    2.    Exercise of
Warrants.

     

    2.1    Manner of
Exercise.

     

    (a) This
Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on
any Business Day from and after the Original Issue Date and at any time until
5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date.  Such exercise shall
be effectuated by submitting to the Company at its Designated Office (i) a
completed and duly executed written notice of the Holder's election to exercise
this Warrant (a "Notice of Exercise") (substantially in the form attached to
this Warrant as Annex
A) indicating the Warrant Shares then being purchased pursuant to such
exercise, together with this Warrant and (ii) payment to the Company of the
Warrant Price.  The date on which such delivery and payment shall have
taken place being sometimes referred to as the "Exercise Date."

     

    (b) Upon
receipt by the Company of such Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and
payment of the Warrant Price (in accordance with Section 2.1(c) hereof), the
Holder shall be entitled to receive as promptly as practicable, and in any event
within five Business Days thereafter, a certificate or certificates for Warrant
Shares so purchased in such denomination or denominations as the exercising
Holder shall reasonably request in the Notice of Exercise, registered in the
name of the Holder or, subject to Section 4 hereof, such other name as shall be
designated in the Notice of Exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction
of a share, as provided in Section 2.3 hereof.  If this Warrant shall
have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the
certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares being issued,
deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to
purchase the remaining Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant.  Such
new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this
Warrant.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such
certificate or certificates of Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been
issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein
shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all
purposes, as of the Exercise Date.

     

    (c) Payment
of the Warrant Price shall be made at the option of the Holder by one or more of
the following methods: (i) by delivery of a certified or official
bank

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    check or
by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such Warrant
Price payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by instructing the Company to
withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such Warrant Price, (iii) by
surrendering to the Company shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the
Holder with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such Warrant Price, or (iv)
any combination of the foregoing.  In the event of any withholding of
Warrant Shares or surrender of Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or
(iv) above where the number of shares whose Fair Market Value is equal to the
Warrant Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or
surren­dered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share
and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder based on the incremental
fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an
amount determined in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.

     

    2.2    Payment of
Taxes.  All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of
any stockholder of the Company and free and clear of all Liens.  The
Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other
governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issue or delivery
thereof.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax
or governmental charge which may be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
payable in respect of any Transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Warrant
Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Warrants to be exercised,
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person
request­ing such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax,
or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.

     

    2.3    Fractional
Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue a
fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant.  As to
any fraction of a share that the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights
under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled
to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount
in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one share
of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

     

    3.    Reservation and
Authorization of Common Stock.  The Company shall at all times
during the term of this Warrant reserve for issuance upon exercise of the then
outstanding balance of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as
shall be required for issuance of the Warrant Shares.  Before taking
any action that would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares
for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company
shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto,
as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction over such action.  If any Warrant Shares required to be
reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or
qualification with any Governmental Entity (other than under the Securities Act
or any state securities law) before such shares may be so issued, the Company
will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor
to cause such shares to be duly registered.  Before taking any action
that would cause an adjustment reducing the Exercise Price below the then par
value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the
Warrant or that would cause the

    number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant to exceed (when taken
together with all other Outstanding shares of Common Stock) the number Warrant
Shares that the Company is authorized to issue, the Company will take any
corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, is necessary in order that
the Company may validly and legally issue the full number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant at
such adjusted exercise price.

     

    4.    Transfer, Assignment,
Division, Combination, Mutilation or Loss of Warrant.

     

    4.1    Transfer or Assignment of
Warrant.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7
hereof, upon (a) surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its Designated
Office accompanied by a Form of Assignment annexed hereto as Annex B (each, a
“Form of Assignment”) duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any applicable
transfer tax, and (b) delivery of an opinion of counsel to the Holder reasonably
satisfactory to the Company to the effect that, in the opinion of such counsel,
the transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
(provided that no such opinion shall be required in the event of a Transfer to a
Permitted Transferee), the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a
new Warrant registered in the name of the assignee named in the Form of
Assignment at the address, and evidencing the right to purchase the shares of
Common Stock, specified in the Form of Assignment, and the Warrant represented
by this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

     

    4.2    Mutilation or Loss of
Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the
case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory
indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation
of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like
tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall
thereupon become void.

     

    4.3    Division and
Combination.  Subject to compliance with the applicable
provisions of this Warrant, this Warrant may be divided or combined with other
Warrants upon presentation hereof at the Designated Office, together with a
written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are
to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject
to compliance with the applicable provisions of this Warrant as to any transfer
which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to
be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

     

    4.4    Expenses.  The
Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense any new Warrant or
Warrants required to be issued hereunder.

