repayment Amounts. Each prepayment of Term Loans required by
Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) shall be applied to the next four Repayment Amounts in
chronological order and further applied on a pro rata basis to the remaining Repayment

-49-

 

Amounts. With respect to each such prepayment, the 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 no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time))
requesting that the Administrative Agent provide notice of such prepayment Term Loan Lender.

          (d) Application to Term Loans. With respect to prepayment of Term Loans required by
Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may 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
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) 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
Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount 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 Obligations, provided that
the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment
required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

          (f) Minimum Amount. No prepayment shall be required pursuant to Section
5.2(a)(i) 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 (i) $5,000,000 for a
single Prepayment Event or (ii) $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Prepayment Events.

          (g) Foreign Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section
5.2, (i) to the extent that any of or all the 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”) or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law
from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash
Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay 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 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 or Excess Cash Flow 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 Term Loans pursuant to this Section 5.2 and
(ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of
or all

-50-

 

the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Asset Sale or Excess Cash Flow would have an adverse
tax or accounting 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 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 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 Borrower, without set-off,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the
Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) 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
Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the 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 Loans (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise) hereunder shall 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) on such 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 the
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 the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by 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 Borrower or any Guarantor shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii)

-51-

 

the Borrower
or any Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the
Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower 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 the Borrower showing payment thereof.

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

          (c) The Borrower 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, or paid by, 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 Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) Each Non-U.S. Lender making or acquiring a Loan to the Borrower shall:

                    (i) deliver to the 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 Borrower and is not a controlled
foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the
Code)), (y) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or (z) Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8IMY (together with the forms and certificates described in clauses (x) and (y), as
appropriate), 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
Borrower under this Agreement; and

                    (ii) deliver to the 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 Borrower;

unless in any such case any Change in Law or other event has occurred prior to the date on which
any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or

-52-

 

 would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such
Lender so advises the 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(d), 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.

          (e) Each Lender 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 Administrative Agent), as applicable, at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law and 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 is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such
documentation, such documentation is necessary in order for such exemption or reduction to apply
and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment the completion, execution or submission would not
materially prejudice the legal position of the Lender. In addition, each Lender shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent (including an IRS Form W-8 or W-9) as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to United States backup
withholding or information reporting requirements.

          (f) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting
any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Borrower in
a reasonable challenge of such taxes at the Borrower’s expense if so requested by the Borrower.
If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, receives a refund
of a tax for which a payment has been made by the 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 the Borrower, then the Lender,
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the
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 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. 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 reasonable
discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. The Borrower, upon the
request of the Lender, the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, is required to repay the refund to the Governmental Authority. Neither the Lender,
the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information

-53-

 

regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this paragraph (f)
or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

          (g) 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) Interest on LIBOR Loans and, except
as provided in the next succeeding sentence, 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 Prime Rate 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 shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) 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 Borrower shall not be obliged to pay any interest or other amounts under or in
connection with this Agreement 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 the Borrower is not obliged to make a
payment which it would otherwise be required to make, as a result of Section 5.6(a), the
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 the Borrower to make any payment of
interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which 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 the 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 the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum
permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the 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 the Borrower.

          In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make the Loans as provided for

representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Lenders, all of which shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the
Letters of Credit:

          8.1 Corporate Status. The 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 in all jurisdictions where it is
required to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be

-58-

 

          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 to which it is a party. Each Credit Party has
duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to 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. Each Credit Party is in compliance with all laws, orders, writs and injunctions except
to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          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) 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 any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of
its property or assets is bound or (c) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation,
by-laws or other constitutional documents of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries.

          8.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings (including Environmental
Claims) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened with respect to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or
a Material Adverse Change.

principally, as one or more of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for
the purpose of purchasing any “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U. Neither the making of any
Loan hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the provisions of Regulation T, U
or X of the Board.

          8.6 Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of the Merger
Agreement or any Credit Document does not require any consent or approval of, registration or
filing with, or any 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.

“controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,

(taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower, any
of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective authorized representatives in writing to the
Administrative Agent and/or any Lender on or before the Closing Date (including (i) the
Confidential Information Memorandum and (ii) all information contained in the Credit Documents)
for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein
contained any untrue statement 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

projections and pro forma financial information.

          (b) The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the information and
data referred to in paragraph (a) above were based on good faith estimates and assumptions
believed by such Persons to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders

during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected
results.

accordance with GAAP and which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. The Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries have paid, or have provided adequate reserves
(in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) in accordance with GAAP for the
payment of, all material federal, state, provincial and foreign income taxes applicable for all
prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year to the Closing Date.

