	 	 	 	The payment of any bonus hereunder shall be contingent on satisfaction in
full of all of the following: (1) the Employee demonstrating best efforts,
as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, to have a “ready now”
successor for each of the NAAC Division’s heads of sales and
marketing/business unit management reporting to Employee, in each case, by
December 1, 2010; (2) the Company achieving the organizational performance
criteria established hereunder (“Performance Criteria”); (3) achieving and
maintaining the NAAC Division’s fiscal year 2010 business plan’s (as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”))
operating income, as adjusted, by the Board’s Compensation and Management
Development Committee for extraordinary items (“Adjusted FY 2010 OI”); and
(4) achieving a level of revenue in the NAAC Division for FY2010 as
adjusted by the CMDC (“Adjusted FY2010 Revenue”) equal to or greater than
the NAAC Division’s Adjusted FY2009 Revenue as adjusted by the CMDC; and
(5) the Employee’s continued employment with the Company until January 1,
2011, except in the event of the Employee’s involuntary termination of
employment without cause or the Employee’s voluntary termination of
employment with Good Reason.

	 	 	 	If the level of FY2010 NAAC Division Adjusted Revenue does not exceed the
FY2010 NAAC Division’s business plan targeted revenue (as approved by the
Board) any otherwise eligible bonus payouts under this agreement will be
reduced by 50%.

	 	 	 	Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria shall be determined
based on market share [***]. The Company’s market share shall be
determined by [***], as set forth in Exhibit “A” [***].

	 	 	 	Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for
the performance period beginning October 1, 2009 and ending September 30,
2010 (“Year One”), the Employee shall be entitled to a bonus up to but not
exceeding the Maximum Bonus Amount, with two-thirds of such bonus being
paid in December 2010 (“Initial Amount”) and one third being held back for
potential payment in December 2011, with the amount so held back being
referred to as the “Hold Back Amount”. The Initial Amount plus the Hold
Back Amount equals the “Total Bonus.”

	 	 	 	Employee is eligible to earn up to Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000)
of the Maximum Bonus Amount based on [***].

	 	 	 	Employee’s actual bonus payment, if any, will be calculated on a pro rata
basis, with a bonus earned or payable only if [***].

	 	 	 	[***].

	 	 	 	Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for
the performance period beginning October 1, 2010 and ending September 30,
2011 (“Year Two”), if [***], then Company shall pay the entire applicable
Hold Back Amount to the Employee in a single lump sum payment in December
2011.

	 	 	 
	***	 	Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted
portions.

	 	 	 	If the Total Bonus as recalculated using Year Two market data as if it were
applied in Year One is less than the Initial Amount, Employee will forfeit
the entire Hold Back Amount. If the Total Bonus as recalculated using Year
Two market data exceeds the Initial Amount, then the Employee shall be
entitled to the portion of the Hold Back Amount equal to such excess.
[***]. In the event the entire Hold Back Amount is more than offset by any
adjustment, there will be no forfeiture of the Initial Amount. [***].

	 	 	 	Adjustments based on Early Termination. In the event of the
Employee’s involuntary termination of employment without cause or the
Employee’s voluntary termination of employment with Good Reason between
October 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010, then the maximum bonus that may be
earned by the Employee shall be reduced by multiplying Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total number of full months of service completed by the Employee and the
denominator of which is six (6). In the event of the Employee’s
involuntary termination of employment without cause or the Employee’s
voluntary termination of employment with Good Reason between April 1, 2010
and October 1, 2010, then the maximum bonus that may be earned by the
Employee shall be determined as provided above but subject to a maximum
bonus of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00), and no bonus shall be
payable for the period beginning October 1, 2010 and ending September 30,
2011. In the event of the Employee’s involuntary termination of employment
without cause or the Employee’s voluntary termination of employment with
Good Reason between October 1, 2010 and September 30, 2011, then the Hold
Back Amount payable with respect to this performance period shall be paid
to the Employee in full, regardless of whether the Company attains the
organizational Performance Criteria for this performance period.

	 	 	 	Notwithstanding the above, the CMDC shall have total discretion regarding
[***] calculations, satisfaction of Performance Criteria, and determination
of any bonus amounts payable hereunder.

4. Long-Term Incentive Compensation (“LTIP”). Paragraph 4 of the Employment Agreement
shall be amended to provide you a potential LTIP award, if approved by the CMDC, valued at Six
Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($665,000), by adding new Paragraph 4(d) as follows:

	 	(d)	 	Subject to approval of the revised Long Term Incentive (“LTIP”) Plan
by the CMDC during its September 2009 meeting, effective December 3, 2009, the
Company shall award the Employee a long-term incentive
compensation award valued at Six Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Dollars
($665,000) under the LTIP, consisting of time-based restricted stock units
valued at Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000.00), time-based
stock options valued at One Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand ($199,000.00), and
phantom stock units valued at One Hundred Ninety Nine Thousand
($199,000.00) . The above awards will vest as provided under the terms of
the revised LTIP.

