REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of January 29, 2010
by and among R.H. Donnelley Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each
Eligible Holder. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in
Section 13.

     WHEREAS, the Company and all of its subsidiaries are parties to a Joint Plan of
Reorganization, dated as of October 21, 2010, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware, case no. 09-11833 (jointly administered) under the Bankruptcy Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Plan”);

     WHEREAS, the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Plan, to
issue (i) to holders of the unsecured notes of the Company and its subsidiaries (the
“Noteholders”) up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) to holders of
the 5 7/8% Senior Notes due 2011 and 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2010 of Dex Media West LLC, a
subsidiary of the Company, new unsecured notes issued by the Company in an initial aggregate
principal amount of $300 million (including any such notes issued as payment-in-kind interest, the
“New Notes” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”); and

     WHEREAS, the Company has agreed, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Plan, to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws with respect to the Securities.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

     1. Demand Registrations. 

          (a) Requests for Registration. At any time beginning six (6) months after the
Effective Date, any Eligible Holder may request (a “Demand Request”) registrations of
Underwritten Offerings under the Securities Act of (i) its Common Registrable Securities if the
total offering price of the Common Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering (before
deduction for underwriting discounts) exceeds $20 million or (ii) its Note Registrable Securities
if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering
(before deduction for underwriting discounts) exceeds $30 million (each of (i) and (ii), a
“Demand Registration”). Any Demand Registration shall be on Form S-3 or any similar
short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”), if available, and on Form S-1 or any
similar long-form registration if the Company is ineligible to use a Short-Form Registration. A
Demand Request may be a demand for Shelf Registration (effected pursuant to Section 1(c))
if the Company does not, at the time of such Demand Registration in accordance with this
Section 1(a), have an effective Shelf Registration on file with the Commission.

          (b) Demand Notices. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving
written notice to the Company (the “Demand Notice”). Each Demand Notice shall specify the
approximate amount of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the expected price
range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) acceptable to the Eligible

1

 

Holders making the demand. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Demand Notice,
the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other Eligible Holders
of the applicable Registrable Securities (the “Company Notice”) and, subject to the
provisions of Section 1(c), shall include in such registration all Common Registrable
Securities (in the case of a Demand Request regarding Common Registrable Securities) or Notes
Registrable Securities (in the case of a Demand Request with respect to Notes Registrable
Securities) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein
from the Eligible Holders within twenty (20) days after sending the Company Notice.

          (c) Shelf Registration.

               (i) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, following the filing with the
Commission of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, the
Company shall file a Shelf Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities
held by Eligible Holders on a delayed or continuous basis. The Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective within
seventy-five (75) days after such filing. If the Company is eligible to file the Shelf
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (“Form S-3 Shelf”), it shall file on Form S-3; if not,
the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”)
and, together with the Form S-3 Shelf, the “Shelf”). If the Company shall file a Form S-1
Shelf, the Company shall convert the Form S-1 Shelf to a Form S-3 Shelf after the Company is
eligible to use Form S-3. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Shelf continuously effective (subject to any Shelf Suspension Period) in order to permit the
Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Eligible Holders until all Registrable Securities
covered by the Shelf have been sold pursuant to the Shelf or cease to be outstanding.

               (ii) The Company may amend the Shelf from time to time to include other securities issued by
the Company or its subsidiaries, whether or not such securities are, at such time, Registrable
Securities.

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Eligible Holder may include any of
its Registrable Securities in a sale covered by the Shelf unless the Eligible Holder provides to
the Company a fully completed notice and questionnaire in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit A hereto (the “Questionnaire”) and such other information in writing as is
customary and as may reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the filing of, and
any sales of Registrable Securities under, the Shelf. The Company shall not be required to amend a
Shelf (or the related Prospectus) to add or change the disclosure regarding selling securityholders
(x) more than once in any rolling 30-day period or (y) during a Shelf Suspension Period, but shall
take such actions to so amend a Shelf (or Related Prospectus) promptly after the expiration of such
period.

               (iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the limitation set forth
in the next succeeding paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to suspend its obligation to file
any Shelf Registration Statement, file any amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, furnish
any supplement or amendment to a Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, make any
other filing with the Commission, cause the Shelf Registration

2

 

Statement or other filing with the Commission to become or remain effective or take any
similar action (collectively, “Shelf Registration Actions”) upon (A) the issuance by the
Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the
initiation of proceedings with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or
8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact as a
result of which the Shelf Registration Statement would, in the good faith determination of the
Company, reasonably be expected to or shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or the related Prospectus would, in the good faith determination of the
Company, reasonably be expected to or shall include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) the
Company determining, in its reasonable discretion and in good faith, that (x) the occurrence or
pendency of any corporate development, including any financing, offering, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or other significant transaction, or any negotiations, discussions or pending
proposals with respect thereto, involving the Company or any of its direct or indirect
subsidiaries, or (y) the Company possesses material nonpublic information the disclosure of which
would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan of the
Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (clause (x) and (y),
collectively, a “Valid Business Reason”) that in any case makes it appropriate to postpone
or suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus;
provided, however, that the Company shall not register any securities for its own
account or that of any other stockholder during such period of postponement or suspension;
provided, further, that the Company shall restrict the trading of the Company’s
securities by the Company’s directors and executive officers during such period of postponement or
suspension. Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in (A), (B) or (C) above, the
Company shall give prompt notice of the Valid Business Reason (a “Shelf Suspension Notice”)
to the Eligible Holders. Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Eligible Holders and shall promptly proceed with all Shelf Registration
Actions that were postponed or suspended pursuant to this paragraph.

     The Company may only suspend Shelf Registration Actions pursuant to the preceding paragraph
for one or more periods (each, a “Shelf Suspension Period”) not exceed more than ninety
(90) consecutive days or more than one-hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate in any
twelve-month period. Each Shelf Suspension Period shall be deemed to begin on the date the
relevant Shelf Suspension Notice is given to the Eligible Holders and shall be deemed to end on the
earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company gives the Eligible Holders a notice that the
Shelf Suspension Period has terminated and (ii) the date on which the number of days during which a
Shelf Suspension Period has been in effect exceeds, in the aggregate, one-hundred eighty (180) days
in any twelve-month period.

          (d) Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand
Registration any securities which are not Common Registrable Securities or Notes Registrable
Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Common Registrable
Securities or Notes Registrable Securities, as the case may be, initially requesting registration
and included in such Demand Registration. In a Demand Registration Underwritten Offering where the
managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that,

3

 

after consultation with the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially
requesting registration, the amount of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other
securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of Registrable Securities
and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a
price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities initially
requesting registration, the Company shall include in such registration the amount of Registrable
Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, which in the reasonable
discretion of such underwriter, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such
offering, pro rata among the respective Eligible Holders of such Registrable Securities based upon
the percentage of such Eligible Holder’s Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten
Offering, and (ii) second, other securities requested to be included in such registration
to the extent permitted hereunder.

          (e) Restrictions on Registrations.

               (i) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration (x) within
one-hundred fifty (150) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration with
respect to with respect to the same class of Registrable Securities, or a previous registration in
which the holders of Registrable Securities exercised piggyback rights pursuant to Section
2 with respect to the same class of Registrable Securities, or (y) which does not involve a
total offering price of Common Registrable Securities (before deduction for underwriting discounts)
of at least $20 million or which does not involve an aggregate principal amount of Notes
Registrable Securities (before deduction for underwriting discounts) of at least $30 million. In
addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration during the period
starting with the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the
date of filing of, and ending on the date that is one-hundred eighty (180) days after the effective
date of, a Company initiated underwritten primary registration with respect to the same class of
Registrable Securities, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such underwritten primary registration to become
effective. In the event of any such suspension or delay, the holders of Registrable Securities
initially requesting a Demand Registration that is suspended or delayed by operation of this
Section 1(e)(i) shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is
withdrawn, the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration.

               (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the
limitation set forth in the next succeeding paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to suspend its
obligation to file any Registration Statement in connection with a Demand Registration, file any
amendment to such a Registration Statement, furnish any supplement or amendment to a Prospectus
included in such a Registration Statement, make any other filing with the Commission, cause the
such a Registration Statement or other filing with the Commission to become or remain effective or
take any similar action (collectively, “Demand Registration Actions”) upon (A) the issuance
by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement in
connection with a Demand Registration or the initiation of proceedings with respect to such a
Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any
event or the existence of any fact as a result of

4

 

which the Registration Statement in connection with a Demand Registration would, in the good
faith determination of the Company, reasonably be expected to or shall contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or the related Prospectus would, in the good faith
determination of the Company, reasonably be expected to or shall include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, or (C) the Company determining, in its reasonable discretion and in good faith, that a
Valid Business Reason makes it appropriate to postpone or suspend the availability of the
Registration Statement in connection with a Demand Registration and the related Prospectus;
provided, however, that the Company shall not register any securities for its own
account or that of any other stockholder during such period of postponement or suspension;
provided, further, that the Company shall restrict the trading of the Company’s
securities by the Company’s directors and executive officers during such period of postponement or
suspension. Upon the occurrence of any of the conditions described in (A), (B) or (C) above, the
Company shall give prompt notice (a “Demand Suspension Notice”) thereof to the Eligible
Holders. Upon the termination of such condition, the Company shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Eligible Holders and shall promptly proceed with all Demand Registration Actions that were
postponed or suspended pursuant to this paragraph.

     The Company may only suspend Demand Registration Actions pursuant to the preceding paragraph
for one or more periods (each, a “Demand Suspension Period”) not exceed more than ninety
(90) consecutive days or more than one-hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate in any
twelve-month period. Each Demand Suspension Period shall be deemed to begin on the date the
relevant Demand Suspension Notice is given to the Eligible Holders and shall be deemed to end on
the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Company gives the Eligible Holders a notice that
the Demand Suspension Period has terminated and (ii) the date on which the number of days during
which a Demand Suspension Period has been in effect exceeds, in the aggregate, one-hundred eighty
(180) days in any twelve-month period. If the Company shall so postpone or suspend the filing of a
Registration Statement in connection with a Demand Registration hereunder, the Eligible Holders of
Registrable Securities shall (A) have the right, in the case of a postponement of the filing or
effectiveness of such a Registration Statement, upon the affirmative vote of holders of not less
than a majority of the Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration, to
withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within ten (10) days
after receipt of such notice (and, if such request is withdrawn, the Company shall pay all
Registration Expenses in connection with such registration), or (B) in the case of a suspension of
the right to make sales, receive an extension of the registration period equal to the number of
days of the suspension.

          (f) Selection of Underwriters. The holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1 (but not any
Piggyback Registration) shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to
administer any Underwritten Offering thereunder (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable
nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s approval (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5

 

          (g) Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a
party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other
Person with respect to any securities of the Company and to the extent that the Company grants
registration rights to any other Person with respect to any securities of the Company which are
superior to the registration rights granted herein, the Company shall also grant rights comparable
in all material respects to such superior rights to each Eligible Holder.

          (h) Cancellation of Registration. The holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities participating in a Demand Registration shall have the right to cancel such proposed
Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 1 when, (i) in their reasonable discretion,
market conditions are so unfavorable as to be seriously detrimental to an offering pursuant to such
registration or (ii) the request for cancellation is based upon, in the reasonable determination of
such holders, material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the
information known to such holders at the time of the Demand Request.

          (i) Company Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Company shall not be in breach of, or failed to comply with, any obligation under this
Agreement where the Company acts or omits to take any action (i) in order to comply with applicable
law, any interpretation of the staff of the Commission or any order or decree of any court or
governmental agency or (ii) in good faith for a Valid Business Reason.

     2. Piggyback Registrations. 

          (a) Right to Piggyback. Other than as contemplated by Section 1(c), whenever
the Company proposes to register any of its securities, or proposes to offer any of its registered
securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Takedown”), under the
Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Demand Registration) and the registration form to be used
may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”),
the Company shall give prompt written notice to all Eligible Holders of Registrable Securities of
its intention to effect such a registration or Shelf Takedown, as applicable (which notice shall be
given not less than twenty (20) days prior to the expected effective date of the Piggyback
Registration), and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) and Section
2(c) , include in such registration or Shelf Takedown, as applicable, all Registrable
Securities of Eligible Holders of the same class of Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf
Takedown with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein
within twenty (20) days after sending the Company’s notice. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine not to proceed with a
registration or Shelf Takedown which is the subject of such notice, provided that prompt
notice of such determination is provided to all Eligible Holders of Registrable Securities of the
same class subject to the registration or Shelf Takedown, as the case may be. For the avoidance of
doubt, no holder of Registrable Securities shall have any rights with respect to any Registration
Statement filed by the Company on Form S-8, Form S-4 (or any successor form).

          (b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten
primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that, in their reasonable discretion, the amount of securities requested to be sold
pursuant to such Piggyback Registration exceeds the amount which can be

6

 

sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the
Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration the amount of securities which can be so sold
in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell,
(ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback
Registration, pro rata among the respective Eligible Holders based upon the percentage of such
Eligible Holder’s Registrable Securities requested to be included therein and (iii) third, other
securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration.

          (c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities, and the
managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the amount of securities
requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in an
orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting
such Piggyback Registration, the Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration the amount
which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities
requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such Piggyback Registration and the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration, pro rata among the
holders of any such securities on the basis of the amount of securities so requested to be included
therein owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be
included in such Piggyback Registration.

          (d) Selection of Underwriters. Other than as contemplated by Section 1(c), if
any Piggyback Registration is a primary Underwritten Offering, the Company will have the right to
select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering.

          (e) Other Registrations. If the Company has previously filed a Registration Statement
with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1(a) or pursuant to this
Section 2, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, the
Company shall not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity
securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities
under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8, Form S-4 or any successor forms), whether on its own
behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least
120 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.

          (f) No Impact on Demand Registration. No registration pursuant to this Section
2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to register Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Demand Request, as contemplated by Section 1. The rights to Piggyback Registration may be
exercised by Eligible Holders on an unlimited number of occasions.

     3. Holdback Agreements. 

          (a) Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Eligible Holder hereby agrees that it
will not effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of Common
Stock or New Notes, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, as applicable, (i) during (A) the ten (10) days prior to and the 90-day period
beginning on the effective date of the registration of such Registrable Securities in connection
with an Underwritten Offering or (B) such shorter period as the underwriters participating in

7

 

such Underwritten Offering may require, and (ii) upon notice from the Company of the
commencement of an underwritten distribution in connection with any Shelf Registration, during (A)
ten (10) days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of commencement of such
distribution or (B) such shorter period as the underwriters participating in such underwritten
distribution may require (each, a “Lock-Up Period”), in each case except as part of such
Underwritten Registration, and in each case (w) only if the underwriters managing the registered
public offering request such Lock-Up Period, (x) only if such Lock-Up Period is applicable to the
Company, (y) in the case of Common Stock where the Company is not offering any shares of Common
Stock, only if the Lock-Up Period is applicable to each holder of 10% or more of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock and to all of the executive officers and directors of the Company (in the
case of executive officers and directors, subject to customary exceptions) and (z) in the case of
Common Stock where the Company is offering any shares of Common Stock, the Lock-Up Period is
applicable to the executive officers and directors of the Company (subject to customary
exceptions); provided, however, that the Lock-Up Period shall only apply to the
class of Registrable Securities which are being offered pursuant to such Underwritten Offering or
distribution, or such Shelf Registration, as the case may be. Each holder of Registrable
Securities agrees to execute a lock-up agreement in favor of the Company’s underwriters in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Company’s underwriters to such effect and,
in any event, that the Company’s underwriters in any relevant offering shall be third party
beneficiaries of this Section 3(a). The lock-up restrictions set forth in this Section
3(a) will no longer apply to an Eligible Holder once such Eligible Holder, together with its
Affiliates, holds less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.

          (b) The Company. The Company shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its
equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-8, Form S-4 or any successor forms), during
(i) with respect to any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration or any Piggyback
Registration in which the holders of Common Registrable Securities are participating, the ten (10)
days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of such registration, and (ii)
upon notice from any holder(s) of Common Registrable Securities subject to a Shelf Registration
that such holder(s) intend to effect Underwritten Offering of Common Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Shelf Registration (upon receipt of which, the Company will promptly notify all
other Eligible Holders of Common Registrable Securities of the date of commencement of such
Underwritten Offering), the ten (10) days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of
commencement of such Underwritten Offering.

     4. Registration Procedures. Whenever Registrable Securities are to be registered
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the
registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of
disposition thereof (subject to the terms hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company shall:

          (a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the initial filing thereof. Before filing
a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall
furnish to one firm of counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the

8

 

Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel
within three (3) business days of receipt of such documents by such counsel; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Company be required to provide counsel for such holders
any Exchange Act Document prior to its filing other than in connection with an Underwritten
Offering;

          (b) in the case of a Demand Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare
and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities
within sixty (60) days of its receipt of a Demand Notice and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of the
initial filing thereof. Before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to one firm of counsel selected by the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such
counsel within three (3) business days of receipt of such documents by such counsel;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to provide
counsel for such holders any Exchange Act Document prior to its filing other than in connection
with an Underwritten Offering;

          (c) notify each Eligible Holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each
Registration Statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may
be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for a period of not less than
one-hundred twenty (120) days (or, if sooner, until all Registrable Securities have been sold under
such Registration Statement) (or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, a period ending on the date
on which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration) and comply
with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement (in
each case subject to any Suspension Period);

          (d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such
Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as such
seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;

          (e) use its commercially reasonable efforts (i) to register or qualify such Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller
reasonably requests, (ii) to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such
Registration Statement remains in effect, and (iii) to do any and all other acts and things which
may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the
Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subsection, (y) subject itself to

9

 

taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction);

          (f) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities and any managing underwriter (i) at any
time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (A)
upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus
included in such Registration Statement includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller
and subject to any Suspension Period, the Company shall promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Prospectus and file it with the Commission so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented shall not
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, (B) as soon as the Company becomes aware of any request by the Commission or any
Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or related Prospectus covering Registrable Securities or for additional information relating
thereto, (C) as soon as the Company becomes aware of the issuance or threatened issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending or threatening to suspend the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities or (D) of the receipt by the Company of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (ii) when each Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when each Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

          (g) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities (i) if
either the Common Stock or New Notes are then listed on a securities exchange or included for

generally or through a third party (other than as a result of a breach of such confidentiality
provisions) without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality;

          (k) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to

of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section

furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holders or
underwriters and their respective counsel should be included;

          (m) in the event of the issuance or threatened issuance of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any
related Prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Securities included in such Registration
Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to (i)
prevent the issuance of any such stop order, and in the event of such issuance, to obtain the

          (o) promptly notify in writing the Eligible Holders, the sales or placement agent, if any,
therefor and the managing underwriter of the securities being sold, (i) when such Registration

time period required hereunder and if applicable, file any Registration Statements pursuant to Rule

be made with FINRA;

Company believes that such private sales comply with the Securities Act); and

          (s) use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions reasonably necessary to effect
the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

     5. Information from Eligible Holders; Obligations of Eligible Holders.

          (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to include the
Registrable Securities of any Eligible Holder that has requested inclusion of its

12

 

Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, that
such Eligible Holder shall take the actions described in this Section 5.

          (b) Each Eligible Holder that has requested inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any
Registration Statement shall furnish to the Company (as a condition precedent to such Eligible
Holder’s participation in such registration) a Questionnaire. Each Eligible Holder agrees promptly
to furnish to the Company in writing all information required to be disclosed in order to make the
information previously furnished to the Company by such Eligible Holder not misleading, any other
information regarding such Eligible Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as
may be required to be disclosed in the Prospectus or Registration Statement under applicable law or
regulation or pursuant to comments from the staff of the Commission and any information otherwise
reasonably required by the Company to comply with applicable law or regulations.

          (c) Each Eligible Holder shall promptly (i) following its actual knowledge thereof, notify the
Company of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in a Registration Statement,
Prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus regarding such Eligible
Holder untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in a Registration
Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus so that, in such regard, it shall not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements not misleading and (ii) provide the Company with such information
as may be required to enable the Company to prepare a supplement or post effective amendment to any
such Registration Statement or a supplement to such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus.

          (d) With respect to any Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering, the inclusion of
an Eligible Holder’s Registrable Securities therein shall be conditioned, at the managing
underwriter’s request, upon the execution and delivery by such holder of an underwriting agreement;
provided that the underwriting agreement is in customary form and reasonably acceptable to
Company and the majority of Eligible Holders of the Registrable Securities to be included in the
Underwritten Offering.

          (e) Each Eligible Holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
Company in preparing the applicable Registration Statement.

          (f) Each Eligible Holder agrees that no Eligible Holder of Registrable Securities shall be
entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to
receive a Prospectus relating thereto unless such Eligible Holder has furnished the Company with
the Questionnaire and any other information relating to such Eligible Holder reasonably requested
by the Company and customarily required for offerings and/or resales of the type contemplated by
the Registration Statement.

     6. Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Registration
Expenses shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities
shall be borne by the Eligible Holders of such Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of the
amount of Registrable Securities sold; provided, however, that the Company shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm of counsel selected by the holders of a majority
of the

13

 

Registrable Securities covered by (i) the first Shelf Registration Statement filed by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement up to a maximum amount of $75,000 and (ii) each other
Registration Statement up to a maximum amount of $25,000 per Registration Statement subject to an
aggregate maximum amount of $200,000 for all such Registration Statements.

     7. Indemnification; Contribution. 

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each
(i) Eligible Holder of Registrable Securities, (ii) each Person that controls (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Eligible Holder and
(iii) the respective directors, officers, partners, employees, legal counsel, accountants and
agents of such Eligible Holder and controlling Person (collectively, “Holder Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses,
including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements and reasonable expenses of investigation
(collectively, “Losses”), caused by any (A) untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or any Free Writing Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (B) violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any applicable state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities law; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Party for any
Losses that are (x) caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company
by or on behalf of a Holder Indemnified Party or any underwriter expressly for use in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or
any Free Writing Prospectus or (y) caused by such Holder Indemnified Party’s or any underwriter’s
failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or
amendment or supplement thereto or any Free Writing Prospectus after the Company has furnished such
Holder Indemnified Party or such underwriter in a timely manner with a sufficient number of copies
of the same. In connection with an Underwritten Offering, the Company shall indemnify such
underwriters, each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each of their respective directors,
officers, partners and employees to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Eligible Holders of Registrable Securities.

          (b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities
is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and
affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or any Free
Writing Prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, (i) the
Company, (ii) each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, (iii) each other holder of Registrable Securities
participating in any such offering and (iv) the respective directors, officers, partners,
employees, legal counsel, accountants and agents of each of the Persons specified in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iii), from and against any and all Losses caused by any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement

14

 

thereto or any Free Writing Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only
to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is
contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such holder
expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto or such Free Writing Prospectus; provided that the obligation to
indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the
net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement. In connection with an Underwritten Offering by the Company or any
holder of the Company’s securities other than an Eligible Holder, a holder of Registrable
Securities participating therein shall indemnify such underwriters, each Person who controls such
underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and each of their respective directors, officers, partners and employees to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Company and the other holders.

          (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to
the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which such Person seeks indemnification
(provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to
indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and
(ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying
party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability
for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the
defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel
(plus one (1) local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such
indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified
party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such
indemnified parties with respect to such claim.

          (d) The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action
and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by
the indemnified party unless (x) the indemnifying party agrees to pay the same, (y) the
indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party or (z) the indemnified party reasonably believes that the joint
representation of the indemnified party and any other party in such proceeding (including the
indemnifying party) would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. In
the case of clause (y) above and (z) above, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to
assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party. No indemnifying party
shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise
of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or
claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not
the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of

15

 

the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (2) does not
include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of any indemnified party. The rights afforded to any indemnified party hereunder shall be
in addition to any rights that such indemnified party may have at common law, by separate agreement
or otherwise.

          (e) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party or any Person
that controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) such indemnified party and the respective directors, officers, partners, employees,
legal counsel, accountants and agents of such indemnified party and controlling Person and shall
survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

          (f) If the indemnification required by this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any
Losses, referred to in this Section 7:

               (i) The indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and
indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question has been committed by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action in question. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 7(a) and Section 7(b), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.

               (ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant
to this Section 7(f) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in Section
7(f)(i). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

     8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. 

          (a) No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is an Underwritten
Registration or Underwritten Offering unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that no holder of Registrable
Securities included in any Underwritten Registration shall be required to make any representations
or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other

16

 

than representations and warranties regarding (x) such holder’s ownership of its Registrable
Securities to be sold or transferred, (y) such holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer
and (z) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested)
or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company with respect thereto, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7(b), or to the underwriters with respect thereto, except to
the extent of the indemnification being given to the Company and its controlling Persons in
Section 7(b).

          (b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt
of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
4(f)(i), such Person will forthwith discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities
pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (including any Shelf Registration) until such
Person’s receipt of (i) copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus from the Company or (ii)
further notice from the Company that distributions can proceed without an amended or supplemented
Prospectus, and, in the circumstances described in clause (i), if so directed by the
Company, such holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in such holder’s
possession (other than permanent file copies or copies required under such holder’s customary
document retention policies), of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the
time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the
applicable time period mentioned in Section 4(c) during which a Registration Statement is
to remain effective shall, to the extent possible, be extended by the number of days during the
period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this Section to and
including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such Registration
Statement shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated
by Section 4(f) or (y) the notice described in clause (ii).

     9. Free Writing Prospectuses. Except for a Prospectus, an Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or other materials prepared by the Company, each Eligible Holder represents and agrees
that it (i) shall not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute
an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus, and
(ii) has not distributed and will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer
or sale of Common Stock or New Notes, in each case without the prior written consent of the Company
and, in connection with any Underwritten Offering, the underwriters.

     10. Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available to the
Eligible Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and
other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit an Eligible Holder to
sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company covenants that it
will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) timely file all reports and other documents required to
be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted
by the Commission thereunder and (ii) take such action as each Eligible Holder may reasonably
request (including, but not limited to, providing any information necessary to comply with Rule 144
and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the
Securities Act), at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Eligible
Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule 144 and Rule 144A (if available with respect to
resales of the Registrable Securities) under the Securities Act, as

17

 

such rules may be amended from time to time, or (y) any other rules or regulations now
existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission.

     11. Effective Time. This Agreement shall be effective in accordance with the terms
and conditions set forth in the Plan and the confirmation order related thereto.

     12. Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights of an Eligible Holder hereunder may
be assigned on a pro rata basis in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable
Securities to any transferee or assignee provided that all of the following additional conditions
are satisfied: (a) immediately after such transfer, such Registrable Securities continue to be
Registrable Securities (taking into account the manner of transfer or assignment of the Registrable
Securities and the fact that such Registrable Securities are held by such transferee or assignee);
(b) such transfer or assignment is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (c) such
transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement; (d) such

underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required by the Company in connection with
registration of the Registrable Securities; and (e) the Company is given written notice by such

performed by it, and any provision set forth herein for the benefit of the Eligible Holders may be
waived, only if the Company shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Eligible Holders
holding at least a majority (i) of the Common Registrable Securities then outstanding and/or (ii)
in principal amount of the Notes Registrable Securities, in each case who are affected by such
amendment, action or omission to act; provided that if any such amendment or waiver is to a
provision in this Agreement that requires a specific vote to take an action thereunder or to take
an action with respect to the matters described therein, such amendment or waiver shall not be
effective unless such vote is obtained with respect to such amendment or waiver.

