2.23.

“Additional Lender” shall have the meaning given to such term in Section 2.23.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” shall mean, with respect to each Interest Period for a Eurodollar

paragraph hereof.

“Administrative Questionnaire” shall mean, with respect to each Lender, an
administrative questionnaire in the form prepared by the Administrative Agent and submitted to the
Administrative Agent duly completed by such Lender.

 

 

 

“Affiliate” shall mean, as to any Person, any other Person that directly, or
indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control
with, such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “Control” shall mean the power, directly
or indirectly, either to (i) vote 5% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the
election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of a Person or (ii) direct or cause
the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ability to exercise
voting power, by control or otherwise. The terms “Controlling”, “Controlled by”, and “under common
Control with” have the meanings correlative thereto.

“Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount” shall mean the aggregate principal amount of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments from time to time. On the Closing Date, the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount is $2,000,000.

“Aggregate Revolving Commitments” shall mean, collectively, all Revolving Commitments
of all Lenders at any time outstanding.

“Aggregate Term Loan Commitments” shall mean, collectively, all Term Loan Commitments
of all Lenders at any time outstanding.

Bush on September 24, 2001.

“Annualized” means, with respect to any amount for any applicable period, the
applicable amount for the applicable period divided by the number of months in such applicable
period times twelve (12).

“Applicable Lending Office” shall mean, for each Lender and for each Type of Loan, the
“Lending Office” of such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) designated for such Type of Loan
in the Administrative Questionnaire submitted by such Lender or such other office of such Lender
(or an Affiliate of such Lender) as such Lender may from time to time specify to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower as the office by which its Loans of such Type are to be made and maintained.

“Applicable Margin” shall mean, as of any date, (a) with respect to all Term Loans
outstanding on such date and (b) with respect to interest on all Revolving Loans outstanding on
such date or the letter of credit fee, as the case may be, a percentage per annum determined by

I; provided, that a change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the
Leverage Ratio shall be effective on the second Business Day after which the Borrower delivers each
of the financial statements required by Section 5.1(a) and (b) and the Compliance
Certificate required by Section 5.1(c); provided further, that if at any time the
Borrower shall have failed to deliver such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate
when so required, the Applicable Margin shall be at Level V as set forth on Schedule I

2

 

 delivered hereunder is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments
are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have
led to the application of a higher or lower Applicable Margin based upon the pricing grid set forth
on Schedule I (the “Accurate Applicable Margin”) for any period that such financial
statement or Compliance Certificate covered, then (i) the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business
Day, deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct financial statement or Compliance Certificate,
as the case may be, for such period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted such that after
giving effect to the corrected financial statements or Compliance Certificate, as the case may be,
the Applicable Margin shall be reset to the Accurate Applicable Margin based upon the pricing grid
set forth on Schedule I for such period and (iii) either the Borrower shall, within one (1)
Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the accrued
additional interest owing as a result of such Accurate Applicable Margin for such period, or, in
the case of a lower Accurate Applicable Margin, the Lenders shall promptly pay any resulting excess
interest to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower. The provisions of this
definition shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to
Section 2.13(c) or Article VIII.

“Applicable Percentage” shall mean, as of any date, with respect to the commitment fee
as of any date, the percentage per annum determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio in effect on
such date as set forth on Schedule I; provided, that a change in the Applicable
Percentage resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective on the second Business
Day after which the Borrower delivers each of the financial statements required by Section
5.1(a) and (b) and the Compliance Certificate required by Section
5.1(c); provided further, that if at any time the Borrower shall have failed to
deliver such financial statements and such Compliance Certificate, the Applicable Percentage shall
be at Level V as set forth on Schedule I until such time as such financial statements and
Compliance Certificate are delivered, at which time the Applicable Percentage shall be determined
as provided above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Percentage for the commitment fee
from the Closing Date until the financial statements and Compliance Certificate for the Fiscal
Quarter ending October 31, 2009 are required to be delivered shall be at Level IV as set forth on
Schedule I. In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered
hereunder is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in
effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to
the application of a higher Applicable Percentage based upon the pricing grid set forth on
Schedule I (the “Accurate Applicable Percentage”) for any period that such
financial statement or Compliance Certificate covered, then (i) the Borrower shall, within one (1)
Business Day, deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct Financial Statement or Compliance
Certificate, as the case may be, for such period, (ii) the Applicable Percentage shall be adjusted
such that after giving effect to the corrected financial statements or Compliance Certificate, as
the case may be, the Applicable Percentage shall be reset to the Accurate Applicable Percentage
based upon the pricing grid set forth on Schedule I for such period as set forth in the
foregoing pricing grid for such period and (iii) the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day,
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the accrued additional commitment
fee owing as a result of such Accurate Applicable Percentage for such period or, in the case of a
lower Applicable Percentage, the Lenders shall promptly pay any excess resulting commitment fees
paid to the Lenders to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrower. The provisions
of this definition shall

Revolving Commitment) to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2, (ii) the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.22, and (iii) each Lender agrees to purchase a participation interest in the Letters of
Credit (to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) pursuant to the terms and conditions

each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans, ratably in proportion to its Pro Rata Share,
to the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount
outstanding at any time that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure
exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (b) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all
Lenders exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount. During the Availability Period, the
Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that the Borrower may not borrow or
reborrow should there exist a Default or Event of Default.