     

    4.5    Maintenance of
Books.  The Company agrees to maintain, at the Desig­nated
Office, books for the registration and transfer of the Warrants.

     

    5.    Rights of the
Holder.  The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to
any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the
rights 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    of the
Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable
against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

     

    6.    Protection Against Dilution
and Other Adjustments.

     

    6.1    Adjustment of Number of
Shares Purchasable. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price as provided
in Sections 6.3 through 6.6 hereof, the Holders of the Warrants shall thereafter
be entitled to purchase upon the exercise thereof, at the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock (calculated
to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable on the exercise hereof immediately prior to such adjustment and
dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such
adjustment.

     

    6.2    Adjustment Upon Spin
Off.  If, at any time or from time to time after the Original
Issue Date, the Company shall spin off or otherwise divest itself of a part of
its business or operations or dispose of all or of a part of its assets in a
transaction in which the Company does not receive compensation for such
business, operations or assets, but causes securities of another entity (the
“Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to security holders of the Company, then the
Company shall cause (i) to be reserved a number of Spin Off Securities (the
"Reserved Spin Off Securities") equal to the number of Spin Off Securities that
would have been issued to the Holder had all of the Holder’s Outstanding
Warrants on the record date for determining the number of Spin Off Securities to
be issued to stockholders of the Company been exercised as of the close of
business on the trading day immediately before such record date, and (ii) to be
issued to the Holder on the exercise of all or any of the Outstanding Warrants,
a number of  Reserved Spin Off Securities equal to (x) the Reserved
Spin Off Securities multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the amount of the Outstanding Warrants then being exercised, and the
denominator of which shall be the amount of the Outstanding
Warrants.

     

    6.3    Upon Stock Dividends,
Subdivisions or Splits.  If, at any time or from time to time
after the Original Issue Date, the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding
is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or by a
subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, following the record
date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
stock dividend, or to be affected by such subdivision or split-up, the Exercise
Price shall be appropriately decreased by multiplying the Exercise Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
Outstanding immediately prior to, and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock Outstanding immediately after, such increase in
Outstanding shares.

     

    6.4    Upon Combinations or Reverse
Stock Splits.  If, at any time or from time to time after the
Original Issue Date, the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding is
decreased by a combination or reverse stock split of the Outstanding shares of
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, following
the record date to determine shares affected by such combination or reverse
stock split, the Exercise Price shall be appropriately increased by multiplying
the Exercise Price by a

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding
immediately prior to, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of
Common Stock Outstanding immediately after, such decrease in Out­standing
shares.

     

    6.5    Upon Reclassifications,
Reorganizations, Consolidations or Mergers.  If, at any time or
from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there is any capital
reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the stock of the Company
(other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no
par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision,
split-up or combination of shares), or any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another Person (where the Company is not the surviving
Person or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common
Stock), each Warrant shall after such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, or merger be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of
stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor Person
resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger, if any, to which the
holder of the Warrant Shares deliverable (immediately prior to the time of such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) upon exercise of such
Warrant would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation or merger.  The provisions of this clause shall
similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications,
consolidations, or mergers.  The Company shall not effect any such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Company) resulting
from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, shall
assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Holders of the
Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets, which, in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, such Holders shall be entitled to receive upon such
conversion.

     

    6.6    Upon Issuance of Common
Stock.  If, at any time or from time to time after the Original
Issue Date, the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock, options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options to purchase or
rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than
Excluded Stock, without consideration or for consideration per share less than
either (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or
(y) the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock immediately prior to
such issuance, then such Exercise Price shall forthwith be lowered to a price
equal to the price obtained by multiplying:

     

    (i) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Common Stock,
options, rights or securities by

     

    (ii) a
fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares
of Common Stock Outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior to such
issuance and (B) the number of additional shares of Common Stock which the
aggregate consideration for the number of shares of Common Stock so offered
would purchase at the greater of the Exercise Price  in effect
immediately prior to such issuance or the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock and (y) the denominator shall be the

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    number of
shares of Common Stock Outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately after
such issuance.

     

    6.7    Provisions Applicable to
Adjustments.  For purposes of any adjustment of the Exercise
Price pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof, the following provisions shall be
applicable:

     

    (i) In the
case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash in a public offering or private
placement, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor before deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions or placement fees
payable by the Company to any underwriter or placement agent in connection with
the issuance and sale thereof.

     

    (ii) In the
case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part
other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the
Valuation Amount as determined in accordance with the Appraisal
Procedure.

