Agreement made among Reis Services, LLC, Reis, Inc. (collectively, the “Employers”) and Lloyd
Lynford (“Employee”) to extend a certain Employment Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2006, as
amended by the First Amendment to Employment Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2007, that certain Memo

The Dollar Equivalent of any amount shall be determined in accordance with the definition of
“Dollar Equivalent”; provided, however, that (a) notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, in calculating the Dollar Equivalent of any amount for
purposes of determining (i) any Borrower’s obligation to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters
of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(b), (ii) any Borrower’s ability to request additional Loans or
Letters of Credit pursuant to the Commitments, or (iii) whether or not the Dollar Equivalent of the
Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure is equal to or greater than the Total Revolving Commitments
as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Designated Foreign Currencies and
Dollars for the purposes of Section 2.16(c)(iii), the Global Agent may, in its discretion,
calculate the Dollar Equivalent of such amount on the applicable Computation Date, and (b) in

     Section 2.01 Establishment of the Credit Facility.

     On the Closing Date, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this

each LC Issuer agree to establish the Credit Facility for the benefit of the Borrowers pursuant to
which (a) subject to Section 2.02(b), the Revolving Lenders shall make Revolving Loans to each
Revolving Facility Borrower, and shall participate in Revolving Facility LC Issuances, under the
Revolving Facility pursuant to the Revolving Commitment of each such Lender, (b) the Canadian
Lenders shall make Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, and shall participate in
Canadian LC Issuances, under the Canadian Sub-Facility pursuant to the Canadian Commitment, and
(c) the Swing Line Lender shall make Swing Loans to the Company under the Swing Line Facility
pursuant to the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however that at no time will (i) the Aggregate
Credit Facility Exposure exceed the Maximum Credit Facility Amount, (ii) the Credit Facility
Exposure of any Lender exceed the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment, (iii) for any
Lender which is also a Canadian Lender, the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Exposure and
Canadian Sub-Facility Exposure exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or (iv) for any Lender
which is also the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Exposure exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. All such Loans shall be made, and such Letters of Credit shall be issued, as
set forth in this Article II.

     Section 2.02 Revolving Facility.

          (a) In General. Subject to Section 2.02(b), during the Revolving Facility
Availability Period, each Revolving Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, to make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to each Revolving Facility Borrower
from time to time pursuant to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, which Revolving Loans (i) may,
except as set forth herein, at the option of each Revolving Facility Borrower, be incurred and
maintained as, or Converted into, Revolving Loans that are US Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or
Foreign Currency Loans, in each case denominated in Dollars or a Designated Foreign Currency,
provided that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Revolving Borrowing shall, unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, be made to the same Revolving Facility Borrower and consist
of Revolving Loans of the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and re-borrowed in accordance
with the provisions hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such
Revolving Loan: (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the Total
Revolving Commitment, (C) the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure
Amount, (D) the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure
Amount, or (E) any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(c). The Revolving Loans (other than Foreign Currency Loans) to be
made by each Lender will be made by such Lender in the Funding Amount applicable to such Lender at
the time of the making of such Revolving Loan on a pro rata basis based upon such Lender’s Funding
Percentage of the Revolving Borrowing at the time of such Revolving Borrowing, in each case in
accordance with Section 2.09.

42

 

          (b) Foreign Currency Loans. Any Revolving Facility Borrower may request Foreign
Currency Loans in an amount, when added to all then outstanding Foreign Currency Loans, not to
exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount by delivering to the Global Agent a Notice of Borrowing
in accordance with Section 2.08(b). The Global Agent shall deliver a copy of such Notice of
Borrowing to each Revolving Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the
Global Agent given not more than five Business Days after the date of the Global Agent’s notice,
either agree to make the Foreign Currency Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing (each such
Lender so agreeing being an “Accepting Lender”) or decline to make such Foreign Currency
Loans (and any such Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of five Business
Days shall be deemed to have declined to make such Foreign Currency Loans and each Lender so
declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Declining Lender”). No Revolving
Lender is obligated to make any Foreign Currency Loan. If, on the second Business Day after the
Global Agent shall have delivered notice as set forth above, either there are no Accepting Lenders
or the Accepting Lenders have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to fund less than the full
amount of the Foreign Currency Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the Company may arrange
for one or more banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees, in each case reasonably
acceptable to the Global Agent (each such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Lender”),
to commit to making Foreign Currency Loans pursuant to a Revolving Commitment, provided that at the
time such Augmenting Lender commits to making such Foreign Currency Loans the Company arranges for
one or more Revolving Lenders to assign all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment to such
Accepting Lender or Augmenting Lender, as applicable, in accordance with Section 11.05(c). No
Revolving Lender is obligated to make any such assignment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
the Global Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after
giving effect to the making of any Foreign Currency Loan the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any)
are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Fixed Commitment Percentages.

          (c) Increase in Revolving Commitments.

               (i) Increasing Lenders and New Lenders. The Company may, at any time prior to the
180th day before the then scheduled Revolving Facility Termination Date, request that (1) the
current Lenders increase their Revolving Commitments (any current Lender which elects to increase
its Revolving Commitment shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or (2) one or more
new lenders (each a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Commitment
hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:

                    (A) No Obligation to Increase. No current Lender shall be obligated to increase its
Revolving Commitment and any increase in the Revolving Commitment by any current Lender shall be in
the sole discretion of such current Lender.

                    (B) Defaults. There shall exist no Events of Default or Defaults on the effective
date of such increase after giving effect to such increase.

                    (C) Aggregate Revolving Commitments. After giving effect to such increase, the total
Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $400,000,000.

43

 

                    (D) Minimum Revolving Commitments. After giving effect to such increase, the amount
of the Revolving Commitments provided by each of the New Lenders and each of the Increasing Lenders
shall be at least $5,000,000.

                    (E) Notes. The Company shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender that
shall so request, a replacement Revolving Facility Note reflecting the new amount of such
Increasing Lender’s Revolving Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the prior
Revolving Facility Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2)
to each New Lender a Revolving Facility Note reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving
Commitment.

                    (F) Approval of New Lenders. Any New Lender shall be subject to the approval of the
Global Agent pursuant to Section 11.5.

                    (G) Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to
increase its Revolving Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Global
Agent, signed by it and the Company and delivered to the Global Agent at least five (5) days before
the effective date of such increase.

                    (H) New Lenders—Joinder. Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in
substantially the form of Exhibit A-5 pursuant to which such New Lender shall join and
become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a Revolving Commitment in the
amount set forth in such lender joinder.

               (ii) Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.

                    (A) Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the effective date of
such increase, the Company shall repay all Revolving Loans then outstanding, subject to the
Company’s indemnity obligations under Article III [Taxes, Increased Costs and Illegality]; provided
that they may borrow new Revolving Loans with a date on which such new Revolving Loan shall be
made, on such date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in any new Revolving Loans made on or
after such date on a pro rata basis based upon such Lender’s Funding Percentage of the Revolving
Borrowing after giving effect to the increase in Revolving Commitments contemplated by this
Section 2.02(c).

                    (B) Outstanding Letters of Credit;Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of
New Loans. On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender and each New Lender
(i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letters of Credit on
a pro rata basis based upon such Lender’s Funding Percentage of such Letters of Credit and the
participation of each other Lender in such Letters of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and
(ii) will acquire, (and will pay to the Global Agent, for the account of each Lender, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its pro rata share based upon such Lender’s
Funding Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Facility LC Participation.

     Section 2.03 Canadian Sub-Facility.

     At any time after a Canadian Borrower has become a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 2.19 and thereafter but prior to the Revolving Facility

44

 

Termination Date, each Canadian Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, to make a Canadian Revolving Loan or Canadian Revolving Loans to the Canadian
Borrowers from time to time pursuant to such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment, which Canadian
Revolving Loans (i) may, except as set forth herein, at the option of the Canadian Borrowers, be
incurred and maintained as, or Converted into, Canadian Revolving Loans that are Canadian Base Rate
Loans or CDOR Loans, in each case denominated in Canadian Dollars, provided that all Canadian
Revolving Loans made as part of the same Canadian Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, be made to the same Canadian Borrower and consist of Canadian Revolving Loans of
the same Type; (ii) may be repaid or prepaid and re-borrowed in accordance with the provisions
hereof; and (iii) shall not be made if, after giving effect to any such Canadian Revolving Loan:
(A) the Canadian Sub-Facility Exposure of any Canadian Lender would exceed such Canadian Lender’s
Canadian Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Canadian Sub-Facility Exposure would exceed the Total
Canadian Commitment, (C) the Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure
Amount, (D) the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure
Amount, or (E) any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of
Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(c). The Canadian Revolving Loans to be made by each Canadian
Lender will be made on a pro rata basis based upon each Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment
Percentage of each Canadian Borrowing, in each case in accordance with Section 2.09.

     Section 2.04 Reserved.

     Section 2.05 Swing Line Facility.

          (a) Swing Loans. During the Revolving Facility Availability Period up to but not
including the Revolving Facility Termination Date, the Swing Line Lender may, at its option,
cancellable at any time for any reason whatsoever, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the Company from time to time, which Swing Loans
(i) shall be payable on demand, and if not demanded earlier, demand shall be deemed to be made on
the Revolving Facility Termination Date; (ii) [reserved]; (iii) shall be made only in Dollars;
(iv) may be repaid or prepaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; (v) may only
be made if after giving effect thereto: (A) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans
outstanding does not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, or (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility
Exposure would not exceed the Total Revolving Commitment; and (vi) shall not be made if, after
giving effect thereto, any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters
of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(c).

          (b) Swing Loan Refunding. At any time, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, direct that the Swing Loans owing to it be refunded by delivering a notice to
such effect to the Global Agent, specifying the aggregate principal amount thereof (a “Notice
of Swing Line Refunding”). Promptly upon receipt of a Notice of Swing Line Refunding, the
Global Agent shall give notice of the contents thereof to the Revolving Lenders and, unless an
Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(h) in respect of the Company has occurred, the Company.
Each such Notice of Swing Line Refunding shall be deemed to constitute delivery by the Company of a
Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans consisting of US Base Rate Loans in the principal
amount of the Swing Loans to which it relates.

45

 

Each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) hereby unconditionally agrees
(notwithstanding that any of the conditions specified in Section 4.03 or elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not have been satisfied, but subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below) to
make a Revolving Loan to the Company in the Funding Amount applicable to such Lender based on such
Lender’s Funding Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of
Swing Line Refunding relates. Each such Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan
available to the Global Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office not later than
2:00 P.M. (local time at the Payment Office), if such notice is received by such Lender prior to
11:00 A.M. (local time at its Domestic Lending Office), or not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time at
the Payment Office) on the next Business Day, if such notice is received by such Lender after such
time. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be made immediately available to the Swing Line
Lender and applied by it to repay the principal amount of the Swing Loans to which such Notice of
Swing Line Refunding related.

          (c) Swing Loan Participation. If, prior to the time a Revolving Loan would otherwise
have been made as provided above as a consequence of a Notice of Swing Line Refunding, any of the
events specified in Section 8.01(h) shall have occurred in respect of the Company or one or more of
the Revolving Lenders shall determine that it is legally prohibited from making a Revolving Loan
under such circumstances, each Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender), or each
Revolving Lender (other than such Swing Line Lender) so prohibited, as the case may be, shall, on
the date such Revolving Loan would have been made by it (the “Purchase Date”), purchase an
undivided participating interest (a “Swing Loan Participation”) in the outstanding Swing
Loans to which such Notice of Swing Line Refunding related, in an amount (the “Swing Line
Participation Amount”) equal to such Lender’s Funding Percentage of such outstanding Swing
Loans. On the Purchase Date, each such Lender or each such Lender so prohibited, as the case may
be, shall pay to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Swing Line
Participation Amount, and promptly upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender shall, if requested
by such other Lender, deliver to such Lender a participation certificate, dated the date of the
Swing Line Lender’s receipt of the funds from, and evidencing such Lender’s Swing Loan
Participation in, such Swing Loans and its Swing Line Participation Amount in respect thereof. If
any amount required to be paid by a Lender to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the above
provisions in respect of any Swing Loan Participation is not paid on the date such payment is due,
such Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender on demand interest on the amount not so paid at the
greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Global Agent in accordance
with industry rules on interbank compensation from the due date until such amount is paid in full.
Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any other Lender such Lender’s
Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of
the Company on account of the related Swing Loans, the Swing Line Lender will promptly distribute
to such Lender its ratable share of such amount based on its Payment Sharing Percentage of such
amount in effect on such date on account of its Swing Loan Participation (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s
participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that if such payment
received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing
Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

46

 

          (d) Obligations Unconditional. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving
Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b) and/or to purchase Swing Loan Participations in connection with a
Notice of Swing Line Refunding shall be subject to the condition that (i) such Lender shall have
received a Notice of Swing Line Refunding complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) at the time
the Swing Loans that are the subject of such Notice of Swing Line Refunding were made, the Swing
Line Lender making the same had no actual written notice from another Lender that an Event of
Default had occurred and was continuing, but otherwise shall be absolute and unconditional, shall
be solely for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender that gives such Notice of Swing Line Refunding,
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any other
Lender, any Credit Party, or any other Person, or any Credit Party may have against any Lender or
other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance involving a Material Adverse Effect upon
the Borrowers; (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other
circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     Section 2.06 Revolving Facility Letters of Credit.

          (a) Revolving Facility LC Issuance. At any time prior to the Revolving Facility
Termination Date, the Company may request a LC Issuer at any time and from time to time to issue,
for the account of the Company, any other Revolving Facility Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor,
and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each LC Issuer agrees to issue
from time to time Revolving Facility Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Dollars or any
Designated Foreign Currency and in each case in such form as may be approved by such LC Issuer and
the Global Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Revolving Facility LC
Issuance shall be made if, after giving effect thereto: (A) the Revolving Facility LC Outstandings
would exceed the Revolving Facility LC Commitment Amount, (B) the Revolving Facility Exposure of
any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (C) the Aggregate Revolving Facility
Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Commitment, (D) the Foreign Currency Exposure would
exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, (E) the Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Exposure would
exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, or (F) any Borrower would be required to prepay Loans
or cash collateralize Revolving Facility Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(c). Subject to
Section 2.06(c) below, each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date
(including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (x) thirteen (13) months
from the date of issuance (or renewal) thereof, and (y) ten (10) Business Days prior to the
Revolving Facility Termination Date.

          (b) Revolving Facility LC Requests. Whenever the Company desires that a Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any eligible LC Obligor, the
Company shall give the applicable LC Issuer, and shall give or cause to be given to the Global
Agent, written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in
writing if so requested by the Global Agent) which, if in the form of written notice shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 (each such request, a “Revolving Facility LC
Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements for doing so have been
approved by the applicable LC Issuer), prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) at

47

 

least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant LC
Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Revolving
Facility LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily
requires in connection therewith (including, a completed application and agreement for, and if
applicable a reimbursement agreement with respect to, such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit).
In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of any LC Document
relating to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and the terms and provisions of this Agreement
respecting Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
control. Unless the applicable LC Issuer has received notice from any Lender, the Global Agent or
any Credit Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance of the applicable
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions specified in
Section 4.03 is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on
the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.06, such LC Issuer or any of such
LC Issuer’s Affiliates will issue a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit. Each request by the
Company or any LC Obligor for the issuance of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall be deemed
to be a representation by the Company and such LC Obligor that they shall be in compliance with the
preceding sentence and with Section 4.03 after giving effect to the requested issuance of such
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit.

          (c) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable
Revolving Facility LC Request, each LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit that has automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Revolving Facility Letter
of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such
renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later
than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit is issued. Once any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit that has automatic
renewal provisions has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not
require) such LC Issuer to permit the renewal of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit at any
time to an expiry date not later than 30 Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination
Date; provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such LC
Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof, or (ii) it has received
notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days
before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of non-renewal from the Global
Agent, any Lender or any Credit Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 4.03 is not then satisfied.

          (d) Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter
of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by the Lender that issued such Existing Letter of
Credit and such Lender shall be deemed to be the “LC Issuer” with respect to such Existing Letter
of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and each Existing Letter of Credit shall
constitute a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. The Company agrees that it shall be liable with respect to any
drawing made under any of the Existing Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section and the
other provisions of this Agreement. Each LC Issuer of an Existing Letter of Credit agrees that on
and after the Closing Date (i) the fees applicable to each Existing Letter of

48

 

Credit shall be the fees set forth in Section 2.14, and (ii) any reimbursement agreement in
effect with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated and each Existing
Letter of Credit shall be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          (e) Reserved.