Section 2.3. Procedure for Revolving Borrowings.

The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of each Revolving Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3
(a “Notice of Revolving Borrowing”) (x) prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to
the requested date of each Base Rate Borrowing or LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00

principal amount of each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be not less than $100,000 or a larger multiple
of $100,000, and the aggregate principal amount of each LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing or Base Rate
Borrowing shall not be less than $100,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000; provided, that

28

 

Section 2.4. [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 2.5. Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on
the Closing Date or if such Lender is joining this Agreement as an Additional Lender and is
establishing its initial Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.23 (or an existing Lender is
increasing its Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.23), on the effective date of any
supplement or joinder described in Section 2.23, in a principal amount equal to (a) with respect to
the Term Loans to be made on the Closing Date, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender as of the
Closing Date, and (b) with respect to any Term Loans made by such Lender after the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 2.23, the amount by which such Lender agreed to increase (or establish, in the
case of an Additional Lender) its Term Loan Commitment; provided, that if for any reason
the full amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment is not fully drawn on the Closing Date, or on
the effective date of any increase pursuant to Section 2.23, as the case may be, the undrawn
portion thereof at such time shall automatically be cancelled. The Term Loans may be, from time to
time, Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans, LIBOR Index Rate Loans or a combination thereof;
provided, that on the Closing Date all Term Loans shall be LIBOR Index Rate Loans. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower and the satisfaction of all conditions
precedent pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed to constitute the Borrower’s request to
borrow the Term Loans on the Closing Date, and the execution and delivery of a supplement or
joinder described in Section 2.23 by the Borrower and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent
pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be deemed to constitute the Borrower’s request to borrow the
additional Term Loans on the effective date of any such supplement or joinder, provided,
that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, condition any request by Borrower to
borrow the Term Loans (whether on the Closing Date or, if applicable, thereafter), upon the
Borrower giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
writing) of each Term Loan Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5 (a
“Notice of Term Loan Borrowing”) (x) prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the
requested date of each Base Rate Borrowing or LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00
a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of each Eurodollar Borrowing. Each Notice
of Term Loan Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount
of such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type
of such Term Loan comprising such Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the
duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of the
definition of Interest Period), provided, that on the Closing Date all Term Loans shall be
LIBOR Index Rate Loans.

Section 2.6. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. to the Administrative Agent at
the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by
promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the
close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent or at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to
an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

 

29

 

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 11:00 a.m.
on the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on
such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made
available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such
demand and thereafter at the Base Rate. 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, within 1 Business Day, pay such corresponding amount
to the Administrative Agent together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing.
Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(c) All Revolving Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro
Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations
hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made by it
hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

Section 2.7. Interest Elections.

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

 

30

 

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of
each Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.7 attached hereto (a “Notice of
Conversion/Continuation”) that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, (x) prior
to 10:00 a.m. time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion into a Base
Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days
prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such Notice of
Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such
Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and if different options are being elected with respect
to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting
Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant
to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the
resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a LIBOR Index Rate
Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by
the definition of “Interest Period”. If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall
satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings, Base Rate Borrowings and LIBOR
Index Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3.

(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing or
LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/
Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be
converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing if a
Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index
Rate Loans shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

(d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting
Borrowing.

Section 2.8. Optional Reduction and Termination of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments and LC Commitments shall terminate
on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Term Loan Commitments as of the Closing Date
shall terminate on the Closing Date, and any additional Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section
2.23 shall terminate upon the effectiveness of any supplement or joinder executed pursuant thereto,
in each case upon the making of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.5.

(b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), the Borrower
may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments in whole; provided, that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce
proportionately and permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction
pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be in an amount of at least $100,000 and any larger
multiple of $100,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the
Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the
outstanding Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount below the sum of the principal amount of the LC Commitment shall result
in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the LC
Commitment.

 

31

 

(c) The Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Revolving
Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the
Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the
provisions of Section 2.26 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for
the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal,
interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be
deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.9. Repayment of Loans.

