the Third Priority Obligations or (y) otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or
lapsed.

5

 

     (b) No Third Priority Secured Party shall object to or contest, or support any other Person
in contesting or objecting to, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency
Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority (as set forth herein) or enforceability of
any security interest in the Common Collateral granted to the Second Priority Secured Parties;
provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the
Second Priority Representative or the Second Priority Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement,
including the priority of the Liens as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any failure by
any Second Priority Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the Common Collateral or any
avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of
the security interests in the Common Collateral granted to the Second Priority Secured Parties, the
priority and rights as between the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured
Parties with respect to the Common Collateral shall be as set forth herein.

     2.2 Nature of Second Priority Obligations. Each Third Priority Representative, on
behalf of itself and the other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, acknowledges that the
amount of Second Priority Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may
be increased or reduced, and that the terms of the Second Priority Obligations may be modified,
extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the Second Priority
Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent
by the Third Priority Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof, whether or not
such obligations are permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Third Priority Documents. The lien
priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such
amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement,
renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the Second Priority Obligations or the Third Priority
Obligations, or any portion thereof.

     2.3 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) Each Third Priority
Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents,
agrees that UCC-1 financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or other filings or
recordings filed or recorded on behalf of the Third Priority Secured Parties shall be in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Second Priority Representative.

     (b) Each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Third Priority
Secured Parties it represents, agrees that all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds and similar
instruments (collectively, “mortgages”) now or thereafter filed against real property in favor of
and for the benefit of the Third Secured Parties shall be in form satisfactory to the Second
Priority Representative and shall contain the following notation (or such other notation acceptable
to the Second Priority Representative): “The lien created by this mortgage on the property
described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any mortgage,
deed of trust or similar instrument now or hereafter granted to the Second Priority Representative,
and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with the provisions of that certain
Intercreditor Agreement dated as of August 4, 2009 among Credit Suisse, as Second Priority
Representative, U.S. Bank National Association, as Third Priority Representative and the Loan
Parties referred to therein, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.”

     (c) The Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds,
or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the
Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the Second Priority Security Documents,
such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Third Priority Representatives and the
other Third Priority Secured Parties solely to the extent required to perfect their security
interest in such Common Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose
any duty on the Second Priority Representative (or any third party acting on its behalf) with
respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Third Priority Representatives or any other Third
Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those
specified in this Agreement and the Third Priority Security Documents, provided that
promptly subsequent to the occurrence of the Second Priority Obligations Payment Date, the Second
Priority Representative shall (i) deliver to the applicable Third Priority Representative, at the
direction of

6

 

the Second Priority Representative and the Third Priority Representative as is determined
between them in accordance with the this Agreement, at the Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense, the
Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the
extent required by the Third Priority Documents or (ii) direct and deliver such Common Collateral
as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs, and provided, further, that
the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as
between the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured Parties and shall not
impose on the Second Priority Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the disposition of any
Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Liens or any
claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured Party.

     2.4 No New Liens. So long as the Second Priority Obligations Payment Date has not
occurred, the parties hereto agree that (a) no Loan Party shall create or grant, nor shall any
Third Priority Secured Party have any right to require the creation of any Lien, on any assets of
any Loan Party securing any Third Priority Obligation if these same assets are not subject to, and
do not become subject to, a Lien securing the Second Priority Obligations and (b) if any Third
Priority Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any
Third Priority Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Second Priority Lien of the
Second Priority Representative under the Second Priority Documents, then such Third Priority
Representative, upon demand by the Second Priority Representative, will without the need for any
further consent of any other Third Priority Secured Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in any other Third Priority Document either (i) release such Lien or (ii) assign it to the Second
Priority Representative as security for the Second Priority Obligations (in which case such Third
Priority Representative may retain a Third Priority Lien on such assets subject to the terms
hereof). To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without
limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Second Priority Secured Parties, the Third
Priority Representatives and the other Third Priority Secured Parties agree that any amounts
received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in
contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

     SECTION 3. ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS.

     3.1 Exclusive Enforcement. Until the Second Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party,
the Second Priority Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any

of any Third Priority Secured Party, but subject to the provisos set forth in Sections 3.2 and 5.1.

defined in) the Second Priority Documents, the Second Priority Representative and the other Second

     (b) they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which

Liens with respect to the Second Priority Obligations or the Second Priority Secured Parties
with respect to any of the Common Collateral;

7

 

     (c) they will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any
manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an

other disposition of the Common Collateral by any Second Priority Secured Party or any other
Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) by or on
behalf of any Second Priority Secured Party;

or object to the exercise by the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority
Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or
pursuant to the Second Priority Security Documents or to the timing or manner in which any
such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right
described in this clause (c), whether as a Third lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby
irrevocably waive such right);

     (e) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit,
Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any Second Priority Secured
Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or
otherwise, with respect to, and no Second Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any Second Priority Secured Party with respect to the
Common Collateral or pursuant to the Second Priority Documents;

     (f) they will not make any judicial or nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any
judicial or non-judicial proceedings against any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates under or with respect to any Third Priority Security Document seeking payment or
damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise under
or with respect to any Third Priority Security Document (other than filing a proof of claim)
or exercise any right, remedy or power under or with respect to, or otherwise take any
action to enforce, other than filing a proof of claim, any Third Priority Security Document;

     (g) they will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with
respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for
or over, attempt any action to take possession of any Common Collateral, exercise any right,
remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce their interest in
or realize upon, the Common Collateral or pursuant to the Third Priority Security Documents;
and

     (h) they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Common Collateral or
any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Common
Collateral.

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Third Priority Secured Party may exercise
its rights and remedies in respect of the Common Collateral under and to the extent provided for in
the Third Priority Security Documents or applicable law (and any recovery therefrom shall be for
the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties) after the passage of a period of 270 days (the
“Standstill Period”) from the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the Second Priority
Representative of its intention to exercise such rights and remedies, which notice may only be
delivered following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an “Event of Default” under
and as defined in the Third Priority Agreements; provided, further, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Third Priority Secured Party exercise or
continue to exercise any such rights or remedies if, notwithstanding the expiration of the
Standstill Period, (i) any Second Priority Secured Party shall have commenced and be diligently
pursuing the exercise of any of its rights and remedies with respect to any of the Common
Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Third Priority Representatives) or
(ii) an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party shall have been commenced; and
provided, further, that in any Insolvency

8

 

Proceeding commenced by or against any Loan Party, the Third Priority Representatives and the Third
Priority Secured Parties may take only such actions as are expressly permitted by Section 5.

     3.3 Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Third Priority Secured Party becomes a
judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights
as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for
all purposes (including in relation to the Second Priority Liens and the Second Priority
Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Third Priority Obligations are
subject to the terms of this Agreement.

     3.4 Cooperation. Each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that each of them shall take such
actions as the Second Priority Representative shall reasonably request in connection with the
exercise by the Second Priority Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein.

     3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Third Priority Secured Party, contrary to this
Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the
Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the Second Priority Secured
Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any
Second Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name
or in the name of such Loan Party.

     (b) Should any Third Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take,
attempt to or threaten in writing to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral
(including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to
this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Second Priority Secured
Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may
obtain relief against such Third Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or
other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Third Priority
Representatives on behalf of each Third Priority Secured Party it represents that (i) the Second
Priority Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and
may be irreparable, and (ii) each Third Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan
Parties and/or the Second Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole
by the awarding of damages.

Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Common
Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Third
Priority Secured Party or liability to any Third Priority Secured Party.

     (b) Until the Second Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Second Priority
Representative will subject to the terms and provisions in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any
insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Loan Party (except that the Third Priority
Representative shall have the right to be named as additional insured and loss payee so long as its
second or third lien status, as applicable, is identified in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
the Second Priority Representative); (ii) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim
covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder in accordance with the terms of
the Second Priority Documents and (iii) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar
proceeding affecting the Common Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority
Documents.

     SECTION 5. INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS.

     5.1 Filing of Motions. Until the Second Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred, each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Third Priority
Secured Parties it represents, agrees that no Third Priority Secured Party shall, in or in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding involving any Loan Party, file any pleadings or motions,
take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action
whatsoever, in each case that (a) violates, or is prohibited by, this Section 5 (or, in the absence
of an Insolvency Proceeding, otherwise would violate or be prohibited by this Agreement), (b)
asserts any right, benefit or privilege that arises in favor of the Third Priority Representatives
or Third Priority Secured Parties, in whole or in part, as a result of their interest in the Common
Collateral or in the Third Priority Liens (unless the assertion of such right is expressly
permitted by this Agreement) or (c) challenges the validity, priority, enforceability or
voidability of any Liens or claims held by the Second Priority Representative or any other Second
Priority Secured Party, or

10

 

the extent to which the Second Priority Obligations constitute secured claims under Section
506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that the Third Priority
Representatives may file a proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Loan Party,
subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and
the limitations on the Third Priority Representatives imposed hereby.

     5.2 Financing Matters. If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency
Proceeding, and if the Second Priority Representative or any of the other Second Priority Secured
Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code
or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object)
to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such financing, “DIP
Financing”), then each Third Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other
Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, that each Third Priority Secured Party (a) will be
deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to,
the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) will not request or accept adequate
protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP
Financing except as set forth in paragraph 5.4 below and (c) will subordinate (and will be deemed
hereunder to have subordinated) the Third Priority Liens (i) to such DIP Financing on the same
terms as the Second Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter
in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any adequate protection provided to the Second
Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Second Priority
Representative or the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and (d) agrees that notice received
two calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or
approving such financing shall be adequate notice.

     5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. Each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself and the other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that none of them will
seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any
action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior
written consent of the Second Priority Representative.

     5.4 Adequate Protection. Each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and
the other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that none of them shall object,
contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (a) any request by the Second
Priority Representative or the other Second Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or any
adequate protection provided to the Second Priority Representative or the other Second Priority
Secured Parties or (b) any objection by the Second Priority Representative or any other Second
Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of
adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the Second
Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in
Section 5.2(b) (but subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3), in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the Second Priority
Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional
collateral (with replacement liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in
connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, and the Second Priority Secured
Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to them, then in connection with
any such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself and any of the Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, may seek or accept adequate
protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral,
subordinated to the Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on the
same basis as the other Liens securing the Third Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the
Second Priority Obligations under this Agreement and (y) superpriority claims junior in all
respects to the superpriority claims granted to the Second Priority Secured Parties,
provided, however, that each Third Priority Representatives shall have irrevocably
agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Third
Priority Secured Parties it represents, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate
protection, that such

11

 

junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of
cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the
allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event either Third Priority Representative, on behalf
of itself and the Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, seeks or accepts adequate
protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is granted in the form
of additional collateral, then each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees that the Second Priority Representative
shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Second
Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral
securing the Third Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral
securing the Second Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating
thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Second Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection,
with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Third Priority
Obligations are subordinated to such Second Priority Obligations under this Agreement. Each Third
Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Third Priority Secured Parties it
represents agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Section none of them shall seek or
accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Representative.

     5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any Second Priority Secured Party is required in any
Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any
Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason,
including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any
amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of
set-off or otherwise, then the Second Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of
such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Second
Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall
have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and
effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise
affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Third Priority Secured Parties agree that none
of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to
any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or
otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise
allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the
priorities set forth in this Agreement.

     5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. No Third Priority Representative
nor any other Third Priority Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose
any sale or disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by any of the Second
Priority Secured Parties, and the Third Priority Representatives and each other Third Priority
Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and
otherwise) to any sale supported by any of the Second Priority Secured Parties and to have released
their Liens on such assets.

     5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Third Priority
Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Second Priority
Security Documents and the Third Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct
grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common
Collateral, the Third Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the Second Priority
Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in
an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Second Priority Secured
Parties and Third Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one
secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and Third secured claims), then the Third
Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if
there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect
of the Common Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the
Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the

12

 

Third Priority Secured Parties), the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest
and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is
made in respect of the claims held by the Third Secured Priority Secured Parties. The Third
Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to the Second Priority Secured
Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the
intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or
recovery of the Third Priority Secured Parties.

