incorporated by reference therein or supplementary thereto, including without

Bloomberg cashflows (if posted) or other material prepared for and disseminated to
investors by or with the authorization of the Originator, its affiliates or the
Trust, or otherwise made or alleged to have been made by an Indemnitor to the
purchaser or Subscriber or any prospective purchaser or Subscriber;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the breach by an Indemnitor of any of the representations, warranties or

whether in force in Canada or elsewhere, resulting from any action taken or omitted to
be taken by an Indemnitor or any of its directors, officers or employees acting as
such in connection with the sale of the Notes,

	 	 	provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply in respect of an Indemnified Person
to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any such documents in
reliance upon and in conformity with any written information relating to such Indemnified
Person furnished to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person specifically for
use therein.

	(2)	 	If any Proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity may

Indemnified Person will promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing, and the Indemnitor will
assume the defence of the action or claim, including the employment of counsel acceptable to
the Indemnified Person (acting reasonably) and the payment of all reasonable expenses. The
Indemnified Person will have the right to employ separate counsel in any Proceeding if:

judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnitor agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons from
and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnitor
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Persons, make an admission
of liability or effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Persons are or could have been a party and indemnity could have been

	Section 12	 	RIGHTS OF TERMINATION

	(1)	 	If prior to the Closing Date any inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding
whether formal or informal is instituted, announced or threatened or any order is made by any
federal, provincial or other governmental agency or body in relation to the Trust (other than
an inquiry, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding based solely on the activities or
alleged activities of the Agents) or any law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof) is
promulgated, changed or announced, which, in the sole opinion of any Agent, acting reasonably,
operates to prevent or materially adversely affect the distribution of the Notes or which, in
the sole opinion of any Agent, acting reasonably, materially adversely affects the value,
market price, ratings or the marketability of the Notes, such Agent shall be entitled, at its
sole option, in accordance with Section 12(5), to terminate its obligations under this Agency
Agreement by written notice to that effect given to the Trust at any time prior to the Closing
Date.

	(2)	 	If prior to the Closing Date (i) there should develop, occur or come into effect or
existence, any event, action, state, condition or occurrence of national or international
consequence, acts of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or

- 21 -

 

	 	 	crisis or any
change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political,
financial or economic conditions, or any law, action, regulation or other occurrence of any
nature whatsoever which, in the sole opinion of any Agent, acting reasonably, materially
adversely affects or involves or may materially adversely affect or involve the Canadian, U.S.
or international financial markets or the business, affairs or operations of the Trust, or
(ii) the state of the Canadian, U.S. or international financial markets is such that, in the
sole opinion of any Agent, acting reasonably, the Notes cannot be profitably marketed; then,
in any one or more of the foregoing cases, such Agent shall be entitled, at its sole option,
in accordance with Section 12(5), to terminate its obligations under this Agency Agreement by
written notice to that effect given to the Trust at any time prior to the Closing Date.

	(3)	 	If prior to the Closing Date there should occur or be announced any material adverse change
which, in the sole opinion of any Agent, acting reasonably, might reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the value, market price, ratings or the marketability of the
Notes, such Agent shall be entitled, at its sole option, in accordance with Section 12(5), to
terminate its obligations under this Agency Agreement by written notice to that effect given
to the Trust at any time prior to the Closing Date.

	(4)	 	The Trust agrees that all terms and conditions in this Agency Agreement shall be construed as
conditions to be complied with so far as they relate to acts to be performed or caused to be
performed by it, that it will use its best efforts to cause such conditions to be complied
with and that any failure by it to comply with, or any breach of, or failure to satisfy, any
such conditions shall entitle any of the Agents to terminate its obligations to offer the
Notes for sale by notice to that effect given to the Trust at or prior to the Closing Date,
unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agency Agreement. The Agents may waive, in whole
or in part, or extend the time for compliance with, any terms and conditions without prejudice
to their rights in respect of any other terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach
or non-compliance, provided that any such waiver or extension shall be binding upon the Agents
only if such waiver or extension is in writing and signed by all of the Agents, provided,
further, that in no event shall the Closing Date occur with respect to the Class A-1b Notes
following the exercise by the related Subscriber of its Termination Right under its
Subscription Agreement and no replacement Subscriber has executed a Subscription Agreement in
respect of the Class A-1b Notes.

	(5)	 	The rights of termination contained in Section 12(1), (2), (3) and (4) may be exercised by
any of the Agents and are in addition to any other rights or remedies any of the Agents may
have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by Trust in respect of
any of the matters contemplated by this Agency Agreement or otherwise. In the event of any such
termination, there shall be no further liability on the part of the terminating Agent to
the Trust hereunder or on the part of the Trust, the Seller or the Originator to the
terminating Agent except in respect of any liability under Section 10 and Section 11. A
notice of termination given by an Agent under any of Section 12(1), (2), (3) and (4) shall
not be binding upon any other Agent. The

- 22 -

 

	 	 	parties hereto agree that if either of the Agents
terminates its obligations hereunder with respect to the Class A-1b Notes in accordance
with the terms of this Agency Agreement, each of the Agents shall be deemed to have
terminated its obligations hereunder and the obligations of any purchaser or Subscriber to

	Section 15	 	SURVIVAL

     The representations and warranties of the Agents, the Originator and the Trust, the
indemnities provided for in Section 11 hereof, and covenants to be fulfilled by each party after
the Closing Time, contained in this Agency Agreement will survive the Closing Date and
notwithstanding such closing, will continue in full force and effect for a period of one year from
the Closing Date. For greater certainty, nothing herein limits the time in which any action in
respect hereof may be commenced.

			
	Section 16	 	SEVERABILITY

     If one or more provisions contained herein will, for any reason, be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not
affect any other provision of this Agency Agreement, but this Agency Agreement will be construed as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein.

			
	Section 17	 	ENTIRE AGREEMENT

     The provisions herein contained constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and
supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings and

- 24 -

 

agreements between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether verbal or written.

			
	Section 18	 	COUNTERPARTS

     This Agency Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto or in
connection herewith may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original,
but all such counterparts together will constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages
may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that
all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agency Agreement will
become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and
receipt by the parties of written or telephonic notification of authorization of delivery hereof.
Delivery of an executed copy of this Agency Agreement by facsimile or e-mail shall be as effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agency Agreement.

     This Agency Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

     Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, and any appellate court from
any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agency Agreement or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws.

     Each of the parties hereto 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 Agency Agreement in any court of the
Province of Ontario. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action
or proceeding in any such court.

     Time will be of the essence of this Agency Agreement.

	Section 22	 	INTERPRETATION

     For the purposes of this Agency Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless
the context otherwise requires:

	 	(a)	 	any reference in this Agency Agreement to a designated “Section”,
“Subsection”, “Paragraph” or other subdivision refers to the designated section,
subsection, paragraph or other subdivision of this Agency Agreement;
	 
	 	(b)	 	the words “herein” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to
this Agency Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other
subdivision of this Agency Agreement;
	 
	 	(c)	 	the word “including”, when following any general statement, term or matter,
is not to be construed to limit such general statement, term or matter to the specific
items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or
matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation” or “but
not limited to” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto but rather
refers to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest
possible scope of such general statement, term or matter;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any reference to a statute includes and, unless otherwise specified herein,
is a reference to such statute and to the regulations made pursuant thereto, with all
amendments made thereto and in force from time to time, and to any statute or
regulations that may be passed which have the effect of supplementing or superseding
such statute or such regulation;
	 
	 	(e)	 	any reference to “party” or “parties” means the Trust, the Originator and the
Agents, or one of or both of the foregoing, as the context requires;
	 
	 	(f)	 	all amounts expressed herein in terms of money refer to lawful currency of

	Section 23	 	FURTHER ASSURANCES

     Each of the parties hereto will do or cause to be done all such acts and things and will
execute or cause to be executed all such documents, agreements and other instruments as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable for the purpose of carrying out the provisions and intent of this
Agency Agreement.

- 26 -

 

			
	Section 24	 	NO FIDUCIARY DUTY

     Each of the Originator and the Trust acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the
offering of the Notes contemplated hereunder or any other services the Agents may be deemed to be
providing hereunder, notwithstanding any pre-existing relationship, advisory or otherwise, between
the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the
Agents: (i) no fiduciary relationship between the Originator, the Trust and any other person, on
the one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, exists; (ii) the Agents are not acting as advisor,
expert or otherwise, to the Originator or the Trust, and such relationship between the Originator
and the Trust on the one hand, and the Agents, other the other hand, is entirely and solely
commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Agents may
have to the Originator or the Trust shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically
stated herein; and (iv) the Agents and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ
from those of the Originator and the Trust. The Originator and the Trust hereby waive any claims
that the Originator or the Trust may have against the Agents with respect to any breach of
fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Notes.

			
	Section 25	 	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agency Agreement, in enforcing any claim against
the Trust for losses, costs, damages, expenses or other liabilities incurred by the Agents in
connection with any breach of the Trust of its obligations hereunder in the event the purchase of
the Notes is completed as contemplated herein, an Agent’s recourse against the Trust will be solely
limited to recovery against the Related Collateral, subject to the prior payment of certain amounts
as described in the Prospectus.

     Nothing in this Agency Agreement will be deemed to cause the Issuer Trustee personally to be
liable for any obligations of the Trust hereunder and the Agents will not seek any personal or
deficiency judgment on such obligations against the Issuer Trustee. Any liability of the Issuer
Trustee hereunder is non-recourse to the Issuer Trustee in its personal capacity and limited solely
to the Related Collateral. No other property or assets of the Issuer Trustee, whether owned by it
in its personal capacity or otherwise, will be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement
procedure with regard to any obligation hereunder. There will be no further liability against the
Issuer Trustee.

error) that it is unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for any reason, including
the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance
with

-3-

 

the terms thereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause

in this Credit Agreement shall refer to this Credit Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Credit Agreement, and Section, subsection, Schedule and Exhibit
references are to this Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

     (d) The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by
“without limitation” whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like
import.

     (e) The words “writing”, “written” and comparable terms shall refer to printing,
typing, computer disk, e-mail, facsimile and other means of reproducing words in a visible
form.

-42-

 

     (f) References to any agreement or contract are to such agreement or contract as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include the successors and permitted
assigns of such Person.

     Section 1.3. Accounting Terms.

     Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all
accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements required to be
delivered hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with
the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Initial Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries delivered to the Lenders; provided that, if the Initial Borrower
notifies the Administrative Agent that it wishes to amend any covenant in Section 5.32 to
eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the
Administrative Agent notifies the Initial Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to amend
Section 5.32 for such purpose), then the Initial Borrower’s compliance with such covenant
shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP
became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner
satisfactory to the Initial Borrower and the Required Lenders.

     Section 1.4. Computation of Time Periods.

     All time references in this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be to
Charlotte, North Carolina time unless otherwise indicated. For purposes of computation of periods
of time hereunder, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each
mean “to but excluding.”

     Section 1.5. Currencies Generally.

