among the Parent, the Borrower, such Lenders, certain other financial institutions, the Agent and
the other parties thereto; and

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders desire to amend and

credit subfacility, on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit
Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Article I. Definitions

Section 1.1. Definitions.

In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms shall have the following
meanings for the purposes of this Agreement:

“Accession Agreement” means an Accession Agreement substantially in the form of Annex I to the
Guaranty.

“Accommodation Subsidiary” has the meaning given that term in Section 4.1.(d).

“Additional Costs” has the meaning given that term in Section 5.1.(b).

“Adjusted EBITDA” means, for any given period, (a) the EBITDA of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis for such period, minus (b) FF&E Reserves
for such period.

 

1

 

“Adjusted Funds From Operations” means, with respect to a Person and for a given period,
(a) net income (loss) of such Person determined on a consolidated basis for such period
minus (or plus) (b) gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property
during such period plus (c) depreciation with respect to such Person’s real estate assets
and amortization of such Person for such period, all after adjustment for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. The following shall be excluded from Adjusted Funds From
Operations (but only to the extent otherwise included above): (i) Interest Expense; (ii) income
tax expense; (iii) extraordinary or non-recurring gains and losses; (iv) closing costs expensed
which are directly attributable to the acquisition of Property; (v) severance costs; and (vi) other
non-cash charges including, without limitation, impairment charges (other than non-cash charges
that constitute an accrual of a reserve for future cash payments). Adjustments for Unconsolidated
Affiliates will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

“Adjusted NOI” means, for any Property and for any period (or if no applicable period is
stated, the period of twelve consecutive fiscal months then ended), Net Operating Income for such
Property for such period minus the greater of (a) the actual amount of franchise fees paid with
respect to such Property during such period and (b) an imputed franchise fee in the amount of four
percent (4.0%) of the gross revenues for such Property for such period; provided however, for
purposes of this definition, no imputed franchise fee shall be deducted from Net Operating Income
with respect to any Property that is not subject to a franchise agreement. If a Property has not
continuously operated the immediately preceding period of twelve consecutive months, then the
Adjusted NOI of such Property shall be calculated by annualizing the historical Net Operating
Income of such Property for the most recently ending period for which it has been in continuous
operation, determined on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

“Adjusted Total Asset Value” means Total Asset Value determined exclusive of assets that are
owned by Excluded Subsidiaries, Foreign Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates.

“Administrative Agent” means Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as contractual
representative of the Lenders under this Agreement, or any successor Administrative Agent appointed
pursuant to Section 12.8.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means the Administrative Questionnaire completed by each Lender
and delivered to the Administrative Agent in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent to the
Lenders from time to time.

“Affected Lender” has the meaning given that term in Section 5.8.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common
Control with the Person specified. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be
deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

“Agreement Date” means the date as of which this Agreement is dated.

“Applicable Law” means all international, foreign, federal, state and local statutes,
treaties, rules, guidelines, regulations, ordinances, codes, executive orders, and administrative
or judicial precedents or authorities, including the interpretation or administration thereof by
any Governmental Authority charged with the enforcement, interpretation or administration thereof,
and all applicable
administrative orders, directed duties, requests, licenses, authorizations and permits of, and
agreements with, any Governmental Authority.

“Applicable Margin” means the percentage rate set forth below corresponding to the ratio of
Total Indebtedness to Total Asset Value as determined in accordance with Section 10.1.(a) in effect
at such time:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Ratio of Total	 	 	 
	 	 	Indebtedness to Total	 	 	 
	Level	 	Asset Value	 	Applicable Margin	 
	1
	 	Less than or equal to 0.35 to 1.00	 	 	2.75	%
	2
	 	Greater than 0.35 to 1.00 but less
than 0.45 to 1.00	 	 	3.00	%
	3
	 	Greater than or equal to 0.45
to 1.00 but less than 0.50 to 1.00	 	 	3.25	%
	4
	 	Greater than or equal to 0.50 to
1.00 but less than 0.55 to 1.00	 	 	3.50	%
	5
	 	Greater than or equal to 0.55 to 1.00	 	 	3.75	%

The Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time, based on
the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Asset Value as set forth in the Compliance Certificate
most recently delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3. Any adjustment to the Applicable
Margin shall be effective as of the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month
during which the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent the applicable Compliance
Certificate pursuant to Section 9.3. If the Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate
pursuant to Section 9.3., the Applicable Margin shall equal the percentage corresponding to Level 5
until the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month that the required
Compliance Certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period from the
Effective Date through but excluding the date on which the Administrative Agent first determines
the Applicable Margin for Loans as set forth above, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based
on Level 2. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin shall be adjusted from time to time as set forth in
this definition. The provisions of this definition shall be subject to Section 2.3.(c).

“Appraisal” means, with respect to any Property, an M.A.I. appraisal (reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent as to form, substance and appraisal date), prepared by a professional
appraiser reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and determining the “as is” market
value of such Property as between a willing buyer and a willing seller.

“Appraised Value” means, with respect to any Property, (a) the “as is” market value of such

Unless otherwise indicated, all accounting terms, ratios and measurements shall be interpreted
or determined in accordance with GAAP; provided that, if at any time any change in GAAP would
affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and
either the Borrower or the Requisite Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to
preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of
the Requisite Lenders); provided further that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement
shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the
Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other
documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a
reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving
effect to such change in GAAP. References in this Agreement to “Sections”, “Articles”, “Exhibits”
and “Schedules” are to sections, articles, exhibits and schedules herein and hereto unless
otherwise
indicated. References in this Agreement to any document, instrument or agreement (a) shall include
all exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, (b) shall include all documents, instruments
or agreements issued or executed in replacement thereof, to the extent permitted hereby and
(c) shall mean such document, instrument or agreement, or replacement or predecessor thereto, as
amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time to the extent not
prohibited hereby and in effect at any given time. Wherever from the context it appears

Article II. Credit Facility

Section 2.1. Loans.

(a) Making of Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
including without limitation, Section 2.13., each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make
Loans to the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the
Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not
exceeding, such Lender’s Commitment. Each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing
and Continuation under Section 2.7. of, and each Conversion under Section 2.8. of Base Rate Loans
into, LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000
in excess of that amount. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to
Section 2.13., a borrowing of Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments.
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower

27

 

(b) Requests for Loans. Not later than 9:00 a.m. Pacific time at least one Business
Day prior to a borrowing of Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 9:00 a.m.
Pacific time at least three Business Days prior to a borrowing of Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of
Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be borrowed, the date such
Loans are to be
borrowed (which must be a Business Day), a general description of the use of the proceeds of such
Loans, the Type of the requested Loans, and if such Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial
Interest Period for such Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and
binding on the Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may (without
specifying whether a Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative
Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request or
as soon as possible thereafter.