     5.8 No Waivers of Rights of Second Priority Secured Parties. Except as set forth in
the proviso in Section 5.1, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Second
Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Third Priority Secured Party, including the
seeking by any Third Priority Secured Party of adequate protection (except as provided in Section
5.4) or the asserting by any Third Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under
the Third Priority Documents or otherwise.

     5.9 Plans of Reorganization. No Third Priority Secured Party shall support or vote in
favor of any plan of reorganization (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any plan of
reorganization) unless such plan (a) pays off, in cash in full, all Second Priority Obligations or
(b) is accepted by the class of holders of Second Priority Obligations voting thereon and is
supported by the Second Priority Representative.

     5.10 Other Matters. To the extent that a Third Priority Representative or any Third
Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code with respect to any of the Common Collateral, each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself and the other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, agrees not to assert any of such
rights without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Representative unless expressly
permitted to do so hereunder; provided that if requested by the Second Priority
Representative, the Third Priority Representatives shall timely exercise such rights in the manner
requested by the Second Priority Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of
such rights.

     5.11 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties
hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.

     SECTION 6. THIRD PRIORITY DOCUMENTS AND SECOND PRIORITY DOCUMENTS.

     (a) Each Loan Party and each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Third
Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or
other modification to any of the Third Priority Documents that would conflict with or violate this
Agreement.

     (b) Each Loan Party and the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any
amendment or other modification to any of the Second Priority Documents that would conflict with or
violate this Agreement.

     (c) In the event the Second Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or
consent in respect of any of the Second Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to,
or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Second
Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then
such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the
Comparable Third Priority Security Document without the consent of or action by any Third Priority
Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof);
provided that (other than with

13

 

respect to amendments, modifications or waivers that secure additional extensions of credit
and add additional secured creditors and do not violate the express provisions of the Third
Priority Agreements), (a) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing
assets subject to the Lien of any Third Priority Security Document, except to the extent that a
release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.2 and provided there is a corresponding release of
the Lien securing the Second Priority Obligations, (b) any such amendment, waiver or consent that
materially and adversely affects the rights of the Third Priority Secured Parties and does not
affect the Second Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the Third
Priority Security Documents without the consent of the Third Priority Representatives and (c)
notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Third Priority Representatives no
later than 30 days after its effectiveness, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

     SECTION 7. RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC.

     7.1 Reliance. The Second Priority Documents are deemed to have been executed and
delivered, and all extensions of credit thereunder are deemed to have been made or incurred, in
reliance upon this Agreement. Each Third Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Third Priority Secured Parties it represents, expressly waives all notice of the acceptance
of and reliance on this Agreement by the Second Priority Secured Parties. The Third Priority
Documents are deemed to have been executed and delivered and all extensions of credit thereunder
are deemed to have been made or incurred, in reliance upon this Agreement. The Second Priority
Representative expressly waives all notices of the acceptance of and reliance by the Third Priority
Representatives and the other Third Priority Secured Parties.

     7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The Third Priority Representatives and the Second
Priority Representative acknowledge and agree that none has made any representation or warranty
with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability
of any other Second Priority Document or any Third Priority Document. Except as otherwise provided
in this Agreement, the Third Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Representative will
be entitled to manage and supervise their respective extensions of credit to any Loan Party in
accordance with law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate.

     7.3 No Waivers. No right or benefit of any party hereunder shall at any time in any
way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of such party or any other
party hereto or by any noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms and conditions of any of the
Second Priority Documents or the Third Priority Documents.

     SECTION 8. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.

     8.1 Second Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Second
Priority Secured Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Third Priority
Secured Parties (and, to the extent applicable, the Loan Parties) hereunder, shall remain in full
force and effect irrespective of:

     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Second Priority Document or any
Second Priority Liens;

     (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any portion of the Second Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other
modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement,
refunding or restatement of any Second Priority Document;

14

 

     (c) prior to the Second Priority Obligations Payment Date, any exchange, release,
voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Common Collateral or
any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by
course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of
all or any portion of the Second Priority Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof;
or

     (d) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, any Loan Party in respect of the Second Priority Obligations, or of any of
the Third Priority Representatives, or any Loan Party, to the extent applicable, in respect
of this Agreement (other than payment in full).

     8.2 Third Priority Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Third
Priority Secured Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Second Priority
Secured Parties (and, to the extent applicable, the Loan Parties) hereunder, shall remain in full
force and effect irrespective of:

     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Third Priority Document or any Third
Priority Liens;

     (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any portion of the Third Priority Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other
modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement,
refunding or restatement of any Third Priority Document;

     (c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security
interest in any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver
or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing,
replacement, refunding or restatement of all or any portion of the Third Priority
Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

     (d) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, any Loan Party in respect of the Third Priority Obligations or any Second
Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement (other than payment in full).

     SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

     9.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and the provisions of any Second Priority Document or any Third Priority Document, the provisions
of this Agreement shall govern.

     9.2 Continuing Nature of Provisions. This Agreement shall continue to be effective,
and shall not be revocable by any party hereto, until the Second Priority Obligation Payment Date
shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement and the Second Priority Secured Parties and
the Third Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other
parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide
indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, Borrower or any other Loan Party on the faith hereof.

     9.3 Amendments; Waivers. (a) No amendment or modification of any of the provisions
of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Second
Priority Representative, the Third Priority Representatives and the Borrowers.

     (b) It is understood that the Second Priority Representative, the Second Priority
Representative and the Third Priority Representative, without the consent of any other Second

appropriate to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations (“Additional Debt”)
of any of the Loan Parties become Second Priority Obligations or Third Priority Obligations, as the
case may be, under this Agreement, which supplemental agreement shall specify whether such
Additional Debt constitutes Second Priority Obligations or Third Priority Obligations,
provided, that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred by the Second Priority
Agreement, the Second Priority Agreement and the Third Priority Agreement then extant, and is
permitted by said Agreements to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as Second Priority
Obligations or Third Priority Obligations, as applicable.

     9.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the other Loan
Parties. Each of the Third Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Representative
hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Company
and each of the other Loan Parties and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment

Representatives and the Second Priority Representative hereby agree that no party shall have any
duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such
circumstances. In the event the Third Priority Representatives or the Second Priority
Representative, in their sole discretion, undertake at any time or from time to time to provide any
information to any other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide
any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to
undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any
other information.

     9.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the law of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law
and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.

     9.6 Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) Each Second Priority Secured Party, each Third
Priority Secured Party and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for
itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in

action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the State of
New York or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each such party agrees that a
final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the any Second Priority Secured Party or Third Priority
Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     9.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of each of the parties hereto and each of the Second Priority Secured Parties and Third
Priority Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing herein is
intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or

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

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

     9.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in

constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

knowledge related thereto and will not be required to refer to any such agreements for any reason
whatsoever.

     (a) Term Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to continue such Lender’s Term Advance to the
Borrower on the Effective Date (or to convert, as of the Effective Date, from revolving
loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility to part of the Term Advance of such
Lender hereunder, as applicable), in an aggregate amount equal to such Lender’s Term
Commitment as set forth on Schedule 1.01-1 (provided, that, for purposes of clarification,
all amounts of such Lender’s Term Commitment hereunder in excess of the amount of such
Lender’s commitment with respect to term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement
constitutes the amount of such Lender’s outstanding revolving loans under the Existing
Credit Agreement that are hereby converted to Term Advances hereunder). No amount of any
Term Advance that has been repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed. Term Advances may, at the
Borrower’s option, be either Adjusted Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances;
provided, however that any Term Advances made on the Effective Date shall be Adjusted Base
Rate Advances.

     (b) Revolving Advances. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Lender severally agrees at any time and from time to time on any Business Day
up to fifteen (15) days prior to the Maturity Date to make Revolving Advances;
provided that Revolving Advances shall not be made (or be required to be made) by
any Lender on any date if, after giving effect thereto, (i) such Lender’s Revolving Share of
the Revolving Exposure would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment at such time as set
forth on Schedule 1.01-1, or (ii) the Revolving Exposure would exceed the aggregate
Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at such time. Within the limits of each Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, the Borrower may from time to time prepay Revolving Advances pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2.07 and reborrow Revolving Advances under this Section
2.01(b). Revolving Advances may, at the Borrower’s option, be either Adjusted Base Rate

Advance”). The Lenders shall not be required to fund any portion of the PIK Accrual
Advances (as such PIK Accrual Advances represent accrued and unpaid obligations of the
Borrower hereunder) and shall not have any continuing commitments with respect to such PIK
Accrual Advances or the PIK Obligations. The Lenders’ respective shares of the PIK
Obligations from time to time outstanding shall be equal to that portion of the interest
constituting the PIK Accrual Advances from time to time added to the PIK Obligations that is
allocable to the outstanding Advances of such Lender (whether related to the Revolving
Advances, Term Advances or prior PIK Accrual Advances of or allocable to such Lender). No
amount of any PIK Accrual Advance that has been repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed. The
repayment of PIK Accrual Advances added to the PIK Obligations from time to time shall be
absolute obligations of the Borrower hereunder and the Borrower shall be responsible for the
repayment of all PIK Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof. PIK Accrual Advances
shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances and bear interest as specifically set forth for such PIK
Accrual Advances in the definition of the term “Eurodollar Rate.”

Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section
2.06(a)(ii). With respect to all Advances (other than in respect of PIK Accrual
Advances), each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) on the
date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.02, or
such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the
Lenders, in same day funds, such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as
applicable, of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such
funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III,
the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at its
account with the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may for Adjusted Base Rate
Advances requested on the Effective Date only request that such Advances be made on
the same day as the Notice of Borrowing, provided that such Notice of
Borrowing shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the
Effective Date. If such Notice of Borrowing on the Effective Date is delivered to
the Administrative Agent by such time, (A) the Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender who is obligated to fund an Advance under such Notice of
Borrowing of such Notice of Borrowing not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York
time) on the Effective Date and (B) each Lender shall, before 3:00 p.m. (New York,
New York time) on the Effective Date, make available for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 10.02, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by
notice to the Lenders, in same day funds, such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term
Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing.

     (b) Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect to Convert or continue
Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under this Section, the Borrower shall
deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at
the Administrative Agent’s office no later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) (i) on
the date which is at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion or
continuation date in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of a Borrowing comprised
of Eurodollar Rate Advances and (ii) on the Business Day prior to the proposed conversion
date in the case of a Conversion to a Borrowing comprised of Adjusted Base Rate Advances.
Each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telecopier,
specifying (i) the requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business
Day), (ii) the Borrowing amount, Type and Class of the Advances to be Converted or
continued, (iii) whether a Conversion or continuation is requested, and if a Conversion,
into what Type of Advances, and (iv) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of,
Eurodollar Rate Advances, the requested Interest Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice
of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall provide
each Lender with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Advances, notify each Lender of the applicable interest rate under Section
2.06(a)(ii). If the Borrower shall fail to specify an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate
Advance including the continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Adjusted Base Rate Advance.

     (c) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above:

     (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, each Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount of not less than $500,000 or greater multiples of $100,000;

29

 

     (ii) in the case of Adjusted Base Rate Advances, each Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount of not less than $500,000 or greater multiples of $100,000;

     (iii) the Borrower may not request Borrowings on more than four (4) days in any
calendar month;

     (iv) at no time shall there be more than five (5) Interest Periods applicable
to outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances;

     (v) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing to
be made, Converted or continued if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (vi) if any Lender shall, at any time prior to the making of any requested
Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, notify the Administrative Agent
that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental
authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending
Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances, then such Lender’s
Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing shall be made as an
Adjusted Base Rate Advance, provided that such Adjusted Base Rate Advance
shall be considered part of the same Borrowing and interest on such Adjusted Base
Rate Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the
Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and
payable; and such Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid
the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such
Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender;

     (vii) if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the applicable
Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the
right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for
any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension
no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be an Adjusted
Base Rate Advance;

     (viii) if the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date
of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the Applicable
Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or funding their respective
Eurodollar Rate Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the right of the
Borrower to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent
Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be an Adjusted Base Rate
Advance; and

     (ix) if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or continuation of any
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions
contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and paragraph (a)
or (b) above, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the
Lenders and such Advances will be made available to the Borrower on the date of such
Borrowing as Adjusted Base Rate Advances or, if an existing Advance, Converted into
Adjusted Base Rate Advances.