          (b) Effect of Waiver. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any other term or
condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such
provision or of any other provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own
terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the
provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other
instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is
claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such
provision.

          (c) Further Assurances.

22

 

               (i) Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further instruments and documents and

writing of such Eligible Holder’s irrevocable election to exclude all of such Eligible Holder’s
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

     15. Miscellaneous. 

          (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities which is materially inconsistent with or materially
violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

          (b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company shall not take any
action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities which would materially and
adversely affect the ability of the holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable
Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or which would materially and
adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration.

          (c) Remedies; Specific Performance. Any Person having rights under any provision of
this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages caused by
reason of any material breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights
existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be
an adequate remedy for any material breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party
may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for
specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting any bond or other security) in order
to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement and shall not be required to
prove irreparable injury to such party or that such party does not have an adequate remedy at law
with respect to any material breach of this Agreement (each of which elements the parties admit).

          (d) Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and permitted assigns or transferees of the parties hereto (including any trustee in
bankruptcy) whether so expressed or not.

          (e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall
be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of this Agreement.

23

 

          (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such
counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

          (g) Descriptive Headings; Interpretation; No Strict Construction. The descriptive
headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive
part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall
include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns,
pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document,
or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from
time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. The words
“include”, “includes” or “including” in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation”. The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties
hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if
drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring
or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions

the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

     To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto (i) agrees that any

(iii) irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the
venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought
in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

covenants that apply to any Subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent or that impose limitations on the

Rate resulting from a change in the Leverage Ratio shall be effective during the period commencing
on and including the date (the “Adjustment Date”) that is three Business Days after the

applicable period (together with the certificate required to be delivered in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 5.01(c)) and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the
next such change; provided, that the Applicable Rate will be determined based on the

Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Petition Date acknowledges and agrees
that such Revolving Commitments terminated, effective as of the Petition Date, in accordance with
the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement.

     Section 2.02. Borrowings. (a) Subject to Section 2.09, each Borrowing shall be
comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance
herewith.

          (b) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 15 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled
to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with
respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

     Section 2.03. Interest Elections. (a) The Borrower may elect to convert each
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may
elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case
each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing.

          (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such election by telephone (i) in the case of an election to continue or convert to a
Eurodollar Borrowing, by not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before
the date of the proposed continuation or conversion or (ii) in the case of an election to convert
to an ABR Borrowing, by not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the
date of the proposed conversion. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and
signed by the Borrower.

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

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

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

          (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and

36

 

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.

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

          (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such
Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of
Default has occurred after the Closing Date and is continuing then, so long as an Event of Default
is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

     Section 2.04. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then
unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.05.

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

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

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

          (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to
the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered
assigns) and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative

37

 

Agent. Such promissory note shall state that it is subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at
all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more
promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

     Section 2.05. Amortization of Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph
(c) of this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall repay the Borrowings on each date set forth below in
the amount set forth opposite such date:

          (b) To the extent not previously paid all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

          (c) Any mandatory or optional prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to reduce the
subsequent scheduled repayments of the Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section ratably.

          (d) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the
Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three
Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a

38

 

Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments
of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

     Section 2.06. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but
subject to Section 2.11), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to the
requirements of this Section.

          (b) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of
any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, not later than the Business
Day next after the date on which such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Borrowings in an aggregate
amount equal to the Required Percentage of such Net Proceeds or, in the case of an Equity Issuance
by the Ultimate Parent, the Required Percentage of the Allocable Net Proceeds of such Prepayment
Event; provided that, solely in the case of any Asset Disposition, if the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower to the
effect that the Borrower or a Subsidiary intends to apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset
Disposition (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of
such Net Proceeds, to acquire real property, equipment or other assets to be used in the business
of the Borrower or such Subsidiaries or to fund a Permitted Acquisition in accordance with the
terms of Section 6.04, in each case as specified in such certificate (any such event, a
“Reinvestment”), and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no
prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect
of such Asset Disposition (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if
applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom (i) that the Borrower or the
applicable Subsidiary shall have determined not to, or shall have otherwise ceased to, or is not
able to, by operation of contract or law or otherwise, apply toward such Reinvestment or (ii) that
have not been so applied, or contractually committed to be so applied, by the end of such 365-day
period, in each case at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net
Proceeds that have not been, or have been determined not to be, so applied (it being understood
that if any portion of such proceeds are not so used within such 365-day period but within such
365-day period are contractually committed to be used, then upon the earlier to occur of (A) the
termination of such contract and (B) the expiration of a 180-day period following such 365-day
period, such remaining portion shall constitute Net Proceeds as of the date of such termination or
expiry without giving effect to this proviso); provided, further, that the Net
Proceeds applied toward Reinvestments or contractually committed to be so applied pursuant to the
foregoing proviso shall not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year.

     (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of
the Ultimate Parent in respect of any Ultimate Parent Asset Disposition, the Borrower shall, not
later than the Business Day next after the date on which such Net Proceeds are received, prepay
Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Allocable Net Proceeds of such Ultimate Parent Asset
Disposition; provided that, if the Ultimate Parent shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Ultimate Parent to the effect that the
Ultimate Parent intends to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion

39

 

thereof specified in such certificate), within 365 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to
effect a Specified Investment, in each case as specified in such certificate, and certifying that
no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this
paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net
Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net
Proceeds therefrom (i) that the Ultimate Parent shall have determined not to, or shall have
otherwise ceased to, or is not able to, by operation of contract or law or otherwise, apply toward
a Specified Investment or (ii) that have not been so applied, or contractually committed to be so
applied, by the end of such 365-day period, in each case at which time a prepayment shall be
required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been, or have been determined not to
be, so applied (it being understood that if any portion of such proceeds are not so used within
such 365-day period but within such 365-day period are contractually committed to be used, then
upon the earlier to occur of (A) the termination of such contract and (B) the expiration of a
180-day period following such 365-day period, such remaining portion shall constitute Net Proceeds
as of the date of such termination or expiry without giving effect to this proviso);
provided, further, that prior to the application of any such Net Proceeds pursuant
to the foregoing proviso, such Net Proceeds shall be held in a segregated cash collateral account
governed by a control agreement in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent in accordance with the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

          (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2010, the Borrower will prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to (i)
(A) with respect to any fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is
greater than 2.50 to 1.00, 60% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year or (B) with respect to any
fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio as of the end of such fiscal year is equal to or less than 2.50
to 1.00, 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, less (ii) any voluntary prepayments
of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.06(a) during such fiscal year (other than voluntary prepayments
specified by the Borrower to reduce the amount of a mandatory prepayment due under this paragraph
(d)) less (iii) any voluntary prepayments of the Loans made since the end of such fiscal
year to the extent the Borrower has, on or prior to the date any mandatory prepayment is due under
this paragraph (d) with respect to such fiscal year, specified by written notice to the
Administrative Agent that such voluntary prepayments shall be applied to reduce the amount of such
mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the
date on which financial statements are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the
fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated (and in any event within 100 days after
the end of such fiscal year).

          (e) Prior to any optional or, subject to Sections 2.06(b), (c) and (d), mandatory prepayment
of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and
shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this
Section.

          (f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the
case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than

40

 

11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or
portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed
calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of
any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the
required amount of a mandatory prepayment or to prepay such Borrowing in full. Each prepayment of
a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments
shall be accompanied by accrued interest and other amounts to the extent required by Sections 2.08
and 2.11.

     Section 2.07. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for
its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender on the Closing Date, a non-refundable closing
fee equal to 0.50% of the Term Loans and the Revolving Extensions of Credit (as each such term is
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) held by such Lender as of the Closing Date (after giving
effect to the Paydown and cash collateralization of any Existing Letters of Credit).

          (c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

     Section 2.08. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

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

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the Required Lenders made solely during
the continuation of an Event of Default, all Loans shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan
as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section.

          (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section
shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued
interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment
or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of
the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

41

 

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

     Section 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

          (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period; or

          (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate
for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making
or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided,
however, that, in the case of a notice received pursuant to clause (b) above, if the
Administrative Agent is able prior to the commencement of such Interest Period to ascertain, after
using reasonable efforts to poll the Lenders giving such notice, that a rate other than the
Alternate Base Rate would adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower of such alternate rate and the Borrower may agree by written notice
to the Agent prior to the commencement of such Interest Period to increase the Applicable Rate for
the Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period to result in an interest rate equal
to such alternate rate, in which case such increased Applicable Rate shall apply to all the
Eurodollar Loans included in the relevant Borrowing.

     Section 2.10. Increased Costs; Illegality. (a) If any Change in Law (except with
respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.12) shall:

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

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

42

 

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

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

          (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a
claim under this Section 2.10 and the calculation of such claim by such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date
that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,
further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the commitment
of such Lender hereunder to continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar
Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (ii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar
Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the
then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required
by applicable law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the
last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.11.

     Section 2.11. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan
other

43

 

than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to convert,
continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant
hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.06(f) and is revoked in
accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.14 or 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss,
cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall
consist of an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred,
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (without giving effect to
clause(b) of the definition of LIBO Rate), for the period from the date of such event to the last
day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits
of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

     Section 2.12. Taxes.

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

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

          (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 days after
written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on
account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of a Lender, shall be presumed correct,

44

 

provided that upon reasonable request of the Borrower, a Lender shall provide all
relevant information reasonably accessible to it justifying such amount.

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

          (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is 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, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate, provided that (i) such Foreign Lender has received written notice from the
Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all
applicable documentation and (ii) such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute, and
deliver such documentation.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole judgment, that it has
received a refund or credit of any Indemnified 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 2.12, it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Borrower within a
reasonable period of time (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
giving rise to such refund or credit), 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
request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower 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 Section 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 that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any
other Person.

          (g) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by
the Administrative Agent, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good
faith and delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be presumed correct,
provided that upon reasonable request of the Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide
all relevant information reasonably accessible to it justifying such amount.

          (h) The agreements in this Section 2.12 shall survive the termination of this agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     Section 2.13. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.10, 2.11 or
2.12, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan
Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York
City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim.
Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative
Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its
offices at 60 Wall Street, New York, NY, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12
and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, (except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Interest
Period”) the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the
case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall
be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such
parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

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

46

 

against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

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

     Section 2.14. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.12 or if any Lender is not able to maintain Eurodollar Loans for the reasons described in
Section 2.10(e), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or
2.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, provided that nothing in
this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.12. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.12, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at
its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04, provided that the Borrower or assignee must pay any applicable
processing or recordation fee), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to
an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided, further, that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,

47

 

which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld and (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) and such Lender shall be released from all obligations hereunder. A Lender shall not be
required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.

     Section 2.15. Incremental Revolving Credit Facility. The Borrower may by written
notice to the Administrative Agent request the establishment of a revolving credit facility and one
additional increase to such revolving credit facility (any such revolving credit facility or
increase thereto being an “Incremental Revolving Credit Facility”; the commitments to lend
thereunder or increase thereto, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and the revolving
loans made thereunder, the “Incremental Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate amount not in
excess of $40,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000. Such notice shall specify the date (the
“Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that
such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall become effective, which shall be a date not less
than 15 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person) to provide all or
a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitments; provided, that (a) any Lender offered
or approached to provide all or a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitments may elect or
decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment and (b) any Lender
or other Person providing all or a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In each case, such Incremental Revolving
Commitments in respect of any Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall become effective as of
the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Effective Date in respect of such Incremental Revolving
Credit Facility; provided, that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such date
both before and after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments; (ii) both before and
after giving effect to the making of any Incremental Revolving Loans or other extension of credit
under such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility, the representations and warranties of each Loan
Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as
of the date such extension of credit is made, except to the extent such representations and
warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties
shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date); (iii)
the Borrower shall be in Pro Forma Compliance after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving
Commitments; (iv) at the time of effectiveness of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, the
Borrower shall make a voluntary prepayment of Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate
amount of Incremental Revolving Commitments; (v) such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility shall
be effected pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement and any other applicable Loan Documents,
executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, in the case of the
amendment to this Agreement, the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Commitments (in each
case without the need for further approval by the Lenders), in order to set forth the terms
applicable to such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility, including but not limited to the term of
such Incremental Revolving Commitments (which shall not mature earlier than the Maturity

48

 

Date), the procedure for borrowing and repayment of such Incremental Revolving Loans (provided
that the Incremental Revolving Loans shall not share in any mandatory prepayments required
hereunder or under any other Loan Document), the terms of any swingline or letter of credit
subfacility (or increase thereto), the payment of commitment and other fees, the termination or
reduction of such Incremental Revolving Commitments, restrictions on use of proceeds (including
anti-cash hoarding), the ongoing conditions applicable thereto, the proceeds applicable thereto
upon a Default or Event of Default (which shall not come prior to the Loans), the assignment
provisions applicable thereto, and the interest rate margin applicable to such Incremental
Revolving Loans; (vi) for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under any Incremental Revolving
Credit Facility shall constitute “Obligations” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
and shall be entitled to the benefit thereof, including but not limited to being guaranteed by the
Guarantors, and secured by the Collateral, in each case on a pari passu basis with
the other Obligations; and (vii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal
opinions of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors addressing the due election, authorization
and enforceability of the documents evidencing such Incremental Revolving Credit Facility and the
absence of any violation of applicable law, constitutive documents or material contracts binding
upon the Borrower or any Guarantor, or other documents, in each case reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

RHDI Loan Parties and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any of the Ultimate
Parent, the Service Company and the RHDI Loan Parties is to be a party, when executed and delivered
by such Person, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

49

 

     Section 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and

right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company, the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien on any asset of the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company, the Borrower or any of its

and of cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower as of
such date and for such period in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments.

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

          (b) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the
use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other
Person, except, in each case, for any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters).

          (c) Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each real property that is owned or leased by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.

     Section 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits
or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their respective executive officers or directors (i) which could reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed
Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

          (b) Except for either the Disclosed Matters or any other matters that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, none of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any

50

 

Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval
required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii)
has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any
facts or circumstances which are reasonably likely to form the basis for any Environmental
Liability.

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

     Section 3.08. Investment Company Status. None of the Ultimate Parent, the Service
Company, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is required to be registered as an “investment
company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     Section 3.09. Taxes. Each of the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company, the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns and reports
required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have
been paid by it, except any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and for which the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.09, no
material tax Liens have been filed.

     Section 3.10. ERISA. During the five year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made or deemed to be made with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan, no
ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all
other such ERISA Events for which liability has occurred during such five year period or for which
liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on
the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not,
as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all
underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such
amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 3.11. Margin Regulations. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is
engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for
the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

     Section 3.12. Disclosure. None of the written reports, financial statements,
certificates or other written information (including, without limitation, the Disclosure Statement
(as

51

 

supplemented in writing through the Closing Date)), taken as a whole, furnished by or on
behalf of the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company or any RHDI Loan Party to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as of the date thereof and as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made taken as a whole, not misleading; provided that, with respect to
projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable (i) at the time such projected
financial information was prepared and (ii) as of the date hereof. The Bankruptcy Court entered an
order on or about October 21, 2009 approving the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement.

     Section 3.13. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.13 sets forth the name of, and the ownership
interest of the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company, and the Borrower in, each Subsidiary of the
Ultimate Parent, the Service Company, and the Borrower and identifies each such Subsidiary that is
a Loan Party, in each case as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, none of the Ultimate
Parent, the Service Company, and the Borrower has any Subsidiaries other than those set forth on
Schedule 3.13.

     Section 3.14. Insurance. Schedule 3.14 sets forth a description of all insurance
maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. As of the
Closing Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance have been paid. The
Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries is adequate.

     Section 3.15. Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, other than the Disclosed
Matters, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. Except as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: (a) the hours worked by
and payments made to employees of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of
the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing
with such matters; (b) all payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim
may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and
welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary; and (c) the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any
right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective
bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

     Section 3.16. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to
occur on or before the Closing Date and after giving effect to (a) the terms and provisions of the
Reorganization Plan and the Confirmation Order, and (b) the rights of reimbursement, contribution
and subrogation created by the Collateral Agreements, (i) the fair value of the assets of each of
the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company and the RHDI Loan Parties, at a fair valuation, will
exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the

52

 

present fair saleable value of the property of each of the Ultimate Parent, the Service
Company and the RHDI Loan Parties will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the
probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as
such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) each of the Ultimate Parent,
the Service Company and the RHDI Loan Parties will be able to pay its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured;
and (iv) each of the Ultimate Parent, the Service Company and the RHDI Loan Parties will not have
unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such
business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

     Section 3.17. Senior Debt. For so long as the Restructuring Notes or Additional Notes
are outstanding, the Obligations shall constitute “Senior Debt” under and as defined in the
Restructuring Notes Indenture or, if applicable, under the indenture, note purchase agreement or
other applicable agreement or instrument under which any such Additional Notes are issued.

     Section 3.18. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is
effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a
legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds
thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes (as defined in the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates
representing such Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes are delivered to the Collateral Agent, and in the
case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (other than the
Intellectual Property, as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), when financing
statements and other filings are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.18 (as updated by the
Borrower from time to time in accordance with Section 5.03), the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the RHDI Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the
Obligations to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements, or in the case of Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, by possession or control, in each
case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except, in the case of Collateral other than
Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, Liens permitted by Section 6.02(a)).

          (b) When the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or a summary thereof is properly filed in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and, with respect
to Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected by such filings, upon the proper
filing of the financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) above, the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement and such financing statements shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the Intellectual Property
(as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to
any other Person (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on
registered trademarks and patents, trademark and patent applications and registered copyrights
acquired by the grantors after the date hereof).

          (c) The Mortgages, if any, entered into on or prior to the Closing Date or after the Closing
Date pursuant to Section 5.12 are or when entered shall be effective to create in favor

53

 

of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and
enforceable Lien on all of the RHDI Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged
Property thereunder and the proceeds thereof, and when such Mortgages are filed in the proper real
estate filing offices, such Mortgages shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the RHDI Loan Parties in such Mortgaged Property and
the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with
respect to the rights of Person pursuant to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02(a).

     Section 3.19. Liens. There are no Liens of any nature whatsoever on any properties of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than Permitted Encumbrances and Liens permitted by
Section 6.02.

     Section 3.20. Bankruptcy Court Orders. Each of (i) the Bankruptcy Court order
approving the adequacy of the information set forth in the Disclosure Statement and (ii) the
Confirmation Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court, is not subject to any applicable stay,
is in full force and effect and has not been stayed, reversed, rescinded, vacated, modified or
amended without the consent of the Required Lenders.

applicable law, or that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to
cause all provisions of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement applicable to the RHDI Loan

the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement applicable to the Shared Collateral Loan Parties to be
satisfied, including by causing, as applicable, (i) each Newco Subordinated Guarantor to execute a
Newco Subordinated Guarantee as described in clause (e) of the definition of “Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement” and (ii) each Newco Senior Guarantor to execute a supplement to the
Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as required thereunder; provided, that such
provisions of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement need not be satisfied with respect to (i)
real properties owned by the Shared Collateral Loan Parties with an individual fair market value
(including fixtures and improvements) that is less than $10,000,000 and (ii) any real property held
by the Shared Collateral Loan Parties as a lessee under a lease.

     Section 5.13. Credit Ratings. Each of the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower will use
its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain at all times monitored public ratings of the Loans
by Moody’s and S&P and a corporate family rating for each of the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower
from Moody’s and a corporate issuer rating for each of the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower from
S&P.

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

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

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

     The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be
subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan
Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan
Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure
to disclose, any information relating to the Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity (other than as Agent). The Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to
the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or

83

 

have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Agent.

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

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

     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Agent as provided in this
paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any
such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not to be required if an Event
of Default under clause (a), (b), (i) or (j) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing), to
appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which

obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective
Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was

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

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may
be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Ultimate Parent, the Borrower and the Required
Lenders, (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Agent or the Shared Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Loan Party
or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, or
(z) in the case of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Party or Loan Parties subject to such Loan Document,
the Agent and, as applicable, the Shared Collateral Agent, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect
or inconsistency; provided that no such agreement shall (i) reduce the principal amount of
any Loan held by any Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable to
any Lender hereunder, without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) postpone the maturity of any
Lender’s Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Lender’s Loan under
Section 2.05, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable to any Lender hereunder,
or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of such
Lender, (iii) change Section 2.13(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of
payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (iv) change any of the
provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or
modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender, (v) except as provided by Section 9.14, release any Guarantor from
its Guarantee under a Collateral Agreement, Newco Subordinated Guarantee or other applicable
Security Document or Shared Collateral Security Document (except as expressly provided in the
applicable Collateral Agreement, Newco Subordinated Guarantee or other Security Document or
Shared Collateral Security Document), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee,
without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Collateral
from the Liens of the Security Documents and Shared Collateral Security Documents, without the
written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall
amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent without the prior written
consent of the Agent; provided, further, that this Agreement and the other
applicable Loan Documents may be amended to give effect to any Incremental Revolving Credit
Facility as set forth in Section 2.15 without the consent of the

86

 

Lenders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into
by the Ultimate Parent, the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Agent if at the time such
amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the
principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or
accrued for its account under this Agreement.

          (c) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any
of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the
second proviso to Section 9.02(b), the consent of Lenders having Loans representing more than
66-2/3% of the sum of the total outstanding Loans at such time is obtained but the consent of one
or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall
have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are
treated as described in either clause (i) or (ii) below, to either (i) replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more assignees pursuant to, and with the effect of an
assignment under, Section 2.14 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such assignee
consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (ii) repay the outstanding
Loans of such Lender that gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent; provided
(A) that, unless the Loans that are repaid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) are immediately
replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the
outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in
the case of any action pursuant to the preceding clause (ii), Lenders having Loans representing
more than 66-2/3% of the sum of the total outstanding Loans at such time (determined after giving
effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto and (B) any such replacement or
termination transaction described above shall be effective on the date notice is given of the
relevant transaction and shall have a settlement date no earlier than five Business Days and no
later than 90 days after the relevant transaction.

     Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single transaction and
documentation counsel for the Agent and the Arrangers and (b) such other local counsel and special
counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Agent and the Arrangers, in connection
with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or
waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Arrangers or
any Lender, (including the fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single transaction and
documentation counsel for the Agent, the Arrangers and any Lender and (b) such other local counsel
and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Agent and the Arrangers)
in connection with documentary taxes or the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection
with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans
made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

          (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Arrangers and each Lender, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,

87

 

damages, liabilities
and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of (a) a single transaction and
documentation counsel for any Indemnitee and (b) such other local counsel and special counsel as
may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Agent and the Arrangers, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or
the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or
operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any
way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

          (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the
Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, but without affecting the Borrower’s obligations
thereunder, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lender’s pro rata share
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought)
of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be
determined based upon its share of the sum of the total outstanding Loans at the time.

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

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written
demand therefor.

     Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in
accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed
to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to
the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the

88

 

Administrative Agent
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans
at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of:

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

          (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of Loans to an assignee
that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

     (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions:

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender
or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Loan, the amount of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$1,000,000, in each case unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 (it being understood that only a single processing and
recordation fee of $3,500 will be payable with respect to any multiple assignments
to or by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to clause
(ii)(A) above, each of which is individually less than $1,000,000, that are
simultaneously consummated); and

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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

89

 

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

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 9.03).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time
to time, which register shall indicate that each lender is entitled to interest paid with
respect to such Loans (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
"Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement

90

 

(including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to
any amendment, modification or waiver described in the second proviso to Section 9.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b)
of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.13(c) as though it were a Lender.

          (ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or
2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to
the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be
a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.12(e) as
though it were a Lender.

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

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

     Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be

91

 

considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by
any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under
this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 9.03 and
Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this
Agreement or any provision hereof.

     Section 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect
to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers constitute the entire contract among
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 hereof shall have been satisfied,
and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy or email transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

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

     Section 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any
time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against
any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Lender may have.

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

          (b) Each of the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the

92

 

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

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

          (d) After the Effective Date (as defined in the Reorganization Plan), except as otherwise
consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, the Bankruptcy Court’s retention of
jurisdiction shall not govern the interpretation or enforcement of the Loan Documents or any rights
or remedies related thereto.

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

     Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

93

 

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

     Section 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, partners, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such

information received from the Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Ultimate
Parent or any Subsidiary thereof or its business, other than any such information that is available
to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Ultimate Parent or

confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to confidential information of its
other customers.

     Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its
Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has
developed compliance procedures regarding the use of
material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information
in accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities
laws.

     All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or
its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain
material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or
their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the

94

 

Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact
who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its
compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.

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

     Section 9.14. Termination or Release. (a) At such time as the Loans, all accrued
interest and fees under this Agreement, and all other obligations of the RHDI Loan Parties under
the Loan Documents (other than obligations under Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 and 9.03 that are not
then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash, (i) the Collateral shall be released
from the Liens created by the Security Documents and with respect to the RHDI Obligations, the
Shared Collateral Security Documents and (ii) the obligations (other than those expressly stated to
survive termination) of the Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents and, with
respect to the RHDI Obligations, the Shared Collateral Security Documents shall terminate, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

          (b) A Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the security interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary
Loan Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by
this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the
Borrower.

          (c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any RHDI Loan Party of any Collateral that is permitted
under this Agreement to any Person that is not a RHDI Loan Party, or upon the effectiveness of any
written consent to the release of the security interest granted by the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement or any other Loan Document in any Collateral of the RHDI Loan Parties pursuant to Section
9.02 of this Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral granted by the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be automatically released (it being
understood that, in the case of a sale or other transfer to a Shared Collateral Loan Party, such
Collateral shall become subject to a security interest in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent as
to the extent set forth in the Shared Collateral Security Documents upon the consummation of such
sale or other transfer).

95

 

          (d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph(a), (b) or (c) of this
Section 9.14, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party at such Loan Party’s
expense all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.14 shall be without
recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

     Section 9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Ultimate Parent and
the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower, which
information includes the name and address of the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify the Ultimate Parent and the Borrower in
accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

     Section 9.16. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender agrees that it will be bound by,
and shall take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any
intercreditor agreement entered into in connection with any Newco Subordinated Guarantee and
authorizes the Agent to enter into the Intercreditor
Agreement and any intercreditor agreement to be entered into in connection with any Newco
Subordinated Guarantee (which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent)
on its behalf.

     Section 9.17. Amendment and Restatement. On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit
Agreement will be automatically amended and restated in its entirety to read in full as set forth
herein, and all of the provisions of this Agreement which were previously not effective or
enforceable shall become effective and enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01, the
Lenders hereby waive, and shall be deemed to have waived, each Default and Event of Default under
(and as defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement in existence as of the Closing Date to the extent
(i) arising out of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases or (ii) such Default or Event of
Default otherwise shall have occurred and be continuing based on facts known to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders as of the Closing Date (including, without limitation, in connection with any
of the events described in that certain letter from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower dated
April 4, 2009).

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE

     2.1 Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as surety to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower
when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower
Obligations.

     (b) 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 guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws
relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established
in Section 2.2).

5

 

     (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower 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 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party hereunder.