     (a) At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Alternative Currency” or
in any other provision of this Credit Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation
means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether or not the name of such
Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. For purposes of determining (i) whether
the amount of any Revolving Loan, together with all other Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans
and LOC Obligations outstanding or to be borrowed or issued at the same time as such
Revolving Loan, would exceed the Committed Amount then in effect, (ii) whether the LOC
Obligations exceed the LOC Committed Amount, and (iii) whether any Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of any Revolving Loan (together with its Commitment Percentage of all other
Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LOC Obligations then outstanding or to be borrowed or
issued at the same time as such Revolving Loan) would exceed the amount of such Lender’s
Commitment, the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Loan or LOC Obligation that is
denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of such
amount of Alternative Currency determined as of the date of such Revolving Loan or LOC
Obligation. Wherever in this Credit Agreement in connection with a Revolving

-43-

 

Loan or LOC Obligation an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is
expressed in Dollars, but such Revolving Loan or LOC Obligation is denominated in any
Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such
Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest one thousandth). In addition, for purposes of
complying with any requirement of this Credit Agreement stated in Dollars or calculating
any ratio or other test set forth in this Credit Agreement, the amount of any Revolving Loan
and LOC Obligation that is denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be the
Dollar Equivalent of such amount of Alternative Currency determined as of the date of such
calculation.

     (b) Each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National
Currency of a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall,
effective from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State, be
redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to
the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation
provides that any such obligation of any such party payable within such Participating Member
State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euro or
such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in
Euro or in such National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in
this Credit Agreement with respect to any Alternative Currency of any country that becomes a
Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Alternative
Currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for
the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of Euro, such convention or practice
shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state
becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Revolving Loan
denominated in such currency that is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such
replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

     (c) Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and
the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, each provision of this
Credit Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time, in consultation with the Initial Borrower,
reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover
to Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date hereof;
provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Initial Borrower and each
Lender with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change in
sufficient time to permit the Initial Borrower and the Lenders an opportunity to respond to
such proposed change.

ARTICLE II

THE LOANS; AMOUNT AND TERMS

     Section 2.1. Revolving Loans.

     (a) Revolving Commitment. Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans
in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency to the Borrower (“Revolving Loans”) from
time to time for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that
(i) with regard to each Lender individually, the sum of such Lender’s share of outstanding
Revolving Loans, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swingline
Loans, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of LOC Obligations shall not exceed
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Committed Amount, and (ii) with regard
to the Lenders collectively, the Advances Outstanding shall not exceed the aggregate
Committed Amount then in effect. For purposes hereof, the aggregate amount available
hereunder shall be NINE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($900,000,000.00) (as such aggregate
maximum amount may be reduced from time to time as provided in Section 2.6, the
“Committed Amount”) (for the avoidance of doubt, the Committed Amount of any Lender
or Class of Lenders shall mean the aggregate Commitments of such Lender or Class of
Lenders); provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Loans and LOC Obligations in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed
the Alternative Currency Sub Limit. Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars may consist of
Alternate Base Rate Loans or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the
Initial Borrower may request, and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the
provisions hereof. Revolving Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency may consist of
Alternate Base Rate Loans or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as the
Borrower may request, and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date or on
either of the two Business Days immediately following the Closing Date may only consist of
Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars. Any Loans denominated in Dollars shall be
made by each Lender at its Domestic Lending Office and any Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency shall be made by each Lender at its EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office.

     (b) Revolving Loan Borrowings.

          (i) Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall request a Revolving Loan borrowing
by written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing which confirmation may
be by fax) to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on the same Business Day of
the requested borrowing in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, and
on the third Business Day prior to the date of the requested borrowing in the case of
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in

-45-

 

Dollars, and on the fourth Business Day prior to the date of the requested borrowing in
the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency. Each such request for borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall
specify (A) that a Revolving Loan is requested, (B) the date of the requested borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day), (C) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed, and (D)
whether the borrowing shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate
Loans or a combination thereof, the Currency therefor, and if EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans are
requested, the Interest Period(s) therefor. A form of Notice of Borrowing (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) is attached as Exhibit A. If the Borrower shall fail to specify in
any such Notice of Borrowing (1) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest
Period of one month, (2) the type of Revolving Loan requested, then such notice shall be
deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan hereunder or (3) the Currency of the
Revolving Loan requested, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request by the Initial
Borrower for an Alternate Base Rate Loan denominated in Dollars hereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice
of Borrowing, the contents thereof and each such Lender’s share thereof.

          (ii) Minimum Amounts. Each Revolving Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate
amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining
amount of the Committed Amount, if less).

          (iii) Advances. Each Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each
Revolving Loan borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section
9.2, or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, upon
reasonable advance notice by 1:00 P.M. on the date specified in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing, in the Currency of such Revolving Loan and in funds immediately available to the
Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the applicable Borrower
by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the applicable Borrower on the books
of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent
by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

     (c) Repayment. The principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and
payable in full in the Currency of such Revolving Loan on the Commitment Termination Date.

     (d) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9, Revolving
Loans shall bear interest as follows:

          (i) Alternate Base Rate Loans. During such periods as any Revolving Loans
shall be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, each such Alternate Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate; and

-46-

 

          (ii) EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans. During such periods as any Revolving Loans
shall be comprised of EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, each such Loan denominated in (a) any
Currency (other than Euro) shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the
applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Percentage, and (b) Euro shall bear interest at a
per annum rate equal to the sum of the applicable EURIBOR plus the Applicable Percentage.

     Interest on Revolving Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

     (e) Revolving Notes. The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Lender’s Revolving
Loans shall be evidenced by a revolving note made payable to such Lender in substantially
the form of Exhibit B, if requested by such Lender (“Revolving Note”).

     Section 2.2. Intentionally Omitted.

     Section 2.3. Letter of Credit Subfacility.

     (a) Issuance. Subject to Section 2.3(c) and (h) and the other
terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents, if any, and any other terms and
conditions which the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, prior to the Extending Lender
Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue, and the Lenders shall participate in, Letters
of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time upon request in a form
acceptable to the Issuing Lender; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate
amount of the LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed the LOC Committed Amount (other
than in connection with a reduction of the LOC Committed Amount pursuant to the definition
thereof, but only if such excess has been cash collateralized in accordance with the terms
hereof), (ii) the Advances Outstanding shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Committed
Amount then in effect, (iii) the Advances Outstanding in Alternative Currencies shall not
exceed the Alternative Currency Sub Limit, (iv) all Letters of Credit shall be issued in
Dollars or in an Alternative Currency (without limiting the provisions of Section
2.3(h), Letters of Credit issued in Dollars shall only be issued for the account of the
Initial Borrower and Letters of Credit issued in Alternative Currencies shall be issued for
the account of any Borrower) and (v) Letters of Credit shall be issued for any lawful
corporate purposes and may be issued as standby letters of credit, and trade letters of
credit. Except for the Existing Letters of Credit or as otherwise expressly agreed upon by
all the Lenders, no Letter of Credit shall have an original expiry date more than twelve
(12) months from the date of issuance; provided, however, so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the other terms
and conditions to the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the expiry dates of Letters
of Credit may be extended annually or periodically from time to time at the request of the
applicable Borrower or by operation of the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit to a
date not more than twelve (12) months from the then current date of expiry;
provided, further, that no Letter of Credit, as originally issued or as
extended, shall have an expiry date extending beyond the date that is one month prior to the
Extending Lender Maturity Date (except to the extent it is cash collateralized as provided
herein). Furthermore, unless

-47-

 

otherwise agreed to by the Issuing Lender, no trade Letter of Credit shall have an
expiry date more than 180 days from the date of issuance. With respect to any Letter of
Credit outstanding on March 12, 2010 and expiring after March 13, 2010, the Borrower shall
deposit cash collateral with the Issuing Lender on March 13, 2010 in an amount equal to 103%
of the stated and undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit and in the Currency in which such
Letter of Credit was issued; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to cash collateralize such Letter of Credit
to the extent that (w) the Extending Event has occurred, (x) an Event of Default is not in
existence on March 13, 2010 and (y) the Advances Outstanding of the Extending Lenders would
not exceed the Committed Amount on March 13, 2010, after giving effect to the termination of
the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, Letters of Credit may have an
expiry date extending beyond the date that is one month prior to March 31, 2012 if the
Extending Event has occurred provided that the Borrower deposits cash collateral (30 days
prior to March 31, 2012) with the Issuing Lender in an amount equal to 103% of the stated
and undrawn amount of the Letter of Credit and in the Currency in which such Letter of
Credit was issued. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. The
issuance date and expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. Except for
the Existing Letters of Credit, any Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be in a minimum
original face amount of $25,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of
this Agreement, the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if
a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under this Section 2.3 exists or any
Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into cash
collateral arrangements or other arrangements with the applicable Borrower or any other
party which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its sole and absolute discretion to
eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Impacted Lender. Any requirement
imposed on the applicable Borrower to provide cash collateral hereunder shall be expressly
permitted, notwithstanding any negative pledge or other restriction elsewhere in this
Agreement or any other Credit Document.

     (b) Notice and Reports. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Issuing Lender and
the applicable Borrower, the request for the issuance of a standby Letter of Credit shall be
submitted to the Issuing Lender at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date
of issuance, and the request for the issuance of a trade Letter of Credit shall be submitted
to the Issuing Lender at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance.
The Issuing Lender will on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit and promptly upon
request provide to the Administrative Agent a detailed report specifying the Letters of
Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may
have occurred since the date of any prior report, and including therein, among other things,
the account party, the beneficiary, the face amount, expiry date as well as any payments or
expirations which may have occurred. The Issuing Lender will further provide to the
Administrative Agent promptly upon request copies of the Letters of Credit. The Issuing
Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent, and any

-48-

 

requesting Lender, promptly upon request a summary report of the nature and extent of
LOC Obligations then outstanding.

     (c) Participations. Each Lender (other than the Issuing Lender of such Letter
of Credit), upon issuance of any Letter of Credit (or upon such Person becoming a Lender
hereunder), shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the
Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any
collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of
the obligations under such Letter of Credit and shall absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the
Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its Commitment Percentage of the obligations
arising under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that if (1) the
Extending Event has occurred and (2) such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized if
required under subsection (a) of this Section 2.3 above, then on March 13, 2010 (i) such
risk participations of the Non-Extending Lenders in outstanding Letters of Credit shall
terminate and (ii) the Extending Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse
such risk participations in such outstanding Letters of Credit (so that they hold all of the
risk participations in all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages). Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s
participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been
reimbursed as required hereunder or under any LOC Document, each such Lender shall pay to
the Issuing Lender its Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in the Currency of
such unreimbursed drawing and in same day funds on the day of notification by the Issuing
Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) below
(for the avoidance of doubt, the Non-Extending Lenders shall not have any such obligation
with respect to any Letter of Credit issued (1) on or after March 13, 2010 or (2) prior to
March 13, 2010 if the Extending Lenders are required pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence to purchase the risk participations of the Non-Extending Lenders in such Letter of
Credit). The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of
Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.