(a) The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable (together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, provided,
however, that, at Borrower’s election, any outstanding Letters of Credit may be Cash Collateralized
for so long as any LC Exposure related to or arising from any such Letters of Credit is
outstanding, by the Borrower depositing in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of
the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash
equal to 105% of any such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon.
Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to any LC Exposure
related to or arising from any such Letters of Credit, which shall otherwise survive the repayment
of the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the
exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrower agrees to execute any documents and/or
certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph. Other than any interest earned on the
investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear
interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.
Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for LC Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and to the extent so applied, shall be
held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at
such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, with the consent of the Required
Lenders, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted]

 

32

 

(c) In addition to any amounts due from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(f) of this
Agreement, the Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan of such Lender in installments
payable on the dates set forth below, with each such installment being in the aggregate principal
amount for all Lenders set forth opposite such date below (and on such
other date(s) and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this
Agreement):

	 	 	 	 	 
	Installment Date	 	Aggregate Principal Amount	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	July 31, 2009
	 	$	2,083,333.00

	 	$	2,500,000.00	 
	October 31, 2010
	 	$	2,500,000.00	 
	January 31, 2011

	January 31, 2012
	 	$	2,500,000.00	 
	April 30, 2012
	 	$	2,916,667.00	 

provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance
of the Term Loans (specifically including any Additional Commitment Amount comprised of an increase
to the Term Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 2.23 of this Agreement) shall be due and payable on
the Maturity Date.

Section 2.10. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain appropriate records in which shall be recorded
(i) the Revolving Commitment and Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder by each Lender, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.7, (iv) the date
of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another Type pursuant to Section 2.7, (v)
the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from
the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of such Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans
and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;
provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in
maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued
interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement evidences the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and is being
executed as a “noteless” credit agreement. However, at the request of any Lender at any time, the
Borrower agrees that it will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable
to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all
times (including after assignment permitted hereunder) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

 

33

 

Section 2.11. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by
giving irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the
Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing or any
LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing, 11:00 a.m. not less than three (3) Business Days prior to any such
prepayment and (ii) in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing, not less than one
Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such
prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due
and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on
the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(d); provided, that if a
Eurodollar Borrowing or a LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant
to Section 2.19. Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to
Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans
comprising such Borrowing, and in the case of a prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing, to principal
installments in inverse order of maturity, provided, that any such prepayment of a Borrowing made
within the 15 day period immediately prior to any scheduled principal installment payment date
shall be applied first to the principal and interest payable on such payment date, and then to the
remaining principal installments in the inverse order of their maturity.

Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Within 5 Business Days after receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of cash
proceeds of any sale or disposition by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of any of its assets, or
cash proceeds from any casualty insurance policies or eminent domain, condemnation or similar
proceedings, other than proceeds from sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, the
Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount by which such cash proceeds, net of (i)
commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly
attributable to such transaction and payable by such Borrower in connection therewith (in each
case, paid to non-Affiliates), (ii) reasonable reserves with respect to post-closing adjustments,
indemnities and contingent obligations and (iii) amounts paid in respect of any Indebtedness
secured by a Lien on such assets exceed $250,000 in any Fiscal Year, except to the extent that such
proceeds from casualty insurance policies, eminent domain, condemnation or similar proceeds are
reinvested in the business of the Loan Parties within 180 days following receipt thereof, and until
reinvested are held in Controlled Accounts subject to Control Account Agreements. Any such
prepayment shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

 

34

 

(b) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries issues any Indebtedness or equity securities
(other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.1, and other than equity securities
issued by a Subsidiary of the Borrower to the Borrower or another Subsidiary or by the Borrower to
a director, officer or employee) then no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt
of the cash proceeds thereof, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable
costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith, Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an
amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100%) of such cash proceeds resulting from any issuance of
any such Indebtedness and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of such cash proceeds resulting from any
issuance of any such equity securities. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.12(c).

(c) Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) or (b)
above shall be applied as follows: first, to Administrative Agent’s fees and reimbursable
expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all
reimbursable reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of the Lenders and all reasonable and
documented out of pocket fees and reimbursable expenses of the Issuing Bank then due and payable
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank based on their
respective pro rata shares of such reasonable and documented out of pocket fees and expenses;
third, to interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the Lenders based
on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; fourth, to the principal
balance of the Term Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders
based on their Pro Rata Shares of the Term Loans, and applied to installments of the Term Loans in
inverse order of maturity; provided, that any such prepayment of a Borrowing made within the 15 day
period immediately prior to any scheduled principal installment payment date shall be applied first
to the principal and interest payable on such payment date, and then to the remaining principal
installments in the inverse order of their maturity, fifth, to the principal balance of the
Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on
their respective Revolving Commitments and sixth, to Cash Collateralize the Letters of
Credit in accordance with Section 2.22(g) in an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC
Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon. The Revolving Commitments of
the Lenders shall not be permanently reduced by the amount of any prepayments made pursuant to
clauses fifth and sixth above, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Required Revolving Lenders so request.

(d) If at any time the Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate
Revolving Commitment Amount, as reduced pursuant to Section 2.8 or otherwise, the Borrower
shall immediately repay Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Section 2.19.
Each prepayment shall be applied first to the Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof, next to
LIBOR Index Rate Loans to the full extent thereof and finally to Eurodollar Loans to the full
extent thereof. If after giving effect to prepayment of all Revolving Loans, the Revolving Credit
Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and
for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to such excess plus
any accrued and unpaid fees thereon to be held as collateral for the LC Exposure. Such account
shall be administered in accordance with Section 2.22(g) hereof.