5. Forfeiture/Clawback. In the event of the your involuntary termination of employment
with Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (“Company”) for cause (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) or voluntary termination of employment without Good Reason (as defined in the
Employment Agreement) prior to January 1, 2011, you shall forfeit all performance-based
compensation provided under paragraph 3 of this Letter Agreement. In the event of such forfeiture,
you agree to repay to the Company the total value of all performance-based compensation provided
under paragraph 3 of this Letter Agreement plus interest at an annual interest rate of three point
two five percent (3.25%). Moreover, if, within twenty four months of any payment to you of
performance-based compensation under paragraph 3 of this Agreement, it is determined, in the
judgment of the Board’s Compensation and Management Development Committee (“CMDC”), that (i) such
amount(s) exceed(s) the amount(s) that would have been paid to you had the Company’s relative
market share (as calculated under [***]) and/or Adjusted FY 2010 OI been correctly calculated prior
to any payment to you of performance-based compensation under paragraph 3 of this Agreement, and
(ii) the incorrect calculation of the Company’s relative market share (as calculated under [***])
and/or Adjusted FY 2010 OI was, in the judgment of the CMDC, due, in whole or in part, to your
misconduct (including, without limitation, fraud, and violation of law or Company policy), then you
agree to repay to the Company on demand the total value of such excess amount of performance-based
compensation under paragraph 3 of this Agreement plus interest at an annual interest rate of three
point two five percent (3.25%).

6. Effect on Employment Agreement. Your Employment Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, except as modified by this Letter Agreement.

SECTION 2. LOANS

2.1 Loans and Borrowing Mechanics.

	 	(a)	 	Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) on the Closing
Date, each Lender agrees to make an Initial Term Loan to the Borrower, and (ii)
thereafter, but prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, so long as the conditions set
forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied, within ten (10) days after receipt by the
Administrative Agent of written request from the Borrower, each Lender agrees to make a
Subsequent Term Loan (the loans referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Term
Loans”). Any amount borrowed with respect to the Term Loans and subsequently
repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Payment on Maturity Date. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises
to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of the Term Loans in cash on the Maturity Date.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Funding Notice. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully
executed Funding Notice as of the Closing Date or not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York
City time) ten (10) Business Days prior to borrowing the Subsequent Term Loan.
Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Subsequent Term Loan. Each Lender shall
make its Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the date specified in such Funding Notice, by wire transfer of same day
funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Upon satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make
the proceeds of the Loans available to Borrower on such date by causing an amount of
same day funds in

26

 

	 	 	 	Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to such account as may be designated
in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower.

2.2 Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to
their respective applicable Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan
requested hereunder nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of
a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used in accordance with the Budget, and
exclusively (i) to provide working capital for the Borrower, (ii) to fund capital expenditures, and
(iii) for other general corporate purposes. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension
shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of
such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.4 Evidence of Liabilities; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

	 	(a)	 	Lenders’ Evidence of Liabilities. Each Lender shall maintain on its
internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Liabilities of Borrower to such
Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment
in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower,
absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any
error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s
Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided, further,
in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the
recordations in the Register shall govern.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office
a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the
Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register
shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in
the Register the Commitments and the Loans, and the interest, each repayment or
prepayment thereon, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on
Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any
such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s
Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower
(with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an
assignee

27

 

	 		 	of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.5) on the Closing Date (or, if such
notice is delivered after the Closing Date, within five (5) days after Borrower’s
receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans. Any such Note
evidencing Loans under the applicable Commitment shall be in substantially the form of
Exhibit B.

2.5 Interest on Loans.

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest for each
day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate determined as of such day for the relevant Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date,
provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be payable from
time to time on written demand.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Interest payable on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In
computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan shall be included,
and the date of payment of such Loan shall be excluded.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the
relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest
rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall
become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes
effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date
and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the
Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section.

2.6 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under
Section 8.1(a), the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any past due interest payments on the Loans or any past due fees or other amounts
owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in
excess of the Effective Rate with respect to the Loans (the “Post-Default Rate”). Payment of
interest at the Post-Default Rate is not, however, a permitted alternative to timely payment, and
acceptance of interest at the Post-Default Rate shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any
Lender.

28

 

2.7 Payments of Other Amounts.

	 	(a)	 	Pursuant to those certain letter agreements (collectively, the “Fee Letter”)
dated the Closing Date between Borrower and the Administrative Agent, Borrower has
promised to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for itself, and (ii) to each Lender,
for itself, and in accordance with its Pro Rata Shares, certain amounts at the times
agreed upon, and Borrower hereby repeats its promise to pay such amounts.
	 
	 	(b)	 	As additional compensation to the Lenders, Borrower shall pay to Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in arrears, on the first Business Day of
each month prior to the Maturity Date and on the Maturity Date, a Fee for Borrower’s
non-use of available funds in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum (calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference between
(x) the aggregate Term Loan Commitment for all Lenders and (y) the average for the
period of the daily closing balances of the aggregate Term Loan outstanding during the
period for which such Fee is due.

2.8 Voluntary Prepayments; Reduction or Termination of the Commitments. (a) Borrower may at any
time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon
irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, three Business Days prior thereto, which notice shall specify the date and amount of
prepayment; provided, that if a Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section
2.13. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant
Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount
prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple thereof. Any prepayment which is made as a result of any Default or Event of Default
shall not constitute an optional prepayment for purposes of this Section 2.8. Any voluntary
prepayments shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     (b) Borrower may at any time upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to
Administrative Agent reduce in part, or terminate in full the undrawn portion of the Term Loan
Commitment; provided that any such reduction shall be in an amount of not less than
$25,000,000 and whole multiples of $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount or shall be equal to the
undrawn portion of the Term Loan Commitment).

