Borrowers the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders in like
funds and currencies:

	 	(i)	 	for Prime-based Advances, not later than 4:00
p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Revolving Credit Advance, by
credit to an account of Borrowers maintained with Agent or to such
other account or third party as Borrowers may reasonably direct in
writing, provided such direction is timely given; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	for Eurodollar-based Advances, not later than
4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date of such Revolving Credit
Advance, by credit to an account of Borrowers maintained with Agent’s
Correspondent (at the office of the Agent in Detroit) or to such other
account or third party as Borrowers may direct, provided such direction
is timely given.

     (c) Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for the account of each
Revolving Credit Lender to such Revolving Credit Lender. Unless Agent shall have been notified by
any Revolving Credit Lender prior to the date of any proposed Revolving Credit Advance that such
Revolving Credit Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such amount
available to Agent on such date, as aforesaid. Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrowers the amount of such payment in
reliance on such assumption. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such
Revolving Credit Lender, as aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand
from such Revolving Credit Lender. If such Revolving Credit Lender does not pay such

37

 

amount
forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor and the Agent has in fact made a corresponding amount
available to Borrowers, the Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall pay such
amount to Agent, if such notice is delivered to Borrowers prior to 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on a
Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day, and such
amount paid by Borrowers shall be applied as a prepayment of the Revolving Credit (without any
corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment), reimbursing Agent for having
funded said amounts on behalf of such Revolving Credit Lender. Borrowers shall retain their claim
against such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to such Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make
its Percentage of such Advance available and the amounts repaid by it to Agent and, if such
Revolving Credit Lender subsequently makes such amounts available to Agent, Agent shall promptly
make such amounts available to Borrowers as a Revolving Credit Advance. Agent shall also be
entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender or Borrowers, as the case may be, but without
duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made
available by Agent to Borrowers, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to:

	 	(i)	 	in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender,
for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter, at the rate of interest
then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in the case of Borrowers, the rate of interest
then applicable to such Advance of the Revolving Credit.

Until such Revolving Credit Lender has paid Agent such amount, such Revolving Credit Lender shall
have no interest in or rights with respect to such Advance for any purpose whatsoever. The
obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance hereunder shall not
be affected by the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make any Advance hereunder, and
no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any liability to Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries, the
Agent, any other Revolving Credit Lender, or any other party for another Revolving Credit Lender’s
failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.

     2.5 Swing Line. (a) Swing Line Advances. The Swing Line Lender may, on the terms
and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation Section 2.5(c)
hereof), but shall not be required to, make one or more Advances (each such advance being a “Swing
Line Advance”) to Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the
Effective Date hereof until (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum Amount. Subject to the
terms set forth herein, advances, repayments and readvances may be made under the Swing Line.

     (b) Accrual of Interest and Maturity; Evidence of Indebtedness.

	 	(i)	 	Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness
of Borrowers to Swing Line Lender resulting from each Swing Line
Advance from time to time, including the amount and date of each

38

 

	 	 	 	Swing
Line Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period, if
any, and the amount and date of any repayment made on any Swing Line
Advance from time to time. The entries made in such account or accounts
of Swing Line Lender shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest
error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrowers
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Swing Line
Lender to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error therein,
shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay the
Swing Line Advances (and all other amounts owing with respect thereto)
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Borrowers agree that, upon the written request
of Swing Line Lender, Borrowers will execute and deliver to Swing Line
Lender a Swing Line Note.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Borrowers unconditionally promise to pay to
the Swing Line Lender the then unpaid principal amount of such Swing
Line Advance (plus all accrued and unpaid interest) on the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date and on such other dates and in such other amounts
as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Advance
shall, from time to time after the date of such Advance (until paid),
bear interest at its Applicable Interest Rate.

	 	(c)	 	Requests for Swing Line Advances. Borrowers may
request a Swing Line Advance by the delivery to Swing Line Lender of a Request
for Swing Line Advance executed by an Authorized Signer for Borrowers, subject
to the following:

	 	(i)	 	each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall
set forth the information required on the Request for Advance,
including without limitation, (A) the proposed date of such Swing Line
Advance, which must be a Business Day, (B) whether such Swing Line
Advance is to be a Prime-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance, and
(C) in the case of a Quoted Rate Advance, the duration of the Interest
Period applicable thereto;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	on the proposed date of such Swing Line
Advance, after giving effect to all outstanding requests for Swing Line
Advances made by Borrowers as of the date of determination, the
aggregate principal amount of all Swing Line Advances outstanding on
such date shall not exceed the Swing Line Maximum Amount;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	on the proposed date of such Swing Line
Advance, after giving effect to all outstanding requests for Revolving
Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit requested
by

39

 

	 	 	 	Borrowers on such date of determination (including, without
duplication, Advances that are deemed disbursed pursuant to Section 3.6
hereof), the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving
Credit Advances and the Swing Line Advances outstanding on such date
plus (y) the Dollar Amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations on such
date shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit Aggregate
Commitment and (B) the then applicable Borrowing Base;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	(A) in the case of a Swing Line Advance that is
a Prime-based Advance, the principal amount of the initial funding of
such Advance, as opposed to any refunding or conversion thereof, shall
be at least $250,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the
Swing Line Lender, and (B) in the case of a Swing Line Advance that is
a Quoted Rate Advance, the principal amount of such Advance, plus any
other outstanding Swing Line Advances to be then combined therewith
having the same Interest Period, if any, shall be at least $250,000 or
such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender, and at
any time there shall not be in effect more than three (3) Interest
Rates and Interest Periods;
	 
	 	(v)	 	each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall
be delivered to the Swing Line Lender by 3:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on
the proposed date of the Swing Line Advance;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	each Request for Swing Line Advance, once
delivered to Swing Line Lender, shall not be revocable by Borrowers,
and shall constitute and include a certification by Borrowers as of the
date thereof that:

	 	(A)	 	all conditions to the making of
Swing Line Advances set forth in this Agreement shall have been
satisfied (including, without limitation, the delivery of the
Borrowing Base Certificate as required in accordance with
Section 7.2(b) hereof) and shall remain satisfied to the date of
such Swing Line Advance (both before and immediately after
giving effect to such Swing Line Advance);
	 
	 	(B)	 	there is no Default or Event of
Default in existence, and none will exist upon the making of
such Swing Line Advance (both before and immediately after
giving effect to such Swing Line Advance); and
	 
	 	(C)	 	the representations and
warranties of the Credit Parties contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects and shall be true and correct in all material respect
as of the date of the

40

 

	 	 	 	making of such Swing Line Advance (both
before and immediately after giving effect to such Swing Line
Advance), other than any representation or warranty that
expressly speaks only as of a different date;

	 	(vii)	 	So long as Agent is the Swing Line Lender, if
Company requests, and Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees, Borrowers
may utilize the Agent’s “Sweep to Loan” automated system for obtaining
Swing Line Advances and making periodic repayments thereunder, subject
to revocation by Agent at any time and from time to time. At any time
during which the “Sweep to Loan” system is in effect, Swing Line
Advances shall be advanced to fund borrowing needs pursuant to the
terms of the Sweep Agreement. Each time a Swing Line Advance is made
using the “Sweep to Loan” system, Borrowers shall be deemed to have
certified to the Agent and the Lenders each of the matters set forth in
clause (vi) of this Section 2.5(b). Principal and interest on Swing
Line Advances requested, or deemed requested, pursuant to this Section
shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sweep
Agreement without any deduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever.
Unless sooner paid pursuant to the provisions hereof or the provisions
of the Sweep Agreement, the principal amount of the Swing Line Advances
shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Agent may suspend or revoke Borrowers’
privilege to use the “Sweep to Loan” system at any time and from time
to time for any reason and, immediately upon any such revocation, the
“Sweep to Loan” system shall no longer be available to Borrowers for
the funding of Swing Line Advances hereunder (or otherwise), and the
regular procedures set forth in this Section 2.5 for the making of
Swing Line Advances shall be deemed immediately to apply. Agent may, at
its option, also elect to make Swing Line Advances upon Borrowers’
telephone requests on the basis set forth in the last paragraph of
Section 2.3, provided that Borrowers comply with the provisions set
forth in this Section 2.5.

	 	(d)	 	Disbursement of Swing Line Advances. Upon receiving
any executed Request for Swing Line Advance from Borrowers and the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 2.5(c) hereof, Swing Line Lender shall
make available to Borrowers the amount so requested in Dollars not later than
4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance, by credit to an account
of Borrowers maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as
Borrowers may reasonably direct in writing, subject to
applicable law, provided such direction is timely given. Swing Line Lender
shall promptly notify Agent of any Swing Line Advance by telephone, telex or
telecopier.

41

 

	 	(e)	 	Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line
Advances.

	 	(i)	 	The Agent, at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion, may, in each case on behalf of Borrowers (which hereby
irrevocably direct the Agent to act on their behalf) request each of
the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender in its
capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender) to make an Advance of the
Revolving Credit to Borrowers, in an amount equal to such Revolving
Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate principal
amount of the Swing Line Advances outstanding on the date such notice
is given (the “Refunded Swing Line Advances”); provided however that
the Swing Line Advances carried at the Quoted Rate which are refunded
with Revolving Credit Advances at the request of the Swing Line Lender
at a time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing shall not be subject to Section 11.1 and no losses, costs or
expenses may be assessed by the Swing Line Lender against Borrowers or
the Revolving Credit Lenders as a consequence of such refunding. The
applicable Revolving Credit Advances used to refund any Swing Line
Advances shall be Prime-based Advances. In connection with the making
of any such Refunded Swing Line Advances or the purchase of a
participation interest in Swing Line Advances under Section 2.5(e)(ii)
hereof, the Swing Line Lender shall retain its claim against Borrowers
for any unpaid interest or fees in respect thereof accrued to the date
of such refunding. Unless any of the events described in Section 9.1(i)
hereof shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section
2.5(e)(ii) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions
precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of a Revolving
Credit Advance are then satisfied (but subject to Section 2.5(e)(iii)),
each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving
Credit Advance available to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Line
Lender at the office of the Agent specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof
prior to 11:00 a.m. Detroit time on the Business Day next succeeding
the date such notice is given, in immediately available funds. The
proceeds of such Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately applied
to repay the Refunded Swing Line Advances, subject to Section 11.1
hereof.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If, prior to the making of an Advance of the
Revolving Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(i) hereof, one of the
events described in Section 9.1(i) hereof shall have occurred, each
Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Advance of the Revolving
Credit was
to have been made, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided
participating interest in each Swing Line Advance that was to have
been refunded in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Percentage
of such Swing Line Advance. Each Revolving

42

 

	 	 	 	Credit Lender within the
time periods specified in Section 2.5(e)(i) hereof, as applicable,
shall immediately transfer to the Agent, for the benefit of the Swing
Line Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its
Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all
Swing Line Advances outstanding as of such date. Upon receipt
thereof, the Agent will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a
Swing Line Participation Certificate evidencing such participation.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to
make Revolving Credit Advances to refund Swing Line Advances, and to
purchase participation interests, in accordance with Section 2.5(e)(i)
and (ii), respectively, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A)
any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Revolving Credit Lender may have against Swing Line Lender,
Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (C) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any
Borrower or any other Person; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by any Borrower or any other Person; (E) any
inability of any Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to
borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such
Revolving Credit Advance is to be made or such participating interest
is to be purchased; (F) the termination of the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment hereunder; or (G) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing. If any Revolving Credit Lender does not make available to
the Agent the amount required pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(i) or (ii)
hereof, as the case may be, the Agent on behalf of the Swing Line
Lender, shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Revolving Credit Lender, together with interest thereon for each day
from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full (x) for
the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) thereafter, at the rate of
interest then applicable to such Swing Line Advances. The obligation of
any Revolving Credit Lender to make available its pro rata portion of
the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(i) or (ii) hereof shall
not be affected by the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to
make such amounts available, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall have
any liability to any Credit Party, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender, or
any other Revolving Credit Lender or any
other party for another Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make
available the amounts required under Section 2.5(e)(i) or (ii)
hereof.

43

 

	 	(iv)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Revolving
Credit Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Credit Advance to
refund a Swing Line Advance or to purchase a participation in a Swing
Line Advance if at least two (2) Business Days prior to the making of
such Swing Line Advance by the Swing Line Lender, the officers of the
Swing Line Lender immediately responsible for matters concerning this
Agreement shall have received written notice from Agent or any Lender
that Swing Line Advances should be suspended based on the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however that the obligation
of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances
(or purchase such participations) shall be reinstated upon the date on
which such Default or Event of Default has been waived by the requisite
Lenders.

     2.6 Interest Payments; Default Interest.

     (a) Interest on the unpaid balance of all Prime-based Advances of the Revolving Credit and the
Swing Line from time to time outstanding shall accrue from the date of such Advance to the date
repaid, at a per annum interest rate equal to the Prime-based Rate, and shall be payable in
immediately available funds commencing on July 1, 2008, and on the first day of each calendar
quarter thereafter. Whenever any payment under this Section 2.6(a) shall become due on a day which
is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day.
Interest accruing at the Prime-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and
assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation effect shall be given to
any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Prime-based Rate on the date of such
change in the Prime-based Rate.

     (b) Interest on each Eurodollar-based Advance of the Revolving Credit shall accrue at its
Eurodollar-based Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the
Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto (and, if any Eurodollar-Interest Period shall exceed
three months, then on the last Business Day of the third month of such Eurodollar-Interest Period,
and at three month intervals thereafter). Interest accruing at the Eurodollar-based Rate shall be
computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the
first day of the Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto to but not including the last day
thereof.

     (c) Interest on each Quoted Rate Advance of the Swing Line shall accrue at its Quoted Rate and
shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto. Interest accruing at the Quoted Rate shall be computed on the basis of
a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto to, but not including, the last day thereof.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sections, all accrued and unpaid
interest on any Revolving Credit Advance refunded or converted pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof and
any Swing Line Advance refunded pursuant to Section 2.5(e) hereof, shall be due and payable in full
on the date such Advance is refunded or converted.

44

 

     (e) In the case of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(i), immediately upon the occurrence
thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, immediately upon receipt by Agent of notice
from the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, interest shall be payable on demand on all Revolving
Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances from time to time outstanding at a per annum rate equal to
the Applicable Interest Rate in respect of each such Advance plus, in the case of Eurodollar-based
Advances and Quoted Rate Advances, two percent (2%) for the remainder of the then existing Interest
Period, if any, and at all other such times, and for all Prime-based Advances from time to time
outstanding, at a per annum rate equal to the Prime-based Rate plus two percent (2%).

     2.7 Optional Prepayments.

     (a) (i) Borrowers may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Prime-based
Advance(s) of the Revolving Credit at any time, provided that, unless the “Sweep to Loan” system
shall be in effect in respect of the Revolving Credit, after giving effect to any partial
prepayment, the aggregate balance of Prime-based Advance(s) of the Revolving Credit remaining
outstanding shall be at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), and (ii) subject to
Section 2.10(b) hereof, Borrowers may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any
Eurodollar-based Advance of the Revolving Credit at any time (subject to not less than three (3)
Business Day’s notice to Agent) provided that, after giving effect to any partial prepayment, the
unpaid portion of such Advance which is to be refunded or converted under Section 2.3 hereof shall
be at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

     (b) (i) Borrowers may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Swing Line
Advance carried at the Prime-based Rate at any time, provided that after giving effect to any
partial prepayment, the aggregate balance of such Prime-based Swing Line Advances remaining
outstanding shall be at least Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250,000) and (ii) subject to Section
2.10(b) hereof, Borrowers may prepay all or part of the outstanding principal of any Swing Line
Advance carried at the Quoted Rate at any time (subject to not less than one (1) day’s notice to
the Swing Line Lender) provided that after giving effect to any partial prepayment, the aggregate
balance of such Quoted Rate Swing Line Advances remaining outstanding shall be at least Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

     (c) Any prepayment of a Prime-based Advance made in accordance with this Section shall be
without premium or penalty and any prepayment of any other type of Advance shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 11.1 hereof, but otherwise without premium or penalty.

     2.8 Prime-based Advance in Absence of Election or Upon Default.
If, (a) as to any outstanding Eurodollar-based Advance of the Revolving Credit or any
outstanding Quoted Rate Advance of the Swing Line, Agent has not received payment of all
outstanding principal and accrued interest on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, or does not receive a timely Request for Advance meeting the requirements of Section 2.3
or 2.5 hereof with respect to the refunding or conversion of such Advance, or (b) if on the last
day of the applicable Interest Period a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then, on the last

45

 

day of the applicable Interest Period the principal amount of any
Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance, as the case may be, which has not been prepaid
shall, absent a contrary election of the Majority Revolving Credit Lenders, be converted
automatically to a Prime-based Advance and the Agent shall thereafter promptly notify Borrowers of
said action. All accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance converted to a Prime-based Advance
under this Section 2.8 shall be due and payable in full on the date such Advance is converted.

     2.9 Revolving Credit Facility Fee. From the Effective Date to the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Lenders pro-rata in
accordance with their respective Percentages, a Revolving Credit Facility Fee quarterly in arrears
commencing July 1, 2008, and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter (in respect of
the prior three months or any portion thereof). The Revolving Credit Facility Fee payable to each
Lender shall be determined by multiplying the Applicable Fee Percentage times the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment then in effect (whether used or unused). The Revolving Credit Facility Fee
shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and assessed for the
actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be
due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next Business Day. Upon receipt of such payment, Agent shall make prompt payment to each Lender of
its share of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee based upon its respective Percentage. It is
expressly understood that the Revolving Credit Facility Fees described in this Section are not
refundable.

     2.10 Mandatory Repayment of Revolving Credit Advances.

     (a) If at any time and for any reason the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving
Credit Advances plus Swing Line Advances, plus the amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations (as determined based on the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations), shall
exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and (ii) the then applicable
Borrowing Base (such amount, the “Excess”), Borrowers shall immediately reduce any pending request
for a Revolving Credit Advance on such day by the amount of such Excess and, to the extent any
Excess remains thereafter, repay any Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances in an amount
equal to the lesser of the outstanding amount of such Advances and the amount of such remaining
Excess, with such amounts to be applied between the Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line
Advances as determined by the Agent and then, to the extent that any excess remains after payment
in full of all Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances, to provide cash collateral in
support of any Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 105% of the
Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) the amount of such Excess, with such
cash collateral to be provided on the
basis set forth in Section 9.2 hereof; provided that, if any such excess shall exist solely as
a result of an adjustment to the Borrowing Base as a result of any reserves established by Agent
thereunder, such payment or providing of cash collateral shall not be required to occur until the
third Business Day following the date that Borrower is notified of such Excess. Borrowers
acknowledge that, in connection with any repayment required hereunder, it shall also be responsible
for the reimbursement of any prepayment or other costs required under Section 11.1 hereof. Any
payments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based Advances
under the Revolving Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the Prime-based Rate and then to
Eurodollar-based Advances of the Revolving Credit, and then to Swing

46

 

Line Advances carried at the
Quoted Rate. To the extent of any Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency,
compliance with this Section 2.10(a) shall be tested on a daily or other basis satisfactory to
Agent in its sole discretion, provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Agent shall not be required to test compliance with this Section 2.10(a) more
than monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Excess shall exist solely as a result of
a currency fluctuation, such payment or providing of cash collateral shall not be required to occur
until the third Business Day following the date that Borrower is notified of such Excess so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing at such time.

     (b) To the extent that, on the date any mandatory repayment of the Revolving Credit Advances
under this Section 2.10 or payment pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents is due, the
Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit or any other Indebtedness to be prepaid is being carried,
in whole or in part, at the Eurodollar-based Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Borrowers may deposit the amount of such mandatory prepayment in a cash
collateral account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on
such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and upon such deposit the
obligation of Borrowers to make such mandatory prepayment shall be deemed satisfied. Subject to the
terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on deposit in said cash collateral
account shall be applied (until exhausted) to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Credit
on the last day of each Eurodollar-Interest Period attributable to the Eurodollar-based Advances of
such Revolving Advance, thereby avoiding breakage costs under Section 11.1 hereof; provided,
however, that if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred at any time while sums are on
deposit in the cash collateral account, Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply such sums
to reduce the principal balance of such Eurodollar-based Advances prior to the last day of the
applicable Eurodollar-Interest Period, and Borrowers will be obligated to pay any resulting
breakage costs under Section 11.1.

     2.11 Optional Reduction or Termination of Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. Borrowers
may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, permanently reduce
the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment in whole at any time, or in part from time to time,
without premium or penalty, provided that: (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or a
larger integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); (ii) each reduction shall be
accompanied by the payment of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee, if any, accrued and unpaid to the
date of such reduction; (iii) Borrowers shall prepay in accordance with the terms hereof the
amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances (including, without
duplication, any deemed Advances made under Section 3.6 hereof) outstanding hereunder, plus the
Letter of Credit Obligations (as determined based on the Dollar Amount of such Letter of Credit
Obligations), exceeds the amount of the then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as so
reduced, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment; (iv) no reduction shall reduce
the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment to an amount which is less than the aggregate undrawn
amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding at such time; and (v) no such reduction shall reduce
the Swing Line Maximum Amount unless Borrowers so elect, provided that the Swing Line Maximum
Amount shall at no time be greater than the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment; provided,
however that if the termination or reduction of the

Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment requires
the prepayment of a Eurodollar-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance and such termination or
reduction is made on a day other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period
applicable to such Eurodollar-based Advance or such Quoted Rate Advance, then, pursuant to Section
11.1, Borrowers shall compensate the Revolving Credit Lenders and/or the Swing Line Lender for any
losses or, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may
deposit the amount of such prepayment in a collateral account as provided in Section 2.10(b).
Reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and any accompanying prepayments of
Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be distributed by Agent to each Revolving Credit Lender in
accordance with such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof, and will not be
available for reinstatement by or readvance to Borrowers, and any accompanying prepayments of
Advances of the Swing Line shall be distributed by Agent to the Swing Line Lender and will not be
available for reinstatement by or readvance to Borrowers. Any reductions of the Revolving Credit
Aggregate Commitment hereunder shall reduce each Revolving Credit Lender’s portion thereof
proportionately (based on the applicable Percentages), and shall be permanent and irrevocable. Any
payments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based Advances
under the Revolving Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the Prime-based Rate and then to
Eurodollar-based Advances of the Revolving Credit, and then to Swing Line Advances carried at the
Quoted Rate.