     (d) Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion or
Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing
which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, out-of-pocket cost or
expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any condition precedent for Borrowing set
forth in Article III not being satisfied for any reason,

30

 

including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund
the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a
result of such failure, is not made on such date.

     (e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender before the date of any Borrowing relating to the Revolving
Commitments or Term Commitments that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of the
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made its Revolving Share
or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the
date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower
on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have
so made its Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of such Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to immediately repay to
the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such
amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower,
the interest rate applicable on each such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii)
in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. If such Lender shall
repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and interest as provided above,
such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same day as the other
Advances comprising such Borrowing.

     (f) Lender Obligations Several. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance
to be made by it as part of any Borrowing constituting a Revolving Advance or Term Advance
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the
date of such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender
to make any Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

     (g) Notes. The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative
Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Advances, Term Advances or PIK
Accrual Advances, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit
A-1, A-2 or A-3, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions as to date and, if
applicable, principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a
condition precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of Advances.

     Section 2.03 Fees.

     (a) Unused Fees. For the period from the Effective Date until the Maturity
Date the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
(other than a Defaulting Lender) an unused fee on the average daily amount by which such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment exceeds the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Share of the
Revolving Exposure at a rate per annum equal to the Unused Fee Rate (computed on the actual
number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based upon a 360-day
year). Such fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the date which is
fifteen (15) days following the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and (ii) on the
Maturity Date.

     (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders), fees in respect of all
Letters of Credit outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin in effect
with respect to the Eurodollar Rate Advances (computed on the actual number of days elapsed,
including the first day and excluding the last, based upon a 360-day year) on the average
daily amount of the aggregate undrawn maximum amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding,
payable in arrears (i) on the date which is fifteen (15) days following the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter and (ii) on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower
agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fee on the daily amount of the
aggregate undrawn maximum face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by the

31

 

Borrower and the Issuing Bank, such fees due and payable quarterly in arrears on the
date which is fifteen (15) days following the last day of each fiscal quarter and (ii) on
the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for its
own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and
other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit that
from time to time are in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due
and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

     (c) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for its benefit the fees set forth in the Fee Letter for acting as
Administrative Agent, as and when the same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of the
Fee Letter.

     Section 2.04 Reduction of the Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least
three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently terminate in whole
or permanently reduce ratably in part the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders; provided,
however, that (a) each partial reduction shall either be (i) in the aggregate amount of not
less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (2) in an amount
equal to the remainder of the Revolving Commitments and (b) no such reduction shall result in an
overdraft status as provided in Section 2.07(c)(v).

     Section 2.05 Repayment of Obligations; Maturity Date.

     (a) Repayment of Obligations. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding
principal amount of each Advance, all accrued interest thereon and all of the other
then-outstanding Obligations on the Maturity Date, as extended from time to time in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.05.

     (b) Initial Maturity Date. Subject to extension pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 2.05 and subject to the
provisions otherwise set forth in this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall, on March 9, 2010
(the “Initial Maturity Date”), cause the Obligations (including, without limitation,
all outstanding Term Advances, Revolving Advances, PIK Obligations and all fees, costs and
expenses due and owing under the Credit Documents) to be Fully Satisfied.

     (c) First Extended Maturity Date Option. Not more than 90 days and not less
than 30 days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the Borrower may notify the Lenders in
writing that the Borrower intends to extend the term of this Agreement to March 9, 2011 (the
end of such period being the “First Extended Maturity Date”); provided, that
the Borrower’s right to such extension shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following
requirements:

     (i) at the Initial Maturity Date, there shall not exist any Default or Event of
Default (including, without limitation, under the mandatory prepayment provisions
set forth in Section 2.07(c)(iv) hereof);

     (ii) the representations and warranties contained herein and the other Credit
Documents, as such representations and warranties may change based upon events or
activities permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Documents, are true and
correct in all material respects (to the extent not otherwise qualified by
materiality) on and as of the Initial Maturity Date; and

     (iii) the Borrower shall, at the Initial Maturity Date, deliver to the
Administrative Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their
respective shares of the Aggregate Facility Amount) an extension fee equal to one
half of one percent (0.50%) of the then-existing Aggregate Facility Amount.

     (d) Second Extended Maturity Date Option. Not more than 90 days and not less
than 30 days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, the Borrower may notify the Lenders
in writing that the Borrower intends to extend the term of this Agreement to March 9, 2012
(the end of such period being the “Second Extended Maturity Date”);
provided, that the Borrower’s right to such extension shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following requirements:

32

 

     (i) at the First Extended Maturity Date, there shall not exist any Default or
Event of Default (including, without limitation, under the mandatory prepayment
provisions set forth in Section 2.07(c)(iv) hereof);

     (ii) the representations and warranties contained herein and the other Credit
Documents, as such representations and warranties may change based upon events or
activities permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Documents, are true and
correct in all material respects (to the extent not otherwise qualified by
materiality) on and as of the First Extended Maturity Date; and

     (iii) the Borrower shall, at the First Extended Maturity Date, deliver to the
Administrative Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their
respective shares of the Aggregate Facility Amount) an extension fee equal to one
half of one percent (0.50%) of the then-existing Aggregate Facility Amount.

     (e) Satisfaction of Obligations Upon Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary, to the extent any of the
Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall, immediately
upon the occurrence of such acceleration, cause such accelerated Obligations to be Fully
Satisfied.

     (f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.05 shall supersede any provisions
contained elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary.

     Section 2.06 Interest, Late Payment Fee.

     (a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from
the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following
rates per annum:

     (i) Adjusted Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is an Adjusted Base
Rate Advance, a rate per annum (computed in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) equal
at all times to the lesser of (A) the Adjusted Base Rate in effect from time to time
plus the Applicable Margin and (B) the Maximum Rate, provided that
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Adjusted Base Rate Advances shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (Y) the rate
required to be paid on such Advance had such Event of Default not occurred
plus two percent (2%) and (Z) the Maximum Rate. Such interest accrued on
Adjusted Base Rate Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of
each calendar month and on the date such Adjusted Base Rate Advance is paid in full.

     (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. If such Advance is

     (A) a Eurodollar Rate Advance relating to a Revolving Advance or a Term
Advance, a rate per annum (computed in accordance with Section 2.10(b))
equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the lesser
of (1) the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Advance for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin and (2) the Maximum Rate;
provided, however that during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal at all times to the lesser of (1) the rate required to be paid on such
Advance had such Event of Default not occurred plus two percent (2%)
and (2) the Maximum Rate. Such interest accrued on Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period, and on
the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be paid in full, and, with
respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances having an Interest Period in excess of
thirty (30) days, the first Business Day of each calendar month during such
Interest Period excluding the month in which such Eurodollar Rate Advance
shall be paid in full; or

33

 

     (B) a Eurodollar Rate Advance relating to any Accrued PIK Advance
(which shall include all of the then-outstanding PIK Obligations), a rate
per annum (computed in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) equal to the lesser
of (1) the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Advance plus the
Applicable Margin and (2) the Maximum Rate; provided,
however that during the continuance of an Event of Default,
Eurodollar Rate Advances relating to any Accrued PIK Advance shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (1) the
rate required to be paid on such Advance had such Event of Default not
occurred plus two percent (2%) and (2) the Maximum Rate. All such
interest accrued pursuant to this item (B) shall be periodically added to
the PIK Obligations in accordance with Section 2.01(c) hereof and be payable
as of the Maturity Date together with all other PIK Obligations in
accordance with Section 2.05 hereof.

     (b) PIK Interest. Regardless of whether an Advance is an Adjusted Base Rate
Advance or a Eurodollar Rate Advance, all Advances shall, in addition to the interest
payable pursuant to subclauses (a)(i) and (ii) above, bear interest at a per annum rate
equal to the then-applicable PIK Rate. All such interest, whether accrued with respect to
the Revolving Advances, the Term Advances or the PIK Obligations, shall be added to the PIK
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.01(c) hereof and be payable as of the Maturity Date
together with all other PIK Obligations in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof.

     (c) Usury Recapture. In the event the rate of interest chargeable under this
Agreement or the Notes at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal
amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of
interest paid or accrued on the Notes equals the amount of interest which would have been
paid or accrued on the Notes if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had
at all times been in effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Notes, the total
amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes is less
than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of
interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the
amount of interest which would have been charged on the Notes if the Maximum Rate had, at
all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
Notes if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect
and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement on the Notes.
In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the
Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of the Notes, and if no such principal is then
outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.

     (d) Other Amounts Overdue. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, if any
amount payable under this Agreement other than the Advances is not paid when due and
payable, including without limitation, accrued interest and fees, then such overdue amount
shall accrue interest hereon due and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the
Adjusted Base Rate plus two percent (2%), from the date such amount became due until
the date such amount is paid in full.

     (e) Late Payment Fee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11, if any
interest payable under this Agreement is not paid when due and payable (after taking into
account any applicable grace period), then the Borrower will pay to the Lenders
contemporaneously with the payment of such past due interest a late payment fee equal to an
amount equal to the product of (i) such overdue interest times (ii) two percent
(2%).

     Section 2.07 Prepayments.

     (a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal
amount of any Advance except as provided in this Section 2.07.

34

 

     (b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may elect to prepay any of the Advances
(subject to the restrictions set forth below), after giving by 12:00 noon (New York, New
York time) (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, at least three (3) Business Days’,
or (ii) in case of Adjusted Base Rate Advances, at least one (1) Business Day’s prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent, stating the proposed date and aggregate
principal amount of such prepayment, and if applicable, the relevant Interest Period for the
Advances to be prepaid. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, and shall also pay accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to
be paid pursuant to Sections 2.07(c)(iii) or 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made
on such date; provided, however, that (A) each partial prepayment shall be
in an aggregate principal amount not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of
$100,000, (B) prepayments made under this Section 2.07(b) may be applied to outstanding Term
Advances or outstanding Revolver Advances at the discretion of the Borrower and (C) no
prepayment of the PIK Obligations may be made unless the outstanding balance of both the
Revolving Advances and the Term Advances have been reduced to zero as of the date of such
prepayment.

     (c) Mandatory Prepayments.

     (i) Excess Cash Flow Term Prepayments. Within thirty (30) days
following the end of each calendar quarter, the Borrower shall make a payment
against the outstanding principal balance of the Term Advances in an amount equal to
(A) all Excess Free Cash Flow for such calendar quarter, less (B) the amount
necessary to provide the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with $6,500,000 (or, to the
extent (x) the Borrower has made at least $45,000,000 in aggregate principal
payments against the outstanding principal balance of the Term Advances since the
Effective Date and (y) at such time the Borrower is not in a Rate Increase Period,
$10,000,000) of cash working capital as of the end of such calendar quarter.

     (ii) Excess Cash Flow Revolver Prepayments. Immediately following any
prepayment of the Term Advances required pursuant to clause (c)(i) above for a given
calendar quarter, the Borrower shall prepay any outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Advances (and, thereafter, cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit
Exposure) in an amount equal to (A) all Excess Free Cash Flow for such calendar
quarter, less (B) the amount necessary to provide the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
with $6,500,000 (or, to the extent (x) the Borrower has made at least $45,000,000 in
aggregate principal payments against the outstanding principal balance of the Term
Advances since the Effective Date and (y) at such time the Borrower is not in a Rate
Increase Period, $10,000,000) of cash working capital as of the end of such calendar
quarter; less (C) the amount of such Excess Free Cash Flow used to repay Term
Advances pursuant to clause (c)(i) above.

     (iii) Repayment Events. In addition to the prepayments required
pursuant to clauses (c)(i) and (ii) above, upon the occurrence of any Repayment
Event, the Borrower shall prepay Advances on the next Business Day after the Net
Cash Proceeds from such Repayment Event are received by the Borrower or the Parent
or one of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, in an amount equal to the
lesser of (A) the amount of the outstanding Advances on such Business Day and (B)
the Repayment Amount for such Repayment Event. Prepayments made pursuant to this
clause (c)(iii) shall be applied (A) first, to outstanding Term Advances (and
accrued Current Pay Interest related thereto), (B) second, to outstanding PIK
Obligations (and accrued Current Pay Interest related thereto), (C) third, to
accrued PIK Interest on all Advances and (C) fourth, to Revolving Advances (and
accrued Current Pay Interest related thereto) and, thereafter, to the cash
collateralization of outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure.

