ARTICLE II

DEMAND REGISTRATION

     2.1 Demand Registration. Subject to the provisions contained in this Section 2.1 and
in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, any Holder or group of Holders may, from time to time (each, a
“Requesting Holder” and collectively, the “Requesting Holders”), make a request in
writing (a “Demand Request”) that Lionsgate effect the registration under the Securities
Act of any specified number of shares of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Holder(s) (a
“Demand Registration”); provided, however, that Lionsgate shall in no event
be required to effect:

          (a) more than two (2) Demand Registrations in the aggregate;

          (b) more than one (1) Demand Registration in any 12-month period; and

          (c) any Demand Registration if the Shelf Registration Statement is then effective, and such
Shelf Registration Statement may be utilized by the Requesting Holders for the offering and sale of
all of their Registrable Securities without a requirement under the Commission’s rules and
regulations for a post-effective amendment thereto.

     Subject to the provisions contained in this Section 2.1 and in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof,
upon receipt of a Demand Request, Lionsgate shall cause to be included in a Registration Statement
on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, filed with the Commission as promptly as
practicable but in any event not later than 60 days after receiving a Demand Request, such
Registrable Securities as may be requested by such Requesting Holders in their Demand Request.
Lionsgate shall use its reasonable efforts to cause any such Registration Statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after such filing.

     2.2 Effective Registration. A registration shall not count as a Demand Registration
under this Agreement (i) unless the related Registration Statement has been declared effective
under the Securities Act and has remained effective until such time as (x) all of such Registrable
Securities covered thereby have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Participating Holders (but in no event for a period of more than 180 days after
such Registration Statement becomes effective not including any Suspension Periods) or (y) a
majority of the Registrable Securities covered thereby held by the Requesting Holders have been
withdrawn or cancelled from such Demand Registration (other than as contemplated by the first
sentence of Section 2.5); (ii) if, after a Registration Statement has become effective, an offering
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is terminated by any stop order,
injunction, or other order of the Commission or other governmental agency or court, unless and
until (x) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, (y) any
Requesting Holder thereafter elects, in its sole discretion, to continue the offering and (z) the
related Registration Statement remains effective until the time periods specified in subclauses (x)
and (y) of clause (i) above; or (iii) if pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, the Requesting Holders are
cut back to fewer than 75% of the Registrable

5

 

Securities requested to be registered in the aggregate and at the time of the request there
was not in effect the Shelf Registration Statement.

     2.3 Underwritten Offerings. If any Requesting Holder in the case of an offering pursuant to a
Demand Registration so elects, such offering shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering.
With respect to any such Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, Lionsgate shall
select an investment banking firm of national standing to be the managing underwriter for the
offering, which firm shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holders.

     2.4 Priority on Demand Registrations. With respect to any Demand Registration (including any
Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration), no securities
to be sold for the account of any Person (including Lionsgate) other than the Requesting Holders
shall be included in a Demand Registration; provided that securities to be sold for the
account of Lionsgate and any Ten Percent Holder may be included in such Demand Registration if, and
only if, the managing underwriter advises the Requesting Holders and Lionsgate in writing (or, in
the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the Requesting Holders determine in good
faith after considering the relevant facts and circumstances at the relevant time) that the
inclusion of such securities shall not adversely affect the price or success of the offering by the
Requesting Holders (an “Adverse Effect”). Furthermore, in the event that the managing
underwriter advises the Requesting Holders in writing (or the Requesting Holders determine, as
applicable, in good faith after considering the relevant facts and circumstances at the relevant
time) that the amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Demand Registration
by the Requesting Holders is sufficiently large (even after exclusion of all securities proposed to
be sold for the account of Lionsgate or any Ten Percent Holder pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence) to cause an Adverse Effect, the number of Registrable Securities to be included
in such Demand Registration shall be allocated among all such Requesting Holders pro rata for each
Holder based on the percentage derived by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Securities that
each such Holder requested to be included in such Demand Registration by (ii) the aggregate number
of Registrable Securities that all Requesting Holders requested to be included in such Demand
Registration; provided, however, that if, as a result of such proration, any
Requesting Holder shall not be entitled to include in a registration all Registrable Securities of
the class or series that such Holder had requested to be included, such Holder may elect to
withdraw its request to include such Registrable Securities in such registration or may reduce the
number requested to be included; provided, however, that (a) such request must be
made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement, if any, or the
execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration, if any, and (b) such
withdrawal or reduction shall be irrevocable.