          (f) Notice of Revolving Facility LC Issuance. Each LC Issuer shall, on the date of
each Revolving Facility LC Issuance by it, give the Global Agent, each applicable Lender and the
Company written notice of such Revolving Facility LC Issuance which shall specify whether such
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is a Commercial Letter of Credit or a Standby Letter of Credit
and be accompanied by a copy to the Global Agent of the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or
Revolving Facility Letters of Credit issued by it. Each LC Issuer shall provide to the Global
Agent and each Lender a quarterly (or monthly if requested by any applicable Lender) summary
describing each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer and then outstanding
and an identification for the relevant period of the daily aggregate Revolving Facility LC
Outstandings represented by Revolving Facility Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

          (g) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that at any time
one or more Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to make any Revolving
Facility LC Issuance unless either (i) such LC Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to
it and the Company to eliminate such LC Issuer’s risk with respect to the Revolving Facility LC
Participations of the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing
such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Funding Percentage of the Revolving Facility LC
Outstandings (it being understood that such LC Issuer would consider the Company or such Defaulting
Lender or Defaulting Lenders providing cash collateral to the Global Agent, for the benefit of such
applicable LC Issuer, to secure such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Funding Percentage
of the applicable Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, a satisfactory arrangement); or (ii) such
Revolving Facility LC Issuance, taking into account the potential failure of the Defaulting Lender
or Defaulting Lenders to risk participate therein, will not cause such LC Issuer to incur aggregate
credit exposure hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans and Revolving Facility LC Outstandings in
excess of its Commitments, and the Company has undertaken, for the benefit of such LC Issuer,
pursuant to an instrument satisfactory in form and substance to such LC Issuer, not to thereafter
incur Loans or Revolving Facility LC Outstandings hereunder that would cause such LC Issuer to
incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans and Revolving Facility LC
Outstandings in excess of its Commitments.

          (h) Reimbursement Obligations.

               (i) Revolving Facility Borrowers Obligations Generally; Effect as Borrowing. Each
Revolving Facility Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse (or cause any LC Obligor for whose account a
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit was issued to reimburse) each LC Issuer, by making payment
directly to such LC Issuer in immediately available funds at the payment office of such LC Issuer,
for any Unpaid Drawing with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit immediately after,
and in any event on the date on which, such LC Issuer notifies the Company (or any such other LC
Obligor for whose account such Revolving

49

 

Facility Letter of Credit was issued) of such payment or disbursement (which notice to the
Company (or such other LC Obligor) shall be delivered reasonably promptly after any such payment or
disbursement, such payment to be made in Dollars or in the applicable Designated Foreign Currency
in which such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is denominated, with interest on the amount so
paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (local time at
the payment office of the applicable LC Issuer) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from
and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such LC Issuer is reimbursed
therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are US
Base Rate Loans (plus an additional 2% per annum if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or
disbursement), any such interest also to be payable on demand. If by 11:00 A.M. on the Business
Day immediately following notice to it of its obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an
Unpaid Drawing, the Company or the relevant LC Obligor has not made such reimbursement out of its
available cash on hand or a contemporaneous Borrowing hereunder (if such Borrowing is otherwise
available to the Company or such LC Obligor), (x) the Company, or if the LC Obligor is a Foreign
Revolving Facility Borrower, such Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower, will in each case be deemed
to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Revolving Loans that are US Base Rate Loans in an aggregate
Dollar Equivalent principal amount sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Global
Agent shall promptly give notice to the Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the
Lenders shall (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.03
(other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing)), unless they are legally prohibited from doing
so, make the Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed Notice of Borrowing (which Revolving Loans
shall be considered made under Section 2.02), and (z) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be
disbursed directly to the applicable LC Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such
reimbursement, with any excess proceeds to be made available to the applicable Borrower in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Any notice given by the Global Agent
or applicable LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.06(h)(i) may be oral if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

               (ii) Obligations Absolute. Each LC Obligor’s obligation under this Section to
reimburse each LC Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest
thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of
any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such LC Obligor may have or have had against
such LC Issuer, the Global Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any circumstances
described in Section 2.06(i)(v), and any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing,
it being understood and agreed that such LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence
and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any LC Obligor’s or the Company’s
instructions or those contained in the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit or any modifications,
amendments or supplements thereto; provided, however, that no LC Obligor shall be obligated to
reimburse a LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of such LC Issuer, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.

50

 

               (iii) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any
request for drawing under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the
applicable LC Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates
required to be delivered under such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit have been delivered and
that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit.

               (iv) Indemnity. The Company and each LC Obligor hereby agrees to protect, indemnify,
pay and save harmless each LC Issuer and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes,
penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel unless the allocated
costs resulting from services provided by such internal counsel are duplicative of services then
being provided by outside counsel) which such LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates may incur or be
subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Revolving Facility Letter
of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such LC Issuer as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful dishonor by such LC Issuer or any of such LC Issuer’s Affiliates
of a proper demand for payment made under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, except if such
dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future
de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority.

               (v) Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Credit Party and the applicable
LC Issuer, or such LC Issuer’s Affiliates, such Credit Party assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Revolving
Facility Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such LC Issuer
shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Credit
Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for an issuance of any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, even if it should in
fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged
(even if such LC Issuer or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or
sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof,
in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure
of the beneficiary of any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, or any other party to which
such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions
required in order to draw upon such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or any other claim of any
Credit Party against any beneficiary of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, or any such
transferee, or any dispute between or among any Credit Party and any beneficiary of any Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays
in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether
or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay
in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the
beneficiary of any such Revolving Facility Letter of

51

 

Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit; or
(viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such LC Issuer or its Affiliates,
as applicable, including any act or omission of any Governmental Authority, and none of the above
shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such LC Issuer’s or its Affiliates rights
or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve such LC Issuer from liability
for such LC Issuer’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions
or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall such
LC Issuer or its Affiliates be liable to any Credit Party for any indirect, consequential,
incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation
attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property
relating to a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the applicable LC Issuer and each of its
Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such LC Issuer
or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on
their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any
claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent
as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such LC
Issuer or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a
statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement
indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable
for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the
relevant Revolving Facility Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming
that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and
(vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such LC Issuer or its Affiliate in any way
related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or
of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any
drawing in connection with any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit that is the subject of such
Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Revolving Facility Letter
of Credit.

          In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above,
any action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or its Affiliates under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or
omitted in good faith, shall not put such LC Issuer or its Affiliates under any resulting liability
to the Company, any other Borrower or any Lender.

          (i) Revolving Facility LC Participations.

               (i) Immediately upon each Revolving Facility LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender,
and each such Lender (each a “Revolving Facility LC Participant”) shall be deemed
irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer,

52

 

without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (a “Revolving
Facility LC Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s Funding Percentage of the Stated
Amount of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in effect at such time of issuance, in such
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made
thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect thereto (although
LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Global Agent for the account of the
Lenders as provided in Section 2.14 and the Revolving Facility LC Participants shall have no right
to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.14(e)), the obligations
of any LC Obligor under any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or guaranty
pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

               (ii) In determining whether to pay under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, a LC Issuer
shall not have any obligation relative to the Revolving Facility LC Participants other than to
determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of
such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by a LC Issuer
under or in connection with any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such LC Issuer any
resulting liability.

     In the event that a LC Issuer makes any payment under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit
and the applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.06(h) (by a Revolving Loan or otherwise), such LC Issuer shall promptly
notify the Global Agent, and the Global Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Facility LC
Participant, of such failure, and upon such notice each Revolving Facility LC Participant shall
promptly and unconditionally pay to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer, the amount
of such Revolving Facility LC Participant’s Funding Percentage of such payment in Dollars or in the
applicable Designated Foreign Currency (unless the Global Agent agrees to payment in Dollars) in
which such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is denominated and in same day funds; provided,
however, that no Revolving Facility LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Global Agent
its Funding Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer
under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such LC Issuer as determined by a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Global Agent so notifies any
Revolving Facility LC Participant required to fund a payment under a Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Revolving
Facility LC Participant shall make available to the Global Agent for the account of the relevant LC
Issuer such Revolving Facility LC Participant’s Funding Percentage of the amount of such payment on
such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Revolving Facility LC Participant
shall not have so made its Funding Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Global
Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer, such Revolving Facility LC Participant agrees to
pay to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer forthwith on demand such amount, together
with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Global
Agent for the account of such LC Issuer as follows: (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the date and (ii) at a rate per
annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate on and after the fourth day
following the date on which the applicable

53

 

Letter of Credit was drawn. The failure of any Revolving Facility LC Participant to make
available to the Global Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its Funding Percentage of
any payment under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Revolving
Facility LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Global Agent for the
account of such LC Issuer its Funding Percentage of any payment under any Revolving Facility Letter
of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Revolving Facility LC Participant shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Facility LC Participant to make available to
the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Revolving Facility LC Participant’s
Funding Percentage of any such payment. The failure of the Global Agent or the applicable LC
Issuer to give any such notice of a drawing of the applicable Revolving Facility Letter of Credit
or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Facility LC Participant to effect such payment on the
date therefor shall not relieve any such Revolving Facility LC Participant from its obligations
under this Section 2.06(i).

               (iii) Whenever a LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation from an LC Obligor
as to which the Global Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the
Revolving Facility LC Participants pursuant to subpart (ii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the
Global Agent and the Global Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Facility LC Participant that
has paid its applicable Funding Percentage thereof, in same day funds, an amount equal to such
Revolving Facility LC Participant’s applicable Payment Sharing Percentage of the principal amount
thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective Revolving Facility LC
Participations, as and to the extent so received.

               (iv) If the Global Agent is required at any time to return to the Company, any LC Obligor or
any other Credit Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any
proceeding related to an Insolvency Event, any portion of any payment made by the Company, any LC
Obligor or any other Credit Party to the Global Agent for the account of the applicable LC Issuer
pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under the Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Global Agent, forthwith
return to the Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer the amount of its Funding Percentage
of any amounts so returned by the Global Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is
made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Global Agent, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

               (v) The obligations of the Revolving Facility LC Participants to make payments to the Global
Agent for the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit shall
be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification
or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following
circumstances:

                    (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit;

54

 

                    (B) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that (y) such Lender may have
against the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates, the Company, any LC Obligor or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever, or which the Company or any LC Obligor may have against such LC
Issuer or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; or (z)
any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit, any transferee of any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
transferee may be acting), the Global Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the
applicable LC Obligor and the beneficiary named in any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit),
other than any claim that the applicable LC Obligor may have against any applicable LC Issuer for
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit;

                    (C) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document
presented under or in connection with any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, or any draft,
certificate or other document presented under the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect; or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, in each case even if the applicable LC Issuer or any of its
Affiliates has been notified thereof;

                    (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of
the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

                    (E) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto, or the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

                    (F) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Company, any LC Obligor or any
other Credit Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit,
or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other
right which the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party or any Lender may have at any time
against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the applicable LC Issuer or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction
(including any underlying transaction between the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party
or Subsidiaries of the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party and the beneficiary for
which any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit was procured);

                    (G) payment by the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates under any Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or

55

 

certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit;

                    (H) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Revolving Facility
Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a
Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value
or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit;

                    (I) any failure by the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates to issue any Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Company or any LC Obligor, unless such LC
Issuer has received written notice from the Company or such LC Obligor of such failure within three
Business Days after such LC Issuer shall have furnished the Company or such LC Obligor and the
Global Agent a copy of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and such error is material and no
drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

                    (J) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party or Subsidiaries
of the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party;

                    (K) the occurrence or continuance of any proceeding related to an Insolvency Event with
respect to the Company, any LC Obligor or any other Credit Party;

                    (L) the fact that the Revolving Facility Termination Date shall have passed or this Agreement
or the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

                    (M) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing.

               (vi) To the extent any LC Issuer is not indemnified by the Company or any LC Obligor, the
Revolving Facility LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC Issuer, in proportion to
their respective Fixed Commitment Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought),
for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on,
asserted against or incurred by such LC Issuer in performing its respective duties in any way
related to or arising out of Revolving Facility LC Issuances by it; provided, however, that no
Revolving Facility LC Participants shall be liable for (A) any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses
or disbursements resulting from the failure of any other Revolving Facility LC Participant to fund
any Revolving Facility LC Participation pursuant to this Section.

56

 

     Section 2.07 Canadian Letters of Credit.

          (a) Canadian LC Issuance. At any time after a Canadian Borrower has become a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.19 and thereafter but prior
to the Revolving Facility Termination Date, the Company may request a LC Issuer at any time and
from time to time to issue, for the account of any Canadian Borrower, and subject to and upon the
terms and conditions herein set forth, each LC Issuer agrees to issue from time to time Canadian
Letters of Credit denominated and payable in Canadian Dollars and in each case in such form as may
be approved by such LC Issuer and the Global Agent; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Canadian LC Issuance shall be made if after giving effect thereto: (A) the Canadian
LC Outstandings would exceed the Canadian LC Commitment Amount, (B) the Canadian Sub-Facility
Exposure of any Canadian Lender would exceed such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment, (C) the
Aggregate Canadian Sub-Facility Exposure would exceed the Total Canadian Commitment, (D) the
Foreign Currency Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, (E) the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower Exposure would exceed the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, or (F) any Borrower
would be required to prepay Loans or cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.16(c). Subject to Section 2.07(c) below, each Canadian Letter of Credit shall have an
expiry date (including any renewal periods) occurring not later than the earlier of (x) thirteen
(13) months from the date of issuance (or renewal) thereof, and (y) ten (10) Business Days prior to
the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

          (b) Canadian LC Requests. Whenever the Company desires that a Letter of Credit be
issued for the account of a Canadian Borrower, the Company shall give the applicable LC Issuer, and
shall give or cause to be given to the Global Agent, written or telephonic notice (in the case of
telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Global Agent) which, if in
the form of written notice shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-4 (each such
request, a “Canadian LC Request”), or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements
for doing so have been approved by such LC Issuer), prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice
Office) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the relevant
LC Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which Canadian
LC Request shall include such supporting documents that such LC Issuer customarily requires in
connection therewith. In the event of any inconsistency between any of the terms or provisions of
any LC Document relating to any Canadian Letter of Credit and the terms and provisions of this
Agreement respecting Canadian Letters of Credit, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
control. Unless the applicable LC Issuer has received notice from any Lender, the Global Agent or
any Credit Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance of the applicable
Canadian Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not
satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of
the other Canadian Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07, such LC Issuer or any of such LC
Issuer’s Affiliates will issue a Canadian Letter of Credit. Each request by the Company or any LC
Obligor for the issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by
the Company and such LC Obligor that they shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and
with Section 4.03 after giving effect to the requested issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

57

 

          (c) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If an LC Obligor so requests in any applicable
Canadian LC Request, each LC Issuer shall agree to issue a Canadian Letter of Credit that has
automatic renewal provisions; provided, however, that any Canadian Letter of Credit that has
automatic renewal provisions must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once
in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Canadian Letter of
Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Canadian Letter of Credit is issued. Once
any such Canadian Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the
Canadian Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Issuer to permit
the renewal of such Canadian Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than 30
Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that such LC
Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (i) such LC Issuer has determined that it would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Canadian Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms
hereof, or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the
day that is two Business Days before the date that such LC Issuer is permitted to send a notice of
non-renewal from the Global Agent, any Lender or any Credit Party that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied.

          (d) Reserved.

          (e) Notice of Canadian LC Issuance. Each LC Issuer shall, on the date of each
Canadian LC Issuance by it, give the Global Agent, each applicable Lender and the Company written
notice of such Canadian LC Issuance which shall specify whether such Canadian Letter of Credit is a
Commercial Letter of Credit or a Standby Letter of Credit and be accompanied by a copy to the
Global Agent of the Canadian Letter of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit issued by it. Each LC
Issuer shall provide to the Global Agent and each Canadian Lender a quarterly (or monthly if
requested by any applicable Lender) summary describing each Canadian Letter of Credit issued by
such LC Issuer and then outstanding and an identification for the relevant period of the daily
aggregate Canadian LC Outstandings represented by Canadian Letters of Credit issued by such LC
Issuer.

