or in part of any security for the Note, or (vii) Original Lender's or Lender's

Ownership Transfer (subject, in all events, to the terms and conditions of an
Ownership Transfer as set forth in the Non-Recourse Guaranty) and Borrowers
shall remain liable for all obligations hereunder whether arising prior to or
subsequent to any such Ownership Transfer and no such Ownership Transfer shall

resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral or without first having
recourse to the Note, the Instrument, or any Other Security Documents or any of
the Properties, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise; provided, however,

foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale under, the Instrument, or
exercising any other rights and remedies thereunder.

shall survive any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of

a power of sale, acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise and
(ii) were not the result of any act or negligence of Indemnitor or any of
Indemnitor's affiliates, agents or contractors, or which arose after an
Ownership Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Ownership Transfer shall
only affect the liability of EROP from and after the date of such Ownership
Transfer (subject, in all events, to the terms and conditions of an Ownership
Transfer as set forth in the Non-Recourse Guaranty) and Borrowers shall remain
liable for all obligations hereunder whether arising prior to or subsequent to
any such Ownership Transfer and no such Ownership Transfer shall have any affect
on Borrower's continued liability hereunder.

permitted by law from the earlier to occur of (i) the date payment is made or
loss or damage is sustained by Lender or (ii) the date Indemnitor's liability
shall arise pursuant to paragraph 3(b) hereof, until paid.

      12. Indemnitor hereby waives (i) any right or claim of right to cause a
marshalling of Indemnitor's assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any of
the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against
Indemnitor; (ii) and relinquishes all rights and remedies

                                        5

rights of subrogation which Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity
provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any
such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever
which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted
enforcement of such subrogation rights including, without limitation, any claim
that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Lender; (iii) the
right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Lender; (iv)
trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by Indemnitor or Lender or in
any counterclaim asserted by Lender against Indemnitor or in any matter
whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement; (v)

hereon; (vi) presentment for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of
nonpayment or failure to perform or observe, or other proof, or notice or
demand; and (vii) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations
hereunder and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose.

institution of legal action against third-parties, necessary or appropriate to
obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such persons responsible for
the presence of any Hazardous Materials or Asbestos at, in, on, under or near
any of the Properties or otherwise obligated by law to bear the cost. Lender
shall be and hereby is subrogated to all of Indemnitor's rights now or hereafter
in such claims.

a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any
agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which

operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Indemnitor, or in any
material impairment of the right or ability of Indemnitor to carry on its
business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the
part of Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this
Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the

impair materially the ability of Indemnitor to perform under the terms of this
Agreement;

discharge or termination is sought.

Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of
Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must
be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000
or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c),
each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or
a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written)
shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one
Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a

27

 

Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued,
(iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to
specify a Type of a Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted
to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the
last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month.

     (b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice
of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify
each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans as described in the
preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent
either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount
of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, there
are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, shall be made available to the
Borrower as provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of
a Default, no Loans may be requested as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required
Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar
Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other
and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 5 Interest Periods in
effect with respect to Revolving Loans, 5 Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Tranche B
Term Loan and 2 Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Tranche C Term Loan.

     2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

     (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in
reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from
time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit in Dollars for the account of the
Borrower or any of its

28

 

Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in
accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit;
and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the
account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided
that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit,
(x) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments,
(y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall
not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower
for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be
fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn
upon and reimbursed. Furthermore, each Lender with a Revolving Commitment acknowledges and
confirms that it has a participation interest in the liability of the L/C Issuer under the
Existing Letter of Credit in a percentage equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving
Loans. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of the Existing Letter of
Credit, and each Lender’s obligations in connection therewith, shall be governed by the
terms of this Agreement.

     (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or
last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

     (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry
date.