2.9 Mandatory Prepayments.

	 	(a)	 	If the Borrower or any Credit Party shall consummate an Asset Sale of assets
constituting Collateral, the Borrower shall make a payment (within two (2) Business
Days of receipt) in respect of the Loans, without premium or penalty, in an aggregate
amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Asset Sale by such Credit Party, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement to the extent such proceeds arise from sales of assets constituting
Prepetition ABL Priority Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, all proceeds of
Prepetition ABL Priority Collateral shall first be applied (to the extent required
by the ABL Cash Collateral Order or Prepetition ABL Agreement) to the outstanding
obligations under the

29

 

	 	 	 	Prepetition ABL Agreement or treated in accordance with the
ABL Cash Collateral Order (as applicable, or as otherwise directed by the
Prepetition ABL Agent), and thereafter, only if all obligations under the
Prepetition ABL Agreement have been paid in full, applied pursuant to this Section
2.9.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Borrower shall make a payment in respect of the Loans, without premium or
penalty, in an aggregate amount equal to the gross proceeds received by any Credit
Party relating to insurance in respect of casualty to property constituting Collateral
(which payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof);
provided, that absent the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event
of Default, Borrower may notify Administrative Agent that it intends to use such
insurance proceeds to replace or repair the Collateral with respect to which the
proceeds were received within 180 days after receipt. To the extent that any such
proceeds have not been used within such 180 days, then Borrower shall make the payment
in any such amount in respect of the Loan.

2.10 Continuation Options. Any Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto by Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”
set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan,
Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof. If no such notice is received specifying the length of the next Interest Period, then the
next Interest Period shall equal one (1) month. During the continuance of any Default, the
Interest Period shall equal one (1) month.

2.11 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

	 	(a)	 	All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations
shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim,
free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later
than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at Administrative Agent’s
Principal Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent
after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the
next succeeding Business Day.
	 
	 	(b)	 	All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include all
interest accrued on such principal to the date of repayment.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address
as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of
all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all
other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable
with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent, to repay the
Facility. As to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, all payments and proceeds of Collateral shall be applied, subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to amounts then due and payable in the following
order: first, to fees and Administrative Agent’s

30

 

	 	 	 	expenses reimbursable hereunder, second, to interest on the Term Loans, third, to principal
payments on the Term Loans, fourth, to all other Obligations, including
expenses of Lenders to the extent reimbursable under Section 10.3 until paid in full,
fifth, to the extent required by the Cash Collateral Orders, to the Prepetition
ABL Agent, Prepetition ABL Lenders, Prepetition Term Agent and Prepetition Term
Lenders, and, sixth, to the return of any excess to Borrower;
	 
	 	(d)	 	Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest or
fees hereunder.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower
hereunder that is not made in same day funds by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a
non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by
Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds,
and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt
telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any
payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a
Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest
shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made
until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the
date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate
determined pursuant to Section 2.6 from the date such amount was due and payable until
the date such amount is paid in full.

2.12 Ratable Sharing. As used in this section, “Obligation Category” means the following groups of
Obligations: (a) payments due and owing to Lenders under Sections 5.8, 10.2 or 10.3 hereof or
under any similar sections of any other Loan Documents, (b) interest due and payable in respect of
the Loans and payment due and owing to Lenders under Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, (c) the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans and (d) all other Obligations. Lenders hereby agree
among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, through the exercise of
any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any
right under the Loan Documents or otherwise (other than pursuant to an assignment pursuant to
Section 10.5), or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the
Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of any Obligations in an Obligation
Category that are then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Obligations in
such Obligation Category that are then due and owing to such other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other
Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase
participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation
simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Obligations
in such Obligation Category then due and owing to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of
Obligations in any Obligation Category shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the
aggregate Obligations in such Obligation Category that are then

31

 

due and owing to all of them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such
purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender, those purchases shall be rescinded and
the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender
ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any
and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing
by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of
the participation held by that holder.

2.13 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

	 	(a)	 	If the adoption of or any change in any requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date:

	 	(i)	 	shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded
Taxes covered by Section 2.14 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of such Lender);
	 
	 	(ii)	 	shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or
other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the
determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	shall impose on such Lender any other condition (except for
Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.14 and changes in the rate of tax on
the overall net income of such Lender);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount
that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such
case, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its written demand (together with
reasonably detailed supporting documentation), any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall
promptly notify Borrower in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event
by reason of which it has become so entitled.

	 	(b)	 	If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with
any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or

32

 

	 	 	 	not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as
a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or
such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to
time, after submission by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of a written request therefore (together with reasonably detailed supporting
documentation), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
	 
	 	(c)	 	A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted by any Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section, Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this
Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such
Lender notifies Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a
retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period
of such retroactive effect. The obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

2.14 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

	 	(a)	 	All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or
future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by
any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed
in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a
result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such
Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such
connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed,
delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document), including, but not limited to, the jurisdiction
under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is
located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is
located, and (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in
which the Borrower is located. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender

33

 

	 	 	 	hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and
Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in
the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender
with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section
(other than by reason of any Change in Law having effect after the date such
representations or certifications were made), or (ii) that are United States
withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender
becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor
(if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from
the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for
its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a
certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment
thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to
the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the
required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result
of any such failure.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the
related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender
claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in
the form of Exhibit E and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender
claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on
all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; unless
in either such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such
delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to
it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case
such Lender shall not be required to provide such form described above. Such forms
shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or

34

 

	 	 	 	before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender
shall deliver the appropriate forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any
form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to
provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding
any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally
able to deliver.
	 
	 	(e)	 	A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S.
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or
any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this
Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at
the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower,
such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate,
provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver
such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or
submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.
	 