     2.12 Use of Proceeds of Advances. Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be used to
refinance existing debt, to finance the Nitram Acquisition and to provide working capital and for
other lawful corporate purposes.

     2.13 Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

	 	(a)	 	Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Borrowers may, by written notice to Agent (with sufficient
copies for each Lender) (which notice shall be irrevocable and which shall not
be deemed effective unless actually received by Agent) prior to December 31,
2010, but not before November 30, 2010, request that the Lenders extend the
then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date to a date that is one year later
than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date then in effect (each such request, a
“Request”). Each Lender shall, not later than
sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice (“Lender Notice Date”), give
written notice to the Agent stating whether such Lender is willing to extend
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as requested. If Agent has received the
aforesaid written approvals of such Request from each of the Lenders, then,
effective upon the date of Agent’s receipt of all such written approvals
from the Lenders, as aforesaid, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be
so extended for an additional one year period from the current date of
maturity, the term Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall mean such extended
date and Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers that such extension has
occurred.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If (i) any Lender gives the Agent written notice that it is
unwilling to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date as requested or (ii) any
Lender

48

 

	 	 	 	fails to provide written approval to Agent of such a Request on or
before the applicable Lender Notice Date, then (w) the Lenders shall be deemed
to have declined to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (x) the
then-current Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall remain in effect (with no
further right on the part of Borrowers to request extensions thereof under this
Section 2.12), and (y) the commitments of the Lenders to make Advances of the
Revolving Credit hereunder shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date then in effect, and Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof.

other documents and materials as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof
and any information relating to the transaction supported by the proposed
Letter of Credit (and the parties to such transaction) reasonably requested by
Issuing Lender to allow it to conduct list-checking or similar measures under
any applicable anti-terrorism law or regulation (including without limitation
those referred to in Section 6.7, 7.4 and 7.16 hereof (all such laws and
regulations, as in effect from time to time, the “Anti-Terrorism Law(s)”) and
the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to
Issuing Lender;
	 
	 	(f)	 	no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or
Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain Issuing
Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit requested, or any Revolving Credit
Lender from taking an assignment of its Revolving Credit Percentage thereof
pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof, and no law, rule, regulation, request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) shall prohibit the Issuing
Lender from issuing, or any Revolving Credit Lender from taking an assignment

governmental agency or authority on transactions involving letters of credit

Revolving Credit Lender to take an assignment of its Revolving Credit
Percentage of the requested Letter of Credit or letters of credit generally;
and
	 
	 	(h)	 	Issuing Lender shall have received the issuance fees required
in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section
3.4 hereof.

Each Letter of Credit Agreement submitted to Issuing Lender pursuant hereto shall constitute the
certification by Borrowers of the matters set forth in Sections 5.2 hereof. The Agent shall be
entitled to rely on such certification without any duty of inquiry.

     3.3 Notice. The Issuing Lender shall deliver to the Agent, concurrently with or promptly
following its issuance of any Letter of Credit, a true and complete copy of each Letter

52

 

of Credit.
In the case of Standby Letters of Credit, promptly upon its receipt thereof, Agent shall give
notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1, to each Revolving Credit Lender
of the issuance of each Standby Letter of Credit, specifying the amount thereof and the amount of
such Revolving Credit Lender’s Percentage thereof. In the case of Documentary Letters of Credit,
Agent shall give notice (a) quarterly and (b) promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
substantially in the form of notice attached hereto as Exhibit E-2, to each Revolving Credit Lender
of the Documentary Letters of Credit then outstanding.

     3.4 Letter of Credit Fees; Increased Costs. (a) Borrowers shall pay letter of credit
fees as follows:

	 	(i)	 	A per annum letter of credit fee with respect
to the undrawn amount of each Standby Letter of Credit issued pursuant
hereto (based on the Dollar Amount of each Standby Letter of Credit) in
the amount of the Applicable Fee Percentage (determined with reference
to Schedule 1.1 to this Agreement) shall be paid to the Agent for
distribution to the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their
Revolving Credit Percentages.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	A letter of credit facing fee on the face
amount of each Letter of Credit shall be paid to the Agent for
distribution to the Issuing Lender for its own account, in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Fee Letter.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Letter of Credit Fees (including any per annum
fee) in connection with Documentary Letters of Credit as shall be
agreed to between Borrowers and the Issuing Lender, to be paid by the
Borrowers to
the Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders in
accordance with their Revolving Credit Percentages.

	 	(b)	 	All payments by Borrowers to the Agent for distribution to the
Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Section 3.4 shall be
made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Issuing Office or such
other office of the Agent as may be designated from time to time by written
notice to Borrowers by the Agent. The fees described above (i) shall be
nonrefundable under all circumstances, (ii) in the case of fees due under
clause (a)(i) above, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of
each calendar quarter, (iii) in the case of fees due under clause (a)(ii)
above, shall be payable upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit and upon any
amendment thereto or extension thereof and (iv) in the case of fees due under
clause (a)(iii) above, such fees shall be determined and paid as agreed to
between the Borrowers and the Issuing Lender. The fees due under clause (a)(i)
above shall be determined by multiplying the Applicable Fee Percentage times
the undrawn amount of the face amount of each such Letter of Credit on the date
of determination, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and
assessed for the actual number of days from the date of the issuance thereof to
the stated

53

 

	 	 	 	expiration thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that, unless the
Issuing Lender otherwise agrees, any material amendment and any extension to a
Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be treated as a new Letter of Credit
for the purposes of the letter of credit facing fee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation
thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with
the administration thereof, adopted after the date hereof, shall either (i)
impose, modify or cause to be deemed applicable any reserve, special deposit,
limitation or similar requirement against letters of credit issued or
participated in by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of,
Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender or (ii) impose on Issuing Lender
or any Revolving Credit Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement,
the Letters of Credit or any participations in such Letters of Credit, and the
result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to
increase the cost or expense to Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender
of issuing or maintaining or participating in any of the Letters of Credit
(which increase in cost or expense shall be determined by the Issuing Lender’s
or such Revolving Credit Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of
such cost increases and expenses resulting from such events), then, upon demand
by the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be,
Borrowers shall, within thirty (30) days following demand for payment, pay to
Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, from time
to time as specified by the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender,
additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Lender
or such Revolving Credit Lender for such increased cost and
expense (together with interest on each such amount from ten days after the
date such payment is due until payment in full thereof at the Prime-based
Rate), provided that if the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender
could take any reasonable action, without cost or administrative or other
burden or restriction to such Lender, to mitigate or eliminate such cost or
expense, it agrees to do so within a reasonable time after becoming aware of
the foregoing matters. Each demand for payment under this Section 3.4(c)
shall be accompanied by a certificate of Issuing Lender or the applicable
Revolving Credit Lender setting forth the amount of such increased cost or
expense incurred by the Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, as
the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii)
above, and in reasonable detail, the methodology for calculating and the
calculation of such amount, which certificate shall be prepared in good
faith and shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, as to the
amount thereof.

     3.5 Other Fees. In connection with the Letters of Credit, and in addition to the Letter
of Credit Fees, Borrowers shall pay, for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, standard
documentation, administration, payment and cancellation charges assessed by Issuing Lender or

54

 

the
Issuing Office, at the times, in the amounts and on the terms set forth or to be set forth from
time to time in the standard fee schedule of the Issuing Office in effect from time to time.

     3.6 Participation Interests in and Drawings and Demands for Payment Under Letters of
Credit.

     (a) Upon issuance by the Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit hereunder (and on the
Effective Date with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit), each Revolving Credit Lender shall
automatically acquire a pro rata participation interest in such Letter of Credit and each related
Letter of Credit Payment based on its respective Revolving Credit Percentage.

     (b) If the Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made
under any Letter of Credit, Borrowers agree to pay to the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the
amount paid by the Issuing Lender in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of
Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Agent relative thereto not later than
1:00 p.m. (Detroit time), in Dollars or, if the applicable Letter of Credit was denominated in an
Alternate Currency, in such Alternate Currency), on (i) the Business Day that Borrowers receive
notice of such presentment and honor, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time)
or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrowers received such notice, if such
notice is received after 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time).

     (c) If the Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made
under any Letter of Credit, but Borrowers do not reimburse the Issuing Lender as required under
clause (b) above and the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment has not been terminated (whether by
maturity, acceleration or otherwise), the Borrowers shall be deemed to have immediately requested
that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Prime-based Advance of
the Revolving Credit (which Advance may be subsequently converted at any time into a
Eurodollar-based Advance pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof) in the principal amount equal to the
amount paid by the Issuing Lender in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of
Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Agent relative thereto. Agent will
promptly notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of such deemed request, and each such Lender shall
make available to the Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Credit
Percentage) of the Dollar Amount of such Advance.

     (d) If the Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made
under any Letter of Credit, but Borrowers do not reimburse the Issuing Lender as required under
clause (b) above, and (i) the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment has been terminated (whether by
maturity, acceleration or otherwise), or (iii) any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender
from Borrowers (or any one of them) is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise, then Agent shall notify each
Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender will be obligated to pay the Agent for
the account of the Issuing Lender its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Credit Percentage) of
the Dollar Amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Lender in respect of such draft or other
demand under such Letter of Credit and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Agent
relative thereto (but no such payment shall diminish the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder).
Upon receipt thereof, the Agent will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a participation
certificate evidencing its participation interest in respect

55

 

of such payment and expenses. To the
extent that a Revolving Credit Lender fails to make such amount available to the Agent by 11:00 am
Detroit time on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given, such Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount
was required to be paid, to the date paid to Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Effective Rate. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make its pro rata portion of any
such amount available under to the Agent shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its
obligation to make available its pro rata portion of such amount, but no Revolving Credit Lender
shall be responsible for failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make such pro rata portion
available to the Agent.

     (e) If the Borrowers fail to deliver to Agent cash collateral as required under Section
3.2(a)(i)(B)(iii), the Agent may, at its option, require that Borrower make a deemed request that
the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Prime-based Advance of the Revolving Credit (which Advance may
be subsequently converted at any time into a Eurodollar-based Advance pursuant to Section 2.3
hereof) in an aggregate amount necessary to satisfy the Borrowers’ obligations to deliver such cash
collateral under Section 3.2(a)(i)(B)(iii). Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Credit
Lenders of such deemed request, and each such Lender shall make available to the Agent an amount
equal to its pro rata share (based on its Revolving Credit Percentage) of the Dollar Amount of such
Advance.

     (f) In the case of any Advance made under this Section 3.6, each such Advance shall be
disbursed notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any conditions for disbursement of any Advance set
forth in Article 2 hereof or Section 5.1 hereof, and, to the extent of the Advance so disbursed,
the Reimbursement Obligation of Borrowers to the Agent under this Section 3.6 or the obligation of
the Borrowers to deliver cash collateral as required under Section 3.2(a)(i)(B)(iii), as the case
may be, shall be deemed satisfied (unless, in each case, taking into account any such
deemed Advances, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances of the Revolving
Credit and the Swing Line, plus the Letter of Credit Obligations (other than the Reimbursement
Obligations to be reimbursed by this Advance) on such date exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base
or the then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment).

     (g) If the Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made
under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrowers on the
date such draft or demand is honored, and to each Revolving Credit Lender on such date unless
Borrowers shall have satisfied its reimbursement obligations by payment to the Agent (for the
benefit of the Issuing Lender) as required under this Section 3.6. The Issuing Lender shall
further use reasonable efforts to provide notice to Borrowers prior to honoring any such draft or
other demand for payment, but such notice, or the failure to provide such notice, shall not affect
the rights or obligations of the Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit or the rights
and obligations of the parties hereto, including without limitation the obligations of Borrowers
under this Section 3.6.

     (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing however no Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have
acquired a participation in a Letter of Credit if the officers of the Issuing Lender immediately
responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice from Agent or
any Lender at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the issuance or extension of such
Letter of Credit or, with respect to any Letter of Credit subject to automatic

56

 

extension, at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the date that the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit must be
notified that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed, that the issuance or extension of Letters
of Credit should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however that the Revolving
Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have acquired such a participation upon the date on which such
Default or Event of Default has been waived by the requisite Lenders, as applicable. In the event
that the Issuing Lender receives such a notice, the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to
issue any Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by Agent or such Lender or until the
requisite Lenders have waived such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

     (i) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or authorize any Revolving Credit
Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, it being recognized that the Issuing Lender shall be the sole
issuer of Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

     3.7 Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of Borrowers to make payments to Agent for
the account of Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to Letter of Credit
Obligations under Section 3.6 hereof, shall be unconditional and irrevocable and not subject to any
qualification or exception whatsoever, including, without limitation:

	 	(a)	 	Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit,
any Letter of Credit Agreement, any other documentation relating to any Letter
of Credit, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the “Letter of
Credit Documents”);
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any
substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in
collateral or security, with respect to or under any Letter of Credit Document;
	 
	 	(c)	 	The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right
which Borrowers may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee
of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Issuing
Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any of the Letter of Credit Documents, the
transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transactions;
	 
	 	(d)	 	Any draft or other statement or document presented under any
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in
any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
	 
	 	(e)	 	Payment by the Issuing Lender to the beneficiary under any
Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any
reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit;
	 
	 	(f)	 	Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Agent,
Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender or any party to any of the Letter
of

57

 

	 	 	 	Credit Documents to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy
conferred upon the Agent, Issuing Lender, any Revolving Credit Lender or any
such party under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the
Letter of Credit Documents, or any other acts or omissions on the part of the
Agent, Issuing Lender, any Revolving Credit Lender or any such party; or
	 
	 	(g)	 	Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of
this Section 3.7, result in the release or discharge by operation of law or
otherwise of Borrowers from the performance or observance of any obligation,
covenant or agreement contained in Section 3.6 hereof.

No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or
nature which Borrowers have or may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be
available hereunder to Borrowers against the Agent, Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender.
With respect to any Letter of Credit, nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to
prevent Borrowers (i) after satisfaction in full of the absolute and unconditional obligations of
Borrowers hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit, from asserting in a separate action any
claim, defense, set off or other right which they (or any of them) may have against Agent, Issuing
Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit or (ii) from
asserting a claim for actual direct damages (as opposed to special, punitive or indirect (including
claims for lost profits or other consequential damages) damages, claims in respect of which are
hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers
that are caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the
Issuing Bank in determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof.

     3.8 Risk Under Letters of Credit.

     (a) In the administration and handling of Letters of Credit and any security therefor, or any
documents or instruments given in connection therewith, Issuing Lender shall have the sole right to
take or refrain from taking any and all actions under or upon the Letters of Credit.

     (b) Subject to other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Issuing Lender shall issue the
Letters of Credit and shall hold the documents related thereto in its own name and shall make all
collections thereunder and otherwise administer the Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuing
Lender’s regularly established practices and procedures and will have no further obligation with
respect thereto. In the administration of Letters of Credit, Issuing Lender shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted on the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     6.9 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereof, there is no suit, action,
proceeding, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy proceeding or governmental investigation
pending against or to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened against any Credit Party (other than
any suit, action or proceeding in which a Credit Party is the plaintiff and in which no
counterclaim or cross-claim against such Credit Party has been filed), or any judgment, decree,
injunction, rule, or order of any court, government, department, commission, agency,
instrumentality or arbitrator outstanding against any Credit Party, nor is any Credit Party in
violation of any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, order, injunction, decree or requirement of
any governmental body or court which could in any of the foregoing events reasonably be expected to

threatened attack (in each case in any material respect) by appeal or direct proceeding or
otherwise.

     6.11 No Investment Company or Margin Stock. No Credit Party is an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Credit Party is engaged

maintained and funded in accordance with its terms and is in material compliance with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA. No Credit Party has had a complete or partial
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to have

existing or which may hereafter exist, which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any
sale made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, on any claim for interest on the Notes,
or any security interest or mortgage contemplated by or granted under or in

100

 

connection with this
Agreement. These waivers have been voluntarily given, with full knowledge of the consequences
thereof.

     9.5 Waiver of Defaults. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Lenders except in a
writing signed by an officer of the Agent in accordance with Section 13.10 hereof. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any delay in the exercise thereof,
shall preclude other or further exercise of their rights by Agent or the Lenders. No waiver of any
Event of Default shall extend to any other or further Event of Default. No forbearance on the part
of the Agent or the Lenders in enforcing any of their rights shall constitute a waiver of any of
their rights. Borrowers expressly agree that this Section may not be waived or modified by the
Lenders or Agent by course of performance, estoppel or otherwise.

     9.6 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each
Lender may at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrowers but subject to the
provisions of Section 10.3 hereof (any requirement for such notice being expressly waived by
Borrowers), setoff and apply against any and all of the obligations of Borrowers now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement, whether owing to such Lender, any Affiliate of such Lender or any
other
Lender or the Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the
credit or the account of Borrowers and any property of Borrowers from time to time in possession of
such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such deposits held or indebtedness owing by such Lender
may be contingent and unmatured and regardless of whether any Collateral then held by Agent or any
Lender is adequate to cover the Indebtedness. Promptly following any such setoff, such Lender shall
give written notice to Agent and Borrowers of the occurrence thereof. Borrowers hereby grant to the
Lenders and the Agent a lien on and security interest in all such deposits, indebtedness and
property as collateral security for the payment and performance of all of the obligations of
Borrowers under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.6 are in addition to
the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such
Lender may have.

10. PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS.

     10.1 Payment Procedure.

     (a) All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments
made by Borrowers of principal, interest or fees hereunder shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement and must be received by Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date such payment is required or intended to be made
in Dollars in immediately available funds to Agent at Agent’s office located at One Detroit Center,
Detroit, Michigan 48226-3289, for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders in the case
of payments in respect of the Revolving Credit and any Letter of Credit Obligations, for the
ratable benefit of the Term Loan Lenders in the case of payments in respect of the Term Loan.
Payments in respect of any Advance in any Alternate Currency shall be made in such Alternate
Currency in immediately available funds for the account of Agent’s Eurocurrency Lending Office, at
Agent’s Correspondent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Detroit
time). Any payment received by the

101

 

Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Detroit time) shall be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Upon
receipt of each such payment, the Agent shall make prompt payment to each applicable Lender, or, in
respect of Eurodollar-based Advances, such Lender’s Eurodollar Lending Office, in like funds and
currencies, of all amounts received by it for the account of such Lender.

     (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by Borrowers at least two (2)
Business Days prior to the date on which any payment to be made by Borrowers is due that Borrowers
do not intend to remit such payment, the Agent may, in its sole discretion and without obligation
to do so, assume that Borrowers have remitted such payment when so due and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender,
as the case may be, on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed
payment. If Borrowers have not in fact remitted such payment to the Agent, each Lender shall
forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available or
transferred to such Lender, together with the interest
thereon, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by
the Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at a rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first two (2) Business Days that such amount remains
unpaid, and thereafter at a rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances.

     (c) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1 of this Agreement, whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
included in computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment.

     (d) All payments to be made by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the Notes (including
without limitation payments under the Swing Line and/or Swing Line Note) shall be made without
setoff or counterclaim, as aforesaid, and, subject to compliance by each Lender (and each assignee
and participant pursuant to Section 13.8, as applicable) with Section 13.13, without deduction for
or on account of any present or future withholding or other taxes of any nature imposed by any
Governmental Authority or of any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of
which such Governmental Authority may at the time of payment be a member (other than (x) any such
taxes on capital or the overall income, net income, net profits or net receipts or similar taxes
(or any franchise taxes imposed in lieu of such taxes) on the Agent or any Lender (or any branch
maintained by Agent or a Lender) as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or
such Lender and the Governmental Authority, political subdivision, federation or organization
imposing such taxes, and (y) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America (all
such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings not excluded under the clauses
(x) or (y) of this Section 10.1 being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”) unless Borrowers are
compelled by law to make payment subject to such tax. In such event, Borrowers shall:

	 	(i)	 	pay to the Agent for Agent’s own account
and/or, as the case may be, for the account of the Lenders such
additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Agent and/or
such Lender or 

102

 

	 	 	 	Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) receive a net
amount equal to the full amount which would have been receivable had
payment not been made subject to such Tax; and

	 	(ii)	 	remit such Tax to the relevant taxing
authorities according to applicable law, and send to the Agent or the
applicable Lender or Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), as the
case may be, such certificates or certified copy receipts as the Agent
or such Lender or Lenders shall reasonably require as proof of the
payment by Borrowers of any such taxes payable by Borrowers;

provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts
pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(i) or any amounts pursuant to Section 13.14 hereof to the extent
that: (i) the obligation to pay such additional amounts or any amounts under Section 13.14
hereof would not have arisen but for a failure for any reason by such
Lender (or permitted assignee) to comply with its obligations under Section 13.13 to provide
certain forms or other evidence necessary to establish its entitlement to complete exemption
from U.S. withholding tax (other than a failure that results exclusively from the change in
any law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation or application
thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date on which such Lender (or permitted
assignee) first became a party to this Agreement); (ii) with respect to an assignee Lender,
the obligation to withhold U.S. taxes (other than any such obligation in respect of a
Foreign Subsidiary of any Borrower which becomes a Borrower or Guarantor) existed on the
date such assignee Lender became a party to this Agreement, or with respect to payments to a
lending office newly designated by a Lender (a “New Lending Office”), the date such Lender
designated such New Lending Office with respect to the applicable Loan; provided, however,
that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent the additional amounts any Lender (or
transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to
this clause (ii)) do not exceed the additional amounts that the person making the transfer,
or Lender (or transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been
entitled to receive in the absence of such transfer or designation; (iii) the certifications
made in any forms or other evidence provided by such Lender under Section 13.13 were untrue
or inaccurate on the date delivered in any material respect; (iv) such Lender is claiming an
exemption from withholding of United States Federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code
sections 871(h) or 881(c) but is unable at any time to make the representations and
warranties set forth in clauses (A) — (C) of Section 13.13(a)(1); or (v) such non-U.S.
Lender is treated as a “conduit entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.881-3 or any successor provision.