(c) Funding of Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the
immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Loan to be made by such
Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately
available funds not later than 9:00 a.m. Pacific time on the date of such proposed Loans. Subject
to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make
available to the Borrower in the account specified in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form, not
later than 12:00 noon Pacific time on the date of the requested borrowing of Loans, the proceeds of
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders. With respect to Loans to be made after
the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that
such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Loan to be made by such Lender in
connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the
proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such
event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such
Loan, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on
demand the amount of such Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) 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 (ii) 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 the amount of such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or 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 to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Loan, the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the 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 available the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender.

 

28

 

Section 2.2. Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including without limitation, Section 2.13., the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to
issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to,
but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date, one or more standby letters of
credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time
outstanding not to exceed
$30,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof
(the “L/C Commitment Amount”).

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and
conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject
to approval by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may
(i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is 30 days prior to the
Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year;
provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension
of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Issuing Bank but in no
event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit
beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date; provided, further, that a
Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an
automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the date
that is 30 days prior to the Termination Date so long as the Borrower delivers to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank no later than 30 days prior to the
Termination Date cash collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. The initial
Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank).

(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Issuing
Bank and the Administrative Agent written notice at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested
date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed
terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be
supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of
Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The
Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby
letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the Issuing Bank. Provided
the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered
such application and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including the Issuing Bank’s approval of the form of the
requested Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2.(b) and the satisfaction of any applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of
Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no
event prior to the date 5 Business Days following the date after which the Issuing Bank has
received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. The Issuing Bank
shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict
with, or cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any
Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of
Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless
the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall
deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the
date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent
with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

 

29

 

(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank from the beneficiary
of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the Issuing
Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to
such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank’s failure to
give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the
applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment
under such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing
Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of
any kind (other than notice as provided in this subsection). Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of
any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each
Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately
following subsection (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the
immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the
Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions
of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which the Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI.
would permit the making of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of
Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation
and the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Loan to be
made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific time and (ii) if such
conditions would not permit the making of Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section
shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply
to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank
of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the
Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an
amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the
Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then
outstanding.

 

30

 

(g) Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of
Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under
Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the
Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with
examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has
not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all
risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective
beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
none of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and
the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by,
(i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing
honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any 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; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile,
electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in
interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds
thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of
any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect,
impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s rights or
powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Loan
made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances
whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit
Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may
have at any time against the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary
of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect
or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect
whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or
of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Issuing Bank under
any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or
circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or
equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.10., but not in limitation of the
Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a
Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Loan made pursuant to the second
sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability
incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender
in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable judgment. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section shall affect any
rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

 

31

 

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or
other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under
this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the
request therefor be made through the Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other
modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby
would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended,
supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders (or all of the
Lenders if required by Section 13.7.) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such
amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under
the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).

(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the
Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably
and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the
liability of the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall
be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition,
upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following
subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal
to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Bank by the Borrower in
respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such
Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to the second
and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(c)).

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds
in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Issuing
Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower
pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any
drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund,
whether as a Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of
such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of the immediately preceding
subsection (e) is received by a Lender not later than 9:00 a.m. Pacific time, then such Lender
shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific
time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the next succeeding Business Day.
Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection,
and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the Issuing Bank, shall
be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance
whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment
under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
(iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in
Section 11.1.(f) or (g) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

 

32

 

(k) Information to Lenders. Periodically, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, who shall promptly deliver the same to each Lender and the Borrower, a notice
describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the
request of any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information
reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other
than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing Bank shall have no duty to notify the Lenders
regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure
of the Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender
from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

(l) Defaulting Lenders. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent at any time while a
Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, within one Business Day of such demand,
cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion in
an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s or Potential Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage
of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding.

Section 2.3. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the
period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan
shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in
effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the
Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such
Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder
or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without
limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal
amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month,
commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any
date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity,
due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from
time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

 

33

 

(c) Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties
understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein
may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or
other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Parent or the Borrower (the
“Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was
incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of
earnings by the Parent or the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent,
and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should
have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees
for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and
fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees
due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within 5 Business Days of receipt
of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall
survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the
Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.4. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than 5 different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same
time.

Section 2.5. Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but
unpaid interest on, the Loans on the Termination Date.

Section 2.6. Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time
without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least 2 Business
Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan. Each voluntary partial prepayment of
Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in
excess thereof.

 

34

 

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of
all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately
upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding
Commitments (or if the Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Loans
and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess.

(ii) Maximum Loan Availability Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter
of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the Maximum Loan Availability, the Borrower shall within 5
Business Days of a Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower obtaining knowledge of
the occurrence of any such excess either (i) pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Lenders then holding Commitments (or if the Commitments have been
terminated, then holding outstanding Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount
of such excess or (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent for prompt distribution to each
Lender notice of the Borrower’s intent to eliminate such excess by adding one or more
Properties as Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties in accordance with the final paragraph
of Section 4.1.(b) within 10 Business Days of such Responsible Officer obtaining knowledge
of such excess. If such excess is not eliminated in accordance with this subsection
(b)(ii), then the entire outstanding principal balance of all Loans, together with all
accrued interest thereon, and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Liabilities for
deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, shall be immediately due and payable
in full.

(iii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding
subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding
on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and
if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be
deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement
Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of
this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall
pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.

Section 2.7. Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with
respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan
by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be
in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that
amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of
the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made
by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than
9:00 a.m. Pacific time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such
notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar
form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of
such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and
(c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as
is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of
Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after
receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the
proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest
Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the
last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period
of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefore, Convert into a Base Rate
Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.8. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with
any of the terms of such Section.

 

35

 

Section 2.8. Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to
the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of
communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type;
provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of
Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Each
such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. Pacific time 3 Business Days
prior to the date of any proposed Conversion. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the
restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or
other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the
requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such
Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if
such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.
Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.9. Notes.

(a) Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also
be evidenced by a Note, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the
amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b) Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods
(if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account
of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be
binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender
to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan
Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such records of a Lender and the statements of
accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8., in the absence of
manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 3.8. shall be controlling.

(c) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of
(i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of
indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense
execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note.

 

36

 

Section 2.10. Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the
Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities) at any time and from time to time without penalty or
premium upon not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each
such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount
of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Commitments shall not be
less that $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount in the
aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent (“Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, however, the Borrower may not
reduce the aggregate amount of the Commitments below $100,000,000 unless the Borrower is
terminating the
Commitments in full. Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Commitment reduction. The
Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or
reinstated. The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees on the Loans accrued to the date of such
reduction or termination of the Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Lender in accordance
with Section 5.4. of this Agreement.

Section 2.11. Extension of Termination Date.