	 	(f)	 	If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the
Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
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 the Borrower, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required
to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be
construed to require the 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 Borrower or any other Person.
	 
	 	(g)	 	The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.15 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless
from, any loss or expense (but excluding in any event loss of anticipated profit) that such Lender
may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, or
continuation of Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Loans after
the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c)
the making of a prepayment of Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed or
continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow or continue
to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, the
Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the
applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable
Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for
a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any
amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16 Measures to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer
of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event
or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become entitled to receive payments
under Section 2.13 or 2.14, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of
such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a)
make, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions through another office of such Lender, or (b) take
such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances
which would cause the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such
Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such
Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or
Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be,
would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such
other office pursuant to this Section 2.16 unless Borrower (i) agrees to pay all incremental
expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause
(a) above and (ii) increase the amount payable to such Lender as provided in Section 2.14 and
indemnifies each Credit Party as provided in Section 2.14 for all Taxes imposed on such Lender in
excess of such Taxes relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Loan Document or any
payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby in excess of such Taxes imposed on such
Lender prior to the event or the existence of a condition described in this section. A certificate
as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 (setting
forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to
Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that be conclusive absent manifest error.

36

 

2.17 Release. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges effective upon entry of the Final Order, that
no Credit Party has any defense, counterclaim, offset, recoupment, cross-complaint, claim or demand
of any kind or nature whatsoever that can be asserted to reduce or eliminate all of any part of the
Credit Parties’ liability to repay the Administrative Agent or any Lender as provided in this
Agreement or to seek affirmative relief or damages of any kind or nature from Administrative Agent
or any Lender. Each Credit Party, each in their own right and with respect to the other Credit
Parties, on behalf of their bankruptcy estates, and on behalf of all their successors, assigns,

suits, claims, liabilities, Liens, lawsuits, adverse consequences, amounts paid in settlement,
costs, damages, debts, deficiencies, diminution in value, disbursements, expenses, losses and other
obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether in law, equity or otherwise (including,
without limitation, those arising under Sections 541 through 550 of the Bankruptcy Code and
interest or other carrying costs, penalties, legal, accounting and other professional fees and
expenses, and incidental, consequential and punitive damages payable to third parties), whether
known or unknown, fixed or contingent, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted,
foreseen or unforeseen, suspected or unsuspected, now existing or which may heretofore accrue
against any of the Released Parties, whether held in a personal or representative capacity, and
which are based on any act, fact, event or omission or other matter, cause or thing occurring at or
from any time prior to and including the date hereof in any way, directly or indirectly arising out
of, connected with or relating to this Agreement, the Final Order and the transactions contemplated
hereby, and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents and statements
(whether written or oral) related to any of the foregoing.

obligation to make Loans hereunder (a “Defaulting Lender”), with a replacement financial
institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any requirement of law, (ii)
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii)
prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 so as to

Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vii)

(viii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the

the case may be, and (x) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be

to be made thereby, each Credit Party represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and each
Lender, on the Closing Date and on each Borrowing Date, that the following statements are true and
correct:

4.1 No Default. No event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default.

4.2 Organization and Good Standing. Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, having all powers required to

Credit Party is duly qualified, in good standing, and authorized to do business in all other
jurisdictions within the United States wherein the character of the properties owned or held by it
or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such qualification necessary except to the
extent where the failure to be so qualified as in good standing would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or
other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership,
lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except
to the extent that all failures to be duly qualified and in good standing could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3 Authorization. Subject to the Final Order, each Credit Party has duly taken all action
necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by it of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and to authorize the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the
performance of its obligations thereunder. Borrower is duly authorized to borrow funds hereunder.

4.4 No Conflicts or Consents. Subject to entry of the Final Order, the execution and delivery by
the various Credit Parties of the Loan Documents to which each is a party, the performance by each
of its obligations under such Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the various Loan Documents, do not (a) violate with any provision of (i) any Law, except to the
extent that all such violations could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or as could not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, (ii) the Organizational Documents of any Credit Party, or
(iii) any agreement entered into post-petition, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or
binding upon any Credit Party except to the extent such violations could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) result in the acceleration of any Indebtedness owed by any
Credit Party, or (c) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon any assets or properties of
any Credit Party, except in each case as expressly contemplated in the Loan Documents and, except
in the case of clauses (a)(iii), (b) and (c) of this Section 4.4, such conflicts, results or
requirements as arise in connection with the filing, prosecution and resolution of the Case.
Except for the entry of the Final Order, and except as expressly contemplated in the Loan
Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any
Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or

and complete copies of the Current Financial Statements. Subject to normal year-end adjustments

Current Financial Statements or disclosed in Schedule 4.7, no Credit Party is subject to or
restricted by any franchise, contract, deed, charter restriction, or other instrument or
restriction which is materially likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8 Full Disclosure. As of the date of delivery, no certificate, statement or other information
delivered herewith or heretofore by any Credit Party to any Lender in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby contains as
of the date of such certificates, statement or information was so furnished, and taken as a whole)
any untrue statement of a material fact omits to state any material fact known to any Credit Party
(other than industry-wide risks normally associated with the types of businesses conducted by the
Credit Parties) necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially
misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements are made as of the date
made or deemed made. The projections and forward-looking financial information contained in the
materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by
management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being acknowledged and agreed by
the Lenders that (a) such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed
as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information
may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount, (b) the financial and
business projections furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies, which may be beyond the control of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, (c) no assurances are given by any of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries that the
results forecasted in the projections will be realized and (d) the actual results may differ from
the forecasted results in such projections and such differences may be material. There is no fact
known to any Credit Party (other than industry-wide risks normally associated with the types of
businesses conducted by the Credit Parties) that has not been disclosed to each Lender which is
materially likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Current Financial Statements or in Schedule 4.9
and except for the Case: there are no actions, suits or legal, equitable, arbitrative or