     In the event Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any
Lender pursuant to this Section 10.1(d), then such Lender shall use good faith diligent efforts to
file any certificate or document reasonably requested by Borrowers or to designate a Lending Office
from a different jurisdiction (if such Lending Office is maintained by such Lender) so as to
eliminate or reduce any such additional payments by Borrowers which may accrue in the future,
provided Lender shall incur or suffer no material cost or expense as a result thereof. If Agent or
a Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been

103

 

indemnified by
Borrower pursuant to Section 13.14 or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) (provided that Lenders shall be under no obligation to apply for
or otherwise seek such refund), it shall promptly pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such
refund and any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund,
provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over
to Borrower to Agent or such Lender to the extent that Agent or such Lender is required to repay or
otherwise disgorge the applicable refund to such Governmental Authority.

     10.2 Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(i), immediately following the
occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, upon the termination of the
Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, the acceleration of any Indebtedness arising under this
Agreement and/or the
exercise of any other remedy in each case by the requisite Lenders under Section 9.2 hereof,
the Agent shall apply the proceeds of any Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments
by any Credit Party or others and any other sums received or collected in respect of the
Indebtedness first, to pay all incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Agent under the Loan
Documents and any protective advances made by Agent with respect to the Collateral under or
pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, next, to pay any fees and expenses owed to the Issuing
Lender hereunder, next, to the Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit (including the Swing Line
and any Reimbursement Obligations), the Term Loan and any obligations owing by any Credit Party
under any Hedging Agreements on a pro rata basis, next, to any other Indebtedness on a pro rata
basis, and then, if there is any excess, to the Credit Parties, as the case may be.

     10.3 Pro-rata Recovery. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether
voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of principal of, or
interest on, any of the Advances made by it, or the participations in Letter of Credit Obligations
or Swing Line Advances held by it in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter
obtained by all Lenders upon principal of and interest on all such Indebtedness, such Lender shall
purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit, the Term Loan and/or
the Letter of Credit Obligation held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender
to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably in accordance with the applicable Percentages
of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other
recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

11. CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS.

     11.1 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If (i) Borrowers make any payment of principal
with respect to any Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance on any day other than the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, pursuant to any mandatory
provisions hereof, by acceleration, or otherwise); (ii) Borrowers convert or refund (or attempt to
convert or refund) any such Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto (except as described in Section 2.5(e)); (iii) Borrowers fail to borrow, refund
or convert any Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance after notice

104

 

has been given by
Borrowers to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance; or (iv) or if any
Borrower fails to make any payment of principal in respect of a Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted
Rate Advance when due, Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender,
as the case may be, within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor for any resulting
loss, cost or expense incurred (excluding the loss of any Applicable Margin) by Agent and Lenders,
as the case may be, as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or
expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties,
whether or not Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, shall have funded or committed to fund such
Advance. The amount payable hereunder by Borrowers to Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any
Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to equal an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment
or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest
Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over
(b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Agent and Lenders, as the case may be)
which would have accrued to Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, on such amount by placing such
amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.
Calculation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this paragraph shall be made as though such
Lender shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of
an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity
comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that any Lender may fund any
Eurodollar-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance, as the case may be, in any manner it deems fit and
the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts
payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall
deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and
expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.

     11.2 Eurodollar Lending Office. For any Eurodollar Advance, if Agent or a Lender, as
applicable, shall designate a Eurodollar Lending Office which maintains books separate from those
of the rest of Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have the
option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such Eurodollar Lending
Office.

     11.3 Circumstances Affecting Eurodollar-based Rate Availability. If, with respect to any
Eurodollar-Interest Period, Agent or the Majority Lenders (after consultation with Agent) shall
determine in good faith that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and
interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars or in any applicable Alternate Currency, as
the case may be, in the applicable amounts are not being offered to the Agent or such Lenders for
such Eurodollar-Interest Period, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrowers.
Thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the
obligation of Lenders to make Eurodollar-based Advances, and the right of Borrowers to convert an
Advance to or refund an Advance as a Eurodollar-based Advance, as the case may be, shall be
suspended, and (ii) effective upon the last day of each Eurodollar-Interest Period related to any
existing Eurodollar-based Advance, each such Eurodollar-based Advance shall automatically be
converted into a Prime-based Advance (without regard to satisfaction of any conditions to
conversion contained elsewhere herein).

105

 

     11.4 Laws Affecting Eurodollar-based Advance Availability. If, after the date of this
Agreement, the adoption or introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or
regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of
their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) to
honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance with interest at the
Eurodollar-based Rate, such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrowers and to Agent.
Thereafter, (a) the obligations of the applicable Lenders to make Eurodollar-based Advances and the
right of Borrowers to convert an Advance into or refund an Advance as a Eurodollar-based Advance
shall be suspended and thereafter Borrowers may select as Applicable Interest Rates only those
which remain available and which are permitted to be selected hereunder, and (b) if any of the
Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance to the end of the then current
Eurodollar-Interest Period applicable thereto as a Eurodollar-based Advance, the applicable Advance
shall immediately be converted to a Prime-based Advance and the Prime-based Rate shall be
applicable thereto for the remainder of such Eurodollar-Interest Period. For purposes of this
Section, a change in law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration shall include, without
limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, rule, regulation,
interpretation or administration presently in force, the effective date of which change is delayed
by the terms of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration.

     11.5 Increased Cost of Eurodollar-based Advances. If, after the date of this Agreement,
the adoption or introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the
Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

	 	(a)	 	shall subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective
Eurodollar Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to
any Advance or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the
Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) of the
principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amounts due under this
Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the
overall net income of any of the Lenders or any of their respective Eurodollar
Lending Offices); or
	 
	 	(b)	 	shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including,
without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the Lenders
(or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) or shall impose on any
of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices) or the
foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any
Advance;

106

 

and the result of any of the foregoing matters is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of
maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as a Eurodollar-based Advance or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement in respect of a
Eurodollar-based Advance, then such Lender shall promptly notify Agent, and Agent
shall promptly notify Borrowers of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within ten (10)
Business Days after such notice, Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender or Lenders such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction,
provided that each Lender agrees to take any reasonable action, to the extent such action could be
taken without cost or administrative or other burden or restriction to such Lender, to mitigate or
eliminate such cost or reduction, within a reasonable time after becoming aware of the foregoing
matters. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers of any event of which it has knowledge which will
entitle Lenders to compensation pursuant to this Section, or which will cause Borrowers to incur
additional liability under Section 11.1 hereof, provided that Agent shall incur no liability
whatsoever to the Lenders or Borrowers in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of Agent (or
such Lender, if applicable) setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Lenders shall accompany such demand and shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct absent manifest error.

     11.6 Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs.

	 	(a)	 	If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption or
introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or
regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether
or not presently applicable to any Lender or Agent, or any interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or Agent
with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not
having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines, affects
or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender
or Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender or Agent) and such Lender
or Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s or Agent’s
obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s or Agent’s (or such controlling
corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Advances
hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Agent (or such controlling
corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Lender or Agent to be material (collectively, “Increased
Costs”), then Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrowers, and thereafter
Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, within ten
(10) Business Days of written demand therefor from such Lender or Agent,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Agent (or such
controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced
rate of return which such Lender or Agent reasonably determines to be allocable
to the existence of such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder.

107

 

	 	 	 	A statement setting forth the amount of such compensation, the methodology for
the calculation and the calculation thereof which shall
also be prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or
Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Lender or by Agent to
Borrowers, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described
in this Section 11.6(a) and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct,
absent manifest error.

	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Borrowers shall not be
required to pay any increased costs under Sections 11.5, 11.6 or 3.4(c) for any
period ending prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the making of a
Lender’s initial request for such additional amounts unless the applicable
change in law or other event resulting in such increased costs is effective
retroactively to a date more than 180 days prior to the date of such request,
in which case a Lender’s request for such additional amounts relating to the
period more than 180 days prior to the making of the request must be given not
more than 180 days after such Lender becomes aware of the applicable change in
law or other event resulting in such increased costs.

     11.7 Right of Lenders to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Lender (including
without limitation the Swing Line Lender) may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any
Advance hereunder by designating a branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance;
provided that (a) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performances of its
obligations hereunder and (b) no such designation shall result in any material increased costs to
Borrowers, including without limitation, increased costs to Borrowers under Section 10.1.

     11.8 Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 11.6 or
11.7, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 13.13, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Sections 11.6, 11.7 or 13.13, as the case may be,
in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender for actions taken pursuant to this Section 11.8.

     11.9 Margin Adjustment. Adjustments to the Applicable Margins and the Applicable Fee
Percentages, based on Schedule 1.1, shall be implemented on a quarterly basis as follows:

	 	(a)	 	Such adjustments shall be given prospective effect only,
effective as to all Advances outstanding hereunder, the Applicable Fee
Percentage and the Letter of Credit Fee, upon the date of delivery of the
financial statements under Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) hereunder and the
Covenant Compliance
Report under Section 7.2(a) hereof, in each case establishing applicability
of the appropriate adjustment and in each case with no retroactivity or
claw-back. In the event Borrowers shall fail timely to deliver such

108

 

	 	 	 	financial statements or the Covenant Compliance Report and such failure
continues for three (3) days, then (but without affecting the Event of
Default resulting therefrom) from the date delivery of such financial
statements and report was required until such financial statements and
report are delivered, the Applicable Margins and Applicable Fee Percentages
shall be at the highest level on the Pricing Matrix attached to this
Agreement as Schedule 1.1.

	 	(b)	 	From the Effective Date until the required date of delivery
(or, if earlier, delivery) of the financial statements under Section 7.1(a) or
7.1(b) hereof, as applicable, and the Covenant Compliance Report under Section
7.2(a) hereof, for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008, the Applicable
Margins and Applicable Fee Percentages shall be those set forth under the Level
IV column of the pricing matrix attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.1.
Thereafter, Applicable Margins and Applicable Fee Percentages shall be based
upon the quarterly financial statements and Covenant Compliance Reports,
subject to recalculation as provided in Section 11.9(a) above.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if, prior to the
Payment in Full of the Indebtedness, as a result of any restatement of or
adjustment to the financial statements of, prior to the Reorganization, Company
and any of its Subsidiaries, and after the Reorganization, Holdings and any of
its Subsidiaries (relating to the current or any prior fiscal period), or for
any other reason, Agent determines that the Applicable Margin and/or the
Applicable Fee Percentages as calculated by Borrowers as of any applicable date
of determination were inaccurate in any respect and a proper calculation
thereof would have resulted in different pricing for any fiscal period, then
(x) if the proper calculation thereof would have resulted in higher pricing for
any such period, Borrowers shall automatically and retroactively be obligated
to pay to Agent, promptly upon demand by Agent or the Majority Lenders, an
amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have
been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid
for such period and, if the current fiscal period is affected thereby, the
Applicable Margin and/or the Applicable Fee Percentages for the current period
shall be adjusted based on such recalculation; and (y) if the proper
calculation thereof would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, Agent
and Lenders shall have no obligation to recalculate such interest or fees or to
repay any interest or fees to Borrowers.

     11.10 Availability of Alternate Currency. The Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue
any Letter of Credit in an Alternate Currency if, at any time prior to issuing such Letter of
Credit, the Issuing Lender (after
consultation with Agent) shall determine, in its sole discretion, that (i) deposits in the
applicable Alternate Currency in the amounts and maturities required to fund any draws under such
Letter of Credit will not be available to the Agent and the Lenders; (ii) a fundamental change has
occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to the applicable Alternate
Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or

109

 

international financial, political
or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls); or (iii) it has become
otherwise materially impractical for the Issuing Lender, as applicable, to issue Letters of Credit
and/or to fund draws under such Letters of Credit in the applicable Alternate Currency. The Agent
or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative of any
such determination.

12. AGENT.

     12.1 Appointment of Agent. Each Lender and the holder of each Note (if issued) irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Lender or holder under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are
specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may
be reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation the power to execute or authorize
the execution of financing or similar statements or notices, and other documents. In performing its
functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and
does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of
agency or trust with or for any Credit Party.

     12.2 Deposit Account with Agent or any Lender. Borrowers authorize Agent and each Lender,
in Agent’s or such Lender’s sole discretion, upon notice to Borrowers to charge its general deposit
account(s), if any, maintained with the Agent or such Lender for the amount of any principal,
interest, or Fees due under this Agreement or the Fee Letter when the same become due and payable
under the terms of this Agreement, the Fee Letter or the Notes.

     12.3 Scope of Agent’s Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth herein, and shall not, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a
fiduciary relationship with any Lender (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Agent). None of Agent, its Affiliates nor any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or
in connection herewith or therewith with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or
all of the Lenders for those acts requiring consent of all of the Lenders) (except for its or their
own willful misconduct or gross negligence), nor be responsible for or have any duties to
ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or warranties made by the Credit Parties or any
Affiliate of the Credit Parties, or any officer thereof contained herein or therein, (b) the
effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any document executed
pursuant
hereto or any security thereunder, (c) the performance by the Credit Parties of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (d) the satisfaction of any condition hereunder
or thereunder, including without limitation in connection with the making of any Advance or the
issuance of any Letter of Credit. Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon any
certificate, notice, document or other communication (including any cable, telegraph, telex,
facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been sent or given by or on behalf of a proper person. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the
holder thereof. Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel, independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to the Lenders (except as to
money or property received by them or their authorized agents), for the negligence or misconduct of
any such agent selected by it with reasonable care or for any action

110

 

taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

     12.4 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least thirty (30) days
prior notice to Borrowers and each of the Lenders. If Agent at any time shall resign or if the
office of Agent shall become vacant for any other reason, Majority Lenders shall, by written
instrument, appoint successor agent(s) (“Successor Agent”) satisfactory to such Majority Lenders
and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Borrowers (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however that any such successor
Agent shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office
in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any
state thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which
is engaged in the banking business, and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000. Such Successor Agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and
Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any successor agent such documents of transfer and
assignment as such Successor Agent may reasonably request. If a Successor Agent is not so appointed
or does not accept such appointment before the resigning Agent’s resignation becomes effective, the
resigning Agent may appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by the Majority
Lenders and, if applicable, Borrowers, is made and accepted, or if no such temporary successor is
appointed as provided above by the resigning Agent, the Majority Lenders shall thereafter perform
all of the duties of the resigning Agent hereunder until such appointment by the Majority Lenders
and, if applicable, Borrowers, is made and accepted. Such Successor Agent shall succeed to all of
the rights and obligations of the resigning Agent as if originally named. The resigning Agent shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the
resigning Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is entitled to be
reimbursed hereunder. Upon such succession of any such Successor Agent, the resigning Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations, in its capacity as Agent hereunder, except for its
gross negligence or willful misconduct arising prior to its resignation hereunder, and the
provisions of this Article 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning Agent in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

     12.5 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of Agent and each other Lender and
based on the financial statements of Holdings and such other documents, information and
investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit
hereunder from time to time. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of Agent and
each other Lender and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall
deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not
exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement, any
Loan Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto.

     12.6 Authority of Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Lender, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, grants the Agent full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to
institute and maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection and enforcement of any
Indebtedness outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to file such proofs of
debt or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of the Lenders allowed

111

 

in any
proceeding relative to any Credit Party, or their respective creditors or affecting their
respective properties, and to take such other actions which Agent considers to be necessary or
desirable for the protection, collection and enforcement of the Notes, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents.

     12.7 Indemnification of Agent. The Lenders agree (which agreement shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement) to indemnify the Agent and its Affiliates (to the
extent not reimbursed by Borrowers, but without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to make such
reimbursement), ratably according to their respective Weighted Percentages, from and against any
and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of house and outside counsel) which
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent and its Affiliates in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent and its Affiliates under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from the Agent’s
or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of house and outside counsel) incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent
that the Agent and its Affiliates are not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrowers, but without
limiting the obligation of Borrowers to make such reimbursement. Each Lender agrees to reimburse
the Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amounts owing to the
Agent and its Affiliates by the Lenders pursuant to this Section, provided that, if the Agent or
its Affiliates are subsequently reimbursed by Borrowers for such amounts, they shall refund to the
Lenders on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to
the Agent and its Affiliates under this Section shall
become impaired as determined in the Agent’s reasonable judgment or Agent shall elect in its
sole discretion to have such indemnity confirmed by the Lenders (as to specific matters or
otherwise), Agent shall give notice thereof to each Lender and, until such additional indemnity is
provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, the Agent may cease, or not commence, to take any
action. Any amounts paid by the Lenders hereunder to the Agent or its Affiliates shall be deemed to
constitute part of the Indebtedness hereunder.

     12.8 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall be
entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the
officers of the Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have
received a written notice from a Lender or a Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default
and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Upon receiving such a notice, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of such Default or Event of Default and provide each Lender with
a copy of such notice and shall endeavor to provide such notice to the Lenders within three (3)
Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). The
Agent shall also furnish the Lenders, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or
other information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder.

112

 

     12.9 Agent’s Authorization; Action by Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, whenever the Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of the Lenders to give
any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action on behalf of the
Lenders (including without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents), the Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make
such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Majority Lenders
or the Lenders, as applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by the Majority Lenders, any
other specified Percentage of the Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided
for hereunder) may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote of the requisite percentages of the Lenders as
required hereunder at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call), provided that
Agent exercises good faith, diligent efforts to give all of the Lenders reasonable advance notice
of the meeting, or (ii) pursuant to the written consent of the requisite percentages of the Lenders
as required hereunder, provided that all of the Lenders are given reasonable advance notice of the
requests for such consent.

     12.10 Enforcement Actions by the Agent. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject to the terms hereof, Agent will take
such action, assert such rights and pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as the Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for
hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to act or omit to
act if, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, such action or omission may expose the Agent to
personal liability for which Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified hereunder or is contrary
to this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly provided above
or elsewhere
in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Lender (other than the Agent, acting in its
capacity as agent) shall be entitled to take any enforcement action of any kind under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

     12.11 Collateral Matters.

     (a) The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice
to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any
Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected
security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

     (b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, to the full
extent set forth in the post-amble to Section 13.10 hereof, (1) to release or terminate any Lien
granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon Payment in Full of all Indebtedness
payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (b) constituting property
(including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of
as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form
of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted
hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (c) constituting property in
which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter;
or (d) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders,
as the case may be, as provided in Section 13.10; (2) to subordinate

113

 

the Lien granted to or held by
Agent on any Collateral to any other holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by
Section 8.2(b) hereof; and (3) if all of the Equity Interests held by the Credit Parties in any
Person are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than Holdings or a Subsidiary of
Holdings as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any
other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to release
such Person from all of its obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
under any Guaranty). Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the
Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section
12.11(b).

     12.12 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Comerica Bank and its Affiliates, successors
and assigns shall each have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may
exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though such Lender were not the Agent. Comerica
Bank and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits
from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or
other business with the Credit Parties as if such Lender were not acting as the Agent hereunder,
and may accept fees and other consideration therefor without having to account for the same to the
Lenders.

     12.13 Agent’s Fees. Until the Indebtedness has been Paid in Full, Borrowers shall pay to
the Agent, as applicable, any agency or other fee(s) set forth (or to be set forth from time to
time) in the
applicable Fee Letter on the terms set forth therein. The agency fees referred to in this
Section 12.13 shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

     12.14 Documentation Agent or other Titles. Any Lender identified on the facing page or
signature page of this Agreement or in any amendment hereto or as designated with consent of the
Agent in any assignment agreement as Lead Arranger, Documentation Agent, Syndications Agent or any
similar titles, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty
under this Agreement as a result of such title other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender as a result of such title. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has not relied, and will not rely, on the Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this
Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

     12.15 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

     (a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates,
participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”),
or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items
relating to or in connection with Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective
Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identify
verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv)
any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other
laws.

114

 

     (b) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of
the United States or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement
contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both
(i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in
the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to provision by a banking authority
regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the
certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and
certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the Patriot Act and the applicable
regulations: (x) within 10 days after the Effective Date, and (y) at such other times as are
required under the Patriot Act.

     12.16 Bulkley Capital. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that (a) Company has contracted by
separate written agreement with Bulkley Capital, L.P. (“Bulkley”) to assist Company, among other
things, in identifying and obtaining written commitments from prospective lenders in connection
with the facilities under this Agreement, (b) Bulkley is only acting at the request of and on
behalf of the
Company, and not Comerica Bank, and (c) Comerica Bank shall have no liability to Company, any
Lender or any other Person for any actions taken by Bulkley or any of its representatives in
respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or for any financial, evaluation or
other information or material delivered or statements made by Bulkley to Company, any Lender or any
other Person.

13. MISCELLANEOUS.

     13.1 Accounting Principles. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or
item of income or expense is required to be determined or any consolidation or other accounting
computation is required to be made for the purposes of this Agreement, it shall be done, unless
otherwise specified herein, in accordance with GAAP.