 

35

 

Section 2.13. Interest on Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in effect from
time to time, on each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period
in effect for such Loan and on each LIBOR Index Rate Loan at the LIBOR Index Rate for the
applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan, plus, in each case, the Applicable Margin in
effect from time to time.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted]

(c) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, while an Event of Default exists, at the option of the
Required Lenders, and after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (“Default
Interest”) with respect to (i) all Eurodollar Loans and all LIBOR Index Rate Loans at the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate and at the LIBOR Index Rate (as applicable), plus, in each case, the Applicable
Margin (which, notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, while an Event of Default
exists, shall be at Level V as set forth in Schedule I), plus an additional 2% per annum,
until the last day of the applicable Interest Period and (ii) all Base Rate Loans and all other
Obligations hereunder (other than Loans), at the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin (which,
notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, while an Event of Default exists, shall be
at Level V as set forth in Schedule I), plus an additional 2% per annum, until the last day
of the applicable Interest Period.

(d) Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date
such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all
outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each July,
October, January and April and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Maturity Date,
as the case may be. Interest on all outstanding Eurodollar Loans and LIBOR Index Rate Loans shall
be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and, in the case of any
Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period in excess of three months or 90 days, respectively, on
each day which occurs every three months or 90 days, as the case may be, after the initial date of
such Interest Period, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or which is repaid
or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or
prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on
demand.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such
determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.14. Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts
and at the times more specifically set forth in the Fee Letter.

 

36

 

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a
commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Percentage per annum
(determined daily in accordance with Schedule I) on the daily amount of the unused
Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the Availability Period. For purposes of computing
commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender
shall be deemed used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such
Lender.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each
Lender, a letter of credit fee with respect to its participation in each Letter of Credit, which
shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans then in effect
on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit
during the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding
the date on which such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full (including without limitation
any LC Exposure that remains outstanding after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date),
provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount of any such letter of credit fee
shall be $1,000 and (ii) to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue
at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the Availability Period (or
until the date that such Letter of Credit is irrevocably cancelled, whichever is later), provided,
however, that such fronting fee shall only be due and payable by the Borrower in the event that the
Borrower exercises its right to increase the Aggregate Commitment Amount through the inclusion of
an Additional Lender having a Revolving Commitment, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees
with respect to issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of
drawings thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders elect to increase the
interest rate on the Loans to the Default Interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c), the rate
per annum used to calculate the letter of credit fee pursuant to clause (i) above shall
automatically be increased to Level V as set forth in Schedule I, plus an additional 2% per
annum until the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(d) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each
Lender, an upfront fee in an amount equal to 1% of each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and each
Lender’s Revolving Commitment as of the Closing Date, which upfront fee shall be due and payable on
the Closing Date.

(e) Accrued fees under paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each July, October, January and April, commencing on July 31, 2009 and on the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date (and if later, the date the Loans and LC Exposure shall be
repaid in their entirety); provided further, that any such fees accruing after the
Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on demand.

(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such
period pursuant to Sections 2.14(b) and (c) (without prejudice to the rights of the
Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), or any amendment fees hereafter
offered to any Lender, and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.20
will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section.

 

37

 

Section 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring
in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of
days elapsed). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding
for all purposes.

Section 2.16. Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing or LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing,

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such
Interest Period, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that
either the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBOR Index Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders (or Lender, as the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining
their (or its, as the case may be) Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loans (as the case
may be) for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving
Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Revolving Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into
Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans
shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans in accordance with this Agreement.
Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before the date of
any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or LIBOR Index Rate Loan for which a Notice of Revolving
Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation has previously been given that it elects not to
borrow on such date, then such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.17. Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible
for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan or any LIBOR Index Rate Loan and such
Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or LIBOR Index Rate
Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index Rate
Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a
LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base

 

38

 

Rate Loan as part
of the same Revolving Borrowing for the same Interest
 Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan or LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing is then outstanding,
such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such LIBOR Index Rate Loan if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall
determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan or such LIBOR Index
Rate Loan (as the case may be) to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender
shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such
designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its
discretion.

Section 2.18. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate or
the LIBOR Index Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBOR Index Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

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

and the result of either of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or a LIBOR Index Rate Loan or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in or issuing any Letter of
Credit or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon
written notice from and demand by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of such notice and
demand to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender,
within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that on or after the date of this
Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital (or on the capital of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or
under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies or the
policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent corporation with respect to capital
adequacy), then, from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of
written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s parent
corporation for any such reduction suffered.

 

39

 

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section
2.18 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be
conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay any such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, such amount or amounts within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to
any Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Section 2.18 to the extent that any such amounts
arose more than 6 months prior to the date that the Borrower received the certificate contemplated
in Section 2.18(c).