9.1 may be satisfied with respect to financial information of the Borrower and the Restricted
Subsidiaries by furnishing (A) the applicable financial statements of any direct or indirect parent
of the Borrower or (B) the Borrower’s (or any direct or indirect parent thereof’s), as applicable,
Form 10-K or 10-Q, as applicable, filed with the SEC; provided that, with respect
to each of clauses (A) and (B) above, to the extent such information relates to a parent of the
Borrower, such information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable
detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the
information relating to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the
other hand.

     9.2 Books, Records and Inspections. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the
Subsidiaries to, permit officers and designated representatives of the Administrative Agents or the
Required Lenders to visit and inspect any of the properties or assets of the Borrower and any such

permit such inspection, and to examine the books and records of the Borrower and any such
Subsidiary and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the 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 Agents or the Required Lenders may desire; provided that, excluding
any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the
Administrative Agent (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) on
behalf of the Required Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under this Section 9.2 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more
often than two times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only
one such time shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided further that when an Event of Default
exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) or any
representative of the Required Lenders may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower
at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The

-66-

     9.3 Maintenance of Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Material
Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain in full force and effect, with insurance companies that the
Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) are financially
sound and responsible at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance in at least
such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Borrower believes (in the good
faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and
nature of its business) and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the
Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Borrower) is reasonable and
prudent in light of the size and nature of its business; and will furnish to the Administrative
Agent (for deliver to the Lenders), upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information
presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. Each such policy of insurance shall
(i) name Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties as an additional insured thereunder as its
interests may appear and (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable
clause or endorsement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names
Collateral Agent, on behalf of Lenders as the loss payee thereunder and provides for at least
thirty days’ prior written notice to Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such
policy.

     9.4 Payment of Taxes. Each Credit Party will pay and discharge, and will cause each
of the Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all material taxes, assessments and 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 that,
if unpaid, could reasonably be expected to become a material Lien upon any properties of each
Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that no Credit Party, 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
(in the good faith judgment of the management of the Borrower) with respect thereto 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 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 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 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, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-67-

 

     9.7 ERISA. Promptly after the Borrower or any Subsidiary 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 Borrower will deliver to each of the Lenders a certificate of
an Authorized Officer or any other senior officer of the Borrower setting forth details as to such
occurrence and the action, if any, that the Borrower, such Subsidiary 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 Borrower, such Subsidiary, 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

terminated, reorganized, partitioned or declared insolvent under Title IV of ERISA (including the

trustee to administer any Plan; that the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate 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 Borrower, any Subsidiary 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,

     9.8 Maintenance of Properties. The 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 Borrower will conduct, and cause each of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions with any of its Affiliates (other than the
Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries) on terms that are substantially as favorable to the
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

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 Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash (the “Cure Right”), and
upon the receipt by such Person of net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right

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 the preceding
paragraph, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set forth
in Section 10.9 during such Test Period (including for purposes of Section 7.1),
the 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
Borrower to be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 10.9.

Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly

-92-

 

delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 13 are solely
for the benefit of the Agents, any sub-agent and the Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions
and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and
shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust

together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (ii) to enter into any
and all of the Security Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Intercreditor
Agreement) together with such other documents as shall be necessary to give effect to (x) the
ranking and priority of Indebtedness contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement and (y) the
Collateral contemplated by the other Security Documents, on its behalf. For the avoidance of
doubt, each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the same
extent as if it were a party thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Administrative Agent, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

     (c) The Syndication Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties
or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this
Section 13.

     13.2 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this
Section 13.2 and of Section 13.7 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights,
benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section
13 and Section 14.5 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the

-93-

 

Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent
as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent
shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits
and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of
the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to
enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to
indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all
of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including
exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the
consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative
Agent and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any
other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or
otherwise, against such sub-agent.

     13.3 General Immunity. (a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent
shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any
representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written

any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit
Party, or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person
liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire
as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or
agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans

disclosures with respect to the foregoing other than to the extent required under this Agreement.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any
liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amount
thereof.

