          The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

          SECTION 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the
meanings specified below:

          “ABR”, when used in reference to any Revolving Loan or Borrowing of Revolving Loans,

consummated on or after the date of this Agreement, by which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
(i) acquires any ongoing business or all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or
division thereof, whether through purchase of assets, merger or otherwise or (ii) directly or
indirectly acquires (in one transaction or as the most recent transaction in a series of
transactions) at least a majority (in number of votes) of the securities of a corporation which
have ordinary voting power for the election of directors (other than securities having such power
only by reason of the happening of a contingency) or a majority (by percentage of voting power) of
the outstanding ownership interests of a partnership or limited liability company.

Loans or Domestic Term Loans for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the
LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate plus (c) if
applicable pursuant to Section 2.20, the Mandatory Cost calculated in accordance with the formula

the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from

participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Domestic Administrative Agent will give
notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s

unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Domestic
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its
obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such
payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to
Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Domestic
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from
the Revolving Lenders. The Domestic Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments
in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Domestic Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Parent in respect of a
Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations
therein shall be promptly remitted to the Domestic Administrative Agent; any such amounts received
by the Domestic Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Domestic Administrative
Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and
to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so
remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Domestic Administrative Agent, as
applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to a Borrower for any
reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not
relieve the Parent of any default in the payment thereof.

conditions set forth herein, the Parent may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own
account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Domestic

arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the
Domestic Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the
Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of

Letter of Credit, the currency of such amount (which shall be in dollars or an Alternative
Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be
necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing
Bank, the Parent also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard
form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued,
amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each
Letter of Credit the Parent shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to
such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $15,000,000 and
(ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving
Commitments.

          (c) Expiration Date. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close

of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or
extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, subject to
subclause (ii) below.

     (ii) If the Parent so requests in any applicable letter of credit application,
the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter
of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter
of Credit”); provided further that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of
Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in
each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of
Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
“Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon
at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the
Issuing Bank, the Parent shall not be required to make a specific request to the
Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been
issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the
Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry
date not later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date;
provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the
Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such

32

 

time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof,
or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before
the day that is five Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date (1) from the
Administrative Agents that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such
renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agents, any Revolving Lender or any Borrower
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied.

          (d) Participations.

     (i) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of
the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each
Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Domestic Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by
the Parent on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Parent for any reason. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever.

granted to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have
acquired from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Existing Letter of Credit
in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the maximum amount that is or at
any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. Such participations shall be
on all the same terms and conditions as participations granted in Letters of Credit
under Section 2.05(d)(ii).

          (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a
Letter of Credit, the Parent shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Domestic
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York

noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Parent receives

33

 

such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of

notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided
that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $250,000, the Parent may, subject to the conditions
to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be
financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the
extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced
by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Parent fails to make such
payment when due, the Domestic Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the
applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Parent in respect thereof and such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Revolving Lender shall pay to the Domestic Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the
payment then due from the Parent, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to
Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis

shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.
Promptly following receipt by the Domestic Administrative Agent of any payment from the Parent
pursuant to this paragraph, the Domestic Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph
to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their
interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans
or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the
Parent of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

          (f) Obligations Absolute. The Parent’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements drawn
under a Letter of Credit requested by the Parent as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i)
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or
provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to
be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate
in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any
other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might,
but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Parent’s obligations hereunder. None of the Domestic
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties,
shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or
transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error,
omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other
communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a
drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from
causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be
construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the

34

 

Parent to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in
respect of which are hereby waived by the Parent to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by the Parent that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the
terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree
that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and
make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of
such Letter of Credit.

          (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Domestic Administrative Agent and the Parent by
telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made
or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in
giving such notice shall not relieve the Parent of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and
the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

          (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Parent shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is
made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such
LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Parent reimburses such LC Disbursement,
at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Parent
fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05,
then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the
account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any
Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for
the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

          (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Parent, the Domestic Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank
and the successor Issuing Bank. The Domestic Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving
Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become
effective, the Parent shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing
Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i)
the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to
the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank,
or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights and

35

 

obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued
by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

          (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on
the Business Day that the Parent receives notice from the Domestic Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC
Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Parent shall deposit in a separate account with the Domestic
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Domestic Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and
unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without
demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the
Borrowers described in clause (i) or (j) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the
Domestic Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of
the Parent under this Agreement. The Domestic Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion
and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any
interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the sole
discretion of the Domestic Administrative Agent and at the risk and expense of the Parent, such
deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such accounts. Moneys in such accounts shall be applied by the Domestic
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements of the Parent for which it
has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of
the reimbursement obligations of the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing
greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the
Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Parent is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not
applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Parent within three Business Days after all Events
of Default have been cured or waived.

          SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of the applicable Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof most recently designated by
it for such purpose (and with respect to the applicable Currency) by notice to the Lenders, by the
Specified Time; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04.
The Domestic Administrative Agent will make Revolving Loans available to the Parent by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Parent maintained with the
Domestic Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Parent in the applicable
Borrowing Request (or, in the case of any Loan with respect to which the Parent shall have
requested funding in an Alternative Currency, to such account in such jurisdiction as the Parent
shall have designated in the applicable Borrowing Request); provided that ABR Revolving
Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall
be remitted by the Domestic Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank. The Domestic Administrative
Agent will make the Domestic Term Loans available to the Parent by wire transfer of the amounts so
received, in like funds, to such

36

 

accounts, as the Parent shall have designated in the applicable Borrowing Request. The French
Administrative Agent will make the French Term Loans available to the applicable French Borrower by
wire transfer of the amounts so received, in like funds, to such accounts, as such French Borrower
shall have designated in the applicable Borrowing Request.

          (b) Unless an Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to such Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, such Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to such Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Administrative Agent,
at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to an Administrative Agent,
then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing
initially shall be of the Type (and in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, the Currency)
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and,
in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods (or, in the case of a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, Currencies therefor), all as provided in this Section 2.07. Eurodollar Loans
denominated in Alternative Currencies may not be converted to Loans of a different Type. The
Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans
comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be
converted or continued.

          (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the
applicable Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request
would be required under Section 2.03 if the applicable Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the applicable Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request
in a form approved by such Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower.

          (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

37

 

     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the
portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the
information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;

     (iii) in the case of such continuation or conversion of a Revolving Borrowing,
whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

     (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period
to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

     (v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, the
Currency of the resulting Borrowing.

          If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify (x)
an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration or (y) in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, a Currency,
then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Borrowing denominated in dollars
(in the case of an initial Eurocurrency Borrowing) or the same Currency as the Eurocurrency
Revolving Borrowing being continued.

          (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the applicable Administrative
Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each
resulting Borrowing.

          (e) If the Parent fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing (i) if denominated in dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if
denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be converted to a one month Interest Period
denominated in the same Currency as the Eurocurrency Borrowing being continued. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Domestic Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable
Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing
may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.08 Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments. (a) The Term
Commitments shall terminate on the Effective Date and, unless previously terminated, the Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

38

 

          (b) The Parent may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving
Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) Parent
shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment
of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed
the total Revolving Commitments.

          (c) The Parent shall notify the Domestic Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or
reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business
Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the
effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Domestic Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Parent
pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Revolving Commitments delivered by the Parent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent
(by notice to the Domestic Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall
be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

          (d) The Parent may at any time, by written notice to the Domestic Administrative Agent,
request that the Domestic Administrative Agent increase the total Revolving Commitments (a
“Revolver Increase”) by (i) adding one or more new lenders to the revolving credit facility
under this Agreement (each a “New Lender”) who wish to participate in such Revolver
Increase and/or (ii) increasing the Revolving Commitments of one or more Revolving Lenders party to
this Agreement who wish to participate in such Revolver Increase; provided, however, that (w) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such request or
as of the effective date of such Revolver Increase (the “Increase Date”) or shall occur as
a result thereof, (x) any New Lender that becomes party to this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 2.08(d) shall satisfy the requirements of Section 9.04(b) hereof and shall be acceptable to
the Domestic Administrative Agent and consented to by the Parent and (y) the other conditions set
forth in Section 2.08(e) below are satisfied. The Domestic Administrative Agent shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the syndication of any Revolver Increase. The
Domestic Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders of any such request made by the
Parent. The aggregate amount of Revolver Increases shall not exceed $25,000,000 and no single such
Revolver Increase shall be for an amount less than $5,000,000.