          (f) Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that at any time
one or more Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, no LC Issuer shall be required to make any Canadian LC
Issuance unless either (i) such LC Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the
Company to eliminate such LC Issuer’s risk with respect to the Canadian LC Participations of the
Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s
or Defaulting Lenders’ Canadian Commitment Percentage of the Canadian LC Outstandings (it being
understood that such LC Issuer would consider the Company or such Defaulting Lender or Defaulting
Lenders providing cash collateral to the Global Agent, for the benefit of such LC Issuer, to secure
such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ Funding Percentage of the Canadian Letter of
Credit, a satisfactory arrangement); or (ii) such Canadian LC Issuance, taking into account the
potential failure of the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders to risk participate therein, will
not cause such LC Issuer to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Revolving
Loans and Canadian LC Outstandings in excess of its Commitments, and the Company has undertaken,
for the benefit of such LC Issuer, pursuant to an instrument satisfactory in form and substance to
such LC Issuer, not to thereafter incur Revolving Loans or Canadian LC Outstandings hereunder that
would cause such LC Issuer

58

 

to incur aggregate credit exposure hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans and Canadian LC
Outstandings in excess of its Commitments.

          (g) Reimbursement Obligations.

               (i) Canadian Borrowers Obligations Generally; Effect as Borrowing. Each Canadian
Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each LC Issuer, by making payment directly to such LC Issuer in
immediately available funds at the payment office of such LC Issuer in Canada, for any Unpaid
Drawings with respect to any Canadian Letter of Credit immediately after, and in any event on the
date on which, such LC Issuer notifies the Company and the applicable LC Obligor of such payment or
disbursement (which notice to the Company or such Obligor shall be delivered reasonably promptly
after any such payment or disbursement), such payment to be made in Canadian Dollars, with interest
on the amount so paid or disbursed by such LC Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00
P.M. (local time at the payment office of the applicable LC Issuer in Canada) on the date of such
payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the
date such LC Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall be the rate then
applicable to Canadian Revolving Loans that are Canadian Base Rate Loans (plus an additional 2% per
annum if not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement), any such interest also to be
payable on demand. If by 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately following notice to it of its
obligation to make reimbursement in respect of an Unpaid Drawing, the relevant LC Obligor has not
made such reimbursement out of its available cash on hand or a contemporaneous Canadian Borrowing
hereunder (if such Canadian Borrowing is otherwise available to such LC Obligor), (x) the LC
Obligor will in each case be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing for Canadian Revolving
Loans that are Canadian Base Rate Loans in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount
sufficient to reimburse such Unpaid Drawing (and the Global Agent shall promptly give notice to the
Canadian Lenders of such deemed Notice of Borrowing), (y) the Canadian Lenders shall, unless they
are legally prohibited from doing so, make the Canadian Revolving Loans contemplated by such deemed
Notice of Borrowing (which Canadian Revolving Loans shall be considered made under Section 2.03),
and (z) the proceeds of such Canadian Revolving Loans shall be disbursed directly to the applicable
LC Issuer to the extent necessary to effect such reimbursement, with any excess proceeds to be made
available to the applicable Canadian Borrower in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. Any notice given by the Global Agent or applicable LC Issuer pursuant to this
Section 2.07(g)(i) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such
an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

               (ii) Obligations Absolute. Each LC Obligor’s obligation under this Section to
reimburse each LC Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest
thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of
any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that such LC Obligor may have or have had against
such LC Issuer, the Global Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any of the
circumstances described in Section 2.07(h)(v) and any defense based upon the failure of any drawing
under a Canadian Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Canadian Letter of Credit or any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing, it being
understood and agreed that such LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or
mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any LC Obligor’s

59

 

or the Company’s instructions or those contained in the Canadian Letters of Credit or any
modifications, amendments or supplements thereto; provided, however, that no LC Obligor shall be
obligated to reimburse a LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a Canadian
Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of such LC Issuer as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction.

               (iii) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any
request for drawing under any Canadian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable
LC Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be
delivered under such Canadian Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their
face with the requirements of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

               (iv) Indemnity. The Company and each LC Obligor hereby agrees to protect, indemnify,
pay and save harmless each LC Issuer and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Canadian Letter of
Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties,
interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel unless the allocated costs
resulting from services provided by such internal counsel are duplicative of services then being
provided by outside counsel) which such LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject
to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Canadian Letter of Credit, other
than as a result of (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Issuer as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the
wrongful dishonor by such LC Issuer or any of such LC Issuer’s Affiliates of a proper demand for
payment made under any Canadian Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or
omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or
Governmental Authority.

               (v) Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Credit Party and the applicable
LC Issuer, or such LC Issuer’s Affiliates, such Credit Party assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Canadian
Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such LC Issuer shall not
be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Credit Party or
other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for an issuance of any such Canadian Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove
to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such
LC Issuer or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of
any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Canadian
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary
of any such Canadian Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Canadian Letter of Credit
may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such
Canadian Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Credit Party against any beneficiary of such
Canadian Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Credit Party
and any beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,

60

 

telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation
of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
required in order to make a drawing under any such Canadian Letter of Credit or of the proceeds
thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Canadian Letter of Credit of the
proceeds of any drawing under such Canadian Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of such LC Issuer or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any
act or omission of any Governmental Authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or
prevent the vesting of, any of such LC Issuer’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder.
Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve such LC Issuer from liability for such LC Issuer’s
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described
in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall such LC Issuer or its
Affiliates be liable to any Credit Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive,
exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any
damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Canadian Letter of
Credit.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the applicable LC Issuer and each of its
Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such LC Issuer
or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Canadian
Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face
substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Canadian Letter of Credit;
(iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Canadian Letter of Credit, whether
such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful
dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such
presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such LC Issuer or its
Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising
negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a
draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of
any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Canadian
Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored
under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust
any claim or demand made on such LC Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued
at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a
carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with
any Canadian Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or
other documents presented in connection with such Canadian Letter of Credit fail to conform in any
way with such Canadian Letter of Credit.

          In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above,
any action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or its Affiliates under or in connection with the
Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or
omitted in good faith, shall not put such LC Issuer or its Affiliates under any resulting liability
to the Company, any Canadian Borrower or any Lender.

61

 

          (h) Canadian LC Participations.

               (i) Immediately upon each Canadian LC Issuance, the LC Issuer of such Canadian Letter of
Credit shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Canadian Lender, and each such Canadian
Lender (each a “Canadian LC Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally
to have purchased and received from such LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation (a “Canadian LC Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s
Canadian Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit in effect at
such time of issuance, in such Canadian Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each
drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any LC Obligor under this Agreement with respect
thereto (although LC Fees relating thereto shall be payable directly to the Global Agent for the
account of the Lenders as provided in Section 2.14 and the Canadian LC Participants shall have no
right to receive any portion of any fees of the nature contemplated by Section 2.14(e)), the
obligations of any LC Obligor under any LC Documents pertaining thereto, and any security for, or
guaranty pertaining to, any of the foregoing.

               (ii) In determining whether to pay under any Canadian Letter of Credit, a LC Issuer shall not
have any obligation relative to the Canadian LC Participants other than to determine that any
documents required to be delivered under such Canadian Letter of Credit have been delivered and
that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Canadian Letter of Credit.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by a LC Issuer under or in connection with any Canadian
Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability.

     In the event that a LC Issuer makes any payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit and the
applicable LC Obligor shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.07(g), such LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Global Agent, and the Global Agent shall
promptly notify each Canadian LC Participant of such failure, and each Canadian LC Participant
shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Global Agent at the Canadian Payment Office for the
account of such LC Issuer, the amount of such Canadian LC Participant’s Canadian Commitment
Percentage of such payment in Canadian Dollars and in same day funds; provided, however, that no
Canadian LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Global Agent its Canadian Commitment
Percentage of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such LC Issuer under a
Canadian Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross
negligence on the part of such LC Issuer as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction. If the Global Agent so notifies any Canadian LC Participant
required to fund a payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its
Notice Office) on any Business Day, such Canadian LC Participant shall make available to the Global
Agent at the Canadian Payment Office for the account of the relevant LC Issuer such Canadian LC
Participant’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in
same day funds. If and to the extent such Canadian LC Participant shall not have so made its
Canadian Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Global Agent for the
account of the relevant LC Issuer, such Participant agrees to pay to the Global Agent for the
account of such LC Issuer, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for
each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Global Agent for the account of
such LC Issuer at (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate

62

 

during the first three (3) days following the date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the
rate applicable to Loans under the Canadian Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the
date on which the applicable Letter of Credit was drawn. The failure of any Canadian LC
Participant to make available to the Global Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuer its
Canadian Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Canadian Letter of Credit shall not relieve
any other Canadian LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Global Agent
for the account of such LC Issuer its Canadian Commitment Percentage of any payment under any
Canadian Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Canadian LC Participant
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Canadian LC Participant to make available to the
Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer such other Canadian LC Participant’s Canadian
Commitment Percentage of any such payment. The failure of the Global Agent or the applicable LC
Issuer to give any such notice of a drawing of the applicable Canadian Letter of Credit or in
sufficient time to enable any Canadian LC Participant to effect such payment on the date therefor
shall not relieve any such Canadian LC Participant from its obligations under this Section 2.07(h).

               (iii) Whenever a LC Issuer receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation from an LC Obligor
as to which the Global Agent has received for the account of such LC Issuer any payments from the
Canadian LC Participants pursuant to subpart (ii) above, such LC Issuer shall pay to the Global
Agent at the Canadian Payment Office and the Global Agent shall promptly pay to each Canadian LC
Participant that has paid its applicable Canadian Commitment Percentage thereof, in same day funds,
an amount equal to such Canadian LC Participant’s applicable Canadian Commitment Percentage of the
principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective
Canadian LC Participations, as and to the extent so received.

               (iv) If the Global Agent is required at any time to return to the Company, any LC Obligor or
any other Credit Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any
proceeding related to an Insolvency Event, any portion of any payment made by the Company, any LC
Obligor or any other Credit Party to the Global Agent for the account of the applicable LC Issuer
pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under the Canadian Letter of Credit or
interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Global Agent, forthwith return to the
Global Agent for the account of such LC Issuer the amount of its Funding Percentage of any amounts
so returned by the Global Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date
such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Global Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

               (v) The obligations of the Canadian LC Participants to make payments to the Global Agent for
the account of each LC Issuer with respect to Canadian Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and
not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception
whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under
all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances :

                    (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any Canadian Letter of Credit;

63

 

                    (B) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that (y) such Lender may have
against the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates, the Company, any LC Obligor or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever, or which the Company or any LC Obligor may have against such LC
Issuer or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; or (z)
any LC Obligor may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Canadian Letter of Credit, any
transferee of any Canadian Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the Global Agent, any LC Issuer, any Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, any Canadian Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable LC Obligor and
the beneficiary named in any such Canadian Letter of Credit), other than any claim that the
applicable LC Obligor may have against any applicable LC Issuer for gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such LC Issuer in making payment under any applicable Canadian Letter of Credit;

                    (C) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any
signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document
presented under or in connection with any Canadian Letter of Credit, or any draft, certificate or
other document presented under the Canadian Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Canadian Letter of
Credit, in each case even if the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates has been notified
thereof;

                    (D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of
the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

                    (E) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto, or the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

                    (F) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Company, any LC Obligor or any
other Credit Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Canadian Letter of Credit, or the
existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which
the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party or any Lender may have at any time against a
beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Canadian Letter of Credit or
the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the applicable LC
Issuer or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any
underlying transaction between the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party or Subsidiaries
of the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party and the beneficiary for which any Canadian
Letter of Credit was procured);

                    (G) payment by the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates under any Canadian Letter of
Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not
comply with the terms of such Canadian Letter of Credit;

64

 

                    (H) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of
Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Canadian
Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other
characteristic of any property or services relating to a Canadian Letter of Credit;

                    (I) any failure by the applicable LC Issuer or any of its Affiliates to issue any Canadian
Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Company or any LC Obligor, unless such LC Issuer has
received written notice from the Company or such LC Obligor of such failure within three Business
Days after such LC Issuer shall have furnished the Company or such LC Obligor and the Global Agent
a copy of such Canadian Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made
thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

                    (J) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial
or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party or Subsidiaries
of the Company, any LC Obligor, any other Credit Party;

                    (K) the occurrence or continuance of any proceeding related to an Insolvency Event under the
Bankruptcy Code or any similar other Law with respect to the Company, any LC Obligor or any other
Credit Party;

                    (L) the fact that the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall have passed or this Agreement or
the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

                    (M) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing.

               (vi) To the extent any LC Issuer is not indemnified by the Company or any LC Obligor, the
Canadian LC Participants will reimburse and indemnify such LC Issuer, in proportion to their
respective Canadian Commitment Percentages, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of
whatsoever kind or nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Issuer in
performing its respective duties in any way related to or arising out of LC Issuances by it;
provided, however, that no Canadian LC Participants shall be liable for (A) any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses
or disbursements resulting from such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the failure of any other Canadian LC Participant to
fund any Canadian LC Participation pursuant to this Section.

     Section 2.08 Notice of Borrowing.

          (a) Time of Notice. Subject to Section 2.02(b), each Borrowing of a Loan shall be
made upon notice in the form provided for below which shall be provided by the applicable Borrower
to the Global Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Borrowing of a
Fixed Rate Loan, 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office), or 1:00 P.M.

65

 

(local time at its Notice Office) if the Global Agent has provided a Notice of Adjustment
pursuant to Section 2.10(b) on such day, at least three Business Days prior to the date of such
Borrowing, (ii) in the case of each Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time
at its Notice Office), or 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) if the Global Agent has
provided a Notice of Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) on such day, on the proposed date of
such Borrowing, and (iii) in the case of any Borrowing under the Swing Line Facility, prior to 1:00
P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) on the proposed date of such Borrowing.

          (b) Notice of Borrowing. Each request for a Borrowing shall be made by an Authorized
Officer of the Borrower requesting such Borrowing by delivering written notice of such request
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 (each such notice, a “Notice of
Borrowing”) or by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing by delivery by an
Authorized Officer of such Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing by letter, facsimile or telex), and in
any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of the Borrowing (which
shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Type of Loans such Borrowing will consist of, (iv) whether such
Loan is a Revolving Loan, and (v) if applicable, the initial Interest Period, and Designated
Foreign Currency applicable thereto. Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Global Agent may act
prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice
believed by the Global Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the applicable
Borrower entitled to give telephonic notices under this Agreement on behalf of such Borrower. In
each such case, the Global Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

          (c) Minimum Borrowing Amount. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by any
Borrower shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

          (d) Maximum Borrowings. More than one Borrowing may be incurred by a Borrower on any
day; provided, however, that (i) if there are two or more Borrowings on a single day by the same
Borrower that consist of Fixed Rate Loans, each such Borrowing shall have a different initial
Interest Period, (ii) at no time shall there be more than 12 Borrowings of Fixed Rate Loans
outstanding hereunder for all of the Borrowers, and (iii) at no time shall there be more than three
Borrowings of Canadian Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder.

     Section 2.09 Funding Obligations; Disbursement of Funds.

          (a) Several Nature of Funding Obligations. The Commitments of each Lender hereunder
and the obligation of each Lender to make Loans, acquire and fund Swing Loan Participations,
Revolving Facility LC Participations and Canadian LC Participations, as the case may be, are
several and not joint obligations. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in its obligation to make Loans or fund any participation hereunder and each Lender shall be
obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it and fund its participations required to be
funded by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill any of its
Commitments hereunder and no such failure, or any other failure to perform its obligations
hereunder, by any Lender shall affect the Obligations of any Borrower to any other party. Nothing
herein and no subsequent termination of the Commitments pursuant to

66

 

Section 2.15 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
commitments hereunder and in existence from time to time or to prejudice any rights that the
Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

          (b) Funding Obligations. Except with respect to the making of Swing Loans by the
Swing Line Lender and Foreign Currency Loans by an Accepting Lender or Augmenting Lender, all Loans
hereunder shall be funded as follows: (i) all Revolving Loans made, and Revolving Facility LC
Participations acquired by each Revolving Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, on
a pro rata basis based upon each Revolving Lender’s Funding Percentage of the amount of such
Revolving Borrowing or Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in effect on the date the applicable
Revolving Borrowing is to be made or the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued, and
(ii) all Canadian Revolving Loans made, and Canadian LC Participations acquired by each Canadian
Lender, shall be made or acquired, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based upon each Canadian
Lender’s Canadian Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Canadian Borrowing or Canadian LC
Participation in effect on the date the applicable Canadian Borrowing is to be made. Each Foreign
Currency Loan shall be funded by one or more Accepting Lenders and/or Augmenting Lenders in such
proportions agreed to among such Accepting Lenders, Augmenting Lenders, the Company and the Global
Agent immediately prior to the time of the making of such Foreign Currency Loan.

          (c) Notice to Lenders. The Global Agent shall promptly give each Lender written
notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing applicable
to such Lender, or Conversion or Continuation thereof, and LC Issuance, and of such Lender’s
proportionate share thereof or participation therein and of the other matters covered by the Notice
of Borrowing, Notice of Continuation or Conversion, Revolving Facility LC Request or Canadian LC
Request, as the case may be, relating thereto.