     (b) Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors,
employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under
or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the
taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the
other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it
hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect
thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions
under Section 14.1) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other
Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain
from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
Person or Persons and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and
judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries),

-94-

 

accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall
have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so
instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance
with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such
instructions under Section 14.1)

     13.4 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the
Lender specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof
for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have
been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall
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 it has received notice from a Lender or the 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. 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 the
Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance

-95-

 

upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor and any 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, the 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 Borrower, 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 the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, each Lender acknowledges that the lien and security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement or other applicable Security Document, and the
exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent thereunder, are subject to the provisions
of the Intercreditor Agreement and that in the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and such Security Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
govern and control.

     13.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent and any sub-agent thereof, each in its capacity as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower 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 (including legal fees and 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 or
such sub-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 or such sub-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 or such
sub-agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 13.7 shall
survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-96-

 

     13.8 Agents in their Individual Capacity. The agency hereby created shall in no way
impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any
Agent or any sub-agent thereof in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to
its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent and any sub-agent thereof
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if
it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender”
shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent or any sub-agent thereof
in its individual capacity. Any Agent or any sub-agent thereof and its respective Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if
it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration
from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for
the same to Lenders.

     13.9 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the
Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
Administrative Agent or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, which successor agent in each
case, shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long
as no Default or Event of Default is continuing, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to
the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may
be, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as the case may be, shall mean such
successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s
or Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the
case may be, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, or any of the parties to this
Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral
Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the provisions
of this Section 13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents.

     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
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 which 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 Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower 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.

-97-

 

     13.11 REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; DISCLAIMER BY LENDERS. By signing this
Agreement, each Lender:

     (a) is deemed to have requested that the Agents furnish such Lender, promptly after it
becomes available, (i) a copy of all financial statements to be delivered by the Borrower
hereunder, (ii) a copy of any notice of Default or Event of Default received by such Agent
and (iii) a copy of each Report;

     (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that no Agent (i) makes any representation or
warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information
contained in any Report;

     (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or
examinations, that the Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect
only specific information regarding the Borrower and will rely significantly upon the
Borrower’s books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrower’s personnel;

     (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with Section 14.16;
and

     without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this
Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agents and any such other Person or Lender preparing a Report
harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may
reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the
indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s
participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrower; and
(ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Person or
Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages,
costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable costs of counsel) incurred by the Agents
and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or
indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the
indemnifying Lender.

          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 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

-98-

 

conditions as the Required Lenders
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the
requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and
its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment,
supplement or modification shall directly (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or any
Repayment Amount or extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or extend any scheduled
Repayment Date for any Loan or reduce the stated rate (it being understood that any change to the
definitions 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 Borrower 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 extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s
Commitment, 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), 2.4 (with respect to the ratable disbursement of funds) and 14.8(a), 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 term “Required Lenders” or consent to the assignment or
transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document to which it is a
party (except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.3), in each case without the written
consent 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, or, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantee (except as
expressly permitted by the Guarantee) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral under
the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender, or
(v) 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 (vi) amend, modify or waive any provisions hereof relating to the
Administrative Agent in a manner that directly and adversely affects it rights and obligations
hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; or (x) amend, modify or waive
any provisions hereof relating to the Collateral Agent in a manner that directly and adversely
affects it rights and obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Collateral
Agent. 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 Borrower, such Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the
Borrower, 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 Lender shall be
excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

-99-

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the 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 Credit Documents with the Term 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 Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans
(“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 Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable 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 in effect immediately
prior to such refinancing.

     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

14.2 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone

     (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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to

three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile,

-100-

 

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, 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 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 and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the
Agents for all their reasonable and documented 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
Latham & Watkins LLP, one local counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction and such
additional counsel to the extent consented to by the Borrower, (b) to pay or reimburse each
Lender, and 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 one
counsel to the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the other Agents (unless there is an
actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may retain its own
counsel), (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

documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel in

Person may retain its own counsel), related to the Transactions or 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 or to any actual or
alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials or any other Environmental
Claims involving or attributable to the operations of the 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 Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any of their Related

-101-

 

Parties with respect to indemnified
liabilities to the extent attributable to the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of,
or material breach of the Credit Documents by, the party to be indemnified or any of its Related
Parties. All amounts payable under this Section 14.5 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days
of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable
detail. No Person indemnified under this Section 14.5 shall be liable for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or
arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith. The agreements in this Section
14.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder

     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, except that (i) the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or
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, Participants (to
the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 14.6), pledges to the extent
provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 14.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent,
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

     (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and
the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

     (A) the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided that it being understood that, without limitation,
the Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent to any assignment
if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Borrower
would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or
registration with, any Governmental Authority), provided that no
consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (unless increased costs would result
therefrom at any time when no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or
Section 11.5 is continuing) or, if an Event of Default under
Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing,
any other assignee;

     (B) the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender, an Approved Fund), or, in the case of assignments in connection with
the initial syndication of Commitments and Loans only, the Co-Lead
Arrangers.