          (e) On each Increase Date, (i) each New Lender that has chosen to participate in such Revolver
Increase shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.08(d) hereof, become a Lender
party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and shall have a Revolving Commitment in an amount
equal to its share of the Revolver Increase and (ii) each Revolving Lender that has chosen to
increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.08(d) will have its Revolving Commitment
increased by the amount of its share of the Revolver Increase as of such Increase Date;
provided, however, that the Domestic Administrative Agent shall have (y) received
from the Parent all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Domestic

39

 

Administrative Agent in connection with such Revolver Increase and (z) received on or before
such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

     (i) certified copies of resolutions of the governing body of each Loan Party
approving the Revolver Increase and the corresponding modifications, if any, to the
Loan Documents required under subclause (vi) below, together with a certificate of
the Parent certifying that there have been no changes to the constitutive documents
of the Parent since the Effective Date, or if there have been changes, copies
certified by the Parent of all such changes;

     (ii) an Assignment and Assumption from each New Lender participating in the
Revolver Increase, if any, duly executed by such New Lender, the Domestic
Administrative Agent and the Parent;

     (iii) confirmation from each Revolving Lender participating in the Revolver
Increase of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Commitment, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Domestic Administrative Agent;

     (iv) a certificate of the Parent certifying that no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result of such Revolver
Increase;

     (v) a certificate of the Parent certifying that the representations and
warranties made by the Parent herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and
complete in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and
as of such date (or, to the extent any such representation or warranty specifically
relates to an earlier date, such representation or warranty is true and complete in
all material respects as of such earlier date); and

     (vi) supplements or modifications to the Loan Documents and such additional
Loan Documents, including any new promissory notes to New Lenders and replacement
promissory notes to Revolving Lenders that agree to participate in such Revolver
Increase and request such promissory notes, that the Domestic Administrative Agent
reasonably deems necessary in order to document such Revolver Increase and otherwise
assure and give effect to the rights of the Domestic Administrative Agent and the
Revolving Lenders in the Loan Documents.

          (f) On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 2.08(d),
the Domestic Administrative Agent shall (i) effect a settlement of all outstanding Loans among the
Revolving Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders as
a result of the Revolver Increase, including reflecting that each Lender holds its Applicable
Percentage of the Revolving Loans outstanding that are denominated in each Currency and (ii) notify
the Revolving Lenders, any New Lenders participating in the Revolver Increase and the Borrowers, on
or before the Specified Time, by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Revolver Increase to
be effected on such Increase Date.

40

 

          SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

          (a) (i) The Parent hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Domestic Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving
Loan made to the Parent by such Revolving Lender on the Maturity Date and (ii) the Parent hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is
made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such
Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made to
the Parent, the Parent shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. The Parent hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Domestic Administrative Agent for the account of each
Domestic Term Lender the Domestic Term Loans on the first Business Day of the month following each
date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such date (as adjusted
from time to time pursuant to Section 2.10(c)):

To the extent not previously paid, all unpaid Term Loans shall be paid in full in cash by the
applicable Borrowers on the Maturity Date.

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.

          (c) Each Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Class, Currency and Type thereof and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by
each Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations
of each Borrower to repay the applicable Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory
note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such
Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agents.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory
notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is
a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

          SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any of its Borrowings in whole or in part, subject to prior notice
in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10.

42

 

          (b) The applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent (and, in the case
of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
any prepayment under clause (a) above (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not
later than the Specified Time three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case
of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than the Specified Time one Business Day before the
date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than the
Specified Time on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid;
provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of
prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing or a Term
Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment pursuant to clause (a) above of any Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing
shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of
the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the applicable prepaid Borrowing.

          (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of
any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately after such Net
Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans
in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds, to be applied (i) if such Net Proceeds
are received with respect to a Prepayment Event attributable to property or any asset of Parent or
any Domestic Guarantor, such Net Proceeds shall be applied first to the Domestic Term Loans and
second to the French Term Loans, (ii) if such Net Proceeds are received with respect to a
Prepayment Event attributable to property or any asset of a French Borrower or any Foreign
Guarantor, such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the French Term Loans and (iii) in either case to
be applied to installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity; provided that no
such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) if, with respect to any Net
Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Prepayment Event, at the option of the Parent,
and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent reinvests or
causes to be reinvested all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in assets useful for its business
within two hundred and seventy (270) days of the receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided
further that if any Net Proceeds are not so reinvested within the time period set forth
above in this Section 2.10(c), an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds shall be promptly applied
to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.10(c).