     (iv) Additional Required Term Prepayments. Regardless of whether any
prepayments of the Term Advances are from time to time required pursuant to clauses
(c)(ii) and (iii) above, the Borrower shall make aggregate principal payments
(counting any payments made pursuant to such clauses (c)(i) and (iii) above) against
the outstanding Term Advances: (A) on or prior to March 9, 2010 in an aggregate
amount (counting all such payments made since the

35

 

Effective Date) equal to or greater than $20,000,000; and (B) on or prior to
March 9, 2011 in an aggregate amount (counting all such payments made since the
Effective Date) equal to or greater than $40,000,000; provided, that proceeds
derived from Repayment Events relating to the financing or refinancing of owned
assets of the Borrower shall account for no more than $20,000,000 of the prepayments
required pursuant to items (A) and (B) above (though the Borrower shall be required
to make such prepayments to the extent otherwise required herein regardless of
whether they are counted for purposes of the calculations related to this clause
(c)(iv)).

     (v) Overdraft. On any date on which the Revolving Exposure exceeds the
aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower agrees to make a prepayment of the
Revolving Advances in the amount of such excess, and if all the Revolving Advances
have been then repaid, then to deposit with the Administrative Agent into the Cash
Collateral Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Letter of Credit
Exposure or (B) the amount of such excess less the amount of Revolving Advances then
repaid.

     (vi) Accrued Interest. Except as specifically noted above, each
prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be accompanied by accrued Current
Pay Interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if
any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment
being made on such date. Accrued PIK Interest with respect to the prepaid amount
shall be added to the then-outstanding PIK Obligations.

     (vii) Avoidance of Breakage Costs. In the event that the amount of any
mandatory prepayment of Advances under this Section 2.07(c) exceeds the aggregate
principal amount of Advances which consist of Adjusted Base Rate Advances (the
amount of such excess being the “Excess Amount”), the Borrower shall have
the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to prepay such outstanding
Advances which are Adjusted Base Rate Advances and to deposit an amount equal to the
Excess Amount with the Administrative Agent in the Cash Collateral Account
maintained by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Any amount so deposited shall be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for the Obligations, earn interest on behalf of
the Borrower and be applied to the prepayment of Advances which are Eurodollar Rate
Advances at the end of the current Interest Period(s) applicable thereto (if any).
On any day on which amounts collected in the Cash Collateral Account remain on
deposit in or to the credit of the Cash Collateral Account after giving effect to
the payment made on such day pursuant to this Section 2.07(c), and the Borrower
shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written request or a telephonic
request (which shall be promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 12:00 noon (New
York, New York time) that such remaining collected amounts be invested in cash
equivalents specified in such request, the Administrative Agent shall invest such
funds, to the extent the Administrative Agent is reasonably able to do so, in such
cash equivalents as are acceptable to, and with no risk to, the Administrative Agent
on an overnight basis or with maturities such that amounts will be available to pay
the Obligations secured thereby as they become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise; provided, however, that any loss
resulting from such investments shall be charged to and be immediately payable by
the Borrower on demand by the Administrative Agent.

     (viii) Repayment of Revolving Advances. Any mandatory repayments of
Revolving Advances pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be applied (A) if no
Default or Event of Default exists, then to Revolving Advances comprising the same
Borrowing or Borrowings, at the Borrower’s option, and (B) if a Default or Event of
Default exists, then to all Revolving Advances pro rata based upon the amount of
outstanding Revolving Advances.

     (d) Ratable Payments. Each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section
2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all
Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part.

36

 

     (e) Effect of Notice. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be
irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.

     (f) Payments with respect to Liens on an Owned Hospitality Property.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary,
except in connection with the release of Liens on an Owned Hospitality Property contemplated
by the provisions of Section 5.09, each payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07
or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Advances
secured by a Lien on an Owned Hospitality Property shall be deemed the last Advances repaid.

     Section 2.08 Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate
Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period (if any) for such Advance as a
result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes
pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise; (b) any Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made
other than on the last day of the Interest Period (if any) for such Advance pursuant to Section
2.02(b) or Section 2.12 or otherwise; or (c) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest
payment with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance on the date such payment is due and payable,
the Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of any written demand sent by any Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
any amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of breakage costs)
required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, out-of-pocket costs or expenses which
it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation,
any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

     Section 2.09 Increased Costs.

     (a) Eurodollar Rate Advances. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (except with respect to Taxes or
Other Taxes) following the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline
or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law) not complied with prior to the date of this Agreement, there shall be any
increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such
Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), immediately pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts (without duplication
of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that, before making any
such demand, each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the
amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased
cost and detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Lender at the time such Lender demands payment under this
Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines in good
faith that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law)
implemented or effective after the date of this Agreement affects or would affect the amount
of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the Issuing Bank and that
the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s
commitment to lend or the Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit or any
Lender’s commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and other commitments of this
type, then, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice by such Lender or the Issuing Bank
(with a copy of any such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or to the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, from time to time as specified by such Lender or the Issuing Bank,
additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased
costs) sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in light of such
circumstances, (i) with respect to such Lender, to the extent that such Lender reasonably
determines such increase in

37

 

capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend under this
Agreement or its commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and (ii) with respect
to the Issuing Bank, to the extent that such Issuing Bank reasonably determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the issuance or maintenance of the Letters of Credit.
A certificate as to such amounts and detailing the calculation of such amounts submitted to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     (c) Letters of Credit. If any change in any law or regulation (except with
respect to Taxes or Other Taxes) or in the interpretation thereof by any court or
administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof following
the date of this Agreement shall either (i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held
by, or deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Bank or any Lender or (ii) impose on
Issuing Bank or any Lender any other condition regarding the provisions of this Agreement
relating to the Letters of Credit or any Letter of Credit Obligations, and the result of any
event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost to
Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or increase the cost to such
Lender of its risk participation in any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be
determined by Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such
cost increases resulting from such event), then, upon demand by Issuing Bank or such Lender
(with a copy sent to the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank or Lender, as the case may be,
from time to time as specified by Issuing Bank or such Lender, additional amounts which
shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased cost.
Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office for the booking of its Letters of Credit or risk participations if the making
of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of Issuing Bank or such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Issuing
Bank or such Lender, as the case may be. A certificate as to such increased cost incurred
by Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in
clause (i) or (ii) above, and detailing the calculation of such increased costs submitted by
Issuing Bank or such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     Section 2.10 Payments and Computations.

     (a) Payment Procedures. Except if otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower
shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 12:00 noon
(New York, New York time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the
location referred to in the Notes (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall
designate in writing to the Borrower) in same day funds without set-off, deduction or
counterclaim. Except for amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Banks, or a specific Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 2.12, or
2.13(c) but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 10.04, the
Administrative Agent will on the same day cause to be distributed like funds relating to the
payment of principal, interest or fees ratably to the Lenders in accordance with, in the
case of a payment made in respect of a Borrowing, each Lender’s Revolving Share or Term
Share, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and
like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender or Issuing Bank
for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

     (b) Computations. All computations of interest based on the Adjusted Base Rate
(except to the extent calculated pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof) shall be
made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days and all computations of
fees and interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, the Adjusted Base Rate, to the extent
calculated pursuant to clause (c) of the definition thereof, and the Federal Funds Rate
shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case
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. Each determination by
the Administrative Agent of an interest rate shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

38

 

     (c) Non-Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation
of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that
if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate
Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the
next preceding Business Day.

     (d) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on
such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to each Lender on such date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.
If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest, for each day from the
date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount
to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day.

     (e) Application of Payments. Unless otherwise specified in Section 2.07
hereof, whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement is
insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable under this Agreement and the
Notes, such payment shall be distributed and applied by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and
payable to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, under and in connection with
this Agreement or any other Credit Document; second, to the payment of all expenses
due and payable under Section 2.11(c), to all fees due and payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.03(b), and to all other fees due and payable under Section 2.03,
ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in accordance with the aggregate amount of
such payments owed to each such Lender and the Issuing Bank; third, to the payment
of the Current Pay Interest accrued on all Advances (other than the PIK Obligations) and all
Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable,
ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate accrued interest owed to such
Lenders; fourth, to the payment of the principal amount of all Advances, all PIK
Interest, all Current Pay Interest with respect to the PIK Obligations and all Letter of
Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably
among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount owed to such Lenders;
and fifth, if applicable, to the payment of all amounts due and payable under
Interest Rate Agreements or Treasury Management Agreements provided by any Lender or any
Affiliate of a Lender.

     (f) Register. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the
Commitment and the Advances from time to time of each Lender and each repayment or
prepayment in respect to the principal amount of such Advances of each Lender. Any such
recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest
error; provided however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any
error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect
of such Advances.

     Section 2.11 Taxes.

     (a) No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower shall
be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender, Issuing
Bank, and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed
on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or carries on business (other than as
a result of a connection arising primarily from the Lender, Issuing Bank, or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement) or any political
subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdictions (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”) and, (ii) in the case of each Lender and Issuing Bank, Taxes by the
jurisdiction of

39

 

such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision of such
jurisdiction. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable to any Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, (x) the
sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.11), such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made;
provided, however, that if the Borrower’s obligation to deduct or withhold
Taxes is caused solely by such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s, or the Administrative Agent’s
failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.11 and such
Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent could lawfully have provided such forms,
no such increase shall be required; (y) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and (z) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.

     (b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies
which arise from any payment made or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents
(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

     (c) Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender, Issuing Bank,
and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts
payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally asserted. Each payment required to be made by the Borrower in respect of this
indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party
claiming such indemnification within thirty (30) days from the date the Borrower receives
written demand detailing the calculation of such amounts therefore from the Administrative
Agent on behalf of itself as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or any such Lender. If any
Lender, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank determines in its sole discretion
(exercised in good faith) that is has received a refund or offset in respect of any Taxes or
Other Taxes paid by the Borrower under this paragraph (c), such Lender, the Administrative
Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Borrower, but only up
to the amount paid by the Borrower, the Borrower’s share of such refund or offset as
determined in the sole discretion, exercised in good faith, of such Lender, the
Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be (reduced by any reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses and any Taxes imposed on the Lender, the Administrative Agent, or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, by reason of the receipt of such refund or offset,
provided, however, that the Borrower upon the request of such Lender, the
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to
such Lender, the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in the event such Lender, the
Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund or offset to a taxing
authority). Nothing in this Section 2.11(c) shall obligate any Lender, the Administrative
Agent or Issuing Bank to apply for any such refund or offset.

     (d) Evidence of Tax Payments. The Borrower will pay prior to delinquency all
Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment. Within thirty (30) days after the
date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

     (e) Foreign Lender Withholding Exemption. Each Lender and Issuing Bank that is
not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees
that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of this
Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such
Lender first becomes a Lender hereunder, two duly completed copies of the Prescribed Forms,
as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments
under this Agreement and any Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which delivers to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a Prescribed Form further undertakes to deliver, to the extent it may
lawfully do so, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date that any
such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form

40

 

previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further
copies of a replacement Prescribed Form. If an event (including without limitation any
change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery
required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders all such forms
inapplicable or which would prevent any Lender from duly completing and delivering any such
letter or form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Prescribed Form
establishing an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States backup withholding tax,
such Lender shall not be required to deliver such forms. The Borrower shall withhold tax at
the rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United States with respect to
payments made to a Lender that may lawfully provide the Prescribed Forms and fails to do so
in a timely manner.

     (f) Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent
to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be
confidential or proprietary, in its sole discretion).

     (g) If the Issuing Bank or any Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 2.11, then such Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) shall use its
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of
such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole discretion of such
Issuing Bank or Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Issuing Bank or Lender.