(a) Generally. The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the
Termination Date by one year. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 60 days but not more than 120 days prior to the
current Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon
receipt thereof. Not later than the date that is 15 days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt
of the Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower if the Requisite
Lenders have determined to condition the extension of the Termination Date on an increase in the
Capitalization Rate to a percentage not to exceed 9.0%, and if so, what the new Capitalization Rate
to become effective on the current Termination Date would be. Any new Capitalization Rate shall be
the rate determined by the Requisite Lenders on the basis of then current market conditions and
data. If the Requisite Lenders determine to condition the extension of the Termination Date on an
increase in the Capitalization Rate, then not later than the date that is 30 days prior to the
current Termination Date (the “Extension Notification Date”), the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of its decision to extend or not to extend the Termination Date by
one year. If the Borrower fails to provide such written notification on or prior to the Extension
Notification Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to extend the Termination Date by
one year. If the Borrower elects, or is deemed to have elected, to extend the Termination Date,
then subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended
for one year effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and
payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (y): (x) immediately prior to such extension
and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and
(ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan
Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made
on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly
relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been
true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in
factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents and (y) the Borrower shall have paid
the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(d). At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such
extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower
certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (x)(i) and (x)(ii).

 

37

 

Section 2.12. Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Commitment Termination.

If on the date the Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by
reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit
outstanding hereunder with respect to which the Borrower has not complied with the conditions set
forth in the second proviso of the second sentence of Section 2.2.(b), the Borrower shall, on such
date, pay to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, an amount of money sufficient to cause the balance of available funds on deposit in
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to equal the Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit for
deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

Section 2.13. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall
be required to make a Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and
no reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10. shall take effect, if immediately after
the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the
Commitments:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at
such time; or

(b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with aggregate amount of
all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the Maximum Loan Availability at such time.

Section 2.14. Increase in Commitments.

The Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the
Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be
irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such
increases the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed $275,000,000. Each such
increase in the Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral
multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation
with and with the consent of the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such
increase in the Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or
other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect
to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Commitments among such existing Lenders
and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender

 

38

 

shall be
obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Commitment or provide a new Commitment, and any new
Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an
Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is
increasing its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the
case of an existing Lender, increases its Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from
the other Lenders its Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ relative
Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Loans, by
making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in immediately
available funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount
of such Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments
previously made by the other Lenders under Section 2.2.(j) that have not been repaid, plus
(C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal
amount of such Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such
Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Loans. Effecting the increase
of the Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no
Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (y) the
representations and warranties made or
deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party
is a party shall be true and accurate in all material respects on the effective date of such
increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to
an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and
accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not
prohibited hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to
the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all
corporate, partnership or other necessary action taken by the Parent and the Borrower to authorize
such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each
Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Parent, the
Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering
such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) new Notes executed by
the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to
any existing Lenders increasing their Commitments, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment at the
time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments.
In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section
2.14. any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Section 2.15. Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a) Generally. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse
the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan
Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts
designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any
transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or (ii) made in the Borrower’s
name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer
instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and
acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or
identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire of funds transfer
even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than
named by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take
any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent
takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or
requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the
Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the
Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform
these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement
procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of
any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer
requests within 14 days after the Administrative Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such
transfer.

 

39

 

(b) Funds Transfer. The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine
the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Administrative
Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the
terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to
violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise
cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

(c) Limitation of Liability. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender shall be liable to the Parent, the Borrower or any other party for (i) errors, acts or
failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or
clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or
transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil
disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in
communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s, Issuing
Bank’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages,
whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the
likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this
Agreement.

Article III. Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all
payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Principal
Office, not later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the date on which such payment shall become due
(each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each
payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the
amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.

 

40

 

Each payment
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note
shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the
wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the
account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to
the Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring
instructions provided by the Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the
account of the Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to
such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (i) by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business
Day such funds are received by the Administrative Agent, if such amounts are received by 11:00 a.m.
Pacific time on such date or (ii) by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day following the date
such funds are received by the Administrative Agent, if such amounts are received after 11:00 a.m.
Pacific time on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until
paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due
date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day
which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and
interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of
such extension.

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

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under
Section 2.1.(a) and 2.2.(e) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the Fees under
Sections 3.5.(a), 3.5.(b), the first sentence of 3.5.(c) and 3.5.(d) shall be made for the account
of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under
Section 2.10. shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to
the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans
shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of the Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9., if immediately
prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Loans the outstanding principal amount
of the Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the
Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders,
pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the
respective Lenders; (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type
(other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders,
according to the amounts of their respective Loans and the then current Interest Period for each
Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; and (e) the Lenders’
participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.2.,
shall be in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.

 

41

 

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any of its Loans under
this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar
right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by
the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than a payment in respect of Specified
Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment
should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as
applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if
and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other
Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share
the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such
Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2.
or Section 11.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments
among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
(or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all
rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.
Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the
right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect
to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to
perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the
failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by
it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform
any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5. Fees.

(a) Closing Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

42

 

(b) Unused Facility Fees. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding
the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the daily amount by which the aggregate amount
of the Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Loans and Letter of
Credit Liabilities set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate set
forth below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Amount by Which Commitments Exceed Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities	 	Unused Fee	 
	$0 to and including an amount equal to 50% of the
aggregate amount of Commitments
	 	0.40% per annum
	Greater than an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate
amount of Commitments
	 	0.50% per annum

Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of
each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Termination Date
or any earlier date of termination of the Commitments or reduction of the Commitments to zero.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin for LIBOR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the
period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the
date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of
Credit is drawn in full. In addition to such fees, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank
solely for its own account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to fifteen one
hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided,
however, in no event shall the aggregate amount of such fee in respect of any Letter of
Credit be less than $500. The fees provided for in this subsection shall be nonrefundable and
payable, in the case of the fee provided for in the first sentence, in arrears (i) quarterly on the
first day of January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Termination Date, (iii) on the date the
Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of
the Administrative Agent and in the case of the fee provided for in the second sentence, at the
time of issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank
from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily
charged or incurred by the Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any other transaction relating
thereto.

(d) Credit Extension Fee. If the Termination Date is being extended in accordance
with Section 2.11., the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment
(whether or not utilized). Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the effective date of such
extension.

(e) Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and
other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letter and as may be otherwise agreed
to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.6. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any
other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual
number of days elapsed.

 

43

 

Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations
exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by
the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be
credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in
writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive,
directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully
paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the
only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and
shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.3.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees,
unused facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late
charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement
for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for
damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are charges made to
compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services
and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed
to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be
fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.8. Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower quarterly with a statement of Loans,
accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon
the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a
statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations
hereunder.

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Generally. If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting
Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or
waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to direct any action or
inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the
Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended while such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not permit an increase in such Lender’s Commitment or an
extension of the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender, in
each case, without such Lender’s consent. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed
to make timely payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to the
Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), then the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such
delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on
which the

 

44

 

payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in
satisfaction of the defaulted
payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such
Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any
related interest. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations
hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of
the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to
any other rights and remedies the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.