          (d) Funding of Loans.

               (i) Revolving Loans. Promptly on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each
Revolving Lender will make available its Funding Amount, if any, of each Revolving Borrowing (other
than a Revolving Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans) requested to be made on such date to the
Global Agent at the Payment Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds and the Global
Agent promptly will make available to the appropriate Borrower by depositing to its account at the
Payment Office (or such other account as such Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts
so made available in the type of funds received. With respect to any Foreign Currency Loan, each
Accepting Lender and/or Augmenting Lender that has agreed to make such Foreign Currency Loan in
accordance with Section 2.02(b) shall make available its proportionate amount of such Loan, as
determined in accordance with Section 2.09(b), on the date agreed to among such Accepting Lenders,
Augmenting Lenders, the Company and the Global Agent prior to the time of the making of such
Foreign Currency Loan, to the Global Agent at the Payment Office in the applicable Designated
Foreign Currency (or, if the Global Agent agrees, in Dollars) and in immediately available funds
and the Global Agent promptly will make available to the appropriate Borrower by depositing to its
account at the Payment Office (or such other account as such Borrower shall specify) the aggregate
of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Global Agent may, with respect to notices by the Borrowers for

67

 

Foreign Currency Loans, engage in reasonable rounding of the applicable Designated Foreign
Currency amounts requested to be loaned, and the Borrowers’ request or notice shall thereby be
deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.

               (ii) Canadian Revolving Loans. Promptly on the date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing, each Canadian Lender will make available its proportionate share, if any, of each
Canadian Borrowing requested to be made on such date to the Global Agent at the Canadian Payment
Office in Canadian Dollars and in immediately available funds and the Canadian Administrative
Branch of the Global Agent promptly will make available to the appropriate Canadian Borrower by
depositing to its account at the Canadian Payment Office (or such other account in Canada as such
Canadian Borrower shall specify) the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of
funds received.

               (iii) Reserved.

               (iv) Swing Loans.

                    (A) So long as the Swing Line Lender elects to make Swing Loans, promptly on the date
specified in each Notice of Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender will make available to the Company by
depositing to its account at the Payment Office (or such other account as the Company shall
specify) the aggregate of Swing Loans requested in such Notice of Borrowing.

                    (B) In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.05(a),
without the requirement for a specific request from the Company pursuant to Section 2.08(b), the
Swing Line Lender may make Swing Loans to the Company in accordance with the provisions of any
agreements between the Company and the Swing Line Lender relating to the Company’s deposit, sweep
and other accounts with the Swing Line Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the
management and investment of the Company’s cash assets as in effect from time to time (the
“Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in
the Company’s accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements.
Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.09(d)(iv)(B) in accordance with the provisions of the
Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth
in Section 2.05(a), (ii) be subject to any limitations as to individual amount set forth in the
Cash Management Agreement, (iii) be payable by the Company, both as to principal and interest, at
the times set forth in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Revolving
Facility Termination Date), (iv) not be made at any time after the Swing Line Lender has notice of
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (v) if not repaid by
the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each
Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests therein pursuant to Section 2.05(c) and
(vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the
terms and conditions of Section 2.05.

          (e) Advance Funding. Unless the Global Agent shall have been notified by any Lender
prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Global
Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Global

68

 

Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Global Agent or the
Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, as the case may be, on such date of Borrowing,
and the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, in reliance upon
such assumption, may (in their sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available
to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact
made available to the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, as
the case may be, by such Lender and the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the
Global Agent has made the same available to such Borrower, the Global Agent or the Canadian
Administrative Branch of the Global Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount
from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Global
Agent’s demand therefor, the Global Agent shall promptly notify such Borrower, and such Borrower
shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative
Branch of the Global Agent, as appropriate. The Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch
of the Global Agent, as applicable, shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or such
Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the
date such corresponding amount was made available by the Global Agent or the Canadian
Administrative Branch of the Global Agent to such Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is
recovered by the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent, at a rate
per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and
a rate determined by the Global Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (y) if paid by such Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in
accordance with Section 2.12, for the respective Loans at the Base Rate for payments to the Global
Agent and at the Canadian Base Rate for payments to the Canadian Administrative Branch of the
Global Agent (but without any requirement to pay any amounts in respect thereof pursuant to
Section 3.04).

     Section 2.10 Adjustment of Loans and Certain Other Obligations.

          (a) Requirement for Adjustment. If on any Adjustment Date (i) (A) the
Revolving/Canadian Facility Exposure of any Canadian Lender (whether directly or by its Canadian
Lending Installation) is in excess of an amount equal to such Lender’s Fixed Commitment Percentage
of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure and (B) such Lender has any Revolving Facility Exposure
owing to it, or (ii) (A) the Revolving/Canadian Facility Exposure of any Canadian Lender (whether
directly or by its Canadian Lending Installation) is less than an amount equal to such Lender’s
Fixed Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure and (B) the Non-Canadian Lenders have
Revolving Facility Exposure owing to them, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the
Obligations owing to all of the Revolving Lenders shall be adjusted through a repayment and
re-advancement of the Revolving Loans and a sale of Revolving Facility LC Outstandings in
accordance with this Section, such that the Revolving Facility Exposure of each Lender is equal to
its Fixed Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure, or as close thereto as
possible without exceeding the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Total Revolving
Commitment.

          (b) Notice of Adjustment. The Global Agent shall provide to each Lender and the
Company, on each Adjustment Date (or, if the Global Agent is aware of an adjustment that is going
to occur as a result of a notice received by the Global Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(b),

69

 

Section 2.08(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.16(a), on the date any such notice is received
by the Global Agent) notice by 12:00 noon (local time at its Notice Office) of any adjustment to be
made pursuant to this Section and shall specify therein for each Lender the details regarding the
adjustments to be made (a “Notice of Adjustment”).

          (c) Manner of Adjustment. On each Adjustment Date, to the extent necessary, the
Revolving Loans and Revolving Facility LC Outstandings shall be adjusted as hereinafter set forth
such that the Revolving/Canadian Facility Exposure of each applicable Lender is equal to its Fixed
Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving/Canadian Facility Exposure, or as close thereto as
possible without exceeding the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Total Revolving
Commitment. Any adjustment of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Facility LC Outstandings shall be
made by the Global Agent on the applicable Adjustment Date in the following manner:

               (i) the Revolving Borrowings (and all the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowings)
designated by the Global Agent in the Notice of Adjustment relating to such adjustment, as
determined in accordance with Section 2.10(d) below, as being required to be repaid, shall be
repaid in full by the Revolving Facility Borrowers out of the proceeds of new Revolving Borrowings
to be made as set forth in this Section;

               (ii) the Revolving Facility Borrowers shall pay on such Adjustment Date all of the accrued and
unpaid interest owing on all of the Revolving Loans made to each Revolving Facility Borrower that
are being repaid in accordance with this Section, together with any amounts that may be due
pursuant to Section 2.10(h) below;

               (iii) the new Revolving Borrowings (and the Revolving Loans comprising such Revolving
Borrowings) to be made pursuant to this Section shall, except as set forth below, be in the same
aggregate principal amount (except in the case of an adjustment being made as a result of a request
for a new Revolving Borrowing in which case the amount of the Revolving Loans shall be increased
appropriately to reflect the amount of such new Revolving Borrowing), of the same Type, have the
same Interest Period (or as close thereto as possible), and be in the same currency as the original
Revolving Borrowings to which they relate; provided, however, that (A) the principal amount of the
Revolving Loans to be made by each Lender pursuant to each such Revolving Borrowing shall be in the
amount specified in the Notice of Adjustment sent by the Global Agent, and (B) unless the
applicable Revolving Facility Borrowers have properly submitted a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion or Continuation in accordance with this Agreement, all such Revolving Loans comprising
such new Revolving Borrowings shall be US Base Rate Loans unless and until Converted in accordance
with Section 2.13 by the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower to Fixed Rate Loans or, in the case
of any Foreign Currency Loan, shall be repaid by the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower in full
on the Adjustment Date unless the applicable Revolving Facility Borrower has Continued such Foreign
Currency Loan in accordance with Section 2.13;

               (iv) if specified by the Global Agent in the Notice of Adjustment, each Lender or the
applicable Lenders shall purchase from the other Lenders or other applicable Lenders the amount of
the Revolving Facility LC Outstandings of such other Lenders or other applicable Lenders as
specified in such Notice of Adjustment; and

70

 

               (v) the Revolving Facility Borrowers shall pay on such Adjustment Date all of the accrued and
unpaid LC Fees with respect to any Revolving Facility LC Outstandings that are being sold pursuant
to subpart (iv) above, together with any amounts that may be due pursuant to Section 2.10(h) below.

          (d) Determination of Loans to be Repaid. In determining which Revolving Loans are
required to be repaid pursuant to this Section, the Global Agent shall designate such Revolving
Loans in the following order (in each case to the extent Revolving Loans of such Type are
outstanding and in an amount necessary to effect the adjustments required pursuant to this
Section): (i) first, US Base Rate Loans, (ii) second, Eurodollar Loans (with Interest Periods
ending closest to the Adjustment Date on which such Eurodollar Loans are to be repaid having
preference over Interest Periods ending later), and (iii) third, Foreign Currency Loans (with
Interest Periods ending closest to the Adjustment Date on which such Foreign Currency Loans are to
be repaid having preference over Interest Periods ending later).

          (e) Payment Obligations. To the extent necessary, each Lender shall pay to the Global
Agent, for distribution to the appropriate Lenders, the amounts required to be paid by it pursuant
to each Notice of Adjustment. Each such Lender shall make such amounts available to the Global
Agent at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 2.09(d), provided that any amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(iv) above shall be paid by the appropriate Lenders on the
applicable Adjustment Date to the Global Agent or for the account of the Lenders to which such
payment is due in immediately available funds at the Payment Office.

          (f) Participations. If any Lender determines that it is legally prohibited from
making any Revolving Loans when required to do so pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall
purchase an undivided participating interest in the Revolving Credit Exposure of the other Lenders
as appropriate in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans such
prohibited Lender was required to fund. On the date that any prohibited Lender is required to
purchase a participation pursuant to the preceding sentence, each such Lender shall pay to each
other Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount due to each such other Lender. If any
amount required to be paid by any Lender to any other Lender pursuant to the above provisions is
not paid on the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to each other Lender on demand
interest on the amount not so paid at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Global Agent in accordance with industry rules on interbank compensation from the
due date until such amount is paid in full.

          (g) Obligations Unconditional. Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans
and/or to purchase Revolving Facility LC Outstandings or participations pursuant to this
Section shall be subject to the conditions that (i) such Lender shall have received a Notice of
Adjustment complying with the provisions hereof and (ii) in the case of an adjustment being made as
a result of a request by a Revolving Facility Borrower for a new Revolving Borrowing, that such
Revolving Facility Borrower has satisfied all of the conditions to the making of such new Revolving
Facility Borrowing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, but otherwise shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (A) any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against any
other Lender, any Credit Party, or any other Person, or any Credit Party may have against any
Lender or other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (B)

71

 

the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any event or circumstance
involving a Material Adverse Effect upon the Borrowers; (D) any breach of any Loan Document by any
party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.

          (h) Breakage Compensation. Each Borrower shall be required to pay any breakage
compensation or other prepayment costs associated with the adjustment of any of the Obligations
pursuant to this Section, in each case in accordance with Article III. The Global Agent shall use
its best efforts to effect any adjustment of the Obligations pursuant to this Section in a manner
that minimizes any such breakage compensation or prepayment costs, but shall not be liable to the
Borrowers for failing to do so.

     Section 2.11 Evidence of Obligations.

          (a) Loan Accounts of Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual
practice an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrowers 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.

          (b) Loan Accounts of Global Agent; Lender Register. The Global Agent shall maintain
accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and Borrowing made hereunder, the
Type thereof, the currency in which such Loan is denominated, the Interest Period and applicable
interest rate, (ii) the amount and other details with respect to each Letter of Credit issued
hereunder, (iii) the amount of any principal due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Global Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (v) the other details
relating to the Loans and Letters of Credit to be made or issued hereunder. In addition, the
Global Agent shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on or in which it will
record the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments from time to time of each of the
Lenders. The Global Agent will make the Lender Register available to any Lender or the Company
upon its request.

          (c) Effect of Loan Accounts, etc. The entries made in the accounts maintained
pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the Obligations recorded therein, provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Global Agent to
maintain such accounts or any error (other than manifest error) therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of any Credit Party to repay or prepay the Loans or the other Obligations in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (d) Notes. Upon request of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender, (i) the Company will
execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith to evidence the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on,
the Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, (ii) each Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower will
execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Facility Note with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith to evidence its obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the
Revolving Loans made to it by such Lender, (iii) if applicable, the Canadian Borrowers will execute
and deliver to each Canadian Lender a CDOR Note and a

72

 

Canadian Base Rate Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence
their obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Canadian Revolving Loans made to
them by such Lender, and (iv) the Company will execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a Swing
Line Note with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith to evidence the Company’s
obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Swing Loans made to it by the Swing Line
Lender; provided, however, that the decision of any Lender or the Swing Line Lender to not request
a Note shall in no way detract from any Borrower’s obligation to repay the Loans and other amounts
owing by such Borrower to such Lender or the Swing Line Lender.

     Section 2.12 Interest; Default Rate.

          (a) Interest on Revolving Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Revolving
Loan made by each Lender shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all
times be equal to (i) during such periods as such Revolving Loan is a US Base Rate Loan, the Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, (ii) during such periods as
such Revolving Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, the relevant Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar
Loan for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to
time, and (iii) during such periods as a Revolving Loan is a Foreign Currency Loan, the relevant
Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate for such Foreign Currency Loan for the applicable Interest Period
plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

          (b) Interest on Canadian Revolving Loans.

               (i) Each Canadian Base Rate Loan made by each Canadian Lender shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be
equal to the Canadian Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

               (ii) Each CDOR Loan made by each Canadian Lender shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the
CDOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the applicable Margin in effect from time to
time.

          (c) Reserved.

          (d) Interest on Swing Loans. The outstanding principal amount of each Swing Loan
shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the
Quoted Rate applicable thereto.

          (e) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if an Event of Default is
in existence, upon written notice by the Global Agent (which notice the Global Agent shall give at
the direction of the Required Lenders), (i) all outstanding amounts of principal and, to the extent
permitted by law, all overdue interest, in respect of each Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate, and (ii) the fees applicable to any
Revolving Facility LC Outstandings and Canadian LC Outstandings shall be increased by an additional
2% per annum in excess of the fees otherwise applicable thereto. In addition, if any amount (other
than amounts as to which the foregoing subparts (i) and (ii) are applicable)

73

 

payable by any Borrower under the Loan Documents is not paid when due, upon written notice by
the Global Agent (which notice the Global Agent shall give at the direction of the Required
Lenders), such amount shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to 2% per
annum above the interest rate that is or would be applicable from time to time pursuant to
Section 2.12(a)(i) above.

          (f) Accrual and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue from and including the
date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any prepayment or repayment thereof and shall be
payable by the applicable Borrower: (i) in respect of each US Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears
on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March, (ii) in respect of each
Canadian Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month, (iii) in
respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in
the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on the dates that are successively three
months after the commencement of such Interest Period, (iv) in respect of any Swing Loan, quarterly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March, and (v) in respect
of all Loans, on any repayment, prepayment or Conversion (on the amount repaid, prepaid or
Converted), on each Adjustment Date if required pursuant to Section 2.10, at maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise), and, after such maturity, on demand.

          (g) Computations of Interest and Discounts. All computations of interest on Fixed
Rate Loans and Swing Loans hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year
of 360 days and all computations of interest on Base Rate Loans and Unpaid Drawings hereunder shall
be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. For
purposes of this Agreement, whenever interest to be paid on a Canadian Revolving Loan is to be
calculated on the basis of a period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of
interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so
determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be
ascertained and divided by such lesser period of time.

          (h) Information as to Interest Rates. The Global Agent upon determining the interest
rate for any Borrowing shall promptly notify the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders thereof.