     (d) Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The
Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender on the day of drawing under any Letter of Credit
(either with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise) in the
Currency of such drawing and in same day funds as provided herein or in the LOC Documents.
If the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided herein, the
unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the
Alternate Base Rate applicable to the Currency of such drawing plus 2%. Unless the
Borrower shall immediately notify the Issuing Lender and the

-49-

 

Administrative Agent of its intent to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan in the Currency and the amount
of the drawing as provided in subsection (e) below, the proceeds of which will be
used to satisfy the reimbursement obligations. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any
rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against
the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of
Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation any defense based on any
failure of the Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or
unenforceability of the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender will promptly notify the other
Lenders of the Currency and amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Lender shall
promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, in such
Currency and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing (for the avoidance of doubt, if (i) the Extending
Event has occurred, the Non-Extending Lenders shall not have any obligation to make such
payment with respect to any unreimbursed drawing occurring on or after March 13, 2010 with
respect to any Letter of Credit issued on or after March 13, 2010 and (ii) that if (1) the
Extending Event has occurred and (2) such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized if
required under subsection (a) of this Section 2.3, then the Non-Extending Lenders shall not
have any obligation to make such payment with respect to any unreimbursed drawing occurring
on or after March 13, 2010 with respect to any Letter of Credit issued prior to March 13,
2010). Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Lender from
the Issuing Lender if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M., otherwise such payment
shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon on the Business Day next succeeding the day such
notice is received. If such Lender does not pay such amount to the Issuing Lender in full
upon such request, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date
of such drawing until such Lender pays such amount to the Issuing Lender in full at a rate
per annum equal to (i), if such unpaid amount is owed in Dollars and paid within two
Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal
to the Alternate Base Rate or (ii) if such unpaid amount is owed in any Alternative
Currency, the Alternate Base Rate. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the
Issuing Lender, and the right of the Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute
and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard
to the termination of this Credit Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a
Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder
and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

     (e) Repayment with Revolving Loans. On any day on which the Borrower shall
have requested, or been deemed to have requested, a Revolving Loan to reimburse a drawing
under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders that a
Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in connection

-50-

 

with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan borrowing shall
be immediately made comprised entirely of Revolving Loans in the Currency of such drawing
and bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate applicable to the Currency of such drawing
(each such borrowing, a “Mandatory LOC Borrowing”) pro rata based on
each Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2) and the proceeds thereof
shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC
Obligations. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans immediately
upon any such request or deemed request on account of each Mandatory LOC Borrowing in the
amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date (or,
in the case of Mandatory LOC Borrowings in Alternative Currency, on the next Business Day)
notwithstanding that (i) the amount of Mandatory LOC Borrowing may not comply with
the minimum amount for borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii)
whether any conditions specified in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a
Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or deemed
request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section
2.1(b), (v) the date of such Mandatory LOC Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the
Committed Amount after any such Letter of Credit may have been drawn upon. In the event
that any Mandatory LOC Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise
required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each such Lender
hereby agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the date the Mandatory LOC Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or
after such date and prior to such purchase) its Participation Interests in the outstanding
LOC Obligations; provided, further, that in the event any Lender shall fail
to fund its Participation Interest on the day the Mandatory LOC Borrowing would otherwise
have occurred, then the amount of such Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein
shall bear interest payable by such Lender to the Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate
equal to (i), if such unfunded Participation Interest is owed in Dollars and paid within two
Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal
to the Alternate Base Rate or (ii) if such unfunded Participation Interest is owed in any
Alternative Currency, the Alternate Base Rate.

     (f) Modification, Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification,
amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be
treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder;
provided that such supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension shall
not cause the Borrower to pay an additional Fronting Fee on such Letter of Credit except for
any Fronting Fees due with respect to any increase in the stated amount of such Letter of
Credit.

     (g) Letter of Credit Governing Law. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Lender and the Initial Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules

-51-

 

of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of
International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at
the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of
the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the
International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each trade Letter
of Credit.

     (h) Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation Section
2.3(a), a Letter of Credit issued hereunder may contain a statement to the effect that
such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of a Subsidiary of the Initial Borrower;
provided that, notwithstanding such statement, the Initial Borrower shall be the
actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such Letter of Credit and
such statement shall not affect the Initial Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder
with respect to such Letter of Credit. In no event shall a Letter of Credit be issued for
the account of an SPE Subsidiary in connection with a Securitization Transaction or for the
account of a Bank Subsidiary. Nothing in this Section 2.3(h) shall be construed to
require the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit for the account of a Subsidiary of the
Initial Borrower where the Subsidiary is the actual account party.

     (i) Existing Letters of Credit. The letters of credit previously issued by
Bank of America, N.A. and identified on Schedule 2.3(i) (the “Existing Letters
of Credit”) shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender
pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be expressly subject to all of the terms and
conditions of this Section 2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in the Existing Letters of Credit, the Initial Borrower shall be deemed to be the account
party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable
with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(b) for the
period commencing on the date of this Credit Agreement to the expiry date of the applicable
Existing Letters of Credit.

     Section 2.4. Swingline Loan Subfacility.

     (a) Swingline Commitment. Prior to the Extending Lender Maturity Date, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees
to make certain revolving credit loans to the Initial Borrower (each a “Swingline
Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) for the purposes hereinafter set
forth; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Committed Amount, and (ii) the sum of
the Advances Outstanding shall not exceed the Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder
may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. Swingline Loans
shall be made only in Dollars.

     (b) Swingline Loan Borrowings.

-52-

 

          (i) Notice of Borrowing and Disbursement. The Swingline Lender will make
Swingline Loans available to the Initial Borrower on any Business Day upon delivery of a
Notice of Swingline Borrowing by the Initial Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later
than 2:00 P.M. on such Business Day. A form of Notice of Swingline Borrowing (a “Notice
of Swingline Borrowing”) is attached as Exhibit E. Swingline Loan borrowings
hereunder shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and in integral amounts of $100,000
in excess thereof.

          (ii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan borrowing shall be due
and payable upon the earlier of (a) thirty (30) days after the Swingline Loan advance and
(b) the Extending Lender Maturity Date. In addition, any Swingline Loan borrowing
outstanding on March 13, 2010 shall be due and payable on March 12, 2010 and no new
Swingline Loans shall be made on March 12, 2010 or March 13, 2010. The Swingline Lender
may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Initial Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan
borrowing, in which case the Initial Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving
Loan borrowing denominated in Dollars comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans in the
amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, however that, in the following
circumstances, any such demand shall also be deemed to have been given one Business Day
prior to each of (A) March 13, 2010, (B) the Extending Lender Maturity Date, (C) the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.1(f), (D) acceleration of
the Credit Party Obligations hereunder, whether on account of an Event of Default described
in Section 7.1(f) or any other Event of Default, and (E) the exercise of remedies in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof (each such Revolving Loan
borrowing made on account of any such deemed request therefor as provided herein being
hereinafter referred to as “Mandatory Swingline Borrowing”). Each Lender hereby
irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans promptly upon any such request or deemed
request on account of each Mandatory Swingline Borrowing in the amount and in the manner
specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (1) the amount
of Mandatory Swingline Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of
Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (2) whether any conditions specified in
Section 3.2 are then satisfied, (3) whether a Default or an Event of Default then
exists, (4) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by
the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b)(i), (5) the date of such Mandatory
Swingline Borrowing, or (6) any reduction in the Committed Amount or termination of the
Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Swingline Borrowing or contemporaneously
therewith. In the event that any Mandatory Swingline Borrowing cannot for any reason be
made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the
commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each Lender hereby agrees that
it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Initial Borrower on
or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations
in the outstanding Swingline

-53-

 

Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans
ratably based upon its respective Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to
any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2); provided that (x) all
interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender
until the date as of which the respective participation is purchased, and (y) at the time
any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing
Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of
such participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the
Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of
payment for such participation, at the rate equal to, if paid within two Business Days of
the date of the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and
thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.

     (c) Interest on Swingline Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section
2.9(b), Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR
Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Percentage. Interest on Swingline Loans shall
be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

     (d) Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a duly executed
promissory note of the Initial Borrower to the Swingline Lender in the original amount of
the Swingline Committed Amount and substantially in the form of Exhibit F.

     Section 2.5. Fees.

     (a) Commitment Fee. In consideration of the Commitment, the Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders based on their respective
Commitments, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the
Applicable Percentage per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Committed Amount
during the calendar quarter for which such fee is payable. For purposes of computation of
the Commitment Fee, LOC Obligations shall be considered usage, but Swingline Loans shall not
be considered usage, of the Committed Amount. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly
in arrears not later than five (5) Business Days following the last day of each calendar
quarter for the prior calendar quarter or if earlier with respect to any Class of Lenders,
the Commitment Termination Date for such Class of Lenders.

     (b) Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of the LOC Commitments, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders based on
their respective Commitments (including the Issuing Lender) a fee (the “Letter of Credit
Fee”) equal to the Applicable Percentage for EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans per annum on the
average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit from the date
of issuance to the date of expiration. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable quarterly
in arrears not later than five (5) Business Days following the last day of each calendar
quarter for the prior calendar quarter. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, for its own account, a fronting fee

-54-

 

(the “Fronting Fee”) equal to the greater of (i) one-eighth of one percent
(0.125%) of the face amount of each Letter of Credit when issued, or (ii) $250. The
Fronting Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears not later than five (5) Business Days
following the last day of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter or if earlier
with respect to any Class of Lenders, the Commitment Termination Date for such Class of
Lenders.

     (c) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting
Fee payable pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing
Lender for its own account the reasonable and customary charges from time to time of the
Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and
conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing
Lender Fees”).

     (d) Administrative Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its own account, an annual administrative fee of $35,000, due and payable
quarterly, in advance, commencing on the Closing Date until the Commitments have been
terminated and the Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full.

     (e) No Duplication. The fees payable under this Section 2.5 shall be
owed and payable by the Initial Borrower; provided that if there is more than one Borrower
hereunder and each has any LOC Obligations outstanding, the fees payable in subsections
(b) and (c) above shall be payable by the Borrower that is the actual account
party.

     Section 2.6. Commitment Reductions.

     (a) Voluntary Reductions.

          (i) The Initial Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the
unused portion of the Committed Amount or the Alternative Currency Sub Limit at any time or
from time to time upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ (or four (4) Business Days in
the case of the Alternative Currency Sub Limit) prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of such termination or
reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such
reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of (except in connection with any reduction
permitted under Section 5.21) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent;
provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving
effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date
thereof, the Advances Outstanding would exceed the aggregate Committed Amount and/or the
Alternative Currency Sub Limit then in effect (or in the case of any Class of Lenders, the
Advances Outstanding of such Class of Lenders would exceed the Committed Amount and/or
Alternative Currency Sub-Limit then in effect of such Class of Lenders); provided,
further that, in the case of the proposed reduction or termination of the
Alternative Currency Sub Limit, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be

-55-

 

continuing at the time of such proposed reduction or termination or would result from
such reduction or termination.

          (ii) CSF shall have the right to terminate its rights as a Borrower with respect to the
Commitment and LOC Commitment hereunder at any time or from time to time upon not less than
three (3) Business Days’ (or four (4) Business Days’ in the case of the Alternative Currency
Sub Limit) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders
thereof as soon as practicable) of such termination, which notice shall specify the
effective date thereof and shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent; provided that (1) all indebtedness (as defined in Section
10.1) that CSF owes to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders in its capacity as a
Borrower has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or, in the case of Letters of Credit of
which CSF is the actual account party, each such Letter of Credit has been cash
collateralized in an amount equal to 103% of the stated and undrawn amount of such Letter of
Credit and in the Currency in which such Letter of Credit was issued and otherwise on terms
and conditions satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender), and (2) no Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination pursuant to
this Section 2.6(a) or would result from such termination or the termination of the
Guaranty Agreement.

     (b) Mandatory Reductions.