Section 2.19. Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of
a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including
as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower
to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable
notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the
Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such
Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to
be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable
to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefore (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for
the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount
of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period
if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the
date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A
certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.19 submitted to the
Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

Section 2.20. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.21) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the case
may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

40

 

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank,
within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower
hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 2.20) and any penalties, interest and reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower, along with a
copy of the written notice issued by a Governmental Authority of demand or request for payment, by
a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 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 shall cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such
Taxes at the Borrower’s expense if so requested by the Borrower in writing.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time
or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall
have been purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received from the
Borrower hereunder are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or
business in the United States; or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form
thereto, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of
interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payment to the
Foreign Lender qualifies as “portfolio interest” exempt from U.S. withholding tax under

 

41

 

Code
section 871(h) or 881(c), and
 (B) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Code section
881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such
Foreign Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business,
within the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower
within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the Foreign Lender is not a
controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Code section
881(c)(3)(C); or (iv) such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to the Foreign
Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP. Each such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent such forms on or before the date that it becomes a party to this
Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the
related participation). In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly
upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each
such Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time
that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered
certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the Internal Revenue
Service for such purpose).

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by
the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to
the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses
of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided
that Borrower upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the
amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if the Administrative
Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
subsection (f) shall not be construed to (i) require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems, in its
sole discretion, to be confidential) to the Borrower or any Person or (ii) impose an obligation on
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for
which it has been indemnified by the Borrower, or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, unless otherwise requested by the Borrower in writing
pursuant to Section 2.20(c).

Section 2.21. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under
Sections 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Atlanta,
Georgia time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses,
rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of Indemnified or Other Taxes. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as
expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.19
and 2.20 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other
Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder
shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in
Dollars.

 

42

 

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied: first, to Administrative Agent’s reasonable and
documented out of pocket fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the
Loan Documents; second, to all reasonable and documented out of pocket fees, reimbursable
expenses of the Lenders and all fees and reimbursable expenses of the Issuing Bank then due and
payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank based
on their respective pro rata shares of such fees and expenses; third, to interest and fees
then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares
of such interest and fees; and fourth, to the payment of principal of the Loans and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such
parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Exposure, Term Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender with respect to its Revolving Credit Exposure or
Term Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans; provided, that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

43

 

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount or amounts due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.

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

Section 2.22. Letters of Credit.

(a) During the Availability Period, the Issuing Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the
other Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22(d), agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrower,
Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth; provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the date one
year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any renewal or
extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension); (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be
in a stated amount of at least $10,000, or such lesser amount as may be agreed to in writing by the
Issuing Bank; and (iii) the Borrower may not request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect
to such issuance (A) the aggregate LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or (B) the aggregate
Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount.
Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share (but only to the extent of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) of the aggregate
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance with respect to
all other Letters of Credit. Each issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the
Revolving Commitment of each Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.

(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or extension of
an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative
Agent irrevocable written notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of
such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be
issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of
Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and
such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of
Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III, the
issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter
of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such
form and contain such terms as the Issuing Bank shall approve and that the Borrower shall have
executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such
Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall reasonably require; provided, that in the event
of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this Agreement, the terms
of this Agreement shall control.

 

44

 

(c) At least two Business Days prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received such notice and if not, the Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent
with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent on
or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the Issuing Bank is to issue the
requested Letter of Credit (1) directing the Issuing Bank not to issue the Letter of Credit because
such issuance is not then permitted hereunder because of the limitations set forth in Section
2.22(a) or that one or more conditions specified in Article III are not then satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date,
issue such Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business
practices.

(d) The Issuing Bank shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has
made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay
in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders (but only to the extent of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) with
respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated
to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursements paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of such
drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind. Unless the Borrower shall
have notified the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such drawing in funds other than from the proceeds of
Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Revolving Borrowing
to the Administrative Agent requesting the Lenders (to the extent of each such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment) make a Base Rate Borrowing on the date on which such drawing is honored in an exact
amount due to the Issuing Bank; provided, that for purposes solely of such Borrowing, the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof shall not be applicable. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Borrowing in accordance with Section
2.3, and each Lender shall (but only to the extent of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitment)
make the proceeds of its Base Rate Loan included in such Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.6. The proceeds of
such Borrowing shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for such LC Disbursement.

 

45

 

(e) If for any reason a Base Rate Borrowing may not be (as determined in the sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, then each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank and only to the extent of each such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment) shall be obligated to fund the participation that such Lender
purchased pursuant to subsection (a) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such LC
Disbursement on and as of the date which such Base Rate Borrowing should have occurred. Except as
is otherwise set forth in this Section 2.22, each Lender’s obligation to fund its
participation shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including without limitation (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that
such Lender or any other Person may have against the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever, (ii) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or
any other Lender, (v) any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or (vi) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. On
the date that such participation is required to be funded, each applicable Lender shall promptly
transfer, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has
received from any such applicable Lender the funds for its participation in a LC Disbursement, the
Issuing Bank (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) receives any payment on account thereof,
the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will distribute to such
applicable Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment; provided, that if such payment is
required to be returned for any reason to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or similar official in any bankruptcy proceeding, such Lender will return to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank any portion thereof previously distributed by the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank to it.