42

 

administrative proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party threatened, against any
Group Member before any Governmental Authority (i) which if adversely decided could cause a
Material Adverse Effect or (ii) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member

employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any
other applicable requirement of law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any
Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

4.11 ERISA Plans and Liabilities. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11 or arising from the
Case, (i) neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to meet the minimum funding standards under the
Pension Funding Rules has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan or, to the knowledge
of the Borrower, with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, and each Plan has complied except where
the failure to have complied could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; (ii) no termination of a Single Employer Plan
has occurred, and (iii) no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year
period. Except as disclosed in the Borrower’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as of
December 31, 2008, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based
on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior
to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of
such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan
that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a liability under ERISA that could
reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly
Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such
Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the
valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made
except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing
Date, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or
Insolvent.

administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law
with respect to the Properties or the Business;

Documents.

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) which are necessary to carry out its business as
presently conducted and material to the business of the Credit Parties, taken as a whole.

amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the
relevant Group Member) except to the extent that the failure to file such tax returns or pay such
taxes, fees or other charges could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.1(a)(i) shall not include Avoidance Actions but shall be subject to the
Carve Out. Such Lien shall not extend to Avoidance Actions except proceeds

subject to the Carve Out, but otherwise shall be senior in priority to the
adequate protection Liens securing the obligations in favor of the Prepetition
Term Lender under the Prepetition Term Loan Agreement and all other Liens other
than Permitted Liens, entitled to priority under applicable nonbankruptcy law.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	All amounts expended for Priority Professional Expenses from
and after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall reduce the Professional
Expense Cap dollar for dollar. The security interests securing the Obligations

instruments and documents in recordable form as Administrative Agent or any Lender may
reasonably request. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative
Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any UCC
jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate
the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Credit Party or words of similar effect,
regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the
scope of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of Delaware or such other jurisdiction, or
(ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any
other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of the State of Delaware

Credit Party is an organization, the type of organization and any organization
identification number issued to such Credit Party and, (ii) in the case of a
financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real
property to which the Collateral relates. Such Credit Party agrees to furnish any
such information to Administrative Agent promptly upon Administrative Agent’s
request. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.1(b), the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have the benefits of the Final Order as set forth in
Section 3.1(l) hereof.

Reorganization (other than a Plan of Reorganization which includes indefeasible payment
of the Obligations in full in cash) (and Borrower and each Guarantor, pursuant to
Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waive any such discharge (except to
the extent such discharge is a result of payment of the Obligations in full in cash),
and (ii) the Superpriority Claim granted to the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties pursuant to the Final Order and the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties pursuant to the Final Order and the Security Documents shall
not be affected in any manner by the entry of an order confirming such Plan of
Reorganization, in each case unless otherwise agreed to by the Lenders.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Guarantees. The Obligations shall be guaranteed by each Domestic Subsidiary
(direct or indirect) of the Borrower that is a debtor in the Case pursuant to the terms
of the Guaranty. The Borrower shall notify the Lenders of the acquisition or formation
of any new Domestic Subsidiary prior to such acquisition or formation. Borrower shall,
at the request of the Required Lenders, promptly, and in any event within ten (10)

debtor in the Case to (i) execute and deliver to each of the Lenders and Administrative
Agent a guaranty which is substantially in the form of the Guaranty and which is
satisfactory to the Required Lenders in all respects and (ii) execute and deliver to
each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent all other documents and instruments,
including, without limitation, the items set forth in Section 5.12, corporate authority

Obligations”).

	 	(ii)	 	Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be

established in Section 7.2(b)).
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and
from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor
hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 7.2 or
affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder.

or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time
in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify,
reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder
which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by
such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or
collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for
the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until
the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

	 	(b)	 	Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a
Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made

such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Section 7.2(c). The provisions of this Section 7.2(b) shall in no
respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative

any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the

69

 

	 	 	 	Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise any
of its rights, if any, obtained pursuant to being subrogated to any of the rights of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor
or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the

If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights
at any time when all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations for which no claims has been asserted) shall not have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor,
and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the
Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by
such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the
Obligations.

	 	(d)	 	Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain
obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be
rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Obligations
continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any
part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with
respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,

Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent
(or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from
time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time
held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may
be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien
at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained
in this Section 7.2 or any property subject thereto.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice
of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of
or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 7.2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section
7.2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended,

70

 

	 	 	 	amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 7.2; and
all dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 7.2. Each Guarantor waives but only during the term of
this Agreement (except with respect to such rights as are required by applicable law
and cannot be waived) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice
of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with
respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee
contained in this Section 7.2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations
or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of
payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the
Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the
Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute,
an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such
Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 7.2, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights
and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender
may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise
pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for
the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor
or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or
to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any
Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and
continuance of any legal proceedings.

	 	(f)	 	Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 7.2 shall continue to
be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or
as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee
or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or

71

 

	 	 	 	any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

	 	(g)	 	Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be
paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim (other than for the
defense of payment or performance) in Dollars at the office of the Administrative
Agent.