     2.5 Withdrawal and Cancellation of Registration. Any Participating Holder may withdraw its
Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time and any Requesting Holders shall have
the right to cancel a proposed Demand Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Article II in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.3 hereof (i) when the request for
cancellation is based upon material adverse information relating to Lionsgate that none of the
members of the MHR Group were aware of at the time of the Demand Request (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, material adverse information that is materially different from the information
that the MHR Group was aware of at the time of the Demand

6

 

Request), (ii) if a Suspension Period occurs after a Demand Request but before the Registrable
Securities covered by such Demand Request are sold, transferred, exchanged or disposed of in
accordance with such Demand Request, or (iii) if Lionsgate has breached its obligations hereunder
with respect to such Demand Registration and such breach has caused, or would reasonably be
expected to cause, an Adverse Effect. Upon such cancellation, Lionsgate shall cease all efforts to
secure registration with respect to Registrable Securities of Participating Holders and such Demand
Registration shall not be counted as a Demand Registration under this Agreement for any purpose;
provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Lionsgate shall be responsible for the expenses of the Participating Holders incurred in connection
with such cancelled registration through the date that is four (4) Business Days after the date on
which any Participating Holders (X) had a right to cancel pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or
(ii), or (Y) became aware of their right to cancel pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii), in each
of clauses (X) and (Y) to the extent such expenses are as described in clauses (i) through (x) of
the first sentence of Article VIII hereof. Any expense reimbursement paid pursuant to clause (Y)
of the immediately preceding sentence shall be in addition to any other remedy to which the
Participating Holders may be entitled in law or in equity (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the
Participating Holders may not recover the same expense twice).

     2.6 Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Article II shall be on such
appropriate registration form of the Commission then applicable to Lionsgate (i) as shall be
selected by Lionsgate and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Holders and (ii) as
shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method
or methods of disposition specified in the applicable Holders’ requests for such registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, pursuant to a Demand Registration, (x) Lionsgate proposes to
effect registration by filing a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar
short-form registration statement), (y) such registration is in connection with an Underwritten
Offering and (z) the managing underwriter shall advise Lionsgate in writing that, in its or their
opinion, the use of another form of registration statement (or the inclusion, rather than the
incorporation by reference, of information in the Prospectus related to a registration statement on
Form S-3 (or other short-form registration statement)) is of material importance to the success of
such proposed offering, then such registration shall be effected on such other form (or such
information shall be so included in such Prospectus).

ARTICLE III

PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS

     3.1 Holder Piggyback Registration. If Lionsgate proposes to file a Registration Statement
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, a shelf registration statement or amendment or supplement
thereto) with respect to an offering of Common Shares, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Shares, for its own account or for the account of securityholders (other
than the Holders) of Lionsgate (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any successor form,
on Form S-8 or any successor form relating solely to securities issued pursuant to any benefit
plan, an offering of securities solely to then existing securityholders of Lionsgate, a dividend
reinvestment plan or an exchange offer) on a form that would permit

7

 

registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, then
Lionsgate shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders not less than 21 days
before the anticipated filing date, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration
(including the number and class or series of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed
date of filing of such Registration Statement, any proposed means of distribution of such
securities, any proposed managing underwriter of such securities and a good faith estimate by
Lionsgate of the proposed maximum offering price of such securities as such price is proposed to
appear on the facing page of such Registration Statement), and offering such Holders the
opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities of the same class as those being
registered by Lionsgate as each such Holder may request in writing (each a “Piggyback
Registration”). Subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, upon the written request of any Holder
(a “Piggyback Request”), received by Lionsgate no later than ten (10) Business Days after
receipt by such Holder of the notice sent by Lionsgate, to register, on the same terms and
conditions as the same class of securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such registration, any
of such Holder’s Registrable Securities of the same class as those being registered (which request
shall state the intended method of disposition thereof if the securities otherwise being sold are
being sold by more than one method of disposition), Lionsgate shall use its reasonable efforts to
cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be
included in the Registration Statement proposed to be filed by Lionsgate on the same terms and
conditions as the same class of securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such registration;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lionsgate may at any time,
in its sole discretion, without the consent of any other Holder, delay or abandon the proposed
offering in which any Holder had requested to participate pursuant to this Section 3.1 or cease the
filing (or obtaining or maintaining the effectiveness) of or withdraw the related Registration
Statement or other governmental approvals, registrations or qualifications. In such event,
Lionsgate shall so notify each Holder that had notified Lionsgate in accordance with this Section
3.1 of its intention to participate in such offering and Lionsgate shall incur no liability for its
failure to complete any such offering; provided, however, that in the event
Lionsgate has initiated the offering for its own account, Lionsgate shall pay all expenses incurred
by a Holder in connection with such delayed, abandoned or cancelled registration to the extent such
expenses are described in clauses (i) through (x) of the first sentence of Article VIII hereof.