(f) To the extent that any applicable Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid
pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay
interest to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) on such amount from such due date
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate;
provided, that if such Lender shall fail to make such payment to the Issuing Bank within
three (3) Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall be
obligated to pay interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 2.13(d).

(g) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the
Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the
deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account
with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 105% of the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided, that the obligation to deposit such
Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due
and payable, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with
respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 8.1. Such deposit shall
be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Borrower
agrees to execute any documents and/or certificates to effectuate the intent of this paragraph.
Other than any

 

46

 

interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent
and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and
profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for
which it had not been reimbursed and to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction
of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, with the consent of the Required Lenders, be applied to
satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If
the Borrower is required to provide an amount of Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not so applied as aforesaid) shall be
returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or
waived.

(h) Upon the request of any Lender, but no more frequently than quarterly, the Issuing Bank
shall deliver (through the Administrative Agent) to each Lender and the Borrower a report
describing the aggregate Letters of Credit then outstanding. Upon the request of any Lender from
time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Lender any other information reasonably
requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.

(i) The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following
circumstances:

(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this
Agreement;

(ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower may have at any time against a
beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for
whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender (including the
Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the
Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

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

(iv) Payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a
draft or other document to the Issuing Bank that does not comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit;

(v) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.22,
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Borrower’s obligations hereunder; or

(vi) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.

 

47

 

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any Related Party of any of the
foregoing shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication
under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes
beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed
to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any actual direct
damages (as opposed to special, indirect (including claims for lost profits or other consequential
damages), or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise due care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, that in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised due care in
each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to
be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its
sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept
and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms
of such Letter of Credit.

(j) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, (i) each standby Letter of Credit shall be
governed by the “International Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) (or such later revision as may be
published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice on any date any Letter of Credit
may be issued), (ii) each documentary Letter of Credit shall be governed by the Uniform Customs and
Practices for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication
No. 600 (or such later revision as may be published by the International Chamber of Commerce on any
date any Letter of Credit may be issued) and (iii) the Borrower shall specify the foregoing in each
letter of credit application submitted for the issuance of a Letter of Credit.

Section 2.23. Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time after May
19, 2010, Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (who
shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), propose to increase the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments and/or the Aggregate Term Loan Commitments by an amount not to exceed
$10,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement (the amount of any such increase,
the “Additional Commitment Amount”), provided, however, that (i) the sum of the Revolving
Commitment, plus the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans, plus all Additional
Commitment Amounts shall never exceed $32,000,000,
(ii) each Additional Commitment Amount shall be in a principal amount of not less than
$2,500,000 and (iii) each Additional Commitment Amount shall be subject to the specific use
restrictions with respect thereto that are set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement. Each Lender
shall have the right for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice

 

48

 

 to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase its Revolving Commitment and/or its
Term Loan Commitment (as the case may be) by a principal amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the
Additional Commitment Amount allocated in the Borrower’s request to an increase in the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments and/or Aggregate Term Loan Commitments, as applicable. No Lender (or any
successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment, its Term Loan
Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any
decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment or its Term Loan Commitment (as the case
may be) shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender. If any Lender
shall fail to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing about whether it will
increase its Revolving Commitment or its Term Loan Commitment (as the case may be) within 15 days
after receipt of such notice, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to increase its
Revolving Commitment or its Term Loan Commitment (as the case may be).

(b) If any Lender shall not elect to increase its Revolving Commitment or its Term Loan
Commitment (as the case may be) pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.23, the
Borrower may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be,
one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person
that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment or its Term Loan Commitment (as the
case may be) and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a
party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any new bank or financial
institution must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which acceptance will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Commitments and the
Term Loan Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Revolving
Commitments and the Term Loan Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate
exceed the unsubscribed amount of any applicable Additional Commitment Amount.

(c) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the Term Loan
Commitments (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall become effective upon
the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a supplement or joinder in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent executed by the Borrower, by each Additional Lender and by
each other Lender whose Revolving Commitment or Term Loan Commitment (as the case may be) is to be
increased, setting forth the new Revolving Commitments or Term Loan Commitment (as the case may be)
of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this
Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with Notes (if requested
pursuant to Section 2.10(b)) evidencing such increase in the Commitments, and such evidence of
appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increase in the
Revolving Commitments or the Term Loan Commitment (as the case may be) and such opinions of counsel
for the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Revolving Commitments or the Term Loan
Commitment (as the case may be) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

 

49

 

(d) Upon the acceptance of any such supplement or joinder by the Administrative Agent, the
Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the
Revolving Commitments added through such supplement or joinder and Schedule II shall
automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders after giving
effect to the addition of such Revolving Commitments. Likewise, upon the acceptance of any such
supplement or joinder by the Administrative Agent, the Term Loan Commitment Amount shall
automatically be increased by the amount of the Term Loan Commitments added through such supplement
or joinder, the Lenders will advance to Borrower such increased amount of Term Loans added through
such supplement or joinder in accordance with Section 2.5 and Schedule II shall
automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders after giving
effect to the addition of such Term Loan Commitments.