          (d) Within five Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01(c), the Parent shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to (i)
75% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements in the case of the
fiscal years ending June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, and (ii) 75% of Excess Cash Flow for the
fiscal year covered by such financial statements in the case of the fiscal years ending June 30,
2012 and June 30, 2013 if the Leverage Ratio for either such fiscal year is greater than 1.00 to 1,

43

 

applied on a pro rata basis between the Domestic Term Loans and the French
Term Loans and applied to installments of such Term Loans in inverse order of maturity.

          (e) Upon the issuance of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.01(k), the Parent shall,
within ten days of the receipt thereof, use 100% of the Net Proceeds (except to the extent used
substantially concurrently with such issuance to fund one or more Permitted Acquisitions) to prepay
the Loans, applied first on a pro rata basis between the Domestic Term Loans and
the French Term Loans and applied to installments of such Term Loans in inverse order of maturity
and second applied to the Revolving Loans (with corresponding reductions in the Revolving
Commitments).

          (f) If the Domestic Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers at any time that:

     (i) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceed the then current aggregate
Revolving Commitments, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice,
the Parent shall prepay Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis in an amount sufficient
to cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to not exceed the then current
aggregate Revolving Commitments; or

     (ii) the outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency
Sublimit, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Parent
shall prepay Revolving Loans on a pro rata basis in an aggregate amount sufficient
to reduce the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative
Currencies as of the date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the
Alternative Currency Sublimit.

          (g) Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section
2.12.

          SECTION 2.11 Fees. (a) The Parent agrees to pay to the Domestic Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (the “Revolving Credit Commitment
Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the unused Revolving
Commitment of such Revolving Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates, whether or not prior to such time
all the conditions in Section 4.02 are met. Accrued Revolving Credit Commitment Fees shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the third Business Day of January, April, July and October of each
year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the date hereof. All Revolving Credit Commitment Fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day).

          (b) The Parent agrees to pay (i) to the Domestic Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which
shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate

44

 

applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC
Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the
period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC
Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per
annum separately agreed upon between the Parent and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of
the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of
termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure,
as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and
fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be
payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on
which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing
Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation
fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable
for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (c) Each Borrower agrees to pay to each Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between such Borrower and any
Administrative Agent.

          (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Domestic Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank or the French Administrative Agent, in
the case of fees payable to such party) for distribution, in the case of Revolving Credit
Commitment Fee and participation fees, to the Revolving Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable
under any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.12 Interest. (a) The Revolving Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
(including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate.

          (b) The Revolving Loans and the Domestic Term Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall
bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the Applicable Rate.

          (c) The French Term Loans shall bear interest at EURIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for
the applicable Borrower plus the Applicable Rate.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or
other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan or in the
case of any other overdue amount in connection with any French Term Loan or

45

 

any Eurodollar Revolving Loan that is denominated in any Alternative Currency, 2% plus
the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
2.12 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12; provided, that interest on any such overdue
amount with respect to Loans held by any French Borrower accruing as described in clause (i) above
shall be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to such
overdue amount if and only if, within the meaning of Article 1154 of the French Code civil, such
interest is due for a period of at least one year but will remain immediately due and payable.

          (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 2.12 shall be
payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest
on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or
prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of
such conversion.

          (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is
based on the Prime Rate and interest for Loans denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable
Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or EURIBOR shall be determined by the applicable
Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (g) To comply with the provisions of Articles L.313-4 and R.313-1 of the French Code monétaire
et financier and articles L.313-1, L.313-2 and R.313-1 to R.313-5 of the French Code de la
consommation, the French Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the effective global interest rate
for each of the Loans held by the French Borrowers cannot be calculated as of the Effective Date
for the entire duration of this Agreement; however, a letter which sets forth a sample
calculation of interest on the Loans shall be provided to the French Borrowers by the French
Administrative Agent on the Effective Date and prior to the making of any Loan to a French
Borrower. The French Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that this letter is an integral part of
this Agreement. For each Interest Period applicable to a French Term Loan, the French
Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant French Borrower of the actual global effective rate
(taux effectif global) applicable to such Interest Period.

          SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing of Revolving Loans:

          (i) The Domestic Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and

46

 

reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the
LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

     (ii) the Domestic Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Revolving
Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving
Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in
such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Domestic Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent and the Revolving
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Domestic
Administrative Agent notifies the Parent and the Revolving Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion
of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing,
such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that (x) if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings
shall be permitted and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one
Currency, then Borrowings in other Currencies shall be permitted.

          (b) Subject to the following sentence, if EURIBOR is to be determined by reference to the
Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the
Quotation Day, the applicable EURIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the
remaining Reference Banks. If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a French Term Loan
for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each French Term Lender’s share of that Loan
for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of (i) the
Applicable Margin, (ii) the rate notified to the French Administrative Agent by that Lender as soon
as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest
Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of
funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select and (iii) the
Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan. If a Market
Disruption Event occurs and the French Administrative Agent or any French Borrower so requires, the
French Administrative Agent and the French Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of
not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of
interest. Any such alternative basis so agreed shall, with the prior consent of all the Term
Lenders and the French Borrowers, be binding on all parties.

          SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

     (ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by

47

 

such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (excluding any
such condition relating to Taxes (as to which Section 2.16 shall govern));

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable
Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

          (c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation
pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to
compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or
reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include
the period of retroactive effect thereof.

          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, (x) any
Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Revolving Lender to make or maintain any Revolving
Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated
hereby with respect to any such Loan or (y) there shall have

48

 

occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions
(including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates that
would make it impracticable for any Revolving Lender to make or maintain Loans denominated in the
affected Currency, then, by written notice to the Parent and to the Domestic Administrative Agent:

     (i) such Revolving Lender or Revolving Lenders may declare that Revolving Loans
in the affected Currency or Currencies will not thereafter (for the duration of such
unlawfulness or impracticality) be made by such Revolving Lender or Revolving
Lenders hereunder (or, in the case of outstanding Loans, be continued for additional
Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Borrowing in the affected Currency or
Currencies (or to continue a Borrowing in the affected Currency or Currencies for an
additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Revolving Lender or Lenders only, be
deemed a request for an Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period of one month’s
duration and denominated in dollars at the Exchange Rate determined by the Domestic
Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement (or a request to convert a
Revolving Loan into a Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period of one month’s
duration and denominated in dollars at the Exchange Rate determined by the Domestic
Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement on the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto), unless such declaration shall be
subsequently withdrawn; and

     (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Revolving Loans in the
affected Currency or Currencies made by it be converted to Eurodollar Revolving
Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s duration and denominated in dollars,
in which event all such Loans in the affected Currency or Currencies shall be
converted to Eurodollar Revolving Loans having an Interest Period of one month’s
duration and denominated in dollars, as of the effective date of such notice as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.14 and at the Exchange Rate determined
by the Domestic Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement on the date
of such conversion.

          In the event any Revolving Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above,
all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the
Revolving Loans that would have been made by such Revolving Lender or the converted Revolving Loans
of such Revolving Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by
such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Revolving Loans.

          (f) For purposes of paragraph (e) of this Section 2.14, a notice to the Parent by any
Revolving Lender shall be effective as to each Revolving Loan made by such Revolving Lender, if
lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Revolving Loan; in all
other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Parent.

          SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable

49

 

thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b)
and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each
applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate
or EURIBOR, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan (excluding, however the
Applicable Rate included therein, if any), for the period from the date of such event to the last
day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert
or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits
of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.16 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
any Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes;
provided that if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments,
then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing
Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.

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

          (c) The Borrowers shall severally but not jointly indemnify each Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid
directly by) such Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower hereunder
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to

50

 

a Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by any Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. After an
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (as the case may be) learns of the imposition
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank
(as the case may be) will act in good faith to promptly notify the Borrowers of their obligations
hereunder. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Lender and
the Issuing Bank for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by such Administrative Agent,
Lender or Issuing Bank as a result of any failure of the Borrower to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to each Administrative Agent, pursuant to clause
(d), documentation evidencing the payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.

          (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any
Borrower to a Governmental Authority and in any event within 90 days of any such payment being due,
such Borrower shall deliver to each Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agents.