     (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if:

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

     (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
the L/C Issuer applicable to borrowers generally;

     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer,
such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000;

29

 

     (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than
Dollars; or

     (E) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under Section 2.03(c)
exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C
Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender
to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

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

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

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5)
Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance
date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial
issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G)
such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for
an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall
specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be
amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the
nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may
reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested
Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or
the Administrative Agent may require.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent

30

 

has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the
L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer
has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at
least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article
V shall not be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C
Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case
may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C
Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

     (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that
has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to
prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof
not later than a specified number of days prior to the then effective expiration date (the
“Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at
the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the
Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such
extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be
deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of
such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any
such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would
have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of
Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have
elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is
not then satisfied, and in each case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

     (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter
of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of drawing
under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under
a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse
the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage

31

 

thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section
5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect
to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing;
provided that the lack of such prompt confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

     (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the
Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by
the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section
2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a
Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot
be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the
L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so
refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

     (iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be
solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making
of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the

32

 

date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A
certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent)
with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C
Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

     (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;

     (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a

33

 

trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law; or

     (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document
or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the
L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower
which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or
the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by
the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit unless the L/C Issuer is prevented or prohibited from so paying as
a result of any order or directive of any court or other Governmental Authority. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their
face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C
Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing
has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.04 and
9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.
For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.04 and

34

 

Section 9.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as
collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are
hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the
Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all
proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing
deposit accounts at Bank of America.

     (h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of
Credit.

     (i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the
“Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate
times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For
purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount
of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of
Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the
first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any
quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while
any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

     (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit in an amount specified in the Fee Letter computed on the daily maximum amount
available to be drawn thereunder (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such
Letter of Credit), due and payable quarterly in arrears on the Business Day immediately following
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date
and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its
own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other
standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in
effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are
nonrefundable.

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

     (l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of
Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account
of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and

     2.04 Swing Line Loans.

     (a) Swing Line Facility. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower
in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity
as a Lender of Revolving Loans, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment;
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the
proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this
Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section
2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing
Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal
to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line
Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify
(i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a
Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line
Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing of Swing Line Loans (A) directing
the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in
the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing
date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to
the Borrower.

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably requests and authorizes the Swing Line
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then

36

 

outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed
to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the
principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in Section
5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice) and provided that, after giving effect
to such Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender
shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan
Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account
of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii),
each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to
the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to
the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such purchase or funding of
risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such
payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time

37

 

during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those
received by the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent
will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender
funds its Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan,
interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line
Lender.

     (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

     2.05 Prepayments.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments of Loans.

     (i) Revolving Loans and Term Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice from the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Revolving Loans, the Tranche B Term Loan and the Tranche C Term Loan in whole or in part

Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
(B) any such prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire
principal amount thereof then outstanding); (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or,
if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding) and (D) any prepayment of the
Term Loans shall be applied first to the Tranche C Term Loan and after the Tranche C Term
Loan has been paid in full, to the Tranche B Term Loan (ratably to the remaining principal
amortization payments thereof). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be
due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be
applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages.

     (ii) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily

later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in
a minimum principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof
(or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall
specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

     (i) Revolving Commitments.

     (A) If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately
prepay Revolving Loans and/or the Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the
L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(i) unless after the
prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans the Total
Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.

     (B) If any Revolving Loans are used to finance in part the Merger, the Borrower
shall immediately prepay such Revolving Loans with any cash or cash equivalents of
the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

     (B) In the event there shall occur any Involuntary Disposition, the Borrower
shall promptly (and in any event within ten days) prepay the Term Loans as

of such Involuntary Disposition to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not used to
restore or repair the applicable Property within 180 days of such Involuntary
Disposition. Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii)(B) shall be applied as set
forth in clause (vii) below.

     (iii) Extraordinary Receipts. Promptly (and in any event within ten days) upon
receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Extraordinary

prepayment pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (vii)
below.

     (iv) Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Term

39

 

provided in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any
prepayment pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be applied as set forth in clause (vii) below.