     Section 2.13 Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

          (a) Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans. The Company and each other
Revolving Facility Borrower shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, to (i) Convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans
of one Type made to it into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan that can be made to
it pursuant to Section 2.02 and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency
Loans, as the case may be, at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Borrowing of
Eurodollar Loans or Foreign Currency Loans (in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original
Foreign Currency Loan) with a new Interest Period; provided, however, that (A) no Foreign Currency
Loan may be Converted into a US Base Rate Loan, Eurodollar Loan or a Foreign Currency Loan that is
denominated in a different Designated Foreign Currency, and (B) any Conversion of Eurodollar Loans
into US Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Loans.

74

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Borrower delivers a Notice of Continuation or Conversion
requesting that the Lenders renew the Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate with respect to an outstanding
Revolving Borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in a Designated Foreign Currency, the Lenders
shall be under no obligation to renew such Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate if any Lender delivers to
the Global Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, four (4) Business Days prior to effective
date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide Revolving Loans in such Designated
Foreign Currency. In the event the Global Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Global Agent will notify the Borrowers promptly, but no later than
12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the renewal of
such Revolving Loans in such Designated Foreign Currency is not then available, and the Global
Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same. If the Global Agent shall have so
notified the Borrowers that any such continuation of Designated Foreign Currency Loans is not then
available, any notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such
Designated Foreign Currency Loans shall be redenominated into the Base Rate in Dollars with effect
from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Designated Foreign Currency
Loans. The Global Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any such
redenomination, and in such notice, the Global Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent
amount of the redenominated Designated Foreign Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with
respect thereto and such Lender’s ratable share thereof. If the Borrowers fail to select a new
Interest Period or Designated Foreign Currency to apply to any Revolving Borrowing of Loans under
the Adjusted Foreign Currency Rate at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to
such Revolving Borrowing in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 [Interest; Default
Rate], the Borrowers shall be deemed to have continued such Revolving Borrowing at the same
Designated Foreign Currency for an Interest Period of the same duration, as applicable, commencing
upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

          (b) Conversion and Continuation of Canadian Revolving Loans. The Canadian Borrowers
shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to (i) Convert all or
a portion of the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Revolving Loans of one Type made to them
into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan that can be made to them pursuant to the
Canadian Sub-Facility and (ii) Continue a Borrowing of CDOR Loans at the end of the applicable
Interest Period as a new Borrowing of CDOR Loans with a new Interest Period, provided, however,
that any Conversion of CDOR Loans into Canadian Base Rate Loans shall be made on, and only on, the
last day of an Interest Period for such CDOR Loans.

          (c) Notice of Continuation and Conversion. Each Continuation or Conversion of a Loan
shall be made upon notice in the form provided for below provided by the applicable Borrower to the
Global Agent at its Notice Office not later than (i) in the case of each Continuation of or
Conversion into a Fixed Rate Loan, prior to 11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office), or 1:00
P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) if the Global Agent has provided a Notice of Adjustment
pursuant to Section 2.10(b) on such day, at least three Business Days prior to the date of such
Continuation or Conversion, and (ii) in the case of each Conversion to a Base Rate Loan, prior to
11:00 A.M. (local time at its Notice Office), or 1:00 P.M. (local time at its Notice Office) if the
Global Agent has provided a Notice of Adjustment pursuant to Section 2.10(b) on such day, on the
proposed date of such Conversion. Each such request shall

75

 

be made by an Authorized Officer of the applicable Borrower delivering written notice of such
request substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (each such notice, a “Notice of
Continuation or Conversion”) or by telephone (to be continued immediately in writing by
delivery by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower of a Notice of Continuation or Conversion), and
in any event each such request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the Borrowings to be
Continued or Converted, (B) the date of the Continuation or Conversion (which shall be a Business
Day), and (C) the Interest Period or, in the case of a Continuation, the new Interest Period.
Without in any way limiting the obligation of each Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic
notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Global Agent may act prior to receipt of written
confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Global
Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower entitled to give telephonic
notices under this Agreement on behalf of such Borrower. In each such case, the Global Agent’s
record of the terms of such telephonic notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 2.14 Fees.

          (a) Commitment Fees.

               (i) The Company agrees to pay to the Global Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender that
is a Revolving Lender as consideration for its Revolving Commitment, nonrefundable commitment fees
(the “Commitment Fees”) accruing from the date hereof until the Revolving Facility
Termination Date based upon such Lender’s Fixed Commitment Percentage of the Total Revolving
Commitment in effect on each day, computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to (A) the
Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect on such day (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) times (B) the average daily Unutilized
Revolving Commitment (for purposes of this computation, PNC’s Swing Loans shall be deemed to be
borrowed amounts under its Revolving Credit Commitment); provided, however, that any Commitment Fee
accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to
the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the
Company so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such
Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Company prior to such time; and
provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a
Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

               (ii) Accrued Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of
each June, September, December and March and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

          (b) [Reserved]

          (c) LC Fees for Revolving Facility Letters of Credit.

               (i) The Company agrees to pay a fee in respect of each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit
issued hereunder that is a Standby Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance of
such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit until the expiration date thereof

76

 

(including any extensions of such expiration date that may be made at the election of the
account party or the beneficiary), computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to (A) the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in effect on such day times
(B) the Stated Amount of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit on such day. The foregoing fees
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each June, September, December
and March and on each Adjustment Date as set forth in Section 2.10 and on the Revolving Facility
Termination Date. Such fees shall be payable to the Global Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders.

               (ii) The Company agrees to pay a fee in respect of each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit
issued hereunder that is a Commercial Letter of Credit in an amount equal to (A) one-half of the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in effect on the date of issuance
times (B) the Stated Amount of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit. The foregoing
fees shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other date as is
agreed to by the Global Agent and the applicable LC Issuer, but in any case not later than the
expiry date of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit), to the applicable LC Issuer for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders based on each Lender’s Funding Percentage in effect on the date of
issuance.

               (iii) Fees under this Section 2.14(c) accrued with respect to a Defaulting Lender during the
period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not
be payable by the Company so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent
that such fees shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Company prior to such time; and
provided further that no such fees shall accrue with respect to a Defaulting Lender so long as such
Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

          (d) LC Fees for Canadian Facility Letters of Credit.

               (i) The Canadian Borrowers agree to pay a fee in respect of each Canadian Letter of Credit
issued hereunder that is a Standby Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance of
such Canadian Letter of Credit until the expiration date thereof (including any extensions of such
expiration date that may be made at the election of the account party or the beneficiary), computed
for each day at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are
Eurodollar Loans in effect on the date of issuance (or any increase in the amount, or renewal or
extension) thereof times (B) the Stated Amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit on such
day. The foregoing fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
June, September, December and March and on each Adjustment Date as set forth in Section 2.10 and on
the Revolving Facility Termination Date. Such fees shall be payable to the Canadian Administrative
Branch of the Global Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Canadian Lenders.

               (ii) The Canadian Borrowers agree to pay a fee in respect of each Canadian Letter of Credit
issued hereunder that is a Commercial Letter of Credit in an amount equal to (A) one-half of the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in effect on the date of issuance
times (B) the Stated Amount of such Canadian Letter of Credit. The foregoing fees shall be
payable on the date of issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit (or such other date as is agreed
to by the Global Agent and the applicable LC Issuer, but in any case

77

 

not later than the expiry date of such Canadian Letter of Credit), to the applicable LC Issuer
for the ratable benefit of the Canadian Lenders based on each Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment
Percentage in effect on the date of issuance.

               (iii) Fees under this Section 2.14(d) accrued with respect to a Defaulting Lender during the
period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not
be payable by the Company so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent
that such fees shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Company prior to such time; and
provided further that no such fees shall accrue with respect to a Defaulting Lender so long as such
Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

          (e) Fronting Fees.

               (i) The Company agrees to pay directly to each LC Issuer, for its own account, a fronting fee
equal to 0.10% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed)
which fees shall be computed on the daily average Revolving Facility LC Outstandings and shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March
following issuance of each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and on each Adjustment Date as set
forth in Section 2.10 and on the Revolving Facility Termination Date.

               (ii) The Canadian Borrowers agree to pay directly to each LC Issuer, for its own account, a
fronting fee equal to 0.10% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days
elapsed) which fees shall be computed on the daily average Canadian LC Outstandings and shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March
following issuance of each Canadian Letter of Credit and on each Adjustment Date as set forth in
Section 2.10 and on the Canadian Facility Termination Date.

          (f) Additional Charges of LC Issuer. The Company and each other Borrower and LC
Obligor, as applicable, agree to pay directly to each LC Issuer upon each LC Issuance, drawing
under, or amendment, extension, renewal or transfer of, a Letter of Credit issued by it such amount
as shall at the time of such LC Issuance, drawing, amendment, extension, renewal or transfer be the
processing charge, fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit
that such LC Issuer is customarily charging for issuances of, drawings under or maintenance,
negotiation, administration, amendments, extensions, renewals or transfers of, letters of credit
issued by it.

          (g) Global Agent Fees. The Company shall pay to the Global Agent, on the Closing Date
and thereafter, for its own account, the fees payable to the Global Agent set forth in the Fee
Letter.

          (h) Computations of Fees. Except for the computation of Commitment Fees which shall
be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, all
computations of LC Fees and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed
over a year of 360 days.

78

 

     Section 2.15 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

          (a) Mandatory Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated pursuant to
Article VIII, all of the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility
Termination Date.

          (b) Voluntary Termination of the Commitments. Upon at least three (3) Business Days’
prior irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Global Agent at
its Notice Office (which notice the Global Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders),
the Company shall have the right to terminate in whole the Commitments, provided that (i) all
outstanding Loans and Unpaid Drawings are contemporaneously prepaid in accordance with
Section 2.16, (ii) either there are no outstanding Letters of Credit or the Company shall
contemporaneously cause all outstanding Letters of Credit to be surrendered for cancellation (any
such Letters of Credit to be replaced by letters of credit issued by other financial institutions
acceptable to each LC Issuer and the Required Lenders), and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing,
such a notice may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities,
in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company by written notice to the Global Agent at
the Notice Office on or prior to the specified effective date stating that such condition has not
been satisfied, subject, however, to the Company’s payment of any breakage compensation or other
costs associated with such revoked notice pursuant to this Section, in each case in accordance with
Article III.

          (c) Partial Reduction of Commitments. Upon at least five Business Days’ prior
irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Global Agent at its
Notice Office (which notice the Global Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the
Company shall have the right to partially and permanently reduce the Unutilized Total Commitment;
provided, however, that (A) any such reduction shall apply to proportionately (based on each
Lender’s Fixed Commitment Percentage) and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each
Lender and the Canadian Commitment of each Canadian Lender, (B) such reduction of the Revolving
Commitment shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Facility LC
Commitment Amount and the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, but only to the extent that the
Unutilized Total Revolving Commitment would be reduced below any such limits, (C) no such reduction
shall be permitted if any Borrower would be required to make a mandatory prepayment of Loans or
cash collateralize Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16, unless such reduction is made
contemporaneously with a prepayment or cash collateralization required pursuant to Section 2.16,
and (D) any partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 (or, if greater, in
integral multiples of $1,000,000).

     Section 2.16 Payments and Prepayments of Loans.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay any of the
Loans owing by it, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as specified in
subparts (d) and (g) below), from time to time. The Borrower making such prepayment shall give the
Global Agent at the Notice Office written or telephonic notice (in the case of telephonic notice,
promptly confirmed in writing if so requested by the Global Agent) of its intent to prepay the
Loans, the amount of such prepayment and (in the case of Fixed Rate Loans) the specific
Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be received by the Global Agent by (x)

79

 

11:00 A.M. (local time at the Notice Office) three Business Days prior to the date of such
prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans, or (y) 11:00 A.M. (local time at the
Notice Office) one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment, in the case of any prepayment
of Base Rate Loans, and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Global Agent to each of
the affected Lenders; provided, however, that (i) in the case of prepayment of any Borrowings, each
partial prepayment of any such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal of at least $2,500,000
(or, if less, the full amount of such Borrowing) or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, or an integral
multiple of $500,000 or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in excess thereof; (ii) no partial prepayment
of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of such Loans
outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount
applicable thereto; and (iii) each prepayment in respect of any Loans shall, unless otherwise
specified by the applicable Borrower, be applied to repay such Loans in accordance with
Section 2.17(b). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Global Agent may,
with respect to notices by the Borrowers for voluntary prepayments of less than the full amount of
a Revolving Borrowing of Foreign Currency Loans, engage in reasonable rounding of the applicable
Designated Foreign Currency amounts to be repaid, and the Borrowers’ notice shall thereby be deemed
to reflect such rounded amounts

          (b) Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender or LC Issuer (i) gives notice
under Section 3.01, (ii) requests compensation under Section 3.02, or requires any Borrower to pay
any additional amount to any Lender, LC Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to Section 3.03, (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to
the control of a Governmental Authority (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a
Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.11, then in any such event the Borrowers may, at
their sole expense, upon notice to such Lender or LC Issuer and the Global Agent, require such
Lender or LC Issuer to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.05), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that
shall assume such obligations, provided that:

                    (A) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Global Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 11.05;

                    (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans, Revolving Facility LC Participations, Canadian LC Participations and Swing Loan
Participations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.04) from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

                    (C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.02(a) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.03, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

                    (D) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

80

 

Solely with respect to circumstances described in Section 2.16(b)(i) through 2.16(b)(iii), a Lender
or LC Issuer shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender, LC Issuer or otherwise, such circumstances entitling the
Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.16
or in any other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the
Borrowers may have against any Defaulting Lender.

          (c) Mandatory Payments. The Loans shall be subject to mandatory repayment or
prepayment, and the Revolving LC Outstandings and Canadian LC Outstandings shall be subject to cash
collateralization requirements, in accordance with the following provisions:

               (i) Maturity. Unless Continued or Converted in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the principal amount of each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable by the applicable Borrower
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan. The entire principal
amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing by each Borrower shall be repaid in full on the
Revolving Facility Termination Date.

               (ii) Adjustment Dates. The Borrowers shall repay the principal amount of the
Revolving Loans required to be paid by each of them on any Adjustment Date in accordance with
Section 2.10.

               (iii) Loans Exceed the Commitments. If on any date (after giving effect to any other
payments on such date) (A) the Revolving Facility Exposure of any Lender exceeds such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Revolving
Commitment, (C) the Foreign Currency Exposure exceeds the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount by five
percent (5%) or more under any calculation pursuant to Section 1.05, (D) the Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower Exposure exceeds the Maximum Foreign Exposure Amount, (E) the Canadian Sub-Facility
Exposure of any Canadian Lender exceeds such Canadian Lender’s Canadian Commitment by five percent
(5%) or more under any calculation pursuant to Section 1.05, (F) the Aggregate Canadian
Sub-Facility Exposure exceeds the Total Canadian Commitment by five percent (5%) or more under any
calculation pursuant to Section 1.05, or (G) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans
outstanding exceeds the Swing Line Commitment, then, in the case of each of the foregoing, the
applicable Borrower or the Company shall prepay on such date the principal amount of Loans and,
after Loans have been paid in full, Unpaid Drawings, in an aggregate amount at least equal to such
excess and conforming in the case of partial prepayments of Loans to the requirements as to the
amounts of partial prepayments of Loans that are contained in subpart (a) above.

               (iv) Revolving Facility LC Outstandings Exceed Commitment. If on any date (A) the
Revolving Facility LC Outstandings exceed the Revolving Facility LC Commitment Amount, or (B) the
Canadian LC Outstandings exceed the Canadian LC Commitment Amount, in each case as then in effect
by five percent (5%) or more under any calculation pursuant to
Section 1.05, then the
applicable LC Obligor or the Company shall pay to the Global Agent or the Canadian Administrative
Branch of the Global Agent, as appropriate, an amount in cash equal to such excess and the Global
Agent shall hold such payment as security for the reimbursement obligations of the applicable LC
Obligors hereunder in respect of Revolving Facility Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of
Credit, as the case may be, pursuant

81

 

to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Company (which shall permit certain
investments in Cash Equivalents satisfactory to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Company
until the proceeds are applied to the secured obligations).

               (v) Certain Proceeds of Indebtedness. Not later than the Business Day following the
date of the receipt by any Credit Party of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions, placement agent fees and other reasonable and customary fees and costs associated
therewith) in excess of $5,000,000 from any sale or issuance of any Indebtedness (other than any
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to any of Section 7.04(a) through (m), (o) and (p)) after the
Closing Date, the Company will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such
net proceeds in excess of such amount in accordance with Section 2.16(d) below.