          (i) Reduction Event Proceeds Stepdowns. The Committed Amount shall be reduced on each
date that, without duplication: (1) Collateral Proceeds are received after December 23,
2008, by an amount equal to 75% of such Collateral Proceeds; or (2) cash proceeds from any
Debt Issuance are received after December 23, 2008, by an amount equal to 75% of such
proceeds (such proceeds referred to in clauses (1) and (2) are referred to collectively as,
the “Reduction Event Proceeds”); provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committed Amount shall only be reduced pursuant to
clauses (1) and (2) above in increments of $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount that is equal
to the then Committed Amount), so that the Committed Amount shall not be reduced until the
aggregate amount of all of the Reduction Event Proceeds required to be applied to reduce the
Committed Amount pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) above equals or exceeds $20,000,000 (or
such lesser amount that is equal to the then Committed Amount) and, after such reduction,
the Committed Amount would not be reduced pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(i) (except as
provided in the last two sentences of this paragraph) again until the aggregate amount of
all Reduction Event Proceeds required to be applied to reduce the Committed Amount pursuant
to clauses (1) and (2) above (and not previously applied to reduce the Committed Amount)
equals or exceeds $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount that is equal to the then Committed
Amount). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time that any payments required to be made
in connection with any reduction of the Committed Amount pursuant to Sections
2.6(b)(ii)(a) or (c) below (“Mandatory Reduction Payment Date”), the
Borrower shall be entitled to apply any balance of previously unapplied Reduction Event
Proceeds that are

-56-

 

less than $20,000,000 to reduce the Committed Amount pursuant to this Section (such
previously unapplied Reduction Event Proceeds will, for clarity, be allocated between the
Committed Amount of Extending Lenders and Non-Extending Lenders on the same basis as would
apply when Reduction Event Proceeds exceed $20,000,000). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, on February 24, 2010, the Borrower shall apply any balance of
previously unapplied Reduction Event Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest million) as of
February 22, 2010 (including if the aggregate amount of such previously unapplied amounts is
less than $20,000,0000) to reduce the Committed Amount.

        (ii) Other Stepdowns.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committed
Amount of the Non-Extending Lenders (to the extent not reduced to the following
amount prior to December 31, 2009 pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i)) shall
automatically be reduced without the act of any party to $94,859,813 on December
31, 2009 and to $0 on March 13, 2010.

     (b) (1) The Committed Amount of the Extending Lenders shall be reduced (A) no
later than the sixth Business Day following the date that the Borrower receives
cash proceeds from any 2009 Equity Issuance, by an amount equal to 100% of such
proceeds (net of customary and reasonable fees and expenses); provided, however,
that no reduction shall occur pursuant to this clause (A) to the extent that an
Extending Event shall have occurred on or prior to such sixth Business Day and (B)
not later than one Business Day after the date that any Credit Party receives cash
proceeds from any 2009-2012 Debt Issuance consummated on or prior to September 30,
2009, by an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds (net of customary and reasonable
fees and expenses). (2) To the extent that the Committed Amount of the Extending
Lenders is not reduced to the following amounts prior to July 31, 2009 and
September 30, 2009, respectively, pursuant to the clause (1) of this Section
2.6(b)(ii)(b), the Committed Amount of the Extending Lenders shall, unless
otherwise approved by all of the Extending Lenders, automatically be reduced
without the act of any party (x) on July 31, 2009 to $678,037,383 and (y) on
September 30, 2009 to $578,037,383, provided that if any secured 2009-2012 Debt
Issuance is consummated on or prior to such date then such Committed Amount of the
Extending Lenders shall be reduced to $478,037,383. (3) Not later than one
Business Day after the date that any Credit Party receives cash proceeds from any
2009-2012 Debt Issuance consummated during the period commencing on November 1,
2009 and ending on November 30, 2009, (x) the Committed Amount of the Non-Extending
Lenders shall be reduced by an amount equal to 75% of the aggregate principal
amount of such 2009-2012 Debt Issuance on the date of issuance and (y) the
Committed Amount of the Extending Lenders shall be reduced by an amount equal to
25% of the aggregate principal amount of such

-57-

 

2009-2012 Debt Issuance on the date of issuance; provided that if the amounts
calculated pursuant to clause (x) exceed the Committed Amount of the Non-Extending
Lenders, then such excess shall be used to reduce the Committed Amount of the
Extending Lenders (which for avoidance of doubt shall be over and above the
reduction contemplated in clause (y)). (4) Not later than one Business Day after
the date that any Credit Party receives cash proceeds from any 2009-2012 Debt
Issuance consummated on or after December 1, 2009, the Committed Amount of the
Lenders shall be reduced by an amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, which
Commitment reduction shall be pro rata among the Lenders (based on the aggregate
Commitments of the Lenders at such time).

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committed
Amount of the Extending Lenders (to the extent not reduced to the following amounts
prior to the following respective dates pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i) and
(ii) above) shall automatically be reduced, without the act of any party, on each
date specified below to the amount specified opposite such date in the second
column of the table:

          (iii) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that (1) the Advances Outstanding shall
exceed the aggregate Committed Amount as a result of any reduction pursuant to Sections
2.6(b)(i) or Section 2.6(c), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event
within three Business Days) pay or prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after
all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC
Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess in each case as provided in
Section 2.7(b); (2) the Advances Outstanding of the Non-Extending Lenders shall
exceed the aggregate Committed Amount of the Non-Extending Lenders as a result of any
reduction pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(a), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any
event within three Business Days) pay or prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of
the Non-Extending Lenders; (3) the Advances Outstanding of any Class of Lenders shall exceed
the aggregate Committed Amount of such Class of Lenders as a result of any reduction
pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(b), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event on
the same Business Day) pay or prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of such Class
of Lenders; and (4) the Advances Outstanding of the Extending Lenders shall exceed the
aggregate Committed Amount of the Extending Lenders as a result of any reduction pursuant to
Sections 2.6(b)(ii)(c), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three
Business Days) pay or prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of the Extending
Lenders and (after all such Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) cash
collateralize the LOC Obligations of the Extending Lenders in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess in each case as provided in Section 2.7(b).

     (c) Commitment Termination Date. The Commitment, the Swingline Commitment and
the LOC Commitment of any Class of Lenders shall automatically terminate (and any Advances
Outstanding of such Class of Lenders shall be repaid in full) on the Commitment Termination
Date for such Class of Lenders.

     (d) Calculation Of Mandatory Reductions; Notice. In connection with any
reduction of the Committed Amount pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the Borrower shall
provide the Agent with written notice of such reduction as promptly as possible and, in any
event, within three (3) Business Days of such reduction, which notice shall specify (i) the
effective date of such reduction, (ii) the amount of such reduction, (iii) the source of the
proceeds that are being applied to such reduction and (iv) the group of Lenders to

-59-

 

which such reduction applies (i.e. the Extending Lenders, the Non-Extending Lenders or
all Lenders).

     (e) Amendments to Schedule 2.1(a). On the date of any reduction in the
Commitments of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6, Schedule 2.1(a) shall be
deemed to be amended to reflect such reduction in the Committed Amount of such Lender and
any change in the Commitment Percentage of such Lender and the Agent is authorized to record
such reductions and changes in the Register

     Section 2.7. Prepayments.

     (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in
whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial
prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of (except in
connection with any prepayment made pursuant to Section 5.21) $1,000,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and each partial prepayment of a Swingline
Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000
in excess thereof. The Borrower shall give irrevocable notice of such prepayment in writing
to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable),
which notice shall be at least: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of
prepayment in the case of EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii) one (1)
Business Day prior to the proposed date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans
denominated in Dollars, and (iii) four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of
prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans and/or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency. Amounts prepaid under this Section 2.7(a) shall be applied to
the outstanding Loans as the Borrower may elect; provided, that each Lender shall
receive its pro rata share of any such prepayment based on its Commitment
Percentage. All prepayments under this Section 2.7(a) shall be subject to
Section 2.17, but otherwise without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal
amount prepaid shall be payable on the next occurring Interest Payment Date that would have
occurred had such Loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent,
interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be due and payable on any date that a
prepayment is made hereunder through the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the
Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the terms hereof.

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

          (i) Committed Amount. If at any time after the Closing Date, the Advances
Outstanding shall exceed the aggregate Committed Amount then in effect, the Borrower
immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans (subject to any timing requirements set forth
in Section 2.6(b)(iii)) and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline
Loans have been repaid) cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess and all such payments shall be made pro rata among the
Lenders in accordance with the Lender’s Commitments; provided, however,
that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment on account of (a)

-60-

 

Commitment reduction pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(a) shall be pro
rata among the Non-Extending Lenders (based on the aggregate Commitments of the
Non-Extending Lenders at such time), (b) any Commitment reduction pursuant to Section
2.6(b)(ii)(b) shall be pro rata among the applicable Class of Lenders
(based on the aggregate Commitments of such Class of Lenders at such time), or (c) any
Commitment reduction pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(c) shall be pro
rata among the Extending Lenders (based on the aggregate Commitments of the
Extending Lenders at such time). All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 2.7(b)(i) shall be paid and applied as follows: (A) first to the
payment of outstanding Swingline Loans, (B), second, to the payment of outstanding
Revolving Loans in the Currency in which such loans are owed; and (C) third, to a
cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations in the Currency in which such LOC
Obligations were issued. All prepayments under this Section 2.7(b)(i) shall be
subject to Section 2.17 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount
prepaid through the date of prepayment.

          (ii) If at any time after the Closing Date, the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency plus all
outstanding LOC Obligations denominated in any Alternative Currency shall exceed 105% of the
aggregate Alternative Currency Sub-Limit, the Borrower immediately shall prepay such
Alternative Currency Revolving Loans and (after all such Revolving Loans have been repaid)
cash collateralize such LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(ii) shall be paid
and applied as follows: (A) first, to the payment of outstanding Revolving Loans in
the Currency in which such loans are owed; and (B) second, to a cash collateral
account in respect of LOC Obligations in the Currency in which such LOC Obligations were
issued. All prepayments under this Section 2.7(b)(ii) shall be subject to
Section 2.17 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through
the date of prepayment. For purposes of the calculations set forth in this Section
2.7(b)(ii), Revolving Loans and LOC Obligations denominated in Alternative Currencies
shall be redenominated in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

     Section 2.8. Minimum Principal Amounts.

     All borrowings, payments and prepayments in respect of Revolving Loans shall be in such
amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate
principal amount of the Revolving Loans comprising any borrowing shall be $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

     Section 2.9. Default Rate and Payment Dates.

     (a) If (i) all or a portion of the principal amount of any EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the rate that
would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2%, until the end of the Interest

-61-

 

Period applicable thereto and thereafter the unpaid portion of such Revolving Loan
shall, if such Revolving Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated
in Dollars on the last day of such Interest Period in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the Alternate Base Rate applicable to Dollars
plus 2% (the “ABR Default Rate”), (ii) all or a portion of the principal
amount of any Alternate Base Rate Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum which is equal to the ABR Default Rate, (iii) if any interest payable on the
principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (after the applicable grace period),
such overdue amount, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, shall automatically be
redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor in an amount equal to the Dollar
Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the ABR Default Rate, and (iv) if any fee or
other amount shall not be paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum which is equal to the ABR Default Rate, in each case noted above from the date of
such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

     (b) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any other Event of Default
hereunder, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and
any other amounts owing hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum
rate which is (A) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable
thereto, plus 2%, or (B) in the case of interest, fees or other amounts, the
Alternate Base Rate applicable to the Currency of such Loan plus 2% (after as well
as before judgment). The Required Lenders shall have the right to revoke the imposition of
any default interest imposed under this Section 2.9(b).

     (c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date;
provided that interest accruing pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section 2.9 shall be payable from time to time on demand.

     Section 2.10. Conversion Options.

     (a) The Borrower may, in the case of Revolving Loans elect from time to time to convert
Alternate Base Rate Loans to EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at
least: (i) three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice of such election in the
case of Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) at least four (4) Business Days’ prior
irrevocable written notice of such election in the case of Loans denominated in any
Alternative Currency. In addition, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent
irrevocable written notice by 11:00 A.M. one Business Day prior to the proposed date of
conversion. A form of Notice of Conversion is attached as Exhibit C (the
“Notice of Conversion”). If the date upon which an Alternate Base Rate

-62-

 

Loan is to be converted to a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such
conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. All or any part of
outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided
that (i) no Loan may be converted into a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) partial conversions shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans may only be converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day
of the applicable Interest Period. If the date upon which a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is to
be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from such last day
of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it
were an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

     (b) Any EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of an
Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at
least four (4) Business Days prior irrevocable notice of such election (or the Initial
Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable
written notice of such election in the case of EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in
Dollars); provided, that no EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when
any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such Loan
shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable
Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower shall fail to give timely notice of
an election to continue any EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan, or the continuation of any
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is not permitted hereunder, such EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest
Period with respect thereto.

     Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees.

     (a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to any Alternate Base Rate Loan based on
the Prime Rate or any Alternative Currency borrowing denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual
days elapsed. Subject to the foregoing, all fees, interest and all other amounts payable
hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed.
The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Initial Borrower and the
Lenders of each determination of EURIBOR and a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the
determination thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in
the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on
which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Initial Borrower and the Lenders of the
effective date and the amount of each such change.

-63-

 

     (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Credit Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the
Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of
the Initial Borrower, deliver to the Initial Borrower a statement showing the computations
used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.

     (c) It is the intent of the Lenders and the Credit Parties to conform to and contract
in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements
between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this
paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency
(including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Loan), shall
the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Credit
Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible
under Applicable Law. If, from any possible construction of this Credit Agreement or any
other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious
amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such
interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under
Applicable Law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any
Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans
under Applicable Law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum
nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest
shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the
Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrower or the other payor
thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid
principal amount of the Loans. The right to demand payment of the Loans or any other amount
required to be paid hereunder does not include the right to receive any interest which has
not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or
receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to
be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated
term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on
account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by
Applicable Law.

     Section 2.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

     (a) Allocation of Payments Before Event of Default. Each borrowing of
Revolving Loans and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata
according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Commitment reduction
pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(a) shall be pro rata among the
Non-Extending Lenders (based on the aggregate

-64-

 

Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders at such time), (ii) any Commitment reduction
pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(b) shall be pro rata among the
applicable Class of Lenders (based on the aggregate Commitments of such Class of Lenders at
such time) and (iii) any Commitment reduction pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(ii)(c)
shall be pro rata among the Extending Lenders (based on the aggregate
Commitments of the Extending Lenders at such time). Each payment under this Credit
Agreement or any Note shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5, second, to interest then due and owing
hereunder and under the Notes and, third, to principal then due and owing hereunder
and under the Notes. Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.5
shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and
owing (except as to the Fronting Fees and the Issuing Lender Fees). Each optional
prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with
Section 2.7(a); provided, that prepayments made pursuant to Section
2.15 shall be applied in accordance with such Section. Each mandatory prepayment on
account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.7(b). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of
principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except
as provided in Section 2.18(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified on Section
9.2 in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due. All
amounts owing under this Credit Agreement are payable in Dollars; provided,
however, that the principal of, and interest on, any Revolving Loan denominated in
any Alternative Currency (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9), breakage
costs relating to, and participations in, and reimbursements of drawings under Letters of
Credit denominated in, any Alternative Currency, shall only be payable in such Alternative
Currency. In addition, the cash collateralization of outstanding Letters of Credit
denominated in any Alternative Currency (when required under this Credit Agreement) shall be
in such Alternative Currency. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to
the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans) becomes due and payable
on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable
at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate
Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be
to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

     (b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the Commitments shall have
been terminated and the Loans and all other amounts under the Credit Documents shall have
become due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, all
amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account

-65-

 

of the Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the
Credit Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

     FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of the Administrative Agent
in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any
protective advances made by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or
pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents;

     SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;

     THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of each of the Lenders in
connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to
the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender;

     FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest;

     FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the payment
or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations;

     SIXTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations due and payable
hereunder or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

     SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing: (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order
provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the
Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the
proportion of the then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender) of amounts
available to be applied pursuant to clauses ”THIRD,” “FOURTH,” “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii)
to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FIFTH” above are
attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall
be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to
reimburse the Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit, and
(B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types
described in clauses “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section
2.12(b).

     Section 2.13. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 2.13(d), unless the Administrative Agent
shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the date a Loan is to be made by
such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not

-66-

 

intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the
Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such
Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Initial Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such
Lender or the 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 Administrative
Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable
rate for the applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing, and (ii) from a
Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars and
at the Alternative Base Rate with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency.

     (b) Except as provided in Section 2.13(d), unless the Administrative Agent
shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment
is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrower
does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower
has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such payment date
an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled
hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made
available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date
after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date
such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such
amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to the Federal
Funds Effective Rate with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars and at the Alternative
Base Rate with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency.

     (c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Initial Borrower or any
Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error.

     (d) On the date of any borrowing of a Revolving Loan in any Alternative Currency, the
Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower the proceeds of such
borrowing only upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent from

-67-

 

each Lender of such Lender’s pro rata portion of such borrowing in such
Alternative Currency. On the date that any payment of the principal of or interest on any
Revolving Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency is due, the Administrative Agent
shall make available to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata portion of such
payment only upon actual receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower of such
payment.

     Section 2.14. Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if (a) the Administrative Agent
shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate
means do not exist for ascertaining EURIBOR and/or LIBOR for any Currency for any Interest Period,
or (b) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error) that EURIBOR and/or the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans that the Borrower has
requested during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone
notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Initial Borrower, and the Lenders at
least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless the Initial
Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it
wishes to rescind or modify the request regarding such EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, any Loans that
were requested to be made as EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans in
the applicable Currency and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans shall remain as or be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans in the
applicable Currency. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans for the
Interest Periods so affected.

     Section 2.15. Illegality.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if the adoption of or any change
in any requirement of Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the
relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its
EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office to make or maintain EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans in any Currency as
contemplated by this Credit Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market through its
EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Initial Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of
such Lender hereunder to make or continue EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans in such Currency shall forthwith
be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which
gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for
such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law as Alternate Base Rate Loans. The
Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for

-68-

 

actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such
Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this Section 2.15 including, but not
limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order
to make or maintain its EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 submitted by such Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, to the Initial Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its
EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable
pursuant to this Section 2.15; provided, however, that such efforts shall
not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens
deemed by such Lender to be material.

     Section 2.16. Requirements of Law.

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

          (i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any
Letter of Credit, any participation therein or any application relating thereto, any
EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income
of such Lender);

          (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination
of EURIBOR or the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

          (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans or the Letters of Credit or the participations therein or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, the Borrower
shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably
deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to its EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans or
Letters of Credit.

     (b) Without prejudice to paragraph (a) (but without double-counting), if and so long as
any Lender is required by (i) the Bank of England or any other monetary or other authority
of the United Kingdom or (ii) the European Central Bank to make special deposits, to
maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such

-69-

 

Lender’s EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest
on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Cost Rate.

     (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
2.16 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Initial Borrower
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or EURIBOR/LIBOR
Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might
otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section 2.16;
provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such
Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be
material.

     (d) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change
in any requirement of Applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of
law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does
or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material,
then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as
being required to compensate it for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional
amounts payable under this Section 2.16 submitted by a Lender (which certificate
shall include a description of the basis for the computation), through the Administrative
Agent, to the Initial Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (e) The agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this
Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     Section 2.17. Indemnity.

     The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any
funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure
by the Borrower to pay the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance
with the terms hereof, (b) the failure of the Borrower to accept a borrowing after the Borrower has
given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) the failure of the Borrower to make any
prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (d)
the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is
not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto,

-70-

 

in each case including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or
fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans
hereunder. In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold each Lender harmless from any
loss, cost or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a result or consequence of (a) the
payment of any LOC Obligation denominated in Alternative Currency on a date other than the due date
thereof or (b) the payment of any Credit Party Obligation denominated in Alternative Currency in a
different Currency. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.17 submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Initial
Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days
following such default, prepayment or conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error. The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive termination of this Credit
Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     Section 2.18. Taxes.

     (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be, except as
provided in Section 2.18(b), made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or
by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such
payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a
Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction
in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any
subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with
respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so
levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such
additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this
Credit Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any
Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower
will furnish to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after the date the payment
of any Taxes is due pursuant to Applicable Law certified copies (to the extent reasonably
available and required by law) of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon
its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such
Lender.

     (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Initial Borrower and the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or
transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(c)
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such
assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) if
the Lender is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, two

-71-

 

accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,
W-8ECI or W-8IMY (or successor forms) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete
exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this
Credit Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or
W-8IMY as set forth in clause (i) above, or (A) a certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit L (any such certificate, a “2.18 Certificate”), and (B) two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or
successor form) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Credit Agreement
and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Initial
Borrower’s request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous
certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such
other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such
Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with
respect to payments under this Credit Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Section 2.18(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding
sentence, (1) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law,
to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder
for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined
in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that
such Lender has not provided to the Initial Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms
that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding, and (2) the Borrower
shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 2.18(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be
made to a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not
provided to the Initial Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided
to the Initial Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(b), or (II) in the case of a
payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the
extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere
in this Section 2.18, the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify
each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.18(a) (without regard to the
identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any
amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a
result of any changes after the Closing Date in any Applicable Law, treaty, governmental
rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the
deducting or withholding of Taxes.

     (c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to
change its Domestic Lending Office or EURIBOR/LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to
avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this
Section 2.18; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause
the imposition

-72-

 

on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such
Lender in its sole discretion to be material.

     (d) If the Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.18
with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of tax
or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment; provided that such
Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an
excess foreign tax credit position, or (ii) it believes in good faith, in its sole
discretion, that claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In
the event that such Lender receives such a refund or credit, such Lender shall pay to the
Initial Borrower an amount that such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax
benefit obtained by such Lender as a result of such payment by the Borrower. In the event
that no refund or credit is obtained with respect to the Borrower’s payments to such Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.18, then such Lender shall upon request provide a
certification that such Lender has not received a refund or credit for such payments.
Nothing contained in this Section 2.18 shall require a Lender to disclose or detail
the basis of its calculation of the amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the
basis of its determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this
Section 2.18 to the Borrower or any other party.

     (e) The agreements in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this
Credit Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     Section 2.19. Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties.

     (a) In addition to its other obligations under Section 2.3, the Borrower hereby
agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Issuing Lender and each Lender harmless from
and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Issuing Lender or such Lender may
incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any
Letter of Credit, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a
Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any
present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or
omissions, herein called “Government Acts”).

     (b) As between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender and each Lender, the Borrower shall
assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary
thereof. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any Lender shall be responsible: (i) for the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by
any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even
if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of

-73-

 

a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a
Letter of Credit; (iv) for 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) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) for any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or any Lender, including, without
limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the
vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

     (c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or any Lender,
under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuing
Lender or such Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower. It is the intention of
the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and
indemnify the Issuing Lender and each Lender against any and all risks involved in the
issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower,
including, without limitation, any and all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful
or wrongful, of any Government Authority. The Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall not, in
any way, be liable for any failure by the Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing
under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the
control of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders.

     (d) Nothing in this Section 2.19 is intended to limit the reimbursement
obligation of the Borrower contained in Section 2.3(d) hereof. The obligations of
the Borrower under this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Credit
Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit
shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders to
enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19,
the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing Lender or any Lenders in
respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Lender or such Lender arising out of the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender (including action not taken by
the Issuing Lender or such Lender), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or
pursuant to arbitration.

     Section 2.20. Extension of Commitment Termination Date.