     (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all
the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, and any Incremental Revolving
Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the
Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

     (e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party from the Borrower, any
of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or
any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in
payment of the Borrower 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 Borrower Obligations or any payment received
or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the
Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower
Obligations are paid in full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be terminated.

     2.2 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 hereunder, such
Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor
hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of
contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

     2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or
any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party,
no Guarantor shall exercise any rights of subrogation to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of
the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from the
Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all
amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties by the Borrower on account of the
Borrower Obligations are paid in full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be
terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at
any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have
been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received
by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the
Collateral Agent may determine.

     2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower 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 Borrower

6

 

Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be rescinded by
the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the
Borrower 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, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, and the Credit
Agreement, 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
Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent, 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 Collateral Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent
nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained
in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

     2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and
any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,
extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all
dealings between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been
had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor
waives 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 Borrower Obligations. Each
Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed
as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity
or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower
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 Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, (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 Collateral
Agent or any Secured Party, 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 Borrower Obligations, or of
such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 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 Collateral Agent and any Secured Party 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 Collateral Agent or any Secured Party 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 Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the
commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

     2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 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 Borrower

7

 

Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
Secured Party 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 any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

     2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid
to the Collateral Agent for the sole benefit of the Secured Parties without set-off or counterclaim
in Dollars at the office of the Collateral Agent located at 60 Wall Street, New York, New York
10005.

termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law.

hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party that:

     4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interests granted to the

exclusive licenses or sublicenses) to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed
by such Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing or
sublicensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor

Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize
value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

financing statement or such other actions in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the
terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any such
Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on such Collateral in existence

     (b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid

to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and
other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing.

     (d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to,
the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of,
or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement and other Liens
permitted by the Credit Agreement and this Agreement.

Revolving Commitments shall be terminated, each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that:

     5.1 Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper. If any amount

become evidenced by any Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper constituting Collateral,
such Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to the
Collateral Agent, duly indorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to be held as
Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

     5.2 Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Such Grantor will maintain, with financially sound
and reputable companies, insurance policies (i) insuring the Inventory and Equipment constituting
Collateral against loss by fire, explosion, theft and such other casualties as may be reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and (ii) to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent,
insuring such Grantor against liability for personal injury and property damage relating to such
Inventory and Equipment, such policies to be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as
may be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     (b) All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or
material change in coverage thereof shall be effective unless the insurer gives at least 30 days
notice to the Collateral Agent, (ii) name the Collateral Agent as insured party or loss payee, as
applicable, and (iii) be reasonably satisfactory in all other respects to the Collateral Agent.

     (c) The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a report of a reputable insurance
broker with respect to such insurance substantially concurrently with each delivery of the
Borrower’s audited annual financial statements and such supplemental reports with respect thereto
as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

     5.3 Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor will pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy
at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits
therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor,
materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such charge need
be paid if the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books
of such Grantor and such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in the sale,
forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest therein.

     5.4 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. (a) Such
Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security
interest having at least the priority described in Section 4.2 and shall defend such

benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without
limitation, (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code
(or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests
created hereby and (ii) in the case of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts and Letter-of-Credit
Rights constituting Collateral and any other relevant Collateral, taking any actions necessary to
enable the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code) with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary
(other than with respect to (i) Investment Property and (ii) Deposit Accounts and Securities
Accounts), no Grantor shall be required to take any actions to perfect or maintain the Collateral
Agent’s security interest with respect to any personal property Collateral which (i) cannot be
perfected or maintained by filing a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code and (ii)
has a fair market value which, together with the value of all other personal property Collateral of
all Grantors with respect to which a security interest is not perfected or maintained in reliance
on this sentence, does not exceed $2,500,000.

     5.5 Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Such Grantor will not, except upon 15 days’
prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and delivery to the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent of all additional financing statements and other documents reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection
and priority of the security interests provided for herein:

     (i) change its jurisdiction of organization from that referred to in Section 4.3; or

     (ii) change its name.

     5.6 Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent promptly, in reasonable detail (which notice shall specify that it is being delivered
pursuant to this Section), of:

12

 

     (a) any Lien (other than security interests created hereby or Liens permitted under the Credit
Agreement) on any of the Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of the Collateral
Agent to exercise any of its remedies hereunder; and

     (b) the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created
hereby.

     5.7 Investment Property. (a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate
(including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in
connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in
connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Equity Interests of any
Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any
shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, having a value in excess of
$1,000,000 such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent for the benefit

the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the
Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations,
and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property
or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment Property pursuant to
the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the
reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected
security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held
by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by such
Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral
Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the
Obligations.

     (b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) vote
to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any
nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or
exchange for any Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer, except to the extent permitted by
the Credit Agreement, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a
transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or
option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or
Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this
Agreement and the Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or
undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell,
assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof.

     (c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be
bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property issued by it and will
comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the
Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section
5.7(a) with respect to the Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c)
and 6.6 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may
be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.6 with respect to the Investment Property issued
by it.

13

 

     5.8 Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its
past practice, such Grantor will not (a) grant any extension of the time of payment of any
Receivable, (b) compromise or settle any Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (c)
release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, (d) allow any
credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable

expected to adversely affect the value thereof.

     5.9 Intellectual Property. (a) Except to the extent any Grantor reasonably
determines that any Intellectual Property is no longer used or useful in its business, such Grantor
(either itself or through licensees) will (i) continue to use commercially each material Trademark
in order to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use,
(ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark,
(iii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and
legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which is
confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest in such mark pursuant to
this Agreement and (v) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way.

     (b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any
act, whereby any material Patent may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public.

     (c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) (i) will employ each material Copyright
and (ii) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights may become invalidated
or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act
whereby any material portion of the Copyrights may fall into the public domain.

     (d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act that knowingly uses
any material Intellectual Property to infringe the intellectual property rights of any other
Person.

     (e) Such Grantor will notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows, or has reason to know,
that any application or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may become
forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any final or non-appealable adverse
determination or development (including, without limitation, any proceeding in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any
country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual
Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

     (f) Substantially concurrently with each delivery of the Borrower’s annual and quarterly
financial statements under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent
a certificate of a Financial Officer identifying all applications for registration of any
Intellectual Property filed during the previous fiscal quarter by such Grantor, either by itself or
through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or
any political subdivision thereof (and upon request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall
execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers
as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any
Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating
thereto or represented thereby).

14

 

     (g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation,
in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof,
to
maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain
each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

     (h) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or
diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably
deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such
Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it
learns thereof and sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek appropriate relief
and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

     5.10 Commercial Tort Claims. Such Grantor shall advise the Collateral Agent promptly
of any Commercial Tort Claim constituting Collateral held by such Grantor in excess of $1,000,000
and shall promptly execute a supplement to this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent to grant security interests in such Commercial Tort Claim to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

     5.11
Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts. No Grantor shall establish or maintain a
Deposit Account or Securities Account constituting Collateral for which such Grantor has not
delivered to the Collateral Agent a control agreement executed by all parties relevant thereto,
provided, that the Grantors shall not be required to enter into control agreements with
respect to any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts (i) having an aggregate balance of less than
$1,000,000 or (ii) established pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(vi) of the Credit Agreement with respect
to cash collateral security letters of credit.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

     6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) After an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of
the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and
each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may require
in connection with such test verifications.

     (b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables.
The Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent, upon the
request of the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any
Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if
required, in the Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account
of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 7.4, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be
held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated
from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be
accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments
included in the deposit.

     (c) At the Collateral Agent’s request, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other
documents

15

 

evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the
Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

     6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Collateral Agent
in its own name or in the name of others, may at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and after prior notice to the Grantors communicate with obligors
under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence,
amount and terms of any Receivables.

     (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the
direction of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, in its own name or in the name of
others, may, and upon the request of the Collateral Agent each Grantor shall, notify obligors on
the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral
Agent.

     (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed
and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise
thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability
under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party of any payment relating
thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform
any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving
rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any
payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to
present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment
of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.

     6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the
Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each
Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and
all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes and to exercise all voting and corporate or other
organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however,
that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action
taken which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would result in any violation of
any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent
shall have given notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors,
(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or
other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the
Obligations at the time and in the order as the Collateral Agent may determine, and (ii) any or all
of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee,
and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other
rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer
or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any
other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such
Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation,
the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or
other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral
Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection
therewith, the right to deposit and

16

 

deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and
conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for
property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to
exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so
or delay in so doing.

     (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property
pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the
Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further
instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected
in so complying, and (ii) upon delivery of any notice to such effect pursuant to Section 6.3(a),
pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the
Collateral Agent.

     6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of
Receivables, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Collateral
Agent, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, shall have given notice thereof to the
Grantors, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items
shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated
from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over
to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor
to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder
shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion
and control in accordance with Section 7.1. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a
Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held
as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until
applied as provided in Section 7.4.

     6.5 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or
any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any
kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may
in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or
any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s
board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem
advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. Any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public
sale or sales, and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of
the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or
equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s
request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which
the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The
Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section
6.5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection
therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating
to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties

17

 

hereunder, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect, and only after such application and
after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law,
including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent
account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Parties arising
out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other
disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

     6.6 Registration Rights. (a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its
right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 6.5, at any time when an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is
necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered
under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to
(i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and
deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock,
or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best
efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain
effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock,
or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related
prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to
comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which
the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as
practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

     (b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of
any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more
private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among
other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private
sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been
made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to
delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer
thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

     (c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to this Section 6.6 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in this Section 6.6 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties,
that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.6 shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to
assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that no Event of Default has occurred.

18

 

     6.7 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the
fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to
collect such deficiency.

SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNT; DISTRIBUTIONS

     7.1 The Collateral Account. At such time as the Collateral Agent deems appropriate,
there shall be established and, at all times thereafter until this Agreement shall have terminated,
the Collateral Agent shall maintain a separate collateral account under its sole dominion and
control (the “Collateral Account”). All moneys which are received by the Collateral Agent
or any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral, whether in connection
with the exercise of the remedies provided in this Agreement or any Security Document, shall be
deposited in the Collateral Account and held by the Collateral Agent as part of the Collateral and
applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     7.2 Control of Collateral Account. All right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral Account shall vest in the Collateral Agent, and funds on deposit in the Collateral
Account shall constitute part of the Collateral. The Collateral Account shall be subject to the
exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent.

     7.3 Investment of Funds Deposited in Collateral Account. The Collateral Agent may,
but is under no obligation to, invest and reinvest moneys on deposit in the Collateral Account at
any time in Permitted Investments. All such investments and the interest and income received
thereon and the net proceeds realized on the sale or redemption thereof shall be held in the
Collateral Account and constitute Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for
any diminution in funds resulting from such investments or any liquidation prior to maturity.

     7.4 Application of Moneys. (a) The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time
to apply moneys held by it in the Collateral Account to the payment of due and unpaid Collateral
Agent Fees.

     (b) All remaining moneys held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account or received by
the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral shall, to the extent available for distribution
(it being understood that the Collateral Agent may liquidate investments prior to maturity in order
to make a
distribution pursuant to this Section 7.4), be distributed by the Collateral Agent on each
Distribution Date in the following order of priority (with such distributions being made by the
Collateral Agent to the respective representatives for the Secured Parties as provided in Section
7.4(d), and each such representative shall be responsible for insuring that amounts distributed to
it are distributed to its Secured Parties in the order of priority set forth below):

     First: to the Collateral Agent for any unpaid Collateral Agent Fees and then
to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Collateral Agent Fees
constituting administrative expenses allowable under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for
which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if
such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without
priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of
such Collateral Agent Fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid
on such Distribution Date;

19

 

     Second: to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any
Collateral Agent Fees other than such administrative expenses described in clause
First above, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such
Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such
Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full,
then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in
proportion to the amounts of such Collateral Agent Fees advanced by the respective Secured
Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

     Third: to the Secured Parties, the amount then due and owing and remaining
unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties to
which such Obligations are then due and owing based on the respective amounts thereof, until
such Obligations are paid or cash collateralized (to the extent not then due and payable) in
full;

     Fourth (this clause being applicable only if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing): to the Secured Parties, the amount of unpaid principal,
interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses in respect of the Obligations, pro
rata among the Secured Parties holding such Obligations based on the respective
amounts thereof, until such Obligations are paid or cash collateralized (to the extent not
then due and payable) in full; and

     Fifth: any balance remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid or cash
collateralized in full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated
shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same.

     (c) The term “unpaid” as used in clauses Third and Fourth of Section 7.4(b)
refers:

     (i) in the absence of a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the relevant
Grantor(s), to all amounts of the Obligations outstanding as of a Distribution Date,
and

     (ii) during the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the
relevant Grantor(s), to all amounts allowed (within the meaning of Title 11 of the
United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”) by the bankruptcy court in respect of the
Obligations as a basis for distribution (including estimated amounts, if any,
allowed in respect of contingent claims),

to the extent that prior distributions have not been made in respect thereof.

     (d) The Collateral Agent shall make all payments and distributions under this Section 7.4 on
account of Obligations to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to directions of the Administrative
Agent, for re-distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

     7.5 Collateral Agent’s Calculations. In making the determinations and allocations
required by Section 7.4, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by
the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts
outstanding with respect to the Obligations and, as to the amounts of any other Obligations,
information supplied by the holder thereof, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any
of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in
this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in
any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
7.4 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest
error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty

20

 

to inquire as to the application by the
Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

          8.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with
full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and
authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own
name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any
and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives
the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by
such Grantor, to do any or all of the following upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default:

     (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and
indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment
of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due
under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

     (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any
and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property (and
the associated goodwill) and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby;

     (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and
pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

     (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.5 or 6.6, any
indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and

     (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent
or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of
and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time
in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or
express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the
Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in
any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding
brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust
any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or
releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or
Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or
Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in
such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally,

pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense,
at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security
interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.

     Anything in this Section 8.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees
that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section
8.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or
otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

     (c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 8.1, together with interest thereon at the rate applicable thereto under
Section 2.08(c) of the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the
date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent
on demand.

     (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.

     8.2 Appointment of Collateral Agent as Agent for the Secured Parties. By acceptance
of the benefits of this Agreement and the Security Documents, each Secured Party shall be deemed
irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and
under the Security Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to
act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for enforcement of any provisions of this
Agreement and the Security Documents against any Grantor or the exercise of remedies hereunder or
thereunder, (c) to agree that such Secured Party shall not take any action to enforce any
provisions of this Agreement or any Security Document against any Grantor or to exercise any remedy
hereunder or thereunder and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the
Security Documents.

     8.3 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section
9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No Secured Party nor any of its
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize
upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take
any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers
conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the
Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a
result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

22

 

     8.4 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor
authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or
recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such
Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect
the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the
Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” in any such financing
statement. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any
financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

     8.5 General Provisions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all of the benefits
of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement.

     8.6 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by
the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting
right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out
of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed
by this Agreement and by such other agreements as may exist from time to time among them, but, as
between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed
to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain
from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except with the consent of the Collateral Agent
and in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

     9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or
any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.01 of the Credit
Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be
addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1 or such other
address specified in writing to the Administrative Agent in accordance with such Section. All
notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement and shall be addressed to the Collateral Agent
at 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005.

     9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent
nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1),
delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or
to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

23

 

     9.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable expenses incurred hereunder
as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

     (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each
Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees
(as defined in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or
asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating hereto, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

     (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall remain
operative
and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the
Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 9.4 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

     9.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties and their successors and assigns; provided, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent.

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

     9.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic
transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument.

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

24

 

     9.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.

     9.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement
of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly
set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

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

     9.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

     (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 9.2 or at such other address of
which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

     (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.

     9.13 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

     (b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship
with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely
that of debtor and creditor; and

25

 

     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and
the Secured Parties.

     9.14 Additional Grantors.
 Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement
pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this
Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of
Annex I hereto.

     9.15 Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations (other than
Obligations in respect of Specified Swap Agreements and Specified Cash Management Obligations)
shall have been paid in full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the
Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations
(other than those expressly stated to survive such termination or release) of the Collateral Agent
and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance
of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the
request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall
deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and
deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release.

     (b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any
Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Collateral Agent, at the
request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or
other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on
such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Subsidiary Loan Party shall be
released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Equity Interests of such
Subsidiary Loan Party shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction
permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided, that the Borrower shall have delivered to the
Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written
request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Loan Party and the terms of the sale or
other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection
therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such transaction is in
compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     9.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE

     2.1 Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as surety to the
Shared Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties and their
respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by each Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of its respective Borrower Obligations.

     (b) 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 guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws
relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established
in Section 2.2).

     (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower 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 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Shared Collateral Agent or
any Shared Collateral Secured Party hereunder.

     (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all
the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full and any Incremental Revolving
Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of each
Credit Agreement the applicable Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

     (e) No payment made by any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral
Secured Party from any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any
time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower 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 Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of
the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability
of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are paid in full and any Incremental
Revolving Commitments shall be terminated.

10

 

     2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a
Guarantor (other than the Ultimate Parent) shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any
payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and
against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.
Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.
The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of
any Guarantor to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, and each
Guarantor shall remain liable to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured
Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

     2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or
any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared
Collateral Secured Party, no Guarantor shall exercise any rights of subrogation to any of the
rights of the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party against any Borrower
or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the
Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or
any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts
owing to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties by any Borrower on
account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments
shall be terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation
rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Shared Collateral Agent in the exact form
received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Shared Collateral Agent, if
required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

     2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower 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 Borrower Obligations made by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured
Party may be rescinded by the Shared Collateral Agent or such Shared Collateral Secured Party and
any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower 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, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the
Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party and the 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 Shared Collateral Agent (or the RHDI Administrative Agent,
the Dex East Administrative Agent, the Dex West Administrative Agent or the requisite Lenders under
the applicable Credit Agreement, 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 Shared Collateral Agent
or any Shared Collateral Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Shared Collateral Agent nor any other
Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained
in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

     2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2;
the Borrower Obligations, and any of

11

 

them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed,
extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all
dealings between any of the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Shared
Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in
this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with
respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional
guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any
of the Borrower 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 Shared Collateral Agent or
any Shared Collateral Secured Party, (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 any Borrower or
any other Person against any Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party, or (c)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such
Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge
of any Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
this Section 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 Shared Collateral
Agent and any Shared Collateral Secured Party 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 any 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 Shared Collateral
Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights
or remedies or to collect any payments from any 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 any 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 Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared
Collateral Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the
commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

     2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 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 Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
Shared Collateral Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of any 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, any Borrower or any
Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

     2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid
to the Shared Collateral Agent for the sole benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties
without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the office of the Shared Collateral Agent located at
270 Park Avenue, New York, New York.

     (xiv) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and
products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any
Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

     3.2 Excluded Property. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in this
Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in, and the Shared
Collateral shall not include, (a) any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest
(i) is prohibited by any Requirement of Law of a Governmental Authority or requires a consent not
obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Requirement of Law, (ii) is prohibited by,
or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent

Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except in each case to the extent

termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law or (b) any property owned
or at any time hereafter acquired by BDC or any Newco Senior Guarantor other than Pledged

East Credit Agreement, (iii) the Dex West Administrative Agent and the Dex West Lenders to enter
into the Dex West Credit Agreement and (iv) the Shared Collateral Secured Parties to enter into
agreements with the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, each Grantor hereby represents and
warrants to the Shared Collateral Agent and each Shared Collateral Secured Party that:

     4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interests granted to the Shared
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Shared Collateral by each of the Credit
Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the
Shared Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement
or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Shared Collateral is on file or of
record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Shared Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement or as
permitted by each of the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, in the ordinary course of
business in a manner that does not materially interfere with the business of the Ultimate Parent
and its Subsidiaries, grant licenses or sublicenses (other than perpetual or exclusive licenses or
sublicenses) to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by such Grantor. For
purposes of this Agreement, such licensing or sublicensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien”
on such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor understands that any such licenses and sublicenses may
not limit the ability of the Shared Collateral Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the
related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant
hereto.

     4.2 Perfected First Priority Lien. The security interests granted pursuant to this
Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3
(which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on such Schedule, have been
delivered to the Shared Collateral Agent in completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid
perfected security interests in all of the Shared Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected by the filing of a financing statement or such other actions in favor of the Shared
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, as collateral security
for the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such
Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any such Shared Collateral from such Grantor and (b)
are prior to all other Liens on such Shared Collateral in existence on the date hereof, subject
only to Liens permitted by each of the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement.

     4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such
Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization
(if any), and the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business or
principal residence, as the case may be, are specified on Schedule 4. Such Grantor has
furnished to the Shared Collateral Agent a certified charter, certificate of incorporation or other
organizational document and a long-form good standing certificate as of a date which is recent to
the date hereof.

     4.4 Farm Products. None of the Shared Collateral constitutes, or is the Proceeds of,
Farm Products.

     4.5 Investment Property. (a) The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by such Grantor
hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Equity Interests
of each Issuer owned by such Grantor or, in the case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, if less,
65% of the outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.

14

 

     (b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid
and nonassessable.

     (c) Each of the Pledged Notes constituting Shared Collateral constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing.

     (d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to,
the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of,
or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement and other
Liens permitted by each of the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.

     4.6 Receivables. With respect to the Receivables constituting Shared Collateral of
any Grantor only: (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any
Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the
Shared Collateral Agent to the extent required by Section 5.1 below.

     (b) Except as such Grantor shall have previously notified the Shared Collateral Agent in
writing, the aggregate amount of Receivables included in the Shared Collateral owed by Governmental
Authorities to the Grantors does not exceed $5,000,000.

     (c) The amounts represented by such Grantor to the Shared Collateral Secured Parties from time
to time as owing to such Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at such times be accurate.

     4.7 Intellectual Property. With respect to the Intellectual Property constituting
Shared Collateral of any Grantor only: (a) Schedule 5 lists or describes all registered
Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents and applications for the foregoing owned by such Grantor in its own
name on the date hereof and all Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses and Trademark Licenses of such
Grantor as of the date hereof.

     (b) On the date hereof, all material Intellectual Property is free of all Liens (other than
Liens permitted by each of the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement),
valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, has not been abandoned and, to the knowledge of such
Grantor, does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

     (c) Except as set forth in Schedule 5 hereto, on the date hereof, none of the
Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such
Grantor is the licensor or franchisor.

     (d) On the date hereof, no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental
Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any
material Intellectual Property.

     (e) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened, on
the date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any Intellectual Property
or such Grantor’s ownership interest therein, or (ii) which, if adversely determined, would have a
material adverse effect on the value of any Intellectual Property.

Deposit Account or Securities Account constituting Shared Collateral in which any Grantor has any
interest on the date hereof.

          From and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnity obligations not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full and any Incremental
Revolving Commitments shall be terminated, each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Shared
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties that:

     5.1 Delivery of Instruments, Certificated Securities and Chattel Paper. If any amount
payable under or in connection with any of the Shared Collateral in excess of $1,000,000 shall be
or become evidenced by any Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper constituting Shared
Collateral, such Instrument, Certificated Security or Chattel Paper shall be promptly delivered to
the Shared Collateral Agent, duly indorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent,
to be held as Shared Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

     5.2 Maintenance of Insurance. (a)Such Grantor will maintain, with financially sound
and reputable companies, insurance policies (i) insuring the Inventory and Equipment constituting
Shared Collateral against loss by fire, explosion, theft and such other casualties as may be
reasonably satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent and (ii) to the extent requested by the
Shared Collateral Agent, insuring such Grantor against liability for personal injury and property
damage relating to such Inventory and Equipment, such policies to be in such form and amounts and
having such coverage as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent.

     (b) All such insurance shall (i) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or
material change in coverage thereof shall be effective unless the insurer gives at least 30 days
notice to the Shared Collateral Agent, (ii) name the Shared Collateral Agent as insured party or
loss payee, as applicable, and (iii) be reasonably satisfactory in all other respects to the Shared
Collateral Agent.

     5.3 Casualty and Condemnation. Such Grantor (a) shall furnish to the Shared
Collateral Agent prompt written notice of any casualty or other insured damage to any Shared
Collateral fairly valued at more than $10,000,000 or the commencement of any action or proceeding
for the taking of any Shared Collateral or any material part thereof or material interest therein
under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding and (b) shall ensure that
the net proceeds of any such event (whether in the form of insurance proceeds, condemnation awards
or otherwise) that have not been applied to repair, restore or replace the applicable property or
asset within 365 days of such event are collected and applied to the prepayment of the Borrower
Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor
Agreement.

     5.4 Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor will pay and discharge or otherwise satisfy
at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Shared Collateral or in respect of income or
profits therefrom, as well as all claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for
labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect to the Shared Collateral, except that no
such charge need be paid if the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been
provided on the books of such Grantor and such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to
result in the sale, forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Shared Collateral or any
interest therein.

security interest created by this Agreement as a perfected security interest having at least the

and this Agreement to dispose of the Shared Collateral.

     5.6 Other Information; Further Documentation. (a) At any time and from time to time,
upon the written request of the Shared Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of such Grantor,
such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further
instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Shared Collateral Agent may
reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement
and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) filing any
financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in
effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) in the
case of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts and Letter-of-Credit Rights constituting Shared
Collateral and any other relevant Shared Collateral, taking any actions necessary to enable the
Shared Collateral Agent to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code) with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary
(other than with respect to (i) Investment Property and (ii) Deposit Accounts and Securities
Accounts), no Grantor shall be required to take any actions to perfect or maintain the Shared
Collateral Agent’s security interest with respect to any personal property Shared Collateral which
(i) cannot be perfected or maintained by filing a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial
Code and (ii) has a fair market value which, together with the value of all other personal property
Shared Collateral of all Grantors with respect to which a security interest is not perfected or
maintained in reliance on this sentence, does not exceed $2,500,000.

     (b) Such Grantor will furnish to the Shared Collateral Agent from time to time statements and
schedules further identifying and describing the assets and property of such Grantor and such other

Dex One Corporation and (ii) RHD Service LLC to Dex One Service LLC).

     5.8 Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Shared Collateral Agent and each
Administrative Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, of:

     (a) any Lien (other than security interests created hereby or Liens permitted under each of
the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement) on any of the Shared
Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of the Shared Collateral Agent to exercise any
of its remedies hereunder; and

     (b) the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral or on the security interests created
hereby.

shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a

capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in
respect of the Equity Interests of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a
conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect

and deliver the same forthwith to the Shared Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly
indorsed by such Grantor to the Shared Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated
stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the
Shared Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Shared Collateral
Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any
sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any
Issuer shall be paid over to the Shared Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional
collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on
or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect
to the Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of
any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless
otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent, be
delivered to the Shared Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral
security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect
of the Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money
or property is paid or delivered to the Shared Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in
trust for the Shared Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

     (b) Without the prior written consent of the Shared Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not
(i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of
any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or
exchange for any Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer, except to the extent permitted by
each of the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, (ii) sell, assign,
transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by each of the Credit
Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist
any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment

Agreement and this Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right
or ability of such Grantor or the Shared Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the
Investment Property or Proceeds thereof.

     (c) In the case of each Grantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees that (i) it will be
bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Investment Property issued by it and will
comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Shared
Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section
5.9(a) with respect to the Investment Property issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 7.3(c)
and 7.7 shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may
be required of it pursuant to Section 7.3(c) or 7.7 with respect to the Investment Property issued
by it.