          (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the
applicable law, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to each
Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative
Agents on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the expiration or invalidity of any of the certificates or IRS forms
described below or upon the request of the Parent or an Administrative Agent, but only if such
Lender is legally entitled to do so), two (2) original copies of whichever of the following is
applicable:

     (i) duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form)
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party;

     (ii) duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form),
establishing that such party is not subject to deduction or withholding of United
States federal income tax;

     (iii) in the case of a party claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect
that such party is not (A) a “bank” described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code),
(B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent described in Section 881(c)(3)(B) of
the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C)
of the Code and (y) duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN; or

51

 

     (iv) IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), establishing that such party is not
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

          (f) If an Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower
or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it
shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or
additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Administrative
Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that each Borrower, upon the
request of an Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to such Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event such Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not
be construed to require any Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or
any other Person.

          SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15
or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to the Specified Time at the place of payment, on the date when due,
in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such
time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.
All such payments shall be made to (i) the Domestic Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park
Avenue, New York, New York, in the case of payments denominated in dollars and (ii) the applicable
Administrative Agent at its offices at 125 London Wall, London, EC2Y 5AJ, United Kingdom, attention
of Alastair A. Stevenson, in the case of payments in respect of Revolving Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies and in the case of payments in respect of French Term Loans, except payments
to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except
that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received
by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt
thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All
payments hereunder shall be made in dollars or, in the case of principal of and interest on any
Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may
be. Except as provided in clause (c) below, each payment or prepayment of principal or payment of
interest in respect of a Borrowing of Loans shall be allocated ratably among the parties entitled
thereto.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the applicable
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC

52

 

Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds received on the account of
each Borrower shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder
by such Borrower, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder by such Borrower, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then
due to such parties and (iii) third, towards payment of Obligations under any Guaranty to which
such Borrower is a party.

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

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

53

 

          (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section
2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the applicable Administrative Agent may,
in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter
received by such Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

          SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.16, then such Lender shall designate a different lending office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16,
as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the applicable
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent (and
if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans (and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any
such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation
or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

          SECTION 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply
for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

          (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

54

 

          (b) the Revolving Commitment, Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans outstanding with
respect to such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the
Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any
amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender
differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

          (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Revolving Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then:

     (i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x)
the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such
Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of
all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth
in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

     (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Parent shall within one Business Day following notice by
Domestic Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and
(y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after
giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long
as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

     (iii) if Parent cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.19(c), the Parent shall not be required to pay
any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure is cash collateralized;

     (iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant
to this Section 2.19(c), then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ pro rata shares (based on their respective Revolving
Commitments); and

     (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor
reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(c), then, without prejudice to any rights
or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of
credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash
collateralized and/or reallocated; and

          (d) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be

55

 

required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the
related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders
and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Parent in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and
participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made
Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in a
manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event that each Administrative Agent, the Parent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall
be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such
Revolving Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders
(other than Swingline Loans) as the Domestic Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary
in order for such Revolving Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its pro rata
share (based on its Revolving Commitment).

          SECTION 2.20 Additional Reserve Costs.

          (a) If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits, to maintain reserve
asset, liquidity or cash margin ratios, to pay fees or comply with other requirements (but for the
avoidance of doubt excluding requirements contemplated by Section 2.14(e)) of the Bank of England,
the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom or the European Central Bank, in each case
in respect of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans in any Alternative Currency and pursuant to such
requirements, such Lender may require each applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each
payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum
equal to the Mandatory Cost calculated in accordance with Schedule 2.20 hereto.

          (b) Each Lender shall, in consultation with the applicable Borrower, take all reasonable steps
as may be available to it to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any
amount becoming payable under or pursuant to the Mandatory Cost including (but not limited to)
transferring its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Affiliate or office or
offices through which it will perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that
any such Lender will not be required to take any such action if to do so would, in the judgment of
such Lender, be reasonably expected to have an adverse effect on its business, operations or
financial condition, cause it to incur liabilities or obligations or reduce its return in relation
to its participations in the Loans.

          (c) Each Lender shall supply the applicable Administrative Agent with any information required
by the applicable Administrative Agent in order to calculate the Mandatory Cost.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do

qualification is required.

          SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the

laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless
of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

          SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any

imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties under
the Loan Documents) on any asset of any of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except for, in
the case of clause (a), those consents, approvals, negotiations, filings, or actions, the failure
of which to obtain or make could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
and, in the case of clauses (b) and (d), with respect to any violation or default to the extent
such violation or default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Parent has
heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income,
stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, reported
on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter
and the portion of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, certified by its chief financial

position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit

57

 

adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause
(ii) above.