     (h) If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from
payments made to or for the account of any Lender, that Lender shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and
costs and expenses (including attorney fees) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of
the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment
of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

     Section 2.12 Illegality. If any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Legal
Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts
that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations
under this Agreement to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding
hereunder, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall, if demanded
by such Lender by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New
York, New York time), (a) if not prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such Eurodollar Rate
Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the last day of the Interest Period for each
outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender or (b) if prohibited by Legal Requirement to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the second
Business Day following its receipt of such notice from such Lender, Convert all such affected
Eurodollar Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding to Adjusted Base Rate Advances, and pay
accrued interest on the principal amount Converted to the date of such Conversion and amounts, if
any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such Conversion being made on such
date. Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office
if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     Section 2.13 Letters of Credit.

     (a) Issuance. From time to time from the date of this Agreement until three
months before the Maturity Date, at the request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall, on
any Business Day and on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase,
decrease, amend, or extend the expiration date of Letters of Credit for the account of the
Borrower (for its own benefit or for the benefit of the Parent or any of the Borrower’s
Subsidiaries). Promptly after issuance by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, such
Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. Each Issuing
Bank shall

41

 

promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (including the amount thereof). Upon the Effective Date,
but subject to the limitations contained in the following sentence, each Existing Letter of
Credit shall be automatically converted to a Letter of Credit. No Letter of Credit will be
issued, increased, or extended and no Existing Letter of Credit will be converted to a
Letter of Credit:

     (i) if such issuance, increase, extension or conversion would cause the Letter
of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 or (y) an amount equal to
(A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments less (B) the sum of the aggregate
Revolving Exposure at such time;

     (ii) unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the
earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance thereof and (B) fifteen (15) days
prior to the Maturity Date;

     (iii) unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit not supporting
the repayment of indebtedness for borrowed money of any Person;

     (iv) unless such Letter of Credit is in form and substance acceptable to the
Issuing Bank;

     (v) unless the Borrower has delivered to the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) the completed and executed Letter of Credit Documents (other
than the Letter of Credit) on such Issuing Bank’s standard form, which shall contain
terms no more restrictive than the terms of this Agreement;

     (vi) if a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.13(c)
exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender
hereunder, unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements
satisfactory to the Issuing Bank with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the
Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Lender; and

     (vii) unless no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the
issuance of such Letter of Credit.

If the terms of any of the Letter of Credit Documents referred to in the foregoing clause
(v) conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

     (b) Participations. On the date of the issuance or increase of any Letter of
Credit on or after the Effective Date or the conversion of any Existing Letter of Credit to
a Letter of Credit in accordance with provisions of the preceding Section 2.13(a), Issuing
Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Lender with a Revolving Commitment and each
other Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall have been deemed to have purchased from such
Issuing Bank a participation in the Letter of Credit Exposure related to the Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to such Lender’s Revolving Share at such date and
such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Upon receiving notification from the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each such participant Lender by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of
Credit of such Issuing Bank issued, increased or decreased, and the actual dollar amount of
such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase
participating interests pursuant to this Section and to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such
Lender’s Revolving Share of any payment under a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any of the circumstances
described in paragraph (d) below, (ii) the occurrence and continuance of a Default, (iii) an
adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iv) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, except for any such circumstance, happening or event that is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Bank.

42

 

     (c) Reimbursement. The Borrower shall have the obligation (subject to its
right to draw on the Revolving Commitments as noted below) to pay promptly on demand to
Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank an amount equal
to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under or in respect of such Letter of Credit. In
the event any Issuing Bank makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a
Letter of Credit and such payment is not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand,
such Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the Administrative Agent, and upon
the receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such payment to
the Lenders, and each Lender shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank through the
Administrative Agent for such Lender’s Revolving Share of such payment, and such
reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute an Adjusted
Base Rate Advance to the Borrower from such Lender. If such reimbursement is not made by
any Lender to any Issuing Bank on the same day on which such Issuing Bank shall have made
payment on any such draw, such Lender shall pay interest thereon to such Issuing Bank for
each such day from the date such payment should have been made until the date repaid at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. The Borrower hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders to record and otherwise treat each payment under a Letter of Credit not
immediately reimbursed by the Borrower as a Borrowing comprised of Adjusted Base Rate
Advances to the Borrower. Nothing contained herein shall limit the Borrower’s absolute
obligation to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any draw made on any Letter of Credit hereunder.

     (d) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower (including,
without limitation, the reimbursement obligations provided for in clause (c) above) under
this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under
all circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents;

     (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of
Credit Documents;

     (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the
Borrower or any Lender or any other Person may have at any time against any
beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank or any other
Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated
transaction;

     (iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the
Issuing Bank would not be liable therefore pursuant to the following paragraph (e);

     (v) payment by the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; or

     (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing.

     (e) Liability of Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use
of such Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank, nor any other Lender, nor any of their
respective officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:

     (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;

43

 

     (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any
endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

     (iii) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do
not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents
to bear any reference or adequate reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or

     (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment
under any Letter of Credit (including such Issuing Bank’s own negligence),

except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and
such Issuing Bank shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, the Borrower, to
the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the
Borrower that are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (A) such Issuing Bank’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a
Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing
Bank’s gross negligence in failing to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit
after the presentation to it of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to
be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

     Section 2.14 Intentionally Omitted.

     Section 2.15 Lender Replacement.

     (a) Right to Replace. The Borrower shall, at the Borrower’s own expense, have
the right to replace each Lender affected by a condition under Section 2.02(c)(vi), 2.09,
2.11, or 2.12 for more than 60 days (each such affected Lender, an “Affected
Lender”) in accordance with the procedures in this Section 2.15 and provided
that no reduction of the total Commitments occurs as a result thereof.

     (b) Replacement Allocation.

     (i) Upon the occurrence of any condition permitting the replacement of a
Lender, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to
reallocate the amount of the Commitments of the Affected Lenders, including without
limitation to Persons which are not already party to this Agreement but which
qualify as Eligible Assignees, which election shall be made by written notice within
thirty (30) days after the date such condition occurs.

     (ii) If the aggregate amount of the reallocated Commitments is less than the
Commitments of the Affected Lenders, (A) the respective Commitments of the Lenders
which have received such reallocated Commitments shall be increased by the
respective amounts of their proposed reallocations, and (B) the Borrower shall have
the right to add additional Lenders which are Eligible Assignees to this Agreement
to replace such Affected Lenders, which additional Lenders would have aggregate
Commitments no greater than those of the Affected Lenders minus the amounts
of the Commitments already reallocated.

     (iii) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.15 to the contrary, no
Lender may have such Lender’s Commitment increased pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.15 without such Lender’s written consent.

     (c) Procedure. Any assumptions of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15
shall be (i) made by the purchasing Lender or Eligible Assignee and the selling Lender
entering into an Assignment and Assumption and by following the procedures in Section 10.06
for adding a Lender; provided that no processing fee shall be charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment. In

44

 

connection with the reallocation of the Commitments of any Lender pursuant to the
foregoing paragraph (b), each Lender with a reallocated Commitment shall purchase from the
Affected Lenders at par such Lender’s Revolving Share or Term Share, as applicable, of the
outstanding Advances of the Affected Lenders and assume such Lender’s Revolving Share of the
Affected Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure. The Borrower shall pay each such Affected
Lender any fees, compensatory or other amounts due to it in connection with the foregoing.

     Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on
account of the Advances made by it in excess of its Revolving Share, Term Share or PIK Share, as
applicable, of payments or collateral on account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations
obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances, as applicable, made by them or
Letter of Credit Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to
share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement with each of them; provided, however, that if all or
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such
purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender
the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a)
the amount of the participation sold by such Lender to the purchasing Lender as a result of such
excess payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an
amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such
Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount of all such required
repayments to the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender
so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest
extent permitted by Legal Requirement, unless and until rescinded as provided above, exercise all
its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar law affecting creditors’
rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether considered in proceeding at law or in

     Section 4.05 Financial Statements. The respective Consolidated balance sheets,
statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries

the periods indicated, and such balance sheets and statements were prepared in accordance with

as related to the Borrower shall not constitute a Material Adverse Change.

     Section 4.06 True and Complete Disclosure. No representation, warranty, or other
statement made by any Loan Party (or on behalf of any Loan Party) in this Agreement or any other
Credit Document contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material

circumstances in which they were made as of the date of this Agreement. There is no fact known to

judgment the anticipated loss (exclusive of amounts covered by insurance) is over $500,000
(provided that with respect to the giving of this representation after the date of this
Agreement, the representation shall only be deemed to apply to those matters for which
Administrative Agent would have been entitled to notice under Section 5.05(j)) or (b) which in
Borrower’s good faith judgment would result in criminal penalties against the Parent, the Borrower
or their respective Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change.

     Section 4.08 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit.

     (a) Advances. The proceeds of the Advances shall be used by the Borrower for
(i) working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) the making of Permitted New
Investments pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06 and (iii) any refinance and, if

the Obligations.

     (b) Regulations. No proceeds of Advances will be used to purchase or carry any
Margin Stock or be used in violation of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board,

their respective Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     Section 4.10 Taxes. All federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and
statements required to be filed (after giving effect to any extension granted in the time for
filing) by the Parent, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries, or any member of a Controlled
Group have been filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such
returns, reports and statements are required to be filed, and where the failure to file could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, except where contested in good faith and
by appropriate proceedings; and all taxes and other impositions due and payable (which are material
in amount) have been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late
charge or loss (which are material in amount) may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof except
where contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings with respect to which adequate
reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided. As of the date of this Agreement, neither the
Parent, the Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries nor any member of a Controlled Group has
given, or been requested to give, a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of
any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other impositions. None of the Property owned by the
Parent, the Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other member of a Controlled
Group is Property which the Parent, the Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any
member of a Controlled Group is required to be treated as being owned by any other Person pursuant
to the provisions of Section 168(f)(8) of the Code. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld
by the Parent, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries and all members of each Controlled Group
from their employees for all periods to comply in all material respects with the tax, social
security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign
law. Timely payment of all material sales and use taxes required by applicable law have been made
by the Parent, the Borrower,

50

 

their respective Subsidiaries and all other members of each Controlled Group, the failure to
timely pay of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. The amounts
shown on all tax returns to be due and payable have been paid in full or adequate provision
therefore is included on the books of the appropriate members of the applicable Controlled Group.
None of the Parent, Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries and all members of the each Controlled
Group has entered into, or otherwise participated (directly or indirectly) in, any “reportable
transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(b) or has received a
written tax opinion from a tax advisor that was intended to provide protection against a tax
penalty.

     Section 4.11 Pension Plans. Each Title IV Plan is listed on Schedule 4.11. All Plans
are in compliance in all material respects with its terms all applicable provisions of ERISA, the
Code and all applicable Laws. No Termination Event has occurred, or is reasonably expected to
occur. No “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred with
respect to a Title IV Plan and there has been no excise tax imposed under Section 4971 of the Code
with respect to a Title IV Plan. No Reportable Event has occurred, or is reasonably expected to
occur, with respect to a Title IV Plan, and to the Borrower’s actual knowledge no Multiemployer
Plan has failed to comply with or to be administered in all material respects with applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code. Neither the Borrower, the Parent nor any member of a Controlled
Group has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan for which there is any
material withdrawal liability. As of the most recent valuation date applicable thereto, neither
the Borrower nor any member of a Controlled Group has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan
is insolvent or in reorganization. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any member of the
Controlled Group would have any liability in excess of $10,000,000 as a result of a complete
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan on the date this representation is made. The present value
of the “benefit liabilities” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) of each Title IV
Plan (using the actuarial assumptions and methods used by the actuary to that Title IV Plan in its
most recent valuation of that Title IV Plan) does not exceed the fair market value of the assets of
each such Title IV Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in liability to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $10,000,000.

     Section 4.12 Insurance. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries carry the insurance
required pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.07.

     Section 4.13 No Burdensome Restrictions; No Defaults.

     (a) Except in connection with Indebtedness which is (i) either permitted pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.02, or (ii) being repaid with the proceeds of the initial
Borrowing, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any indenture,
loan or credit agreement. Neither the Borrower, the Parent nor any of their respective
Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or
corporate restriction or provision of applicable law or governmental regulation which could
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Borrower, nor the
Parent, nor their respective Subsidiaries has entered into or suffered to exist any
agreement (other than this Agreement and the Credit Documents and as set forth in the
Permitted Property Agreements) (i) prohibiting the creation or assumption of any Lien upon
the Properties of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (except
for Properties of and Ownership Interests in the Permitted Other Subsidiaries), whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, or (ii) requiring an obligation to be secured if some other
obligation is or becomes secured.