     13.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. Holdings, the Borrowers, the Agent and Lenders hereby
irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal Court or Texas
state court sitting in Dallas, Texas in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and Holdings, the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby
irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such United States Federal Court or Texas state court. Chapter 346 of the Texas
Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party
accounts) does not apply to this Agreement or the Notes. Holdings and each Borrower irrevocably
consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any
court in or of the State of Texas by the delivery of copies of such process to it at the applicable
addresses specified on the signature page hereto or by certified mail directed to such address or
such other address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other parties that complies as to
delivery with the terms of Section 13.6. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the
Lenders and the Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of
the Lenders or the Agent (or any of them) to bring any such action or proceeding against any Credit
Party or any of their property in the courts with subject matter jurisdiction of any other
jurisdiction. Each Borrower irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such
suit or proceeding in the above described courts.

115

 

     13.3 Law of Texas. This Agreement, the Notes and, the other Loan Documents shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Whenever
possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.

     13.4 Interest. Agent, Lenders, Borrowers and any other parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in
strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof
such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Loan
Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or
detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by
applicable law from time to time in effect. Neither Borrowers, any other party to the Loan
Documents nor any present or future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming
liable for payment of any Indebtedness shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall
ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount that may be lawfully
contracted for, charged, or received under applicable law from time to time in effect, and the
provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may
be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. Agent and Lenders expressly disavow any intention to
contract for, charge, or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the
maturity of any Indebtedness is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Indebtedness is
accelerated for any reason, (b) any Indebtedness is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to
constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (c) Agent or any Lender
or any other holder of any or all of the Indebtedness shall otherwise collect moneys which are
determined to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the
Indebtedness to an amount in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law then in
effect, then all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall,
without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related
Indebtedness or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to Borrowers or the other
payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable,
under any specific circumstance, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, Agent,
Lenders, Borrowers (and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under
applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather
than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term
of the instruments evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time
to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under
applicable law in order to lawfully contract for, charge, or receive the maximum amount of interest
permitted under applicable Law. In the event applicable Law provides for an interest ceiling under
Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the “Texas Finance Code”) as amended, for that day, the
ceiling shall be the “weekly ceiling” as defined in the Texas Finance Code, provided that if any
applicable Law permits greater interest, the Law permitting the greatest interest shall apply. As
used in this section the term “applicable law” means the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of
the United States of America, whichever laws allow the greater interest, as such laws now exist or
may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

116

 

     13.5 Closing Costs and Other Costs; Indemnification.

     (a) Borrowers shall pay or reimburse (a) Agent and its Affiliates for payment of, on demand,
all reasonable costs and expenses, including, by way of description and not limitation, reasonable
in-house and outside attorney fees and advances, appraisal and accounting fees, lien search fees,
and required travel costs, incurred by Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the commitment,
consummation and closing of the loans contemplated hereby, or in connection with
the administration or enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the
obtaining of legal advice regarding the rights and responsibilities of the parties hereto) or any
refinancing or restructuring of the loans or Advances provided under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or any amendment or modification thereof requested by Borrowers, and (b) Agent and
its Affiliates and each of the Lenders, as the case may be, for all stamp and other taxes and
duties payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or
recording of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in
paying or omitting to pay such taxes or duties. Furthermore, all reasonable costs and expenses,
including without limitation attorney fees, incurred by Agent and its Affiliates and, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, by the Lenders in revising,
preserving, protecting, exercising or enforcing any of its or any of the Lenders’ rights against
Borrowers or any other Credit Party, or otherwise incurred by Agent and its Affiliates and the
Lenders in connection with any Event of Default or the enforcement of the loans (whether incurred
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise), including by way of description and not
limitation, such charges in any court or bankruptcy proceedings or arising out of any claim or
action by any person against Agent, its Affiliates, or any Lender which would not have been
asserted were it not for Agent’s or such Affiliate’s or Lender’s relationship with Borrowers
hereunder or otherwise, shall also be paid by Borrowers. All of said amounts required to be paid by
Borrowers hereunder and not paid forthwith promptly following demand, as aforesaid, shall bear
interest, from the date incurred to the date payment is received by Agent, at the Prime-based Rate,
plus two percent (2%).

     (b) Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and each of the Lenders (and their respective
Affiliates) harmless from all loss, cost, damage, liability or expenses, including reasonable house
and outside attorneys’ fees and disbursements (but without duplication of such fees and
disbursements for the same services), incurred by Agent and each of the Lenders by reason of an
Event of Default, or enforcing the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, as applicable, or in the prosecution or defense of any action or
proceeding concerning any matter growing out of or connected with this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, excluding, however, any loss, cost, damage, liability or expenses to the extent arising
as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified
under this Section 13.5(b), provided that, Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse Agent and the
Lenders for only a single financial consultant selected by Agent in consultation with the Lenders.

     (c) Borrowers agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and each Lender (and their
respective Affiliates), and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors from and
against any and all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or
expenses of whatever kind or nature (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys

117

 

and
consultants fees, investigation and laboratory fees, environmental studies required by Agent or any
Lender in connection with the violation of Hazardous Material Laws), court costs and litigation
expenses, arising out of or related to (i) the presence, use, disposal, release or threatened
release of any Hazardous Materials on, from or affecting any premises owned or occupied by any
Credit Party in violation of or the non-compliance with applicable Hazardous Material Laws, (ii)
any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of
or related to such Hazardous Materials, (iii) any lawsuit or other
proceeding brought or threatened, settlement reached or governmental order or decree relating
to such Hazardous Materials, (iv) the cost of removal of Hazardous Materials from any portion of
any premises owned or occupied by any Credit Party, (v) taking necessary precautions to protect
against the release of Hazardous Materials on or affecting any premises owned or occupied by any
Credit Party and/or (vi) complying or coming into compliance with all Hazardous Material Laws
(including the cost of any remediation or monitoring required in connection therewith) or any other
Requirement of Law; provided, however, that Borrowers shall have no obligations under this Section
13.5(c) with respect to claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs
or expenses to the extent arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. The obligations of Borrowers under this Section 13.5(c)
shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities Borrowers may have to Agent
or any of the Lenders at common law or pursuant to any other agreement.Notices.

portion of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

119

 

	 	(i)	 	each such assignment shall be made on a pro
rata basis, and shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) Five
Million Dollars
($5,000,000) or such lesser amount as the Agent and Borrower shall
agree and (y) the entire remaining amount of assigning Lender’s
aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any
outstanding Letters of Credit) and the Term Loan; provided however
that, in the case of (x), after giving effect to such assignment, in
no event shall the entire remaining amount (if any) of assigning
Lender’s aggregate interest in the Revolving Credit (and
participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit) and the Term
Loan be less than $5,000,000; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the parties to any assignment shall execute and
deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement substantially (as determined
by Agent) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (with appropriate
insertions acceptable to Agent), together with a processing and
recordation fee in the amount, if any, required as set forth in the
Assignment Agreement (provided however that such Lender need not
deliver an Assignment Agreement in connection with assignments to such
Lender’s Affiliates or to a Federal Reserve Bank).

Until the Assignment Agreement becomes effective in accordance with its terms, and Agent has
confirmed that the assignment satisfies the requirements of this Section 13.8, Borrowers and the
Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in
connection with the interest so assigned. From and after the effective date of each Assignment
Agreement that satisfies the requirements of this Section 13.8, the assignee thereunder shall be
deemed to be a party to this Agreement, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to
receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment) and the
assigning Lender shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     Upon request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent, new Note(s) payable to the
order of the assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to the assigning Lender pursuant to
such Assignment Agreement, and with respect to the portion of the Indebtedness retained by the
assigning Lender, to the extent applicable, new Note(s) payable to the order of the assigning
Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by such Lender hereunder. The Agent, the Lenders
and Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any such new Note(s) shall be given in renewal and
replacement of the Notes issued to the assigning lender prior to such assignment and shall not
effect or constitute a novation or discharge of the Indebtedness evidenced by such prior Note, and
each such new Note may contain a provision confirming such agreement.

     (e) Holdings, Borrowers and the Agent acknowledge that each of the Lenders may at any time and
from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, grant participations in such
Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder (on a pro rata basis only) and under the other Loan
Documents to any Person (other than a natural person or to a Borrower or any of

120

 

Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries); provided that any participation permitted hereunder shall become
effective only upon registration of such participation on the Participant Register as
provided in Section 13.8(g), and any participation shall comply with all applicable laws and
shall be subject to a participation agreement that incorporates the following restrictions:

	 	(i)	 	such Lender shall remain the holder of its
Notes hereunder (if such Notes are issued), notwithstanding any such
participation;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a participant shall not reassign or transfer,
or grant any sub-participations in its participation interest hereunder
or any part thereof; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	such Lender shall retain the sole right and
responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Credit Parties
relating to the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause the
Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the
right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement without the consent of the participant (unless such
participant is an Affiliate of such Lender), except for those matters
covered by Section 13.10(a) through (e) hereof (provided that a
participant may exercise approval rights over such matters only on an
indirect basis, acting through such Lender and the Credit Parties,
Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and duties hereunder).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the case of any
participation granted by any Lender hereunder, the participant shall
not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents against the Agent, any other Lender or any Credit Party;
provided, however that the participant may have rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation as may be set forth in the
applicable participation agreement and all amounts payable by the
Credit Parties hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not
sold such participation. Each such participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 10.1(d) (subject to its compliance with Section
13) and Article 11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause
(d) of this Section, provided that such participant agrees to comply
with its obligations under Section 13.13 and no participant shall be
entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to the provisions of
Section 10.1(d) or Article 11 than the issuing Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation
transferred by such issuing Lender to such participant had no such
transfer occurred and each such participant shall also be entitled to
the benefits of Section 9.6 hereof as though it were a Lender, 

121

 

	 	 	 	provided
that such participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.3 hereof as
though it were a Lender.

     (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement (including its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     (g) (i) The Agent shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment Agreement
delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Lenders, the Percentages of such Lenders and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing
to each such Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence,
absent manifest error, and Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender upon
reasonable notice to the Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party
on their prior written request. The Agent shall give prompt written notice to Borrowers of the
making of any entry in the Register or any change in such entry. Upon its receipt of a properly
completed Assignment Agreement in accordance with Section 13.8(d), Agent shall (A) promptly accept
such Assignment Agreement and (B) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto, record the
information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such acceptance and
recordation to the Borrowers.

     (ii) In the case of any assignment to a Lender’s Affiliate or to a Federal Reserve Bank in
connection with which an Assignment Agreement is not delivered as permitted under Section 13.8, and
which assignment is not therefore reflected in the Register, the assigning Lender, acting solely
for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (without any other obligations, liabilities or
responsibilities), shall maintain a comparable register on behalf of Borrowers. The comparable
register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or the Agent at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (iii) In the case any Lender sells participations as described in Section 13.8(e), such
Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (without any other
obligations, liabilities or responsibilities), shall maintain a register on which it enters the
name of all Participants in the Indebtedness held by it (the “Participant Register”). The
Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or the Agent at any time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (h) Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant
which has satisfied the requirements hereunder, any and all financial information in such Lender’s
possession concerning the Credit Parties which has been delivered to such Lender pursuant to this
Agreement, provided that each such prospective assignee or participant shall execute a
confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 13.11 hereof or shall otherwise
agree to be bound by the terms thereof.

122

 

     (i) Nothing in this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is
intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and
their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder
any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, the
Notes or the other Loan Documents.

     13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each
executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but such counterparts shall together
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     13.10 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and the Majority
Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Majority Lenders) or, if this Agreement
expressly so requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Lenders (and, with respect
to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, by any Credit Party or the
Guarantors that are signatories thereto), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
Lender or Lenders affected thereby, do any of the following: (a) increase the stated amount of such
Lender’s commitment hereunder, (b) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any outstanding
Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (c) postpone any date fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts
payable hereunder, (d) except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Collateral Documents,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral (provided that neither Agent nor any Lender
shall be prohibited thereby from proposing or participating in a consensual or nonconsensual
debtor-in-possession or similar financing), or release any material guaranty provided by any Person
in favor of Agent and the Lenders, provided however that Agent shall be entitled, without notice to
or any further action or consent of the Lenders, to release any Collateral which any Credit Party
is permitted to sell, assign or otherwise transfer in compliance with this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or release any guaranty to the extent expressly permitted in this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents (whether in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of
the applicable Guarantor or otherwise), (e) terminate or modify any indemnity provided to the
Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except as shall be otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (f) change the definitions of “Revolving
Credit Percentage”, “Term Loan Percentage”, “Weighted Percentage”, “Interest Periods”, “Majority
Lenders”, “Majority Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Majority Term Loan Lenders”, Sections 10.2 or 10.3
hereof or this Section 13.10; provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
definitions of “Borrowing Base”, “Eligible Accounts”, “Eligible Inventory” may be changed, and the
Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be postponed or extended, only with the consent of all of the
Revolving Credit Lenders; the Term Loan Maturity Date may be postponed or extended only with the
consent of all the Term Loan Lenders; provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
any amendment or wavier of, or consent to any variation from, the mandatory prepayment provisions
in Section 4.8 of the Credit Agreement may be made with the consent of the Majority Term Loan
Lenders; provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in a writing
signed by the Swing Line
Lender, do any of the following: (x) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Swing

123

 

Line
Note or (y) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line
Note; provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in a
writing signed by Issuing Lender affect the rights or duties of Issuing Lender under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents and no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in a writing
signed by the Agent affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. All references in this Agreement to “Lenders” or “the Lenders” shall refer to all
Lenders, unless expressly stated to refer to Majority Lenders (or the like).

     The Agent shall, upon the written request of Borrowers, execute and deliver to the Credit
Parties such documents as may be necessary to evidence (1) the release of any Lien granted to or
held by the Agent upon any Collateral: (a) upon Payment in Full of all Indebtedness payable under
this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (b) which constitutes property (including,
without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or
in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction
and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (c) which constitutes property in which a Credit Party
owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, or all the Lenders, as the case may be,
as provided in this Section 13.10; or (2) the release of any Person from its obligations under the
Loan Documents (including without limitation the Guaranty) if all of the Equity Interests of such
Person that were held by a Credit Party are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other
than Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether
by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such release
or subordination agreement under clauses (1) or (2) above on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion,
would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than
the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty or such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect or impair the Indebtedness or any Liens upon any Collateral retained by any
Credit Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale or other disposition, all of
which shall constitute and remain part of the Collateral.

     13.11 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior
consent of Borrowers (other than to its employees, its Subsidiaries, another Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or to its auditors or counsel who agree to hold such information in accordance with
this Section 13.11) any information with respect to the Credit Parties which is furnished pursuant
to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided that any Lender may disclose any
such information (a) as has become generally available to the public or has been lawfully obtained
by such Lender from any third party under no duty of confidentiality to any Credit Party, (b) as
may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect to
any inquiry, by, any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have
jurisdiction over such Lender, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of
the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their
successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or
in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order,

124

 

regulation,
ruling or other requirement of law applicable to such Lender, and (e) to any prospective assignee
or participant in accordance with Section 13.8 hereof.

     13.12 Substitution of Lenders. If (a) any Lender has failed to fund its Revolving Credit
Percentage of any Revolving Credit Advance, or to fund a Revolving Credit Advance to repay a Swing
Line Advance or any Reimbursement Obligations, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make
Eurodollar-based Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4, (c) any Lender has
demanded compensation under Section 3.4(c), 11.5 or 11.6, (d) any Lender has not approved an
amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement, if such amendment or waiver has been
approved by the Majority Lenders and the consent of such Lender is required (in each case, an
“Affected Lender”), or (e) a Borrower is required to make additional payments to or on account of
Lender (or permitted assignee) under Section 10.1(d) solely as a result of a change in any law,
rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation or application thereof by any
Governmental Authority that occurred after the date on which such Lender (or permitted assignee)
first became a party to this Agreement (and the assignment below shall result in a reduction in the
amount of the payments otherwise required to be made by the applicable Borrowers thereunder), then
the Agent or Borrowers shall have the right to make written demand on the Affected Lender (with a
copy to Borrowers in the case of a demand by the Agent or with a copy to the Agent in the case of a
demand by Borrowers) to assign and the Affected Lender shall assign, to one or more financial
institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 13.8 hereof (the “Purchasing Lender” or
“Purchasing Lenders”) to purchase the Advances of the Revolving Credit, Swing Line and/or the Term
Loan, as the case may be, of such Affected Lender (including, without limitation, its participating
interests in outstanding Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) and assume the commitment of
the Affected Lender to extend credit under the Revolving Credit (including without limitation its
obligation to purchase participations interest in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) under
this Agreement. The Affected Lender shall be obligated to sell its Advances of the Revolving
Credit, Swing Line and/or the Term Loan, as the case may be, and assign its commitment to extend
credit under the Revolving Credit (including without limitation its obligations to purchase
participations in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) to such Purchasing Lender or
Purchasing Lenders within ten (10) days after receiving notice from Borrowers requiring it to do
so, at an aggregate price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus unpaid interest
accrued thereon up to but excluding the date of the sale. In connection with any such sale, and as
a condition thereof, Borrowers shall pay to the Affected Lender all fees accrued for its account
hereunder to but excluding the date of such sale, plus, if demanded by the Affected Lender within
ten (10) Business Days after such sale, (i) the amount of any compensation which would be due to
the Affected Lender under Section 11.1 if Borrowers had prepaid the outstanding Eurodollar-based
Advances of the Affected Lender on the date of such sale and (ii) any additional compensation
accrued for its account under Sections 3.4(c), 11.5 and 11.6 to but excluding said date. Upon such
sale, the Purchasing Lender or Purchasing Lenders shall assume the Affected Lender’s commitment,
and the Affected Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent.
If any Purchasing Lender is not already one of the Lenders, the Affected Lender, as assignor, such
Purchasing Lender, as assignee, Borrowers and the Agent, shall enter into an Assignment Agreement
pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof, whereupon such Purchasing
Lender shall be a Lender party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an assignee hereunder
and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Revolving Credit Percentage equal
to its ratable share of the then applicable Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and the

125

 

applicable Percentages of the Term Loan of the Affected Lender. In connection with any assignment
pursuant to this Section 13.12, Borrowers or the Purchasing Lender shall pay to the Agent the
administrative fee for processing such assignment referred to in Section 13.8.

     13.13 Withholding Taxes.

     (a) Non-U.S. Lenders. If any Lender (or assignee or participant permitted under
Section 13.8) is not a “united states person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Internal Revenue Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), such Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly (but in any event
prior to the initial payment of interest hereunder or prior to its accepting any assignment under
Section 13.8 hereof, as applicable) deliver to the Agent two properly completed and duly executed
copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form claiming entitlement to
complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax on payments of interest to such Non-U.S. Lender, and
specifying the applicable tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction which provides
such complete exemption from withholding; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any
successor form evidencing that the income to be received by such Non-U.S. Lender hereunder is not
subject to U.S. withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States; or (iii) such other evidence satisfactory to the Agent that payments
to such Non-U.S. Lender are exempt from United States income tax withholding. Alternatively, if
such Non-U.S. Lender is claiming an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under Internal Revenue Code
section 871(h) or 881(c), such Non-U.S. Lender (1) hereby represents and warrants that such
Non-U.S. Lender is (A) not a “bank” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 881(c), (B)
not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 871(h)(3)(B) and
(C) not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person within the
meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 864(d)(4); and (2) will, prior to the initial payment of
interest hereunder or prior to its accepting any assignment under Section 13.8 hereof, as
applicable, deliver to the Agent and the Borrower Representative two properly completed and duly
executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor form certifying that such
Non-U.S. Lender is not a U.S. person and income received in connection herewith is not effectively
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver to Agent the
aforesaid forms or other evidence with respect to Advances to Borrowers, if such Non-U.S. Lender
has assigned its entire interest hereunder (including its Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, any
outstanding Advances hereunder and participations in Letters of Credit issued hereunder and any
Notes issued to it by Borrowers), to an Affiliate which is incorporated under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof, and so notifies the Agent and such Affiliate complies with its
obligations, as an assignee that is not a Non-U.S. person, under Section 13.13(b). Each Non-U.S.
Lender shall promptly amend or supplement any such forms or evidence as required to insure that
such forms or evidence are accurate, complete and non-misleading at all times, and upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly
deliver such new forms or evidence permitted under this Section 13.13(a) which establish that
payments to such Non-U.S. Lender continue to be
completely exempt from U.S. withholding tax. Promptly upon notice from the Agent of any
determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any payments previously made to any Non-U.S.
Lender hereunder were subject to United States income tax withholding when made, such

126

 

Non-U.S.
Lender shall pay to the Agent the excess of the aggregate amount required to be withheld from such
payments over the aggregate amount actually withheld by the Agent, and Agent shall, at its option,
remit such amount to the Internal Revenue Service in payment of such obligation or deliver such
amount to Borrower for payment of same. In addition, from time to time upon the reasonable request
of Borrowers, each Non-U.S. Lender and the Agent shall (to the extent it is able to do so based
upon applicable facts and circumstances), complete and provide Borrowers with such other forms,
certificates or other documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow Borrowers, as applicable,
to make any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without any withholding for or
on the account of any tax under Section 10.1(d) hereof.

     (b) U.S. Lenders. Any Lender (or assignee or participant permitted under Section
13.8) that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment
of interest hereunder or prior to its accepting any assignment under Section 13.8 hereof, as
applicable) deliver to the Agent and the Borrower Representative (i) two properly completed and
duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto, certifying that such Lender (or assignee or participant permitted under Section
13.8) is entitled to receive any and all payments in connection herewith free and clear from U.S.
withholding taxes and (ii) such other reasonable documentation as will enable Borrowers to
determine that such Lender (or assignee or participant permitted under Section 13.8) is not subject
to backup withholding and whether or not payments to such Lender (or assignee or participant
permitted under Section 13.8) are subject to any information reporting requirements.