          (b) Since June 30, 2009, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets,
operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.

          SECTION 3.05 Properties. (a) Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has good title
to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business,
except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as
currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

          (b) Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, trade
names, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use
thereof by the Parent and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person,
except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits
or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against or affecting the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
(i) that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material
Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the
Transactions.

          (b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any
Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii)
has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any
basis for any Environmental Liability.

          (c) Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed
Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon
it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
continuing.

          SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status. None of the Loan Parties is required to be
registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

58

 

          SECTION 3.09 Taxes. Each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or
caused to be filed all tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused
to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent or such Subsidiary, as applicable,
has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.10 ERISA. No ERISA Event or ERISA Multiemployer Plan Event has occurred or
is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events and
ERISA Multiemployer Plan Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan (with respect to which the
Parent or any other Borrower has any liability or reasonable expectation of liability) is in “at
risk” status within the meaning of Section 430(i) of the Code or Section 303(i) of ERISA.

          SECTION 3.11 Disclosure. As of the Effective Date, each Borrower has disclosed to
the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of
its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other
information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower to any Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or
supplemented by other information so furnished) contains, when taken as a whole, any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when furnished, not misleading;
provided that, with respect to projected financial information, each Borrower represents
only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by such
Borrower to be reasonable at the time.

deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the applicable Borrower on the date thereof
as to the matters specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.02.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

          Until the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on

62

 

and results of operations of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a

prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03.

          SECTION 5.04 Payment of Obligations. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its
subsidiaries to, pay its obligations (including Tax liabilities but other than obligations with
respect to Indebtedness) that, if not paid, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity
or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such Borrower or
such subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance

general corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or
indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the

Board, including Regulations T, U and X. In particular, no part of the proceeds of any French
Term Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, by any French Borrower to finance or refinance any

permitted under applicable law, into a Guaranty (French Obligations), (ii) in the case of any
Domestic Subsidiary, enter into a Guaranty (Domestic Obligations), (iii) enter into a joinder

benefit of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders, in any property of such Subsidiary which
constitutes Collateral, including any parcel of real property located in the United States owned by
such Subsidiary and having a fair market value in excess of $2,500,000. In connection therewith,
the Parent or any applicable Subsidiary shall provide such resolutions, certificates and opinions
of counsel as shall be reasonably requested by any Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 5.10 Further Assurances.

          (a) Each Loan Party will cause the issued and outstanding Equity Interests pledged pursuant to
any of the Collateral Documents to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien in
favor of any Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agents shall reasonably request.

          (b) Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary to,
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agents such
documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions
(including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of
trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section
4.01, as applicable), which may be required by law or which any Administrative Agent may, from time
to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created
by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

          SECTION 5.11 Pledge of Shares of German Subsidiary. By not later than the four-month
anniversary of the Effective Date or such later time as the French Administrative Agent shall agree

Obligations), together with joinders to the Guaranty (French

66

 

Obligations) from each New Pledgor and opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
French Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

          Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints each Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes each Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to such Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          Each bank serving as an Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent hereunder.

          The Administrative Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agents
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agents shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby that the applicable Administrative Agent is required to exercise in
writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as
shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as
expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and
shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any

77

 

information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or
obtained by either bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in
any capacity. Neither Administrative Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the
absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Each Administrative Agent shall be
deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to
such Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and neither Administrative Agent shall be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv)
the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other
agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV
or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to
such Administrative Agent.

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

          Each Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Administrative Agent. Each
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, any Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, in consultation with and, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
subject to the consent of (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Parent, to appoint a
successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office (a) in
the case of a successor Domestic Administrative Agent, in New York, New York and (b) in the case of
a successor French Administrative Agent, in London, or an Affiliate

78

 

of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by
a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After any Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.03 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was
acting as Administrative Agent.

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

          Each Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank appoint the French Administrative
Agent to act as security trustee under and in connection with the Foreign Security Documents on the
terms and conditions set out in Schedule 8.

          Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agents to execute the Intercreditor
Agreement.