-102-

 

     (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, or assignments in connection
with the initial syndication of Commitments and Loans (in amounts, and to
such Persons, as previously agreed between the Borrower and the Co-Lead
Arrangers), 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 $1,000,000, and increments of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such
consent of the 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
or by a single assignor made to Affiliates or 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 of $3,500, provided that only one
such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or
from two or more Approved Funds; and

     (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”).

     For the purpose of this Section 14.6(b), the term “Approved Fund” means
any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing,
holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
course and that is administered, advised or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that
administers, advises or manages a Lender.

-103-

 

     (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v)
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, 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
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation
in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section
14.6.

     (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower 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, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). Further, the 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 absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry
relating to such Lender’s Loans) 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 paragraph (b) of this Section 14.6
and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (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 Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s

-104-

 

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 and
(C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, 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 the first proviso to Section 14.1 under subsections (i)
and (iv) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section 14.6, the Borrower agrees 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 (subject to the requirements of those Sections) and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 14.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of 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 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 Borrower’s prior written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

     (d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any
time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, 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 Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and
from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall
provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the
form of Exhibit L evidencing the Term Loans, respectively, owing to such Lender.

     (e) Subject to Section 14.16, the Borrower authorizes 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
the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the
Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit
evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

     14.7 Replacements of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) The 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)

-105-

 

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 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
such replacement, (iii) the Borrower 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 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
Borrower 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 Borrower, 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 which 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 Borrower 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 Borrower owing to such
Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender
concurrently with such assignment, (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 and (c) the replacement Lender shall grant such consent. In
connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, 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 rescinded,
and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

          (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 the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the

-106-

 

Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) upon any amount becoming due and payable by the 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 the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower, 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 the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or 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.

     14.13 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby 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
the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such

-107-

 

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

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to such Person at its address set forth on Schedule 
14.2 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;
and

     (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim
or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 14.13 any
special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

     14.14 Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

     (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any Lender has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on
the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;
and

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

IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO
THIS 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 Borrower 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 (i) make disclosure as required or requested by any governmental
agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or to such Lender’s or the
Administrative Agent’s attorneys, professional advisors or independent auditors

-108-

 

or Affiliates,
provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender
and the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or
representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the
financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of
such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such 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 Borrower or
any Subsidiary of the Borrower, (ii) make disclosures of such information reasonably required by
any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated
assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or
by any pledgees referred to in Section 14.16(d) or by direct or indirect contractual counterparties
(or the professional advisors thereto) in Hedge Agreements (provided, such assignees, transferees,
participants, pledgees, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by
provisions that in substance are the equivalent to those in this Section 14.16), (iii) make
disclosure of such information reasonably required by any lender or other Person providing
financing to such Lender (provided such lenders or other Persons are advised of the confidential
nature of such information and agree to keep such information confidential on terms consistent with
this Section 14.16), and (iv) make disclosure to any rating agency, provided that, prior to
any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of
any Confidential Information received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender.

     14.17 Direct Website Communications.

     (a) (i) The 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 the Credit Agreement prior to the scheduled
date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or event of default under the
Credit Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition
precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit 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 format reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent to lpgloans@lehman.com or such other email address as disclosed
in writing to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 14.17 shall prejudice
the right of the Borrower, 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.

     (ii) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by
the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above

-109-

 

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 Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications
available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar
electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform is
limited (i) to the Agents and the Lenders and (ii) remains subject the confidentiality
requirements set forth in Section 14.16.

     (c) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties do not warrant
the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the platform and expressly
disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind,
express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses
or other code defects, is made by the Agent Parties in connection with the Communications or the
platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of its
affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or
representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation,
direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in
tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s
transmission of Communications 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.

     (d) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be
“public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with
respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices
required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed
through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains only
publicly available information with respect to the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the
Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a
document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative
Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform
designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to
the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower
shall be under no obligation under this Section 14.17 (d) to indicate any document or notice as
containing only publicly available information.

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 Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot
Act.