     13.14 Taxes and Fees. Except as provided in Section 10.1(d), should any Tax or Other Taxes
become payable by a Lender or Agent (including without limitation the Swing Line Lender and the
Issuing Lender), Borrowers shall hold the Agent and such Lenders harmless with respect thereto,
together with any interest or penalties thereon arising from a Borrower’s actions or omissions,
provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be responsible for any such interest or penalties which
were incurred prior to the date that notice is given to the Credit Parties of such tax or fees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.14 shall affect or reduce the
rights of any Lender or the Agent under Section 11.5 hereof.

     13.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, HOLDINGS AND BORROWERS KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE LENDERS, THE AGENT NOR
HOLDINGS NOR
BORROWERS SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A
JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN
WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED
BY THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT OR BORROWERS EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF THEM.

127

 

     13.16 Patriot Act Notice. Pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, the Agent and
the Lenders hereby notify the Credit Parties that if they or any of their Subsidiaries open an
account, including any loan, deposit account, treasury management account, or other extension of
credit with Agent or any Lender, the Agent or the applicable Lender will request the applicable
Person’s name, tax identification number, business address and other information necessary to
identify such Person (and may request such Person’s organizational documents or other identifying
documents) to the extent necessary for the Agent and the applicable Lender to comply with the USA
Patriot Act.

     13.17 Complete Agreement; Conflicts. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER “LOAN AGREEMENTS” (AS
DEFINED IN SECTION 26.02(A)(2) OF THE TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE, AS AMENDED) REPRESENT THE
FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENTS MAY
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall govern.

     13.18 Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of the Credit Parties under
this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
obligations of the Credit Parties shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity,
legality or enforceability of the obligations of the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the Notes
or any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction.

     13.19 Table of Contents and Headings; Section References. The table of contents and the
headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall in no
way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof and references herein to “sections,”
“subsections,” “clauses,” “paragraphs,” “subparagraphs,” “exhibits” and “schedules” shall be to
sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, subparagraphs, exhibits and schedules, respectively, of
this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided herein or unless the context otherwise
clearly indicates.

     13.20 Construction of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents refers to any action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited
from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly
by such Person, whether or not expressly specified in such provision.

     13.21 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given independent effect
(subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that if a particular action or condition is
not permitted by any such covenant (taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that
it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of, another
covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

128

 

     13.22 Electronic Transmissions.

	 	(a)	 	Each of the Agent, the Credit Parties, the Lenders, and each of
their Affiliates is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or
otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions
in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein.
Borrowers and each other Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are
risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and
abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby
authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.
	 
	 	(b)	 	All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in
addition to Section 13.6 and this Section 13.22, separate terms and conditions
posted or referenced in such E-System and related contractual obligations
executed by the Agent, the Credit Parties and the Lenders in connection with
the use of such E-System.
	 
	 	(c)	 	All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided
“as is” and “as available”. None of the Agent or any of its Affiliates
warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic
Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein.
No warranty of any kind is made by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in
connection with any E Systems or Electronic Transmission, including any
warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement
of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects. The
Agent, the Credit Parties and the Lenders agree that the Agent has no
responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services
or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or
otherwise required for any E-System.

     13.23 Advertisements. The Agent and the Lenders may disclose the names of the Credit
Parties and the existence of the Indebtedness in general advertisements and trade publications or
otherwise, but only with the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     13.24 Reliance on and Survival of Provisions. All terms, covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties of the Credit Parties to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in
any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other document
furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any Lender or on such Lender’s behalf, and those
covenants and agreements of Holdings and Borrowers set forth in Section 13.5 hereof (together with
any other indemnities of any Credit Party contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the
other Loan Documents) and of Lenders set forth in Section 12.7 hereof shall survive the Payment in
Full of the Indebtedness.

129

 

     13.25 Joint and Several Liability.

	 	(a)	 	Each of Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent
of the parties that each such Borrower be primarily liable for the obligations
as a joint and several obligor. It is the intention of the parties that with
respect to liability of any Borrower hereunder arising solely by reason of its
being jointly and severally liable for Advances and other extensions of credit
taken by Borrowers, the obligations of such Borrower shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

	 	(i)	 	any lack of validity, legality or
enforceability of this Agreement or any Note as to any Borrower, as the
case may be;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the failure of any Lender or any holder of any
Note:
	 
	 	 	 	(a) to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower, as the case
may be, or any other Person (including any Guarantor or Holdings)
under the provisions of this Agreement, such Note, or otherwise, or
	 
	 	 	 	(b) to exercise any right or remedy against any guarantor of, or
collateral securing, any obligations;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Indebtedness, or
any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Indebtedness;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any reduction, limitation, impairment or
termination of any Indebtedness with respect to any Borrower, as the
case may be, for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release,
surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and
each of Borrowers hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense
(other than the defense of payment in full of the Indebtedness) or
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of
the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise,
unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any
Indebtedness with respect to any Borrower, as the case may be;
	 
	 	(v)	 	any addition, exchange, release, surrender or
nonperfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or
release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any guaranty,
held by any Lender or any holder of the Notes securing any of the
Indebtedness; or
	 
	 	(vi)	 	any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense (other than the defense of payment in full of the
Indebtedness) available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any
Borrower, as the case may be, any surety or any guarantor.

130

 

	 	(b)	 	Each of Borrowers agrees that its joint and several liability
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Indebtedness is
rescinded or must be restored by any Lender or any holder of any Note, upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, as the case may be,
as though such payment had not been made;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each of Borrowers hereby expressly waives: (i) notice of the
Lenders’ acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the existence or creation
or non payment of all or any of the Indebtedness other than notices expressly
provided for in this Agreement; (iii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor,
protest, and all other notices whatsoever other than notices expressly provided
for in this Agreement; (iv) any claim or defense based on an election of
remedies; and (v) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization
upon the Indebtedness or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any
security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No delay on any of the Lenders part in the exercise of any
right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial
exercise by any of the Lenders of any right or remedy shall preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No
action of any of the Lenders permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or
impair any such Lenders’ rights or any Borrower’s Indebtedness under this
Agreement.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Each of Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to each of the
Lenders that it now has and will continue to have independent means of
obtaining information concerning Borrowers’ affairs, financial condition and
business. Lenders shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Borrower with any credit or other information concerning such Borrower’s
affairs, financial condition or business which may come into the Lenders’
possession.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Each of Borrowers represents and warrants (i) that the business
operations of Borrowers are interrelated and that the business operations of
Borrowers complement one another, and such entities have a common business
purpose, and (ii) that, to permit their uninterrupted and continuous
operations, such entities now require and will from time to time hereafter
require funds and credit accommodations for general business purposes and that
(iii) the proceeds of advances under the Revolving Credit, the Swing Line, the
Term Loan and the other credit facilities extended hereunder will directly or
indirectly benefit Borrowers hereunder, severally and jointly, regardless of
which Borrower receives part or all of the proceeds of such Advances.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it
is the intention of Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders that the amount of the

131

 

	 	 	 	respective Borrowers’ obligations hereunder shall be in, but not in excess of,
the maximum amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of
applicable law governing bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of
debts, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency, fraudulent transfers or
conveyances or other similar laws (collectively, “Applicable Insolvency Laws”).
To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that Borrowers’ respective
obligations hereunder or any payment made pursuant thereto would, but for the
operation of the foregoing proviso, be subject to avoidance or recovery under
Applicable Insolvency Laws, the amount of Borrowers’ respective obligations
hereunder shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect
thereto, would not, under Applicable Insolvency Laws, render such Borrower’s
respective obligations hereunder unenforceable or avoidable or subject to
recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws. To the extent any payment actually
made hereunder exceeds the limitation contained in this Section 13.25(g), then
the amount of such excess shall, from and after the time of payment by
Borrowers (or any of them), be reimbursed by the Lenders upon demand by such
Borrowers. The foregoing proviso is intended solely to preserve the rights of
the Agent and the Lenders hereunder against Borrowers to the maximum extent
permitted by Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither any Borrower nor any
Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section
13.25(g) that would not otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency
Laws.

     13.26 Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert any amount owing or payable to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement
from the Alternate Currency in which it is due into a particular currency (the “Judgment
Currency”), the rate of exchange applied in that conversion shall be that at which the Agent, in
accordance with its normal procedures, could purchase the Alternate Currency with the Judgment
Currency at or about noon on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which judgment is
given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any amount owing or payable under this
Agreement to the Agent or any Lender in the Alternate Currency shall, notwithstanding any judgment
and payment in the Judgment Currency, be satisfied only to the extent that the Agent, in accordance
with its normal procedures, could purchase the Alternate Currency with the amount of the Judgment
Currency so paid at or about noon on the next Business Day following that payment; and if the
amount of the Alternate Currency which the Agent could so purchase is less than the amount
originally due in the Alternate Currency, the Borrowers shall, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding the judgment or payment, indemnify the agent or the applicable Lender against any
loss.

14. GUARANTY OF HOLDINGS.

     14.1 Guaranty. Holdings hereby guarantees to the Lenders the due and punctual payment to
the Lenders when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the Indebtedness hereunder
and Holdings hereby agrees that if Borrowers shall fail to pay any of the Indebtedness when and as
the same shall be due and payable, or shall fail to perform and

132

 

discharge any covenant,
representation or warranty in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Notes, the Letter of
Credit Agreements or any of the other Loan Documents (subject, in each case, to any applicable
periods of grace or cure), Holdings will forthwith pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, an
amount equal to any such amount or cause Borrowers to do so, and will pay any and all damages that
may be incurred or suffered in consequence thereof by the Agent or any of the Lenders and all
reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Agent or the
Lenders in enforcing such covenant, representation or warranty of Borrowers, and in enforcing the
covenants and agreements of this Guaranty.

     14.2 Unconditional Character of the Guaranty. The obligations of Holdings under this
Article shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be a guaranty of payment and not of
collection, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the
Notes, the Letter of Credit Agreements, the Letters of Credit, or any of the other Loan Documents,
or any provision thereof, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with
respect to or any amendment of any provision thereof (provided that any amendment of this Article
shall be in accordance with the terms hereof), the recovery of any judgment against any Person or
action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of the obligations of Borrowers
under this Agreement, the Notes, the Letter of Credit Agreements, or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation, defense (other than the defense of
payment in full of the
Indebtedness) or termination whether with or without notice to Holdings. It is the intention
of the parties that the obligations of the Holdings under this Section 5 shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

	 	(a)	 	any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of this
Agreement or any Note, as the case may be;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the failure of any Lender or any holder of any Note:

	 	(i)	 	to enforce any right or remedy against any
Borrower or any other Person (including any Guarantor) under the
provisions of this Agreement, such Note, or otherwise, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to exercise any right or remedy against any
Guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Indebtedness;

	 	(c)	 	any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Indebtedness, or any other extension,
compromise or renewal of any Indebtedness;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any
Indebtedness with respect to any Borrower, for any reason, including any claim
of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to (and Holdings hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense
(other than the defense of payment in full of the Indebtedness) or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, 

133

 

	 	 	 	unenforceability of, or
any other event or occurrence affecting, any Indebtedness of any Borrower;

	 	(e)	 	any addition, exchange, release, surrender or nonperfection of
any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or
consent to departure from, any guaranty, held by any Lender or any holder of
the Notes securing any of the Indebtedness; or
	 
	 	(f)	 	any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense (other than the defense of payment in full of the Indebtedness)
available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Borrower, any surety or
any Guarantor.

     14.3 Reinstatement. Holdings agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of
any of the Indebtedness is rescinded or must be restored by any Lender or any holder of any Note,
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower as though such payment had not
been made.

     14.4 Waiver of Defenses. Holdings hereby expressly waives: (i) notice of the Lenders’
acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the existence or creation or non payment of all or any
of the Indebtedness; (iii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices
whatsoever; and (iv) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the
Indebtedness or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any
of the foregoing. No delay on the part of any of the Lenders in the exercise of any right or remedy
shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any of the Lenders of any
right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
or remedy. No action of any of the Lenders permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair
any such Lenders’ rights or Holdings’ obligations under this Agreement. Until all of the
Indebtedness has been Paid in Full, Holdings irrevocably and absolutely subordinates any and all
rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, recourse, reimbursement and any similar
rights against Borrowers, whether these rights arise under an express or implied contract or by
operation of law. It is the intention of the parties that, until all of the Indebtedness has been
Paid in Full, Holdings shall not be (or be deemed to be) a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as the same may be amended) of Borrowers (or any other Guarantor or
any other Person) by reason of the existence of this Agreement in the event that a Borrower becomes
a debtor in any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. This waiver is given to induce
Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend the credit facilities to Borrowers. Holdings
waives any defense based upon or arising by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any
Borrower or any other person; (b) the cessation or limitation from any cause, other than final and
irrevocable payment in full, of the Indebtedness; (c) any lack of authority of any officer,
director, partner, agent or any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of a Borrower or
any defect in the formation of a Borrower; (d) the application by any Person of the proceeds of any
Indebtedness for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrowers to Agent or Lenders or
intended or understood by Agent, Lenders or Holdings; (e) any act or omission by Agent or any
Lender which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of a Borrower or any
Indebtedness by operation of law or otherwise; or (f) any modification of the

134

 

Indebtedness, in any
form, including without limit the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for
payment of the Indebtedness, or other change in the terms of Indebtedness or any part of it,
including without limit an increase or decrease of the rate of interest. Holdings waives any
defense it may have based upon any election of remedies by Agent or any Lender which destroys its
subrogation rights or its right to proceed against a Borrower for reimbursement, including without
limit any loss of rights Holdings may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of a
Borrower in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or
discharging the Indebtedness. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
Holdings under this Article 5, and the rights of Agent and Lenders to enforce the same, by
proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way
affected to the extent permitted by applicable law, by (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation,
reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or
affecting a Borrower, any or all of the Guarantors, Holdings or any other Person including any
discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Indebtedness in or as a result
of any such proceeding; (ii) any change in the ownership of any of the capital stock (or other
ownership interests) of a Borrower, Holdings, or any other party providing collateral or guarantees
for any Indebtedness of Borrowers, or any of its
Affiliates; (iii) the election by Agent and Lenders, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any
person, to apply or not apply Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) any extension of
credit or the grant of any security interest or lien under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (v)
any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy
proceeding of any person; (vi) the avoidance of any security interest or Lien in favor of Agent or
any Lender for any reason; (vii) any action taken by Agent or any Lender that is authorized by this
paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; or (viii) any other
principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the
terms hereof. Holdings hereby waives to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, any
defense based upon the doctrine of marshaling of assets or upon an election of remedies by Agent
and the Lenders, including, without limitation, an election to proceeds by non-judicial rather than
judicial foreclosure, and any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than
that of the principal.

     14.5 Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Holdings hereby represents and warrants to
each of the Lenders that it now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining
information concerning Borrowers’ affairs, financial condition and business. Lenders shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide Holdings with any credit or other information concerning
Borrowers’ affairs, financial condition or business which may come into the Lenders’ possession.
Holdings represents and warrants (i) that the business operations of Borrowers and Holdings are
interrelated and complement one another, and such entities have a common business purpose, (ii)
that, to permit the uninterrupted and continuous operations of Borrowers, such entities now require
and will from time to time hereafter require funds and credit accommodations for general business
purposes and (iii) that the proceeds of advances under the Revolving Credit, the Term Loan and
other credit facilities extended hereunder will directly or indirectly benefit Holdings regardless
of whether Holdings receives part or all of the proceeds of such Advances.

Litigation

On June 19, 2007, Martin-Manatee Power Partners, LLC (“MMPP”) filed a complaint against
Peerless Mfg. Co. in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County,
Florida. In the complaint, MMPP asserted a claims for breach of contract and express warranty,
breach of implied warranty and indemnification against the Peerless Mfg. Co., arising out of an
incident in September 2005 when an electric fuel gas start-up heater, which was a component of a
fuel gas heater skid supplied by the Peerless Mfg. Co. to MMPP, allegedly ruptured resulting in a
fire. In the complaint, MMPP did not make a specific demand for damages, but alleged that it had
incurred approximately $5.7 million in costs to repair the damage as a result of the incident.
Peerless Mfg. Co.’s insurance company is defending this claim and it is covered by insurance with a
deductible of $100,000.

Schedule 6.14

Environmental and Safety Matters

	1.	 	1115 Duncan St., Denton, Texas 76205 (the “Denton Site”). The following issues
were discovered during a December 2007 site visit in connection with Phase I Environmental
Site Assessment (report dated February 2008) that was conducted by Brown and Caldwell in
the context of this transaction:

	 	a.	 	During the site visit, Brown and Caldwell noted that the secondary
containment in the drum storage area was breached and inoperative. In addition,
not all drums were located within the drum storage area. Although no evidence of
prior or current releases was observed, it is possible that such releases have
occurred. Peerless is in the process of repairing the secondary containment, and
relocating the drums within the secondary containment area.

	 	b.	 	The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan was determined to be
inadequate, and storm water samples were not being collected and analyzed on a
monthly basis as required. In addition, at the time of Brown and Caldwell’s
report, it was possible for non-storm water from the Denton Site to enter the
municipal storm water system. Peerless is in the process of addressing these
issues.

	 	c.	 	A 1,000 gallon gasoline underground storage tank (“UST”) was removed
from the Denton Site in 2001. No releases were documented from the UST. The Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) noted some technical deficiencies in
the Denton Site’s closure report and has requested additional information. The
Denton Site is in the process of addressing the TCEQ’s issues so that closure of
the tank can be completed.

	2.	 	2675/2701 East Highway 80, Abilene, Texas 79601 (the Abilene Site). An
asbestos survey was conducted at the Abilene Site in February 2008. Nine out of
twenty-seven samples collected tested positive for asbestos. The popcorn ceiling texture,
sheetrock and joint compound, all located in the former main office, were categorized as
friable. The remaining materials that tested positive were non-friable. Peerless will
implement an Operations and Maintenance Plan to address these issues.

material to the business of a Debtor constituting Intellectual Property Collateral is not subject
to any defense, offset, counterclaim or claim.

Priority. No financing statement, security agreement or other Lien instrument covering all or
any part of the Collateral is on file in any public office with respect to any outstanding
obligation of such Debtor except (i) as may have been filed in favor of the Agent pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) financing statements filed to perfect Permitted

jurisdictions listed on Schedule 3.7 attached hereto, and (b) the recording of this Agreement in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the security
interest in favor of the Agent created herein will constitute a valid and perfected Lien upon and
security interest in the Collateral which may be created and perfected either under the UCC by

Copyrights. Each Debtor agrees to take all necessary steps, including, without limitation,
in the United States Copyright Office or in any court, to (x) defend, enforce, and preserve the
validity and ownership of each Copyright and each Copyright License identified on Schedule 1.1
hereto,
and (y) pursue each Copyright and mask work application, now or hereafter identified on Schedule
1.1 hereto, including, without limitation, the payment of applicable fees, and the participation in
infringement and misappropriation proceedings, except in each case in which the Debtors have
determined, using their commercially reasonable judgment, that any of the foregoing is not of
material economic value to them. Each Debtor agrees to take corresponding steps with respect to
each new or acquired Copyright, Copyright and mask work application, or any rights obtained under
any Copyright License, in each case, which it is now or later becomes entitled, except in each case
in which the Debtors have determined, using their commercially reasonable judgment, that any of the
foregoing is not of material economic value to them. Any expenses incurred in connection with such
activities shall be borne by the Debtors.

No Abandonment. The Debtors shall not abandon any Trademark, Patent, Copyright or any
pending Trademark, Copyright, mask work or Patent application, without the written consent of the
Agent, unless the Debtors shall have previously determined, using their commercially reasonable
judgment, that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Trademark registration, Patent,
Copyright registration or pending Trademark, Copyright, mask work or Patent application is not of
material economic value to it, in which case, the Debtors shall give notice of any such abandonment
to the Agent promptly in writing after the determination to abandon such Intellectual Property
Collateral is made.

 

17

 

No Infringement. In the event that a Debtor becomes aware that any item of the
Intellectual Property Collateral which such Debtor has determined, using its commercially
reasonable judgment, to be material to its business is infringed or misappropriated by a third
party, such Debtor shall notify the Agent promptly and in writing, in reasonable detail, and shall
take such actions as such Debtor or the Agent deems reasonably appropriate under the circumstances
to protect such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for
infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or
misappropriation. Any expense incurred in connection with such activities shall be borne by the
Debtors. Each Debtor will advise the Agent promptly and in writing, in reasonable detail, of any
adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the
institution of any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office or any court) regarding any material item of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

Accounts and Contracts. Each Debtor shall, in accordance with its usual business practices
in effect from time to time, endeavor to collect or cause to be collected from each account debtor
under its Accounts, as and when due, any and all amounts owing under such Accounts. So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided in Section
6.3, each Debtor shall have the right to collect and receive payments on its Accounts, and to
use and expend the same in its operations in each case in compliance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.

	 	(i)	 	Vehicles; Aircraft and Vessels. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, no Debtor shall be required to make any filings as may be necessary to
perfect the Agent’s Lien on its Vehicles, aircraft and vessels, unless (i) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, whereupon the Agent may require such filings be
made or (ii) such Debtor, either singly, or together with the other
Debtors, owns Vehicles, aircraft and vessels (other than Vehicles provided for use
by such Debtor’s executive employees) which have a fair market value of at least
$500,000, in aggregate amount, whereupon the applicable Debtors shall provide prompt
notice to the Agent, and the Agent, at its option, may require the applicable
Debtors to execute such agreements and make such filings as may be necessary to
perfect the Agent’s Lien for the benefit of the Lenders and ensure the priority
thereof on the applicable Vehicles, aircraft and vessels.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Deposit Accounts. Each Debtor agrees to comply with the requirements
set forth in Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement with respect to all Deposit Accounts,
cash collateral accounts or investment accounts opened after the date hereof.