               (vi) Certain Proceeds of Asset Sales. If during any fiscal year of the Company, the
Company or any other Domestic Credit Party receives cumulative Net Cash Proceeds during such fiscal
year from one or more Asset Sales described in Section 7.02(e)(i) or Section 7.02(f) aggregating
$10,000,000 or more for such fiscal year, not later than the Business Day following the date of
receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of such amount, the Company will make a prepayment of the
Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such amount in
accordance with Section 2.16(d) below; provided, that (A) if no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, and (B) the Company notifies the Global Agent of the amount and
nature thereof and of its intention to reinvest all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
assets used or useful in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during such 360 day
period, then no such prepayment shall be required to the extent of the amount of such Net Cash
Proceeds as to which the Company so indicates such reinvestment will take place. If at the end of
any such 360 day period any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $500,000 has not been so
reinvested, the Company will immediately make a prepayment of the Loans, as provided above.

               (vii) Certain Proceeds of an Event of Loss. If during any fiscal year of the Company,
the Company or any other Domestic Credit Party receives cumulative Net Cash Proceeds during such
fiscal year from one or more Events of Loss aggregating $10,000,000 or more for such fiscal year,
not later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of
such amount, the Company will make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net
Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such amount from any Event of Loss in accordance with
Section 2.16(d) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any property suffers an Event
of Loss and (A) the Net Cash Proceeds received in any fiscal year as a result of such Event of Loss
are less than $5,000,000, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and
(C) the Company notifies the Global Agent and the Lenders in writing that it intends to rebuild or
restore the affected property, that such rebuilding or restoration can be accomplished within 360
days out of such Net Cash Proceeds and other funds available to the Company, then no such
prepayment of the Loans shall be required. Any amounts in excess of $500,000 not so applied to the
costs of rebuilding or restoration or as provided in Section 8.03 shall be applied to the
prepayment of the Loans as provided above.

82

 

          (d) Applications of Certain Prepayment Proceeds. Subject to Section 2.16(e) below,
each prepayment required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.16(c)(v), (vi), or (vii) above shall be
applied as a mandatory prepayment of principal of first, the outstanding Swing Loans, and second,
the outstanding Revolving Loans.

          (e) Reserved.

          (f) Particular Loans to be Prepaid. With respect to each repayment or prepayment of
Loans required by this Section, the Borrower making such repayment or prepayment shall designate
the Types of Loans that are to be repaid or prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which
such repayment or prepayment is to be made; provided, however, that (i) such Borrower shall first
so designate all Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Fixed Rate Loans with Interest Periods ending
on the date of repayment or prepayment prior to designating any other Fixed Rate Loans for
repayment or prepayment, (ii) if the outstanding principal amount of Fixed Rate Loans made pursuant
to a Borrowing is reduced below the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of any such
repayment or prepayment, then all the Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall, in the
case of Eurodollar Loans or CDOR Loans, be Converted into Base Rate Loans and, in the case of
Foreign Currency Loans, be repaid in full, and (iii) each repayment and prepayment of any Loans
made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.17(b). In the absence
of a designation by a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Global Agent shall,
subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation,
to minimize breakage costs owing under Article III.

          (g) Breakage and Other Compensation. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section
shall be accompanied by any amounts payable in respect thereof under Article III. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under Section 2.16 shall be in
excess of the amount of the Base Rate Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”),
only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding
Base Rate Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the Company, the balance of
such required prepayment shall be either (A) deposited in a collateral account held at the Global
Agent and applied to the prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring
Interest Period for Fixed Rate Loans, provided that (i) interest in respect of such Excess Amount
shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess
Amount is intended to repay until such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such
Loans and (ii) at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Global
Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds
then on deposit in such collateral account to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such
Excess Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under
Article III.

     Section 2.17 Method and Place of Payment.

          (a) Generally. All payments made by any Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any
other Loan Document, shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

83

 

          (b) Application of Payments. Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, (i) all payments and prepayments of Loans (other than Swing
Loans) and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit shall be applied by the Global Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Lenders entitled thereto (based on each such Lender’s Payment
Sharing Percentage at the time of such payment) to pay or prepay such Loans or Unpaid Drawings,
(ii) all payments or prepayments of Swing Loans and payments of interest thereon shall be applied
to pay or prepay such Swing Loans and unpaid interest thereon, (iii) all payments of Fees shall be
applied as set forth in Section 2.14, and (iv) with respect to any other amounts, such amounts
shall be distributed by the Global Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (c) Payment of Obligations. Except as set forth in subpart (d) below, all payments
under this Agreement with respect to any of the Obligations shall be made to the Global Agent on
the date when due and shall be made at the Payment Office in immediately available funds and,
except as set forth in the next sentence, shall be made in Dollars. With respect to any Foreign
Currency Loan, all payments (including prepayments) to any Lender of the principal of or interest
on such Foreign Currency Loan shall be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency as the original
Loan and with respect to any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit issued in a Designated Foreign
Currency, all Unpaid Drawings with respect to each such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall
be made in the same Designated Foreign Currency in which each such Revolving Facility Letter of
Credit was issued, unless the applicable LC Issuer agrees otherwise; provided, however, that if it
is impossible or illegal for any Borrower to effect payment of a Loan in the Designated Foreign
Currency in which such Loan was made, or if any Borrower defaults in its obligation to do so, the
Global Agent may at its option (and shall, in the case of such impossibility or illegality) permit
such payment to be made (i) at and to a different location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent
of the Global Agent, or (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (iii) in an Equivalent Amount
of such other currency (freely convertible into Dollars) as the Global Agent may solely at its
option designate. Upon any events described in (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, the
Borrowers shall make such payment and the Borrowers agree to hold each Lender harmless from and
against any loss incurred by any Lender arising from the cost to such Lender of any premium, any
costs of exchange, the cost of hedging and covering the Designated Foreign Currency in which such
Loan was originally made, and from any change in the value of Dollars, or such other currency, in
relation to the Designated Foreign Currency that was due and owing. Such loss shall be calculated
for the period commencing with the first day of the Interest Period for such Loan and continuing
through the date of payment thereof. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
the hereunder, the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 2.17(c) shall survive termination of
this Agreement.

          (d) Canadian Obligations. All payments under this Agreement with respect to the
Canadian Obligations shall be made to the Canadian Administrative Branch of the Global Agent not
later than 11:00 A.M. (local time at the Canadian Payment Office) on the date when due and shall be
made at the Canadian Payment Office in immediately available funds and in Canadian Dollars.

          (e) Timing of Payments. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than
11:00 A.M. (local time at the Payment Office or the Canadian Payment Office, as the

84

 

case may be) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to
payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in
effect immediately prior to such extension.

          (f) Distribution to Lenders. Upon the Global Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder,
the Global Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the applicable LC Issuer, as the
case may be, its ratable share (as determined in accordance with subpart (b) above), if any, of the
amount of principal, interest, and Fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments
received by the Global Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable LC
Issuer, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Payments received by the
Global Agent in any Designated Foreign Currency shall be delivered to the Lenders or the applicable
LC Issuer, as the case may be, in such Designated Foreign Currency in same day funds; provided,
however, that if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Global Agent
to pay fully all amounts of principal, Unpaid Drawings, interest and Fees then due hereunder then,
except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to Section 8.03, 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 and Unpaid Drawings then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
and Unpaid Drawings then due to such parties.

     Section 2.18 Authority of Company; Liability of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

          (a) Authority of the Company. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints the Company as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Company to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers (including,
but not limited to, requesting a Loan or Letter of Credit for such Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers
hereunder) and perform such duties as such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower could exercise on its own
(which the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, do), together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, with all such actions by the Company that purport to be on behalf of
any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower being sufficient, without any further action or authorization by
such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, to bind such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower. The Global Agent, the
Lenders and each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely upon all statements, certificates, notices,
consents, affidavits, letters, cablegrams, telegrams, facsimile transmissions, electronic
transmissions, e-mails, telex or teletype messages, orders or other documents or conversations
furnished or made by the Company pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents, as being made or furnished on behalf of, and with the effect of irrevocably binding,
each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, without any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the authority
of the Company in so doing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Global Agent, the Lenders and each
LC Issuer may also rely on or act in accordance with directions or instructions coming directly
from any such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower.

85

 

          (b) Foreign Revolving Facility Borrowers. The parties intend that this Agreement
shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide that each Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower
is liable only for Loans made to such Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower, interest on such Loans,
such Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any Revolving
Facility Letter of Credit issued for its account and its ratable share of any of the other
Obligations, including, without limitation, general fees, reimbursements and charges hereunder and
under any other Loan Document that are attributable to it. The liability of any Foreign Revolving
Facility Borrower for the payment of any of the Obligations or the performance of its covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
several from but not joint with the Obligations of any other Borrower. Nothing in this Section is
intended to limit, nor shall it be deemed to limit, any of the liability of the Company for any of
the Obligations, whether in its primary capacity as a Borrower, pursuant to its guaranty
obligations set forth in Article X, at law or otherwise.

          (c) Canadian Borrowers. To the extent permitted by law, each Canadian Borrower is and
shall at all times be fully liable, jointly and severally, for all of the Canadian Revolving Loans
made hereunder and for all of the other Canadian Obligations. Each Canadian Borrower agrees that
it is receiving or will receive a direct pecuniary benefit for each Canadian Revolving Loan made
hereunder and each Canadian Letter of Credit issued hereunder. Each request by any of the Canadian
Borrowers for a Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of any Canadian Revolving Loan or for any
Canadian LC Request shall be deemed to be a joint and several request by all of the Canadian
Borrowers. Each Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes any other Canadian Borrower to request a
Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of a Canadian Revolving Loan or a Canadian LC Request
hereunder.

     Section 2.19 Eligibility and Addition/Release of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

          (a) No Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers as of the Closing Date. The parties hereto
acknowledge that there are no Foreign Revolving Facility Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers as of the
Closing Date and, as such, no Foreign Subsidiary of the Company shall be permitted to request or
receive the proceeds of any Borrowing nor shall any Letter of Credit be issued for its account.

          (b) Eligibility of Foreign Subsidiaries. At the request of the Company, a Foreign
Subsidiary of the Company may become a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, provided that (i)
only a Foreign Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof may
become a Canadian Borrower and no Foreign Subsidiary organized under the laws of Canada or any
Province thereof may become a Foreign Revolving Facility Borrower; (ii) prior to becoming a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower, the Company has provided to the Global Agent a written request signed by the
Company and such Foreign Subsidiary, that such Foreign Subsidiary be designated as a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) such Foreign Subsidiary shall be
a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company; (iv) the Company and such Foreign Subsidiary shall have
satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02; (v) the addition of such Foreign
Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder shall not result in withholding tax liability

Lender hereunder; and (vi) at the time of the request by the Company that such Foreign Subsidiary
be

86

 

added as Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and after giving effect to the addition of such Foreign
Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or begin to
exist.

          (c) Notification to Lenders. Upon satisfaction by the Company and any Foreign
Subsidiary of the requirements set forth in subpart (b) above, and the Global Agent’s satisfaction
that the addition of such Foreign Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is
appropriately documented pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Global Agent
shall promptly notify the Company, such Foreign Subsidiary and the Lenders thereof, and shall
notify the Lenders whether such Foreign Subsidiary is a Canadian Borrower or Foreign Revolving
Facility Borrower, whereupon such Foreign Subsidiary shall be designated a “Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower” pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such Foreign Subsidiary shall
become bound by all representations, warranties, covenants, provisions and conditions of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document applicable to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers as if such
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower had been the original party making such representations, warranties and
covenants.

          (d) Release of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers. Upon written request of the Company and
any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may be released as a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, so long as (i) such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower does not have any
Credit Facility Exposure owing to any Lender at such time and has paid all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees and other amounts due by or from such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, if
any, owing by it, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or immediately thereafter
shall begin to exist. No such release shall be effective until confirmed by the Global Agent to
the Company, such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and the Lenders in writing (which the Collateral
Agent agrees to promptly do upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this subpart). The
Lenders hereby authorize the Global Agent to release such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this subpart and agree that the Global Agent may execute and
deliver such documents or agreements as the Global Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate in
connection therewith. No release of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall affect the Company’s
obligations under Article X of this Agreement or any other Credit Party’s obligations under the
Subsidiary Guaranty.

     Section 2.20 Collateral and Collateral Release Date.

     At all times on and after the Closing Date, unless and until released in accordance with this
Section, all of the Obligations of the Credit Parties shall be secured by the Collateral on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Security Documents. Upon the written request of the Company
to the Global Agent and the Collateral Agent at any time after the Company has achieved an
Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Ratings Agencies on or after the Closing Date, the
Collateral Agent shall release and terminate all of the Liens granted to it pursuant to the
Security Documents so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or immediately thereafter would
exist. In connection with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s expense,
prepare and file all necessary termination statements and releases terminating and releasing the
Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and shall return to the
Company all share certificates or other Collateral held by the Collateral Agent and transfer
documents relating thereto. The Lenders hereby authorize the

87

 

Global Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver such documents or agreements as
the Global Agent or the Collateral Agent deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the
foregoing. The release of the Collateral pursuant to this Section shall not be effective until the
date (the “Collateral Release Date”) that (i) the Collateral Agent has filed all
termination statements and releases, deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which the
Collateral Agent shall promptly do upon satisfaction by the Company of the conditions set forth in
this Section, and (ii) the Global Agent has provided notice of the same to the Lenders, which
notice the Global Agent shall promptly provide upon the satisfaction by the Company of the
conditions set forth in this Section.

     Section 2.21 Liability of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers.

     The parties intend that this Agreement shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide
that each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is liable only for Loans made to such Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, interest on such Loans, such Foreign Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to
any Letter of Credit issued for its account and its ratable share of any of the other Obligations,
including, without limitation, general fees, reimbursements and charges hereunder and under any
other Loan Document that are attributable to it. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit, nor
shall it be deemed to limit, any of the liability of the Company for any of the Obligations,
whether in its primary capacity as a Borrower, pursuant to its guaranty obligations set forth in
Article X, at law or otherwise.

     ARTICLE III  —  TAXES, INCREASED COSTS AND ILLEGALITY

     Section 3.01 Interest Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
Available.

          (a) Unascertainable. If on any date on which any interest rate applicable to any
Fixed Rate Loan would otherwise be determined, the Global Agent shall have determined that:

               (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such interest rate, or

               (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank
eurodollar market or the Canadian commercial banking market relating to such interest rate, the
Global Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.01(c).

          (b) Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender
shall have determined that:

               (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Fixed Rate Loan has been made impracticable or
unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such
Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of Law), or

88

 

               (ii) the interest rate applicable to a Fixed Rate Loan will not adequately and fairly reflect
such Lender’s actual cost of funds (not the return) for the establishment or maintenance of any
such Loan, or

               (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the
relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which the interest rate applicable
to any Fixed Rate Loan applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such
Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market or the Canadian commercial banking
market, as applicable,

then the Global Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.01(c).

          (c) Global Agent’s and Lenders’ Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section
3.01(a) above, the Global Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the applicable Borrower
thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.01(b) above, such Lender shall promptly
so notify the Global Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific
circumstances of such notice, and the Global Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and
certificate to the other Lenders and the applicable Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified
in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of
(A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Global Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the
case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the applicable Borrower to select, convert to or
renew the applicable interest rate shall be suspended until the Global Agent shall have later
notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Global Agent, of the Global
Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to
such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Global Agent makes a determination
under Section 3.01(a) and the Borrower has previously notified the Global Agent of its selection
of, conversion to or renewal of such interest rate and such interest rate has not yet gone into
effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of
the Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate, as applicable, otherwise available with respect to such
Loans. If any Lender notifies the Global Agent of a determination under Section 3.01(b), the
applicable Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section
3.04, as to any Fixed Rate Loan of the Lender on the date specified in such notice either convert
such Loan to the Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate, as applicable, otherwise available with
respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 2.16. Absent due notice from
the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base
Rate or the Canadian Base Rate, as applicable, otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon
such specified date.

     Section 3.02 Increased Costs.

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

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

89

 

               (ii) subject any Lender or any LC Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Fixed Rate
Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or any LC Issuer in
respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.03 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or any LC
Issuer); or

               (iii) impose on any Lender, any LC Issuer, the London interbank market or the Canadian
commercial banking market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any
Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

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

          (c) Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New
Loans. A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
Sections 3.02(a) or 3.02(b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as
due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

          (d) Delay in Requests. Promptly after any Lender or LC Issuer has determined that it
will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 3.02,

90

 

such Lender or LC Issuer shall notify the Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of
any Lender or any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that
such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

     Section 3.03 Taxes.

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

          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.03(a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

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

          (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to
the Global 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 Global Agent.