     5.10 Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its
past practice, such Grantor will not (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any
Receivable constituting Shared Collateral, (ii) compromise or settle any such Receivable for less

     7.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) After an Enforcement Event has
occurred and is continuing, the Shared Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test
verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers
advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Shared
Collateral Agent may require in connection with such test verifications.

     (b) The Shared Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s
Receivables. The Shared Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after
the

24

 

occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event. If required by the Shared
Collateral Agent, upon the request of the requisite Shared Collateral Secured Parties, in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Enforcement Event, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor,
(i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in
the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Shared Collateral Agent if required,
in the Shared Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Shared Collateral Agent for the
account of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties only as provided in Section 7.5, and (ii) until so
turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Shared Collateral Agent and the other
Shared Collateral Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit
of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the
nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

     (c) At the Shared Collateral Agent’s request, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Enforcement Event, each Grantor shall deliver to the Shared Collateral Agent all original and
other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the
Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

     7.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Shared Collateral
Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Enforcement Event and after prior notice to the Grantors communicate with
obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Shared Collateral Agent’s satisfaction
the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

     (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event and at the
direction of the requisite Shared Collateral Secured Parties, in accordance with the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent, in its own name or in the name of others may, and upon the
request of the Shared Collateral Agent each Grantor shall, notify obligors on the Receivables that
the Receivables have been assigned to the Shared Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the
Shared Collateral Agent.

     (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed
and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise
thereto. Neither the Shared Collateral Agent nor any Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have
any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason
of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent nor any Shared
Collateral Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Shared Collateral Agent or
any Shared Collateral Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of
any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any
payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or
as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to
take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have
been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

continuing and the Shared Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the
Shared Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 7.3(b),
each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock
and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes and to exercise all voting and corporate or
other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided,
however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or
other action taken which, in the Shared Collateral Agent’s reasonable

25

 

judgment, would result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreements, the
Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     (b) If an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Shared Collateral
Agent shall have given notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or
Grantors, (i) the Shared Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash
dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make
application thereof to the Obligations at the time and in the order specified in the Intercreditor
Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the
Shared Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Shared Collateral Agent or its nominee may
thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment
Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any
and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options
pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the
corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or
the Shared Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment
Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the
Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agency upon such terms and conditions as the Shared Collateral Agent may determine), all without
liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Shared Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

     (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property
pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Shared
Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Enforcement Event has occurred and is
continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other
or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully
protected in so complying, and (ii) upon delivery of any notice to such effect pursuant to Section
7.3(a), pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the
Shared Collateral Agent.

     7.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Shared Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights
of the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties specified in Section 7.1
with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, and the Shared Collateral Agent, upon the request of the requisite Shared Collateral
Secured Parties, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have given notice thereof to
the Grantors, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash
items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon
receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Shared Collateral Agent in the exact form received
by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Shared Collateral Agent, if required). All
Proceeds received by the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Shared Collateral
Agent in a Shared Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control in accordance
with the Intercreditor Agreement. All Proceeds while held by the Shared Collateral Agent in a
Shared Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Shared Collateral Secured Parties)
shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute
payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 7.5.

     7.5 Application of Moneys. The Shared Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of
moneys, cash dividends, payments or other proceeds constituting Shared Collateral, whether or not
held by any in the Shared Collateral Account and other funds on deposit in the Shared Collateral
Account, in payment of the Obligations at the times and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement.

26

 

     7.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon the request of the requisite Shared Collateral Secured Parties, in accordance with
the Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shared Collateral Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any
kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may
in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Shared
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Shared Collateral or any part thereof (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Shared Collateral Secured Party or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Shared Collateral
Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Shared
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity
is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Shared Collateral Agent’s
request, to assemble the Shared Collateral and make it available to the Shared Collateral Agent at
places which the Shared Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere. The Shared Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action
taken by it pursuant to this Section 7.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of
every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Shared Collateral or in any way relating to the Shared Collateral or the rights of the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section
7.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Shared Collateral Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3)
of the New York UCC, need the Shared Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any
Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against the Shared Collateral Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by
them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Shared
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at
least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

     7.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Shared Collateral Agent shall determine to
exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 7.6, at any time
when an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, and if in the opinion of the Shared
Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to
be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the
Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to
execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other
acts as may be, in the opinion of the Shared Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register
the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act,
(ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective
and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the
Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to
the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Shared Collateral Agent, are necessary or
advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to
cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all
jurisdictions which the Shared Collateral Agent shall

27

 

designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act.

     (b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Shared Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or
more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public
sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Shared Collateral Agent shall be under no
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit
the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

     (c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to this Section 7.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in this Section 7.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties, that the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured
Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each
and every covenant contained in this Section 7.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such
Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Enforcement Event has occurred.

     7.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Shared Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations
and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Shared Collateral Agent or any
Shared Collateral Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

SECTION 8. THE SHARED COLLATERAL AGENT

     8.1 Shared Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Shared Collateral Agent and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such
Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event, to take any and all appropriate
action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor hereby gives the Shared Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such
Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Enforcement Event:

     (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and
indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment
of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Shared Collateral and file any
claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Shared Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys
due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Shared Collateral whenever payable;

28

 

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any
and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Shared Collateral Agent may
reasonably request to evidence the Shared Collateral Agent’s security interest in such
Intellectual Property (and the associated goodwill) and general intangibles of such Grantor
relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Shared
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and
pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 7.6 or 7.7, any
indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Shared Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Shared Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Shared Collateral
Agent or as the Shared Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and
receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to
become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Shared Collateral; (3) sign and
indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection
with any of the Shared Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings
at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Shared Collateral or
any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Shared Collateral; (5)
defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Shared
Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in
connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Shared Collateral Agent may deem
appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the
business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for
such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Shared Collateral Agent shall
in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Shared Collateral as fully and
completely as though the Shared Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and do, at the Shared Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any
time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Shared Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Shared Collateral and Shared Collateral
Agent’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do.

     Anything in this Section 8.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Shared Collateral Agent
agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this
Section 8.1(a) unless an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

     (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Shared Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply,
or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

     (c) The expenses of the Shared Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken
as provided in this Section 8.1, together with interest thereon at the highest rate applicable
thereto under Section 2.08(c) of the RHDI Credit Agreement, Section 2.08(c) of the Dex East Credit
Agreement and Section 2.08(c) of the Dex West Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the
Shared Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such
Grantor to the Shared Collateral Agent on demand.

29

 

     (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.

     8.2 Duty of Shared Collateral Agent. The Shared Collateral Agent’s sole duty with
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Shared Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the
same manner as the Shared Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. No
Shared Collateral Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Shared Collateral or for any delay
in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Shared Collateral
upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to the Shared Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Shared Collateral
Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Shared
Collateral Agent’s and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties’ interests in the Shared Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured
Party to exercise any such powers. The Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured
Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     8.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor
authorizes the Shared Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or
recording documents or instruments with respect to the Shared Collateral without the signature of
such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Shared Collateral Agent determines appropriate
to perfect the security interests of the Shared Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each
Grantor authorizes the Shared Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal
property” in any such financing statement. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing
by the Shared Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Shared Collateral
made prior to the date hereof.

     8.4 Authority of Shared Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights
and responsibilities of the Shared Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action
taken by the Shared Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Shared Collateral Agent
of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Shared Collateral Agent and the
other Shared Collateral Secured Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement and by such
other agreements as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Shared Collateral
Agent and the Grantors, the Shared Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as
agent for the Shared Collateral Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain
from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry
respecting such authority.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 6.3 of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

     9.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Shared Collateral Agent
or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 6.1of the
Intercreditor Agreement.

30

 

     9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Shared
Collateral Agent nor any Shared Collateral Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written
instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Shared Collateral Agent or any
Shared Collateral Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A
waiver by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Shared Collateral Agent or such Shared Collateral Secured Party would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

     9.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Shared Collateral Agent and the
Shared Collateral Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided, that no
Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Shared Collateral Agent.

     9.5 Setoff. If an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Shared Collateral Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Shared Collateral Secured Party or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the
Grantors against any of and all the obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement held by such Shared Collateral Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such
Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Shared Collateral Secured Party under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Shared Collateral Secured Party may have.

     9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or other electronic
transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and
the same instrument.

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

     9.8 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.

     9.9 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement
of the Grantors, the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations
or warranties by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party relative to
subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other
Loan Documents.

Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 9.2 or at such other address of
which the Shared Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

     (e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.

     9.12 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent that is required to
become a party to this Agreement pursuant to any Loan Document shall become a Grantor for all
purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Shared Collateral
Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto.

     9.13 Releases. (a) At the times and to the extent provided in Section 6.10 of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and
this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination)
of the Shared Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate in accordance with the
terms set forth in Section 6.10 of the Intercreditor Agreement, all without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Shared Collateral shall
revert to the Grantors. In connection with any such termination or release, the Shared Collateral
Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor at such Grantor’s expense all documents that such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

     (b) At the times and to the extent provided in Sections 6.10(d) and (e) of the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Shared Collateral so specified shall be released from the Liens created hereby on
such Shared Collateral, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     (c) At the times and to the extent provided in Section 6.10(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement,
any Grantor so specified shall be released from its Obligations hereunder in accordance with the
provisions

32

 

of the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Liens over the Equity Interests of such Grantor shall
also be released, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

     9.14 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Liens, security interests and rights granted pursuant to this Agreement shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of (and the exercise of any right or remedy by any
Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of), the

paid in full (other than as a result of any Refinancing secured by the Shared Collateral) or
the Shared Collateral has been released by the RHDI Secured Parties pursuant to subsection
6.10, then 43% of such moneys shall be distributed to the holders of Dex East Secured
Obligations and 57% of such moneys shall be distributed to the holders of Dex West Secured
Obligations, (b) the Dex East Secured Obligations are paid in full (other than as a result
of any Refinancing secured by the Shared Collateral) or the Shared Collateral has been

moneys shall be distributed to the holders of Dex West Secured Obligations, (c) the Dex West
Secured Obligations are paid in full (other than as a result of any Refinancing secured by
the Shared Collateral) or the Shared Collateral has been released by the Dex West Secured

holders of RHDI Secured Obligations and 42% of such moneys shall be distributed to the
holders of Dex East Secured Obligations, (d) both the RHDI Secured Obligations and the Dex

shall be distributed to the holders of RHDI Secured Obligations;
provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (A) the RHDI Secured
Obligations have not been paid in full and are due and payable and the Shared Collateral has
not been released by the RHDI Secured Parties pursuant to subsection 6.10, any proceeds and
products related to the Equity Interests of RHDI shall be distributed first to the holders
of RHDI Secured Obligations (with any moneys remaining after payment in full of the RHDI
Secured Obligations being distributed to the holders of the other Secured Obligations as set
forth in this clause “Fourth”), (B) the Dex East Secured Obligations have not been paid in
full and are due and payable and the Shared Collateral has not

18

 

been released by the Dex East Secured Parties pursuant to subsection 6.10, any proceeds
and products related to the Equity Interests of East Holdings (or, following a merger of Dex
East and East Holdings, the entity surviving such merger) shall be distributed first to the
holders of Dex East Secured Obligations (with any moneys remaining after payment in full of
the Dex East Secured Obligations being distributed to the holders of the other Secured
Obligations as set forth in this clause “Fourth”) and (C) the Dex West Secured Obligations
have not been paid in full and are due and payable and the Shared Collateral has not been
released by the Dex West Secured Parties pursuant to subsection 6.10, any proceeds and
products related to the capital stock of West Holdings (or following a merger of Dex West
and West Holdings, the entity surviving such merger) shall be distributed first to the
holders of Dex West Secured Obligations (with any moneys remaining after payment in full of
the Dex West Secured Obligations being distributed to the holders of the other Secured
Obligations as set forth in this clause “Fourth”); provided, further, that
to the extent the Secured Obligations of any Class are not due and payable, the Majority
Class Holders (or such higher voting threshold as may be required by the applicable Loan
Document) of such Class may elect to decline repayment pursuant to this clause “Fourth”, in
which case the declined proceeds shall be redistributed and applied to the non-declining
Classes of Secured Obligations pursuant to the percentages set forth above as if such
declining Classes had been paid in full; and

     Fifth: any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their
successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

          (c) The term “unpaid” as used in clause Fourth of subsection 3.4(b) with respect to
the relevant Grantor(s), refers to all amounts of RHDI Secured Obligations, Dex East Secured
Obligations or Dex West Secured Obligations, as the case may be, outstanding as of a Distribution
Date, whether or not such amounts are fixed or contingent, and, in the case of an Insolvency
Proceeding, with respect to any Grantor, whether or not such amounts are allowed in such Insolvency
Proceeding, to the extent that prior distributions (whether actually distributed or set aside
pursuant to subsection 3.5) have not been made in respect thereof.

          (d) The Shared Collateral Agent shall make all payments and distributions under this
subsection 3.4 (i) on account of RHDI Secured Obligations to the RHDI Administrative Agent,
pursuant to written directions of the RHDI Administrative Agent, for re-distribution in accordance
with the provisions of the RHDI Loan Documents; (ii) on account of Dex East Secured Obligations, to
the Dex East Administrative Agent, pursuant to written directions of the Dex East Administrative
Agent, for re-distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Dex East Loan Documents; and
(iii) on account of the Dex West Secured Obligations, to the Dex West Administrative Agent,
pursuant to written directions of the Dex West Administrative Agent, for re-distribution in
accordance with the provisions of the Dex West Loan Documents. The Shared Collateral Agent shall
provide written notice to the Ultimate Parent of any such payment or distribution under this
subsection 3.4(d).

          3.5 Amounts Held for Contingent Secured Obligations. In the event any Shared
Collateral Secured Party shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Shared Collateral
Account of any moneys in respect of any unliquidated, unmatured or contingent portion of the
outstanding Secured Obligations, then the Shared Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction
of the Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties, separate such moneys into a separate account to
be opened by the Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties for the benefit of the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties and shall, at the written direction of such Shared Collateral Secured
Party, invest such moneys in obligations of the kinds referred to in subsection 3.3 maturing within
three months after they are acquired by the Shared Collateral Agent and shall hold all such amounts
so distributable, and all such investments and the net proceeds

19

 

thereof, in trust solely for such Shared Collateral Secured Party and for no other purpose
until (i) such Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have notified the Shared Collateral Agent that
all or part of such unliquidated, unmatured or contingent claim shall have become matured or fixed,
in which case the Shared Collateral Agent shall distribute from such investments and the proceeds
thereof an amount equal to such matured or fixed claim to such Shared Collateral Secured Party for
application to the payment of such matured or fixed claim, and shall promptly give notice thereof
to the Grantors or (ii) all or part of such unliquidated, unmatured or contingent claim shall have
been extinguished, whether as the result of an expiration without drawing of any letter of credit,
payment of amounts secured or covered by any letter of credit other than by drawing thereunder,
payment of amounts covered by any guarantee or otherwise, in which case (x) such Shared Collateral
Secured Party shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, notify the Grantors and the Shared
Collateral Agent in writing and (y) such investments, and the proceeds thereof, shall be held in
the Shared Collateral Account in trust for all Shared Collateral Secured Parties pending
application in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3.4.

          3.6 Shared Collateral Agent’s Calculations. In making the determinations and
allocations required by subsections 3.4 and 3.5, the Shared Collateral Agent may conclusively rely
upon information supplied by the RHDI Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal
and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the RHDI Secured Obligations,
information supplied by the Dex East Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and
interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Dex East Secured Obligations and
information supplied by the Dex West Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and
interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Dex West Secured Obligations, and the
Shared Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties for
actions taken in reliance on any such information, provided, that nothing in this sentence
shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Shared Collateral Secured
Party in any information so supplied but in the event of any such contest, the information
delivered by any Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, for purposes of the Shared Collateral
Agent’s reliance, absent manifest error. Upon the reasonable request of the Shared Collateral
Agent, any Administrative Agent or any other Shared Collateral Secured Party, as the case may be,
shall deliver to the Shared Collateral Agent a certificate setting forth the information specified
in this subsection 3.6. The Shared Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the
application by any Administrative Agent in respect of any amounts distributed to such
Administrative Agent.

          3.7 Sharing. If, through the operation of any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, the Shared
Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder and under the Shared Collateral Security Documents
is enforced with respect to some, but not all, of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, such
Secured Obligations for which the security interest is not enforced shall nevertheless be
considered Secured Obligations hereunder for the purposes of subsection 3.4; provided,
however, that nothing in this subsection 3.7 shall be deemed to require the Shared
Collateral Agent to disregard or violate any court order binding upon it.

          3.8 Shared Collateral Account Information. At such times as any of the Administrative
Agents or the Ultimate Parent may reasonably request in writing, but not more than twice per year
per party (unless otherwise agreed to by the Shared Collateral Agent), the Shared Collateral Agent
shall provide a full accounting of all funds then standing to the credit of the Shared Collateral
Account.

20

of (a) a single transaction and documentation counsel for the Shared Collateral Agent and (b) such
other local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Shared
Collateral Agent, arising in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
modification, and termination of this Intercreditor Agreement and each Shared Collateral Security
Document or the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or thereof and (b) all fees, costs and
expenses of the Shared Collateral Agent (including without limitation, the fees and disbursements
of its counsel, advisors and agents) (i) incurred or required to be advanced in connection with the
custody, use or operation of, preservation, sale or other disposition of Shared Collateral pursuant
to any Shared Collateral Security Document and the preservation, protection, enforcement or defense
of the Shared Collateral Agent’s rights under this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared
Collateral Security Documents and in and to the Shared Collateral (including, but not limited to,
any fees and expenses incurred by the Shared Collateral Agent in a bankruptcy proceeding), (ii)
incurred by the Shared Collateral Agent in connection with the removal of the Shared Collateral
Agent pursuant to subsection 5.7(a) or (iii) incurred in connection with the execution of the
directions provided by the Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties. Such fees, costs and
expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law relating to

survive the termination of the other provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder.

          4.4 Stamp and Other Similar Taxes. The Grantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless
the Shared Collateral Agent, each Administrative Agent and each Shared Collateral Secured Party
from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp or any other similar tax, and any
penalties or interest with respect thereto, which may be assessed, levied or collected by any
jurisdiction in connection with this Intercreditor Agreement, any Shared Collateral Security
Document or any Shared Collateral. The obligations of the Grantors under this subsection 4.4 shall
survive the termination of the other provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement and the resignation
or removal of the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder.

          4.5 Filing Fees, Excise Taxes, Etc. The Grantors agree to pay or to reimburse the
Shared Collateral Agent for any and all payments made by the Shared Collateral Agent in respect of
all search, filing, recording and registration fees and taxes, excise taxes and other similar
imposts which may be payable or determined to be payable in respect of the execution and delivery
of this Intercreditor

21

 

Agreement and each Shared Collateral Security Document. The obligations of the Grantors under
this subsection 4.5 shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Intercreditor
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder.

          4.6 Indemnification. The Ultimate Parent and the Grantors agree to pay, indemnify,
and hold, jointly and severally, the Shared Collateral Agent (and its directors, officers, agents
and employees) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of (a) a single transaction and documentation counsel for the Shared
Collateral Agent and (b) such other local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the
reasonable judgment of the Shared Collateral Agent) or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of
this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents and any modifications or
termination thereof, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the indemnified party or any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction,
including for taxes in any jurisdiction in which the Shared Collateral Agent is subject to tax by
reason of actions hereunder or under the Shared Collateral Security Documents, unless such taxes
are attributable to income or otherwise imposed on or measured by compensation paid to the Shared
Collateral Agent under subsection 4.3. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Shared
Collateral Agent under or with respect to any contract, agreement, interest or obligation
constituting part of the Shared Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any
provisions thereof, the Grantors will save, indemnify and keep the Shared Collateral Agent harmless
from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of any Grantor thereunder, arising
out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement,
indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such Grantor or its successors from
any Grantor, and all such obligations of the Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and
only against the Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Shared Collateral Agent. The
agreements in this subsection 4.6 shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this
Intercreditor Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder.

          4.7 Shared Collateral Agent’s Lien. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Intercreditor Agreement, as security for the payment of Shared Collateral Agent Fees (i) the Shared
Collateral Agent is hereby granted a lien upon all Shared Collateral which shall have priority
ahead of all other Secured Obligations secured by such Shared Collateral and (ii) the Shared
Collateral Agent shall have the right to use and apply any of the funds held by the Shared
Collateral Agent in the Shared Collateral Account to cover such Shared Collateral Agent Fees.

SECTION 5.

THE SHARED COLLATERAL AGENT

          5.1 Appointment of Shared Collateral Agent. Each Administrative Agent hereby
irrevocably appoints the Shared Collateral Agent as its agent and (a) confirms, approves and
ratifies the Shared Collateral Agent’s entry into the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and
any other Shared Collateral Security Document as have been entered into or otherwise effectuated
until the date hereof and all actions that have been taken in connection therewith and (b)
authorizes the Shared Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Shared Collateral Agent by this Intercreditor Agreement upon the
terms and conditions hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
hereto.

22

 

          5.2 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Shared Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties herein, all of which are made solely by the Grantors. The Shared Collateral Agent makes
no representations as to the value or condition of the Shared Collateral or any part thereof, or as
to the title of the Grantors thereto or as to the security afforded by this Intercreditor Agreement
or any Shared Collateral Security Document, or as to the validity, execution (except its
execution), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared
Collateral Security Documents or the Secured Obligations, and the Shared Collateral Agent shall
incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters.

          (b) The Shared Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance by the Grantors of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Shared
Collateral Security Document or Loan Document. Whenever it is necessary, or in the opinion of the
Shared Collateral Agent advisable, for the Shared Collateral Agent to ascertain the amount of
Secured Obligations then held by Shared Collateral Secured Parties, the Shared Collateral Agent may
rely on (i) a certificate of the RHDI Administrative Agent, in the case of RHDI Secured
Obligations, (ii) a certificate of the Dex East Administrative Agent, in the case of Dex East
Secured Obligations and (iii) a certificate of the Dex West Administrative Agent, in the case of
Dex West Secured Obligations and, if any Administrative Agent or any relevant Shared Collateral
Secured Party shall not give such information to the Shared Collateral Agent, (without in any way
diminishing any Obligations of any Grantor) it shall not be entitled to receive distributions
hereunder (in which case distributions to those Persons who have supplied such information to the
Shared Collateral Agent shall be calculated by the Shared Collateral Agent using, for those Persons
who have not supplied such information, the most recent information, if any, received by the Shared
Collateral Agent), and the amount so calculated to be distributed to any Person who fails to give
such information shall be held in trust for such Person until the next Distribution Date following
the time such Person does supply such information to the Shared Collateral Agent, whereupon on such
Distribution Date the amount distributable to such Person shall be recalculated using such
information and distributed to it. The Shared Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any
Shared Collateral Secured Parties with respect to any calculations made by the Shared Collateral
Agent hereunder in the event any Administrative Agent shall fail to deliver its certificate as
required herein. Nothing in this subsection 5.2(b) shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Shared Collateral Secured Party in any certificate so supplied, but the
certificates delivered by any Administrative Agent shall be conclusive, for purposes of the Shared
Collateral Agent’s calculations, absent manifest error. So long as no Enforcement Event is in
effect, the Shared Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer
of the Ultimate Parent with respect to the matters set forth in the second sentence of this
subsection 5.2(b), provided a copy of any such certificate is simultaneously provided to the
Administrative Agents.

          (c) The Shared Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under
this Intercreditor Agreement or any Shared Collateral Security Document if taking such action (i)
would subject the Shared Collateral Agent to a tax (or equivalent liability) in any jurisdiction
where it is not then subject to a tax (or equivalent liability) or (ii) would require the Shared
Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified,
unless the Shared Collateral Agent receives security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against such tax (or equivalent liability), or any liability resulting from such qualification, in
each case as results from the taking of such action under this Intercreditor Agreement or any
Shared Collateral Security Document.

          (d) The Shared Collateral Agent shall have the same rights with respect to any Secured
Obligation held by it as any other Shared Collateral Secured Party and may exercise such rights as
though it were not the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder, and may accept deposits from, lend money
to,

23

 

and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Ultimate Parent and/or
any of the Grantors and their respective affiliates as if it were not the Shared Collateral Agent.

          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with this
Intercreditor Agreement or the Shared Collateral Security Documents except to the extent of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (f) Without any limitation to subsection 2.5, beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the
custody thereof, the Shared Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Shared Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon
or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and
the Shared Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation
statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or
otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Shared
Collateral. The Shared Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody of the Shared Collateral in its possession if the Shared Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Shared Collateral, by reason of
the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the
Shared Collateral Agent in good faith.

          (g) The Shared Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or
value of any of the Shared Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability
of the Liens in any of the Shared Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of
any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or
omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Shared
Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Shared Collateral or any agreement or
assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Shared
Collateral, for insuring the Shared Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or
Liens upon the Shared Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Shared Collateral.

          (h) In no event shall the Shared Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special,
indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to,
loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Shared Collateral Agent has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

          (i) In no event shall the Shared Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or
indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages,
accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Shared Collateral Agent
shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry
to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

          5.3 Delegation of Duties. The Shared Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers
hereof and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact,
accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisers selected by it. The Shared Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such powers and duties.
The Shared Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with due care.

24

 

          5.4 Reliance by Shared Collateral Agent. (a) Whenever in the administration of this
Intercreditor Agreement or the Shared Collateral Security Documents the Shared Collateral Agent
shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be proved or established in connection
with the Shared Collateral Agent taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder,
such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be
deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the
Ultimate Parent and/or one or more Administrative Agents, as applicable, delivered to the Shared
Collateral Agent, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Shared Collateral Agent for any
action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon, subject, however, to the provisions of
subsection 5.5.

          (b) The Shared Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it
hereunder or under any Shared Collateral Security Document in accordance therewith. The Shared
Collateral Agent may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions from the Required Shared
Collateral Secured Parties, an officer’s certificate of a Grantor or an order of a court of
competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it
may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Intercreditor
Agreement or any documents executed in connection herewith.

          (c) The Shared Collateral Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any
resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
bond or other paper or document which it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies
and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, the Shared Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Shared Collateral Agent and conforming to the
requirements of this Intercreditor Agreement.

          (d) The Shared Collateral Agent will not be required to advance or expend any funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its
powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity satisfactory to
it against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take such action. The Shared Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Intercreditor Agreement at the request or
direction of the Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties pursuant to this Intercreditor
Agreement, unless such Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties shall have offered to the Shared
Collateral Agent security or indemnity satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.