(b) Treatment of Payments. Until the Defaulting Lender Excess of a Defaulting Lender
has been reduced to zero, any payment of the principal of the Loans owing to the Defaulting Lender
shall, unless the Requisite Lenders agree otherwise, be applied to the outstanding principal
balance of the Loans of the applicable Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders. Any other amount
paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by
the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until such Defaulting Lender
has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (f) below or the termination of
the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan
Documents, at which time such amounts will be applied by the Administrative Agent to the making of
payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; second, if
determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank, held in such account as
cash collateral for such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit
Liabilities then outstanding; third, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which the
such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of
the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement. If such Lender is still a
Defaulting Lender and any amounts remain in such account on the date that the Commitments are
terminated and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
paid in full, at which time such amounts will be applied by the Administrative Agent to the making
of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank under
this Agreement; second, to the payment of interest then due and payable to the Lenders
hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such
interest then due and payable to them; third, to the payment of Fees then due and payable
to the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of
such Fees then due and payable to them; fourth, to pay principal of all Loans,
Reimbursement Obligations and other Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and payable to the
Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then
due and payable to them; fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due
and payable to the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders; and sixth, after the termination
of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts
owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct.

 

45

 

(c) Fees. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any Fee
payable to the Lenders under Sections 3.5.(b) and 3.5.(c), and during such period the Borrower
shall not be required to pay, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive, any such
Fees otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under such Sections. In addition, if at the time
a Fee is payable under Section 3.5.(d) there is a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, then such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Fee payable to the
Lenders under Section 3.5.(d); provided, however, if such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender the Fee that would have otherwise been
payable to such Lender under such Section had it not been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Borrowing Requests. While any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential
Defaulting Lender, the Borrower authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank
(which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in such Person’s
discretion, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1. in such amounts and at such times as may
be required to (i) reimburse any Reimbursement Obligation that has become due and payable, or
(ii) cash collateralize the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit
in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such
Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letters of Credit.

(e) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent,
such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its
Commitment, to an Eligible Assignee (at such amount to be agreed to by the Borrower, the Defaulting
Lender and the Eligible Assignee) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such
replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a
Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, in its sole discretion, acquire the face
amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment via an assignment subject to and
in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment,
such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such
assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance and, notwithstanding
Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $10,000.

(f) Termination of Defaulting Lender’s Commitments. During any period that a Lender
is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may terminate in full the Commitments of such Defaulting
Lender by giving notice to such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (such termination, a
“Defaulting Lender Termination”) so long as on the effective date of such Defaulting Lender
Termination and after giving effect thereto and to any repayment of Loans in connection therewith:
(i) no Default or Event of Default exists (unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent to such
Defaulting Lender Termination), (ii) no Loans shall be outstanding, and (iii) the sum of (x) the
Letter of Credit Liabilities and (y) the amount of cash collateral or other credit support then
held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.2.(l) shall not exceed the aggregate
Commitments of all Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders. Each such notice shall specify the
effective date of such Defaulting Lender Termination (the “Defaulting Lender Termination Date”),
which shall be not less than 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the
Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Lender) after the date on which such notice is delivered
to such Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent. On each such Defaulting Lender Termination
Date, (i) the Commitments of such Defaulting

 

46

 

Lender shall be reduced to zero, (ii) such Defaulting
Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder (provided that any Defaulting Lender shall continue to be entitled to the
indemnification provisions contained herein, but only with respect to matters arising prior to the
applicable Defaulting Lender Termination Date), (iii) the Commitments of all other Lenders shall
remain unchanged and (iv) the Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities
will be reallocated by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders (other than the Defaulting
Lender) in accordance with their Commitment Percentages after giving effect to the Defaulting
Lender Termination.

(g) Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank agree in
writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting
Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, as the
case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Lenders, whereupon as of the effective
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender, if a
Lender, will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other
Lenders and make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary
to cause the interest of the Lenders in the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities to be on a pro
rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will
cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no cure by a Lender
under this subsection of its status as a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.

Section 3.10. Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on,
the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions,
withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but
excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be
imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or a Lender and the
jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the
activities of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender pursuant to or in respect
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by the
Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iv) any taxes
arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its
designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto and (v) any taxes that
are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such
Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor or
Participant’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional
amounts from the Borrower with respect to such taxes pursuant to this paragraph (such non-excluded
items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be
made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law,
then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be
so withheld or deducted;

 

47

 

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to
such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is
necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
required.

(b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account
or the account of the Issuing Bank or respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts
or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender as a result of any such
failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower. If the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this
Section (including additional amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section), it shall pay
to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section with respect to the indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request
of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, agrees to repay
the amount paid over pursuant to this Section (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the
Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this subsection (b), in no event will the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (b) the
payment of which would place the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender would
have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to
its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant becomes a party
hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates,
documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations
issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable,
or appropriate successor forms, and IRS Form W-9 for any Non-exempt U.S. Lender or Participant, as
applicable), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or
Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to
United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United

 

48

 

States
Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall, to the extent it may lawfully do
so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the
date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (y)
obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as
may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be
required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or
Participant, if such Lender, Participant or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to
comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant, to the extent
it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the
Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by
the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did
not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments
made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent
therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including
all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated
cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative
Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the
Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent.

(d) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to
comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant
that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming
a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide
to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other
identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with
federal law.

Article IV. Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties

Section 4.1. Eligibility of Properties.

(a) Initial Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties. On the Effective Date the
Properties identified on Schedule 4.1. shall be Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties.

(b) Additional Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date,
the Borrower desires that any additional Property become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property
and therefore included in calculations of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Value, the Borrower shall
so notify the Administrative Agent in writing (as referred to in this subsection, a “Notice of
Additional Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property”). Except as otherwise provided in the immediately
following subsection (c), no Property will become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property unless it
is an Eligible Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, and unless and until the Borrower delivers to
the Administrative Agent the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent (unless waived by the Requisite Lenders):

(i) a description of such Property, such description to include the age, location and
size of such Property;

 

49

 

(ii) an operating statement with respect to such Property for each of the two prior
fiscal years and for the current fiscal year through the fiscal quarter most recently ending
and for the current fiscal quarter, which shall be audited (to the extent available) or
certified by a representative of the Borrower to the best of such representative’s knowledge
as being true and correct in all material respects; provided, that with respect to any
period such Property was not owned by a Loan Party, such information shall only be required
to be delivered to the extent reasonably available to the Borrower;

(iii) a pro forma operating statement or an operating budget for such Property with
respect to the current and immediately following fiscal years;

(iv) a budget for capital expenditures for the immediately following 12-month period
showing funding sources acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

(v) a Compliance Certificate showing pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth
in Section 10.1. after giving effect to the addition of such Property in the calculations of
the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Values; and

(vi) such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to
evaluate the Property including, without limitation, the following:

(1) a copy of the ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Owner’s Policy”) of the
Borrower or a Subsidiary, as applicable, covering such Property showing the identity of the
fee titleholder thereto and all matters of record as of the date of such policy;

A Notice of Additional Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property executed and delivered by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall constitute a certification by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Property satisfies all of the requirements contained
in the definition of “Eligible Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property” unless such notice states
otherwise (in which case the provisions of the immediately following subsection (c) shall apply).
Within 5 Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Additional Unencumbered
Borrowing Base Property and the other reports and documents set forth in the immediately preceding
subsections (b)(i) through (vi), the Administrative Agent will send such notice, reports and
documents to each of the Lenders. Within 15 Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
a Notice of Additional Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property and other reports and documents set
forth in subsections (b)(i) through (vi), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders if (1) the Administrative Agent has confirmed that such Property satisfies all of the
requirements contained in the definition of “Eligible Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property” and (2)
if such Property is to become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property prior to March 31, 2012, the
approved Appraised Value of such Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Notice of Additional Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property
is delivered in connection with the submission of a Property as a result of Section 2.6.(b)(ii) and
within 10 Business Days of the providing of such notice the Borrower has delivered all reports and
documents required under the immediately preceding subsections (b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and
(vi)(1) through (4), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders if the
Administrative Agent has confirmed that such Property satisfies all of the requirements contained
in the definition of “Eligible Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property”; provided however if such
Property is to become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property prior to March 31, 2012, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Appraisal described in immediately preceding clause
(b)(vi)(4) with respect to such Property within 30 days of delivery of such Notice of Additional
Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property. In the event that such Property is to become an Unencumbered
Borrowing Base Property prior to March 31, 2012 in accordance with this paragraph, the Unencumbered
Borrowing Base Value shall be determined by using the Adjusted NOI of the Property at such time for
the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ending, divided by the Capitalization
Rate. If the Borrower fails to deliver an Appraisal within 30 days, as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, such Property shall cease being an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property until
such time as the Appraisal is delivered. Upon review of such Appraisal by the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the approved Appraised
Value of such Property and the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Value shall be determined in accordance
with such definition.

(c) Nonconforming Properties. If a Property which the Borrower wants to have included
in calculation of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Value does not satisfy the requirements of an
Eligible Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, then the Administrative Agent, upon written request
of the Borrower shall request that the Requisite Lenders determine whether such Property shall be
included as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property. In connection therewith, the Borrower shall
deliver the information required by the immediately preceding subsection (b) to each of the
Lenders. If such a request is made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, within 15 Business
Days after the date on which a Lender has received such request and all of the items referred to in
the immediately preceding subsection (b), each such Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Lender accepts such Property as an Unencumbered
Borrowing Base Property. If a Lender fails to give such notice within such time period, such
Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Property as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property.
A Property shall become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property under this subsection (c) only upon
the approval and/or deemed approval of the Requisite Lenders.

 

51

 

(d) Documents with Respect to Subsidiary. If a Property owned by a Subsidiary that is
not a Guarantor is to become an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Accession Agreement executed by such Subsidiary together with the items
that would have been delivered with respect to such Subsidiary under Sections 6.1.(a)(iv) through
(viii) and (xv) as if such Subsidiary had been a Guarantor on the Effective Date. If the
improvements on such a Property or the furniture, fixtures and equipment utilized in the operation
of such Property are owned or leased by a Subsidiary (the “Accommodation Subsidiary”) other than
the Subsidiary that owns or leases such Property, then the Borrower shall also deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Accession Agreement executed by such Accommodation Subsidiary. Until such
time as the Administrative Agent shall have received the items referred to in the immediately
preceding two sentences with respect to such Subsidiary and any applicable Accommodation
Subsidiary, the applicable Property shall not be considered to be an Unencumbered Borrowing Base
Property.

Section 4.2. Reclassification of Properties.

From time to time the Borrower may request, upon not less than 10 Business Days prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent, that an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property be no longer
classified as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property and therefore not included in the
calculations of the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Value, which reclassification (a
“Reclassification”) shall be effected by the Administrative Agent if all the following conditions
are satisfied as of the date of such Reclassification:

(a) no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to
such Reclassification and any prepayments of the Loans to be made in connection therewith, and the
reduction in the Unencumbered Borrowing Base Value by reason of the release of such Property as of
the date of such Reclassification (any such request from the Borrower shall include a
representation regarding no Default or Event of Default to the effect set forth in the preceding
sentence);

(b) the Borrower shall have delivered a Compliance Certificate showing pro forma compliance
with the covenants set forth in Section 10.1. after giving effect to such Reclassification; and

(c) in the case of a Reclassification of the Conrad Chicago Hotel in Chicago, Illinois or the
Vail Marriott Mountain Resort and Spa in Vail, Colorado:

(i) the Requisite Lenders shall have approved of such Reclassification in writing; and

(ii) either (x) such Property is being sold to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the
Borrower or (y) another Property will be accepted as an Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property
simultaneously with such Reclassification.

 

52

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Boston Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts shall
not be subject to a Reclassification. Upon the Borrower’s request and at the Borrower’s sole cost
and expense, the Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver such instruments, documents,
certificates and other agreements as the Borrower may reasonably request to confirm such
Reclassification.

Article V. Yield Protection, Etc.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that
compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any
corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to,
such Lender’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or
such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have
achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such
Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to
time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such
Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such
Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such
Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or
such Participant’s obligations hereunder.

(b) Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately
preceding subsection (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to
compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are
attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR
Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the
maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitment (such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”),
resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts
payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of
such LIBOR Loans or its Commitment (other than taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges,
deductions, withholdings, or other charges which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant
to the first sentence of Section 3.10.(a)) imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such
Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such
Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office or taxes covered by Section 3.10.(b), or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve
requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or
other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent
utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other
acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender
(including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender
hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such
Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change
(taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

 

53

 

(c) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions
of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any
Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified
level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes
deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this
Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR
Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or
assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base
Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect
(in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(d) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the
obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without
duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other
requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed,
modified or deemed applicable any tax (other than taxes covered by Section 3.10.), reserve, special
deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by
reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of
issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to
issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the
Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the
Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within 3 Business
Days of demand, to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, such
additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lender for such
increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative
Agent, Issuing Bank, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the
Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding
subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not
release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the
Administrative Agent); provided further that no Lender shall be entitled to claim any additional
cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amount under this Article V if such
Lender fails to provide such notice to the Borrower within 180 days of the date such Lender becomes
aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts,
loss, tax or other additional amount. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender and
each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of the
Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this
Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, or such
Participant, as the case may be, of the
effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, provided that
such determination is made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

 

54

 

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR
for any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be
conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant
maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein
or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR; or

(b) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be
conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon
the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be
determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or
maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so
long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall
not, make additional LIBOR Loans (without limiting the obligation to make Base Rate Loans),
Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of
each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert
such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for
such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent)
and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR
Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain
LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable (without limiting the
obligation to make Base Rate Loans)).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall
determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss,
cost or expense (excluding lost profits) attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or
Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without
limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan; or

 

55

 

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the
failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be
satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to
Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of
such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the
case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that
would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate
applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR
Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid
or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR
Loan calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the
Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for
determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive provided that such
determination is made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate
Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or
Section 5.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans
on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a
Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such
Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until
such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.,
Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments
and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans
shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans
shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such
Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the
circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such
Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do
promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders
are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first
day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent
necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans
and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in
accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

56

 

Section 5.6. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy
and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any
of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.3. to
reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole
discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located
in the United States of America.