Event of Default and the basis therefor and informing such parties that the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders intend to exercise their remedies under the Final Order, the Security Documents and
hereunder five (5) Business Days after the Credit Parties’ receipt of such notice (the “Remedies
Notice Period”). During such Remedies Notice Period, the Credit Parties and the Creditors’
Committee have the right to seek an emergency hearing before the Bankruptcy Court for the sole
purpose of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred; provided, that during the
Remedies Notice Period, the Credit Parties may use cash collateral in accordance with the terms and

faith judgment of the Credit Parties, to be paid at such time for the preservation of the debtors
in the Case and their estates, and as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and, as
applicable, the Prepetition Term Agent and/or Prepetition ABL Agent, in their sole discretion.

8.3 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence or during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent or any Secured

75

 

Party, as the case may be, receives any monies in connection with the enforcement of any the
Security Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such
monies shall be distributed for application as follows, in each case, subject to Carve Out and the
priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement so that the obligations of Credit Parties under
the ABL Credit Agreement shall first be paid or provision for payment thereof shall be made from
proceeds of Prepetition ABL Priority Collateral, and otherwise to be applied first to the
Obligations:

the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting

Term Loan Agreement; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full, to the Credit Parties or as otherwise required by Law.

applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of
the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed
any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Group Member or any
Credit Party.

9.2 Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies

76

 

hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and
remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have only those
duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Loan Documents. The
Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or
through its agents or employees. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any
of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein
or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed
as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other
Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

     9.3 General Immunity.

	 	(a)	 	No Responsibility for Certain Matters. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness,
validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan
Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or
therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other
statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or
made by the Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of
any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor
shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or
agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of
the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or
Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the
component amounts thereof.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent nor any of
its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender or
any Credit Party for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or
in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by the
Administrative Agent’s or any of officers’, directors’, employees’ or agents’ gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an
action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise
of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from
Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions
under Section 10.4) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or
such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative

77

 

	 	 	 	Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to
exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled
to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys
(who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and
other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting
hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of
Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions
under Section 10.4).

9.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect
any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent
in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder, if applicable. With respect to its participation
in the Loans, if any, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions
delegated to it hereunder, and, to the extent the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the term
“Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in
its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial
advisory or other business with any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates as if it were not
performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Credit
Parties for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to
Lenders.

9.5 Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

	 	(a)	 	Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries
in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue
to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
The Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of
Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect
thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any
time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility
with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to
Lenders.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and funding its
Loan on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and
consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document

78

 

	 	 	 	required to be approved by the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as
applicable on the Closing Date.

9.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have been
reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and
disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or
performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as
the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, INCLUDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR IMPOSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY LAW PROVIDING FOR STRICT LIABILITY,
provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished
to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be
insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and
cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is
furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the
Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment,
suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and
provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to
indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty,
action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately
preceding sentence.

9.7 Successor Agents. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’
prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower, and Administrative Agent may be removed at
any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to
Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of
resignation or any such removal, Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’
notice to Borrower, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to the Borrower consent
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and
other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the
successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

79

 

9.8 Security Documents and Guaranty.

	 	(a)	 	Agents under Security Documents and Guaranty. Each Lender hereby
further authorizes Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to
be the agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to the Guaranty. Each
Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the
benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to
the Collateral and the Security Documents. Subject to Section 10.4, without further
written consent or authorization from Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent may
execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Lien encumbering any item
of Collateral that is the subject of an asset sale permitted under Section 6.5 or to
which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders and other Persons as may be required to
give such consent under Section 10.4) have otherwise consented. Subject to Section
10.4, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, the Administrative
Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Guarantor from
the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.2 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such
other Lenders or other Persons as may be required to give such consent under Section
10.4) have otherwise consented.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything
contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower,
Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it
being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent (and only at the request or consent of the
Required Lenders), as applicable, in each case on behalf of Lenders in accordance with
the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may
be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure
by the Administrative Agent (which shall be only at the request or consent of the
Required Lenders) on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such
Collateral at any such sale and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and
representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their
respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in
writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment
of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public
sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication
herein required or permitted to be given to a Credit Party or Administrative Agent shall be sent to
such Person’s address as set forth on Appendix B or in the other relevant Loan Document, and in the
case of any Lender, the address as indicated on Appendix B or otherwise indicated to Administrative
Agent and Borrower in writing. Each notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally
served, e-mailed or sent by telefacsimile or United

80

 

States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or
by courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile or e-mail
confirmation, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage
prepaid and properly addressed.

10.2 Expenses. Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its
reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and
the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
the reasonable documented fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent (and
such other conflicts, local and foreign local counsel as shall be reasonably required by the
Administrative Agent), one financial advisor, appraisers, accountants, agents and consultants to
the Administrative Agent, and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect
to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts
to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a monthly basis or such other
periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each
Lender and the Administrative Agent for its reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs-and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and reasonable documented
out-of-pocket disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house
counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, financial advisors, appraisers,
accountants, agents and consultants to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold
each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and
any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and
other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions
contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or
in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents. Statements
payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be submitted to Eric D. Sachs, Treasurer
(Telephone No. 734-710-2000) (Telecopy No. 734-727-9481) (Email address: esachs@visteon.com), at
the address of Borrower set forth in Section 10.1, or to such other Person or address as may be
hereafter designated by Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in
this Section 10.2 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnification provided under this Section 10.2 shall be
without duplication of any amounts under Sections 2.15, 10.3 or otherwise.