          (e) Upon any application or demand by any of the Grantors (except any such application or
demand which is expressly permitted to be made orally) to the Shared Collateral Agent to take or
permit any action expressly provided under any of the provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement or
any Shared Collateral Security Document, the Ultimate Parent shall furnish to the Shared Collateral
Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Ultimate Parent stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Intercreditor Agreement, in any relevant Shared Collateral
Security Document or in any Loan Documents relating to the proposed action have been complied with,
and in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of any document is
specifically required by any provision of this Intercreditor Agreement or a Shared Collateral
Security Document relating to such particular application or demand, such additional document shall
also be furnished. A copy of any such certificate referred to in the prior sentence shall be
simultaneously delivered to the Administrative Agents. Except for withdrawals and releases of
Shared Collateral requested under, and permitted by the terms of,

25

 

Subsections 6.10(f), (g), (h) and (j) below, which releases and withdrawals shall be governed
by, and effected in accordance with the terms set forth in such subsections, unless any
Administrative Agent shall have given telephonic notice to the Shared Collateral Agent, to the
effect that the requested action is not permitted, prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
fifth Business Day following such Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Ultimate Parent or Grantor
certificate (such notice to be confirmed in writing no later than 12:00 p.m. noon (New York City
time) on the sixth Business Day following such Administrative Agent’s receipt of such certificate),
the Shared Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take or permit the requested action,
provided, that the Majority Class Holders of each Class shall be deemed to have approved
and authorized such requested action if the Shared Collateral Agent shall not have received any
such notice from the Administrative Agent representing such Class as described in this subsection
5.4(e). A copy of any notice referred to in the parenthetical above by any Administrative Agent to
the Shared Collateral Agent shall be sent simultaneously to the Ultimate Parent and any applicable
Grantor.

          (f) Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
certificate of a Responsible Officer of any Grantor provided to such counsel in connection with
such opinion or representations made by a Responsible Officer of any Grantor in a writing filed
with the Shared Collateral Agent.

          (g) In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the parties to this
Intercreditor Agreement or any of the documents executed in connection herewith resulting in
adverse claims being made in connection with the Shared Collateral held by the Shared Collateral
Agent, the Shared Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will
incur no liability for doing so) until directed in writing by the Majority Class Holders of each
Class (but, in each case, the Majority Class Holders of each Class may only provide directions
regarding such matters as it would otherwise be permitted to direct under this Intercreditor
Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents) or by order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

          5.5 Limitations on Duties of the Shared Collateral Agent. (a) Unless an Acceleration
Event is in effect, the Shared Collateral Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Collateral
Security Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Intercreditor
Agreement or any Shared Collateral Security Document against the Shared Collateral Agent. If and so
long as an Acceleration Event is in effect, the Shared Collateral Agent shall, upon written
direction of the Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties in accordance with subsection 2.2(b),
exercise the rights and powers vested in the Shared Collateral Agent by this Intercreditor
Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents, and shall not be liable with respect to any
action taken, or omitted to be taken, in accordance with the direction of the Required Shared
Collateral Secured Parties.

          (b) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the Shared Collateral Agent shall not be
under any obligation to take any action which is discretionary with the Shared Collateral Agent
under the provisions hereof or of any Shared Collateral Security Document, except upon the written
direction of the Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties at such time in accordance with
subsection 2.2(b) hereof. The Shared Collateral Agent shall make available for inspection and
copying by each Administrative Agent, each certificate or other paper furnished to the Shared
Collateral Agent by any of the Grantors under or in respect of this Intercreditor Agreement or any
of the Shared Collateral.

          (c) No provision of this Intercreditor Agreement or of any Shared Collateral Security Document
shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Shared Collateral Agent to perform any act
or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Shared Collateral Agent shall be
unqualified or incompetent, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power,
duty or obligation or if

26

 

such performance or exercise would constitute doing business by the Shared Collateral Agent in
such jurisdiction or, unless adequately indemnified therefor (as reasonably determined by the
Shared Collateral Agent), impose a tax on the Shared Collateral Agent by reason thereof or to risk
its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties
hereunder.

          5.6 Moneys held by Shared Collateral Agent. All moneys received by the Shared
Collateral Agent under or pursuant to any provision of this Intercreditor Agreement or any Shared
Collateral Security Document (except Shared Collateral Agent Fees) shall be held in trust for the
purposes for which they were paid or are held and in accordance with this Intercreditor Agreement.

          5.7 Resignation and Removal of the Shared Collateral Agent. (a) The Shared
Collateral Agent may at any time, by giving written notice to the Grantors and each Administrative
Agent, resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become
effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor Shared Collateral Agent, (ii) the acceptance of
such appointment by such successor Shared Collateral Agent, (iii) the approval of such successor
Shared Collateral Agent evidenced by one or more instruments signed by the Majority Class Holders
of each Class and, so long as no Enforcement Event is then in effect, by the Grantors (which
approval, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iv) the payment of all fees and
expenses due and owing to the resigning Shared Collateral Agent (including, but not limited to, the
fees and expenses of its counsel). If no successor Shared Collateral Agent shall be appointed and
shall have accepted such appointment within 60 days after the Shared Collateral Agent gives the
aforesaid notice of resignation, the Shared Collateral Agent, the Grantors (so long as no
Enforcement Event is then in effect) or the Administrative Agents may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Shared Collateral Agent to act until such time, if
any, as a successor Shared Collateral Agent shall have been appointed as provided in this
subsection 5.7. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act
be superseded by any successor Shared Collateral Agent appointed by the Majority Class Holders of
each Class, as provided in subsection 5.7(b). While an Enforcement Event is in effect, the
Majority Class Holders of each Class may, at any time upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice
thereof to the Shared Collateral Agent, the Grantors and each other Administrative Agent, remove
the Shared Collateral Agent and appoint a successor Shared Collateral Agent, such removal to be
effective upon the acceptance of such appointment by the successor and the payment of all fees and
expenses due and owing to the removed Shared Collateral Agent (including, but not limited to, the
fees and expenses of its counsel). If an Enforcement Event is not in effect, the Majority Class
Holders of each Class may, at any time upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the
Shared Collateral Agent and each other Administrative Agent, and with the consent of the Grantors
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) remove the Shared Collateral Agent and appoint a
successor Shared Collateral Agent, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of such
appointment by the successor and the receipt of approval by the Grantors and the payment of all
fees and expenses due and owing to the removed Shared Collateral Agent (including, but not limited
to, the fees and expenses of its counsel). The Shared Collateral Agent shall be entitled to Shared
Collateral Agent Fees to the extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before
such resignation or removal.

          (b) If at any time the Shared Collateral Agent shall resign or be removed or otherwise become
incapable of acting, or if at any time a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Shared Collateral
Agent for any other cause, a successor Shared Collateral Agent may be appointed by the Majority
Class Holders of each Class with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Ultimate
Parent, if no Enforcement Event is in effect, and otherwise by the Majority Class Holders of each
Class; provided, however, that should the Majority Class Holders of each Class not
act timely to appoint a successor Shared Collateral Agent, the Grantors may (whether or not an
Enforcement Event is then in effect) petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a
successor Shared Collateral Agent. The powers, duties, authority and title of the predecessor
Shared Collateral Agent shall be terminated and

27

 

cancelled without procuring the resignation of such predecessor and without any other
formality (except for the consent of the Majority Class Holders of each Class referred to above and
as may be required by applicable law) than appointment and designation of a successor in writing
duly delivered to the predecessor and the Grantors and the payment of the fees and expenses of the
predecessor Shared Collateral Agent as described in subsection 5.7(a) above. Such appointment and
designation shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts
therein recited, and this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents
shall vest in such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Majority Class Holders of each
Class, the Grantors, or the successor, execute and deliver an instrument (in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent) transferring to such successor all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such predecessor
hereunder and under the Shared Collateral Security Documents and shall deliver all Collateral held
by it or its agents to such successor. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing
from any Grantor be reasonably required by any successor Shared Collateral Agent for more fully and
certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties,
authority and title vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Shared Collateral Agent, any
and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such
successor, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by such Grantor. If such Grantor shall not have
executed and delivered any such deed, conveyance or other instrument within 10 days after it
received a written request from the successor Shared Collateral Agent to do so, or if an
Enforcement Event is in effect, the predecessor Shared Collateral Agent may execute the same on
behalf of such Grantor. Each Grantor hereby appoints any predecessor Shared Collateral Agent as
its agent and attorney to act for it as provided in the next preceding sentence.

          5.8 Status of Successor Shared Collateral Agent. Every successor Shared Collateral
Agent appointed pursuant to subsection 5.7 shall be a bank or financial institution (other than any
Administrative Agent or other Shared Collateral Secured Party (other than the Shared Collateral
Agent)) in good standing and having power to act as Shared Collateral Agent hereunder, incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and
generally recognized as capable of undertaking duties and obligations of the type imposed upon the
Shared Collateral Agent hereunder.

          5.9 Merger of the Shared Collateral Agent. Any Person into which the Shared
Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from
any merger or consolidation to which the Shared Collateral Agent shall be a party, shall be Shared
Collateral Agent under this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

          5.10 Co-Shared Collateral Agent; Separate Shared Collateral Agent. (a) If at any
time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction
in which any of the Shared Collateral shall be located, or to avoid any violation of law or
imposition on the Shared Collateral Agent of taxes by such jurisdiction not otherwise imposed on
the Shared Collateral Agent, or the Shared Collateral Agent shall be advised by counsel,
satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or prudent in the interest of the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties, or any Administrative Agent shall in writing so request the Shared Collateral
Agent and the Grantors, or the Shared Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable for its own
protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any Shared Collateral Security
Document, the Shared Collateral Agent and each of the Grantors shall execute and deliver all
instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or financial institution
or one or more persons (other than any Administrative Agent or other Shared Collateral Secured
Party (other than the Shared Collateral Agent)) approved by the Shared Collateral Agent and the
Grantors, either to act as co-agent or co-agents of all or any of the Shared Collateral under this
Intercreditor Agreement or under

28

 

any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents, jointly with the Shared Collateral Agent
originally named herein or therein or any successor Shared Collateral Agent, or to act as separate
agent or agents of any of the Shared Collateral. If any of the Grantors shall not have joined in
the execution of such instruments and agreements within 30 days after it receives a written request
from the Shared Collateral Agent to do so, or if an Enforcement Event is in effect, the Shared
Collateral Agent may act under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 5.10(a) without the
concurrence of such Grantors and execute and deliver such instruments and agreements on behalf of
such Grantors. Each of the Grantors hereby appoints the Shared Collateral Agent as its agent and
attorney to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 5.10(a) in either of such
contingencies.

          (b) Every separate agent and every co-agent, other than any successor Shared Collateral Agent
appointed pursuant to subsection 5.7, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act
and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions:

     (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Shared Collateral
Agent in respect of the custody, control and management of moneys, papers or securities
shall be exercised solely by the Shared Collateral Agent or any agent appointed by the
Shared Collateral Agent;

     (ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Shared
Collateral Agent hereunder and under the relevant Shared Collateral Security Document(s)
shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Shared Collateral Agent and
such separate agent or separate agents or co-agent or co-agents, jointly, as shall be
provided in the instrument appointing such separate agent or separate agents or co-agent or
co-agents, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed the Shared Collateral Agent shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act or acts, or unless the performance of such act or acts
would result in the imposition of any tax on the Shared Collateral Agent which would not be
imposed absent such joint act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate agent or separate agents or
co-agent or co-agents;

     (iii) no power given hereby or by the relevant Shared Collateral Security Documents to,
or which it is provided herein or therein may be exercised by, any such co-agent or
co-agents or separate agent or separate agents shall be exercised hereunder or thereunder by
such co-agent or co-agents or separate agent or separate agents except jointly with, or with
the consent in writing of, the Shared Collateral Agent, anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding;

     (iv) no agent hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of
any other agent hereunder; and

     (v) the Grantors and the Shared Collateral Agent, at any time by an instrument in
writing executed by them jointly, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate
agent or co-agent and, in that case by an instrument in writing executed by them jointly,
may appoint a successor to such separate agent or co-agent, as the case may be, anything
contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Grantors shall not have joined in
the execution of any such instrument within 30 days after it receives a written request from
the Shared Collateral Agent to do so, or if an Enforcement Event is in effect, the Shared
Collateral Agent shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such
separate agent or co-agent and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the
Grantors, the Grantors hereby appointing the Shared Collateral Agent its agent and attorney
to act for it in such connection in such contingency. If the

29

 

Shared Collateral Agent shall have appointed a separate agent or separate agents or
co-agent or co-agents as above provided, the Shared Collateral Agent may at any time, by an
instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate agent or
co-agent and the successor to any such separate agent or co-agent shall be appointed by the
Grantors and the Shared Collateral Agent, or by the Shared Collateral Agent alone pursuant
to this subsection 5.10(b).

          5.11 Treatment of Payee or Indorsee by Shared Collateral Agent; Representatives of Secured
Parties. The Shared Collateral Agent may treat the registered holder or, if none, the
payee or indorsee of any promissory note or debenture evidencing a Secured Obligation as the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary,
whether such promissory note or debenture shall be past due or not.

exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Intercreditor Agreement or any Shared
Collateral Security Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Shared Collateral Agent, the
Required Shared Collateral Secured Parties, any Administrative Agent or any Shared Collateral
Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to any right or remedy which the Shared Collateral Agent, the Required Shared Collateral Secured
Parties, such Administrative Agent or such Shared Collateral Secured Party would otherwise have on
any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised
singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Shared Collateral Agent. Any such supplemental

30

 

agreement shall be binding upon the Grantors, each Administrative Agent, the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties and the Shared Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns.

          (b) Solely with the consent of the Administrative Agents (and without the consent of any other
Shared Collateral Secured Party), the Shared Collateral Agent and the Grantors, at any time and
from time to time, may enter into one or more agreements supplemental hereto or to any Shared
Collateral Security Document, (i) to add to the covenants of such Grantor for the benefit of the

Collateral Agent, and nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to give any other Person any
right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Intercreditor Agreement or any Shared
Collateral.

          6.10 Termination and Release. (a) Upon the termination of, and payment in full of
all of the Secured Obligations under, the RHDI Loan Documents, the Dex East Loan Documents or the
Dex West Loan Documents, as the case may be (in each case other than as a result of any Refinancing
secured by the Shared Collateral), the applicable Administrative Agent hereby agrees to promptly
provide a written direction to the Shared Collateral Agent stating that the conditions for release
of the Shared Collateral under such Loan Documents have been satisfied. Upon the Shared Collateral

Document). Upon receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agents of a
certificate from the Ultimate Parent stating that such withdrawal is permitted by (or the relevant
consent has been received under) the RHDI Loan Documents, the Dex East Loan Documents and the Dex
West Loan Documents, unless any Administrative Agent shall have given telephonic notice to the
Shared Collateral Agent, to the effect that the requested withdrawal is not permitted, prior to
5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day following such Administrative Agent’s
receipt of such Ultimate Parent certificate (such notice to be confirmed in writing no later than
12:00 p.m. noon (New York City time) on the sixth Business Day following such Administrative
Agent’s receipt of such certificate), the Shared Collateral Agent shall be authorized to, and shall
promptly at such Grantor’s request and expense, (i) execute and deliver such documents (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Grantor) as such Grantor
shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such security interest and Lien and the
release of such Shared Collateral (subject to any requirement with respect to the retention of the
Proceeds of a disposition of Shared Collateral subject to this Intercreditor Agreement or any
Shared Collateral Security Document)

32

 

and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to such Grantor all property (including any
promissory notes and related transfer documents), if any, constituting part of such withdrawn
Shared Collateral then held by the Shared Collateral Agent or any agent thereof. The Majority
Class Holders of each Class shall be deemed to have approved and authorized any such requested
withdrawal and release if the Shared Collateral Agent shall not have received any such notice from
the Administrative Agent representing such Class as described in this subsection 6.10(c). A copy of
any notice of any Administrative Agent referred to in this subsection 6.10(c) shall be sent
simultaneously to the Ultimate Parent and any applicable Grantor.

          (d) The guarantee and security provided by any Newco in respect of the Secured Obligations, as
applicable, and the Lien in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent on behalf of the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties on the Equity Interests of any Newco shall be automatically released, without any
consent of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, any Administrative Agent or the Shared Collateral
Agent: (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing or
would result therefrom and the net proceeds of such disposition are applied pursuant to clause
“Fourth” of subsection 3.4 to the extent required under the Credit Agreements if all or a portion
of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary is disposed of to a non-Affiliate pursuant to a
transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (provided, that, in the case of a partial
disposition, such Lien shall be released only with respect to the Equity Interests subject to such
disposition and the guarantee and security of such Subsidiary shall be released only if it is no
longer a Subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent following such disposition), or (ii) so long as no
Default or Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom
and the net proceeds of such disposition are applied pursuant to clause “Fourth” of subsection 3.4
to the extent required under the Credit Agreements, upon a public offering or spin-off of such
Subsidiary (which results in such entity no longer being a Subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent).

          (e) Upon receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent of written notice from each Administrative
Agent directing the Shared Collateral Agent to cause the Liens on a portion of the Shared
Collateral identified in such notice to be released and discharged, the security interests created
by the Shared Collateral Security Documents in such Shared Collateral shall terminate forthwith and
all right, title and interest of the Shared Collateral Agent in and to such Shared Collateral shall
revert to the Grantors, their successors and assigns.

          (f) Upon receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent of written certification from the applicable
Grantor or the Ultimate Parent that physical possession of any of such Grantor’s property then held
by the Shared Collateral Agent or any agent thereof (including any promissory notes and related
transfer documents, if any, constituting part of any Shared Collateral) is necessary or customary
to enforce (or would otherwise facilitate enforcement of) such Grantor’s remedies (or actions in
lieu of the exercise of enforcement) against counterparties, or for the purpose of correction of
defects, if any, under or in relation to any Shared Collateral, the Shared Collateral Agent shall
at such Grantor’s request and expense (i) cause to be delivered such property to such Grantor or
its agents pending any enforcement action, exercise of rights or other customary actions in lieu of
enforcement or for the purpose of correction of defects, if any, or loan (or other asset)
administration and servicing, in each case in respect of any such promissory notes and related
Shared Collateral, and (ii) execute and deliver such documents (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Grantors), and take such other actions in
connection with such escrowed release as such Grantor may reasonably request in writing; it being
understood that the delivery of any such property shall not constitute a release of the Shared
Collateral and any Proceeds received by such Grantor upon any such enforcement shall be subject to
this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents. A copy of any
certificate by a Grantor to the Shared Collateral Agent under this subsection 6.10(f) shall be sent
simultaneously to the Administrative Agents. The Grantors hereby agree to hold in escrow any
Shared Collateral delivered to the Grantors, as applicable, by the Shared Collateral Agent pursuant
to this subsection 6.10(f).

33

 

          (g) Upon receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent of written certification from the applicable
Grantor that such Grantor has entered into a binding contract for a sale of Shared Collateral to a
third party or other monetization (that is not a payment or prepayment), in each case, in a
transaction (a “Third Party Sale”) permitted by the Loan Documents, the Shared Collateral
Agent shall promptly at such Grantor’s request and expense (i) execute and deliver, for release
only upon completion of such Third Party Sale, such documents (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Grantors) as such Grantor shall reasonably
request to evidence the termination of the security interest and Lien in, and release of, such
Shared Collateral upon completion of such Third Party Sale (subject to any requirement with respect
to retention of the Proceeds of such Third Party Sale subject to this Intercreditor Agreement or
any Shared Collateral Security Document) and (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, for release
only upon completion of such Third Party Sale, to such Grantor all property (including any
promissory notes and related transfer documents), if any, constituting part of such Shared
Collateral (and any related collateral) then held by the Shared Collateral Agent or any agent
thereof. If no Event of Default or Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing when any
Grantor shall have entered into a binding contract for a Third Party Sale, but such Grantor shall
not have completed such Third Party Sale prior to a Foreclosure on such Shared Collateral or any
other intervening Enforcement Event, the Shared Collateral Agent shall provide the releases, and
otherwise act in accordance with the provisions of, this subsection 6.10 in respect of such Third
Party Sale notwithstanding such intervening Foreclosure or other Enforcement Event. A copy of any
certificate by a Grantor to the Shared Collateral Agent under this subsection 6.10(g) shall be sent
simultaneously to the Administrative Agents. The Grantors hereby agree to hold in escrow any
Shared Collateral delivered to the Grantors, as applicable, by the Shared Collateral Agent pursuant
to this subsection 6.10(g).

          (h) Upon receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent of written certification from the applicable
Grantor or the Ultimate Parent that such Grantor has received, or has received notice that it will
receive, a payment or prepayment in satisfaction or settlement in respect of any portion of the
Shared Collateral, the Shared Collateral Agent shall promptly at such Grantor’s request and expense
(i) execute and deliver, for release only upon receipt by the Grantor of such payment or prepayment
in satisfaction or settlement, such documents (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Shared Collateral Agent and the Grantors) as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence
termination of the security interest and Lien in, and release of, such Shared Collateral (subject
to any requirement with respect to retention of the Proceeds of such payment or prepayment under
this Intercreditor Agreement or any Shared Collateral Security Documents) and (ii) deliver, or
cause to be delivered, for release only upon receipt of such payment or prepayment in satisfaction
or settlement, to such Grantor all property (including any promissory notes and related transfer
documents), if any, constituting part of such Shared Collateral (and any related collateral) then
held by the Shared Collateral Agent or any agent thereof. A copy of any certificate by a Grantor
to the Shared Collateral Agent under this subsection 6.10(h) shall be sent simultaneously to the
Administrative Agents. The Grantors hereby agree to hold in escrow any Shared Collateral delivered
to the Grantors, as applicable, by the Shared Collateral Agent pursuant to this subsection 6.10(h).

          (i) Upon receipt by the Shared Collateral Agent of a written notice from each Administrative
Agent that (i) the security interests and Liens created under the Shared Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement in the Pledged Stock (as defined in the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) issued
by a Grantor have been released, or (ii) all of the Shared Collateral owned by a Grantor has been
released, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 6.10, such Grantor
shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Shared Collateral Security
Documents. Upon any such release, the Shared Collateral Agent will promptly, at such Grantor’s
written request and expense, (x) execute and deliver such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Grantor’s obligations under this
Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents and (ii) deliver or cause to
be delivered to such Grantor all property (including any

34

 

promissory notes and related transfer documents), if any, of such Grantor then remaining held by the
Shared Collateral Agent or any agent thereof.

          (j) This Intercreditor Agreement shall terminate when the security interests granted under
each of the Shared Collateral Security Documents have terminated and the Shared Collateral has been
released as provided in subsection 6.10(a); provided, that upon any Administrative Agent’s
written notification to the Shared Collateral Agent (pursuant to subsection 6.10(a) or otherwise)
that the Shared Collateral has been released by the Class of Shared Collateral Secured Parties
represented by such Administrative Agent, then such Administrative Agent (and the Class of Shared
Collateral Secured Parties represented thereby) shall no longer be subject to the terms of this
Intercreditor Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall no longer benefit from the
provisions in this Intercreditor Agreement, including but not limited to the right to share in
distributions pursuant to subsection 3.4; provided, further, that notwithstanding
the foregoing proviso, the provisions of subsections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 shall not be affected by
any such full or partial termination.

          6.11 Additional Grantors. Each Newco that is required to become a party to this
Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to any Loan Document shall become a Grantor by executing and
delivering (i) a joinder agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, (ii) a Shared
Collateral Assumption Agreement (as defined in the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and
(iii) causing to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and
certificates as are similar to those described in clause (e) of the definition of “Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement” of the RHDI Credit Agreement, clause (f) of the definition of “Collateral

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in

SECTION 7.

INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS

          7.1 Credit Agreement Debt. The Administrative Agents and each Shared Collateral
Secured Party with respect to the Secured Obligations shall be bound by the following terms and
conditions:

     (a) Notwithstanding any failure by any Shared Collateral Secured Party to perfect its
security interests in the Shared Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination
by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in the
Shared Collateral granted to the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, the priority and rights
as between Shared Collateral Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral shall be
as set forth herein;

     (b) As among the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, all Liens on the Shared Collateral
shall rank pari passu, no Shared Collateral Secured Party shall be entitled
to any preferences or priority over any other Shared Collateral Secured Party with respect
to the Shared Collateral (except as otherwise provided in subsection 3.4) and the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties shall share in the Shared Collateral and all Proceeds thereof in
accordance with the terms of this Intercreditor Agreement;

     (c) If any Shared Collateral Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or
otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor, because such
amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without
limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a
“Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of
set-off or otherwise, then the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such
Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the payment in
full of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Intercreditor
Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Intercreditor Agreement
shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish,
release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The
Shared Collateral Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from
any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made
in accordance with this Intercreditor Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it
being understood and agreed that the benefits of such avoidance action otherwise allocable
to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the
priorities set forth in this Intercreditor Agreement;

     (d) No such Shared Collateral Secured Party shall seek relief from the automatic stay
as provided in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any applicable
Bankruptcy Law or any other stay in respect of the Shared Collateral;

     (e) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any RHDI Secured Party,
Dex East Secured Party or Dex West Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding
or otherwise to any action taken by any Shared Collateral Secured Party, including

36

 

the seeking by any Shared Collateral Secured Party of adequate protection or the
asserting by any Shared Collateral Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under any
Shared Collateral Security Document or Loan Document in respect of the Secured Obligations,
the Shared Collateral Security Documents or otherwise;

     (f) So long as the Secured Obligations have not been paid or terminated in full,
whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, any
Shared Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Shared Collateral Secured Party in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the
Shared Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the
Shared Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties in the same
form as received;

     (g) Each such Shared Collateral Secured Party agrees that any Loan Document may be
amended at any time without the consent of any Shared Collateral Secured Party (except as
required by the terms of such Loan Document); provided, that (i) such amendment is
not inconsistent with this Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) this Intercreditor Agreement and
the Shared Collateral Security Documents may only be amended in accordance with the terms of
this Intercreditor Agreement;

     (h) Each such Shared Collateral Secured Party agrees that it will not enter into, or
accept the benefit of, any security agreement or mortgage to secure the Secured Obligations,
and will not file any financing statements with respect to its Secured Obligations, in each
case with respect to any assets of the Ultimate Parent or any direct or indirect Subsidiary
thereof (other than (i) in the case of the Dex East Secured Obligations, East Holdings and
its Subsidiaries, (ii) in the case of the Dex West Secured Obligations, West Holdings and
its Subsidiaries and (iii) in the case of the RHDI Secured Obligations, RHDI and its
Subsidiaries, it being understood that this Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared
Collateral Security Documents (together with the filings contemplated thereby) are the only
such security documents permitted to secure the Secured Obligations with any assets of the
Ultimate Parent or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof (other than (x) in the case of
the Dex East Secured Obligations, East Holdings and its Subsidiaries, (y) in the case of the
Dex West Secured Obligations, West Holdings and its Subsidiaries and (z) in the case of the
RHDI Secured Obligations, RHDI and its Subsidiaries); and

     (i) Until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, any Shared Collateral,
including without limitation any such Shared Collateral constituting Proceeds, that may be
received by any Shared Collateral Secured Party in violation of this Intercreditor Agreement
shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Shared Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with
any necessary endorsements, and each Shared Collateral Secured Party hereby authorizes the
Shared Collateral Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for any Shared Collateral
Secured Party (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

          7.2 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of
the Shared Collateral Secured Parties (and, to the extent applicable, the Grantors) hereunder,
shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document;

     (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other
modification,

37

 

whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding
or restatement of any Loan Document;

     (iii) prior to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, any exchange, release,
voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any Lien in any Shared Collateral or any other
collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of
conduct or otherwise, or any Refinancing of all or any portion of the Secured Obligations or
any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

     (iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any Shared Collateral
Secured Party in respect of this Intercreditor Agreement.