     (v) Equity Issuances. Immediately upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Net Cash Proceeds received
from any Equity Issuance by the Borrower shall be used by the Borrower to prepay the Second
Lien Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.03(b) of the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement as
in effect as of the date hereof, unless the Second Lien Lenders waive or otherwise not
require such mandatory prepayment in which case 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds (or such lesser
amount not applied to the Second Lien Term Loan as a result of such waiver) from such Equity
Issuance shall be used by the Borrower to prepay the Term Loan pursuant to this clause (v).

     (vi) Excess Cash Flow. Commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31,
2006 and for each fiscal year ending thereafter, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans on

     2.06 Termination or Reduction of Aggregate Revolving Commitments.

     The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments to an
amount not less than the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or
reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction
of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit
exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of
any such notice of termination or reduction of

40

 

the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments
shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage.
All fees accrued with respect thereto until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

     (d) Tranche C Term Loan. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date
the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche C Term Loan, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to
Section 9.02.

     2.08 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Rate, (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any
Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

     2.09 Fees.

     In addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) of Section 2.03, the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with
its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Rate
times (b) the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the
sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C
Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including
at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall
be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity
Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in
the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by
the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such

42

 

Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of clarification, Swing Line Loans shall not be
considered outstanding for purposes of determining the unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments.

     2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.

     All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank of
America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of
a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan
for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for
the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one
day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     2.11 Evidence of Debt.

     (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.
Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, be in the form of Exhibit
2.10(a)(i) (a “Revolving Note”), (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, be in the form
of Exhibit 2.10(a)(ii) (a “Swing Line Note”), (iii) in the case of the Tranche B
Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit 2.10(a)(iii) (a “Tranche B Term Loan Note”)
and (iv) in the case of the Tranche C Term Loan, be in the form of Exhibit 2.10(a)(iv) (a
“Tranche C Term Loan Note”). Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect
thereto.

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

     2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

     (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other

43

 

applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment to
be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on
the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing
interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
Section 2.02 (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender
has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section
2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and
(B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such
period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent.

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

     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

     (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing

44

 

provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest.

     (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

     (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.

     2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s
receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and
accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and
subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

     (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and

     (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof
(as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

     Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

45

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if
any Loan Party shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any
Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan
Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 Business Days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid
by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

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

     (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements.

46

 

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident
for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior
to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such
Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

     (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility
for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

     (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

     (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that
such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN, or

     (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from
or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C
Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party
has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to
such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
reasonably confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

     3.02 Illegality.

     If any Lender determines that any applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on
the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative
Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base
Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of
such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of

47

 

the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

     If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not
being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all
Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     3.04 Increased Costs.

     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
reflected in the Eurodollar Rate or the L/C Issuer;

     (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

     (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate
in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

48

 

     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section,
describing the circumstances giving rise to the request for reimbursement and delivered to the
Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

     (e) Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such
Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of
or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurodollar Liabilities”),
additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual
costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good
faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on
which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such
Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Compensation for Losses.

     Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any actual
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

49

 

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether
voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

     (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on
the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

     (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor as a result of:

     (i) a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 11.13; or

     (ii) an assignment by Bank of America pursuant to Section 11.06(b) as
part of the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans during the 180-day
period immediately following the Closing Date;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it
to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in
connection with the foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this
Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by
it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and
for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

     3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender is unable to make Loans at the Eurodollar Rate as contemplated in Section 3.02, the
Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

50

 

     3.07 Survival.

     All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

GUARANTY

     4.01 The Guaranty.

     Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate
of a Lender that enters into a Swap Contract or a Treasury Management Agreement with a Loan Party,
and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the
prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in
accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the
Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment,
by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly
and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly
paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as
a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or
renewal.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, the obligations of each Guarantor
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to
the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor
Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

     4.02 Obligations Unconditional.

     The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute
and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability
of any of the Loan Documents, Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange
of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being
the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such
Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as
the Obligations (other than any indemnity obligations that, by their terms, survive the termination
of this Agreement) have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of
any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

     (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;

51

 

     (b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents,
any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any Loan Party and any Lender, or
any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan
Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements shall be done or
omitted;

     (c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under
any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or Treasury Management Agreement between any
Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or
instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury
Management Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or
any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or
otherwise dealt with;

     (d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Collateral Agent, the Control Agent or any
Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be
perfected; or

     (e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including,
without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be
subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any
Guarantor).