     

    (iii) In the
case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common
Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock, or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities (except for options to acquire Excluded
Stock):

     

    (A) the
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of
such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed
to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in
subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above), if any, received by the Company upon the
issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in
such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;

     

    (B) the
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon
the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall
be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities, options, or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the
Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any
cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the
minimum additional consideration,

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     if
any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such
securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration
in each case to be determined in the manner provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above);

     

    (C) on any
change in the number of shares or exercise price of Common Stock deliverable
upon exercise of any such options or rights or conversions of or exchanges for
such securities, other than a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions
thereof, the Exercise Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Exercise Price
as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such
options, rights or securities not converted prior to such change or options or
rights related to such securities not converted prior to such change been made
upon the basis of such change;

     

    (D) upon the
expiration of any options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock
which shall not have been exercised, the Exercise Price computed upon the
issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto),
and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be
recomputed as if the only additional shares of Common Stock issued were the
shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such
options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, and the
consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the
Company for the issue of the options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock that were exercised, plus the consideration actually received by
the Company upon such exercise; and

     

    (E) no
further adjustment of the Exercise Price adjusted upon the issuance of any such
options, rights, convertible securities or exchangeable securities shall be made
as a result of the actual issuance of Common Stock on the exercise of any such
rights or options or any conversion or exchange of any such
securities.

     

    6.8    Deferral in Certain
Circumstances.  In any case in which the provisions of this
Section 6 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately
after a record date of an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of
such event (a) issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record
date and before the occurrence of such event the shares of capital stock
issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event
and issuing to such Holder only the shares of

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    capital
stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustments, and
(b) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of
capital stock pursuant to Section 2.3 above; provided, however, that the
Company shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate instrument or due bills
evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares or such
cash.

     

    6.9    Appraisal
Procedure.  In any case in which the provisions of this Section
6 shall necessitate that the Appraisal Procedure be utilized for purposes of
determining an adjustment to the Exercise Price, the Company may defer until the
completion of the Appraisal Procedure and the determination of the adjustment
(a) issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after the date of the event
that requires the adjustment and before completion of the Appraisal Procedure
and the determination of the adjustment, the shares of capital stock issuable
upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event and
issuing to such Holder only the shares of capital stock issuable upon such
exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (b) paying to such Holder
any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share of capital stock pursuant to
Section 2.3 above; provided, however, that the
Company shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate instrument or due bills
evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares or such
cash.

     

    6.10    Exceptions.  This
Section 6 shall not apply to (a) securities offered to the public pursuant
to a public offering; (b) securities issued to employees or directors of the
Company pursuant to an employee stock option plan or stock incentive plan
approved by the Board of Directors; or (c) securities Outstanding as of the date
hereof (provided that the terms of such securities will not be modified in any
manner following the date hereof) (collectively, "Excluded Stock").

     

    6.11    Notice of Adjustment of
Exercise Price.  Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as
herein provided:

     

    (i) the
Company shall compute the adjusted Exercise Price in accor­dance with this
Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the treasurer or chief
financial officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and

a Permitted Transferee.  Each Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any
other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a
legend on the face thereof, in substantially the following form by which the
Holder (and any transferee thereof) shall be bound:

    10.    No Impairment; Regulatory
Compliance And Cooperation; Notice Of Expiration.  The Company
shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its charter
documents or through any reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other

of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist
in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as
may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against
impairment.

     

    11.    Miscellaneous.

     

    11.1    Successors and
Assigns. This Warrant shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the successors and assigns of  the Company, the Holder and their
respective successors and assigns.  The Holder's rights under this
Warrant may be assigned, in whole or in part, to (a) any Permitted Transferee,
and any Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes
hereunder or (b) any transferee of a Warrant, or, if

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    applicable,
any portion of a Warrant, that represents (x) the greater of (A) 10% of the
Warrant Shares exercisable by such transferor on the date of such transfer and
(B) 34,149 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) or (y) if
the transferor shall then hold Warrants representing less than 34,149 Warrant
Shares (subject to adjustment as set forth herein), all of the Warrants held by
such transferor, and any such transferee shall be deemed to be a Holder for all
purposes hereunder.