Section 5.7. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such
Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market
bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the
LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however,
that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing
assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

Section 5.8. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite
Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to
Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended
under such Sections, or (c) a Lender does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or
waiver to this Agreement which, pursuant to Section 13.7., requires the vote of all of the Lenders,
and the Requisite Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver then,
so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that
such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly,
assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.6.(d) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then
owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid
fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such
Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender
shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this
Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender
nor any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to
assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this
Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the
Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section
shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation
owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to the periods up to the date of replacement.

Section 6.2. Conditions Precedent to All Loans and Letters of Credit.

The obligations of (i) Lenders to make any Loans and (ii) the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit are each subject to the further conditions precedent that: (a) no Default or Event of
Default shall exist as of the date of the making of such Loan or date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto, and no violation of the limits

this condition precedent on behalf of itself and all Lenders if cash collateral or other credit
support satisfactory to the Issuing Bank has been pledged or otherwise provided to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s or
Potential Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with
Section 2.2.(l). Each Credit Event shall constitute a certification by the Borrower to the effect

duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or other legal entity,

it and in compliance with all other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Environmental

is a complete and correct listing of all real estate assets of the Parent, the Borrower, each other

other Subsidiary or any of their respective property in any court or before any arbitrator of any

enforceability of any Loan Documents or the Fee Letter.

such date, are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly, in all material
respects and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the
consolidated financial position of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at their
respective dates and the results of operations and the cash flow for such periods (subject, as to
interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments). Neither the
Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any material contingent liabilities,
liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward
anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that would be required to be set forth in its
financial statements or notes thereto, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said
financial statements.

(l) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2009, there has been no material
adverse change in the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations

determination from the Internal Revenue Service applicable to the Qualified Plan’s current
remedial amendment cycle (as defined in Revenue Procedure 2007-44 or “2007-44” for short),

favorable opinion or advisory letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to
such prototype or volume submitter plan. To the best knowledge of the Parent and the
Borrower, nothing has occurred which could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of
their reliance on the Qualified Plan’s or Plan’s favorable determination letter, opinion or
advisory letter.

 

63

 

(ii) With respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit
arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable ERISA Group’s financial
statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715. The “benefit obligation” of all Plans does not
exceed the “fair market value of plan assets” for such Plans by more than $10,000,000 all as

participant or beneficiary with respect to a Benefit Arrangement; (iii) there are no
violations of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Benefit Arrangement or
Plan; and (iv) no member of the ERISA Group has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited
transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue
Code, in connection with any Benefit Arrangement or Plan, that would subject the Parent or
Borrower to a tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(n) Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transactions. None of the assets of the Parent,
the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary constitutes “plan assets” within the
meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder.
Assuming that no Lender funds any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term
is defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and the borrowing and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not
constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

(o) Absence of Defaults. None of the Loan Parties or any of the other Subsidiaries is
in default under its certificate or articles of incorporation or formation, bylaws, partnership
agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been
remedied, cured or waived, which, in any such case: (i) constitutes a Default or an Event of
Default; or (ii) constitutes, or which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute, a default or event of default by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary under any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or
order to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person or any of its respective
properties may be bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws, and each such Governmental Approval is in
full force and effect, and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such
Governmental Approvals, where with respect to each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through
(iii) the failure to obtain or to comply with could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except for any of the following matters that could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any

 

64

 

 knowledge of, or has received notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events, conditions, circumstances,
activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences, actions, or plans that, with respect to any
Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect to the
Properties, may: (i) cause or contribute to an actual or alleged violation of or noncompliance
with Environmental Laws, (ii) cause or contribute to any other potential common-law or legal claim

on or proposed for listing on the National Priority List promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations, or
any state or local priority list promulgated pursuant to any analogous state or local law. To
Parent’s or Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated at or transported from any such
Properties is or has been transported to, or disposed of at, any location that is listed or
proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority list,

not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents; and
(v) the Administrative Agent shall have received such written request at least 10 Business Days (or
such shorter

The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such
care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative
Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the
Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve
rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account.

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of
such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the
monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the
payment made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with
respect to such presentment.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the
Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to
liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations
in accordance with Section 11.5.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in
or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of
Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the
request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse,
warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.
When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit
remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but
without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter
of Credit Collateral Account.

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the
Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative
Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments
of funds therein.

Section 11.7. Performance by Administrative Agent.

If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement
contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower,
perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such
other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such
event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount
reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the
Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the
date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of
any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8. Rights Cumulative.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders under
this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable
Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the
exercise of any other power or right.

Article XII. The Administrative Agent

Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not
in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to
enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that,
except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders
of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall
be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on
the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative
Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent
is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly
upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements,
certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Article IX. that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where
appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished
to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the
Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document

 

91

 

not already delivered to such
Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters
not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or
collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise
any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and
shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the
Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this
Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the
Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative
Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any
right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default
or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent
otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever
against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or
refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with
the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 12.2. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in
connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or
counsel for the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and
other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel:
(a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person, and
shall be responsible to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement,
warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty
to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons,
or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be
responsible to any Lender or the Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the
perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any
recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan
Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in
connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and
signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of
its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it
selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Unless set forth in writing to the
contrary, the making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a certification by such
Lender to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that the conditions precedent for initial
Loans set forth in Sections 6.1. and 6.2. that have not previously been waived by the Requisite
Lenders have been satisfied.

 

92

 

Section 12.3. Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or
the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding
the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of
Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further,
if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.4. Wells Fargo as Lender.

Wells Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any
other Loan Document, as the case may be, as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and
its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in,
lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally
engage in any kind of business with, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the
Issuing Bank or other Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees
and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement or
otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Bank or the other Lenders. The
Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its
affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other
Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality
obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under
no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 12.5. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s
determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice
to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such
determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where
information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe
the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and
to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a
brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Parent or the
Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative
Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall
give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation
or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the
reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as
may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such
communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such
recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Requisite
Lenders, Administrative Agent shall timely submit any required written notices to all Lenders and
upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination
recommended by Administrative Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Requisite
Lenders, and each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended
course of action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any matter requiring all Lenders’ approval or
consent shall not be deemed given by any Lender’s failure to respond within any such Lender’s Reply
Period.