          7.3 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Grantors. Each Shared
Collateral Secured Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial
condition of each of the Borrowers and each of the Grantors and all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the RHDI Secured Obligations, the Dex East Secured Obligations or
the Dex West Secured Obligations. No Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have any duty to advise
any other Shared Collateral Secured Party of information known to it regarding such condition or
any such circumstances. In the event any Shared Collateral Secured Party, in its sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other Shared
Collateral Secured Party, it shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such information to
such other Shared Collateral Secured Party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to
undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (iii) to disclose any
other information.

Agreement, Servicer agrees to provide to each Client Company the administrative and
other services identified in Schedule A as to be performed for such Client
Company (collectively with any New Services, the “Services”). The parties
hereto may, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, negotiate in good
faith for services not otherwise specifically identified in Schedule A (each, a
“New Service”). Any agreement among the parties on the terms of any such New
Service shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement and thereafter such New
Service shall be a “Service” for all purposes of this Agreement. At all times during
the performance of the Services, employees of Servicer or other persons performing
Services hereunder (including any agents, temporary employees, independent third
parties and consultants of Servicer) shall not be deemed to be employees of any Client
Company on account of such Services. Servicer shall not be required to perform any
Services hereunder that conflict with or violate any Applicable Law or third-party
rights.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Service Standard. Servicer shall use the degree of skill, care and
diligence in the performance of the Services that an experienced, qualified, prudent
and reputable provider of similar services under a similar services agreement would use
acting in like circumstances in accordance with applicable industry standards and all
Applicable Laws, including all data protection and privacy laws. Servicer shall act
honestly and in good faith in providing the Services and shall provide the Services to
the Client Companies on a non-discriminatory basis and without mark-up or profit by
Servicer; provided that the Charges and Stewardship Costs may be marked up or
provide a profit for Servicer if required by any Applicable Tax Law.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Attorney-in-Fact.

	 	(i)	 	Subject to Section 2(c)(ii), each Client Company hereby
appoints Servicer as such Client Company’s attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of such Client Company and in the name of such
Client Company or otherwise, from time to time in Servicer’s discretion, but
subject to the direction of such Client Company, to take such actions on

5

 

	 	 	 	behalf of such Client Company as may be necessary or advisable for purposes
of performing the Services.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Anything in Section 2(c)(i) or elsewhere in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Servicer is not authorized to
execute this Agreement on behalf of or as attorney-in-fact for any Client
Company or to execute any amendment, modification or waiver to or under this
Agreement or any other agreement to which Servicer is a party.

	3.	 	Charges for Services. Each Client Company shall pay the following charges to
Servicer for the Services provided by Servicer pursuant to this Agreement (the
“Charges”).

	 	(a)	 	Direct Costs. The Charges to each Client Company under this Agreement
shall include all: (i) of Servicer’s costs associated with performing a Service that
can be directly attributed to such Service for such Client Company; and (ii) costs
otherwise directly attributable to an individual Client Company (collectively,
“Direct Costs”).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Allocated Costs. The Charges to each Client Company under this
Agreement shall include such Client Company’s Allocated Share of all costs incurred by
Servicer that are not Direct Costs, including costs related to Services but that have
joint benefit for two or more Client Companies and Servicer’s overhead costs
(collectively, “Allocated Costs”). For the avoidance of doubt, Charges
allocated to any Client Company as Direct Costs or Allocated Costs (including such
Client Company’s share of any capital expenditures or capital lease obligations
incurred by Servicer) shall also be allocated to such Client Company for financial
statement purposes.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Allocated Share. Each Client Company’s “Allocated Share” for
purposes of this Agreement shall be determined as follows:

	 	(i)	 	For each Service that directly benefits a Client Company, such
Client Company’s Allocated Share of the Allocated Costs for such Service shall
be equal to such Client Company’s annual Net Revenue for the preceding calendar
year divided by the total applicable annual Net Revenue of all of the Client
Companies receiving the benefits of such Service for the same period (rounded
to the nearest one percent); provided that the sum of the Allocated Shares of
all Client Companies receiving the benefit of any Service must equal 100%. The
Client Companies’ initial Allocated Shares for Services shall be as set forth
on Schedule B. Effective on January 1st of each calendar
year during the term of this Agreement, and upon the addition or removal of any
Client Company pursuant to Section 18, Servicer shall reset the Client
Companies’ respective Allocated Shares for each Service in accordance with this
Section 3(c)(i). Upon final determination of any such reallocation by
Servicer, Servicer shall submit for review and approval by each Client Company
a written statement of such reallocation and the assumptions and calculations
underlying such

6

 

	 	 	 	reallocation set forth in reasonable detail. All changes to determinations
of Direct Costs, Allocated Shares and Allocated Costs shall only apply on a
prospective basis.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Each Client Company’s Allocated Share for purposes of
Sections 4 and 6 shall be equal to each Client Company’s
Allocated Share set forth in Section 3(c)(i) for a Service that
benefits all of the Client Companies.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	(A) Not less than once every five years during the term of
this Agreement and (B) upon any acquisition or divestiture by RHD Corp or any
of its direct or indirect subsidiaries of assets accounting (individually or in
the aggregate with all other acquisitions or divestitures from the Effective
Date) for at least 10% of the consolidated revenues or consolidated expenses of
RHD Corp and its subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the board of
directors of RHD Corp acting in good faith), Servicer shall commission a
nationally recognized accounting firm or financial institution to review the
fairness of the shared Allocated Costs and the corresponding allocation
methodology set forth in this Section 3(c).

	 	(d)	 	Determination of Charges. Servicer shall make all determinations and
allocations of all Direct Costs to each Client Company and the determination of each
Client Company’s Allocated Share and the allocation of Allocated Costs to each Client
Company on a fair, reasonable and equitable basis and as may be required by Applicable
Law. For the avoidance of doubt, Servicer’s costs to be included in the Direct Costs
and Allocated Costs shall include any and all costs of Servicer in performing the
Services and otherwise in operating its business, including costs for labor, material,
third-party services, overhead, taxes, legal services and information technology;
provided, however, that in no event shall costs included in Direct
Costs, Allocated Costs or Stewardship Costs include the allocation of indebtedness for
borrowed money or interest expense in respect thereof.

	4.	 	Stewardship Services and Costs. RHD Corp provides certain services to Servicer and
the other Client Companies related to RHD Corp’s operations as Servicer’s and the other Client
Companies’ parent that are not directly beneficial to Servicer or any individual Client
Company, but which indirectly benefit all of Servicer and the other Client Companies, as
further identified in Schedule C (collectively with any New Stewardship Services, the
“Stewardship Services”). The parties hereto may, from time to time during the term of
this Agreement, negotiate in good faith for services not otherwise specifically identified in
Schedule C (each, a “New Stewardship Service”). Any agreement among the
parties on the terms of any such New Stewardship Service shall be deemed to be an amendment to
this Agreement and thereafter such New Stewardship Service shall be a “Stewardship Service”
for all purposes of this Agreement. RHD Corp incurs certain costs associated with the
Stewardship Services (collectively, “Stewardship Costs”). Servicer shall, on behalf
of RHD Corp, pay all of the Stewardship Costs. Each Client Company other than RHD Corp shall
be responsible for reimbursing Servicer for its Allocated Share of such Stewardship Costs.

7

 

	5.	 	Payment.

	 	(a)	 	Daily Cash Settlements. For Charges that are associated with payments
made by Servicer on behalf of the Client Companies in the performance of Services, each
Client Company shall reimburse Servicer for such Client Company’s associated Direct
Costs, Allocated Costs in accordance with Schedule D and Allocated Share of the
Stewardship Costs in accordance with Schedule D.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Monthly Reconciliation. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
calendar month, Servicer shall submit for review and approval by each Client Company a
written statement of such Client Company’s Charges and Allocated Share of the
reimbursement of Stewardship Costs for such prior month. This monthly reconciliation
statement shall include the following information for the relevant period: (i) Charges
for Services as described in Section 3; (ii) daily cash settlement amounts as
described in Section 5(a); (iii) Services that have not yet been paid in cash
by Servicer; (iv) Stewardship Cost reimbursement amounts as described in Section
4; and (v) overpayment or underpayment amounts as defined in Section 5(c).
Charges that have not resulted in actual cash disbursements shall reside in their
respective intercompany accounts until such time as the Charges have been paid by
Servicer.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Settlement of Monthly Reconciliation. Each Client Company may request
a written report from Servicer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the
Services rendered and costs incurred and other relevant information to support the
Charges and Stewardship Cost reimbursements included in the monthly reconciliation
statement as described in Section 5(b). If the Charges and Stewardship Cost
reimbursements for a Client Company in such written statement are lower than the actual
Charges and Stewardship Cost reimbursements paid by such Client Company during such
prior month, the amount of the difference shall be applied as a credit to the next
day’s settlements pursuant to Section 5(a) until fully consumed;
provided, that to the extent such credit is not fully applied to Charges and
Stewardship Cost reimbursements within three (3) Business Days (or after the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, one Business Day) of such written
statement, Servicer shall reimburse such Client Company for the remaining amount of
such credit in cash. If the Charges and Stewardship Cost reimbursements for a Client
Company in such written statement are higher than the actual Charges and Stewardship
Cost reimbursements paid by such Client Company during such prior month, the amount of
the difference shall be paid no later than the next business day by such Client Company
to Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of the overpayment or
underpayment of any Client Company in any month is less than $100,000, no settlement
payment or credit shall be made and the amount of such overpayment or underpayment will
be rolled forward to be considered in the next month’s reconciliation until such time
as the cumulative amount of such overpayment or underpayment exceeds $100,000, at which
time such difference shall be paid or credited as set forth above.

8

 

	 	(d)	 	Annual Non-Cash Settlements. For each year during the term of this
Agreement and no later than the earlier of (i) 10 days after the date that RHD Corp is
required to file a report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
(whether or not RHD Corp is so subject to such reporting requirements), and (ii) 90
days after the end of each fiscal year of RHD Corp, Servicer shall provide each Client
Company with a written statement of all non-cash Charges and Stewardship Cost
reimbursements for the previous calendar year for each Client Company. Settlement of
such non-cash Charges and Stewardship Cost reimbursements shall be handled by the
parties with non-cash dividends or similar distributions or contributions that do not
involve the transfer of property.

	6.	 	Funding Account. Servicer shall establish a funding account for making payment of
the Client Companies’ obligations on behalf of the Client Companies pursuant to the
performance of the Services and Stewardship Services (the “Funding Account”). The
Funding Account shall initially be pre-funded with $5 million, and, promptly following the
Effective Date, each Client Company shall pay its Allocated Share of such initial funding
amount to Servicer. From time to time, if Servicer determines in its reasonable discretion
that additional funding for the Funding Account is needed to continue to make payments of the
Client Companies’ obligations on behalf of the Client Companies pursuant to the performance of
the Services and Stewardship Services, Servicer shall provide the Client Companies with
written notice of the same setting forth such additional funding amount, and promptly after
receipt of such notice each Client Company shall pay its Allocated Share of such additional
funding amount to Servicer; provided, that Servicer shall not request any such
additional funding by the Client Companies in an aggregate amount exceeding the aggregate
amount of Charges and reimbursements of Stewardship Costs to be made by the Client Companies
during the period of two (2) Business Days following such additional funding. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at no time shall the daily closing balance of the Funding Account exceed $25
million. Servicer shall be permitted to invest the funds in the Funding Account in Permitted
Investments. Servicer shall have no liability to any Client Company for any losses associated
with any Permitted Investment made by Servicer. Any proceeds from any Permitted Investment
made with funds from the Funding Account shall be quantified on a monthly basis and applied as
a credit to each Client Company in the next day’s settlements pursuant to Section
5(a), each such credit to be equal to each Client Company’s Allocated Share of such
proceeds at the date of determination.
	 
	7.	 	Contributions / Distributions of Services Assets. From time to time, a Client
Company may, through one or more transactions, contribute and/or distribute certain Services
Assets to Servicer. All such contributions and distributions of Services Assets shall be
conducted pursuant to separate agreement(s) or transaction(s) between the parties;
provided that after the date of the contribution or distribution of all of the
applicable Services Assets set forth on Schedule E for a Client Company, such Client
Company shall not make any contribution or distribution of any Services Asset that was
thereafter acquired by such Client Company in contemplation of such contribution or
distribution. The parties intend that such contributions and distributions shall include the
Services

9

 

	 	 	Assets listed on Schedule E. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall
constitute a warranty from any Client Company with respect to such Services Assets or the
contribution or distribution of such Services Assets to Servicer.
	 
	8.	 	Reports. Without limiting Section 5(b), Servicer shall provide each Client Company
all reports reasonably requested by such Client Company and which Servicer reasonably
determines that it can provide. Servicer will provide such reports with the frequencies
agreed upon by the applicable parties.
	 
	9.	 	Accounting Records and Documents. Servicer shall be responsible for maintaining full
and accurate books, accounts and records (“Books”) of all Services and Stewardship
Servicers rendered pursuant to or associated with this Agreement and all Direct Costs,
Allocated Costs and Stewardship Costs.
	 
	10.	 	Additional Obligations of the Client Companies.

	 	(a)	 	Instructions and Information. Each Client Company acknowledges that
some of the Services to be provided hereunder require instructions and information
(including access to Client Company Materials) from such Client Company, which such
Client Company shall provide to Servicer in sufficient time for Servicer to provide or
procure such Services. Any failure by Servicer to provide any Service due to any delay
by any Client Company in providing such instructions or information shall not be
considered a breach of Servicer’s obligations herein, and Servicer shall have the right
to suspend the performance of any affected Service until such instruction or
information is provided. Servicer shall treat all such instructions and information as
Confidential Information of the applicable Client Company.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Client Company Materials. Each Client Company retains all right, title
and interest in and to its Client Company Material. Each Client Company hereby grants
to Servicer a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, non-transferable
license to access, use, display and make derivative works of its Client Company
Material solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services. This license: (i)
shall be limited to the term of this Agreement (including any period pursuant to which
Servicer is providing transition assistance to such Client Company pursuant to
Section 13(a)); and (ii) with respect to any third-party owned Client Company
Material, is granted solely to the extent permissible under the applicable third-party
agreement. Servicer shall have administrative responsibility for obtaining and
maintaining all consents and licenses for Servicer’s access and use of any Client
Company Material that may be necessary for Servicer in providing the Services, and each
Client Company shall cooperate with Servicer in obtaining and maintain such consents
and licenses and such Client Company shall pay all costs associated therewith with
respect to its Client Company Material.

10

in full force and effect with respect to Servicer and all Client Companies until terminated

transition assistance is being provided, the applicable Client Company shall continue
to pay the Charges for such transition assistance and any other Services provided in

legally binding obligation to keep such disclosed information confidential; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	was independently developed by the Recipient without reference
to the disclosed information.

	 	(d)	 	Compelled Disclosure. If a Recipient is compelled by court decree,
subpoena or other Applicable Law to disclose any of the Confidential Information of the

reasonable good faith efforts to: (i) disclose only the specific Confidential
Information legally required to be disclosed and only to the extent required; and

	15.	 	Indemnification. Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Client
Company and its directors, officers and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any and all third-party claims, suits, actions, liabilities,
fines, penalties, costs, losses, damages and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses
of attorneys and other reasonable costs of investigation and defense), whether incurred by or
asserted against such Indemnified Parties arising out of or resulting from the intentional
tort, reckless conduct, gross negligence or bad faith (including dishonest, fraudulent or
criminal acts or omissions) on the part of Servicer in performing or failing to perform its
obligations hereunder.

12

 

	16.	 	Limitation on Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HERETO BE LIABLE HEREUNDER FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING
LOST OR ANTICIPATED REVENUES OR PROFITS RELATING TO THE SAME) ARISING FROM ANY CLAIM RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROVISION OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
HEREUNDER, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD
OF THE SAME. IN ADDITION, SERVICER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY CLIENT COMPANY WITH RESPECT
TO THE PERFORMANCE OF OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY STEWARDSHIP SERVICE.
	 
	17.	 	Representations and Warranties; Disclaimer.

	 	(a)	 	Servicer Warranties. Servicer hereby represents and warrants to each

the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation; and (ii) it has all
requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
this Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Client Companies Warranties. Each Client Company hereby represents and
warrants to Servicer that: (i) it is an entity validly existing and in good standing

requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
this Agreement.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, ARE MADE OR CREATED AMONG THE

	18.	 	Changes in Parties. New direct or indirect subsidiaries of RHD Corp, which come into
existence after the Effective Date, may become additional Client Companies upon mutual
agreement of the parties, including agreement of any initial payment to the Funding Account to
be made by such additional Client Companies, and shall thereafter constitute “Client
Companies” for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition, any Client Company that no longer
is a direct or indirect subsidiary of RHD Corp shall no longer be considered a party to this
Agreement, and thereafter Servicer shall no longer have an obligation to provide Services to

	 	(b)	 	Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement shall constitute the
entire agreement among the parties with respect to the rights and responsibilities set
forth herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or
verbal, to the extent such agreements pertain to the rights and responsibilities set
forth herein. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing executed by all parties;
provided that Servicer and any Client Company may amend Schedule A with
respect to the provision of a Service solely to such Client Company without the written
consent of the other parties.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to the
conflicts of law provisions) of the State of New York. Each of the parties agrees that
all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or
the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement, including claims
seeking redress or asserting rights under any Applicable Law, shall be brought
exclusively in the federal or state courts residing within the State of New York, and
the appellate courts having jurisdiction with respect to appeals from such courts, and
each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to personnel jurisdiction
in such courts, and waives any objection to such venue or jurisdiction or to
inconveniency of such courts.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Subcontractors; Assignment.

	 	(i)	 	With the consent of the Client Companies, such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, Servicer may hire or engage one or more
subcontractors or other third parties to perform any or all of its obligations
under this Agreement; provided, that Servicer remains ultimately
responsible for all of its obligations hereunder; provided,
further, that the terms of any such engagement or hiring of any
Affiliate of the Servicer, RHD Corp or their respective Subsidiaries shall be
on terms and conditions not less favorable, considered as a whole, to Servicer
and the Client Companies than could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis from
unrelated third parties.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Except as permitted by Section 19(d)(i), no party
hereto may assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement
or any of its rights hereunder, and may not delegate any of its duties or
obligations

16

 

	 	 	 	hereunder, in each case in whole or in part, without the prior written
consent of, in the case of Servicer, all of the Client Companies, or in the
case of any Client Company, Servicer. Any assignment or delegation made in
violation of this Section 19(d)(ii) shall be void and of no effect.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding on the parties
hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

	 	(e)	 	Independent Contractor. Except as set forth in Section 2(c):
(i) the relationship among the parties, as established by this Agreement, is solely
that of independent contractors; (ii) no party may assume or create any obligation,
representation, warranty or guarantee, express or implied, on behalf of any other party
for any purpose whatsoever; and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to make
any party the agent of another other party hereto. This Agreement does not create any
partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship between the parties hereto.
	 
	 	(f)	 	No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 15
with respect to the Indemnified Parties, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the
parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or
entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under
or by reason of this Agreement.
	 
	 	(g)	 	Severability. Wherever possible, each provision hereof shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but in
case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions hereof, unless such a
construction would be unreasonable.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Force Majeure. Except for each Client Company’s obligations to pay
Charges and Stewardship Cost reimbursements herein, each party hereto shall be excused
from any performance required hereunder if such performance is rendered impossible or
unfeasible due to any catastrophe or other major event beyond its reasonable control,
including: (i) war, riot, acts of terrorism and insurrection; (ii) Applicable Law;
(iii) strikes, lockouts and other serious labor disputes; (iv) floods, fires,
explosions and other natural disasters; (v) any delay of sources to supply materials
and equipment; (vi) government priorities; and (vii) labor or transportation problems.
When such events have abated, the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall
resume.
	 
	 	(i)	 	Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement: (i) the words
“include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words
“without limitation;” (ii) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (iii) the words
“herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a
whole.

17

 

	 	 	 	Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (1) to Sections and
Schedules mean the Sections of and the Schedules attached to this Agreement; (2) to
a contract, instrument or other document means such contract, instrument or other
document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent
permitted by the provisions thereof and by this Agreement; and (3) to a statute
means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor
legislation thereto and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Schedules referred
to herein shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the
same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. Headings to Sections are
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of or to
affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be
construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or
interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to
be drafted.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Counterparts. This Agreement is legally binding when, but not until,
each party has received from the others a counterpart of this Agreement signed by an
authorized representative of such other parties. The parties’ representatives may sign
separate, identical counterparts of this Agreement; taken together, they constitute one
agreement. A signed counterpart of this document may be delivered by any reasonable
means, including facsimile or other electronic transmission.

right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

     (c) Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and
from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor

 

			
	2	 	Subject to the requirements of the Credit

hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights
and remedies of the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party hereunder.

     (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all
the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Newco Subordinated Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full and any
Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time
during the term of each Credit Agreement the applicable Borrower may be free from any Borrower
Obligations.

     (e) No payment made by any of the Borrowers, any of the Newco Subordinated Guarantors, any
other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Shared Collateral Agent or any
Shared Collateral Secured Party from any of the Borrowers, any of the Newco Subordinated
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in
payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect
the liability of any Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such
payment (other than any payment made by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor in respect of the
Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Newco Subordinated Guarantor in
respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum
liability of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are paid in
full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be terminated.

     2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that a Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder, such Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall be entitled to seek
and receive contribution from and against any other Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereunder which
has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor’s right of
contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Newco Subordinated
Guarantor to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, and each Newco
Subordinated Guarantor shall remain liable to the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereunder.

     2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Newco
Subordinated Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Newco Subordinated
Guarantor by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party, no Newco
Subordinated Guarantor shall exercise any rights of subrogation to any of the rights of the Shared
Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party against any Borrower or any other Newco
Subordinated Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the
Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations, nor shall any Newco Subordinated Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Newco Subordinated Guarantor in
respect of payments made by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to
the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties by any Borrower on account of
the Borrower Obligations are paid in full and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be
terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Newco Subordinated Guarantor on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in
full, such amount shall be held by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor in trust for the Shared
Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such
Newco Subordinated Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Newco Subordinated
Guarantor, be turned over to the Shared Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Newco
Subordinated Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor to the Shared Collateral

4

 

Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

     2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Newco
Subordinated Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Newco Subordinated Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Newco Subordinated Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower
Obligations made by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party may be
rescinded by the Shared Collateral Agent or such Shared Collateral Secured Party and any of the
Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower 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, amended,
modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Shared Collateral Agent
or any Shared Collateral Secured Party and the 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 Shared Collateral Agent (or the RHDI Administrative Agent, the Dex East
Administrative Agent, the Dex West Administrative Agent or the requisite Lenders under the
applicable Credit Agreement, 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 Shared Collateral Agent
or any Shared Collateral Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Shared Collateral Agent nor any other
Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any
Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained
in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

     2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor
waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared
Collateral Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended
or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between any
of the Borrowers and any of the Newco Subordinated Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Shared
Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in
this Section 2. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand
for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Borrowers or any of the Newco
Subordinated Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Newco Subordinated
Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed
as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity
or enforceability of any Loan Document, any of the Borrower 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 Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party, (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 any Borrower or any other Person against any Shared Collateral Agent
or any Shared Collateral Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without
notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such Newco Subordinated Guarantor) which constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Borrower
Obligations, or of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section
2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing
its rights and remedies hereunder against any Newco Subordinated Guarantor, the Shared Collateral
Agent and any Shared Collateral Secured Party 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 any

5

 

Borrower, any other Newco Subordinated 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 Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party to make any such
demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any
other Newco Subordinated 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 any Borrower, any
other Newco Subordinated Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee
or right of offset, shall not relieve any Newco Subordinated 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 Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral
Secured Party against any Newco Subordinated Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

     2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 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 Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
Shared Collateral Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of any Borrower or any Newco Subordinated Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any
Borrower or any Newco Subordinated Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.

     2.7 Payments. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments
hereunder will be paid to the Shared Collateral Agent for the sole benefit of the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the office of the Shared Collateral
Agent located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York.

[SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

     3.1 [Grant of Security Interest. Subject to Section 3.2, each Newco
Subordinated Guarantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Shared Collateral Agent, and hereby
grants to the Shared Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, a
security interest in all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by
such Newco Subordinated Guarantor or in which such Newco Subordinated Guarantor now has or at any
time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Pledged
Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of such Newco Subordinated
Guarantor’s Obligations:

     (a) all Pledged Stock; and

     (b) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of
any and all of the Pledged Stock and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person
with respect to any of the Pledged Stock.

     3.2 Excluded Property. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth
in this [Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in, and the
Pledged Collateral shall not include, any property to the extent that such grant of a security
interest (a) is prohibited by any Requirement of Law of a Governmental Authority or requires a
consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Requirement of Law, (b) is
prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or
requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other
document evidencing or giving rise to such property, or (c) in the case of any Pledged Stock, any
applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except in each case

6

 

to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement,
instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition,
breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law.]

Agent and each Shared Collateral Secured Party that:

Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3
(which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on such Schedule, have been

UCC is applicable in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the
terms hereof against all creditors of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor and any Persons purporting

(including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against or with respect
to the Pledged Collateral, except that no such charge need be paid if the amount or validity
thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in
conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Newco

forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Pledged Collateral or any interest therein.

     5.3 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest. Such Newco Subordinated

any Newco Subordinated Guarantor formed or acquired since the end of the previous fiscal quarter.

     5.5 Other Information; Further Documentation. [Subject to the provisions of

benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without
limitation, (a) filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code
(or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests
created hereby and (b) in the case of Pledged Stock and any other relevant Pledged Collateral,

the Credit Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement) on any of the Pledged
Collateral which would adversely affect the ability of the Shared Collateral Agent to exercise any
of its remedies hereunder; and

     (b) the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Pledged Collateral or on the security interests
created hereby.

     5.8 Pledged Stock. (a) Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated
Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, if such Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall become entitled to
receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate
representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or
reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or
rights in respect of the Equity Interests of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution
of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in

signature guaranteed, to be held by the Shared Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the
Pledged Stock upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Shared

and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Stock or any
property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Stock pursuant to the

thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security
interest in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Shared Collateral Agent to be
held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money
or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Stock shall be received by such Newco
Subordinated Guarantor, such Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall, until such money or property is
paid or delivered to the Shared Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the
Shared Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, segregated from
other funds of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor, as additional collateral security for the
Obligations.

     (b) In the case of each Newco Subordinated Guarantor which is an Issuer, such Issuer agrees
that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Stock issued by it
and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the
Shared Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in
Section 5.8(a) with respect to the Pledged Stock issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections

issued by it.

     5.9 Further Assurances. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the
Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, such Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall ensure that

with respect to such Newco Subordinated Guarantor.]

SECTION 6. SUBORDINATION

     6.1 Agreement to Subordinate. The Shared Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Shared Collateral Secured Parties agrees that the Newco Subordinated Guarantor Obligations of each
Newco Subordinated Guarantor are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
provided in this Section 6, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Senior
Indebtedness and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of its
Senior Indebtedness. Only Indebtedness of each Newco Subordinated Guarantor that is Senior
Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Newco Subordinated Guarantor Obligations in accordance with
the provisions set forth herein.

     6.2 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution of
the assets or securities of any Newco Subordinated Guarantor upon a total or partial liquidation or
a total or partial dissolution of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Newco Subordinated
Guarantor or its property or in the event of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
marshalling of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor’s assets and liabilities:

     (a) holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall be entitled to
receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents in respect of such Senior Indebtedness
(including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any
proceeding at the rate specified in the documents governing such Senior Indebtedness, whether or
not a claim for such interest would be allowed) before the Shared Collateral Agent, on behalf of
the Shared Collateral Secured Parties,

10

 

shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on
the Newco Subordinated Guarantor Obligations; and

     (b) until the Senior Indebtedness of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor is paid in full in cash
or cash equivalents, any payment or distribution to which the Shared Collateral Secured Parties
would be entitled but for this Section 6 shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as
their interests may appear.