     (b) Neither the Borrower, the Parent nor any of their Subsidiaries is in default under
or with respect to any contract or agreement which could reasonably be expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change. Neither the Borrower, the Parent nor any of their Subsidiaries has
received any notice of default under any material contract or agreement which is continuing
and which, if not cured, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

     (c) No Default has occurred and is continuing (or with respect to the giving of this
representation after the date of this Agreement, as otherwise disclosed to the
Administrative Agent in writing after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date such
representation is deemed given).

51

 

     Section 4.14 Environmental Condition.

     (a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.14 (or with respect to the giving of this
representation after the date of this Agreement, as otherwise disclosed to the

representation is deemed given), to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower, the Parent
and their respective Subsidiaries (i) have obtained all Environmental Permits material for
the operation of their respective Properties and the conduct of their respective businesses;
(ii) have been and are in material compliance with all terms and conditions of such

could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change (or with respect to the giving of
this representation after the date of this Agreement, as otherwise disclosed to the Administrative
Agent in writing after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date such representation is
deemed given).

     Section 4.21 Title; Liens. The Owned Hospitality Properties are set forth on Schedule

     Section 4.23 Insurance Business.

     (a) Insurance Companies, Insurance Licenses and Deposited Securities. Each
Insurance Company is listed in Schedule 4.23(a). Schedule 4.23(a) hereto lists all of the
jurisdictions in which each Insurance Company holds an Insurance License and is authorized
to transact insurance business as of the Effective Date and the line or lines of insurance
in which each Insurance Company is engaged. No Insurance License held by any Insurance
Company, the loss of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change,
is the subject of a proceeding for suspension or revocation. To the knowledge of the
Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, there is not a sustainable
basis for such suspension or revocation, and no such suspension or revocation has been
threatened by any Governmental Authority. Each of the Insurance Companies has filed all
reports, statements, documents, registrations, filings or submissions required to be filed
by it with any applicable Governmental Authority, which filings conform in all material
respects to any applicable Legal Requirements, except where the failure to so file or
conform could not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to cause a
Material Adverse Change. Schedule 4.23(a) sets forth a true, correct and complete listing
of all securities deposited with state insurance departments and other Governmental
Authority, which deposits have been completed in accordance with the schedule of deposits
set forth in each Insurance Company’s December 31, 2008 Insurance Annual Statement.

     (b) SAP Financial Statements, Examination Reports and Loss Runs. The Borrower
has previously delivered to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each of the Lenders
true and complete copies of the SAP Financial Statements as filed with the domiciliary state
insurance departments of each Insurance Company as of and for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2007 and 2008, prepared in compliance with GAAP. Each of the SAP Financial Statements
fairly presents in all material respects the results of operations of the applicable
Insurance Company for the period therein set forth, in each case in accordance with SAP.
The schedules included in the SAP Financial Statements, when considered in relation to the
basic statutory financial statements included therein, present fairly in all material
respects the information shown therein. Each of the SAP Financial Statements was correct in
all material respects when filed and did not omit to state any material facts required to be
stated or necessary in order to make the SAP Financial Statements not misleading. The
Borrower has previously delivered to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each of
the Lenders true and complete copies of all examination reports of insurance departments and
any insurance regulatory agencies since December 31, 2008 relating to the Insurance
Companies. The loss runs for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, which the
Borrower has previously delivered to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each of
the Lenders in writing, are true, correct and complete in all material respects.

     (c) Investment Portfolios. The Borrower has previously delivered to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to each of the Lenders true and complete lists as of
December 31, 2008 of all assets held in the investment portfolios of the Insurance
Companies. None of the investments included in such investment portfolios is in default
with respect to the payment of principal, interest or dividends thereon or is materially
impaired. All such investments comply with all applicable Legal Requirements except for
non-compliance which in the aggregate would not cause a Material Adverse Change. Each
Insurance Company owns assets which qualify as admitted assets under applicable state
insurance Legal Requirements in an amount at least equal to the sum of all of its Insurance
Reserve Liabilities and minimum statutory capital and Insurance Surplus reflected on the
latest SAP Financial Statements.

     (d) Insurance Reserve Liabilities and Adequate Provisions. All Insurance
Reserve Liabilities as established or reflected in the SAP Financial Statements (i) were
determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial standards consistently applied,
(ii) are fairly stated in accordance with sound actuarial principles, (iii) are based on
actuarial assumptions that are in accordance with those called for by the relevant Insurance
Contract and the related Reinsurance Contract and (iv) meet in all material respects the
requirements of all applicable insurance Legal Requirements. Adequate provision for such
Insurance Reserve Liabilities has been made (under generally accepted actuarial principles
consistently applied) to cover the total amount of all reasonably anticipated matured and
unmatured benefits, dividends, claims and other liabilities of the Insurance Companies under
all Insurance Contracts and Reinsurance Contracts on the

54

 

date of such SAP Financial Statement based on then current information that forms a
reasonable basis for such determination. Each of the Insurance Companies owns assets that
qualify as legal reserve assets under applicable insurance Legal Requirements in an amount
at least equal to all of such Insurance Company’s Insurance Reserve Liabilities. Adequate
provision has been made for all estimated losses, settlements, costs and expenses from
pending suits, actions and proceedings contemplated by the SAP Financial Statements.

     (e) Insurance Contracts and Reinsurance Contracts. Each outstanding Insurance
Contract issued, reinsured or underwritten by an Insurance Company is listed in Schedule
4.23(e), together with the maximum amount payable by an Insurance Company thereunder. All
outstanding Reinsurance Contracts with respect to such Insurance Contracts are listed in
Schedule 4.23(e), together with the maximum amount payable by an Insurance Company
thereunder. All Insurance Contracts, Reinsurance Contracts and any and all marketing
materials are, to the extent required under applicable Legal Requirements, on forms approved
by the insurance regulatory authority of the jurisdiction where issued or filed and have not
been objected to by such authority within the period provided for objection and have been
filed or registered as required with all other applicable Governmental Authorities. As to
premium rates established by each Insurance Company and required to be filed or approved,
the premiums charged comply with the applicable Legal Requirements. In addition, there is
no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, threatened charge by any insurance regulatory authority that any of the
Insurance Companies has violated, nor any pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the
Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, threatened investigation by any insurance
regulatory authority with respect to possible violations of, any applicable Legal
Requirements where such violations would, individually or in the aggregate, cause a Material
Adverse Change. All Insurance Contracts and Reinsurance Contracts have been marketed, sold
and issued in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, except as could not
reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change, including, without limitation, in
compliance with (i) all applicable prohibitions against “redlining” or withdrawal of
business lines, (ii) all applicable requirements relating to the disclosure of the nature of
insurance products as policies of insurance and (iii) all applicable requirements relating
to insurance product projections and illustrations.

     (f) Payment of Benefits. All benefits payable with respect to each Insurance
Contract by an Insurance Company or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Parent or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, by any other person that is a party to or bound by such
Insurance Contract, have in all material respects been paid in accordance with the terms of
such Insurance Contract. All benefits payable with respect to each Reinsurance Contract,
have in all material respects been paid in accordance with the terms of such Reinsurance
Contract.

     (g) Notice of Likely Defaults. No Insurance Company has received any written,
or to the knowledge of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries,
oral information that would cause it to believe that the financial condition of any other
party to any Insurance Contract or Reinsurance Contract is so impaired as to be reasonably
likely to result in a default by such party under such contract which could reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

     Section 4.24 Owned Hospitality Properties.

     (a) Except as indicated on a Title Policy previously delivered to the Administrative
Agent, each of the Owned Hospitality Properties is served by water, electric, sewer,
sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities and all other utilities necessary and sufficient
for all current and intended uses, and such utilities enter each of the Owned Hospitality
Properties directly from a public right-of-way abutting such Owned Hospitality Property, and
all such utilities are connected so as to serve each of the Owned Hospitality Properties
without passing over other property.

     (b) No condemnation or eminent domain proceeding has been commenced, or, to Borrower’s
knowledge, is pending or threatened against any Owned Hospitality Property or any roadways
or easements providing access thereto.

of the Materials or other materials distributed through the Platform or other electronic,
telecommunications or information transmissions systems, and (C) certain of the Lenders may be
“public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information
with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower
hereby agrees that (W) all Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be
clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC”
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (X) by marking Materials “PUBLIC”, the Parent
and the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, its Affiliates, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Materials as either publicly available information or
not material information

59

 

(although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower, the Parent or their
respective securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (Y) all
Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform
designated “Public Investor;” and (Z) the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled
to treat any Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion
of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

     Section 5.06 Maintenance of Property. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the
Parent and its Subsidiaries to (a) maintain their Owned Hospitality Properties in a manner
consistent for Hospitality Properties and related property of the same quality and character and
shall keep or cause to be kept every part thereof and its other properties in good condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and make all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals or
replacements thereto as may be reasonably necessary to conduct the business of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, (b) not knowingly or willfully permit the commission of waste or other injury, or the
occurrence of pollution, contamination or any other condition in, on or about any of their Owned
Hospitality Properties, (c) substantially maintain and repair each of their Owned Hospitality
Properties as required by any franchise agreement, license agreement, management agreement or
ground lease for such Owned Hospitality Property, and (d) perform such Person’s obligations under
the Permitted Property Agreements to which such Person is a party except where the non-performance
thereof in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

     Section 5.07 Insurance. The Borrower will maintain, and cause each of its
Subsidiaries to maintain, the insurance required pursuant to Schedule 5.07.

     Section 5.08 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The Advances and Letters of
Credit shall be used by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in Section 4.08.

     Section 5.09 Collateral; Releases.

     (a) Subject to the time periods set forth in Section 5.10 and Section 6.06(d) for
executing Security Documents in connection with the acquisition of Permitted New
Investments, the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (i) will cause at all times the
Administrative Agent to have an Acceptable Lien in the Collateral, (ii) will cause at all
times all material provisions of the Security Documents to be valid and binding on the
Persons executing such Security Documents and (iii) shall execute or re-execute such
Security Documents and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
request in order for the Administrative Agent to maintain or create an Acceptable Lien in
the Collateral, including without limitation any Collateral acquired by the Borrower, the
Parent, or any of the other Guarantors after the Effective Date. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Parent will, at all times during the term hereof, maintain an Acceptable Lien
in the Parent’s Ownership Interests in the Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders to secure the Obligations.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent at any time when no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom and
any repayment of Advances required under this Agreement in connection therewith, the
Administrative Agent will release from the Liens of the Security Documents (i) the Property
which is the subject of a Permitted Asset Disposition at the time of such Permitted Asset
Disposition and (ii) any Owned Hospitality Property and the Ownership Interests in the
Permitted Other Subsidiary which owns such Owned Hospitality Property in connection with the
incurrence of Permitted Other Indebtedness to be secured by such Collateral,
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to release any such
Liens in respect of this clause (ii) to the extent such Owned Hospitality Property is at
such time subject to a Mortgage in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and Lenders to secure the Obligations except to the extent the
applicable Owned Hospitality Property has been made subject to mortgage Indebtedness in
accordance with the terms of clause (c) of the definition of the term “Permitted Other
Indebtedness” and the proceeds thereof have, as proceeds of a Repayment Event, been used to
prepay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07(c)(iii) hereof;
provided, however that to the extent the liens with respect to such
Permitted Other Indebtedness are, at any time, released or terminated, and such Owned
Hospitality Property remains owned by a Subsidiary of the Borrower, such Owned Hospitality
Property shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such release or termination, again
constitute part of the

60

 

Collateral and be made subject to a Mortgage hereunder in favor of the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders to secure the Obligations. If
the Property released in connection with any such Permitted Asset Disposition includes all
or substantially all of the Ownership Interests in a Guarantor, or if a Guarantor incurs
Permitted Other Indebtedness, then, upon request of the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, at the time of such Permitted Asset Disposition or the incurrence of such Permitted
Other Indebtedness, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall release such Guarantor
from the Guaranty and the other Credit Documents to which such Guaranty is a party. In
addition, the Administrative Agent agrees to take, and the Lenders authorize the
Administrative Agent to take, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower and
at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the
Credit Documents when all the Obligations are paid in full and all Letters of Credit and
Commitments are terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to
the extent any creditor providing any mortgage indebtedness constituting Permitted Other
Indebtedness pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of such term requires the applicable
Owned Hospitality Property to be held by a special purpose or bankruptcy remote entity, the
Loan Parties shall, to the extent no Default is then-continuing hereunder or under any other
Credit Document, be permitted to cause the transfer of such Owned Hospitality Property from
the then-current owner thereof to another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower.