(e) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.23 that is not pro rata among all Lenders, (x) within five Business Days, in the
case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans and any LIBOR Index Rate Loans then
outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans in their entirety and, to the extent the Borrower
elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article III, the Borrower shall
reborrow Loans from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after
giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Loans are held by the Lenders in
proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase and (y) effective
upon such increase, the amount of the participations held by each Lender in each Letter of Credit
then outstanding shall be adjusted automatically such that, after giving effect to such
adjustments, the Lenders shall hold participations in each such Letter of Credit in proportion to
their respective Revolving Commitments.

(f) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Additional Commitment Amount comprised of
an increase in the Term Loan Commitment of each such Lender in fully-amortizing, quarterly
installments, computed from the date of any such Additional Commitment Amount through the Maturity
Date (the exact amounts of which, absent manifest error, shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion), on the dates set forth in Section 2.9(c) of this Agreement, and in
addition to the amounts more specifically set forth in Section 2.9(c) of this Agreement, provided,
that the initial amount of any such principal payment shall be due and payable at the end of the
first (1st) Fiscal Quarter immediately succeeding the date of any such Additional
Commitment Amount, to be calculated on a pro-rated basis for the number of days remaining in such
initial Fiscal Quarter (based upon a fully-amortizing computation through the Maturity Date).

Section 2.24. Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.18 or Section
2.20, as the case may
be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed out of pocket
cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower
hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

 

50

 

Section 2.25. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, or if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4(b))
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower
shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii)
in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.18 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply, and the Borrower shall not have
previously paid any amounts to such Lender under such Sections.

Section 2.26. Cash Collateralization of Defaulting Lender Commitment. If a Lender
becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall
apply with respect to any outstanding LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Issuing Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable
and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices
of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3 in such amounts and in such times as may be required
to reimburse an outstanding LC Disbursement;

(b) the Borrower will, not later than three (3) Business Days after demand by the
Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuing Bank), (a) Cash Collateralize a portion of
the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Bank equal to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
or (b) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuing Bank,
in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender;
provided that no such Cash Collateralization will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against
such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

 

51

 

(c) any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this
Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts)
will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be
retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the
termination of the Commitments at which time the funds in such account will be applied by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the following order of priority:
first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Issuing Bank under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default
interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting
Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to
them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders
hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to
them, fifth to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due and payable to the
Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and
payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the
Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such
Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

right, to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and other
intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect on the rights of any other Person.

(c) The properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and
reputable insurance companies which are not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts with such
deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar

the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement have been paid or accrued as a liability on
the books of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.14. Subsidiaries. Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name of, the
ownership interest of the Borrower in, the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of, and
the type of, each Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in

Subsidiary to, create or suffer to exist any obligations for the payment under operating leases or
agreements to lease (but excluding any obligations under leases required to be classified as
capital leases under GAAP having a term of five years or more) which would cause the present value
of the direct or contingent liabilities of the Consolidated Companies under such leases or
agreements to lease, on a consolidated basis, to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate in any Fiscal
Year.

Section 7.15. Government Regulation. The Borrower shall not (a) be or become subject

syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent.

(b) The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the
Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the Issuing Bank
with respect thereto; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall have all the benefits and immunities
(i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to
the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article
included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided
in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Bank.

Section 9.2. Nature of Duties of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 10.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its
sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided
in Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof
(which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of
Default” hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining
to such duties.

Section 9.3. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make
its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Agreement, any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.4. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent
shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions
(including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received
instructions from such Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any
Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent
acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required
Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.5. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it
orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.6. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The bank serving as
the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other
Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from
exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”,
“Required Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly
otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting
as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

 

77

 

Section 9.7. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders
and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint
a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrower provided that no Default
or Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall
be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof
or a bank which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $500,000,000.

(b) Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.7 no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on
such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become
effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in
respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative
Agent.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a
Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Bank effective at the close of business New York time on a
date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five Business Days after the date of
such notice); provided that such resignation by the Issuing Bank will have no effect on the
validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the
Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit
or otherwise to the Issuing Bank.

 

78

 

Section 9.8. 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 that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to
the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the 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.

Section 9.9. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any
Revolving Credit Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the
Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans or Revolving Credit Exposure and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Lenders, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent under Section
10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and

(b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Section 10.3.

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

 

79

 

Section 9.10. Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other
than this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Syndication Agent. Each Lender hereby designates The Private Bank and
Trust Company as Syndication Agent and agrees that the Syndication Agent shall have no duties or
obligations under any Loan Documents to any Lender or any Loan Party. In addition, each Lender
hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all title designations, both on the Closing Date and at
all times thereafter, shall be in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

other communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be
effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible
form by facsimile machine, respectively; provided, that notices delivered to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank shall not be effective until actually received

81

 

(ii) Any agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders herein
to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at
the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders
shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to
be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or
other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not
be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile
notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders of a
confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile notice.