     6.3 Default on Senior Indebtedness. No Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall pay
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or other payment obligations in respect of, the
Obligations or make any deposit pursuant to any defeasance provision or otherwise purchase or
retire any Obligations if (a) any Senior Indebtedness is not paid when due in cash or cash
equivalents or (b) any other default on Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such Senior
Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (i) the default
has been cured or waived in writing and any such acceleration has been rescinded in writing or (ii)
such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents

     6.4 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a payment or distribution is made
to the Shared Collateral Secured Parties that due to the subordination provisions of this Section 6
should not have been made to them, the Shared Collateral Secured Parties who receive the payment or
distribution shall hold such payment or distribution in trust for holders of Senior Indebtedness
and pay such payment or distribution over to them as their interests may appear.

     6.5 Relative Rights. This Section 6 defines the relative rights of the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Agreement shall:

     (a) impair, as between each Newco Subordinated Guarantor and the Shared Collateral Secured
Parties, the obligation of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Newco Subordinated Guarantor Obligations
in accordance with its terms; or

     (b) prevent the Shared Collateral Agent, any Administrative Agent or any Shared Collateral
Secured Parties from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or an Event of Default,
subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions otherwise payable
to Shared Collateral Secured Parties.

     6.6 Subordination May Not Be Impaired By Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor.
No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of Newco Subordinated
Guarantor Obligations shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by any Newco Subordinated
Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Agreement.

     6.7 Rights of Shared Collateral Agent. (a) Notwithstanding Section 6.3, the
Shared Collateral Agent may continue to pay the Obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than
one Business Day prior to the date of such payment, the Shared Collateral Agent receives written
notice to it that payments may not be made under this Section 6. The Ultimate Parent, each Newco
Subordinated Guarantor, or a holder of Senior Indebtedness may give such notice; provided,
however, that, if any class of Senior Indebtedness has a representative, only such
representative may give such notice.

     (b) The Shared Collateral Agent in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not the Shared Collateral Agent. The
Shared

11

 

Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section 6 with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other
holder of Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in any Loan Document shall deprive the Shared Collateral
Agent of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Section 6 shall apply to claims of, or
payments to, the Shared Collateral Agent in its capacity as Shared Collateral Agent under the Loan
Documents.

     6.8 Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to
be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the
notice given to the applicable representative (if any).

     6.9 Section 6 Not To Prevent Events of Default Or Limit Right To Accelerate.
The failure to make a payment in respect of the Obligations by reason of any provision in this
Section 6 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default
under any of the Credit Agreements. Nothing in this Section 6 shall have any effect on the right
of the Shared Collateral Secured Parties or any Administrative Agent to accelerate the maturity of
the Obligations.

     6.10 Shared Collateral Agent and Shared Collateral Secured Parties Entitled to
Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 6, the Shared Collateral Agent
and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or decree of
a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 6.2
are pending, (b) upon a certificate of any Person making such payment or distribution to the Shared
Collateral Agent or to the Shared Collateral Secured Parties or (c) upon the representatives for
the holders of Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other
Indebtedness of the Newco Subordinated Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 6.
In the event that the Shared Collateral Agent determines that evidence is required with respect to
the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Section 6, the Shared Collateral Agent may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Shared Collateral Agent, as to the amount of
Senior Indebtedness or the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment
or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Section 6, and,
if such evidence is not furnished, the Shared Collateral Agent may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The
provisions of Section 5.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be applicable to all actions or
omissions of actions by the Shared Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 6.

     6.11 Shared Collateral Agent to Effectuate Subordination. Each Shared
Collateral Secured Party by accepting the benefit of this Agreement hereby authorizes and directs
the Shared Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral Secured Party’s behalf to take such action as
may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties and the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Section 6 and
appoints the Shared Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     6.12 Shared Collateral Agent Not Fiduciaries for Holders of Senior
Indebtedness. The Shared Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly
pay over or distribute to the Shared Collateral Secured Parties or any other Person, money or
assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 6 or
otherwise.

     7.1 Pledged Stock. (a) Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated
Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, unless an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be

Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, if an

Newco Subordinated Guarantors, (i) the Shared Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any

Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Shared
Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Shared Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter
exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting
of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to

except to account for property actually received by it, but the Shared Collateral Agent shall have
no duty to any Newco Subordinated Guarantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and
shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

     (c) Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, each
Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Stock
pledged by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received
by it from the Shared Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Enforcement Event has
occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
without any other or further instructions from such Newco Subordinated Guarantor, and each Newco
Subordinated Guarantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii)
upon delivery of any notice to such effect pursuant to Section 7.1(a), pay any dividends or other
payments with respect to the Pledged Stock directly to the Shared Collateral Agent.

     7.2 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Shared Collateral Agent. Subject to the
provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, if an Enforcement Event shall
have occurred and be continuing, and the Shared Collateral Agent, upon the request of the requisite
Shared Collateral Secured Parties, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have given
notice thereof to the Newco Subordinated Guarantors, all Proceeds of Pledged Collateral received by
any Newco Subordinated Guarantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held

13

 

Guarantor in trust for the Shared Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties,
segregated from other funds of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt
by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor, be turned over to the Shared Collateral Agent in the exact
form received by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Newco Subordinated
Guarantor to the Shared Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds of Pledged Collateral
received by the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Shared Collateral Agent in a
Shared Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement. All Proceeds while held by the Shared Collateral Agent in a Shared
Collateral Account (or by such Newco Subordinated Guarantor in trust for the Shared Collateral
Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall
not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 7.3.

     7.3 Application of Moneys. Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated
Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of
moneys, cash dividends, payments or other proceeds constituting Pledged Collateral, whether or not
held by any in the Shared Collateral Account and other funds on deposit in the Shared Collateral
Account, in payment of the Obligations at the times and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement.

     7.4 Code and Other Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated
Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, if an Enforcement Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
upon the request of the requisite Shared Collateral Secured Parties, in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Shared Collateral Secured
Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the
Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Newco Subordinated Guarantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may
in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof (or
contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at
any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Shared Collateral Secured Party or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Subject to the
provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, any Shared Collateral Secured
Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law,
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Newco Subordinated Guarantor, which right or
equity is hereby waived and released. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor further agrees, subject to
the provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, at the Shared Collateral
Agent’s request, to assemble the Pledged Collateral and make it available to the Shared Collateral
Agent at places which the Shared Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Newco
Subordinated Guarantor’s premises or elsewhere. Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated
Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any
action taken by it pursuant to this Section 7.4, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses
of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of
the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Shared
Collateral Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with Section
7.3, and only after such application and after the payment by the Shared Collateral Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of law,

14

 

including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Shared
Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Newco Subordinated Guarantor. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Newco Subordinated Guarantor waives all claims, damages
and demands it may acquire against the Shared Collateral Secured Parties arising out of the
exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

     7.5 Registration Rights. (a) Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated
Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, if the Shared Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its
right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 7.4 at any time when an
Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, and if in the opinion of the Shared Collateral
Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold,
registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Newco Subordinated Guarantor
will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of
such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done
all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Shared Collateral Agent, necessary or
advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions
of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating
thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the
first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all
amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Shared Collateral
Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto.
Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, each Newco
Subordinated Guarantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Shared Collateral Agent shall designate
and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which
need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

     (b) Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor recognizes that the Shared Collateral Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which
will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Newco Subordinated
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms
less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
The Shared Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged
Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for
public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
Issuer would agree to do so.

     (c) Subject to the provisions of the Subordinated Guarantee Intercreditor Agreement, each

other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged
Stock pursuant to this Section 7.5 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other
applicable Requirements of Law. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor further agrees that a breach of
any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Shared
Collateral Agent and the Shared Collateral Secured Parties, that the Shared Collateral Agent and
the Shared Collateral Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and,

enforceable against such Newco Subordinated Guarantor, and such

15

 

Newco Subordinated Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an
action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Enforcement Event
has occurred.

     7.6 Deficiency. Each Newco Subordinated Guarantor shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral are
insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the
Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party to collect such deficiency.]

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

non-exercise by the Shared Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other
right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between
the Shared Collateral Agent and the other Shared Collateral Secured Parties, be governed by the

Collateral Agent nor any Shared Collateral Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written
instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Shared Collateral Agent or any
Shared Collateral Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver

any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A
waiver by the Shared Collateral Agent or any Shared Collateral Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the
Shared Collateral Agent or such Shared Collateral Secured Party would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Shared
Collateral Secured Party or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any of the Newco
Subordinated Guarantors against any of and all the obligations of such Newco Subordinated Guarantor
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Shared Collateral Secured Party,
irrespective of whether or not such Shared Collateral Secured Party shall have made any demand
under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Shared
Collateral Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Shared Collateral Secured Party may have.

unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into

opinion paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 below); the Loan Documents have been duly executed and
delivered by each party to the Loan Documents (except that no such assumption is
made with respect to the DE/IL Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion
paragraph 6 below); and each of the Loan Documents constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of each of the

 

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 6

parties thereto, enforceable against such parties
in accordance with their respective terms (except that no such assumption is made
with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion paragraph 6
below); and

(iii) the respective terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents do not, and
the execution, delivery and performance thereof do not, require any action or
approval by any governmental agency or private party (except that no such assumption
is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion
paragraph 7 below), and do not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a
default under the charter or other organizational document or by-laws of any party
to the Loan Documents (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the
DE/IL Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 below),
any contract, indenture, agreement, or other instrument to which any party to the
Loan Documents is a party or by which any such party is bound (except that no such
assumption is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in
opinion paragraph 5 below), or any law, order or decree of any court, administrative
agency or other governmental authority applicable to any such party (except that no
such assumption is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in
opinion paragraph 4 below).

     Our opinions set forth below are also subject to the qualification that we express no opinion
as to the effect of (i) compliance or non-compliance by any party to any Loan Document with any
state, federal, foreign or other laws or regulations applicable to it (except that no such
qualification is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion paragraph
4 below), or with any provision of any Loan Document to which it is a party, (ii) the legal or
regulatory status or the nature of the business of any party to the Loan Documents or (iii) the
failure of any party to the Loan Documents to be authorized to do business in any jurisdiction.

     On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations,
qualifications, assumptions and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The execution and delivery by each Delaware LLC Loan Party of, and performance of its
obligations under, each Loan Document to which such Delaware LLC Loan Party is a party (a) have
been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action or proceedings on the part
of such Delaware LLC Loan Party and (b) do not violate any provision of the Certificate of
Formation or LLC Agreement of such Delaware LLC Loan Party.

     2. The execution and delivery by each Delaware Corporation Loan Party of, and performance of
its obligations under, each Loan Document to which such Delaware Corporation Loan Party is a party
(a) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action or

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 7

proceedings on the part of such Delaware Corporation Loan Party and (b) do not violate any provision of the Charter or By-Laws of
such Delaware Corporation Loan Party.

     3. The execution and delivery by each Illinois RHDI Loan Party of, and performance of its
obligations under, each Loan Document to which such Illinois RHDI Loan Party is a party (a) have
been duly authorized by all necessary partnership action or proceedings on the part of such
Illinois RHDI Loan Party and (b) do not violate any provision of the Partnership Agreement of such
Illinois RHDI Loan Party.

     4. The execution and delivery by a Loan Party of, and performance of its obligations under,
each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party will not violate any Applicable Law
applicable to such Loan Party, the DGCL or the DLLCA.

     5. The execution and delivery by a Loan Party of, and performance of its obligations under,
each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party will not constitute or result in a breach
of, a default under or the acceleration of the maturity of any Loan Party’s obligations under any
of the contracts and agreements set forth on Schedule VI hereto (the “Specified
Agreements”), subject to the following:

(i) we express no opinion as to (A) compliance by any Loan Party with any financial
covenants contained in any such Specified Agreement or (B) any cross default or
cross acceleration provisions in any of the Specified Agreements which may be
triggered by a default under any agreement (other than the Specified Agreements) to
which any Loan Party is a party; and

(ii) we express no opinion as to whether the borrowing by any Loan Party under any
Incremental Revolving Credit Facility would result in a breach of, a default under
or the acceleration of the maturity of any Loan Party’s obligations under any of the
Specified Agreements.

     6. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each
DE/IL Loan Party party thereto. Each of the Loan Documents constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with
its terms, subject to the following:

(i) (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in equity or at law), including the possible unavailability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, (c) concepts of
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, (d) limitations imposed

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 8

by public policy under certain circumstances on waiver of rights or defenses, and (e)
the possible judicial application of foreign laws and foreign governmental or
judicial action affecting creditors’ rights;

(ii) certain of the remedial provisions in the Loan Documents may be further limited
or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but such law does not, in our opinion,
make the remedies afforded by such Loan Documents inadequate for the practical
realization of the benefits intended to be provided thereby;

(iii) enforcement of the Loan Documents may be subject to the terms of instruments,
contracts or other agreements which are included in the Collateral, the rights of
the other parties thereto and any claims or defenses of such other parties against
the Loan Parties arising under or outside such agreements;

(iv) the enforceability of Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement (and any similar
provisions contained in any Loan Document) may be limited by (a) laws, rules or
regulations (including any U.S. federal or state securities laws, rules or
regulations) rendering unenforceable indemnification contrary to any such laws,
rules or regulations and the public policy underlying such laws, rules or
regulations, (b) laws limiting the enforceability of provisions exculpating or
exempting a party from, or requiring indemnification of a party against, or
contribution to a party with respect to, liability for its own gross negligence,
misconduct or bad faith or the gross negligence, misconduct or bad faith of its
agent and (c) laws requiring collection and enforcement costs (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) to be reasonable;

(v) we express no opinion as to any provision of any instrument, agreement or other
document (a) regarding severability of the provisions thereof, (b) providing that
the assertion or employment of any right or remedy shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy, or that every right
and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy, or
that any delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall not impair any
right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof, (c) regarding waiver of usury, stay,
extension or similar laws, (d) requiring any person to take further action or to
enter into further agreements or instruments or to provide further assurances or
that might constitute an “agreement to agree,” (e) providing for an increase in an
interest rate or the payment of additional interest upon the occurrence of certain
defaults or the failure to perform certain obligations or imposing liquidated
damages or penalties, (f) regarding specific performance or

 

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 9

the grant of any power of attorney or (g) that purports to establish or may be construed to establish any
evidentiary standards;

(vi) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions in any Loan
Document to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing;

(vii) we express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions in any Loan
Document to the effect that a party will use “best efforts”, “reasonable best
efforts” or “commercially reasonable efforts”;

(viii) we express no opinion as to Section 9.08 or Section 9.10 of the Credit
Agreement (and, in each case, any similar provision contained in any of the Loan
Documents); and

(ix) we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Shared Collateral
Agent is located (other than the federal laws of the United States of America and
the laws of the State of New York) that limit the interest, fees or other charges
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Lender or the Shared Collateral
Agent may impose. In connection with the provisions of the Loan Documents which
relate to forum selection (including any waiver of any objection to venue in any
court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note that,
under Section 510 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules, a New York state
court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial and a United States
District Court has discretion to transfer an action to another United States
District Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) and to dismiss a cause of action on
the grounds of forum non conveniens, and can exercise such discretion sua sponte.
We express no opinion as to the subject matter jurisdiction
of any Federal court in the State of New York to adjudicate any controversy under
the Loan Documents.

     7. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of, and performance of its obligations under,
each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party, and the granting of any security interests
under each Security Document to which such Loan Party is a party, do not require any Governmental
Approval under any Applicable Law applicable to such Loan Party, the DGCL or the DLLCA, other than
(i) the filing of the Financing Statements in the Filing Office and any applicable filings with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or the United States Copyright Office and (ii) any
other such Governmental Approval that has been obtained or made and remains in effect on the date
hereof.

     8. After giving effect to the terms and provisions of the Reorganization Plan and the
Confirmation Order, no Loan Party is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended as of the date hereof.

     9. Neither the execution and delivery by the Loan Parties of the Credit Agreement, nor the
incurrence by the Loan Parties of the Loans thereunder, will result in a violation of Regulation U
or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     10. The provisions of the RHDI Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are effective to create in
favor of the Collateral Agent a valid security interest in the rights of the RHDI Loan Parties in
the Collateral (as defined in the RHDI Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the “RHDI
Collateral”) in which a security interest can be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC
(such non-excluded RHDI Collateral, the “RHDI Article 9 Collateral”).

     11. To the extent that the filing of a financing statement in the State of Delaware is
effective to perfect a security interest in the RHDI Article 9 Collateral of any Delaware RHDI Loan
Party under Article 9 of the New York UCC and Article 9 of the Delaware UCC (as defined below), the
security interest created by each Delaware RHDI Loan Party in favor of the Collateral Agent in the
RHDI Article 9 Collateral of such Delaware RHDI Loan Party will be perfected upon the filing in the
Filing Office of the RHDI Financing Statement to be filed in respect of such Delaware RHDI Loan
Party.

     12. Upon the delivery to the Collateral Agent in New York, and the continuous possession by
the Collateral Agent in New York, of security certificates (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(16) of
the New York UCC) representing all of the equity interests included as Pledged Stock (as defined in
the RHDI Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) under the RHDI Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the
“RHDI Pledged Interests”) and constituting certificated securities within the meaning of
Section 8-102 of the New York UCC, duly indorsed to the Collateral
Agent or in blank, the security interest granted pursuant to the RHDI Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent in such RHDI Pledged Interests will constitute a
perfected security interest in such RHDI Pledged Interests, and, assuming the Collateral Agent
receives such certificates after giving value and without notice (actual or constructive) on the
part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (as defined in the RHDI Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement) or any of their respective representatives of an adverse claim, within the
meaning of Sections 8-102 and 8-105 of the New York UCC, the Collateral Agent will acquire such
security interest free of adverse claims, within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the New York UCC.

     13. The provisions of the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are effective to create in
favor of the Shared Collateral Agent a valid security interest in the rights of the Shared

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 11

Collateral Loan Parties in the Shared Collateral (as defined in the Shared Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement, the “Shared Collateral” and, collectively with the RHDI Collateral, the
“Collateral”) in which a security interest can be created under Article 9 of the New York
UCC (such non-excluded Shared Collateral, the “Shared Article 9 Collateral” and,
collectively with the RHDI Article 9 Collateral, the “Article 9 Collateral”).

     14. To the extent that the filing of a financing statement in the State of Delaware is
effective to perfect a security interest in the Shared Article 9 Collateral of any Shared
Collateral Loan Party under Article 9 of the New York UCC and Article 9 of the Delaware UCC (as
defined below), the security interest created by each Shared Collateral Loan Party in favor of the
Shared Collateral Agent in the Shared Article 9 Collateral of such Shared Collateral Loan Party
will be perfected upon the filing in the Filing Office of the Shared Collateral Financing Statement
to be filed in respect of such Shared Collateral Loan Party.

     15. Upon the delivery to the Shared Collateral Agent in New York, and the continuous
possession by the Shared Collateral Agent in New York, of security certificates (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(16) of the New York UCC) representing all of the equity interests included as
Pledged Stock (as defined in the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) under the Shared
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (the “Shared Pledged Interests”) and constituting
certificated securities within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the New York UCC, duly indorsed to
the Shared Collateral Agent or in blank, the security interest granted pursuant to the Shared
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in favor of the Shared Collateral Agent in such Shared Pledged
Interests will constitute a perfected security interest in such Shared Pledged Interests, and,
assuming the Shared Collateral Agent receives such certificates after giving value and without
notice (actual or constructive) on the part of the Shared Collateral Agent or any other Shared
Collateral Secured Party (as defined in the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) or any of
their respective representatives of an adverse claim, within the meaning of Sections 8-
102 and 8-105 of the New York UCC, the Shared Collateral Agent will acquire such security
interest free of adverse claims, within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the New York UCC.

     Our opinions in opinion paragraphs 10 through 15 above are subject to the following
assumptions and qualifications:

(i) We have assumed that “value” (as such term is used in Section 9-203(b)(1) of the
New York UCC) has been given and that the Collateral exists and that each Loan Party
has sufficient rights (as such term is used in Section 9-203(b)(2) of the New York
UCC) in the Collateral for the security interest of the Collateral Agent or the
Shared Collateral Agent, as applicable, to attach to such

 

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 12

Collateral (and we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any Loan Party’s rights, title or interest
therein or title thereto).

(ii) We call to your attention that Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code limits the
extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under
the Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security
agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.

(iii) We call to your attention that the security interests created by the Loan
Parties in the Collateral consisting of proceeds, and the perfection of such
security interests, are limited to the extent set forth in Sections 9-315 and 9-322
of the New York UCC and Sections 9-315 and 9-322 of the Delaware UCC.

(iv) Our opinions are limited to the creation and perfection of security interests
in the Article 9 Collateral and such opinions do not address the creation or
perfection of security interests in other assets. Except to the extent provided in
opinion paragraphs 12 and 15 above, we express no opinion on the priority of any
security interest in any assets (including the Collateral).

(v) We call to your attention that the security interests of the Collateral Agent
and the Shared Collateral Agent in chattel paper, accounts or general intangibles or
payment intangibles may be subject to the rights of account debtors, claims and
defenses of account debtors and the terms of agreements with account debtors.

(vi) We have assumed that (a) the name and mailing address of the Collateral Agent
or the Shared Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the mailing address of the
applicable Loan Party set forth in the Financing Statements are sufficient to meet
the requisites of Sections 9-502 and 9-516 of Article 9 of the Delaware UCC
and (b) each Loan Party is organized solely under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(vii) We express no opinion with respect to the perfection of a security interest in
any Collateral of a type described in Section 9-501(a)(1)(A) or (B) of the Delaware
UCC or represented by a certificate of title or any intellectual property (other
than, in the case of intellectual property, to the extent perfected by the filing of
the Financing Statements) or the creation or perfection of a security interest in
any Collateral consisting of a commercial tort claim.

(viii) We do not express any opinion with respect to the perfection of a security
interest in any Collateral that constitutes cash or cash equivalents, except to the

 

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 13

extent that they constitute proceeds under Section 9-315 of the New York UCC or the
Delaware UCC, during any period of time when they are not held by the Collateral
Agent or the Shared Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(ix) Except as provided in opinion paragraphs 12 and 15 above, we express no opinion
with respect to the perfection of a security interest in any Collateral with respect
to which a security interest cannot be perfected by the filing of a financing
statement under the New York UCC or the Delaware UCC.

(x) Our opinions are limited to Article 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and Article 9 of
the Delaware UCC. Therefore those opinions do not address (a) laws of jurisdictions
other than New York or Delaware, (b) laws of Delaware except for those described
below or (c) what law governs perfection of the security interests granted in the
collateral covered by this opinion letter, pursuant to New York UCC Sections 9-301
through 9-307. We do not express any opinion as to transactions excluded from
Article 9 of the New York UCC by virtue of Section 9-109 of the New York UCC.

(xi) We do not express any opinion as to whether any actions required by any Loan
Party under any contractual obligation respecting any contract or agreement
constituting the Collateral, or any transfer restrictions contained in any
instrument or investment property constituting Collateral, have been taken by any
Loan Party or as to the effect of any failure to take such action.

(iv) We call to your attention that actions taken by a secured party (e.g.,
releasing or assigning a security interest, delivering possession of collateral to
the debtor or another person, and/or voluntarily subordinating a security interest)
may affect the validity, perfection or priority of a security interest.

(v) We have assumed that the Financing Statements will be properly filed, recorded
and indexed in the Filing Office

     We have reviewed the docket of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in the Cases (the
“Docket”). The Confirmation Order has been entered on the Docket and as of 8:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the date hereof, no order amending or motion seeking to amend the Confirmation
Order or motion or notice to stay, reverse, modify, amend, vacate, rescind or appeal the
Confirmation Order has been entered on the Docket.

     We express no opinion as to the actions that will be required to be taken periodically under
any applicable law in order for the effectiveness of the Financing Statements, or the validity or
perfection of any security interest referred to herein, to be maintained.

 

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 14

     We express no opinion as to whether, or to what extent, creation or perfection of a security
interest in the Collateral is governed by laws of the States of New York or Delaware.

     Our opinions are premised upon there not being any extrinsic agreements or understandings
among the parties to the Loan Documents that would modify or interpret the terms of the Loan
Documents or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

     The foregoing opinions are limited to the Applicable Laws of the State of New York, the
Applicable Laws of the State of Illinois, the Applicable Laws of the United States of America, the
DGCL and the DLLCA. Our opinions set forth in opinion paragraphs 11 and 14 above, insofar as they
relate to perfection under the laws of the State of Delaware, are, with your permission, based
solely upon our review of the statutory text of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of Delaware as published in the CCH Secured Transactions Guide as updated
through January 19, 2010 (“Article 9 of the Delaware UCC”), without regard to, or any
investigation of, the decisional law of such state or any interpretation thereof, commentary
thereon or treatise with respect thereto. The lawyers who prepared this opinion letter are not
admitted to practice in the State of Delaware and with your concurrence we have not consulted with
Delaware counsel. We express no opinion as to whether it is appropriate to limit the review of the
Delaware UCC as stated above, and we have delivered this limited opinion to you based, in part, on
our assumption, with your permission, that based on your prior experience or such advice as you may
have sought in connection with the Credit Agreement, you understand and accept of the limitations
set forth in this paragraph.

     In rendering our opinion set forth in paragraph 8 above, we have relied exclusively, as to all
factual matters, on a certificate, dated as of the date of this opinion letter, of Jenny L. Apker,
Vice President and Treasurer of the Ultimate Parent. In rendering our opinion set forth in
paragraph 9 above, we have relied exclusively, as to all factual matters, on a certificate, dated
as of the date of this opinion letter, of Jenny L. Apker, Vice President and Treasurer of the
Ultimate Parent.

     This opinion letter is being given on the basis of the law in effect, and facts and
circumstances existing, as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement
this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention
with respect to the matters discussed herein, including any changes in applicable law which may
hereafter occur.

     This opinion letter is being furnished only to you in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Credit Agreement and is solely for your benefit and may not be quoted, filed with
any governmental authority or other regulatory agency or otherwise circulated or utilized for any
other purpose or relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person,

becomes a Lender party to the Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 9.04 thereof as an
assignee of a Lender may rely on this opinion letter as if addressed to such Person on the date
hereof on the condition and understanding that (i) this opinion letter speaks only as of the date
hereof as described above and (ii) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and
reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of the assignment, including any changes in
law, facts or other developments known to or reasonably knowable by such assignee at such time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose this opinion letter (x) to prospective successors

have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.

     For purposes of this opinion letter the following terms have the following meanings:
“Applicable Laws” means those Illinois State laws that, in my experience, without having
made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, are normally applicable
to transactions of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents; provided, that the term
“Applicable Laws” shall not include state securities or blue sky laws, fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer laws or antifraud laws; “DGCL” means the Delaware General
Corporation Law; “DLLCA” means the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act;
“Governmental Approval” means any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation
of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to Applicable
Laws, the DGCL or the DLLCA; “Loan Documents” means the Credit Agreement, the Dex East
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Shared Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Shared Services Agreement; and “Corporation Loan Parties” means the
Delaware Corporation Loan Parties and the Kansas Corporation Loan Party.