     Section 5.10 New Subsidiaries; Additional Guarantors and Collateral. Except with
respect to a Permitted Other Subsidiary that has incurred or issued Permitted Other Indebtedness,
within ten (10) Business Days after either (a) the date that any Subsidiary of the Parent that was
not a Material Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary or such Subsidiary is no longer prohibited
from acting as a Guarantor because of a contractual obligation or any new Material Subsidiary is
created after the Effective Date, or (b) the purchase by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of
the Ownership Interests of any Person, which purchase results in such Person becoming a Material
Subsidiary the Parent, shall, in each case, cause (i) such Material Subsidiary to execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent either (A) a Guaranty, an Environmental Indemnity and a
Security Agreement or (B) an Accession Agreement, (ii) any of the Borrower and any Guarantor who is
a direct owner of the Ownership Interests of such Material Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Security Agreement, if necessary, and such other documents as are necessary
to create an Acceptable Lien in the Ownership Interests in the Material Subsidiary owned by such
Person (and such other Security Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) and
(iii) the Persons who are party to the documents delivered pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.10 to provide such evidence of authority to enter into such documents as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

     Section 5.11 Insurance Business.

     (a) The Borrower will cause each of the Insurance Companies to (i) carry on and conduct
its business only in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields of
enterprise as it is presently conducted, (ii) only engage in the insurance business or the
business of a holding company owning entities engaged in the insurance business or the
business of insurance or reasonably incidental activities, (iii) do all things necessary to
renew, extend and continue in effect all Insurance Licenses which may at any time and from
time to time be necessary for each Insurance Company to conduct business in compliance with
all applicable Legal Requirements, including, if applicable, the filing of all appropriate
Insurance Annual Statements and SAP Financial Statements; provided, that each
Insurance Company may withdraw from one or more states (other than its state of domicile) as
an admitted insurer if such withdrawal is determined by the Insurance Company’s Board of
Directors to be in the best interest of the Insurance Companies and could not reasonably be
expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

     (b) The Borrower will not permit the Insurance Surplus, as of the last day of each
Fiscal Quarter, to be less than that required by applicable Legal Requirements. The
Borrower will not permit the maximum amount payable by all Insurance Companies under
Insurance Contracts or Reinsurance Contracts, as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, to
be greater than $10,000,000.

     Section 5.12 Interest Rate Agreements. Concurrently with the expiration or
termination of the Interest Rate Agreements related to the Existing Credit Facility, the Borrower
shall cause the Parent to obtain and thereafter maintain Interest Rate Agreements reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, sufficient to cap

61

 

LIBOR for not less than the lesser of (x) $121.5 million and (y) the aggregate amount of
Obligations outstanding hereunder as of such date of determination at a maximum rate of 4.00% per
annum for the period commencing as of such date and continuing until the Second Extended Maturity
Date. Any such Interest Rate Agreements shall be provided by either a Lender or a bank or other
financial institution whose long-term debt rating is equal to or greater than “A”; provided
that the Lenders will have a right of first refusal, but not an obligation, to provide any Interest
Rate Agreements for the Parent on substantially such terms as the Parent would be able to obtain
from any such non-Lender. To the extent that any Interest Rate Agreement is provided by a Lender,
the obligations of the Parent or its Subsidiary under such Interest Rate Agreement may be secured
by the Collateral pari passu with the Obligations. However, the pledge of any Collateral to secure
any Interest Rate Agreement from any non-Lender shall be subject to the written approval of the
Required Lenders.

     Section 5.13 Property Marketing and Sales. The Borrower shall actively market for
sale with a nationally-recognized and Administrative Agent-approved (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) brokerage firm the Hilton House Westchase property and the Hilton
Garden Inn Baton Rouge property at purchase prices that have been mutually agreed upon in writing
by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as of the Effective Date; provided, that the
Administrative Agent acknowledges that it has, as of the date hereof, approved Molinaro Koger as
the broker for the Hilton House Westchase property and Jones Lang LaSalle as the broker for the
Hilton Garden Inn Baton Rouge property. On or prior to September 1, 2009, such brokerage firms
shall have provided to the Borrower and Administrative Agent a report concerning any bids received.
To the extent the Borrower receives any bids for sale that will result in gross cash proceeds as
of the closing of such sale in an amount equal to or greater than the amounts required by the
Administrative Agent and Lenders and such closing is reasonably expected to take place within 180
days, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the closing of such sale to
the highest bidder with respect to each such property.

     Section 5.14 Budget Updates.

     (a) Annual Budgets. The Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days prior to the
beginning of each calendar year commencing with the calendar year beginning January 1, 2010,
deliver to the Administrative Agent a detailed draft of a proposed budget of projected cash
expenditures of the Parent, Borrower and their Subsidiaries for the following four calendar
quarter period, broken out by calendar quarter, in a form substantially similar to the form
of the budget delivered on the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall have the
right to review such draft budget and shall, on or prior to the date which is 20 days
following its receipt of same, provide Borrower with any comments or requested revisions
with respect to such draft budget based on the criteria set forth below. Thereafter, the
Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days following the beginning of each calendar year
commencing with the calendar year beginning January 1, 2010, deliver to the Administrative
Agent a detailed final proposed budget of projected cash expenditures of the Parent,
Borrower and their Subsidiaries for the then-current calendar year, broken out by calendar
quarter, in a form substantially similar to the form of the budget delivered on the
Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to review and approve such
proposed draft budget in its reasonable discretion and shall, on or prior to the date which
is 20 days following its receipt of same, provide Borrower with notice as to whether it has
approved or rejected such budget, together with reasons for any rejection; provided,
that the Administrative Agent shall not have the right to reject costs or expenses set forth
in proposed budgets (i) to the extent such costs and expenses are necessary to the continued
operation of the Borrower’s business and are not subject to the Borrower’s control, (ii)
based on its objection to revisions set forth in such updates that are not material or (iii)
to the extent such costs and expenses appeared in Borrower’s draft budget for such year but
were not previously objected to by the Administrative Agent. To the extent the
Administrative Agent rejects any proposed budget submitted by the Borrower, the Borrower and
Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matters which are deemed
by the Administrative Agent to be objectionable. To the extent the Administrative Agent and
Borrower are unable to agree on a new annual budget as of the Business Day which is
immediately prior to the then-effective Maturity Date, such failure shall constitute a
Default hereunder.

     (b) Budget Updates. On or prior to the date which is 30 days prior to the
beginning of each calendar quarter (but not more than 60 days prior to the beginning of such
calendar quarter), submit to the Administrative Agent for review and approval any proposed
updates or revisions to the most recent

62

 

Approved Annual Budget. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to review and
approve (in its reasonable discretion) such proposed updates and revisions and shall, on or
prior to the date which is 20 days following its receipt of same, provide Borrower with
notice as to whether it has approved or rejected such updates and revisions, together with
reasons for any rejection; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not have
the right to reject costs or expenses set forth in proposed budgets or updates thereto (i)
to the extent such costs and expenses are necessary to the continued operation of the
Borrower’s business and are not subject to the Borrower’s control or (ii) based on its
objection to revisions set forth in such updates that are not material. If the
Administrative Agent rejects any proposed budget revisions submitted by the Borrower, the
Borrower and Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matters which
are deemed by the Administrative Agent to be objectionable. To the extent the
Administrative Agent and Borrower are unable to agree upon revisions to an Approved Annual
Budget, such Approved Annual Budget (as modified to reflect any necessary and uncontrollable
costs and expenses) shall remain effective. To the extent the Administrative Agent approves
any revisions requested by the Borrower to the then-applicable Approved Annual Budget, such
Approved Annual Budget shall be deemed to have been revised as of the date on which the
Administrative Agent communicates such approval.

     Section 5.15 Appraisal. On or before such date as the Borrower exercises the Second
Extended Maturity Date option pursuant to Section 2.05(d), the Borrower shall have delivered to the
Lenders appraisals of certain assets to be specified by the Administrative Agent, including without
limitation, an updated appraisal for each of the Owned Hospitality Properties, by appraisers
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in a form in satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
provided, that the assessed valuations set forth on such appraisals are not required to
show any minimum assessed values.

     Section 5.16 Extension of Mortgage Indebtedness. To the extent the Borrower or any
Subsidiary has any extension option under or with respect to any third-party mortgage Indebtedness
with regard to any of the Owned Hospitality Properties (other than the Arlington Property), and
such option is exercisable (a) without the Borrower or such Subsidiary being required to pay
additional fees in excess of 100 basis points and (b) without the implementation of any material
increase in the pricing of such Indebtedness, the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall exercise such
extension option unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders.

making of and repayment of Intercompany loans and advances) by any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries
to the Borrower.

provided that the Borrower may make one election after the Effective Date to change its
fiscal year end, if the Borrower enters into such amendments to this Agreement as the
Administrative Agent shall request to reflect such change, including modifications to Section 7,
such that the covenants affected by such change shall have the same effect (or, in any case, be
substantively no less favorable to the Lenders, in the determination of the Administrative Agent)
after giving effect thereto as if such change were not made. The Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments to effect such modifications, if any, in
accordance with the provisions of this Section.

obligation to be secured if some other obligation is or becomes secured; provided that in
connection with the incurrence of Unsecured Indebtedness which is permitted by this Agreement, the
Parent and its Subsidiaries may enter into such agreements which would require that assets of the
Parent and its Subsidiaries which secure any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations, any
refinancing or increase in the Obligations, or the Indebtedness described in clause (a) of the

provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by the owner of the Arlington Property or the

terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders,
by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest thereon, the Letter of Credit

limitation all Letter of Credit Obligations owing to any Issuing Bank or any other Lender
due and to become due from the Borrower to any Issuing Bank or any other Lender under this
Agreement in connection with the Letters of Credit and the Borrower agrees to execute all
cash management or cash collateral agreements and UCC-1 Financing Statements requested by
the Administrative Agent as needed or desirable for the Administrative Agent to have an
Acceptable Lien in the Cash Collateral Account.

     (b) Application Against Letter of Credit Obligations. The Administrative Agent
may, at any time or from time to time, apply funds then held in the Cash Collateral Account

property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any
responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any such funds.

     Section 8.05 Non-exclusivity of Remedies. No remedy conferred upon the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each remedy shall be
cumulative of all other remedies existing by contract, at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, the Advances held by such Lender, and the
other Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement, in respect of any Note, or such other Credit Documents, and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the
Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliate,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to
any other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which
such Lender may have.

     (b) The Borrower waives any right of set-off, defense or counterclaim the Borrower has
or may have against any Lender to apply any amounts owed the Borrower by such Lender or any

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     Section 9.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the
Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any
Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities
shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the
Administrative Agent.

     Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by
or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

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

73

 

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

The Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative
Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
this Agreement) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     Section 9.04 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message,
statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.06 and all actions
required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. The
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of
the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing
group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or,
if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified
by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

     Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the
Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group
of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

     Section 9.06 Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review
of the affairs of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any affiliate of the Borrower or a Guarantor,
shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower
or any Guarantor and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan
Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required
to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the

74

 

Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any affiliate of the
Borrower or any Guarantor that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of
its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

     Section 9.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent
(in its capacity as such) and its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective
Pro Rata Share in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if
indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the
Advances shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Share immediately
prior to such date), for, and to save the Administrative Agent and such Related Parties harmless
from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Advances) be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any such Related Party in any way
relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents
or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
Administrative Agent’s or such Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

     Section 9.08 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrower or any Guarantor as though the Administrative Agent were not the
Administrative Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any
Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders”
shall include the Administrative in its individual capacity.