10.3 Indemnity, WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

	 	(a)	 	In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 10.2, each Credit
Party agrees, jointly and severally, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the
Administrative Agent and their respective officers, partners, directors, employees,
Affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and
against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature

81

 

	 	 	 	whatsoever relating to or arising out of the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any
such other documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including any of
the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the
operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable
documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel in connection with
claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Credit Party under any
Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (a), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower and each other Credit Party shall
have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (i) have resulted from the
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (ii) have
resulted from the breach by such Indemnitee in respect of such Indemnitee’s
obligations under the facility, or (iii) have arisen from a dispute solely between
Lenders and not involving the Administrative Agent or the Borrower; provided
further that such reimbursement obligations shall be limited to one counsel for the
Administrative Agent and one counsel for the Lenders (and, as reasonably determined
by the Administrative Agent, one or more local counsel) unless there is a conflict
of interest with respect to a particular Indemnitee, in which case such Indemnitee
shall be reimbursed for its own counsel. To the extent that the undertakings to
defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be
unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public
policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is
permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of
all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. Without limiting
the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees
not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and
agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other
rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature,
under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee. If any suit, action, proceeding, claim or demand
shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnitee (other than the Administrative
Agent) with respect to the matters covered by the Borrower’s indemnification in this
Agreement, (i) such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof;
provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide such notice shall
not affect Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent
that Borrower was prejudiced by the failure to provide prompt notice; and (ii) to
the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest or other duties binding on it,
such Indemnitee shall work cooperatively with the Borrower with a view toward
minimizing the legal and other expenses associated with any defense and any
potential settlement or judgment, which cooperation shall include (A) the use of a
single counsel selected by such Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower
(so long as such Indemnitee, in its reasonable judgment, does not believe that the
use of a single

82

 

	 	 	 	counsel is not reasonably practicable or, based on the advice of counsel,
disadvantageous from a legal perspective) and (B) regular consultation with the
Borrower (and, to the extent a single counsel is not used, its counsel) upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower with regard to the management of any litigation
and the negotiation of any potential settlement, in order to afford the Borrower
(and, to the extent a single counsel is not used, its counsel) reasonable
opportunities to participate in the consideration of material decisions with respect
thereto. All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable not later than 30
days after written demand therefor (together with reasonably detailed supporting
documentation).
	 
	 	(b)	 	TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO PARTY HERETO SHALL ASSERT, AND
EACH HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY CREDIT
PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES,
ATTORNEYS OR AGENTS, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) (WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM
THEREFOR IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR DUTY IMPOSED BY ANY APPLICABLE LEGAL
REQUIREMENT) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF, AS A RESULT OF, OR IN
ANY WAY RELATED TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, ANY
LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OR EVENT FROM TIME TO
TIME OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES
AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH CLAIM OR ANY SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED
AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER
WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND
THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY GIVES THIS WAIVER FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL
COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY
OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS
SECTION 10.3 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY
TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR TO ANY
OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE
LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.

83

 

10.4 Amendments and Waivers; Consents.

	 	(a)	 	Required Lenders’ Consent; Notice to Creditors’ Committee. Subject to
Sections 10.4(b), 10.4(c), 10.4(d) and 10.4(e), no amendment, modification, termination
or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any
Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence
of the Required Lenders. In addition, any amendment, modification or supplement of or
to the Loan Documents shall require advance notice to the Creditors’ Committee and the
United States Trustee.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender
that would be directly affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or
consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

	 	(i)	 	extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note, or
grant any forbearance or similar accommodation that would preclude such Lender
from being able to enforce repayment of its Loan at scheduled final maturity;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver
of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section
2.6 or waiver of any Event of Default or Default) or any fee payable hereunder
or under the Fee Letter;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	reduce the principal amount of such Lender’s Loan;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section
10.4(b) or Section 10.4(a), 10.4(c), or 10.4(d);
	 
	 	(v)	 	amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”;
or
	 
	 	(vi)	 	release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than
assets sales permitted by Section 6.5 and use of cash collateral pursuant to
the Cash Collateral Orders) or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from
the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

	 	(c)	 	Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of
any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party
therefrom, shall:

	 	(i)	 	increase any Commitment of such Lender over the amount thereof
then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no
amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default
or Event of Default shall be deemed to constitute an increase in any Commitment
of any Lender; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as
the same applies to Administrative Agent, or any other provision hereof as the
same applies to the rights or obligations of Administrative Agent, in each case
without the consent of Administrative Agent.

84

 

	 	(d)	 	Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have
no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments,
modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any
Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in
accordance with this Section 10.4 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time
outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

10.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

	 	(a)	 	Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and the successors and assigns of Administrative Agent and Lenders. No Credit
Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or
delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders.
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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates and
Indemnitees of each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Register. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and
treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the
corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no
assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case,
unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof
shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the
Register as provided in Section 10.5(e) and the Administrative Agent shall accept and
record any assignment complying with Sections 10.5(c) and 10.5(d). Prior to such
recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall
be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request,
authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving
such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive
and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding
Commitments or Loans.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell,
assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it
or other Obligation (provided, however, that each such assignment shall
be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in
respect of any Loan and any related Commitments):

85

 

	 	(i)	 	to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (x) or (y) of the
definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to
Borrower and Administrative Agent; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	to any other Person, with the consent of the Borrower so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such assignment pursuant to this
Section 10.5(c) (or, in the case of Related Funds simultaneously purchasing
such assigned interests, then aggregate Loan amounts purchased by such Related
Funds) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $2,000,000 (or such
lesser amount as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent or as shall
constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Loans of the assigning
Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Commitments and/or Loans.