     

    11.2    Limitation on
Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue
pursuant to the Commitment Letter or any other documentation contemplated under
the Commitment Letter at an effective purchase price less than the greater of
book or market value of the Company's Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the date of the Commitment Letter equals 19.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately preceding the date of the
Commitment Letter (the "Issuable Maximum"), unless the Company obtains
shareholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq
Stock Market.  If, at the time any Holder requests an exercise of any
of the Warrants, the Actual Minimum (excluding any shares issued or issuable at
an effective purchase price in excess of the greater of book or market value of
the Company's Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of
the Commitment Letter) exceeds the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not
previously obtained the required shareholder approval), then the Company shall
issue to such Holder requesting such exercise a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the Issuable Maximum.  The Company shall not be obligated to
seek stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock
Market and shall not be in breach under this Warrant Agreement, the Commitment
Letter or any other documentation contemplated under the Commitment Letter for
failure to issue securities as a result of its failure to obtain shareholder
approval as contemplated hereby.  For purposes hereof, "Actual
Minimum" shall mean, as of any date, the maximum aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock then issued or potentially issuable in the future pursuant to the
Commitment Letter or any other documentation contemplated under the Commitment
Letter, without giving effect to any limits on the number of shares of Common
Stock that may be owned by a Holder at any one time.

     

    11.3    Designated
Office.  As long as any of the Warrants remain Outstanding, the
Company shall maintain an office or agency, which may be the principal executive
offices of the Company (the "Desig­nated Office"), where the Warrants may be
presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as
provided in this Warrant.  Such Designated Office shall initially be
the office of the Company at 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 408, New York, New York
10170.  The Company may from time to time change the Designated Office
to another office of the Company or its agent within the United States by notice
given to all registered Holders at least 10 Business Days prior to the effective
date of such change.

     

    11.4    Supplements and Amendments;
Whole Agreement.  This Warrant may be amended or supplemented
only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.  This
Warrant, the Commitment Letter and the Registration Rights Agreement contain the
full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    and
thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or
understandings other than expressly contained herein and therein.

     

    11.5    Governing Law; Jurisdiction;
Waiver Of Jury Trial.  The internal laws, and not the laws of
conflicts (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State
of New York), of New York shall govern the enforceability and validity of this
Warrant, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the rights and
duties of the Company.  Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to
enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection
with, this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in any
federal or state court located in the County and State of New York, and the
Company hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the
appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding
and irrevo­cably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action
or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.  Process in any such suit, action or proceeding
may be served on the company anywhere in the world, whether within or without
the jurisdiction of any such court.  The Company hereby irrevocably
waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of
or related to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    11.6    Remedies.  Each
Holder of Warrants, in addition to being entitled to exercise its rights granted
by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance
of its rights provided under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and
shall  waive, in an action for specific performance, the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.

     

    11.7    Limitation of
Liability.  No provision hereof and no enumeration herein of
the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability
of such Holder to pay the Exercise Price for any Warrant Shares other than
pursuant to an exercise of this Warrant or any liability as a stockholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.

     

    11.8    Severability.  Wherever
possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as
to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Warrant.

     

    11.9    Descriptive
Headings.  Descriptive headings of the several sections of this
Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the
meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE II

TERM LOAN CREDIT FACILITY

     Section 2.01 Term Loan.

     On the Closing Date, each of the Lenders severally agrees to make its portion of a term loan
(in the amount of its respective Term Loan Commitment) to the Borrower in a single advance, in an
aggregate principal amount of THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($300,000,000) (the “Term
Loan”). The Term Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a combination
thereof, as the Borrower may request; provided that with respect to a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan borrowed on the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent must receive a funding indemnity letter
at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Term Loan Borrowing in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Term
Loan may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate upon the initial funding of
the Term Loan.

     Section 2.02 Term Loan Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Term Loans.

     (a) Each Term Loan Borrowing, conversion of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must
be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Term Loan
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in

21

 

Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate
Loans and (ii) on the requested date of any Term Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each
telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Term Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Term Loan
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except
as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c) each Term Loan Borrowing of or
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple
of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Term Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall
specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Loan Borrowing, a conversion of Term
Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the
requested date of the Term Loan Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Term Loans to be borrowed,
converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Term Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term
Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Term Loan in a Term Loan Notice
or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to Base Rate Loans. Any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If
the Borrower requests a Term Loan Borrowing, a conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency
Rate Loans in any such Term Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

     (b) Following receipt of a Term Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Term Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to
Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Term Loan
Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Term Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Term Loan Notice.

     Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01,
the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds
as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each
case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent (and reasonably
acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless
the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in

22

 

connection
therewith. During the existence of a Default, no Term Loans may be requested as, converted
to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of
America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.

     (e) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type
to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more
than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Term Loans.

     Section 2.03 Prepayments.

     (a) Voluntary Prepayments of Term Loans.

     The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from
time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or
penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to any
date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (ii) on the date of prepayment of
Base Rate Loans; (b) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof;
and (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. To the extent that the Borrower
elects to prepay the Term Loan, amounts prepaid under this section shall be applied
to the remaining principal installments thereof as the Borrower may elect (or, if
the Borrower does not make an election, such prepayments shall be applied ratably to
the remaining principal amortization payments). Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Term Loans to be prepaid and,
if Eurocurrency Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Term Loans.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such
prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable
on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall
be applied to the Term Loans of the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Percentages.