     Section 9.09 Successor Administrative Agent.

     (a) In the event that, and during such time as, the Administrative Agent constitutes a
Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender fails to cure all Lender defaults that caused
it to become a Defaulting Lender within fifteen Business Days from the date it became a
Defaulting Lender, then the Required Lenders may, but shall not be required to, direct such
Administrative Agent to resign as Administrative Agent, and upon the direction of the
Required Lenders such Administrative Agent shall be required to resign in accordance with
the terms set forth in clause (b) of this Section 9.09.

     (b) The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ written
notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, then the Required
Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which
successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(f)
with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval
by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon
such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon
such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and
duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed
on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or
any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative
Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of
resignation by the Required Lenders, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required

75

 

Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above and such Lender so acting shall
have the benefit of all provisions for the benefit of the “Administrative Agent” as if they
were the Administrative Agent hereunder. After the resigning Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article
IX and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such resigning
Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent
was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Section 9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent
is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee
obligations contemplated by Section 5.09.

     Section 9.11 The Arranger. The Arranger shall have no duties or responsibilities, and
shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

     Section 9.12 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan
Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or Letter of
Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Advances, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and
their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank
and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03, 9.07, 10.04, 10.07 and/or any other
provision hereof calling for the payment of fees or indemnification of any Lender, the
Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and 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, in the event that 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 Sections 2.03
and 10.04.

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 the Issuing Bank to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in
respect of the claim of any Lender or the Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

     (c) Any amendment to a covenant of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or amendment

     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (without
the consent of any other Lender or the Issuing Bank) may enter into amendments of any Credit
Document solely with respect to corrections of formal defects not having any economic
impact.

     Section 10.02 Notices, Etc.

     (a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications
expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b)

Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to service of
process or to (i) notices delivered pursuant to Section 5.05(e) and (ii) notices to any
Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Issuing

Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it,
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to

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

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

78

 

“Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the Issuing
Bank or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind
(whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however,
that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the
Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

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

     (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders. The
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act
upon any notices (including telephonic Borrowing notices) purportedly given by or on behalf
of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or
(ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each
Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications
with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the
parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

     Section 10.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender, any Agent,
or any Issuing Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies
provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Credit Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all
actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and
maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit
of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit
(a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure
to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other
Credit Documents, (b) the Issuing Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its
benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank) hereunder and under the other Credit Documents,
(c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (d)
any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during
the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed
to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth
in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.16, any Lender may,
with the

79

 

consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

     Section 10.04 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, due diligence, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement,
the Notes and the other Credit Documents and syndication of the Obligations including, without
limitation, (a) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Moore & Van Allen PLLC, counsel
for the Administrative Agent, and (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any, of
the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, and each Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable
counsel fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, and each Lender) in
connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and (c) to the extent not included in the foregoing,
the costs of any local counsel, travel expenses, Appraisals, Engineering Reports, Environmental
Reports, Title Policies, mortgage and intangible taxes (if any), and any title or Uniform
Commercial Code search costs, any flood plain search costs, insurance consultant costs and other
costs usual and customary in connection with a credit facility of this type.

     Section 10.05 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and when the Administrative Agent
shall have, as to each Lender, either received a counterpart hereof executed by such Lender or been
notified by such Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, and each Lender and
their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to
assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement
without the prior written consent of each Lender.

     Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

     (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parent, the
Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Advances and
their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

     (b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person, in
accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial
institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in
any Advance owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of
such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale
by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender
shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the
holder of any such Advance for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, and the Borrower, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. In no event shall any
Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver
of any provision of any Credit Document, or any consent to any departure by any Advance
Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require
the consent of each “directly modified” Lender pursuant to Section 10.01(a). The Borrower
agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Advances are due or unpaid,
or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts
owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest
were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in
purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8.06(a) as fully as if
such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11 and 10.07 with respect to its
participation in the Commitments and the Advances outstanding from time to time as if such
Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.11, such
Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided,
further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive

80

 

any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have
been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such
transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. In addition, each
transferor Lender selling a participation to a Participant under this Section 10.06(b): (i)
shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c),
of each such Participant, specifying such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal
and interest with respect to such participation, and (ii) shall collect from each such
Participant the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.11
(and updated as required by Section 2.11) as if such Participant were a Lender under Section
2.11.

     (c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and upon
written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time assign to any
Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof or, with the
consent of the Borrower (to the extent no Default or Event of Default is then-continuing),
which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the
Administrative Agent and, in the case of any assignment of Revolving Commitments, the
written consent of the Issuing Bank (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) (provided (y) that no such consent need be obtained by the
Administrative Agent or its affiliates and (z) the consent of neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Borrower need be obtained with respect to any assignment of funded Term
Advances), to an additional Eligible Assignee all or any part of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, substantially in the form of
Exhibit C, executed by such Eligible Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank is required pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that
(A) no such assignment to an Eligible Assignee (other than, in each case, any Lender or any
affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (in the
case of the Term Loan Facility) or $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit
Facility), unless (1) otherwise consented to by the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event
of Default is then-continuing) and the Administrative Agent, which such consents shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (2) such assignment represents an assignment of all
of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement and (B) if the Assignor shall retain any
Advances or Commitments after giving effect to such assignment such Advances and Commitments
shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be in an
aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (in the case of the Term Loan
Facility) and $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility). Any such
assignment need not be ratable as among the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
Facility. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and
after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (x) the
Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto (with respect to the interest assigned)
and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Advances as set forth therein, in
addition to any rights and obligations theretofore held by it as a Lender, and (y) the
Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.09, 2.11 and 10.04 and
10.07 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision
of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that
occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For
purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments
by or to two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address
referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the name and address of each Lender
and each Issuing Bank, each Lender’s Commitment, each Lender’s and each Issuing Bank’s
interest in each Advance, each Letter of Credit and each Letter of Credit Obligation, and in
the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or
rights. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error,
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances, any Notes
evidencing such Advances and any Reimbursement Obligation recorded therein for all purposes
of this Agreement.

81

 

Any assignment of any Advance, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective
only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note
shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of an Advance
evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration
of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Advance, accompanied by a duly
executed Assignment and Assumption; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the designated Eligible Assignee, and the old Notes
shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Lender (with respect to any
entry relating to such Lender’s Advances) or any Issuing Bank (with respect to any entry
relating to the Borrower’s Letter of Credit Obligations owed to such Issuing Bank) at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an Assignor and an
Eligible Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by
Section 10.06(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative
Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (if required by the Administrative
Agent and, in any case treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more
Related Funds as a single assignment), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept
such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto
record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance
and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its
own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in
exchange for the Revolving Note, PIK Obligation Notes and/or applicable Term Notes, as the
case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Note, PIK Obligation Note and/or
applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Eligible Assignee and its
registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Commitment and/or applicable Term
Advances, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Assumption and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Commitment, PIK Obligation and/or
Term Advances, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Note, PIK Obligation Note
and/or Term Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor and its registered
assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Commitment, PIK Obligation and/or applicable
Term Advances, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall
be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced
thereby.

     (f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Advances and Notes relate only to
absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security
interests in Advances and Notes, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan
or Note to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, (ii) any holder
of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s securities or (iii) any SPC
to which such Lender granted an option pursuant to clause (g) below.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an
“SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any
part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Advance and (ii) if an SPC elects not to
exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the
Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The
making of a Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender
to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such Granting Lender. Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting
Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement
shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year
and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.06(g), any SPC may (A)
with notice to, but

82

 

without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and
without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any
Advances to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial
institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to
support the funding or maintenance of Advances, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Advances to any rating agency, commercial paper
dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC;
provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed
only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph
(g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Advances outstanding at
the time of such proposed amendment. In addition, each Granting Lender granting an SPC the
option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender
would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (i) shall
keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of
each SPC which has funded all or any part of any Advance that such Lender would have
otherwise been obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, specifying such
SPC’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such Advance and
(ii) shall collect, prior to the time such SPC receives payments with respect to such funded
Advance, from each SPC the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in
Section 2.11 (and updated as required by Section 2.11) as if such SPC were a Lender under
Section 2.11, and each SPC that assigns all or a portion of its interests in any Advance to
any financial institution pursuant to this Section 10.06(g), (i) shall keep a register,
meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation section 5f.103-1(c), of each such financial
institution, specifying such financial institution’s entitlement to payments of principal
and interest with respect to such Advance and (ii) shall collect, prior to the time such
financial institution receives payments with respect to such funded Advance, from each such
financial institution the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in
Section 2.11 (and updated as required by Section 2.11) as if such financial institution were
a Lender under Section 2.11.

     (h) For purposes of this Section 10.06, if an Issuing Bank transfers its rights with
respect to the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit, (i)
such Issuing Bank shall give the Borrower and the Administrative Agent notice of such
transfer for notation in the Register, (ii) each such transfer may only be made upon
notation of such transfer in Register, and (iii) no such transfer will be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register.

     Section 10.07 Indemnification. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay, indemnify, or
reimburse each Lender, the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and their respective Related Parties
for, and hold each Lender, the Arranger, the Administrative Agent and such Related Parties harmless
from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or
resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or
administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or
modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Commitments, this Agreement,
any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein
or the transactions, and (b) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Arranger, the
Administrative Agent and their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and
hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions, including any of
the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Advances or the violation of, noncompliance
with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Parent, the
Borrower any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or the use by unauthorized Persons of
information or other materials sent through electronic telecommunications or other information
transmission systems that are intercepted by such Persons and the fees and disbursements and other
charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee
against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (b), collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation
hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent such
Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or
(ii) the loss in value to any Lender of any Advance or other

83

 

Obligations held by such Lender unrelated to any actions, penalties, judgments, suits,
noncompliance or violations of law covered by this Section 10.07. No Indemnitee shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent
through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are
intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in
connection with the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility. Without limiting the
foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to
cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to
waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims,
demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind
or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements for amounts payable by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to Christopher L. Bennett (Telephone No. 703-387.3332)
(Fax No. 703-387-3389), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.02, or to such other
Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative
Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Advances and all other
amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Section 10.07 shall not
be construed to expand the obligations of the Borrower for costs and expenses with respect to
counsel for the individual Lenders beyond those set forth in Section 10.04

     Section 10.08 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement.

     Section 10.09 Survival of Representations, Indemnifications, etc. All representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in
connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Credit
Documents, the making of the Advances and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders,
none of which investigations shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and
warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11(c), and
10.07 and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 9.05 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

     Section 10.10 Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 10.11 Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower and each Lender in
the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in
strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the
Advances of each Lender including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United
States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Lenders and the
Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration
for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate
and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute
interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in
the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken,
reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are
deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a
mistake and each Lender receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of its Advances (or
if such Advances shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event
that the maturity of the Advances is accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof
resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any
required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never
include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore paid, shall be credited on the applicable Advances (or, if the applicable Advances
shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower). In determining whether or not the
interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower
and the Lenders shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full term of the Advances all amounts
considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or

84

 

reserved in connection with the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall control
over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent
conflict herewith.

     Section 10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED, AND ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED IN

JURISDICTION OVER ANY DISPUTES RELATED HERETO, PROCEEDINGS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT IN
WHICH JURISDICTION OVER SUCH DISPUTE MAY BE ESTABLISHED.

     (B) OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY
INDEMNITEE SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN A COURT
IN ANY LOCATION TO ENABLE SUCH PERSON TO (1) OBTAIN PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER
OR (2) ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF SUCH PERSON. THE

JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE.

ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE
OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE
AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF
THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

any Guarantor, the power of the Lenders being limited to the right to exercise the remedies
provided in the Credit Documents; provided, however, that if any Lender becomes the
owner of any Ownership Interests in any Person, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, such
Lender shall be entitled (subject to requirements of law) to exercise such legal rights as it may
have by being owner of such Ownership Interests in such Person.

on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to any
of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates with respect to the

other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and the Borrower and each other Loan
Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has
deemed appropriate.  The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby waives and releases, to the