 

18

 

Encumbrances. Each Debtor shall not create, permit or suffer to exist, and shall defend the
Collateral against any Lien (other than the Permitted Liens, provided that no Lien, other than the
Lien created hereunder, shall exist over the Pledged Shares) or any restriction upon the pledge or
other transfer thereof (other than as specifically permitted in the Credit Agreement), and shall
defend such Debtor’s title to and other rights in the Collateral and the Agent’s pledge and
collateral assignment of and security interest in the Collateral against the claims and demands of
all Persons. Except to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement or in connection with any
release of Collateral under Section 7.13 hereof (but only to the extent of any Collateral
so released), such Debtor shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Agent in the Collateral.

Disposition of Collateral. Except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, no Debtor
shall enter into or consummate any transfer or other disposition of Collateral.

Insurance. The Collateral pledged by such Debtor or the Debtors will be insured (to the extent such
Collateral is insurable) with insurance coverage in such amounts and of such types as are required
by the terms of the Credit Agreement. In the case of all such insurance policies, each such Debtor
shall designate the Agent, as mortgagee or lender loss payee and such policies shall provide that
any loss be payable to the Agent, as mortgagee or lender loss payee, as its interests may appear.
Further, upon the request of the Agent, each such Debtor shall deliver certificates evidencing such
policies, including all endorsements thereon and those required hereunder, to the Agent; and each
such Debtor assigns to the Agent, as additional security hereunder, all its rights to receive
proceeds of insurance with respect to the Collateral. All such insurance shall, by its terms,
provide that the applicable carrier shall, prior to any cancellation before the expiration date
thereof, mail thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent of such cancellation. Each Debtor
further shall provide the Agent upon request with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent
that each such Debtor is at all times in compliance with this paragraph. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may, at its option, act as each such
Debtor’s attorney-in-fact in obtaining, adjusting, settling and compromising such insurance and
endorsing any drafts. Upon such Debtor’s failure to insure the Collateral as required in this
covenant, the Agent may, at its option, procure such insurance and its costs therefor shall be
charged to such
Debtor, payable on demand, with interest at the highest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement and
added to the Indebtedness secured hereby. The disposition of Insurance Proceeds in respect of any
loss or casualty shall be made in accordance with Section 4.8(d) of the Credit Agreement.

Corporate Changes; Books and Records; Inspection Rights. (a) Each Debtor shall not change its
respective name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or identification
number in any manner that might make any financing statement filed in connection with this
Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC unless such Debtor
shall have given the Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice with respect to any change in such
Debtor’s corporate structure, jurisdiction of organization, name or identity and shall have taken
all action deemed reasonably necessary by the Agent under the circumstances to protect its Liens
and the perfection and priority thereof, (b) each Debtor shall keep the Records at the location
specified on Schedule 3.2 as the location of such books and records or as otherwise specified in
writing to the Agent and (c) the Debtors shall permit the Agent, the Lenders, and their respective
agents and representatives to conduct inspections, discussion and audits of the Collateral in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

19

 

Notification of Lien; Continuing Disclosure. Each Debtor shall promptly notify the Agent in
writing of any Lien, encumbrance or claim (other than a Permitted Lien, to the extent not otherwise
subject to any notice requirements under the Credit Agreement) that has attached to or been made or
asserted against any of the Collateral upon becoming aware of the existence of such Lien,
encumbrance or claim.

Covenants Regarding Pledged Shares

Voting Rights and Distributions.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (both before and
after giving effect to any of the actions or other matters described in clauses (A) or (B) of this
subparagraph):

Each Debtor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights
(including, without limitation, the right to give consents, waivers and ratifications) pertaining
to any of the Pledged Shares or any part thereof; provided, however, that no vote
shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken without the prior written
consent of the Agent which would violate any provision of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement;
and

Except as otherwise provided by the Credit Agreement, such Debtor shall be entitled to receive and
retain any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid in respect to any of the Pledged
Shares.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

The Agent may, without notice to such Debtor, transfer or register in the name of the Agent or any
of its nominees, for the equal and ratable benefit of the Lenders, any or all of the Pledged Shares
and the Proceeds thereof (in cash or otherwise) held by the Agent hereunder, and the Agent or its
nominee may thereafter, after delivery of notice to such Debtor, exercise all voting and corporate
rights at any meeting of any corporation issuing any of the Pledged Shares and any and all rights
of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any
of the Pledged Shares as if the Agent were the absolute owner thereof, including, without
limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Shares upon the
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of any corporation
issuing any of such Pledged Shares or upon the exercise by any such issuer or the Agent of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares, and in connection therewith, to
deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Shares with any committee, depositary, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may
determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the
Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options, and the
Agent shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

20

 

All rights of such Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(A) and to receive the
dividends, interest and other distributions which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and
retain pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(i)(B) shall be suspended until such Default or Event of
Default shall no longer exist, and all such rights shall, until such Default or Event of Default
shall no longer exist, thereupon become vested in the Agent which shall thereupon have the sole
right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive, hold and dispose of as
Pledged Shares such dividends, interest and other distributions.

All dividends, interest and other distributions which are received by such Debtor contrary to the
provisions of this Section 4.7(a)(ii) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to the
Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Each Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Agent all such
proxies and other instruments as the Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the
Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this
Section 4.7(a)(ii) and to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions which it
is entitled to receive and retain pursuant to this Section 4.7(a)(ii). The foregoing shall
not in any way limit the Agent’s power and authority granted pursuant to the other provisions of
this Agreement.

Possession; Reasonable Care. Regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default
has occurred or is continuing, the Agent shall have the right to hold in its possession all Pledged
Shares pledged, assigned or transferred hereunder and from time to time constituting a portion of
the Collateral. The Agent may appoint one or more agents (which in no case shall be a Debtor or an
affiliate of a Debtor) to hold physical custody, for the account of the Agent, of any or all of the
Collateral. The Agent
shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the
Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which the Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any
responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is
deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights
against any parties with respect to any Collateral, except, subject to the terms hereof, upon the
written instructions of the Lenders. Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, the Agent shall be entitled to take ownership of the Collateral in accordance with the
UCC.

New Subsidiaries; Additional Collateral

With respect to each Person which becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of a Debtor subsequent to the date
hereof, execute and deliver such joinders or security agreements or other pledge documents as are
required by Section 7.12 of the Credit Agreement, within the time periods set forth therein.

 

21

 

Each Debtor agrees that, (i) except with the written consent of the Agent, it will not permit any
Domestic Subsidiary (whether now existing or formed after the date hereof) to issue to such Debtor
or any of such Debtor’s other Subsidiaries any shares of stock, membership interests, partnership
units, notes or other securities or instruments (including without limitation the Pledged Shares)
in addition to or in substitution for any of the Collateral, unless, concurrently with each
issuance thereof, any and all such shares of stock, membership interests, partnership units, notes
or instruments are encumbered in favor of the Agent under this Agreement or otherwise (it being
understood and agreed that all such shares of stock, membership interests, partnership units, notes
or instruments issued to such Debtor shall, without further action by such Debtor or the Agent, be
automatically encumbered by this Agreement as Pledged Shares) and (ii) it will promptly following
the issuance thereof deliver to the Agent (A) an amendment, duly executed by such Debtor, in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto in respect of such shares of stock, membership
interests, partnership units, notes or instruments issued to Debtor or (B) if reasonably required
by the Lenders, a new stock pledge, duly executed by the applicable Debtor, in substantially the
form of this Agreement (a “New Pledge”), in respect of such shares of stock, membership
interests, partnership units, notes or instruments issued to any Debtor granting to the Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders, a first priority security interest, pledge and Lien thereon, together
in each case with all certificates, notes or other instruments representing or evidencing the same,
together with such other documentation as the Agent may reasonably request. Such Debtor hereby (x)
authorizes the Agent to attach each such amendment to this Agreement, (y) agrees that all such
shares of stock, membership interests, partnership units, notes or instruments listed in any such
amendment delivered to the Agent shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Shares, and
(z) is deemed to have made, upon the delivery of each such amendment, the representations and
warranties contained in Section 3.4 of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral
covered thereby.

With respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral owned, licensed or otherwise acquired by any
Debtor after the date hereof, and with respect to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to
the business of a Debtor which is not registered or filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
and/or the U.S. Copyright Office at the time such Collateral is pledged by a Debtor to the
Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement, and which is subsequently registered or filed by such
Debtor in the appropriate office, such Debtor shall promptly after the acquisition or registration
thereof execute or cause to be executed and delivered to the Agent, (i) an amendment, duly executed
by such Debtor, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, in respect of such additional or
newly registered collateral or (ii) at the Agent’s option, a new security agreement, duly executed
by the applicable Debtor, in substantially the form of this Agreement, in respect of such
additional or newly registered collateral, granting to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a
first priority security interest, pledge and Lien thereon (subject only to the Permitted Liens),
together in each case with all certificates, notes or other instruments representing or evidencing
the same, and shall, upon the Agent’s request, execute or cause to be executed any financing
statement or other document (including without limitation, filings required by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office and/or the U.S. Copyright Office in connection with any such additional or newly
registered collateral) granting or otherwise evidencing a Lien over such new Intellectual Property
Collateral. Each Debtor hereby (x) authorizes the Agent to attach each amendment to this
Agreement, (y) agrees that all such additional collateral listed in any amendment delivered to the
Agent shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Collateral, and (z) is deemed to have made, upon
the delivery of each such Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in Section
3.3(d) and Section 3.5 of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral covered
thereby.

 

22

 

Material Contracts. Each Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver or
consent to assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, with respect to any
Material Contract of the type described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof in the Credit
Agreement; provided that the Lenders hereby acknowledge that the following shall be deemed to be an
acceptable assignment provision for purposes of this Section 4.9: a Debtor may collaterally assign
its rights and obligations under this Agreement to its lenders, including, without limitation,
Agent and any other lenders party to the Credit Agreement (and any replacement facility), and
Prospect Capital Corporation, and any other lenders party to the subordinated term loan facility
(and any replacement facility), and upon a lender’s enforcement of such collateral assignment and
its assumption of the obligations of such Debtor under the Agreement, a subcontractor shall be
obligated to perform for such lender; provided that, following such enforcement, such lender shall
perform all such additional obligations and such subcontractor will not be liable for any increased
cost or incur any additional obligations or risk which it would not have been otherwise liable for
or would not have incurred under the Agreement with such Debtor.

Further Assurances (a) At any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Agent, and
at the sole expense of the Debtors, each Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver all such further
agreements, documents and instruments and take such further action as the Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to (i) preserve, ensure the priority, effectiveness and validity of and
perfect the Agent’s security interest in and pledge and collateral assignment of the Collateral
(including causing the Agent’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a
titled good if such notation is a condition of the Agent’s ability to enforce its security interest
in such Collateral), unless such actions are specifically waived under the terms of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, (ii) carry out the provisions and
purposes of this Agreement and (iii) to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights
and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. Except as otherwise expressly
permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement relating to disposition of assets and except for
Permitted Liens (except for Pledged Shares, over which the only Lien shall be that Lien established
under this Agreement), each Debtor agrees to maintain and preserve the Agent’s security interest in
and pledge and collateral assignment of the Collateral hereunder and the priority thereof.

(b) Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to
file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments
thereto that (i) indicate any or all of the Collateral upon which the Debtors have granted a Lien,
and (ii) provide any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC, including
organizational information and in the case of a fixture filing or a filing for Collateral
consisting of as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real
property to which the Collateral relates. Each Debtor agrees to furnish any such information
required by the preceding paragraph to the Agent promptly upon request.

 

23

 

Rights of the Agent

Power of Attorney. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full irrevocable power and authority in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, to take,
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all actions, and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which the Agent at any time and from time to time
deems necessary, to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such Debtor hereby gives the Agent the power and right on behalf of such Debtor
and in its own name to do any of the following after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, without notice to or the consent of such Debtor:

to demand, sue for, collect or receive, in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, any money or
property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral
and, in connection therewith, endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, documents
of title or any other instruments for the payment of money under the Collateral or any policy of
insurance;

to pay or discharge taxes, Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or other encumbrances levied or
placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(i) to direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the
Agent or as the Agent shall direct; (ii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies,
claims and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral; (iii) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading,
storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, proxies, stock powers,
verifications and notices in connection with accounts and other documents relating to the
Collateral; (iv) to commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in
any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce
any other right in respect of any Collateral; (v) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against such Debtor with respect to any Collateral; (vi) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit,
action or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as the Agent may deem appropriate; (vii) to exchange any of the Collateral for other
property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of
the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Collateral with any committee,
depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Agent may
determine; (viii) to add or release any guarantor, indorser, surety or other party to any of the
Collateral; (ix) to renew, extend or otherwise change the terms and conditions of any of the
Collateral; (x) to make, settle, compromise or adjust any claim under or pertaining to any of the
Collateral (including claims under any policy of insurance); (xi) subject to any pre-existing
rights or licenses, to assign any Patent, Copyright or Trademark constituting Intellectual Property
Collateral (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Patent, Copyright or
Trademark pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner, as the Agent
shall in its sole discretion determine, and (xii) to sell, transfer, pledge, convey, make any
agreement with respect to, or otherwise deal with, any of the Collateral as fully and completely as
though the Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Agent’s option
and such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Agent
deems necessary to protect, preserve, maintain, or realize upon the Collateral and the Agent’s
security interest therein.

 

24

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. The
Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers,
privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Agent in this Agreement, and shall
not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. This power of attorney is
conferred on the Agent solely to protect, preserve, maintain and realize upon its security interest
in the Collateral. The Agent shall not be responsible for any decline in the value of the
Collateral and shall not be required to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
to protect, preserve or maintain any Lien given to secure the Collateral.

Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of any rights of any Lenders under applicable
law, the Agent and each Lender shall, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
without notice or demand of any kind, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the
Indebtedness owing to it (whether or not then due) any and all balances, credits, deposits,
accounts or moneys of Debtors then or thereafter on deposit with such Lenders; provided,
however, that any such amount so applied by any Lender on any of the Indebtedness owing to
it shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

Assignment by the Agent. The Agent may at any time assign or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of its rights and obligations as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, the Indebtedness) to any other Person, to the extent permitted by,
and upon the conditions contained in, the Credit Agreement and such Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits and obligations thereof granted to the Agent herein or otherwise.

Performance by the Agent. If any Debtor shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) perform or attempt to
perform such covenant or agreement on behalf of the Debtors, in which case Agent shall exercise
good faith and make diligent efforts to give Debtors prompt prior written notice of such
performance or attempted performance. In such event, the Debtors shall, at the request of the
Agent, promptly pay any reasonable amount expended by the Agent in connection with such performance
or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the interest rate set
forth in the Credit Agreement, from and including the date of such expenditure to but excluding the
date such expenditure is paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that
the Agent shall not have any liability or responsibility for the performance (or non-performance)
of any obligation of the Debtors under this Agreement.

Certain Costs and Expenses. The Debtors shall pay or reimburse the Agent within five (5)
Business Days after demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s
and paralegal fees) incurred by it in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or
preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document during the
existence of an Event of Default or after acceleration of any of the Indebtedness (including in
connection with any “workout” or restructuring regarding the Indebtedness, and including in any
insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding). The agreements in this Section 5.5 shall
survive the payment in full of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reimbursement
of any fees and expenses incurred by the Lenders shall be governed by the terms and conditions of
the Credit Agreement.

 

25

 

Indemnification. The Debtors shall indemnify, defend and hold the Agent, and each Lender and
each of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact
(each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and
disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees) of any kind or nature
whatsoever, INCLUDING CLAIMS, DAMAGES, FINES, EXPENSES, LIABILITIES OR CAUSES OF ACTION OF WHATEVER
KIND RESULTING FROM THE AGENT’S OR ANY LENDER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE, which may at any time (including at
any time following repayment of the Indebtedness and the termination, resignation or replacement of
the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any document relating to or arising out of or referred to in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any
such Indemnified Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to
any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any bankruptcy proceeding or appellate
proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Indebtedness or the use of the
proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing,
collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Debtors shall have
no obligation under this Section 5.6 to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section 5.6 shall survive payment of all other
Indebtedness.

Default

Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent
shall have the following rights and remedies subject to the direction and/or consent of the Lenders
as required under the Credit Agreement:

The Agent may exercise any of the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Article 5 hereof), in the Credit Agreement, or in any other Loan
Document, or by applicable law.

 

26

 

In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Agent in this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement or by applicable law, the Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and the Agent may
also, without previous demand or notice except as specified below or in the Credit Agreement, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may, in its reasonable discretion,
deem
commercially reasonable or otherwise as may be permitted by law. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Agent may (i) without demand or notice to the Debtors (except as required
under the Credit Agreement or applicable law), collect, receive or take possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and for that purpose the Agent (and/or its Agents, servicers or
other independent contractors) may enter upon any premises on which the Collateral is located and
remove the Collateral therefrom or render it inoperable, and/or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or
sales, at the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon
such other terms as the Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, deem commercially reasonable or
otherwise as may be permitted by law. The Agent and, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
each of the Lenders shall have the right at any public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, at any private sale or sales, to bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in
the form of cancellation of indebtedness) and become a purchaser of the Collateral or any part
thereof free of any right of redemption on the part of the Debtors, which right of redemption
is hereby expressly waived and released by the Debtors to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Agent may require the Debtors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at
any place designated by the Agent to allow the Agent to take possession or dispose of such
Collateral. The Debtors agree that the Agent shall not be obligated to give more than five (5)
days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
private sale may take place and that such notice shall constitute reasonable notice of such
matters. The foregoing shall not require notice if none is required by applicable law. The Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if, in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion, it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of
Collateral may have been given. The Agent may, without notice or publication (except as required
by applicable law), adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. The Debtors shall be
liable for all reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or the like, and all
reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in
connection with the collection of the Indebtedness and the enforcement of the Agent’s rights under
this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Debtors shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of the
Collateral (conducted in conformity with this clause (ii) and applicable law) applied to the
Indebtedness are insufficient to pay the Indebtedness in full. The Agent shall apply the proceeds
from the sale of the Collateral hereunder against the Indebtedness in such order and manner as
provided in the Credit Agreement.

The Agent may cause any or all of the Collateral held by it to be transferred into the name of the
Agent or the name or names of the Agent’s nominee or nominees.

The Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies of the Debtors under or in respect of the
Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of the Debtors to demand or otherwise
require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of any of the Collateral and
any and all voting rights and corporate powers in respect of the Collateral.

On any sale of the Collateral, the Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or
restriction with which compliance is necessary (based on a reasoned opinion of the Agent’s counsel)
in order to avoid any violation of applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of
the purchaser or purchasers by any applicable Governmental Authority.

 

27

 

The Agent may direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the
Agent or as the Agent shall direct.

In the event of any sale, assignment or other disposition of the Intellectual Property Collateral,
the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Collateral subject to such
disposition shall be included, and the Debtors shall supply to the Agent or its designee the
Debtors’ know-how and expertise related to the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such
disposition, and the Debtors’ notebooks, studies, reports, records, documents and things embodying
the same or relating to the inventions, processes or ideas covered by and to the
manufacture of any products under or in connection with the Intellectual Property Collateral
subject to such disposition.

For purposes of enabling the Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section
6.1 and enabling the Agent and its successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the
Collateral, the Debtors hereby grant to the Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Debtors) to use, assign, license or
sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, Computer Records or Software (including in
such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or
stored and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof), exercisable upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and thereafter if Agent succeeds to
any of the Collateral pursuant to an enforcement proceeding or voluntary arrangement with Debtor),
except as may be prohibited by any licensing agreement relating to such Computer Records or
Software. This license shall also inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns, transferees of
and purchasers from the Agent.

Private Sales.

In view of the fact that applicable securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method
by which a sale of the Pledged Shares may be effected after an Event of Default, Debtors agree that
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may from time to
time attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Shares by a private sale in the nature of a
private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent
and agree that they are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are
purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Agent may solicit offers
for the Pledged Shares, or any part thereof, from a limited number of investors who might be
interested in purchasing the Pledged Shares. Without limiting the methods or manner of disposition
which could be determined to be commercially reasonable, if the Agent hires a firm of regional or
national reputation that is engaged in the business of rendering investment banking and brokerage
services to solicit such offers and facilitate the sale of the Pledged Shares, then the Agent’s
acceptance of the highest offer (including its own offer, or the offer of any of the Lenders at any
such sale) obtained through such efforts of such firm shall be deemed to be a commercially
reasonable method of disposition of such Pledged Shares. The Agent shall not be under any
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Shares for the period of time necessary to permit
the issuer of such securities to register such securities under the laws of any jurisdiction
outside the United States, under the Securities Act or under any applicable state securities laws,
even if such issuer would agree to do so.

 

28

 

The Debtors further agree to do or cause to be done, to the extent that the Debtors may do so under
applicable law, all such other reasonable acts and things as may be necessary to make such sales or
resales of any portion or all of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and
all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all
courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction
over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtors’ expense.

Establishment of Cash Collateral Account; and Lock Box.

Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (without the
necessity of any notice hereunder), there shall be established by each Debtor with the Agent, for
the benefit of the Lenders in the name of the Agent, a segregated non-interest bearing cash
collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) bearing a designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders;
provided, however, that the Cash Collateral Account may be an interest-bearing
account with a commercial bank (including Comerica or any other Lender which is a commercial bank)
if determined by the Agent, in its reasonable discretion, to be practicable, invested by the Agent
in its sole discretion, but without any liability for losses or the failure to achieve any
particular rate of return. Furthermore, in connection with the establishment of a Cash Collateral
Account under the first sentence of this Section 6.3 (and on the terms and within the time
periods provided thereunder), (i) each Debtor agrees to establish and maintain (and the Agent,
acting at the request of the Lenders, may establish and maintain) at Debtor’s sole expense a United
States Post Office lock box (the “Lock Box”), to which the Agent shall have exclusive
access and control. Each Debtor expressly authorizes the Agent, from time to time, to remove the
contents from the Lock Box for disposition in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) each Debtor
shall notify all account debtors that all payments made to Debtor (a) other than by electronic
funds transfer, shall be remitted, for the credit of Debtor, to the Lock Box, and Debtor shall
include a like statement on all invoices, and (b) by electronic funds transfer, shall be remitted
to the Cash Collateral Account, and Debtor shall include a like statement on all invoices. Each
Debtor agrees to execute all documents and authorizations as reasonably required by the Agent to
establish and maintain the Lock Box and the Cash Collateral Account. It is acknowledged by the
parties hereto that any lockbox presently maintained or subsequently established by a Debtor with
the Agent may be used, subject to the terms hereof, to satisfy the requirements set forth in the
first sentence of this Section 6.3.

 

29

 

Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all cash
(including amounts received by electronic funds transfer), checks, drafts and other instruments for
the payment of money received by each Debtor at any time, in full or partial payment of any of the
Collateral consisting of Accounts or Inventory, shall forthwith upon receipt be transmitted and
delivered to the Agent, properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by
the Agent. Any such amounts and other items received by a Debtor shall not be commingled with any
other of such Debtor’s funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from such Debtor’s
own funds or property, and upon express trust for the benefit of the Agent until delivery is made
to the Agent. All items or amounts which are remitted to a Lock Box or otherwise delivered by or
for the benefit of a Debtor to the Agent on account of partial or full payment of, or any other
amount payable with respect to, any of the Collateral shall, at the Agent’s option, be applied to
any of the Indebtedness, whether then due or not, in the order and manner set forth in the Credit
Agreement. No Debtor shall have any right whatsoever to withdraw any funds so deposited. Each
Debtor further grants to the Agent a first security interest in and Lien on all funds on deposit in
such account. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Agent to endorse all items
received for deposit to the Cash Collateral Account, notwithstanding the inclusion on any such item
of a restrictive notation, e.g., “paid in full”, “balance of account”, or other restriction.

Miscellaneous

No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise and no delay
in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,

exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this
Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

in a written notice to the other. All such notices, requests and communications shall, when sent by

GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS.

Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in this
Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, and no investigation by the Agent shall affect the representations and
warranties or the right of the Agent or the Lenders to rely upon them.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Collateral by judicial process, the Debtors hereby irrevocably waive any bonds and any surety or
security relating thereto that may be required by applicable law as an incident to such possession,
and waives any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any such suit or action.

Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Construction. Each Debtor and the Agent acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of
legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement with

accommodations under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, the Agent shall, upon the written
request of the Debtors, execute and deliver to the Debtors a proper instrument or instruments
acknowledging the release and termination of the security interests created by this Agreement, and
shall duly assign and deliver to the Debtors (without recourse and without any representation or
warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Agent and has not previously
been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to this Agreement.

Release of Collateral. The Agent shall, upon the written request of the Debtors, execute and
deliver to the Debtors a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the release of the security
interest and Liens established hereby on any Collateral (other than the Pledged Shares): (a) if the
sale or other disposition of such Collateral is permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement,
(b) if the sale or other disposition of such Collateral is not permitted under the terms of the
Credit Agreement, provided that the requisite Lenders under such Credit Agreement shall have
consented to such sale or disposition in accordance with the terms thereof, or (c) if such release

Credit Agreement.

be interpreted consistently with, and shall be in addition to (and not in lieu of), the rights and
duties created by the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In the event that any
provision of this Agreement shall be inconsistent with any provision of the Credit Agreement, such
provision of the Credit Agreement shall govern.

Continuing Lien. The security interest granted under this Security Agreement shall be a
continuing security interest in every respect (whether or not the outstanding balance of the
Indebtedness is from time to time temporarily reduced to zero) and the Agent’s security interest in
the Collateral as granted herein shall continue in full force and effect for the entire duration
that the Credit Agreement remains in effect and until all of the Indebtedness are repaid and

	TO: 	 	Borrower
	 
	 	 	     and
	 
	 	 	Comerica Bank (“Agent”)
	 
	RE: 	 	Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement made as of the       day of
                    , 2008, by and among the financial institutions from time to
time signatory thereto (individually a “Lender,” and any and all such

“Borrowers”) (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to Section 13.8 of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein or
the context otherwise requires, all initially capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

This Agreement constitutes notice to each of you of the proposed assignment and delegation by
[insert name of assignor] (the “Assignor”) to [insert name of assignee] (the
“Assignee”), and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Assignor hereby
sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor,
effective on the “Effective Date” (as hereafter defined) that undivided interest in each of
Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the
amounts as set forth on the attached Schedule 1, such that, after giving effect to the foregoing
assignment and assumption, and the concurrent assignment by Assignor to Assignee on the date
hereof, the Assignee’s interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in
any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances) and the Term Loan shall be as set
forth in the attached Schedule 2 with respect to the Assignee.

 

 

 

The Assignor hereby instructs the Agent to make all payments from and including the Effective
Date hereof in respect of the interest assigned hereby, directly to the Assignee. The Assignor and
the Assignee agree that all interest and fees accrued up to, but not including, the Effective Date
of the assignment and delegation being made hereby are the property of the Assignor, and not the
Assignee. The Assignee agrees that, upon receipt of any such interest or fees accrued up to the
Effective Date, the Assignee will promptly remit the same to the Assignor.

The Assignee hereby confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the
exhibits and schedules referred to therein, and all other Loan Documents which it considers
necessary, together with copies of the other documents which were required to be delivered under
the Credit Agreement as a condition to the making of the loans thereunder. The Assignee
acknowledges and agrees that it: (a) has made and will continue to make such inquiries and has
taken and will take such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had its Percentage been
granted and its loans been made directly by such Assignee to the Borrowers without the intervention
of the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender; and (b) has made and will continue to make,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, its own credit analysis and decisions
relating to the Credit Agreement. The Assignee further acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Agent, nor the Assignor has made any representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of
the Borrowers or any other party to the Credit Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, or
with respect to the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, or
any other of the Loan Documents. This assignment shall be made without recourse to or warranty by
the Assignor, except as set forth herein.

Assignee represents and warrants that it is a Person to which assignments are permitted
pursuant to Section 13.8 of the Credit Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date:

the Assignee: (i) shall be deemed automatically to have become a party to the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to have assumed all of the Assignor’s
obligations thereunder to the extent of the Assignee’s percentage referred to in the
second paragraph of this Assignment Agreement, and to have all the rights and
obligations of a party to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if it
were an original signatory thereto to the extent specified in the second paragraph
hereof; and (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as if it were an original signatory thereto; and

the Assignor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be reduced by the Percentage referred to in the second paragraph of this
Assignment Agreement.

As used herein, the term “Effective Date” means the date on which all of the following have
occurred or have been completed, as reasonably determined by the Agent:

the delivery to the Agent of an original of this Assignment Agreement executed by
the Assignor and the Assignee;

the payment to the Agent, of all accrued fees, expenses and other items for which
reimbursement is then owing under the Credit Agreement; and

all other restrictions and items noted in Section 13.8 of the Credit Agreement have
been completed.

The Agent shall notify the Assignor and the Assignee, along with Borrowers, of the Effective Date.

The Assignee hereby advises each of you of the following administrative details with respect
to the assigned loans:

	 	(A)	 	Address for Notices:
	 
	 	 	 	Institution Name:
	 
	 	 	 	Address:
	 
	 	 	 	Attention:

	 	 	 	Facsimile:
	 
	 	(B)	 	Payment Instructions:
	 
	 	(C)	 	Proposed effective date of assignment.

EXHIBIT I

FORM OF GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY dated as of                     ,      , is made by the undersigned Guarantors
(collectively, the “Guarantors” and each individually a “Guarantor”) to Comerica
Bank, a Texas banking association (“Comerica”), as Administrative Agent for and on behalf
of the Lenders (as defined below) (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

RECITALS:

PMFG, Inc., Peerless Mfg Co (the “Company”) and certain of its Subsidiaries which from time to
time become signatories thereto (together with the Company, each, individually a
“Borrower,” and collectively and together with any other Persons that may from time to time
become parties to the Credit Agreement as borrowers, the “Borrowers”), have entered into
that certain Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of                     , 2008 (as amended,
supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”) with each of the financial institutions party thereto (collectively, including
their respective successors and assigns, the “Lenders”) and the Agent, pursuant to which
the Lenders have agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, to extend or
to continue to extend financial accommodations to the Borrowers, as provided therein.

As a condition to entering into and performing their respective obligations under the Credit
Agreement, the Lenders and the Agent have required that each of the Guarantors provide to the
Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders, this Guaranty.

Each of the Guarantors desires to see the success of the Borrowers. Furthermore, each of the
Guarantors shall receive direct and/or indirect benefits from extensions of credit made or to be
made pursuant to the Credit Agreement to the Borrowers.

The business operations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors are interrelated and complement
one another, and such entities have a common business purpose, with intercompany bookkeeping and
accounting adjustments used to separate their respective properties, liabilities, and transactions.
To permit their uninterrupted and continuous operations, such entities now require and will from
time to time hereafter require funds and credit accommodations for general business purposes, and
the proceeds of advances under the credit facilities extended under the Credit Agreement will
directly or indirectly benefit the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereunder, severally and jointly.

The Agent is acting as agent for the Lenders pursuant to Section 12 of the Credit
Agreement.

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce each of the Lenders to enter into and perform its obligations under
the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors has executed and delivered this Guaranty (as amended
and otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”).

Definitions. As used in this Guaranty, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein
have the meanings provided for such terms in the Credit Agreement. The term “Lenders” as used
herein shall include any successors or assigns of the Lenders in accordance with the Credit
Agreement. In addition, the following term shall have the following meaning:

“Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean, collectively, all Indebtedness of the
Borrowers (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (including, without limitation,
interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Credit Agreement after
maturity thereof and accruing on or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy,
or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding by or
against the Borrowers or any one of them, whether or not a claim for post-filing or
post-petition interest is allowed in such a proceeding and including, without
limitation, interest at the default rate specified in any document, instrument or
agreement applicable to any of the Indebtedness), and all other liabilities and
obligations of any Borrower, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter incurred, which may
arise under, out of, or in connection with the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty and
the other Loan Documents.

Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, guarantees to the
Lenders the due and punctual payment to the Lenders when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each of such Guarantors further jointly and
severally agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), that may be
paid or incurred by the Agent or any Lender in enforcing or preserving rights with respect to or
collecting any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or
collecting against the Guarantors under this Guaranty.

Unconditional Character of Guaranty. The obligations of each of the Guarantors under
this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall be a guaranty of payment and not of
collection, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, or any provision thereof, the absence of any action to enforce the
same, any waiver or consent with respect to or any amendment of any provision thereof (provided
that any amendment of this Guaranty shall be in accordance with the terms hereof), the recovery of
any judgment against any Person or action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the
enforcement of the obligations of the any Credit Party under the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation, defense or termination
whether with or without notice to the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives diligence,
demand for payment, filing of claims with any court, any proceeding to enforce any provision of the
Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Borrowers or any one of them or against any other Guarantor or other Person providing
collateral, or to exhaust any security for the performance of the obligations of the Borrowers or
any one of them, any protest, presentment, notice or demand

 

2

 

whatsoever, and each Guarantor hereby covenants that this Guaranty shall not be terminated, discharged or released until, subject to
Section 15 hereof, final payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations due or to
become due and the termination of any and all commitments of Agent, Issuing Lender, Swing Line
Lender and the Lenders to extend credit (whether optional or obligatory) under the Credit Agreement
or any other Loan Document, and only to the extent of any such payment, performance and discharge.
Each Guarantor hereby further covenants that no security now or subsequently held by the Agent or
the Lenders for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, any
security for any of the foregoing), whether in the nature of a security interest, pledge, lien,
assignment, setoff, suretyship, guaranty, indemnity, insurance or otherwise, and no act, omission
or other conduct of the Agent or the Lenders in respect of such security, shall affect in any
manner whatsoever the unconditional obligations of this Guaranty, and that the Agent and each of
the Lenders in their respective sole discretion and without notice to any of the Guarantors, may
release, exchange, enforce, apply the proceeds of and otherwise deal with any such security without
affecting in any manner the unconditional obligations of this Guaranty.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors under this
Guaranty, and the rights of the Agent to enforce the same, on behalf of the Lenders by proceedings,
whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be in any way affected to the
extent permitted by applicable law, by (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization,
readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or affecting the
Borrowers or any one of them, any or all of the Guarantors or any other Person or any of their
respective Affiliates including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations in or as a result of any such proceeding; (ii) any change in the
ownership of any of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of the Lenders or any or all
of the Guarantors, or any other Person providing collateral for any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any of their respective Affiliates; (iii) the election by the Agent or any Lender, in any
bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, to apply or not apply Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code; (iv) any extension of credit or the grant of any security interest or lien under the
Bankruptcy Code; (v) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate
protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person; (vi) the avoidance of any security interest
or lien in favor of the Agent or any Lender for any reason; (vii) any action taken by the Agent or
any Lender that is authorized by this paragraph or any other provision of this Guaranty; or (viii)
any other principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict
with the terms hereof.

Waivers. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives to the fullest extent possible under
applicable law:

any defense based upon the doctrine of marshaling of assets or upon an election of remedies by
Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, an election to proceed by non-judicial rather
than judicial foreclosure;

any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a
surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal;

 

3

 

any duty on the part of Agent or any of the Lenders to disclose to such Guarantor any facts
Agent or the Lenders may now or hereafter know about the Borrowers, regardless of whether Agent or
any Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which
such Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to such
Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to such Guarantor;

any other event or action (excluding compliance by such Guarantor with the provisions hereof)
that would result in the discharge by operation of law or otherwise of such Guarantor from the
performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty; and

all rights to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Agent or any Lender.

Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that this is a knowing and informed waiver of
the undersigned’s rights as discussed above and that the Agent and the Lenders are relying on this
waiver in extending credit to the Borrowers.

Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby waives any claim for reimbursement,
contribution, exoneration, indemnity or subrogation, or any other similar claim, which such
Guarantor may have or obtain against the Borrowers or any one of them, by reason of the existence
of this Guaranty, or by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or the performance of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been repaid and discharged in full, no Letters of
Credit shall remain outstanding and all commitments to extend credit under the Credit Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents (whether optional or obligatory) have been terminated. Any amounts
paid to such Guarantor on account of any such claim at any time when the obligations of such
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not have been fully and finally paid shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and
forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor shall be turned over to Agent in the exact form received
by such Guarantor (duly endorsed to Agent by such Guarantor, if required), to be applied to such
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner
as Agent may determine.

Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that this is a knowing and informed waiver of
the undersigned’s rights as discussed above and that the Agent and the Lenders are relying on this
waiver in extending credit to the Borrowers.

Other Transactions. The Agent and each of the Lenders may deal with the Borrowers and
any security held by them for the obligations of the Borrowers in the same manner and as freely as
if this Guaranty did not exist and the Agent shall be entitled, on behalf of the Lenders, without
notice to any of the Guarantors, among other things, to grant to the Borrowers or any one of them
such extension or extensions of time to perform any act or acts as may seem advisable to the Agent
(on behalf of the Lenders) at any time and from time to time, and to permit the Borrowers or any
one of them to incur additional indebtedness to the
Agent, the Lenders, or any of them, without terminating, affecting or impairing the validity
or enforceability of this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder.

 

4

 

Remedies; Right to Offset. The Agent may proceed, either in its own name (on behalf
of the Lenders) or in the name of each or any of the Guarantors, or otherwise, to protect and
enforce any or all of its rights under this Guaranty by suit in equity, action at law or by other
appropriate proceedings, or to take any action authorized or permitted under applicable law, and
shall be entitled to require and enforce the performance of all acts and things required to be
performed hereunder by the Guarantors. Each and every remedy of the Agent and of the Lenders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.

At the option of the Agent, any or all of the Guarantors may be joined in any action or
proceeding commenced by the Agent against the Borrowers or any one of them or any of the other
parties providing Collateral for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and recovery may be had against
any or all of the Guarantors in such action or proceeding or in any independent action or
proceeding against any of them, without any requirement that the Agent or the Lenders first assert,
prosecute or exhaust any remedy or claim against the Borrowers or any one of them and/or any of the
other parties providing Collateral for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each of the Guarantors acknowledges the rights of the Agent and of each of the Lenders,
subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, to offset against the
Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor to the Lenders under this Guaranty, any amount owing by the
Agent or the Lenders, or either or any of them to such Guarantors, whether represented by any
deposit of such Guarantors (or any of them) with the Agent or any of the Lenders or otherwise.

Borrowers’ Financial Condition. Each Guarantor delivers this Guaranty based solely on
its own independent investigation of (or decision not to investigate) the financial condition of
the Borrowers and is not relying on any information furnished by Agent or the Lenders. Each
Guarantor assumes full responsibility to keep itself informed concerning the financial condition of
the Borrowers and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed
Obligation, the status of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other matter which such Guarantor may
deem necessary or appropriate, now or later.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants. Each Guarantor (a) ratifies, confirms and,
by reference thereto (as fully as though such matters were expressly set forth herein), represents
and warrants with respect to itself those matters set forth in Article 6 of the Credit
Agreement to the extent applicable to such Guarantor and those matters set forth in the recitals
hereto, and such representations and warranties shall, as of the Effective Date (as defined in the
Credit Agreement), be deemed to be true and correct in all material respects so long as this
Guaranty shall be in effect; and (b) agrees to comply with the covenants set forth in Article
7 and Article 8 of the Credit Agreement to the extent applicable to such Guarantor, and
(ii) not to otherwise engage in any action or inaction, the result of which would cause a violation
of any term or condition of the Credit Agreement.

interpreted and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be determined under the laws of, and be
enforceable in, the State of Texas. If any term or provision of this Guaranty or the application
thereof to any circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Guaranty, or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those as to
which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and
provision of this Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

such party in a written notice to the other. All such notices, requests and communications shall,
when sent by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next business

Amendments; Future Subsidiaries. The terms of this Guaranty may not be altered,
modified, amended, supplemented or terminated in any manner whatsoever unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by or on behalf of the requisite Lenders as determined pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. Any Person at any time required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section
7.12(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise shall become obligated as Guarantors hereunder
(each as fully as though an original signatory hereto) by executing and delivering to the Agent and
the Lenders that certain joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

No Waiver. No waiver or release shall be deemed to have been made by the Agent or any
of the Lenders of any of their respective rights hereunder unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by or on behalf of the requisite Lenders as determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and
any such waiver shall be a waiver or release only with respect to the specific matter and Guarantor
or Guarantors involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of the Agent or any of the Lenders or
the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty in any other respect at any other time.

Joint and Several Obligation, etc. The obligation of each of the Guarantors under
this Guaranty shall be several and also joint, each with all and also each with any one or more of

with or without consideration for such release and the obligations of the other Guarantors
hereunder shall be in no way affected thereby. The Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may fail or elect
not to prove a claim against any bankrupt or insolvent Guarantor and thereafter, the Agent and the
Lenders may, without notice to any Guarantors, extend or
renew any part or all of the obligations of the Borrowers or any one of them under the Credit
Agreement or otherwise, and may permit any such Person to incur additional indebtedness, without
affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of each of the Guarantors hereunder. Such
action shall not affect any right of contribution among the Guarantors.

 

6

 

Release; Reinstatement. Upon the final payment and discharge in full of all
Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of any and all commitments of Agent, Issuing Lender,
Swing Line Lender and the Lenders to extend credit (whether optional or obligatory) under the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent shall deliver to such Guarantors, upon
written request therefor, (a) a written release of this Guaranty and (b) appropriate discharges of
any Collateral provided by the Guarantors for this Guaranty; provided however that, the
effectiveness of this Guaranty shall continue or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event:

returned, disgorged, rescinded or required to be recontributed to any party as an avoidable
preference, impermissible setoff, fraudulent conveyance, restoration of capital or otherwise under
any applicable state, federal, or local law of any jurisdiction, including laws pertaining to
bankruptcy or insolvency, and this Guaranty shall thereafter be enforceable against the Guarantors
as if such returned, disgorged, recontributed or rescinded payment or credit has not been received
or given by the Agent or the Lenders, and whether or not the Agent or any Lender relied upon such
payment or credit or changed its position as a consequence thereof or (y) that any liability is
imposed, or sought to be imposed against the Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, relating to the
environmental condition of any of property mortgaged or pledged to the Agent on behalf of the
Lenders by any Guarantor, Borrowers or any other party as collateral (in whole or part) for any
indebtedness or obligation evidenced or secured by this Guaranty, whether such condition is known
or unknown, now exists or subsequently arises (excluding only conditions which arise after
acquisition by the Agent or any Lender of any such property, in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise,
due to the wrongful act or omission of the Agent or such Lenders, or any person other than the
Borrowers or any one of them, the Subsidiaries, or Affiliates of the Borrowers or the
Subsidiaries), and this Guaranty shall thereafter be enforceable against the Guarantors to the
extent of all such liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred
by the Agent or Lenders as the direct or indirect result of any such environmental condition but
only for which the Borrowers are, or any one of them is, obligated to the Agent and the Lenders
pursuant to the Credit Agreement. For purposes of this Guaranty “environmental condition” includes,
without limitation, conditions existing with respect to the surface or ground water, drinking water
supply, land surface or subsurface strata and the ambient air.

non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States federal or Texas state court sitting in Dallas, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan
Documents and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in any such United States federal or Texas state court. Each
of the Guarantors irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of Texas (and to the receipt of any and all
notices hereunder) by the delivery of copies of such process to Guarantors at their respective
addresses identified in Section 11 hereof in the manner set forth therein.