23

 

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments of Term Loans.

     (i) Dispositions. After any prepayments required under the Existing
Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as hereafter provided in
an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of all Dispositions
(other than Permitted Transfers) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not
reinvested in Eligible Assets within 360 days of the date of such Disposition (or
the Borrower has not entered into a binding agreement to reinvest such Net Cash
Proceeds with 360 days of the date of such Disposition, so long as such transaction
is consummated with 180 days after the date of such binding agreement). Any
prepayment pursuant to this clause (i) shall be applied as set forth in clause (ii)
below.

     (ii) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be
paid pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be applied to the remaining
principal amortization payments as the Borrower may elect (or, if the Borrower does
not make an election, such prepayments shall be applied ratably to the remaining
principal amortization payments), first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurocurrency
Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under
this Section 2.03(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise
without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal
amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

     (iii) Eurocurrency Prepayment Account. If the Borrower is required to
make a mandatory prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans under this Section
2.03(b), so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall have the
right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to such
mandatory prepayment with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account
maintained (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any
amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
prepayment of such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of
the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods
applicable thereto or, sooner, at the election of the Administrative Agent, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so
deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in cash equivalents maturing
on or prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will
be applied to prepay such Eurocurrency Rate Loans; any interest earned on such cash
equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit
with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such cash equivalents to
the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the
deposited amounts may not be reduced.

24

 

     Section 2.04 Repayment of Term Loans.

     The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in nineteen (19)
consecutive quarterly installments on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the table below
(provided, however, if such payment date is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the
next preceding Business Day) and one (1) installment on the Maturity Date in an amount equal to the
aggregate of all Term Loans outstanding on such date; (as such installments may hereafter be
adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.03), unless accelerated
sooner pursuant to Section 8.02:

     Section 2.05 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at
a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

25

 

     (i) If any amount of principal of any Term Loan is not paid when due (without
regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.

     (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Term Loan) payable by the
Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest until paid at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to
the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

     (b) Interest on each Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.
Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and
after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law.

     Section 2.06 Fees.

     The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fee referred to in
Section 4 of the Fee Letter in the amount and at the times specified therein. Such fee shall be
fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

     Section 2.07 Computation of Interest and Fees; Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

     (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Bank
of America’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the
basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on
each Term Loan for the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or
any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid, provided
that any Term Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section
2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

     (b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Parent or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated
Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Parent as of any applicable date was incorrect and (ii) a proper
calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher

26

 

pricing for such period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Lenders, within five Business Days following demand by the Administrative
Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to
the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further
action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of
interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees
actually paid for such period; provided, that the failure to have paid such amount at the
time it would have been due had the calculation been correct shall not constitute a Default or
Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) to the extent that such amount is paid by the
Borrower within five Business Days following demand by the Administrative Agent. This paragraph
shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under
Section 2.05 or under Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this
paragraph shall survive the termination of the Term Loan Commitments and the repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder.

     Section 2.08 Evidence of Debt.

     The Term Loan Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts
or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course
of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender
shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Term Loan Borrowings made by
the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record
or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request
of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver
to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Term Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its
Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Term
Loans and payments with respect thereto.

     Section 2.09 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

     (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is
owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due
under this Agreement be made in the United States. The Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein)
of such payment in like funds as received

27

 

by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to
be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be
made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

     (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of
any Term Loan Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Term Loan Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section
2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Term
Loan Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in
the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent
for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Term Loan Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in such Term Loan
Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent.

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

     A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any
amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

28

 

     (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Term Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in
the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available
to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Term
Loan Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as
received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

     (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Term Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and
not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Term Loan or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender
of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Term Loan, to purchase its participation
or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

     (e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Term Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Term Loan
in any particular place or manner.

     Section 2.10 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

     If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Term Loans made by it resulting in
such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Term Loans or
participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof
as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Term Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans and other
amounts owing them, provided that:

     (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent
of such recovery, without interest; and

     (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

29

 

     Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     Section 3.01 Taxes.

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

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

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

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

30

 

return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent.

     (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower
is resident for tax purposes, or pursuant to any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a
party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to
the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall
deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements.

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

     (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

     (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any
subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto),

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

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

31

 

     Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain
forms and documents to establish each Lender’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each
Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and
in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing
authorities under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender,
as are required under such Laws to confirm such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption
from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender outside of the U.S. by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish
such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall
promptly (i) notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or
render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be
reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement
of applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for
taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Additionally, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably
request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and
forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed
and completed by the Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative
Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of
Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such
jurisdiction.