 

93

 

Section 12.6. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel,
attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to the Issuing
Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or
Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent to the Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges
that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the
Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliate thereof,
and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the
Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review
of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of
its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice,
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall
not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent, the
Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or
provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of,
the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices,
reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and
the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or
the Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative
Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates.
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the
Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or the Issuing Bank.

 

94

 

Section 12.7. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with
such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a
Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action
taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if
expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct
for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees
to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the
Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of
the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to
enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit
or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought
against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of
the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative
Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to
indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this
Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount
following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount
pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable
basis with each Lender making any such payment.

 

95

 

Section 12.8. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may (i) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower or (ii) be removed as
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents for gross negligence or willful misconduct upon 30
day’s prior written notice by all Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative
Agent). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of
Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each
Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning
Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the giving of notice of removal of the
Administrative Agent, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender
shall be willing to serve, or otherwise shall be a financial institution having total combined
assets of at least $50,000,000,000 and an Eligible Assignee or another Person acceptable to the
Requisite Lenders.

(b) The Administrative Agent may be removed as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents,
with or without cause, upon 15 days’ prior written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent and all the Lenders; provided that upon such removal Bank of America, N.A. is appointed as
successor Administrative Agent (in such capacity, “Successor Agent”) and accepts such appointment
thereof. Wells Fargo, as the retiring Administrative Agent, shall, at the sole cost and expense of
the Borrower, take such actions and furnish such information, documents, instruments and agreements
as are customary in its business practices and may be reasonably requested from time to time by
Successor Agent in order to facilitate and complete the transfer of the administrative agency
function to the Successor Agent.

(c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of clause (a) or (b) above, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such successor
Administrative Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if
any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to
the current Administrative Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the
current Administrative Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of clause
(a) or (b) above, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may
assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the
Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 12.9. Titled Agents.

Each of the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents (each a “Titled
Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder,
including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor
any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely
honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan
Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations
greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those
to which any other Lender is entitled.

which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, believes in
good faith to have been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting
in good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated to get a copy of a notice to receive such
copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.

Section 13.2. Expenses.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and
execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents
(including due diligence expenses and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar
information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative
Agent in connection with the review of Properties for inclusion as Unencumbered Borrowing Base
Properties and the Administrative Agent’s other activities under Article IV., including the

disbursements of their respective counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house
counsel) and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing
fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in
paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan
Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or
consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any
of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the
representation of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating
to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(f)
or 11.1.(g), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar

any such proceeding. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it
pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on
behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder.

 

99

 

Section 13.3. Stamp, Intangible and Recording Taxes.

The Borrower will pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration, recordation and
similar taxes, fees or charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against
any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to

and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or
consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any

Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an
Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of the Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of the
Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply
any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held
or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of
whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have
otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations
shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13.5. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE
PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS
WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND
EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE
LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY
WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT
OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT,
CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH OF THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND
EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND
ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION
TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON
OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER,
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ISSUING
BANK AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY
NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE
SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING
OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE
ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT
OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF
COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE
PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE
TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Parent or the Borrower may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the
provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following
subsection (f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

101

 

(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 (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

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

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (in each case, 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 any assignment of a
Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist
at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender that is not a
Defaulting Lender, to an Affiliate of a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender or to
an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to
any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a
Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a
Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender; and

(C) the consent of the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the
obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of
Credit (whether or not then outstanding); provided, however, that no such consent is
required if such assignment is to a Person that is already a Lender with a
Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender.

 

102

 

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not
a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately
following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the 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 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer
by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal 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 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 any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

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

 

103

 

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, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document
described in the second sentence of Section 13.7. that adversely affects such Participant. Subject
to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 3.3. as though it were a
Lender. Upon request from the Administrative Agent, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 5.1. 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 3.10. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(c) 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 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) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner
or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in
respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United
States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.7. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any
consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to be
given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document
may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be
waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the
written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of
the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent
of each Loan Party which is party thereto.

 

104

 

(b) Consent of Lenders Directly Affected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by each of the Lenders directly
and adversely affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of such
Lenders), do any of the following:

(i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an
assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 13.6. and any increases contemplated under
Section 2.14.) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;

(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest
that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;

(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to the Lenders hereunder or postpone any
date fixed for payment thereof;

(iv) modify the definition of “Termination Date” (except in accordance with
Section 2.11.) or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations (including the
waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such
Obligations as and when due), or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond
the Termination Date;

(v) modify the definitions of “Commitment Percentage” or amend or otherwise modify the
provisions of Section 3.2.;

(vi) amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section;

(vii) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other
manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive
any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof;

(viii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty except as
contemplated by Section 8.15.;

(ix) waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a) or Section 11.1.(b); or

(x) amend, or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.13.

(c) Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent
unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required
hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating
to Section 2.2. or the obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the
written consent of the Issuing Bank. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not
expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 12.5., no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or
otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist
until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this
Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise
explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon any Loan
Party shall entitle such Loan Party to other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

 

105

 

Section 13.8. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or the Parent and no
provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between
or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan
Party. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the
Borrower or the Parent to review or inform the Borrower or the Parent of any matter in connection
with any phase of the business or operations of the Borrower or the Parent.

Section 13.9. Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and
each Lender shall utilize all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this
Agreement which has been identified as confidential or proprietary by the Parent, Borrower, the
other Loan Parties and other Subsidiaries in accordance with its customary procedure for handling
confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but
in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates (provided any such
Affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this
Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide potential Eligible Assignee, Participant or
other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations
therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in
accordance with the terms of this Section or pursuant to terms at least as restrictive as this
Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to the Administrative
Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors
(provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) if an Event of
Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f)
upon Borrower’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any
contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and
(g) to the extent such 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 Issuing Bank or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate.

 

106

 

Section 13.10. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, all of the Affiliates of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders, and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”):
losses, costs, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or reasonable
expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court
costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any
litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but
excluding Indemnified Costs indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by
Section 3.10. or 5.1. or expressly
excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with,
arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or
settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity
Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of
Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of
the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s
entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the
fact that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are creditors of the Parent,
the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition,
strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the
fact that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are material creditors of the
Parent, the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or
affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the
exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders may have
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the
OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements)
incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that
violates a sanction administered or enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by
the Parent, Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including
any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the
Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other
Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental
Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders and/or
the Issuing Bank as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for
any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this
subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment.

 

107

 

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity
Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a
named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all
Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified
Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of
documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding
commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their
individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder
by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement
of any Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall
not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to
this Section except to the extent such failure to notify materially and adversely affects the
Borrower.

(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency
of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an
Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party
notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled
to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such
Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification
hereunder.