	 	(d)	 	Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute
and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with (i) a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except that only one fee shall be payable in
the case of contemporaneous assignments to Related Funds), and (ii) such forms,
certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income
tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required
to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and
completed Assignment Agreement, together with the processing and recordation fee
referred to in Section 10.5(d) (and any forms, certificates or other evidence required
by this Agreement in connection therewith), Administrative Agent shall record the
information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt
notice thereof to Borrower and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon
execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement,
as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the
applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i)
it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or
investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the
case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments
or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view
to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act or other United securities Laws (it being understood that, subject
to the provisions of this Section 10.5, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or
any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

86

 

	 	(g)	 	Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 10.5, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment
Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a
“Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party
hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby
pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights
which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.7) and be released from its
obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the
remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of
the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall
continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein
with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender
as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the
applicable Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if
any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder,
the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly
thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for
cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested
by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning
Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding
Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell
one or more participations to any Person (other than Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other
Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the
Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to
take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment,
modification or waiver that would require the consent of all affected Lenders under
Section 10.4(b). Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section;
provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.13 and 2.14 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 Borrower’s prior written consent
and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of
Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

87

 

	 	(i)	 	Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment
permitted pursuant to this Section 10.5, (i) any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or
any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its
Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender to any Person, including any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such
Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as among Borrower and such Lender,
shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such
assignment and pledge, and provided, further, in no event shall the
applicable Federal Reserve Bank or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be
entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

10.6 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that
if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it
would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another
covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken
or condition exists.

10.7 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements; Termination.

	 	(a)	 	All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the
execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding
anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party
set forth in Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.20 and the agreements of
Lenders set forth in Sections 2.12, 9.3, 9.6 and 10.16 shall survive the payment of the
Loans and the termination hereof.
	 
	 	(b)	 	At any time when no Obligations are then owing, the Borrower may elect in a
written notice delivered to Administrative Agent to terminate this Agreement. Upon the
proper receipt by Administrative Agent of such a notice at such a time, then this
Agreement and all Security Documents shall thereupon be terminated, except to the
extent provided otherwise in Section 10.7(a) of this Agreement or in any similar
provision of any Security Document that expressly provides for the survival of
specified provisions thereof. At the request and expense of Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall prepare and execute all necessary instruments to reflect and
effect such termination and the release of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent is
hereby authorized to execute all such instruments on behalf of all Lenders, without the
joinder of or further action by any Lender.

10.8 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default
or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.
The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby are
cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing
by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan

88

 

Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power
or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver
thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.9 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be
under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or
against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes
a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Lenders), or the Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or
exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party
under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied,
and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred.

10.10 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction,
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.11 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders
hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any
other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action
taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at
any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall
be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for
any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.12 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and
shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.13 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION IS EXPRESSLY
ELECTED IN A LOAN DOCUMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW §5-1401 AND §5-1402) AND ANY
APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING THE BANKRUPTCY CODE).

89

 

10.14 CONSENT TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE
BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT OR (SUBJECT TO THE ENTRY OF AN APPROPRIATE ORDER BY THE BANKRUPTCY
COURT) IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW
YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (a) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (b) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (c) AGREES
THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR
CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (d) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (c) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT
TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT,
AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (e) AGREES
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDERS AND CREDIT PARTIES RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER
MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY
OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS
LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS
WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT
AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS,
BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT
EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE
TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND
REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A
MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.15 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS

90

 

HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE
LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT
TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.16 Confidentiality.

	 	(a)	 	Each Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that it will take all reasonable
steps to keep confidential any proprietary information regarding each Credit Party and
its business identified as confidential by such Credit Party and obtained by such
Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof, it being understood and agreed by such
Credit Party that, in any event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information
to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons
authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in
connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.16)
(provided, such counterparties and advisors are advised of an agree to be bound by the
provisions of this Section 10.16), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably
required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in
connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender
of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual
counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Swap Agreements
(provided, such counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be
bound by the provisions of this Section 10.16), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency
when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency
shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential
information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from Administrative Agent or
any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or
representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process;
provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each
Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify such Credit Party of any request by any
Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in
connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination
of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public
information prior to disclosure of such information.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Credit Parties shall consult with each other
before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided,
however, that if any Credit Party has made a commercially reasonable effort to
contact Administrative Agent and Lenders regarding a disclosure and has been unable to
arrange the consultation referred to above prior to a public disclosure deadline
established by Law or by the rules of any stock exchange where Borrower’s securities
trade, then the public disclosure may be made without such consultation to the extent
required by such Law or by such rules. No such Person shall issue any such press
release or make any public statement without the

91

 

	 	 	 	agreement of the other parties, except as may be required by applicable Law or the
rules of any stock exchange where Borrower’s securities trade.

10.17 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest
rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection
therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law, shall not exceed the Highest
Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under
this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans
made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest
due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates
of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the
Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the
increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due
hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in
effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount
equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would
have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury
laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which
constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled
automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding
amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower.

10.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, all of which when so executed shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery by electronic transmission of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof.

10.19 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart
hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or
telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

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

10.21 Order. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of any of the Loan
Documents and the Final Order, the provisions of the Final Order shall govern and control.