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

32

 

     Section 3.02 Illegality.

     If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable
Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars
in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or
to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Borrower shall, upon written demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to
such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency
Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest
on the amount so prepaid or converted.

     Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.

     If after the date hereof the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with
any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar
deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the
applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent
will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to
make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon
the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a
request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

     Section 3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If, after the date hereof,:

     (i) Any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or

33

 

participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the
Eurocurrency Rate);

     (ii) Any Change in Law shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurocurrency Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except
for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such
Lender); or

     (iii) Any Change in Law shall impose on any Lender or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency
Loans made by such Lender or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan),
the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the
case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be required to be
delivered to the Borrower as a condition to the obligations of the Borrower under such
subsections, shall set forth a calculation by a senior officer of such Lender in reasonable
detail and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months
prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to
such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim

34

 

compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

     (e) Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each
Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently
known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of
each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such
Term Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on
which interest is payable on such Term Loan, provided the Borrower shall have
received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such
additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days
from receipt of such notice.

     Section 3.05 Compensation for Losses.

     Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss,
cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Term Loan other than a
Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Term Loan
(whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

     (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Term Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Term Loan other than a Base
Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

     (c) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, but only as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 10.13;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds
obtained by it to maintain such Term Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any loss of the
Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans). The Borrower shall also pay any
customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the
foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this
Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made
by it at the Eurocurrency Base Rate used in determining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Term

35

 

Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a
comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in
fact so funded.

     Section 3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding
or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the
need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case,
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

     Section 3.07 Survival.

     All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of
the Term Loan Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

that the Borrower and each Guarantor is validly existing, in good standing and
qualified to engage in business in each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification,
except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have

     (e) No Default shall exist, or would result from the Term Loan Borrowing or from the
application of the proceeds thereof.

     (f) The Closing Date shall have occurred on or before June 30, 2008.

     Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 9.04, for purposes of
determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 4.01, each Lender that
has signed this 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 reasonably acceptable or reasonably satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its
objection thereto.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (b)
has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals to (i) own its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver
and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (c) is duly
qualified and is licensed and in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its

qualification or license; except in the case referred to in clause (a) above with respect to
Immaterial Subsidiaries only and in each case referred to in clause (b)(i) or (c), to the extent
that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such
Person is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational

proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance
with GAAP. To the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Parent or the Borrower, there is no

tax sharing agreement with any Person that is not a Subsidiary.

     Section 5.11 ERISA Compliance.

     (a) Each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and
other Federal or state Laws, except where the failure to comply with such
provisions would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each

determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is either currently
being processed by the IRS with respect thereto or will be timely filed within applicable
deadlines, and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would
prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification, except where the failure to qualify would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each ERISA
Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the

actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no

occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability that, either individually or

due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA) that, either individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) neither the
Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability
(and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA,
would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a
Multiemployer Plan that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that would be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of
ERISA that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.14 Disclosure.

     No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing
or orally) by a Responsible Officer on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this
Agreement, hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished or made available publicly) contains any material misstatement of
fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect
to projected financial information, the Parent represents only that such information was prepared
in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood
that the projected financial information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond the Parent’s control, and that no assurance can be given that any
projections will be realized).

     Section 5.15 Compliance with Laws.

     Each of the Parent, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material
respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees
applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of
Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in
the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 5.16 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc.

     Each of the Parent, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of
the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises,

Lender”). The Borrower and the Parent hereby agree that (x) all Borrower Materials that are to be made
available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; and (y) the
Administrative Agent and BAS shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked
“PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public
Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower shall be under any obligation to mark the

Subsidiary, including pursuant to any applicable Environmental Laws, in each case that has
resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

45

 

with respect thereto. Each notice pursuant to Section 6.03(a) shall describe with particularity

not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) take all reasonable action to
maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in the
normal conduct of its business, except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) preserve or renew all of its registered
patents, trademarks, trade names and service marks, the non-preservation or non-renewal of which
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (a) Maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in
the operation of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect and (b) make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof except
where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

     Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the
Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have
rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

     Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender.

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

     Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

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

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

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

     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,

60

 

any information relating to the Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

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

     Section 9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

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

     Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties.

     The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through

61

 

their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to
any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent,
and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     Section 9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

     The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the
Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right, with, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, the
Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lenders, with, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, the
Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and
determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made
by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as
provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

     Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision
to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem

62

 

appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

     Section 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners or Arrangers listed
on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent
or a Lender hereunder.