     Prior to March 14, 2008, Initial Borrower may extend the Commitment Termination Date (as
defined in this Credit Agreement on March 14, 2008) to a date that is not later than twelve (12)
months after the then-effective Commitment Termination Date, no more than one time, upon: (a)
delivery of a Facility Extension Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the
“Facility Extension Request”) to Administrative Agent; (b) payment to Administrative Agent
for

-74-

 

the benefit of the Lenders of a facility extension fee equal to twenty basis points (0.20%) on
the then-existing Committed Amount (i.e., 0.20% times the Committed Amount); and (c) payment by
Borrower of all fees and expenses to Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the extent then due.
Such extension shall be evidenced by delivery of written confirmation of the same by Administrative
Agent to Initial Borrower; provided, that:

     (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

     (ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Credit Agreement shall be
true and correct on and as of the Facility Extension Request as if made on and as of such
date (or, if any such representation and warranty is expressly stated to have been made as
of a specific date, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such
specific date).

     Section 2.21. Replacement of Lenders.

     If Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section
2.16 or Section 2.18, then Initial Borrower may within sixty (60) days thereafter
designate another bank or financial institution which is acceptable to Agent in its reasonable
discretion (such other bank or financial institution being called a “Replacement Lender”)
to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or
warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and
all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under
this Credit Agreement (all such amounts shall only be payable in the Currency in which they are
owed under this Agreement), and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon
such purchase and assumption (pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement), such Lender shall no
longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to
indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and
assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrower hereunder, and the Replacement
Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder. Nothing in this
Section 2.21 shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay additional
amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.18.

     Section 2.22. Additional Limitations on CSF as Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to Section 2.3(h)), in no event shall
any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit be issued to, or for the account of, CSF if the Guaranty
Agreement is not in full force and effect with respect to the Initial Borrower and CSI.

     Section 2.23. Several Liability of the Borrower. Without limiting the obligations of
the Initial Borrower or CSI as a guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement or of CSF as a Guarantor
under the Guaranty in Article X hereof, each Borrower shall be severally (and not jointly) liable
for any and all of the Revolving Loans made directly to it as a Borrower, and Letters of Credit
issued for the actual account of it as a Borrower.

-75-

 

     Section 2.24. Currency Conversion of Loans. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.9, in no event shall the Currency in which any outstanding Alternate Base Rate
Loan or EURIBOR/LIBOR Rate Loan is denominated be changed or converted into another Currency
(including, without limitation, if any such Loan is converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or
LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.10).

     Section 2.25. Additional Repayments of Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article II, in no event shall: (i) the Advances Outstanding of any Class of
Lenders exceed the aggregate Committed Amount of such Class of Lenders then in effect, (ii) the
Advances Outstanding of any Lender exceed the aggregate Commitment of such Lender, (iii) with
regard to any Class of Lenders, the sum of such Class of Lenders’ share of outstanding Revolving
Loans plus such Class of Lenders’ Commitment Percentage of outstanding Swingline Loans plus such
Class of Lenders’ Commitment Percentage of LOC Obligations exceed such Class of Lenders’ Commitment
Percentage of the aggregate Committed Amount and (iv) with regard to any Lender individually, the
sum of such Lender’s share of outstanding Revolving Loans plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage
of outstanding Swingline Loans plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of LOC Obligations exceed
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate Committed Amount. On the date of any
reduction in the Committed Amount of any Class of Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6 prior to the date
on which the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders have been terminated and the Credit Party
Obligations of the Non-Extending Lenders have been paid in full (other than unasserted contingent
indemnification obligations), the Initial Borrower shall also pay or repay Advances Outstanding of
such Class of Lenders in an amount required, after giving effect to such reduction, so that the
ratio of the aggregate Advances Outstanding to Commitments of such Class of Lenders equals the
ratio of the aggregate Advances Outstanding to Commitments of the other Class of Lenders

     Section 4.3. Binding Effect. This Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of each Credit Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the Notes and the
other Credit Documents, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Credit Agreement, will

will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock,
for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry

considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors

that might cause any Credit Document to violate any regulation of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

At all times on and after January 15, 2009, the Agent’s Liens in such Available Assets (or in the

threatened. The hours worked by and payment made to employees of the Credit Parties and each
Subsidiary of the Credit Parties have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any
other applicable federal, state or foreign law dealing with such matters, except in such instances
in which the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.21. Patents, Trademarks, Etc. To the best of their knowledge, the Credit
Parties and each Subsidiary of the Credit Parties owns, or is licensed to use, all patents,
trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes, service marks and rights
with respect to the foregoing that are (a) necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses
as currently conducted, and (b) material to the businesses, financial condition, operations, or
properties, of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole. To the Credit Parties
knowledge, the use of such patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how,
processes and rights with respect to the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, does not infringe

Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.22. Tax Shelter Regulations. Borrower does not intend to treat the Loans
and advances and related transactions as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of

inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof. If
Borrower so notifies Administrative Agent, Borrower acknowledges that one or more of the Lenders
may treat its Revolving Loans and/or its interest in Swingline Loans as part of a transaction that
is subject to Treasury Regulation 301.6112-1, and that such Lender or Lenders, as applicable, will
maintain the lists and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

any Credit Document to which the Credit Parties are a party, have been obtained.

     Section 4.24. Selection Procedures. No procedures believed by the Credit Parties to
be adverse to the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders were utilized by the Credit
Parties in identifying and/or selecting the Investments that are part of the Available Assets and
Qualified Available Assets; it being understood that the selection procedures used by the Credit
Parties for the inclusion of Investments in one or more of its Securitization Transactions or other

financing facilities and which are solely intended to obtain the most beneficial advance rates
thereunder and/or otherwise maximize the efficiency of such facilities shall not be deemed to be
adverse procedures for the purposes of this Section.

Borrower’s knowledge, any Affiliate of the Borrower or any Guarantor (i) is a Sanctioned Person, or

Persons or Sanctioned Entities. The proceeds of any Loan will not be used and have not been used
to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a
Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity.

     Section 4.28. REIT Status. Until the REIT Revocation Date, the Initial Borrower will:
(a) operate its business so as to satisfy all requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT, and will
not intentionally take any action that will cause Initial Borrower to fail to so qualify; (b)
maintain adequate records so as to comply with all record-keeping requirements relating to its

not have been dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter; or a condition shall exist by
reason of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a decree adjudicating that any such
Plan or Plans must be terminated.

     (i) Tax Lien. A federal tax lien shall be filed against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (including a Bank Subsidiary) of the Borrower under Section 6323 of the Code or a
lien of the PBGC shall be filed against the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including a Bank
Subsidiary) of the Borrower under Section 4068 of ERISA and in either case such lien shall
remain undischarged for a period of twenty-five (25) days after the date of filing except
when the amount or validity of such lien is currently being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been
provided on the books of the Borrower.

     (j) Change of Control. A Change of Control shall have occurred.

     (k) Pro Forma Compliance. If any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit
Party (a) takes any action to cause it to comply with Section 5.16(c), or (b) enters
into any transaction requiring reliance on the provisions of Section 5.24(d) or
Section 5.24(e), and, in any such case, the Credit Parties are not in pro
forma compliance with Section 5.32 both before and after giving effect to
such action or transaction.

     (l) REIT Termination. If the income taxes, withholding taxes, estimated taxes
and other taxes (as well as any associated interest and penalties) attributable to the
termination of the Initial Borrower’s REIT status (and payable in respect of the tax year
with respect to which such termination occurs) would result in the Credit Parties not being
in pro forma compliance with Section 5.32.

     (m) Failure of Credit Documents. This Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and
each Credit Party thereto or any Person acting by or on behalf of any Credit Party

-107-

 

shall deny or disaffirm such Person’s obligations under this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document.

     (n) Default under 2009-2012 Debt Issuance Documents. An event of default under
any of the documentation relating to any 2009-2012 Debt Issuance has occurred (after giving
effect to all applicable grace and cure periods), including, without limitation, to the
extent applicable, under any HY Debt Document).

     (o) Failure to have a Lien. Except to the extent permitted by the terms hereof
or thereof (including in connection with a disposition of the applicable Collateral in a
transaction permitted under this Agreement), if (i) the Security Agreement or any other
Credit Document (including, without limitation, the Pledge Agreement) that purports to
create a Lien, shall, for any reason, fail or cease to create a valid and perfected, first
priority Lien on the Collateral covered thereby (subject to Permitted Liens which by
operation of law or contract have priority over the Liens securing the Credit Party
Obligations) or (ii) any Credit Party shall deny or disaffirm the validity or perfection of
any such Lien.

     (p) HY Intercreditor Agreement. After the consummation of a secured 2009-2012
Debt Issuance, the HY Intercreditor Agreement ceases to be in full force and effect, is
declared to be null and void or unenforceable or is found to be invalid.

     Section 7.2. Acceleration; Remedies.

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, then, and in any such
event, (a) if such event is an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(f) above with
respect to any Credit Party, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the
Loans (with accrued interest thereon), and all other amounts under the Credit Documents (including
without limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities under Letters of Credit) shall
immediately become due and payable, and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative
Agent cash collateral as security for the LOC Obligations for subsequent drawings under then
outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the maximum amount which may be drawn under
Letters of Credit then outstanding, and (b) if such event is any other Event of Default, subject to
the terms of Section 8.5, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the written request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent shall, take any or all of the following actions: (i) by notice to the Initial Borrower
declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately
terminate; (ii) by notice of default to the Initial Borrower declare the Loans (with accrued
interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Credit Agreement and the Notes to be due
and payable forthwith and direct the Borrower to pay to the Administrative Agent cash collateral as
security for the LOC Obligations for subsequent drawings under then outstanding Letters of Credit
in an amount equal to the maximum amount of which may be drawn under Letters of Credit then
outstanding, to be paid in the Alternative Currency in which such Letters of Credit were issued,
whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; and/or (iii) exercise on behalf of the
Lenders all of its other rights and remedies under

-108-

 

this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and Applicable Law. Except as expressly
provided above in this Section 7.2, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of
any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Credit Parties.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     Section 8.1. Appointment.

     Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wachovia as the Administrative Agent of
such Lender under this Credit Agreement, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Wachovia, as
the Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Credit Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Credit Agreement, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender acknowledges that the Credit
Parties may rely upon action taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Credit Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

     Section 8.2. Delegation of Duties.

     The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Credit Agreement by or
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may appoint one of its affiliates as its
agent to perform the functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder relating to the advancing of
funds to the Borrower and distribution of funds to the Lenders and to perform such other related
functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder as are reasonably incidental to such functions.

     Section 8.3. Exculpatory Provisions.

     Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or
omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Credit Agreement (except
for its or such Person’s own gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in
any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Credit Agreement or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received

-109-

 

by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Credit Agreement or for the
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any of the Credit
Documents or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain
or to inquire as to the observance or performance by any Credit Party of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Credit Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of the any Credit Party.

     Section 8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

     (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit,
letter, telecopy, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good
faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation,
counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes unless an executed Commitment Transfer Supplement has
been filed with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.6(c) with respect to
the Loans evidenced by such Note. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it
shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under any of the Credit Documents in accordance with a request of
the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as may be required under this Credit Agreement,
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section
3.1, each Lender that has signed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented
to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required
thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

     Section 8.5. Notice of Default.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from
a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the
Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to

-110-

 

such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders;
provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Credit
Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent or upon
the authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be.

     Section 8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

     Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representation
or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of any Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative
Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Credit Party and made its own decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit
Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders
by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the
Borrower or any other Credit Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent
or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

     Section 8.7. Indemnification.