91

 

          (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident
for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to
the Global Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
applicable Borrower or the Global Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a
reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Global Agent shall be entitled to
withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable
judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding
agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations. Further, the Global Agent
is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims
and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it
deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Global Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Global
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Global Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

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

               (i) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

               (ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

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

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

92

 

               (v) to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to the
Global Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by applicable Law
demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender.

          (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Global Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer
determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any taxes in
respect of or calculated with reference to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.03, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section
3.03 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Global Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer (including any Taxes
imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Global Agent, any Lender or any LC
Issuer in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid
by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable
Borrower, upon the request of the Global Agent, such Lender or the LC Issuer, agrees to repay as
soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Global Agent, such Lender
or such LC Issuer in the event the Global Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the
Global Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other
Person.

     Section 3.04 Indemnity.

          In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 3.02 or Section 3.03, the
Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss
of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the
liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign
exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

          (a) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Fixed Rate Loan on a day other than the
last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is
mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

          (b) attempt by any Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise)
in whole or part any loan requests or notices of Conversion or Continuation under this Agreement
including Sections 2.6, 2.8, or 2.13, notices relating to termination of the Commitments under this
Agreement including Section 2.15(b), or notices relating to prepayments under this Agreement
including Section 2.16, or

          (c) default by any Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any

93

 

failure of any Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal,
interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

          If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify
the applicable Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination
may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution
methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such
loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the applicable Borrower to such Lender ten
(10) Business Days after such notice is given.

     Section 3.05 Mitigation Obligations.

     If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.03, 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 reasonable judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.02 or 3.03, as applicable, 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 in any
respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

ARTICLE V  —  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     In order to induce the Global Agent, the Lenders and each LC Issuer to enter into this
Agreement and to make the Loans and to issue and to participate in the Letters of Credit provided
for herein, the Company and, if applicable, each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (as to itself only)
makes the following representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Global Agent, the
Lenders and each LC Issuer, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and each Credit Event:

     Section 5.01 Corporate Status, etc.

     The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is a duly organized or formed and validly
existing corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation (except where failure to be in good
standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect) and has the corporate, partnership or limited
liability company power and authority, as applicable, to own its property and assets and to
transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage, and (ii) has duly
qualified and is authorized to do business in all jurisdictions where it is required to be so
qualified or authorized except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Schedule 5.01 lists, as of the Closing Date, each Subsidiary of the
Company (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Company therein).

     Section 5.02 Corporate Power and Authority, etc.

     Each Credit Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute,
deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is party and has
taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is party. Each Credit Party has duly executed
and delivered each Loan Document to which it is party and each Loan Document to which it is party
constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of such Credit Party enforceable
in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally
affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is
sought in equity or at law).

100

 

     Section 5.03 No Violation.

     Neither the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of the Loan Documents to
which it is party nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any
provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any
Governmental Authority applicable to such Credit Party or its properties and assets, (ii) will
conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of,
or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to
create or impose) any Lien (other than the Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents) upon
any of the property or assets of such Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any promissory note,
bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other
agreement or other instrument, to which such Credit Party is a party or by which it or any of its
property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject, or (iii) will violate any provision of
the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party.

     Section 5.04 Governmental Approvals.

     No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or
registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize or is
required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by any Credit Party of any
Loan Document to which it is a party or any of its obligations thereunder, or (ii) the legality,
validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a
party, except the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents necessary in
order to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents and those consents and approvals that
will have been obtained at the time any Subsidiary becomes a Borrower hereunder.

     Section 5.05 Litigation.

     There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower,
threatened with respect to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (i) that have had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that question the validity or
enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or of any action to be taken by the Company or any of
the other Credit Parties pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

     Section 5.06 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

          (a) The proceeds of all Loans and LC Issuances shall be utilized to refinance the Existing
Credit Agreement and to provide working capital and funds for general corporate purposes (including
without limitation for Permitted Acquisitions, Share Repurchases and the World Headquarters
Initiative) and capital expenditures, in each case, not inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement.

          (b) No part of the proceeds of any Credit Event will be used directly or indirectly to
purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No Borrower is engaged in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more
than 25% of the value of the assets of the Company or of the Company and

101

 

its consolidated Subsidiaries that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in
Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock.

     Section 5.07 Financial Statements, etc.

          (a) The Company has furnished to the Global Agent and the Lenders complete and correct copies
of the audited consolidated statements of financial position (balance sheets) of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2010 and the related audited consolidated
statements of operation (income statements), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company
and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the Company then ended, accompanied by the
report thereon of Ernst & Young LLP, as included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with
the SEC. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the financial position of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated and the consolidated results of
their operations and cash flows for the respective periods indicated. The Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries did not have, as of the date of the latest financial statements referred
to above, and will not have as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans
or LC Issuances hereunder, any material or significant contingent liability or liability for taxes,
long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the foregoing
financial statements or the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP and that in any such case is
material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, financial or other condition
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

          (b) The financial projections of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2011
through 2015 prepared by the Company and delivered to the Global Agent and the Lenders (the
“Financial Projections”) were prepared on behalf of the Company in good faith after taking
into account historical levels of business activity of the Company and its Subsidiaries, known
trends, including general economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates
considered by management of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be pertinent thereto; provided,
however, that no representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic
conditions or as to whether the Company’s projected consolidated results as set forth in the
Financial Projections will actually be realized, it being recognized by the Lenders that such
projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results for the
periods covered by the Financial Projections may differ materially from the Financial Projections.
No facts are known to the Company as of the Closing Date which are not reflected in the Financial
Projections and if reflected in the Financial Projections would result in a material adverse change
in the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows reflected therein.

     Section 5.08 Solvency.

     Each Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the
obligations and liabilities that such Borrower has incurred to the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and
the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower now has capital sufficient to carry on its
business and transactions and all business and transactions in which it is about to engage and is
now solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature and such Borrower, as of the Closing

102

 

Date or as of the date such Borrower became a “Borrower” hereunder, owns property having a
value, both at fair valuation and at present fair salable value, greater than the amount required
to pay such Borrower’s debts; and no Borrower is entering into the Loan Documents with the intent
to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. For purposes of this Section, “debt” means any
liability on a claim, and “claim” means (x) right to payment whether or not such a right is reduced
to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed,
legal, equitable, secured or unsecured; or (y) right to an equitable remedy for breach of
performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable
remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured
or unsecured.

     Section 5.09 No Material Adverse Change.

     Since February 28, 2010, there has been no change in the condition, business or affairs of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or their properties and assets considered as an
entirety, except for changes none of which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.10 Tax Returns and Payments.

     The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal income tax returns and all
other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all
material taxes and assessments payable by it that have become due, other than those not yet
delinquent and except for those contested in good faith. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries
have established on their books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by GAAP.
No Borrower knows of any proposed assessment for additional federal, foreign or state taxes for any
period, or of any basis therefor, which, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such
charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as the Company and its Subsidiaries have made,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.11 Title to Properties, etc.

     The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title, in the case of Real
Property, and good title (or valid Leaseholds, in the case of any leased property, or valid
licenses, in the case of any licensed property), in the case of all other property, to all of its
properties and assets free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens. The interests of the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries in the properties reflected in the most recent balance sheet
referred to in Section 5.07(a), taken as a whole, were sufficient, in the judgment of each
Borrower, as of the date of such balance sheet for purposes of the ownership and operation of the
businesses conducted by the Borrowers and such Subsidiaries.

     Section 5.12 Lawful Operations, etc.

     The Company and each of its Subsidiaries: (i) hold all necessary foreign, federal, state,
local and other governmental licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and authorizations
necessary to conduct their business; and (ii) are in full compliance with all material requirements
imposed by law, regulation or rule, whether foreign, federal, state or local, that are applicable
to

103

 

it, its operations, or their properties and assets, including without limitation, applicable
requirements of Environmental Laws, except in each case for any failure to hold such governmental
licenses, registrations, certifications, permits and/or authorizations, or noncompliance with any
such law, regulation or rule, that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.13 Environmental Matters.

          (a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any
resulting penalties, fines or forfeitures) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. All licenses, permits, registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the
business of the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been
secured and the Borrowers and each of their Subsidiaries are in substantial compliance therewith,
except for such licenses, permits, registrations or approvals the failure to secure or to comply
therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in
noncompliance with, breach of or default under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or
decree to which the Company or such Subsidiary is a party or that would affect the ability of the
Company or such Subsidiary to operate any Real Property and no event has occurred and is continuing
that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute noncompliance,
breach of or default thereunder, except in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults
as would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. There
are no Environmental Claims pending or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower, threatened wherein
an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property now or
at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or on any
property adjacent to any such Real Property, that are known by any such Borrower or as to which any
Borrower or any such Subsidiary has received written notice, that could reasonably be expected: (i)
to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) to cause such Real Property to be
subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real
Property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case, such Environmental Claims or
restrictions that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Hazardous Materials have not at any time been (i) generated, used, treated or stored on,
or transported to or from, any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii)
released on any such Real Property, in each case where such occurrence or event is not in
compliance with Environmental Laws and is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.14 Compliance with ERISA.

     Compliance by the Borrowers with the provisions hereof and Credit Events contemplated hereby
will not involve any prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975

104

 

of the Code which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) have fulfilled all obligations under minimum funding
standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a
Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) have satisfied all respective contribution obligations in respect of
each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, (iii) are in compliance in all material
respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, each
Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, and (iv) have not incurred any liability
(contingent or otherwise) under Title IV of ERISA to the PBGC (or otherwise) with respect to any
Plan, any Multiemployer Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust established thereunder,
except, in each case under clauses (i) through (iv) above, where the failure to do so could
reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there have been no Reportable Events,
with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiemployer Plan or
Multiple Employer Plan, which termination or Reportable Event will or could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date
hereof, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the date hereof, an employer
required to contribute to a Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is
defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in Multiple Employer Plan. Neither the Company nor any ERISA
Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan”
(as such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed to the Global Agent and the Lenders
in writing.

     Section 5.15 Investment Company Act, etc.

     Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation with respect to the
creation or incurrence of Indebtedness under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the
Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, the Federal Power Act, as amended, or any applicable state
public utility law.

     Section 5.16 Insurance.

     The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains insurance coverage by such insurers and in
such forms and amounts and against such risks as are generally consistent with industry standards
and in each case in compliance with the terms of Section 6.03.

     Section 5.17 Burdensome Contracts; Labor Relations.

     Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is subject to any burdensome contract,
agreement, corporate restriction, judgment, decree or order, (ii) is a party to any labor dispute
affecting any bargaining unit or other group of employees generally, (iii) is subject to any
material strike, slow down, workout or other concerted interruptions of operations by employees of
the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not relating to any labor contracts, (iv) is subject to
any significant pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, unfair labor practice
complaint, before the National Labor Relations Board, (v) is subject to any significant pending or,
to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, grievance or significant arbitration proceeding
arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement, (vi) is subject to any significant
pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, significant strike, labor

105

 

dispute, slowdown or stoppage, or (vii) is, to the knowledge of any Borrower, involved or
subject to any union representation organizing or certification matter with respect to the
employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except (with respect to any matter specified
in any of the above clauses), for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.18 Security Interests.

     Once executed and delivered, and until the Collateral Release Date or otherwise terminated in
accordance with the terms thereof, each of the Security Documents creates, as security for the
Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), a valid and enforceable, and upon making the
filings and recordings referenced in the next sentence, perfected security interest in and Lien on
all of the Collateral subject thereto from time to time, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement), superior to and prior to the
rights of all third persons and subject to no other Liens, except that the Collateral under the
Security Documents may be subject to Permitted Liens. No filings or recordings are required in
order to perfect the security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or
recordings required in connection with (a) any such Security Document that shall have been made, or
for which satisfactory arrangements have been made, upon or prior to the execution and delivery
thereof, (b) any assets of John Sands (Australia) Ltd. or John Sands (N.Z.) Ltd. located in
Australia or New Zealand, as applicable, and (c) any assets located at offices in Hong Kong,
Mexico, the People’s Republic of China and such other foreign jurisdictions as are reasonably
acceptable to the Global Agent. All recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required
to be paid by any Person under applicable legal requirements or other laws applicable to the
property encumbered by the Security Documents in connection with the execution, delivery,
recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement thereof have been paid.

     Section 5.19 True and Complete Disclosure.

     All factual information (taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on
behalf of any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries in writing to the Global Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction
contemplated herein, other than the Financial Projections (as to which representations are made
only as provided in Section 5.07(b)), is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole)
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of such Person in writing to the Global Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which
such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact
necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading at such time in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided, except that any such future information
consisting of financial projections prepared by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is only
represented herein as being based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by such persons

Receivables Facility shall not have been terminated, (ii) a Subsidiary shall not be required to
become (or remain) a party to any of the Security Documents or to become (or remain) a Subsidiary

first tier Foreign Subsidiary of a Domestic Credit Party (or any Domestic Subsidiary described in
the first parenthetical clause of this subclause (iii)) representing no more than 65% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock or other equity interest of such Foreign Subsidiary
(or any Domestic Subsidiary described in the first parenthetical clause of this subclause (iii))
entitled to vote and having total assets greater than $5,000,000, and (iv) the stock or other
equity interest of any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall serve as security for any
of the Obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, except to the extent a pledge thereof would
(taking into account any corresponding or ancillary tax benefits or favorable tax attributes,
whether or not in the same tax regime) reasonably be expected to result in material adverse tax
consequences to the Company, as confirmed by an opinion of counsel of the applicable jurisdiction
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Global Agent.

          (c) Further Assurances. Prior to the Collateral Release Date, the Company will, and

131

 

     Section 8.04 Equalization.

          (a) Equalization Prior to Equalization Date.

               (i) Generally. Subject to subpart (b) below, if at any time any Lender receives any
amount (other than amounts that are received from a Canadian Borrower with respect to the Canadian
Obligations and are subject to subpart (a)(ii) below) hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by
realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim
or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is
applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than Swing Loans),
Revolving Facility LC Participations, Swing Line Participations or Fees (other than Fees that are
intended to be paid solely to the Global Agent or a LC Issuer and amounts payable to a Lender under
Article III), of a sum that with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in
a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender (based on
such Lender’s ratable share thereof as determined in accordance with Section 2.17, Section 8.03 or
specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) bears to the total of such Obligation then owed
and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt,
then   such Lender receiving
such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an
interest in the Obligations (other than the Canadian Obligations) to such Lenders in such amount as
shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount.

               (ii) Canadian Sub-Facility. Subject to subpart (b) below, if at any time any Canadian
Lender receives any amount hereunder from the Canadian Borrowers (whether by voluntary payment, by
realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim
or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents, or otherwise) that is
applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Canadian Loans (other than
amounts payable to a Canadian Lender under Article III) or Canadian LC Participations of a sum that
with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Canadian Lenders is in a greater
proportion than the total such Canadian Obligations then owed and due to such Canadian Lender bears
to the total of such Canadian Obligation then owed and due to all of the Canadian Lenders
immediately prior to such receipt, thensuch Lender receiving such excess payment shall
purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Canadian Lenders an interest in the
Canadian Obligations to such Canadian Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all of the Canadian Lenders in such amount.

               (iii) Recovery of Amounts. If any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to subparts (i)
or (ii) above is recovered in whole or in part from such Lender, such original purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price restored ratably to the extent of the recovery.

          (b) Equalization after Equalization Date. If at any time on or after the Equalization
Date, the Credit Facility Exposure owing to any Lender is greater than an amount equal to such
Lender’s Equalization Percentage of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure, then on such date any
of the Credit Facility Exposure not denominated in Dollars shall be converted to Dollars and each
of the other Lenders shall purchase from such Lender for cash at par an amount of the Obligations
of such Lender as shall be necessary such that the Credit Facility

132

 

Exposure owing to such Lender is equal to the amount of its Equalization Percentage of the
Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure.

          (c) Consent of Borrowers. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the
extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor
of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          (d) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the provisions of this Section shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement that
require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders, as
opposed to Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by
it pursuant to this Section, then the Global Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Global Agent
for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Global Agent under such
Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. In addition to the foregoing, any
Lender that fails at any time to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.04 shall be deemed a
Defaulting Lender until such time as it performs its obligations hereunder and is not otherwise a
Defaulting Lender for any other reason. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any
and all payments due to it from the Borrowers, whether on account of or relating to outstanding
Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining Non-Defaulting Lenders for
application to, and reduction of, their respective Equalization Percentage of the Aggregate Credit
Facility Exposure. The Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Global Agent to distribute such
payments to the Non-Defaulting Lenders in proportion to their respective Equalization Percentages
of the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure to which such Lenders are entitled. A Defaulting Lender
shall be deemed to have satisfied the provisions of this Section 8.04 when and if, as a result of
application of the assigned payments to all Equalization Percentages of the Aggregate Credit
Facility Exposure to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Lenders’ respective Equalization Percentage of
the Aggregate Credit Facility Exposure have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such
violation of this Section 8.04.