 

7

 

Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Guaranty are for
convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.

Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR (AND THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER BY ACCEPTING THE
BENEFITS HEREOF) WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT
BY EITHER SUCH PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR
OTHERWISE. EACH DEBTOR AND THE AGENT AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED
BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH SUCH PARTY FURTHER AGREES
THAT ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION,
COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR
ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF.
THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO
THIS AGREEMENT.

Limitation under Applicable Insolvency Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, it is the intention of the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders that the amount
of the respective Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be in, but not in excess of, the maximum
amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of applicable law governing
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution,
insolvency, fraudulent transfers or conveyances or other similar laws (collectively,
“Applicable Insolvency Laws”). To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that
the Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder or any payment made pursuant thereto would, but
for the operation of the foregoing proviso, be subject to avoidance or recovery under Applicable
Insolvency Laws, the amount of the Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder shall be limited to
the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under Applicable Insolvency Laws,
render the Guarantor’s respective obligations hereunder unenforceable or avoidable or subject to
recovery under Applicable Insolvency Laws. To the extent any payment actually made hereunder
exceeds the limitation contained in this Section 20, then the amount of such excess shall,
from and after the time of payment by the Guarantors (or any of them), be reimbursed by the Lenders
upon demand by such Guarantors. The foregoing proviso is intended solely to preserve the rights of
the Agent and the Lenders hereunder against the Guarantors to the maximum extent permitted by
Applicable Insolvency Laws and neither the Borrowers or any one of them, nor any Guarantor nor any
other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 20 that would not
otherwise be available under Applicable Insolvency Laws.

               (b) Quarterly Reports. Furnish to such Investor as soon as practicable, and in any
case within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company (except the

               (c) Monthly Reports. Furnish to such Investor as soon as practicable, and in any case

financial position and consolidated financial results of the Company for the month covered;

               (d) Annual Budget. Furnish to such Investor as soon as practicable and in any event
no later than thirty (30) days prior to the close of each fiscal year of the Company, an annual

be obligated to register shares of any series of Preferred Stock, and that Holders of Registrable
Securities will not be required to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock in
order to exercise the registration rights granted hereunder, until immediately before the closing
of the offering to which the registration relates.

               (e) Form S-3. The term “Form S-3” means such form under the Securities Act as is in
effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form under the Securities Act
subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial
information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

               (f) SEC. The term “SEC” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

     2.2 Demand Registration.

               (a) Request by Holders. If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of
September 14, 2012, or six (6) months after the effective date of the Company’s initial public
offering of its securities pursuant to a registration filed under the Securities Act, a written
request from the Holders of at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2, then the Company shall,
within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such
request (the “Request Notice”) to all Holders, and effect, as soon as practicable, the
registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which Holders request to be
registered and include in such registration by notice given by such Holders to the Company within
twenty (20) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations of this
Section 2; provided that the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be
registered pursuant to such request must have an anticipated aggregate public offering price
(before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000).

               (b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this
Section 2.2 (the “Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by
their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of
their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 and the Company shall include such information in
the Request Notice referred to in subsection 2.2(a). The Initiating Holders shall select the
managing underwriter or underwriters for such registration, subject to the consent of the Company,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In such event, the right of any Holder to include his,
her, or its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in
the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating
Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to

4

 

distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting
agreement with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the
Initiating Holders (and approved by the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.2, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require
a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise all
Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant
hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be
reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable
Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding
held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided,
however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are
first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. Any Registrable Securities
excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.

               (c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is obligated to effect only
two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2 and shall only be required to effect one
(1) registration pursuant to his Section 2.2 in any twelve (12) month period.

               (d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders
requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate
signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore
essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the
right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the
Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

               (e) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to
this Section 2.2, including, without limitation, all registration and qualification fees,
printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders, not to exceed
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (but excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions),
shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by
such Holder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it goes
effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in
connection with such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required
to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 2.2 if the
registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one (1) demand registration pursuant
to this Section 2.2 (in which case such right shall be forfeited by all Holders of Registrable
Securities); provided, further, however, that if at the time of such
withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or
prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such
registration and have

5

 

withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such
material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and
shall retain their demand registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2.

          2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable
Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under
the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company
(including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of
securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any
registration under Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or
a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.
Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the
Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the
above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice
shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in
such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities
in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless
continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration
statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of
its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

               (a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice
under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the
Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable
Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned
upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing
to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an
underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected by the Company or
the applicable stockholders, as the case may be, for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determine(s) in good faith that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the
registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the
registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, and
second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in
such registration statement; on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable
Securities then held by each such Holder; provided however, that the, right of the
underwriters to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and
underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable
Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of
the shares included in the registration, except for a registration relating to the Company’s
initial public offering or an offering solely by stockholders of the Company exercising demand
registration rights, from which all Registrable Securities may be excluded; and (ii) all shares
that are not Registrable Securities and are held by persons who are employees or directors of the
Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and
underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the
terms of

6

 

any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice, given
in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least
twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable
Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the
registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners
and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and
retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed
to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and
individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

               (b) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to
this Section 2.3, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printers’
and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees
and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders, not to exceed Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000) (but excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions), shall be borne by the
Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall bear such
Holder’s proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total
number, of shares included in such registration at the time it goes effective) of all discounts,
commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering.

          2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any
Holder, or Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of Registrable Securities then outstanding a
written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 with respect to all
or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will do
the following:

               (a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the
Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor to all other Holders of Registrable Securities.

               (b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration as may be so
requested and qualify or comply with such other rules and regulations as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’
Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the
Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in
a written request given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any
such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:

                    (1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering;

                    (2) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled
to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities at an aggregate price to
the public of less than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000);

7

 

                    (3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or
Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders
for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have
the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement no more than once during any
twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4;

                    (4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such
request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this
Section 2.4; or

                    (5) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do
business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance.

               (c) Expenses. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.4 as soon as
practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders for such registration. The
Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to
this Section 2.4, (excluding underwriters’ or brokers’ discounts and commissions), including
without limitation all filing, registration and qualification, printers’ and accounting fees and
the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for the selling Holder or Holders, not to
exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), and counsel for the Company. Each Holder
participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall bear such Holder’s
proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total number of
shares included in such registration at the tune it goes effective) of all discounts, commissions
or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering.

               (d) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand
registrations as described in Section 2.2 above.

          2.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:

               (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective,
and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered
thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to one hundred twenty (120) days.

               (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all securities covered by such registration statement.

8

 

               (c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as
they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by them that are included in such registration.

               (d) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such
registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in
connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

               (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of
such offering, and each Holder participating in such underwriting hereby agrees to also enter into
and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

               (f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be, delivered under the Securities Act
of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

               (g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities,
on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such
securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes
effective: (1) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders
requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting
registration of Registrable Securities and (2) a “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the
independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily
given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public
offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting
registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities.

          2.6 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling Holders shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by
them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely
effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

          2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an
injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any
controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section
2.

9

 

          2.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:

               (a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 2.8, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners,
officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), against
any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, the “Violations” and,
individually, a “Violation”):

                    (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; or

                    (2) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or

                    (3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the
offering covered by such registration statement.

The Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director, underwriter or
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim; damage, liability or
action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director,
underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

               (b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have
signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such
registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors or officers or any
person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any
such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or
director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may

10

 

become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out
of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration. Each such Holder will reimburse
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer,
controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person
of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in
this subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that the
total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 2.8(b) in respect of any
Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering
out of which such Violation arises.

               (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of
notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this
Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof. The
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties; provided,
however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with
the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be, pursuant to an opinion of the
indemnified party’s counsel, inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this
Section 2.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not
relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 2.8.

               (d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity agreements of the
Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation
made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with
the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended
prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity
agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was
furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss,
liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

               (e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (1) any Holder exercising rights
under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a

11

 

claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification
in such case, or (2) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such
selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 2.8; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder is responsible for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities
offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other
selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however, that
in any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant
to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from
any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

               (f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall
survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement.

     2.9 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the
extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, sell or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than to donees or partners of the Holder
who agree to be similarly bound) for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective
date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided,
however, that:

               (a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such registration statement of the
Company which covers securities to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering
but not to Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement;

               (b) (i) all officers and directors of the Company then holding Common Stock of the Company
and (ii) all stockholders holding in the aggregate at least five percent (5%) of the total equity
of the Company, enter into similar agreements; and

               (c) any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions set forth in such agreement
or this Section 2.9 by the Company or the underwriters shall apply to all Holders on a pro rata
basis according to the total number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder.

For purposes of this Section 2.9, the term “Company” shall include any wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company into which the Company merges or consolidates. In order to enforce the foregoing
covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates
representing the shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer

12

 

instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities and such other shares of stock of each
Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction)
until the end of such period.

          2.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain
rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable
Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the
Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to:

               (a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first
registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to
the general public;

               (b) Use reasonable, diligent efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time
after it has, become subject to such reporting requirements); and

               (c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to the Holder forthwith
upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the
first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the
general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as a Holder
may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder
to sell any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act).

          2.11 Termination of the Company’s Obligations. The Company shall have no obligations
pursuant to this Section 2, and all registration rights set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4
shall terminate, on the earlier of: (a) five (5) years after the closing date of the Company’s
initial public offering; (b) consummation of a Deemed Liquidation (as defined in Section 3.7 of
Article IV of the Company’s Restated Certificate) or (c) the date on which all Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be sold
in a three (3) month period without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act.

          2.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective
holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 2.2 hereof, unless
under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities
in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of his securities will not reduce
the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included, or (b) to make a demand
registration which could result in such registration statement being declared effective prior to
the earlier of either of the dates set forth in subsection 2.2(a),

13

 

or within one hundred twenty (120) days of the effective date of any registration effected
pursuant to Section 2.2.

3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

          3.1 General. Each Holder (as defined in Section 2.1(d)) and any party to whom such
Holder’s rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement
(each such Holder or assignee being hereinafter referred to as a “Rights Holder”) has the
right of first refusal to purchase such Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined herein), of all
(or any part) of any “New Securities” (as defined in Section 3.2) that the Company may from time
to time issue after the date of this Agreement. A Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of
this right of first refusal is the ratio of (a) the number of Registrable Securities as to which
such Rights Holder is the Holder (and/or is deemed to be the Holder under Section 2.1(d)), to (b)
the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the sum of (1) the total number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding plus (2) the total number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company into which all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the
Company are then convertible. For purposes of this Agreement, “Preferred Stock” shall mean the
Company’s outstanding Series A Stock, Series A-1 Stock, Series A-2 Stock, Series B Stock, Series
B-2 Stock, Series C Stock and Series D Stock.

          3.2 New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock
of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such
Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become,
convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided,
however, that the term “New Securities” does not include:

               (a) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of
any series of Preferred Stock;

               (b) up to 3,601,551 shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted
or issued hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to,
the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock
option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved
by the Board of Directors (such number of shares to be calculated net of any repurchases of such
shares by the Company and net of any such expired or terminated options, warrants or rights and to
be proportionally adjusted to reflect any subsequent stock split, stock dividend or the like);
provided, that the reference to such number of shares of Common Stock set forth herein shall
automatically be deemed amended to mirror the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to
the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan if such plan is further amended by the Company’s
stockholders with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
such plan;

               (c) up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock (and/or options or
warrants therefor) issued or issuable to parties that are providing the Company with equipment
leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of indebtedness, cash price
reductions or similar transactions, under arrangements, in each case, approved by the Board of
Directors;

14

 

               (d) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another
corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially
all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction
or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other
corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation
or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; provided
that such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Company’s Board of
Directors;

               (e) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants
or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the date of the Restated
Certificate and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof;

               (f) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to stock split, stock dividend or the like;

               (g) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in a public offering where (1) prior to or in
connection with such public offering all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will be converted
to Common Stock or (2) the filing of the first registration statement related to such public
offering occurs prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the first shares of Series D
Stock were issued by the Company; and

               (h) 3,772 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock issued or issuable pursuant to a Preferred
Stock Purchase Warrant to be issued to Square One Bank or its affiliates or permitted transferees.

          3.3 Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of
New Securities, it shall give to each Rights Holder a written notice of its intention to issue New
Securities (the “Notice”), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general
terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities given in accordance with
Section 6.1 hereof. Each Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) days from the date such Notice is
effective, as determined pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof based upon the manner or method of notice,
to agree in writing to (i) purchase such Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for
the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the
Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such
Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share) and (ii) if electing to purchase such Pro Rata Shares of New
Securities, such Rights Holder’s intention to purchase any shares pursuant to any rights to
overallotment (as described below). If any Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such
twenty (20) day period to purchase such Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New
Securities (a “Nonpurchasing Holder”), then such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right
hereunder to purchase that part of his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities (and shall forfeit
any right to overallotment) that he, she or it did not so agree to purchase. Each Rights Holder
who has timely agreed to purchase his full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (a
“Purchasing Holder”) shall also have a right of overallotment such that such Purchasing Holder may
purchase a portion of any Nonpurchasing Holder’s unpurchased Pro Rata Share of such offering of
New Securities on a

15

 

pro rata basis according to the relative Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasing Rights Holders.
If a Purchasing Holder elects to exercise his overallotment rights, he shall so agree within the
same 20-day period from the date such Notice is effective.

               3.4 Failure to Exercise. In the event that the Rights Holders fail to exercise in
full the right of first refusal within such twenty (20) day period, then the Company shall have
ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Rights Holders’
rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not
materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s Notice to the
Rights Holders. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within
such ninety (90) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New
Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Rights Holders pursuant to
this Section 3.

               3.5 Termination. This right of first refusal shall terminate (a) immediately before
the closing of the first underwritten sale of Common Stock of the Company to the public pursuant
to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the Securities
Act, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock to, the public or (b) upon the consummation of a
Deemed Liquidation (as defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate).

     4. ASSIGNMENT AND AMENDMENT.

	 	4.1	 	Assignment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

               (a) Information Rights. The rights of an Investor under Section 1 hereof may be
assigned only to a party who acquires from an Investor (or an Investor’s permitted assigns) at
least that minimum number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or an equivalent number (on
an as-converted basis) of shares of Common Stock as described in Section 1.1.

               (b) Registration Rights; Refusal Rights. The registration rights of a Holder under
Section 2 hereof and the rights of first refusal of a Rights Holder under Section 3 hereof may be
assigned only to a party who acquires at least 50,000 shares of any series of Preferred Stock
issued under the Series A Agreement, the Series A-1 Agreement, the Series A-2 Agreement, the
Series B Agreement, the Series B-2 Agreement, the Series C Agreement or the Series D Agreement,
as applicable, and/or an equivalent number (on an as-converted basis) of Registrable Securities
issued upon conversion thereof; provided, however that the Company is given
written notice by the assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address
of the assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question
are being assigned; and provided further that any such assignee shall receive
such assigned rights subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without
limitation the provisions of this Section 4. The foregoing assignments of the registration
rights under Section 2 and rights of first refusal under Section 3 may be made without the
Company’s consent so long as the Company is provided written notice, and if the assignment is to
a partner, affiliate, stockholder, parent, child or spouse of the holder or to the holder’s
estate, such assignment may be made without obtaining the minimum number of shares of the
Registrable Securities noted above.

16

 

               (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other provision of any
other agreement among some or all of the parties hereto, Menlo Ventures X, L.P., Menlo
Entrepreneurs Fund X, L.P. and MMEF X, L.P. and any Menlo Ventures Party may, from time to time,
transfer all or any portion of the shares of capital stock of the Company that any such entity
owns to any affiliate of MV Management X, L.L.C. (each a “Menlo Ventures Party”); provided,
however, that the Menlo Ventures Party to whom shares are transferred must first agree, in
writing, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any Related Agreement (as defined in the
Series B Agreement and as each such Related Agreement may be amended from time to time).

          4.2 Amendment and Waiver of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided, any
provision of this Agreement may be amended and the obligations of the Company and the rights of
the Holders under this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and
either retroactively or prospectively), only upon the written consent of the Company and the
holders (and/or any of their permitted successors or assigns) of at least a majority of the
then-outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, however, that any amendment or waiver of
Section 2 of this Agreement only with the written consent of the Company and the holders of at
least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any
amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be binding upon each
Investor, each Holder, each permitted successor or assignee of such Investor or Holder and the
Company; provided, however, that any amendment or waiver of a provision of this Agreement that
applies to a particular Holder or Investor but does not affect all Holders or Investors in a
proportionately similar manner shall not be effected without the written consent of the Holder or
Investor affected in the dissimilar manner.

     5. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS.

          5.1 Matters Requiring Non-Employee Director Approval. So long as
the Investors who originally purchased shares (the
“Original Investors”) of Series A Stock, Series
A-1 Stock, Series A-2 Stock, Series B Stock, Series B-2 Stock, Series C Stock or Series D Stock
pursuant to the Series A Agreement, the Series A-1 Agreement, the Series A-2 Agreement, the Series
B Agreement, the Series B-2 Agreement, the Series C Agreement and the Series D Agreement,
respectively, continue to hold at least forty percent (40%) of the outstanding Series A Stock,
Series A-1 Stock, Series A-2 Stock, Series B Stock, Series B-2 Stock, Series C Stock and Series D
Stock, in the aggregate, the Company will not, without the approval of a majority of the members of
the Board of Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company:

               (a) make any loan or advance to, or own any stock or other securities of, any subsidiary or
other corporation, partnership, or employee or director of the Company;

               (b) guarantee any indebtedness except for trade accounts of the Company or any subsidiary
arising in the ordinary course of business;

               (c) make any investment other than investments in prime commercial paper, money market funds,
certificates of deposit in any United States bank having a net worth in excess of $100,000,000, or
obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States of America;

17

 

               (d) enter into or be a party to any transaction with any director, officer or employee of the
Company or any “associate” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of any
such person except transactions resulting in payments to or by the Company in an amount less than
$100,000 per year, or transactions made in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to
reasonable requirements of the Company’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms that are
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

               (e) hire, fire or change the compensation of the executive officers, including approving any
options that are components of such compensation arrangements; or

               (f) sell, transfer, license, pledge or encumber technology or intellectual property, other

          5.2 Stock Vesting. For so long as the any series of Preferred Stock remains
outstanding, all options, stock and stock equivalents issued by the Company to employees,
directors, consultants or other service providers of the Company after the Closing of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall vest as follows: twenty-five percent (25%) of the
shares one (1) year following the vesting commencement dates, with the remaining seventy-five
percent (75%) vesting in equal quarterly installments over the next three (3) years, unless the
Company’s Board of Directors approves different vesting terms (which approval must include the
consent of at least one director designated by the holders of Series A Stock, Series A-1 Stock and
Series A-2 Stock (together), the Series B Stock or the Series D Stock). The Company shall have a
repurchase option that provides that upon the termination of an employment, consulting or service
providing relationship, with or without cause, or upon a director’s departure from the Board of
Directors, the Company shall have the option to repurchase all unvested shares of restricted stock
held by such shareholder.

          5.3 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, all Common
Stock issuable from time to time upon such conversion.

          5.4 Key Person Insurance. Until the earlier of the date on which the Preferred Stock
is no longer outstanding or the applicable Founder (as defined herein) is no longer employed by the
Company, the Company shall maintain life insurance on David Friend and Jeffry Flowers (the
“Founders”) in an amount satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Company with proceeds of
such insurance policy payable to the Company.

          5.5 Business Insurance. The Company has, and shall maintain, general business
insurance policies in order to allow the Company to replace any of its properties that may be
destroyed or damaged, such insurance, as currently in place, is for amounts and with insurers that
are reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Company.

          5.6 Non-Disclosure and Proprietary Rights Agreements. The Company shall have each new
and existing employee, consultant and service provider with access to any confidential information
or trade secrets of the Company enter into a non-disclosure and proprietary rights assignment
agreement for so long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

18

 

          5.7 Board of Directors Matters. For so long as the holders of the Series A Stock, the
holders of the Series A-1 Stock and Series A-2 Stock (together), the holders of Series B Stock or
the holders of Series D Stock have the right to designate a member of the Board of Directors of the
Company, whether pursuant to contract or the Company’s Restated Certificate:

               (a) Meetings. The Board of Directors shall meet at least four times per year, unless
otherwise agreed by a vote of the majority of directors, and shall have informal conference calls
or meetings as needed between meeting dates. The Company shall reimburse all non-employee members
of the Board of Directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings
of the Board of Directors.

               (b) Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnity. The Company’s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, as in effect, or Bylaws shall provide (a) for the elimination of the
liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty to the maximum extent permitted by law and (b)
for indemnification of directors for acts on behalf of the Company.

               (c) Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Company has, and shall maintain,
directors’ and officers’ insurance, which is with a carrier and in an amount (not less than
$3,000,000) that is and shall remain reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors and the
holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock until the provisions of this Section 5 terminate. In
the event the Company merges with another entity and is not the surviving corporation, or transfers
all of its assets, proper provisions shall be made so that successors of the Company assume
Company’s obligations with respect to indemnification of the members of the Board of Directors.

          5.8 Termination. The covenants and other provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate
(a) immediately before the closing of the first underwritten sale of Common Stock of the Company to
the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC
under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock to, the public or (b) upon
the consummation of a Deemed Liquidation.