     The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing
Lender in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably
according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification
is sought under this Section 8.7, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment
of the Notes or any Reimbursement Obligation) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline

-111-

 

Lender in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline
Lender under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement
and payment of the Notes, any Reimbursement Obligation and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     Section 8.8. The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity.

     The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Loans made or renewed by it and any
Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit
Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent,
and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.

     Section 8.9. Successor Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice to the Initial Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign
as Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents or if the
Administrative Agent enters or becomes subject to receivership, then the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor
agent shall be approved by the Initial Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whereupon such successor
administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent,
and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent effective upon
such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Credit Agreement or any holders of
the Notes. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall have the right, on behalf of the Lenders, to appoint a
successor administrative agent, which successor shall be approved by the Initial Borrower (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing; provided, that, such successor administrative agent has minimum
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no successor administrative agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative

-112-

 

Agent within sixty (60) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of
resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective
and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above. After
any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the indemnification
provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this
Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement.

     Section 8.10. Other Agents.

     None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this
Credit Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent,” “book manager,” “book
runner,” “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right (except
as expressly set forth herein), power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Credit Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such.
Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has
not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to
enter into this Credit Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

     Section 8.11. Collateral Matters.

     (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole
discretion, to release any Collateral or any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination
of all of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Credit
Party Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that
is permitted to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of under this Agreement or any
other Credit Document, (iii) that is owned by a Guarantor that is permitted to be released
under this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, or (iv) constituting property in which
the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time the Agent’s
Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time,
the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.11; provided, however,
that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such
release on terms that, in Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose Agent to liability or
create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without
recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect, or impair the Credit Party Obligations or any Liens (other than those
expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Credit Party in respect of) all
interests retained by any Credit Party, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which
shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Subject to the foregoing proviso,
Agent further agrees that, in connection with

-113-

 

any transaction described in the foregoing clauses (i) — (iv) and as soon as is
reasonably practicable after its receipt of a written request from the Initial Borrower
specifying in reasonable detail the Collateral proposed to be released in connection with
such transaction and the basis for such release, it will execute and deliver to the Initial
Borrower (at the Initial Borrower’s sole cost and expense) such collateral release
documentation as the Initial Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such release;
provided that prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, such release no
Default or Event of Default is in existence.

     (b) The Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure
that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Credit Parties or is cared for, protected, or
insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently
or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Credit Documents, it being understood
and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related
thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner
it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral
in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability
whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

     (c) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Initial Borrower, the Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any of the Security
Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies thereunder
may be exercised solely by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof. Each Lender hereby, on and after the effective date of the HY
Intercreditor Agreement, (i) agrees to be bound by the terms thereof and (ii) authorizes the
Agent and the collateral agent thereunder to take any and all action required to be taken by
such Person (or from refraining from taking any action) pursuant to the terms of the HY
Intercreditor Agreement.

     Section 8.12. Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its
agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s
Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9 of the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or
control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s
request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance
with Agent’s instructions.

     Section 8.13. Concerning the Collateral and Related Credit Documents. Each Lender
authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each

-114-

 

Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or
the other Credit Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set
forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 9.1. Amendments, Waivers and Release of Collateral.

     Neither this Credit Agreement, nor any of the Notes, nor any of the other Credit Documents,
nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1 nor may the Borrower or any Guarantor be
released except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required
Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may,
from time to time, (a) enter into with the Initial Borrower or any other Credit Party written
amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose
of adding any provisions to this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or
thereunder, or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in such
instrument, any of the requirements of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any
Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such
waiver and no such amendment, waiver, supplement, modification or release shall:

          (i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or
any installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder
(except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate set forth
in Section 2.9(b) which shall be determined by a vote of the Required Lenders) or
extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the
expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment (except for the extension of the Commitment
Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.20), in each case without the written consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby; or

          (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.1 or reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent of
all the Lenders; or

          (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VIII, without the written
consent of the Administrative Agent; or

          (iv) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty hereunder or any guarantor under the
Guaranty Agreement (except as otherwise permitted by Sections 5.9, 5.13 or
5.14), without the written consent of all the Lenders; or

-115-

 

          (v) cancel or forgive any amounts owing hereunder, without the written consent of all
of the Lenders affected thereby; or

          (vi) subordinate the Loans to any other Debt without the written consent of all of the
Lenders; or

          (vii) permit the Borrower to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Credit Agreement or other Credit Documents without the written consent of all of the
Lenders; or

          (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent,
approval or request of the Required Lenders or all Lenders without the written consent of
all of the Required Lenders or Lenders as appropriate; or

          (ix) amend, modify or waive the order in which Credit Party Obligations are paid in
Section 2.12(b) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby; or

          (x) amend or modify the provisions to the Credit Documents to permit the Borrower to
obtain borrowings in currencies other than Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euro, without the
written consent of all the Lenders affected thereby; or

          (xi) amend or modify the definition of Credit Party Obligations to delete or exclude
any obligation or liability described therein without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby; or

          (xii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the prior written
consent of all of the Lenders (except the release of substantially all of the Collateral in
connection with the sale of assets permitted hereunder to the extent that the Committed
Amount is reduced pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i) as a result of the sale of such
Collateral and the Credit Party Obligations are prepaid as required under Section
2.6(b)(iii)).

provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender under any Credit
Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent,
or the Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders
required hereinabove to take such action.

     Any such waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such release shall
apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower,
the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit
Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and

-116-

 

not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower shall not be
required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of Article VIII (other
than the provisions of Section 8.9); provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent will provide written notice to the Initial Borrower of any such amendment,
modification or waiver. In addition, the Borrower and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to modify this Credit Agreement by unilaterally amending or supplementing
Schedule 2.1(a) from time to time in the manner requested by the Initial Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to reflect any assignments or transfers of the Loans as
provided for hereunder; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall
promptly deliver a copy of any such modification to the Initial Borrower and each Lender.

     Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
circumstances as set forth above, (A) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on
any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the
provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersede the unanimous consent provisions set
forth herein, and (B) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash
collateral (excluding cash collateral securing LOC Obligations) in the context of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding.

     If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or release (a
“Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, the
consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required
is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being referred to as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at Initial
Borrower’s request, Agent may within sixty (60) days thereafter designate another bank or financial
institution which is acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion (such other bank or financial
institution being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of such
Non-Consenting Lender and such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or
warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender, for a purchase price equal to the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Non-Consenting Lender plus any accrued
but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Non-Consenting
Lender and any other amounts payable to such Non-Consenting Lender under this Credit Agreement, and
to assume all the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and
assumption (pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement), such Non-Consenting Lender shall no
longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to
indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Non-Consenting Lender prior to the date of such
purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrower hereunder, and the
Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender
hereunder.

provided, that, notices given by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or
Section 2.10 hereof shall be effective only upon receipt thereof by the Administrative
Agent.

     (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and
Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent;
provided, that, the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender
pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion,
agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided further,
that, approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.

     Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications
sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement
from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other
communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day
for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website
shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is

     Section 9.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

     No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or

-119-

 

privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

     Section 9.4. [Reserved].

     Section 9.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification.

          The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and WCM for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification
to, this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in
connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, together with the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to
the Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all
its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights
under this Credit Agreement, the Notes and any other Credit Document, including, without
limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the Lenders
(including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel of Administrative Agent), (c) on
demand, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and WCM harmless from,
any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting
from any delay in paying stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or
administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or
modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Credit Documents and any such
other documents, (d) defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
and their respective Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors,
from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages,
costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising
out of, or in any way relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Credit Parties, any Investment Loan
Subsidiary or the Properties, or any orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities
related thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s and consultant’s fees,
investigation and laboratory fees, response costs, court costs and litigation expenses, except to
the extent that any of the foregoing arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
party seeking indemnification therefor, and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the
Administrative Agent and WCM and their Affiliates, employees, officers and directors harmless from
and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to
the use, or proposed use, of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit, (f) to pay, indemnify, and
hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and WCM and their Affiliates, employees, officers and
directors harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever to the extent arising from third party claims with respect to the execution, delivery,

-120-

 

enforcement, performance and administration of the Credit Documents and any such other
documents; and (g) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Administrative Agent and WCM and
their Affiliates, employees, officers and directors harmless from and against, any and all other
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever to the extent arising from or related to any
Investment Loan Subsidiary (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”);
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the
Administrative Agent, WCM or any Lender with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, WCM or such Lender, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall
survive repayment of the Loans, Notes, LOC Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

     Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders.

     (a) This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their
respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents
without the prior written consent of each Lender.

     (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (each, a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note
held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender, or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder, in each case in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire amount of
such Lender’s obligations, Commitments or other interests). In the event of any such sale
by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under
this Credit Agreement to the other parties to this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall
remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Credit Agreement, and the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.
No Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participant shall have
rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the scheduled
maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon in which such Participant is
participating (except in connection with the extension of the Commitment Termination Date
pursuant to Section 2.20), or reduce the stated rate or extend the time of payment
of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased
post-default rate) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the
Participant’s participation 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
such participation, and that

-121-

 

an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without consent of a
Participant if such Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii)
release any material Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty or the Guaranty
Agreement (except as otherwise expressly permitted by Sections 5.9, 5.13 or 5.14), (iii)
consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations
under this Credit Agreement or (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral. In
the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this
Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (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) and all amounts payable by the
Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation;
provided, that, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.5 with respect
to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time;
provided, further, that, no Participant shall be entitled to receive
any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been
entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such
transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

     (c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with
Applicable Law, at any time, sell or assign with the consent of the Administrative Agent and
the Issuing Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Initial Borrower (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), to one or more additional banks, insurance companies or other financial
institutions or any funds investing in bank loans (each, a “Purchasing Lender”), all
or any part of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the Notes in
minimum amounts of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire amount of such Lender’s Commitment),
pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such
transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Initial Borrower, and delivered to the Administrative
Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however,
that consent from the Issuing Lender shall not be required if the Purchasing Lender has a
senior unsecured debt rating from any two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch equal to or higher than
A- (or A3 with respect to Moody’s); provided, further, that any sale or
assignment to another Lender or to an Affiliate of an existing Lender shall not require the
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Borrower. Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date
specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and
(ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment
Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in
the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of a
transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such transferor
Lender shall cease to be a party

-122-

 

hereto). Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Credit
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such
Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the
purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such
transferor Lender under this Credit Agreement and the Notes. On or prior to the Transfer
Effective Date specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Borrower, at its own
expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the Notes
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement new
Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by
it pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement and, unless the transferor Lender has not
retained a Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the order of the transferor Lender in an
amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the
Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes
surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the
Initial Borrower marked “cancelled”.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section
9.2 a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the
“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time.
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this
Credit Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Initial Borrower or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (e) Upon its receipt of a duly executed Commitment Transfer Supplement, together with
payment to the Administrative Agent by the transferor Lender or the Purchasing Lender
(except for any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender), as agreed between
them, of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 for each Purchasing Lender listed in
such Commitment Transfer Supplement and the Notes, if any, subject to such Commitment
Transfer Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Commitment Transfer
Supplement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) unless
Initial Borrower’s consent to such assignment is not required give prompt notice of such
acceptance and recordation to the Initial Borrower.

     (f) Each Credit Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or
Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all
financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its affiliates
which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of a Credit Party pursuant to this
Credit Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on

-123-

 

behalf of a Credit Party in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the
Borrower and its affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Credit Agreement, in each case
subject to Section 9.15.

     (g) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6 to a Person
which is not already a Lender hereunder and which 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 Initial Borrower and the Administrative
Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a 2.18
Certificate) described in Section 2.18.