(b) Electronic Communications.

(i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may
be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or
intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to
Article 2 unless such Lender, the Issuing Bank, as applicable, and Administrative
Agent have agreed to receive notices under such Section by electronic communication and have
agreed to the procedures governing such communications. Administrative Agent or Borrower
may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

address therefor.

Section 10.2. Waiver; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the

 

82

 

Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter
of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of
whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge
of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor
consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment
of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees
hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date
for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter
the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v)
change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders”
or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to
waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release all or substantially all of the
guarantors or limit the liability of all or substantially all of the guarantors under any guaranty
agreement, without the written consent of each Lender; (vii) release all or substantially all
collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations or agree to subordinate any Lien in such
collateral to any other creditor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, without the written consent of
each Lender; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank without
the prior written consent of such Person. 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. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement
may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender
shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such
Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.3), such Lender shall have no
other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal,
interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

 

83

 

Section 10.3. Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and
administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether
or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing
Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and
disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel) actually incurred by the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this
Section 10.3, or in connection with the Loans made or any Letters of Credit issued
hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each
Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and
documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys
who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any
Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or
proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand
for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence
or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to
have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) a claim
brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of
such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. No Indemnitee shall be
liable for any
damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through
Syntrak or any other Internet or intranet website, except as a result of such Indemnitee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
nonappealable judgment.

 

84

 

(c) The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of
the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other
similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any Collateral described
therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
delay or omission to pay such taxes.

(d) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

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

(f) All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor.

Section 10.4. Successors and Assigns.

(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 the
Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without

otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or

any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 (d) of this Section 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.

 

85

 

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Loans, and
other Revolving Credit Exposure at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

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

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and
Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment
is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and Revolving
Credit Exposure 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the
Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000,
unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans, other Revolving Credit Exposure or the
Commitments assigned.

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

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

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that
is not a Lender with a Commitment; and

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

 

86

 

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, (B) a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500, (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is
already a Lender and (D) the documents required under Section 2.20 if such assignee
is a Foreign Lender.

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c)
of this Section 10.4, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and
10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale
by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d)
of this Section 10.4. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required
hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment
thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business
Days after the date notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) to the Borrower, unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower
prior to such fifth Business Day.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta, Georgia a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Information
contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information
contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the
Register, Administrative Agent shall serve as Company’s agent solely for tax purposes and solely
with respect to the actions described in this Section, and the Borrower hereby agrees that,
to the extent SunTrust Bank serves in such capacity, SunTrust Bank and its officers, directors,
employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

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

(e) 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; 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 with respect to the following to the
extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce
the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or
interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the
amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or
reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv)
change Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section 10.4 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other
provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend
or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without
the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor
under any guaranty agreement without the written consent of each Lender except to the extent such
release is expressly provided under the terms of such guaranty agreement; or (vii) release all or
substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations. Subject to paragraph (e) of
this Section 10.4, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were
a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section
10.4. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.18 and Section 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.20(e) as though it were a
Lender.

 

88

 

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and be

applicable law, such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on

Document shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any other party hereto or
its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in paragraph
(b) of this Section 10.5 and brought in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section 10.5. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action
or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted

Section 10.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY,

Section 10.7. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender and the Issuing
Bank shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply
against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at
any time held or other obligations at any time owing by such Lender and the Issuing Bank to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, irrespective of whether such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall
have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender and the
Issuing Bank agree promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such
set-off and any application made by such Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be;
provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to apply all amounts collected
from any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or
other obligations owed by the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender or Issuing Bank.

Section 10.8. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed by one or
more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement, the Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter
agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates constitute
the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and their affiliates regarding the
subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, regarding such subject matters. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf form shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 10.9. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and

 

90

 

effect as long as
the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, and 10.3 and Article IX shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All
representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other
documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters
of Credit.

Section 10.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or
thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

Section 10.11. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of
any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses, to the extent designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, except that such information may be disclosed (i) to any Related Party of
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such Lender including without limitation
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any
regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iv) to the
extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 10.11, or which becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank,
any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11, to (A) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement, or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related
Parties) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by
reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (viii) any
rating agency, (ix) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, or (x) with the consent
of the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as
provided for in this Section 10.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

Section 10.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively,
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding
such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of
such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be
cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods
shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment (to the extent permitted
by applicable law), shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.13. Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. The Borrower represents and
warrants that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any requirement of law or regulation, agrees that
this Agreement is delivered by Borrower under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of
limitations that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other
Loan Documents.

Section 10.14. Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies
the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and
address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