(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate
its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided
above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the
Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or
defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations
and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party;
provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant
hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any
amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified
Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written
consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity
Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought
against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a
violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for
any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(g) The Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition
to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

108

 

Section 13.11. Termination; Survival.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit
have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit the expiration dates of which extend
beyond the Termination Date as permitted under Section 2.2.(b) and in respect of which the Borrower
has satisfied the requirements of such Section), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer
under this Agreement to make any Loans and the Issuing Bank is no longer obligated under this
Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive
as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall
terminate; provided, however, if on the Termination Date or any other date the Commitments are
terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of
Default or otherwise) any Letters of Credit remain outstanding, then the provisions of this
Agreement applicable to the Borrower and the Agent with respect to Letters of Credit, including
without limitation, the
terms of Section 2.13. and the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations under Section 2.2.(d), shall
remain in effect until all such Letters of Credit have expired, have been cancelled or have
otherwise terminated. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.7., 13.2. and 13.10.
and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of
Section 13.5., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the
other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at
all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters
and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. The
Administrative Agent agrees to furnish to the Borrower, upon the Borrower’s request and at the
Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any release, termination, or other agreement or document
evidencing the foregoing termination.

Section 13.12. Severability of Provisions.

If any provision under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed
severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision
had never been part of the Loan Documents.

Section 13.13. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 13.14. Counterparts.

To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements
may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be
necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons
required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively
constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to
produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or
on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.

 

109

 

Section 13.15. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Parent or the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain
actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any

(c) any furnishing to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank of any
security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or
realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver,
or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which
may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover
payments made under this Guaranty;

(g) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral,
if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations;

(h) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person with

Bank, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the
exercise thereof;

performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any
other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender;

(k) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by or on behalf of the
Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document, or
any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect;

(l) any change in the corporate existence or structure of the Borrower; or

(m) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to,
any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and
all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the

Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any
kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any
manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and/or the Lenders are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or
accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or
otherwise, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to
receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had
such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank for repayment or recovery of any amount or
amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank repays all or part of said amount by reason
of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction,
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the Issuing Bank with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in
bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment,
decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation
hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other
instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable
to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank for the amounts so repaid or recovered
to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or the Issuing Bank.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder
for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee
against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive
any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or
cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or
performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Once the Guarantied Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full, the Administrative Agent agrees to furnish to
such Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s request and at such Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, any agreement
evidencing the foregoing subrogation as may be reasonably requested by such Guarantor and
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor
on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such
Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited
and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security
for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Right of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves
that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a
right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s
Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any
Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have
expired or terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this
Section against any other Guarantor until such Obligations have been paid in full and the
Commitments have expired or terminated. This Section shall not be deemed to affect any right of
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under Applicable
Law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guarantied Obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such
time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall cease to be a Guarantor in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Loan Documents. For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the
indicated meanings:

(a) “Excess Payment” means the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Ratable Share of
any Guarantied Obligations.

(b) “Ratable Share” means, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Obligations, the
ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guarantied Obligations of
(i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and
properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all
assets and other properties of all of the Loan Parties exceeds the amount of all of the debts and
liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder) of the Loan Parties; provided,
however, that, for purposes of calculating the Ratable Shares of the Guarantors in respect
of any payment of Obligations, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to the date of any
such payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such payment and the financial
information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor became a Guarantor shall be utilized
for such Guarantor in connection with such payment.

(c) “Contribution Share” means, for any Guarantor in respect of any Excess Payment made by any
other Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of
(i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and
properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent,
subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all
assets and other properties of the Loan Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds
the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the
obligations of the Loan Parties) of the Loan Parties other than the maker of such Excess Payment;
provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the
Guarantors in respect of any Excess Payment, any Guarantor that became a Guarantor subsequent to
the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Guarantor on the date of such
Excess Payment and the financial information for such Guarantor as of the date such Guarantor
became a Guarantor shall be utilized for such Guarantor in connection with such Excess Payment.

 

B-5

 

Section 12. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder,
whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full,
without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes),
and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority to make any
such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Issuing Bank such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or
withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 13. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of
the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each
Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, at any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other
Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or Participant
subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its sole
discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured
or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent,
such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or
the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although
such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and
other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct
creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation. Each Lender agrees to notify the
Borrower and such Guarantor after any such set off made by such Lender; provided, that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off.

Section 14. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for
the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that all obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without
limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the
“Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.
If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment
(in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any
manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full.

 

B-6

 

Section 15. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s
maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not
otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank) to be avoidable or
unenforceable against
such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation,
(a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and (b) any
state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding,
whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under
which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or
any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing
Bank) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.
Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be
subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which
such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any
of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions,
would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank), to be subject to
avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights
of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder to the maximum extent that
would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the
Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this
Section as against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that would not
otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 16. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations
and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank shall have any duty
whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 17. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE
FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY
GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX
ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH
GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR
NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO
ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF
ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY
KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

B-7

 

(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE
FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE
BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OF NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING
HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN
ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND
COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND
COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH
GUARANTOR AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. SHOULD A GUARANTOR FAIL TO APPEAR OR
ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE MAILING
THEREOF, SUCH GUARANTOR SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED
AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS. EACH PARTY
FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM
AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION
SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN
SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF
COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE
PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE
TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 19. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing
Bank may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other
sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute
relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations
or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the
amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to maintain such books and accounts shall not
in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

B-8

 

Section 20. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy it may
have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single
or partial exercise
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank of any such right or remedy shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 21. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with
respect to each Guarantor until indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the
other Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with
its terms.

Section 22. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns
(including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the
provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be
deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be
binding. The Lenders and the Issuing Bank may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell
participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to,
any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder. Subject to Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the
delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any
prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower
or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any Person
without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which
all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 23. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE
FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF
EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

Section 24. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing signed by
the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement),
the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor.

Section 25. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this
Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at
the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.

Section 26. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each
Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the Issuing Bank at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit
Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a
written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be
effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand
delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices
shall not be effective until received.

Section 27. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental,
or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or
in any way related to, this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each

attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out
of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 31. Release of Guarantor. If expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, a
Guarantor may be released from this Guaranty in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 32. NO NOVATION. THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AMENDED AND
RESTATED GUARANTY SOLEY TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE TERMS OF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OWING UNDER AND IN
CONNECTON WITH, THE EXISTING GUARANTY. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED
GUARANTY NOR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AND
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OWING BY THE GUARANTORS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXISTING GUARANTY.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, DIAMONDROCK HOSPITALITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a limited
partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”) hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the order of                                          (the “Lender”), in care of Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), to Wells Fargo

account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender on its books and, prior to any
transfer of this Note, endorsed by the Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation

not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the
Credit Agreement or hereunder in respect of the Loans made by the Lender.

This Note is one of the “Notes” referred to in the Second Amended and Restated Credit