     3.2 Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter for a Piggyback
Registration effected by means of an Underwritten Offering (or in the case of a Piggyback
Registration not being underwritten, Lionsgate, in good faith) advises the Holders in writing that
the inclusion of the Registrable Securities and securities proposed to be included by Holders who
have elected to participate pursuant to Section 3.1 and any other Persons who have elected to
participate in such offering pursuant to written agreements with Lionsgate (in each case,
“Piggybacking Holders”) and proposed to be included by Lionsgate, would cause an Adverse
Effect, then Lionsgate shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only that
number of Registrable Securities which, in the judgment of the managing underwriter (or Lionsgate
in good faith, as applicable), would not have an Adverse Effect, in the priority listed below:

          (a) if the registration is undertaken for Lionsgate’s account: (x) first, the securities that
Lionsgate desires to include, and (y) second, the securities (or, in the case of a Holder, the
Registrable Securities) proposed to be included by the Piggybacking Holders. Any

8

 

reduction in the number of securities to be included in a Registration Statement pursuant to
the foregoing clause (y) shall be effected by allocating the number of securities to be included
(after including securities contemplated by clause (x)) among all the Piggybacking Holders based
for each such Piggybacking Holder on the percentage derived by dividing (i) the aggregate number of
Common Shares that such Piggybacking Holder holds by (ii) the total number of Common Shares that
all such Piggybacking Holders hold in the aggregate; and

          (b) if the registration is undertaken at the demand of a securityholder of Lionsgate (other
than the Holders), (x) first, the securities that the demanding securityholder desires to include,
and (y) second, the securities (or in the case of Holders, the Registrable Securities) proposed to
be included by the Piggybacking Holders and by Lionsgate. Any reduction in the number of
securities to be included in a Registration Statement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) shall be
effected by allocating the number of securities to be included (after including securities
contemplated by clause (x)) among the Piggybacking Holders based for each such Piggybacking Holder
on the percentage derived by dividing (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares that such
Piggybacking Holder holds by (ii) the total number of Common Shares that all such Piggybacking
Holders hold in the aggregate; provided, however, that Lionsgate shall be entitled
to participate on a pro rata basis up to the sum of the number of securities allocated to the
Piggybacking Holders pursuant to this sentence, unless the managing underwriter (or in the case of
a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten, Lionsgate, in good faith) determines that
inclusion of additional securities by Lionsgate above such amount would not cause an Adverse
Effect.

     3.3 Withdrawals. Each Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of all
or any of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Article III by
giving written notice to Lionsgate of its request to withdraw; provided, however,
that (i) such request must be made in writing prior to the execution of the underwriting agreement
with respect to such registration or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, the effective
date of the Registration Statement or applicable prospectus supplement pertaining to such offering
and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable. In the event that a Holder withdraws and (i) the
request for withdrawal is based upon material adverse information relating to Lionsgate that none
of the members of the MHR Group were aware of at the time of the Holder’s Piggyback Request
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, material adverse information that is materially different
from the information that the MHR Group was aware of at the time of the Piggyback Request), (ii) if
a Suspension Period occurs after such Piggyback Request but before the Registrable Securities
covered by such Piggyback Request are sold, transferred, exchanged or disposed of in accordance
with such Piggyback Request, or (iii) if Lionsgate has breached its obligations hereunder with
respect to such Piggyback Registration and such breach has caused, or would reasonably be expected
to cause, an Adverse Effect, then Lionsgate shall pay all expenses incurred by a Holder in
connection with such cancelled registration through the date that is four (4) Business Days after
the date on which any Participating Holders (X) had a right to withdraw pursuant to the foregoing
clauses (i) or (ii), or (Y) became aware of their right to withdraw pursuant to the foregoing
clause (iii), in each of clauses (X) and (Y) to the extent such expenses are as described in
clauses (i) through (x) of the first sentence of Article VIII hereof. Any expense reimbursement
paid pursuant to clause (Y) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be in addition to any other
remedy to which the Participating Holders may be entitled in law or in equity (but, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Participating Holders may not recover the same expense twice).

     3.4 Underwritten Offerings.

          (a) In connection with the exercise of any registration rights granted to Holders pursuant to
this Article III, if the registration is to be effected by means of an Underwritten Offering,
Lionsgate may condition participation in such registration by any such Holder upon inclusion of the
Registrable Securities being so registered in such underwriting and such Holder’s entering into an
underwriting agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(d) hereof.

          (b) With respect to any offering of Registrable Securities in the form of an Underwritten
Offering in which Holders elect to participate pursuant to this Article III, Lionsgate shall select
an investment banking firm of national standing to be the managing underwriter for the offering.