          (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by
electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Domestic Administrative Agent;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless
otherwise agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Any
Administrative Agent or the Parent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or

          (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall

          SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a
Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such
Default at the time.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required
Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of
the principal amount of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.09 or LC Disbursement, or any interest
thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment,
or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (iv)

80

 

change Section 2.17 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required
thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (except for
technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement
which affect the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the
Revolving Commitments and the Term Loans on the Effective Date), or (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section 9.02 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or
otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be.

          SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Parent shall pay (i) all
reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by each Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents,
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation
and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii)
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and
(iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with
the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses
incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

          (b) The Borrowers shall, severally but not jointly, indemnify each Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto
of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter
of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,

81

 

damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

          (c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

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

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

          SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be

assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of
Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section 9.04. 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 (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees (which assignees shall not be a Loan Party, any member of the Sponsor
Group or any of their respective Affiliates) 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)
with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

82

 

     (A) the Borrowers, provided that no consent of the Borrowers
shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender,
an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any other assignee;

     (B) the applicable Administrative Agent; and

     (C) the Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of the Issuing
Bank shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term

delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than (x)
$5,000,000, in the case of a Revolving Commitment, (y) $1,000,000, in the
case of a Domestic Term Loan, or (z) 1,000,000 EUR, in the case of a French
Term Loan, in each case unless each of the applicable Borrower and the
applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no
such consent of any Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing;

     (B) 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, provided that this clause shall not be
construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of
Commitments or Loans;

     (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

     (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the
assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level
information (which may contain material non-public information about the
Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will
be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with
the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal
and state securities laws; and

83

 

     (E) the assignee shall be a Qualifying French Lender in the case of an
assignment of any French Term Commitment or French Term Loans.

          For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning:

     “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in
the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b)
an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender.

     (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04.

     (iv) The Domestic Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and
LC Disbursements 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 Borrowers,
the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank 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 Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the applicable Administrative
Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained
therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the
assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be

84

 

made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c),
the applicable Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment
shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, any Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject
to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though
it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it
were a Lender.

     (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.14 or 2.16 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 Borrowers’ prior written consent.
A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the
Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e)
as though it were a Lender.

          (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (e) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain at one of its offices in the United States a

85

 

register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

          SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by any Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under
this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03
and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination
of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.

          SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to any
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agents and when the
Domestic Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received counterparts hereof which, when
taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or
via other electronic means satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (c),
(i), (j) or (k) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing, or if any other Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall so consent, each

86

 

Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by
such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all
the obligations of any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have.

          SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and, to the extent permitted by law, of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of
any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, to the extent
permitted by law, a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against
any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A)
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS

87

 

REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.10.

          SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agents, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of
such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement,
(v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to (A) any assignee of
or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to
any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the
consent of any Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (B) becomes available to any
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other
than a Borrower. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all
information received from any Borrower relating to any Borrower or its business, other than any
such information that is available to any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12 shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

          (b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING ANY BORROWER AND
ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH
MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING
FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

88

 

          (c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY ANY BORROWER
OR ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN
PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER
REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

          SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not
above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the
USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the
“Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to
identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.15 Currency of Payment. Each payment owing by any Borrower hereunder shall
be made in the relevant Currency specified herein or, if not specified herein, specified in any
other Loan Document executed by any Administrative Agent (the “Currency of Payment”) at the
place specified herein (such requirements are of the essence of this Agreement). If, for the
purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a
Currency of Payment into another Currency, the parties hereto agree that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Domestic Administrative
Agent could purchase such Currency of Payment with such other currency at the Exchange Rate on the
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations in respect of any
sum due hereunder to any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall, notwithstanding any adjudication
expressed in a currency other than the Currency of Payment, be discharged only to the extent that,
on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or Issuing Bank of any sum adjudged to be so
due in such other Currency, such Lender or

89

 

Issuing Bank may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Currency of
Payment with such other currency. Each Borrower agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, (a) if the amount of the Currency of Payment so purchased is less than the sum originally due
to such Lender or Issuing Bank in the Currency of Payment, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding the result of any such adjudication, such Borrower shall promptly pay the shortfall
(in the Currency of Payment) to such Lender or Issuing Bank and (b) if the amount of the Currency
of Payment so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender
or Issuing Bank shall promptly pay the excess over to such Borrower in the currency and to the
extent actually received.

90

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