     With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person
under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract or any Treasury Management Agreement between any
Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Loan Documents, such Swap Contracts or such Treasury Management Agreements, or
against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

     4.03 Reinstatement.

     The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in
respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the
Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise,
and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand
for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with
such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against
any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar
payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

     4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.

     Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security
for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section
4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

     4.05 Remedies.

     The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations
may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be
deemed to have become

52

 

automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for
purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and
payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations
being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and
payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes
of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are
secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise
their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

     4.06 Rights of Contribution.

     The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each
Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable
law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights
of contribution until all Obligations (other than any indemnity obligations that, by their terms,
survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and the Commitments have
terminated.

     4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

     The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a
continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

ARTICLE V

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

     5.01 Conditions of Initial Credit Extension.

     The obligation of the L/C Issuer and each Lender to make its initial Credit Extension
hereunder is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

     (a) Loan Documents. Receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed
counterparts of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each properly executed by a
Responsible Officer of the signing Loan Party and, in the case of this Agreement, by each
Lender.

82

 

satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable.

     10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with
the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

     10.05 Delegation of Duties.

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

     10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a
bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no
qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until
such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in
this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,

83

 

privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).
The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After
the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of
such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent
was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

     10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

     Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

     10.08 No Other Duties; Etc.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers,
syndication agents, documentation agents or co-agents shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity,
as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer
hereunder.

     10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

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

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations (other than
obligations under Swap Contracts or Treasury Management Agreements to which the

84

 

Administrative Agent is not a party) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the
L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.08 and
11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the L/C Issuer and the
Collateral Agent to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Collateral Agent, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08
and 11.04.

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

     10.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

     The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Control Agent, as applicable, at its option and in its discretion,

     (a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent or
the Control Agent, as applicable, under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of
Credit, (ii) that is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any
Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary

ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

writing the Collateral Agent’s or Control Agent’s, as applicable, authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or the Administrative
Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant
to this Section 10.10.

litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any

other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final
and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the

     To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C

the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of

the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of
this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to
it); provided that

91

 

     (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding
thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance
of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as
of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of Revolving Commitments,
and shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of the Tranche B Term Loan and the
Tranche C Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from
members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and
members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of
determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

     (ii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender unless the Person that is the proposed
assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as
an Eligible Assignee); and

     (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the
amount, if any, required as set forth in Schedule 11.06, and the Eligible
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a
consent for a material or substantive change to the

92

 

Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy
of the Register.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i)
such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in
clauses (i) through (vii) of the Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. Subject
to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

     (e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, 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 pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.

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

     (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon thirty days’
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice
to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, the

93

 

Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to
appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of
Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C
Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If
Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section
2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (1) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (2) the successor L/C
Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding
at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to
effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that
Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives and to
any direct or indirect contractual counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s professional
advisor) under any Swap Contract relating to Loans outstanding under this Agreement (it
being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to
have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to a Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Confidential Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Borrower.

     For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information
received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any
of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis
prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of
information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same

94

 

degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the
Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding
the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public
information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

     11.08 Set-off.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after
obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer
and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates
may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

     11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

     11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

     This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all
previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have
received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the

95

 

signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

     11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

     All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or
unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

     11.12 Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     11.13 Replacement of Lenders.

     If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender is unable to make Loans at the
Eurodollar Rate as contemplated by Section 3.02 or (iv) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect
to any Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section
11.01 but requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby
(as applicable) and, or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that:

     (a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 11.06(b);

     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any
amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

96

 

     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

     (e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure
to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan
Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such
Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair
the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of
such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless
be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and
Assumption.

     A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

     11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

     (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE
COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING

ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES
THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW
YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE
CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY
RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY
OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN

97

 

PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE
OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT
THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

     11.15 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

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

     11.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

     Each
Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the
Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act.