     Section 9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any
Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and
10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

     (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;

     and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments
to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent
and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections
2.09 and 10.04.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

     Section 9.10 Guaranty Matters.

     (a) If any Domestic Subsidiary that has become a Guarantor solely because of the
requirements of Section 6.11(a) subsequently owns assets (book value) which
constitute less than five percent (5.00%) of the aggregate book value of the Consolidated
Assets for a period of two consecutive fiscal quarters or if a Guarantor ceases to be a
Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, then such Domestic Subsidiary
shall be released as a Guarantor upon the written request of the Borrower and shall no
longer be a Guarantor hereunder.

     (b) Subject to clause (a) above or Section 11.08 of this Agreement, as
applicable, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, to release any
Guarantor from its obligations under Article XI. Upon request by the Administrative Agent
at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under Article XI pursuant to this
Section 9.10 or Section 11.08, as applicable.

ARTICLE X

65

 

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 has notified the
Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article 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 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
available and identifying the website address therefor.

     (c) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent

communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Term
Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed
by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by
the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof, except that such parties may not rely
on such notices if they do so in bad faith or if doing so would be grossly negligent or
would constitute willful misconduct. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent,
each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Borrower, except for such losses, costs, expenses and liabilities that
result from such parties’ bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic
notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded
by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such
recording.

66

 

     Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

     No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such
Person in exercising, 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 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 10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

     (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or
thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated) but notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be responsible for
the fees, charges or disbursements of more than one firm of legal counsel (and one local
counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement of
its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its
rights under this Section.

     (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each Related Party of
any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one
counsel (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees),
incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i)
the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the
proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Environmental Liability, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether
or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or
sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,

67

 

claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined to have resulted
from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for
breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to
be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of
any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was
incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.09(d).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee or any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of,
in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in
subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

     (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

     (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of
the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Term Loan
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

     Section 10.05 Payments Set Aside.

     To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and
such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required

68

 

(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender
in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the
obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share
(without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under
clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

     Section 10.06 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, provided, that
none of the Loan Parties (except in connection with a transaction permitted under
Section 7.04 hereunder), the Parent or the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the
provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this
Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null
and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (including all or a portion of Term Loans at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

     (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Term Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no
minimum amount need be assigned; and

69

 

     (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section,
the aggregate amount of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the
case of an assignment of a portion of the Term Loan unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an
assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single
assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been
met.

     (ii) [Reserved].

     (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section
and, in addition:

     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such
assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

     (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to
a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to such Lender.

     (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3.500;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries.

     (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be
made to a natural person.

70

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts of the
Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person
(other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loans owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01(a) that affects such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,

71

 

3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it
were a Lender.

     (e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note,
if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment
shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”),
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide all or any part of any Term Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement;
provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make
any Term Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to
provide all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make
such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) nothing herein shall entitle an SPC to
have or receive any greater rights (including, without limitation, any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
receive hereunder. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Term
Loan Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent as , and as if, such Term Loan
were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability
for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement)
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute
against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 10.06, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but (except as
provided below) without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a

72

 

portion of its interests in any Term Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or
maintenance of Term Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC (it being
agreed that each SPC shall be bound by the provisions of Section 10.7 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender). This section may not be amended without the written consent
of the SPC.

     (h) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which
shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the
extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act

     Section 10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

     Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (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 Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan 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 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 consent of the 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 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
Parent or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or any Subsidiary,
provided

73

 

that, in the case of information received from the Parent or any Subsidiary after
the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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.

     Section 10.08 Right of Setoff.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the
Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or
such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

     Section 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or
agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Term Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal,
refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee,
or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

     Section 10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

     This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and

74

 

supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

     Section 10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

     All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Term Loan Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Term Loan or
any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

     Section 10.12 Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 10.13 Replacement of Lenders.

     If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) if
any Lender fails to consent to any amendment to this Agreement requested by the Parent or the
Borrower which requires the consent of all of the Lenders (or all of the Lenders affected thereby)
and which is consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

75

 

     (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 10.06(b);

     (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts);

     (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

     (iv) if the replacement is being made pursuant to clause (d) above, the
replacement financial institution shall consent to the requested amendment.

     A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

     Section 10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY HERETO
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE

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 NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND
MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY
RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE

76

 

BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY 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 AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE
MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

     (d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

     Section 10.15 Waiver of Jury Trial.

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

     Section 10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

     In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower and each
other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder
and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with
any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an
arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on the other
hand, and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties are capable of evaluating and understanding and
understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the

77

 

transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to
such transaction, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a
principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for any of the Borrower, any other
Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any
other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has assumed or will assume an
advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including
with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document
(irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Arranger has advised or is currently
advising any of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates on other
matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to any of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any
advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger have
not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to
any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification
hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower and each other Loan Party has consulted its
own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The
Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger with respect to
any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

     Section 10.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.

     Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent
(for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, following a request by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent
or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable
“know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTY

     Section 11.01 The Guaranty.

     (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender and
the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender that enters into a
Swap Contract, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations
in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as
a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms
thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a
mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally,
promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly
paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the
terms of such extension or renewal.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of
the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts, the obligations of each Guarantor (in its capacity as
such) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate
amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to
avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable Law.

     Section 11.02 Obligations Unconditional.

     (a) The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or Swap Contracts, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, compromise, release,
impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations,
and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 11.02 that the
obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and
all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of
subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other
Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article XI until such time as the Obligations
have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or
terminated.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection (a), it is
agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or more of
the

79

 

following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which
shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

     (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time
for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended,
or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

     (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan
Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate
of a Lender or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done
or omitted;

     (iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of
the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any
right under any of the Loan Documents, any Swap Contract between any Loan Party and
any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender or any other agreement or instrument
referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations
or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in
part or otherwise dealt with;

     (iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any
holder of the Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to
attach or be perfected; or

     (v) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable
(including for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be
subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).

     (c) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of acceptance of the guaranty
given hereby and of extensions of credit that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby,
notices of amendments, waivers, consents and supplements to the Loan Documents, any Swap
Contract between any Loan Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or the
compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all other notices whatsoever,
and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Obligations exhaust
any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or
any other documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument
referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security
for, any of the Obligations.

     Section 11.03 Reinstatement.

     Neither the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall
be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification,
change, release or limitation of the liability of the Borrower, by reason of the Borrower’s
bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of

80

 

all or any portion of the Obligations. In addition, the obligations of each Guarantor under
this Article XI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason
any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent
and each holder of the Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such holder
of the Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a
preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

     Section 11.04 Certain Waivers.

     Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced
without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other
security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse
against the Borrower hereunder or against any collateral securing the Obligations or otherwise, (b)
it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against the Borrower or any other
Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any other right,
(c) it will not assert any defenses (i) with respect to any change in the corporate existence or
structure of the Borrower, (ii) with respect to any Law of any jurisdiction or any event affecting
any term of the obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XI or (iii) as a result or
related to any other circumstance that might constitute a defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor,
(d) it will not assert any claims or set-off rights that such Guarantor may have and (e) nothing
contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against the Borrower hereunder, under
the other Loan Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the Obligations or from
foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or from exercising
any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if neither the Borrower nor the
Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and
completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantors’
obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Obligations shall have been paid in full and
the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or terminated, it being the purpose and intent
that the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional
under all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse
to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to
Section 11.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section
11.06.

     Section 11.05 Remedies.

     The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between the Guarantors,
on the one hand, and holders of the Obligations, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared
to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have
become automatically due and payable in the circumstances specified in Section 8.02) for
purposes of Section 11.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition
preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming

81

 

automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the
Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or
not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors
for purposes of Section 11.01.

     Section 11.06 Rights of Contribution.

     The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made
hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in
accordance with applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right
of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full
and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of the
Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been irrevocably
paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.

     Section 11.07 Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

     The guarantee given by the Guarantors in this Article XI is a guaranty of payment and
not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

     Section 11.08 Release of Guarantee.

     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan
Documents or Swap Contracts, to the extent the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries issues any public
debt securities (the “Public Debt”), and the initial purchasers of such Public Debt would
not require Subsidiaries of the Parent (other than the Borrower) to guarantee such Public Debt but
for the fact that such Guarantors are guarantors of this Agreement, the Borrower shall have the
option to release such Guarantors (other than the Parent) (the “Released Subsidiaries”)
from their obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent that such
Released Subsidiaries do not guaranty (a) such Public Debt (at the time of such release or in the
future) or (b) the Existing Credit Agreement (at the time of such release or in the future) (it
being understood that to the extent any such Released Subsidiary becomes a guarantor under either
the Public Debt or the Existing Credit Agreement, they shall become a guarantor hereunder as
required by and pursuant to the terms of Section 6.11). Upon the delivery by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent of an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the transaction giving
rise to the release of this Guarantee was made by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, the Lenders shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence
the release of the Guarantors (other than the Parent) from their obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that, to the extent the Guarantors
(other than the Parent) are released from their obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents pursuant to this Section 11.08, the Parent shall remain a Guarantor hereunder and
shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