     I have relied upon, and assumed the truth and accuracy of, all certificates, documents and
records supplied to me by the Loan Parties and of the representations and warranties of the Loan
Parties in the Loan Documents with respect to the factual matters set forth therein, and I have
assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the

 

 

January 29, 2010

Page 5

authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original
documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity
of the originals of such documents, and the truth and accuracy of all certificates of public
officials.

     In rendering the opinions set forth herein, I have assumed, with your permission and without
independent investigation, that:

(i) each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Loan Parties, as to whom I have
not made such assumption) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation and has the
requisite power and authority to conduct its business and execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(ii) the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate, banking or other organizational action and
proceedings on the part of each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Loan
Parties, as to whom I have not made such assumption); the Loan Documents have been
duly executed and delivered by each party to the Loan Documents (other than the Loan
Parties, as to whom I have not made such assumption); and each of the Loan Documents
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto,
enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms; and

(iii) the respective terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents do not, and
the execution, delivery and performance thereof do not, require any action or
approval by any governmental agency or private party (except that no such assumption
is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion
paragraph 8 below), and do not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a
default under the charter or other organizational document or by-laws of any party
to the Loan Documents (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the
Loan Parties), any contract, indenture, agreement, or other instrument to which any
party to the Loan Documents is a party or by which any such party is bound (except
that no such assumption is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set
forth in opinion paragraph 7 below), or any law, order or decree of any court,
administrative agency or other governmental authority applicable to any such party
(except that no such assumption is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the
extent set forth in opinion paragraphs 6 and 7 below).

 

 

January 29, 2010

     My opinions set forth below are also subject to the qualification that I express no opinion as
to the effect of (i) compliance or non-compliance by any party to any Loan Document with any state,
federal, foreign or other laws or regulations applicable to it (except that no such qualification
is made with respect to the Loan Parties to the extent set forth in opinion paragraph 6 below), or
with any provision of any Loan Document to which it is a party, (ii) the legal or regulatory status
or the nature of the business of any party to the Loan Documents or (iii) the failure of any party
to the Loan Documents to be authorized to do business in any jurisdiction.

     On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations,
qualifications, assumptions and exceptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

     1. Each Delaware LLC Loan Party is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Delaware Corporation Loan Party
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware. The Kansas Corporation Loan Party is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing, in good standing and authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of
Kansas. Each Illinois Partnership Loan Party is a general partnership duly formed and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Illinois.

     2. Each Delaware LLC Loan Party has the requisite limited liability company power and
authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Loan Document to which it
is a party. Such execution, delivery and performance:

	 	(a)	 	have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action or
proceedings on the part of such Delaware LLC Loan Party; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	do not violate any provision of the Certificate of Formation or LLC Agreement
of such Delaware LLC Loan Party.

     3. Each Corporation Loan Party has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Loan Document to which it is a party. Such
execution, delivery and performance:

	 	(a)	 	have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action or proceedings on
the part of such Corporation Loan Party; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	do not violate any provision of the Charter or By-Laws of such Corporation Loan
Party.

 

 

January 29, 2010

     4. Each Illinois Partnership Loan Party has the requisite partnership power and authority to
execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Loan Document to which it is a party.
Such execution, delivery and performance:

	 	(c)	 	have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action or proceedings on
the part of such Illinois Partnership Loan Party; and
	 
	 	(d)	 	do not violate any provision of the Partnership Agreement of such Illinois
Partnership Loan Party.

     5. Each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each
Loan Party party thereto.

     6. The execution and delivery by a Loan Party of, and performance of its obligations under,
each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party will not violate any Applicable Law
applicable to such Loan Party, the DGCL or the DLLCA.

     7. The execution and delivery by a Loan Party of, and performance of its obligations under,
each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party (a) will not constitute or result in a
breach of, a default under or the acceleration of the maturity of such Loan Party’s obligations
under any material contract or agreement binding on such Loan Party or its property or violate any
court decree or order applicable to such Loan Party or its property and (b) will not result in or
require the creation or imposition of any security interest or lien upon such Loan Party’s
properties pursuant to the provisions of any material contract or agreement binding on such Loan
Party or its property (other than any security interests and liens created by the Loan Documents
(as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) and any other security interests and liens in
favor of the Collateral Agent, the Shared Collateral Agent or the Lenders arising under applicable
law), in each case, subject to the following:

(i) I express no opinion as to compliance by any Loan Party with any financial
covenants contained in any such agreement or contract; and

(ii) I express no opinion as to whether the borrowing by any Loan Party under any
Incremental Revolving Credit Facility would result in a breach of, a default under
or the acceleration of the maturity of any Loan Party’s obligations under any such
agreement or contract or violate any such court order or decree.

     8. The execution and delivery by a Loan Party of, and performance of its obligations under,
each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party do not require any Governmental Approval
under any Applicable Law applicable to such Loan Party, the DGCL or the DLLCA.

     The foregoing opinions are limited to the Applicable Laws of the State of Illinois, the DGCL
and the DLLCA. My opinion in paragraph 1 with respect to the Delaware LLC Loan Parties and the
Delaware Corporation Loan Parties is based solely on my review of the Delaware Certificate of Good
Standing of each such Loan Party. My opinion in paragraph 1 with respect to the good standing and
authorization to transact business of the Kansas Corporation Loan Party is based solely on my
review of the Kansas Certificate of Good Standing of such Loan Party. In rendering the opinions
set forth herein with respect to the Kansas Corporation Loan Party, I have assumed that the laws of
the State of Kansas are the same as the laws of the State of Illinois, without regarding to
conflict of laws principles thereof. I am not admitted to practice in the States of Delaware or
Kansas and with your concurrence I have not consulted with Delaware or Kansas counsel.

     I express no opinion as to the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of any security
interest.

     This opinion letter is being given on the basis of the law in effect, and facts and
circumstances existing, as of the date hereof, and I assume no obligation to update or supplement
this opinion letter to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to my attention
with respect to the matters discussed herein, including any changes in applicable law which may
hereafter occur.

     This opinion letter is being furnished only to you in connection with the execution and
delivery of the Credit Agreement and is solely for your benefit and may not be quoted, filed with
any governmental authority or other regulatory agency or otherwise circulated or utilized for any
other purpose or relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person, firm
or entity for any purpose without my prior express written consent, except that each Person who
becomes a Lender party to the Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 9.04 thereof as an
assignee of a Lender may rely on this opinion letter as if addressed to such Person on the date
hereof on the condition and understanding that (i) this opinion letter speaks only as of the date
hereof as described above and (ii) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and
reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of the assignment, including any changes in
law, facts or other developments known to or reasonably knowable by such assignee at such time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may disclose this opinion letter (x) to prospective successors
and permitted assigns of the addressees hereof and (y) to regulatory authorities having
jurisdiction over any of the addressees hereof or their successors and permitted assigns, in each
case without my prior consent.

Attn: Susan LeFevre

and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement (as defined therein)

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Re:
	 	Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 29, 2010 (the “Credit
Agreement”) to which R.H. Donnelley Corporation and R.H. Donnelley Inc. (collectively,
the “Borrower”) are parties

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to the Borrower in the State of Tennessee (the “State”) in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. Acting as such counsel, we
have examined the following instruments and documents and such matters of law as we deemed
necessary in order to express the opinions set forth herein:

	1.	 	The Second Amended and Restated Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents and Leases, Fixture Filing
and Security Agreement (the “Deed of Trust”) dated January 29, 2010 and executed by R.H.
Donnelley Publishing & Advertising, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Grantor”), in favor of Stuart
Jones, trustee, for the benefit of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as collateral agent
for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement (the “Collateral Agent”) and to be recorded in the
real property records in the Register’s Office for Sullivan County, Tennessee (the “Register’s
Office”);
	 
	2.	 	UCC Fixture Filing Financing Statement to be recorded in the real property records in the
Register’s Office naming the Grantor as debtor, and Collateral Agent as secured party (the
“Fixture Financing Statement”);
	 
	3.	 	The Certificate of Authorization dated January 27, 2010, issued by the Secretary of State of
Tennessee with respect to the Grantor (the “Grantor Certificate”).
	 
	 	 	For purposes of this opinion letter, items 1 and 2 above are herein collectively referred to
as the “State Documents”.

     Notwithstanding any contrary definitions contained in any of the State Documents, the term
“Real Property Collateral” refers only to the Grantor’s current interest in the real property
described on Schedule A to the Deed of Trust, the related real property interests described in the
Deed of Trust and the fixtures permanently affixed to such real property. The term “Real Property
Collateral” does not include any real property acquired by Grantor after the execution of the Deed
of Trust. The term “UCC Collateral” refers to the items and types of property of Grantor described
as collateral in the Deed of Trust other than the Real Property Collateral in which a security
interest can be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as presently in effect in
the State, T.C.A. § 47-1-101, et seq. (the “Tennessee UCC”).

     To the extent we deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion, we have relied upon
certificates and other documents obtained from public officials and, as to factual matters, on the
representations and warranties of all parties contained in the State Documents and we have assumed
the completeness and accuracy of all such representations and warranties as to factual matters.
With your permission, we have made no independent investigation with respect to such matters.

     I. Assumptions.

     In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed the following:

     (a) Grantor is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation. Grantor has the requisite power and authority to (i) own its
properties, (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and other
documents executed in connection therewith (the “Loan Documents”) to which it is a party and (iii)
conduct its business in the manner contemplated by the Loan Documents.

     (b) Collateral Agent is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its jurisdiction of formation, has full power and authority to execute and deliver, and to
perform all of its obligations under, the Loan Documents and has qualified to do business under the
laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required or necessary in order for Collateral
Agent to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents.

     (c) The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each party
thereto, and the execution, delivery and performance thereof does not violate the charter,
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation, articles of
organization or similar constituent document of any party thereto, and do not violate or conflict
with any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, administrative agency or other
governmental authority applicable to any such party, or any agreement by which any such party is
bound.

 

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company of Americas

January 29, 2010

Page 3 of 10

     (d) Copies of the final, executed version of the Loan Documents and other documents delivered
to us are true and correct, all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic; and all
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the originals thereof.

     (e) All signatures by all parties on each of the Loan Documents are genuine and authentic and,
where applicable, have been properly acknowledged before a duly empowered notary public, and each
person signing on behalf of each of such parties has the full legal right, power, capacity and
authorization to execute the Loan Documents.

     (f) Each document or certificate of a governmental authority is accurate, complete and
authentic and all official public records (including their proper indexing and filing) are accurate
and complete.

     (g) The parties will enforce the Loan Documents in accordance with their terms; all parties
thereto have acted, and will at all times act, equitably, in good faith, in a commercially
reasonable manner, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and the parties have
entered into the Loan Documents in good faith, without any fraud or chicanery.

     (h) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Grantor has current actual knowledge of any factual
matters that would make any of the assumptions or opinions herein inaccurate.

     (i) All transactions and conditions contemplated by the Credit Agreement to have occurred at
or prior to the initial funding of under the Credit Agreement have occurred or have been waived by
the appropriate parties.

     (j) Grantor holds valid title to all of the Real Property Collateral; the Deed of Trust
correctly and accurately describes the Real Property Collateral; all Real Property Collateral is
located in Sullivan County, Tennessee; the correct legal description of the real property and the
correct name of the secured party and debtor will be attached to the Deed of Trust and Fixture
Financing Statement before filing; and the Deed of Trust and Fixture Financing Statement will be
properly registered and indexed in the Register’s Office.

     (k) The respective addresses for Collateral Agent and Grantor shown on the State Documents are
correct mailing addresses for such parties and Collateral Agent’s address is an address from which
information regarding Collateral Agent’s security interest may be obtained.

     (l) To the extent that any licenses, franchises, leases, plans, specifications, operating
agreements, service contracts, contract rights or other general intangibles purported to be
assigned or encumbered pursuant to the Deed of Trust require by their terms the consent of another
party for their assignment or encumbrance, such consents have been obtained.

     (m) The Loan Documents (other than the State Documents) are the legal, valid and binding
obligations of each party thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with

 

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company of Americas

January 29, 2010

Page 4 of 10

their terms. Grantor is solvent at the time of the execution of the Credit Agreement and is
receiving sufficient consideration from the Collateral Agent to cause the Deed of Trust to be
enforceable against Grantor in accordance with its terms.

     (n) There is no tax due under T.C.A. § 67-4-409 upon recordation of the Deed of Trust or the
Fixture Financing Statement.

     (o) Value has been given to Grantor, and Grantor has rights in the UCC Collateral, both as
contemplated by Section 9-203 of the Tennessee UCC.

     II. Opinions.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and
assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

	1.	 	The Deed of Trust constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Grantor, enforceable
against Grantor in accordance with its terms.
	 
	2.	 	The Deed of Trust grants to Collateral Agent the right to accelerate the indebtedness secured
by the Deed of Trust, the Deed of Trust grants to Collateral Agent the right to (a) foreclose
(by either judicial or nonjudicidial action) Grantor’s interest in the Real Property
Collateral, (b) execute upon Grantor’s interest in the fixtures (to the extent governed by
the Tennessee UCC), (c) apply to a state court of the State for the appointment of a receiver
(although the appointment of a receiver is subject to the discretion of the court and to
equitable principles) and (d) collect the rents from the Real Property Collateral, in all
cases subject to any limitations on such remedies under applicable law or contained in the
State Documents. Each of the foregoing remedies is a type of remedy commonly sought by
lenders whose loans are secured by real and personal property in the State.
	 
	3.	 	No Government Consent (as defined below), other than the filing and recording of the Deed of
Trust and the Fixture Financing Statement, both as specified in Paragraph 4 below, is required
in connection with the execution and delivery by Grantor of the State Documents, except such
approvals and authorizations as have been received, such actions as have been taken, and such
filings as have been made. For purposes of the opinion given in this opinion letter, the term
“Government Consent” means any consent, authorization, approval, order, license, certificate,
or permit of or from, or declaration or filing with, any non-judicial governmental authority
of the State or any political subdivision of the State that is normally applicable to
transactions of the type contemplated by the State Documents.
	 
	4.	 	The Deed of Trust is in proper form for the creation of a direct and valid deed of trust lien
upon the Real Property Collateral in favor of Collateral Agent. The Deed of Trust and the
Fixture Financing Statement comply with the legal requirements of the State for

 

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company of Americas

January 29, 2010

Page 5 of 10

	 	 	recordation in the Register’s Office. The recording of such documents are the only filings,
recordings, and registrations necessary to perfect the lien on the Real Property Collateral.
The description of the Real Property Collateral complies with the legal requirements of the
State for recordation in the Register’s Office.
	 
	5.	 	No filing is required in the State to perfect a security interest in the UCC Collateral.
Under the Tennessee UCC, the law of the state of Grantor’s organization governs the perfection
of a security interest in the UCC Collateral.
	 
	6.	 	Except for nominal recording and filing fees, no indebtedness or transfer tax is payable in
connection with the execution, delivery, or recordation of the State Documents. Upon the
enforcement of the foreclosure provisions of the Deed of Trust, the transfer tax would be
payable under Tennessee law (as presently written and interpreted) upon the recording of a
trustee’s deed to the purchaser at foreclosure.
	 
	7.	 	The priority of the mortgage lien on the Real Property Collateral created by the Deed of
Trust with respect to any extension of credit after the recordation of the Deed of Trust that
is an “obligatory advance”, as set forth in Tennessee Code Annotated Section 47-28-104, is
determined by the date of recordation of the Deed of Trust, subject to non-consensual liens,
such as mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens. An “obligatory advance” means an advance which
the creditor is required to make by agreement with the borrower, whether or not a subsequent
event beyond the control of the creditor may allow the creditor to cancel the obligation to
make such advance. An advance shall be an obligatory advance even if made pursuant to a
credit agreement that contains any of the following provisions: (i) the right of the creditor
to withhold advances on the occurrence of a default until the default is cured, if the default
is curable under the terms of the agreement; (ii) the inclusion of an ascertainable date on
which the obligation to make future advances ends; or (iii) requirements or procedures for the
borrower to follow in order to activate any obligation to make advances.
	 
	8.	 	The foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, if by nonjudicial action, in and of itself will not
restrict or impair Grantor’s liability with respect to the indebtedness secured thereby or
Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies with respect to the foreclosure or enforcement of any
other security interests or liens securing such indebtedness, to the extent any deficiency
remains unpaid after application of the proceeds of the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust.
Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against Grantor’s property under the Tennessee UCC
will not be affected by Collateral Agent’s exercise of its remedies against the Real Property
Collateral under the real property laws of the State, if by nonjudicial action, except as
provided in the Deed of Trust, to the extent any deficiency remains unpaid after application
of any proceeds of the exercise of such remedies. There is no “one form of action” or similar
law in the State that would limit Collateral Agent to choosing only one remedy to enforce its
rights under the State Documents.

     III. Qualifications and Limitations.

     In addition to any exceptions, qualifications and assumptions noted above, the foregoing
opinions are subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:

     (a) Our opinion is limited to the laws of the State as presently written and interpreted; we
have not made a review of the laws of any other jurisdiction, and we express no opinions concerning
such laws or whether such laws may apply. For the purposes of our opinion, we have assumed, with
your consent, that the State Documents will be governed in their entirety by the laws of the State.

     (b) This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to advise
you of legal or factual changes affecting this opinion that occur after the date of this letter.

     (c) Our opinions are subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws in effect from time to time
affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including, without limitation, fraudulent
conveyance laws and judicially developed doctrines relevant to any of the foregoing laws.

     (d) Our opinions are subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without
limitation, limitations on the availability of equitable remedies and concepts of materiality,
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and other similar doctrines affecting the
enforceability of agreements generally (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law).

     (e) The availability or enforceability of particular remedies (including all self-help
remedies, rights to injunctions, specific performance, or appointment of a receiver, custodian or
trustee) and waivers in the State Documents may be limited by equitable principles or applicable
laws, rules, regulations, court decisions and constitutional requirements in and of the State, but
the inclusion of such remedial provisions will not, in our judgment, render any of the State
Documents invalid as a whole, or materially interfere with the exercise of the foreclosure remedies
normally used by secured lenders in the State, other than by delay resulting from the application
of such laws and principles.

     (f) A court of equity could enjoin Collateral Agent from foreclosing its liens or security
interests or enforcing its remedies under the State Documents by reason of any unconscionable or
inequitable conduct on Collateral Agent’s part, or if there are equitable defenses, defenses
arising from Collateral Agent’s failure to act in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
State Documents or other course of conduct, defenses arising as a consequence of the expiration of
any period of limitation of actions, or defenses arising out of the doctrine of laches.

     (g) Certain provisions of the State Documents may be unenforceable as against public policy to
the extent that they (i) may require indemnification for liabilities under the provisions of any
federal or state securities laws or with respect to the action, inaction, neglect or conduct of the
indemnified party or its representatives or Collateral Agent; (ii) purport to confer, waive or
consent to venue or the jurisdiction of any court; (iii) attempt to establish evidentiary standards
to be applied in litigation or similar proceedings; (iv) purport to indemnify a party with respect
to its own, or its representatives’ or Collateral Agent’s, action, inaction, neglect or conduct; or
(v) restrict access to courts or to legal or equitable remedies (including waivers of the right to
trial by jury).

     (h) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any waiver under the State Documents or
any consent thereunder relating to the rights of Grantor or duties owing to Grantor that exist as a
matter of law, except to the extent that Grantor may so waive or consent as a matter of law, or any
provisions of the State Documents that purport to grant to or limit rights of persons who are not
parties to the relevant State Documents.

     (i) Enforceability of the State Documents may also be limited as follows: (i) the award and
the amount of attorneys’ fees are subject to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding involving such State Documents may be brought; (ii) notwithstanding any waiver therein
to the contrary, actual notice to Grantor and the opportunity for a judicial hearing may be a
condition precedent to the exercise of certain remedies by Collateral Agent; and (iii)
notwithstanding stipulations to the contrary in any agreement, the issuance of a decree for
specific performance or an injunction, or the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee,
liquidator or conservator will be subject to the discretion of the court requested to issue any
such decree or injunction, and we express no opinion on the question of whether such equitable
remedies would be available.

     (j) We express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any
provision in the State Documents that purports to permit Collateral Agent or any other person to
sell or otherwise dispose of any property subject thereto except in compliance with the Tennessee
UCC, applicable laws of the United States of America, and other applicable state and local laws, or
to impose on Collateral Agent standards for the care of collateral in Collateral Agent’s possession
other than as provided in Section 9-207 of the Tennessee UCC.

     (k) We express no opinion as to the requirements of, effects of, or any entity’s compliance
with laws or regulations related to pension laws, zoning laws, securities laws, labor laws,
environmental laws, building codes, landlord/tenant laws, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and
tax laws, or any related regulations.

     (l) Tennessee Code Annotated Section 47-12-102 provides that a surety may make written demand
on the creditor, requiring the creditor to bring suit on the guaranteed debt, if the surety
believes that the principal is likely to become insolvent or leave the state without paying

the debt, and that the creditor will forfeit its right to recover from the surety if the creditor
does not commence a suit within thirty (30) days after such demand and diligently pursue the suit.
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any waiver of Grantor’s rights (if any) under
such statute.

     (m) We express no opinion concerning Grantor’s rights in or title to any of the Real Property
Collateral or other real or personal property.

     (n) We express no opinion as to the priority of the security interests or liens created or
perfected by any of the State Documents, or, except as set forth in Paragraph 7, any obligatory or
non-obligatory future advances made or to be made pursuant thereto.

     (o) We bring to your attention that Section 9-109(d)(8) of the Tennessee UCC provides in part
that Chapter 9 of the Tennessee UCC does not apply to a transfer of an interest in or claim in or
under any policy of insurance, except as provided with respect to proceeds (T.C.A. § 47-9-315) and
priorities in proceeds (T.C.A. § 47-9-322).

     (p) We express no opinion with respect to security interest in any deposit accounts, escrow
accounts, bank accounts or the like.

     (q) The effectiveness of the Fixture Financing Statement will lapse on the expiration of a
period of five (5) years from the date of its filing (or from the date to which such effectiveness
has been extended by a properly filed continuation statement) unless a continuation statement is
properly filed within the last six (6) months of such effective period or within the sixty (60)
days following the expiration of such effective period.

     (r) We express no opinion as to the assignment pursuant to the State Documents of contracts,
rights, privileges, licenses, franchises or other properties that are non-assignable or that are
subject to limitations on assignment created by applicable law or by the terms thereof.

     (s) We express no opinion as to the validity or enforceability of those provisions of the Deed
of Trust that (i) permit adjournment of any sale without readvertising, (ii) purport to waive
Grantor’s right to require a foreclosure sale by division, (iii) purport to subrogate Collateral
Agent to the rights of the holders of any other liens on the Real Property Collateral or UCC
Collateral, (iv) purport to provide for the institution of partial foreclosure proceedings with
respect to the Real Property Collateral for a portion of the secured indebtedness then due and
payable, subject to a continuing lien for the balance of the secured indebtedness not then due, (v)
may be applied to require Grantor to “procure insurance for the protection of property for an
amount that exceeds the replacement cost of the structures existing on the secured property at the
time of the loan or extension of credit,” as construed under T.C.A. § 56-8-106, or (vi) purport to
entitle Collateral Agent to receive, after any release, extinguishment, discharge or satisfaction
of the indebtedness secured by the State Documents, any insurance proceeds arising from casualty
events occurring prior thereto, but the inclusion of such provisions will not, in our judgment,

 

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company of Americas

render any of the State Documents invalid as a whole, or materially interfere with the
exercise of the foreclosure remedies normally used by secured lenders in the State, other than by
delay resulting from the application of such laws and principles.

     (t) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the State Documents
appointing Collateral Agent or permitting Collateral Agent to act as the agent or attorney-in-fact
of any other party.

     (u) A change in the name, state of organization, corporate structure or address of Grantor may
invalidate the Fixture Financing Statement unless an amendment thereto is timely filed showing such
changes.

     (v) T.C.A. § 67-5-2003(h) requires the holder of a security interest to withhold from the
proceeds of a sale of collateral under Chapter 9 of the Tennessee UCC an amount sufficient to
satisfy any personal property taxes assessed against the debtor, and further provides that a
secured party that fails to withhold such amount shall be personally liable to the local taxing
authority.

     (w) Notwithstanding the provisions in the State Documents regarding notice of sale to be given
to Grantor by mail, a court may require that the Collateral Agent make additional reasonable
efforts to locate and notify the Grantor of any sale of any personal property.

     (x) Our opinions with respect to the perfection of any assignment of rents or leases in the
Deed of Trust are based on T.C.A. § 66-26-116. Under this statute, upon proper registration
(recording) in the register’s office in the Tennessee county where the real property is located,
the rent assignment will be perfected as to Grantor and all third parties without the necessity of
furnishing notice to Grantor or any lessee under a tenant lease, obtaining possession of the
property, impounding the rents from the property, securing the appointment of a receiver, or taking
any other affirmative action. We express no opinion as to the continuation of the lien in proceeds
from rents after collection of those proceeds by Grantor. Tennessee law is not clear as to, and we
express no opinion as to, the extent to which the lien on rents follows the proceeds of such rents.
In order to enforce such assignment as against a tenant, however, notice may be required to be
given to the tenant; a tenant will not be required to pay to Collateral Agent any payments made by
such tenant to Grantor before the tenant’s receipt of such notice. The provisions of the Deed of
Trust providing for an absolute assignment of rents and leases may not be enforceable under
Tennessee law, but it is nevertheless our opinion that the assignment of rents in the Deed of Trust
is enforceable as a conditional collateral assignment if it is not enforceable as an absolute
assignment.

     (y) We express no opinion as to matters of usury, interest, late charges, loan charges, loan
fees or commissions, or as to prepayment premiums, prepayment penalties, termination fees,
defeasance payments or the like, or as to any provisions of the State Documents relating to any of
the foregoing. Origination fees, late charges, service charges or other loan fees are

generally allowable under the case law of the State, if they are reasonable, but are subject
to consideration on a case by case basis. To the extent a State court finds such charges to be
unreasonable, the charges could be deemed unenforceable as a penalty or forfeiture, or the charges
could be characterized as interest, and, therefore, could be considered in determining whether
usury limitations have been violated.

     (z) We express no opinion with respect to enforceability of the Credit Agreement or to the
enforceability of the Deed of Trust to the extent the Credit Agreement is incorporated therein.

     A copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by Collateral Agent to, and relied upon by,
those financial institutions who are participants in the financing arrangement of Collateral Agent
or any assignee or successors of Collateral Agent, and such institutions and Bingham McCutchen LLP
may rely hereon as if the same were addressed and had been delivered to them. Subject to the
foregoing, this opinion letter may be relied upon by Collateral Agent, its participants, successors
and assigns (and their respective accountants and attorneys may receive copies hereof but without
rights to rely thereon) only in connection with the financing arrangements contemplated by the
Credit Agreement or the State Documents or any proceedings in connection with the enforcement
thereof, and may not be used or relied upon by Collateral Agent or any other person for any purpose
whatsoever, without in each instance our prior written consent, except as may be required by any
court or other governmental or regulatory authority or in connection with any litigation or other
proceeding to which this opinion letter may be relevant.

Very truly yours,

SHERRARD & ROE, PLC