     (h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any of its
rights under this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any right to payment of
principal and interest under any Note) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
Applicable Laws.

     Section 9.7. Set-off.

     (a) Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any
time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any
collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to
an Insolvency Event or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or
interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide
such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as
shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of
such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase
price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The
Borrowers and each other Credit Party agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of
another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation,
rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct
holder of such portion.

     (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender and its Affiliates shall have the
right, without prior notice to the Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, any such notice
being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held by or owing to such
Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or

-124-

 

the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or any part thereof in such
amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the Loans and other Credit Party
Obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to such Lender hereunder and claims
of every nature and description of such Lender against the Borrower and the other Credit
Parties, in any Currency, whether arising hereunder or, under any other Credit Document
provided by such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, as such Lender may
elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such
obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The aforesaid right of
set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower, any other Credit Party or
against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower or any
other Credit Party, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or any
other Credit Party, or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor,
notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such
Lender prior to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Initial Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off
and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

     Section 9.8. Table of Contents and Section Headings.

     The table of contents and the Section and subsection headings herein are intended for
convenience only and shall be ignored in construing this Credit Agreement.

     Section 9.9. Counterparts.

     This Credit Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Credit Agreement
on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed
to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Credit Agreement signed by
all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     Section 9.10. Effectiveness.

     This Credit Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all of the parties have
signed a copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and shall have delivered the same to
the Administrative Agent or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative
Agent written, telecopied or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been
signed and mailed to it.

     Section 9.11. Severability.

-125-

 

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

     Section 9.12. Integration.

     This Credit Agreement and the Notes, if any, represent the agreement of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, or
any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or
in the Notes, if any.

     Section 9.13. Governing Law.

     This Credit Agreement and the Notes and the rights and obligations of the parties under this
Credit Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof (other
than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

     Section 9.14. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.

     Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York in New York County or of the
United States for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Credit
Agreement, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender accepts, for itself and in
connection with its Properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in
connection with this Credit Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available. Each
Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender irrevocably agrees that all service of
process in any such proceedings in any such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by
registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid and
return receipt requested, to it at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other
address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service
being hereby acknowledged by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to be effective and binding
service in every respect. Each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably
waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based
on the grounds of forum non conveniens, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any
such action or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any Lender to bring
proceedings against the Borrower in the court of any other jurisdiction.

     Section 9.15. Confidentiality.

-126-

 

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons agents,
advisors and other representatives to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of
its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and
its obligations, (g) with the written consent of the Initial Borrower or (h) to the extent such
Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or
(y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

     For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of 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 Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 9.15, with respect to that
Information which constitutes customer or consumer information with the meaning of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), 15 USC Section 6801 et seq. and which is marked
conspicuously “Customer Information” (“Customer Information”), the parties acknowledge each
Bank Subsidiary has a responsibility as a financial institution to keep Customer Information
strictly confidential. Notwithstanding any provision in this Credit Agreement to the contrary,
Customer Information shall be kept confidential during the term of this Credit Agreement and after
its termination. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lender agree to use
Customer Information only for the purposes for which it was shared to them by Initial Borrower
and/or, as applicable, its Subsidiaries (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries), and not to disclose
Customer Information or make it available to any Person for any reason whatsoever other than as
required by law, subpoena, regulation or by any regulatory authority or as otherwise permitted
under the GLBA or the implementing regulations. Any Person required

-127-

 

to maintain the confidentiality of Customer 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 Customer Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information.

     Section 9.16. Acknowledgments.

     The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each
Credit Document;

     (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with
or duty to the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this
Credit Agreement and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand,
and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and
creditor; and

     (c) no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

     Section 9.17. Waivers of Jury Trial; Waiver of Consequential Damages.

     THE BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND
FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. The Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders agree not to assert any claim against any other party to this Credit Agreement or any
of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, Affiliates or agents, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise
relating to any of the transactions contemplated herein.

     Section 9.18. PATRIOT Act Notice.

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

     Section 9.19. Judgment Shortfall.

-128-

 

     (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert
a sum owing hereunder in one Currency into another Currency, each party hereto agrees, to
the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be
that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the
first Currency could be purchased with such other Currency on the Business Day immediately
preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

     (b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or
any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a Currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the
Currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the
Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant
jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum due in accordance with this
Agreement to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable
Creditor against such loss and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds
the sum due in accordance with this Agreement to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement
Currency, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower. The
obligations of the Borrower and Applicable Creditor contained in this Section 9.19
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing
hereunder.

     Section 9.20. Return of Notes.

     In the event of (i) any termination in full by the Initial Borrower or CSF of all rights
with respect to the Commitment in accordance Section 2.6(a)(i) or 2.6(a)(ii), as applicable or (ii)
the delivery of any new Note in replacement of a previously issued Note, the applicable Lender
shall return to the Borrower any Notes previously issued to it relating to such terminated
Commitment or replaced Note, as applicable and such Notes shall be marked “cancelled.” In the event
that any Lender does not return its applicable Note or Notes as described in this Section 9.20
within forty-five (45) days after the written request of Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to
receive a lost note affidavit from such Lender including customary indemnifications reasonably
satisfactory to Borrower with respect to the applicable unreturned Note or Notes.

     Section 9.21. Most Favored Provisions.

     (a) If at any time any document or agreement with respect to any Debt regarding a 2009-2012
Debt Issuance contains any representation, event of default or informational, financial,
affirmative or negative covenant (including any definition used in or related to such
representations, covenants or events of default) that is either not provided for in any of the
Credit Documents, or is more favorable to the holders or other creditors under such Debt regarding
a 2009-2012 Debt Issuance or is more onerous to any Credit Party or any of their respective

-129-

 

Subsidiaries (each a “Most Favored Provision”) as compared to the representations,
Events of Default or covenants (including any definition used in or related to such
representations, Events of Default or covenants) binding on the Credit Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries that are provided for in the Credit Documents, then, unless otherwise agreed in
writing by the Majority Extending Lenders, each such Most Favored Provision shall, subject to
clause (b) below, be deemed to be automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement,
mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or therein, without any further action on the part of any of the Credit Parties or
any other Person being required; provided, however, that (1) in the case any
additional representation incorporated herein pursuant to this Section 9.21, such
representation shall be deemed made only at such time as such representation is made under any
documents or agreements relating to the 2009-2012 Debt Issuance, (2) in the event that any
additional or more burdensome covenant is incorporated herein pursuant to this Section
9.21, the existence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder with respect to such
incorporated covenant shall be determined according to the default notice and cure periods
applicable thereto under any document or agreement with respect to any Debt regarding a 2009-2012
Debt Issuance (but with the Administrative Agent being entitled to provide any required notices in
lieu of the applicable creditor or creditor representative under any document or agreement with
respect to any Debt regarding a 2009-2012 Debt Issuance, with (subject to Section 7.1) the
effect that no Default or Event of Default shall exist hereunder with respect to such covenant
until the applicable cure period, if any, has lapsed under such document or agreement and (3) the
provisions of this Section 9.21 shall not apply to (i) any interest, premium, fee or
indemnification obligations, registration rights, trustee matters or securities law obligations,
(ii) any mandatory prepayment events required under any document or agreement with respect to any
Debt regarding a 2009-2012 Debt Issuance relating to Collateral Proceeds or (iii) any requirements
relating to collateral that, if incorporated herein, would conflict with the requirements set forth
in the HY Intercreditor Agreement.

     (b) In addition, the Initial Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to the
Administrative Agent following any 2009-2012 Debt Issuance of any provision that the Initial
Borrower reasonably believes to constitute a Most Favored Provision, and each Credit Party agrees
promptly to enter into such documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to
evidence the provisions provided for in this Section 9.21. For the avoidance of doubt, if
the document or agreement with respect to the applicable 2009-2012 Debt Issuance containing the
Most Favored Provision is amended or modified to weaken or loosen such provision, such amendment or
modification shall not in any way amend or modify such provision under this Credit Agreement (which
provision in this Credit Agreement may only be amended in accordance with Section 9.1
hereof).

     Section 9.22. HY Intercreditor Agreement.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the issuance of any secured
2009-2012 Debt Issuance, the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder
is subject to the provisions of the HY Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be amended,
supplemented, modified or replaced from time to time.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTY

     Section 10.1. The Guaranty.

     In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and to extend credit
hereunder and thereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors
from the Extensions of Credit hereunder, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally
guarantee the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of any and all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
If any or all of the indebtedness becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor
unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or
their respective order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be
incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in collecting any of the Credit Party
Obligations. The word “indebtedness” is used in this Article X in its most comprehensive
sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower,
including specifically all Credit Party Obligations, arising in connection with this Credit
Agreement or the other Credit Documents, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred
or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or
unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time
reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Borrower may be liable
individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness may be or
hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be
or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. The guaranty set forth in this Article X is
continuing guaranty and is a guaranty of payment and is not merely a guaranty of collection.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit
Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or
federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such
Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law
(whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).

     Section 10.2. Bankruptcy.

     Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and
severally the payment of any and all Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders
whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 7.1(f), and unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money

-131-

 

of the United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the
Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to
be repaid to the Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not
been made.

     Section 10.3. Nature of Liability.

     The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or
other guaranty of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any such
Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall
be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any
other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a
guarantor or of any other party as to the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any
payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution,
termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Credit Party Obligations which the Administrative
Agent or such Lenders repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any
right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such
proceeding.

     Section 10.4. Independent Obligation.

     The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other
Guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against
each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or the Borrower and
whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 regarding revival of Credit Party Obligations,
the Guarantors’ joint and several liability with respect to the Credit Party Obligations shall not
obligate them to pay any Credit Party Obligations which have already been fully satisfied.

     Section 10.5. Authorization.

     Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender, without notice or
demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without
affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend,
increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of
the Credit Party Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Credit Agreement,
including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from
any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the

-132-

 

Credit Party Obligations and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply
such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in their discretion may determine, and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers,
Guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors.

     Section 10.6. Reliance.

     It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity
or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or
purporting to act on its behalf, and any Credit Party Obligations made or created in reliance upon
the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

     Section 10.7. Waiver.

     (a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i)
proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against
or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or
(iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power
whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any
defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full
of the Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations), including
without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower,
any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Credit Party
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Borrower other than payment in full of the Credit Party Obligations. The
Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the
Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale
is permitted by Applicable Law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to
the extent the Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full and all of the Commitments
have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such
election by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, even though such election
operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or
remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

     (b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests
and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest,
notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence,
creation or incurring of new or additional Credit Party Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes
all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial
condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Credit Party Obligations and the nature,

-133-

 

scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise
such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

     (c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation
which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders
against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower
owing to the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual,
statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other
Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time
as the Credit Party Obligations shall have been paid in full and all of the Commitments have
been terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to
enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders now have or may
hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any
part of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to
secure payment of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower until such time as the Credit
Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full
and all of the Commitments have been terminated.

     Section 10.8. Limitation on Enforcement.

     The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative
Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender shall have any right
individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that
such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders under the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree that this Guaranty may
not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors.

     Section 10.9. Confirmation of Payment.

     The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the indebtedness
and obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating
thereto, confirm to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that such indebtedness and
obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the
provisions of Section 10.2.

     Section 10.10. Limitation of Guaranty of CSF. Notwithstanding anything to contrary
contained herein, CSF shall not be deemed a Guarantor with respect to any and all indebtedness that
it owes to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as a Borrower hereunder (but shall continue to
be a Guarantor with respect to all other indebtedness).