     Section 8.05 Set-Off.

     Subject to Section 2.21, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, each LC Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency)
at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender,
such LC Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party
against any and all of the Obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, such LC Issuer, or Affiliate, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender, LC Issuer, or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations of the Borrowers or such Credit Party may
be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such LC Issuer
different from the branch or office holding such deposit

133

 

or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each LC Issuer Lender and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such LC Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.
Each Lender and the LC Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Global Agent promptly after
any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application.

ARTICLE IX  —  THE GLOBAL AGENT

     Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

     Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as
the Global Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Global Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Global Agent by
the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Global Agent, the
Lenders and the LC Issuers, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of
any of such provisions.

     Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender.

     The Person serving as the Global 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 Global
Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Global Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act
as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Company, any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of any
Credit Party as if such Person were not the Global Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders.

     Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

     The Global Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Global Agent:

          (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

          (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan
Documents that the Global Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Global Agent shall not be required to
take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Global Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

134

 

          (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Company, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to
or obtained by the Person serving as the Global Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

     The Global Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Global Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.11 or 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Global Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or
Event of Default is given to the Global Agent by the Company, a Lender or a LC Issuer.

     The Global Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Global Agent.

     Section 9.04 Reliance by Global Agent.

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

135

 

     Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties.

     The Global Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
the Global Agent. The Global Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties
and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Global 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 Global
Agent.

     Section 9.06 Resignation of Global Agent.

     The Global Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC Issuers
and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have
the right, with approval from the Company (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Global Agent gives notice of its
resignation, then the retiring Global Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuers,
appoint a successor Global Agent; provided that if the Global Agent shall notify the Company, the
Lenders and the LC Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring
Global Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Global Agent on behalf of
the Lenders or the LC Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Global Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Global Agent is appointed)
and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Global Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each LC Issuer directly, until such
time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Global Agent as provided for above in this Section
9.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Global Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Global Agent, and the retiring Global Agent shall be discharged from all of
its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Company to a successor
Global Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between
the Company and such successor. After the retiring Global Agent’s resignation hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 11.02 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Global Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Global Agent was acting as Global Agent.

     If PNC resigns as Global Agent under this Section 9.06, PNC shall also resign as an LC Issuer.
Upon the appointment of a successor Global Agent hereunder, such successor shall (i) succeed to
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as a retiring LC Issuer and the Global
Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as

136

 

an LC Issuer and the Global Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to PNC to effectively assume the obligations of
PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Global Agent and Other Lenders.

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

     Section 9.08 Other Agents.

     Any Lender identified herein as a Co-Agent, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, Managing
Agent, Manager, Lead Arranger, Arranger or any other corresponding title, other than “Global
Agent,” shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except those applicable to all Lenders as such. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any Lender so identified in deciding to
enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking any action hereunder.

     The Company shall pay to the Global Agent a nonrefundable fee under the terms of the Fee
Letter.

     The Lenders and each LC Issuer authorize the Global Agent to release (i) any Collateral
consisting of assets or equity interests sold or otherwise disposed of in a sale or other
disposition or transfer permitted under Section 7.02, and (ii) any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty Agreement if the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise
disposed of or transferred to persons other than Credit Parties in a transaction permitted under
Section 7.02.

     Section 9.11 No Reliance on Global Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

     Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates,
participants or assignees, may rely on the Global Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s,
participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP
Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the

137

 

following items relating to or in connection with any of the Credit Parties, their Affiliates
or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any

Laws.

ARTICLE X  —  GUARANTY

to, and the other Obligations of, the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under this Agreement, and (ii)
all reimbursement obligations and Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the

incurred or arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership
or similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding or subject to

to pay punctually any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations, the Company shall forthwith on demand
by the Global Agent pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in
the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument. This
guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

     Section 10.02 Additional Undertaking.

     As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, the Company unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes and agrees, for the benefit of the Benefited Creditors that, should any
amounts not be recoverable from the Company under Section 10.01 for any reason whatsoever
(including, without limitation, by reason of any provision of any Loan Document or any other
agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or
otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof
by any Lender, the Global Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other person, at any
time, the Company as sole, original and independent obligor, upon demand by the Global Agent, will
make payment to the Global Agent, for the account of the Benefited Creditors, of all such
obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in such
manner as is provided in the Loan Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument.

138

 

     Section 10.03 Guaranty Unconditional.

     The obligations of the Company under this Article shall be unconditional and absolute and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise

Company Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise;

Company Guaranteed Obligation under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any
Company Guaranteed Obligation;

          (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other
Subsidiary or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any
Credit Party or other Subsidiary or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
obligation of any Credit Party or other Subsidiary contained in any agreement or instrument
evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation;

          (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Company may have at any time
against any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender or any
other person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;

          (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party for any
reason of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed Obligation,
or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Credit
Party of any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations; or

          (g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Global Agent, any
Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions
of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a Subsidiary’s obligations under the
Subsidiary Guaranty or the Company’s obligations under this Article other than the irrevocable
payment in full of all Company Guaranteed Obligations.

     Section 10.04 Company Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration.

     The Company’s obligations under this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the
Commitments shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Notes and other Company
Guaranteed Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Company, any other Credit Party or
other Subsidiary, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or
relating to any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations, shall have been paid in full. If at any
time any payment of any of the Company Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or

139

 

reorganization of such Credit Party, the Company’s obligations under this Article with respect
to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made
at such time.

     Section 10.05 Waiver of Acceptance, etc.

     The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice
not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any
person against any other Credit Party or any other Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of
any other Person.

     Section 10.06 Subrogation.

     Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations and the termination of the
Commitments hereunder, the Company shall have no rights, by operation of law or otherwise, upon
making any payment under this Article to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against any other
Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated
by any such Credit Party in respect thereof.

     Section 10.07 Effect of Stay.

     In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Credit
Party under any Company Guaranteed Obligation is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the
terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Company Guaranteed
Obligation shall nonetheless be payable by the Company under this Article forthwith on demand by
the Global Agent.

brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, 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 (x) 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 or (y) result from a
claim brought by the Borrowers or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad

respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or
related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or
any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith.

               (ii) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the

     Section 11.05 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (other than

143

 

any Defaulting Lender), and, provided, further, that any assignment or participation by a
Lender of any of its rights and obligations hereunder shall be effected in accordance with this
Section.

          (b) Participations. Each Lender may at any time grant participations in any of its
rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to an Eligible Assignee, provided that in the case of
any such participation,

               (i) the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, including rights of consent, approval or waiver (the participant’s rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such
Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto),

               (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its
Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

               (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations,

               (iv) such Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and

               (v) the Borrowers, the Global Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation, except that the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Article III to the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits if the participation
had not been entered into or sold,

and, provided further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender
shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to
approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to the
departure therefrom except to the extent such amendment or waiver or consent would (w) extend the
final scheduled maturity of the Loans or Letter of Credit in which such participant is
participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except
in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates),
or reduce the principal amount thereof or extend the time of payment thereof, or increase such
participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it
being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in
the terms of any such Commitment), (x) release all or any substantial portion of the Collateral, or
release any guarantor from its guaranty of any of the Obligations, except strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (y) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower
of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

          (c) Assignments by Lenders.

               (i) Any Lender may assign all, or if less than all, a fixed portion, of its Loans, Revolving
Facility LC Participations, Canadian LC Participations, Swing Loan Participations and/or
Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more

144

 

Eligible Assignees, each of which shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by
execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided, however, that

                    (A) except in the case (x) of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments or (y) an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of such
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Commitment so assigned (which for this purpose includes the Loans outstanding thereunder) shall not
be less than $5,000,000;

                    (B) no Lender that is a Canadian Lender (whether directly or by its Canadian Lending
Installation) may (i) at any time prior to the Equalization Date, assign any portion of its
Revolving Commitment (including the outstanding Revolving Loans made by it thereunder) without also
assigning to the same Eligible Assignee (or the Canadian Lending Installation of such Eligible
Assignee) a proportionate amount of the Canadian Commitment (and the outstanding Canadian Revolving
Loans made by it thereunder) of such Lender (or the Canadian Lending Installation of such Lender),
or (ii) assign any portion of its Canadian Commitment to an Eligible Assignee who is (or whose
Canadian Lending Installation is) not a resident of Canada within the meaning of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) for the purposes of the withholding tax provisions in Part XIII of the Income Tax Act
(Canada);

                    (C) in the case of any assignment to an Eligible Assignee at the time of any such assignment
the Lender Register shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of
the existing Lenders;

                    (D) upon surrender of the old Notes, if any, upon request of the new Lender, new Notes will be
issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, to the extent
needed to reflect the revised Commitments; and

                    (E) unless waived by the Global Agent, the Global Agent shall receive at the time of each such
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee
of $3,500.

               (ii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this subpart (c), the assigning Lender shall
be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments.

               (iii) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this subpart (c) to a Person that is not
already a Lender hereunder and that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes the respective assignee Lender
shall provide to the Company and the Global Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms
(and, if applicable an Exemption Certificate) described in Section 3.03. To the extent that an
assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations
pursuant to this subpart (c) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under
Section 3.02 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment,
then the Company shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall
be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes
after the date of the respective assignment).

145

 

               (iv) With respect to any Lender, the transfer of any Commitment of such Lender and the rights
to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be
effective until such transfer is recorded on the Lender Register maintained by the Global Agent
with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts
owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the
transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans
shall be recorded by the Global Agent on the Lender Register only upon the acceptance by the Global
Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment Agreement pursuant to this subpart (c).

               (v) Nothing in this Section shall prevent or prohibit (A) any Lender that is a bank, trust
company or other financial institution from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank
in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, or (B) any Lender that
is a trust, limited liability company, partnership or other investment company from pledging its
Notes or Loans to a trustee or agent for the benefit of holders of certificates or debt securities
issued by it. No such pledge, or any assignment pursuant to or in lieu of an enforcement of such a
pledge, shall relieve the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

          (d) No SEC Registration or Blue Sky Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Section, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder
or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant
would require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans
under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state.

          (e) Representations of Lenders. Each Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby
represents, and each Person that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this
Section will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is a commercial lender,
other financial institution or other “accredited” investor (as defined in SEC Regulation D) that
makes or acquires loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make or acquire
Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that subject
to the preceding Section 11.05(b) and (c), the disposition of any promissory notes or other
evidences of or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its
exclusive control.

     Section 11.06 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

     No failure or delay on the part of the Global Agent or any Lender in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the
Borrowers and the Global Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall
entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of the rights of the Global Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action
in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the making of a Loan or any LC Issuance shall not be construed as a waiver of

146

 

any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Global Agent, any Lender or any LC
Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. The
rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that the Global Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT

SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE GLOBAL AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY LC ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO
BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE
BORROWERS OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

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

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE

RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

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

understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof.

     Section 11.10 Headings Descriptive.

     The headings of the several Sections and other portions of this Agreement are inserted for

                    (E) reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition of Required

                    (F) alter the manner in which payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts

Any waiver, consent, amendment or other modification with respect to this Agreement given or made

          (b) No provision of Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or any other provision in this Agreement
specifically relating to Letters of Credit or Article IX may be amended without the consent of (x)
any LC Issuer adversely affected thereby or (y) the Global Agent, respectively.

          (c) To the extent the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting

capital stock shall be released from the Security Agreement and such Subsidiary shall be released
from the Subsidiary Guaranty; and (iii) the Global Agent shall be authorized to take actions deemed
appropriate by it in order to effectuate the foregoing.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.11, if in connection with any proposed
waiver, amendment or modification referred to in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, the consent of
the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent
is required is not obtained (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers shall have
the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant
to Section 2.16(b).

150

 

     Section 11.12 Survival of Indemnities.

     All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Article III (subject to the
limitations set forth Section 3.02(d)) or Section 11.02 shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

     Section 11.13 Domicile of Loans.

     Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office,
subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, including any Canadian Lending Installation; provided,
however, that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 3.02 resulting
from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such
transfer.

     Section 11.14 Confidentiality.

          (a) Each of the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be
disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents,
including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to
whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential
Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (ii) to any direct
or indirect contractual counterparty in any Hedge Agreement (or to any such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisor, so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional
advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section, (iii) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority or required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar
legal process, provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, regulation or court
order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Company of any such request or
requirement prior to disclosure of such information (other than any request in connection with any
examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such
Governmental Authority), (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) to any other
creditor of any Credit Party that is one of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security
Agreement) under the Security Agreement, so long as such creditor agrees to be bound by the
provisions of this Section, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents, or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any
assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement, (viii) with the consent of the Company, or (ix) to the extent
such Confidential Information (A) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section, or (B) becomes available to the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender
on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party and not otherwise in violation
of this Section.

          (b) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information
received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to such Person or its business, other
than any such information that is available to the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or

151

 

any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided, however,
that, in the case of information received from such Person after the Closing Date, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

          (c) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrowers hereby
agree that the failure of the Global Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender to comply with the
provisions of this Section shall not relieve any Borrower, or any other Credit Party, of any of its
obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

     Section 11.15 [Reserved]

     Section 11.16 No Duty.

     All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including
the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such Person may act) retained by the Global
Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have
the right to act exclusively in the interest of the Global Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or
obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the Company, to any of its Subsidiaries, or to any
other Person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to
their activities in connection with such representation. Each Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself
and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard
to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether
known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.

     Section 11.17 Lenders and Agent Not Fiduciary to Borrowers, etc.

     The relationship among the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Global
Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor,
and the Global Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders have no fiduciary or other special
relationship with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and no term or provision of any Loan Document,
no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as
to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

     Section 11.18 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

     All representations and warranties herein shall survive the making of Loans and all LC
Issuances hereunder, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other
documents the forms of which are attached as Exhibits hereto, the issue and delivery of the Notes,
any disposition thereof by any holder thereof, and any investigation made by the Global Agent or
any Lender or any other holder of any of the Notes or on its behalf. All statements contained in
any certificate or other document delivered to the Global Agent or any Lender or any holder of any
Notes by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or otherwise
specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby

152

 

shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrowers hereunder, made as of the
respective dates specified therein or, if no date is specified, as of the respective dates
furnished to the Global Agent or any Lender.

     Section 11.19 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 11.20 Independence of Covenants.

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

     Section 11.21 Interest Rate Limitation.

          (a) Maximum Rate. 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 that are
treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that 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 Base Rate to the date
of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          (b) Canadian Interest Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in section 347 of the Criminal Code, Revised
Statutes of Canada, 1985, C. 46 as the same may be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to
time) payable under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Obligations exceed the effective
annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement
lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this
Agreement in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the
provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by
mutual mistake of the applicable Canadian Borrower and the Canadian Lenders and the amount of such
payment or collection shall be refunded to such Canadian Borrower; for purposes of this Agreement
the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
actuarial practices and

153

 

principles over the term of the applicable credit advanced on the basis of annual compounding
of the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow
of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Global Agent will be conclusive for the
purposes of such determination. The amount of the payment that is to be refunded will be
determined by the Global Agent.

     Section 11.22 Judgment Currency.

     If the Global Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against any
Borrower in a Designated Foreign Currency, the obligations of such Borrower in respect of any sum
adjudged to be due to the Global Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the
“Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day
following receipt by the Global Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Designated Foreign Currency,
the Global Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the
Judgment Amount in such Designated Foreign Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less
than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or
dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a
result of the failure of such Borrower to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes
when it was originally due hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the
“Original Due Date”) to the Global Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the
“Loss”), such Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Global Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and
if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased
with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, the Global Agent or such Lender agrees to remit
such excess to such Borrower.

     Section 11.23 USA Patriot Act Notification.

     Each Lender and the Global Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
such Lender and the Global Agent are required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, which information includes the name
and address of each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will
allow such Lender or the Global Agent, as applicable, to identify each of the Borrowers and the
other Credit Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

154

 

     Section 11.24 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation.

     The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as provided
herein, and this Agreement is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, an interruption,
suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation, or termination of the
liens, security interests, indebtedness, loans, liabilities, expenses, or obligations under the
Existing Credit Agreement. Security interests and Liens taken pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents (including those executed in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement) to secure the
Obligations are not affected by this amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and
continue to remain in effect as security for the Obligations.