ARTICLE IV

SHELF REGISTRATION

     4.1 Shelf Registration Filing.

          (a) Subject to Section 4.1(b) and Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof, within sixty (60) days
following a written request by a Holder (a “Shelf Request”), Lionsgate shall file with the
Commission, and use its reasonable efforts to have declared effective as soon as practicable, a
Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale
of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders to the public from time to time, on a
delayed or continuous basis. Subject to Section 4.3(c) hereof, any Shelf Registration Statement
may be a universal shelf registration statement that relates to the offer and sale of Lionsgate
securities other than Registrable Securities. Any registration effected pursuant this Section
4.1(a) shall not be deemed to constitute a Demand Registration. The Shelf Registration Statement
shall specify the intended method of distribution of the subject Registrable Securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Lionsgate shall file the Shelf
Registration Statement on Form S-3 or, if Lionsgate or the offering of the Registrable Securities
does not satisfy the requirements for use of such form, such other form as may be appropriate;
provided, however, that if the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed on Form
S-3, Lionsgate shall, promptly upon meeting the requirements for use of such form, file an
appropriate amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to convert it to Form S-3.

          (b) Any subsequent Shelf Requests after the initial Shelf Request pursuant to Section 4.1(a)
may only be made after such date that the MHR Group beneficially owns at least one (1) million
additional Common Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations,
reorganizations or similar events) which were not beneficially owned by the MHR Group as of the
date of the immediately prior Shelf Request.

     4.2 Required Period and Shelf Registration Procedures. Subject to Section 4.1 and to any
Suspension Period(s) referred to below, Lionsgate shall (i) cause the Shelf

10

 

Registration Statement to include a resale Prospectus intended to permit each Holder to sell, at
such Holder’s election, all or part of the applicable class or series of Registrable Securities
held by such Holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) use its reasonable efforts
to prepare and file with the Commission such supplements, amendments and post-effective amendments
to such Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective for so long as the securities registered thereunder constitute Registrable
Securities, and (iii) use its reasonable efforts to cause the resale Prospectus to be supplemented
by any Prospectus supplement required in order for such Holders to sell their Registrable
Securities without restriction under the Securities Act.

     4.3 Underwritten Shelf Offerings.

          (a) Subject to Section 4.3(b), if the Holders who are included in any offering pursuant to a
Shelf Registration Statement so elect, and such Holders have requested to include at least
2,300,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations,
reorganizations or similar events) owned by them in such offering, then the Holders may elect to
conduct such offering in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the terms of this Article IV
shall otherwise apply with respect to such Underwritten Offering on such Shelf Registration
Statement. With respect to any such qualifying Underwritten Offering, Lionsgate shall select an
investment banking firm of national standing to be the managing underwriter for the offering, which
firm shall be reasonably acceptable to the Participating Holders.

          (b) Notwithstanding Sections 4.1 and 4.3(a), subject to Lionsgate’s compliance with its
obligations under Article III hereof, Lionsgate shall not be obligated to take any action
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, filing a Shelf Registration Statement or amendment thereto)
to effect an Underwritten Offering on a Shelf Registration Statement and no Holder shall sell, or
offer to sell, any Registrable Securities in any Underwritten Offering requested pursuant to
Section 4.3(a) if, within the 30-day period prior to any election by a Holder pursuant to Section
4.3(a), Lionsgate has issued a notice to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof of a proposed
registered Underwritten Offering of Common Shares for its own account, continuing while Lionsgate
continues in good faith to pursue such registered Underwritten Offering and ending upon the
earliest to occur of: (A) in the case of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or
similar short-form registration statement), forty-five (45) days and in the case of a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor or similar long-form registration statement), sixty (60)
days, in each case following Lionsgate’s issuance of the notice to the Holders pursuant to Section
3.1 hereof, unless, on or prior to such date, Lionsgate shall have executed an underwriting
agreement with the managing underwriter with respect to such proposed Underwritten Offering;
provided that such forty-five (45) or sixty (60) day period (as applicable) shall be
extended for up to forty-five (45) additional days if the underwriting agreement has not been
executed because there has been a failure to resolve all requirements of the Commission in
connection with declaring such Registration Statement or applicable prospectus supplement effective
during such additional 45-day period; (B) the abandonment, cessation or withdrawal of such
Underwritten Offering; (C) 90 days following the effective date of the prospectus supplement
pertaining to such Underwritten Offering; or (D) the date that all of the Common Shares covered
thereby have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition. If Lionsgate
issues a notice of a proposed Underwritten Offering of

11

 

Common Shares for its own account pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof and subsequently abandons,
ceases or withdraws such Underwritten Offering, any notice thereafter issued by Lionsgate of a
subsequent proposed Underwritten Offering of Common Shares for its own account pursuant to Section
3.1 hereof shall not pre-empt Lionsgate’s obligations pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.3(a) or
restrict the Holders’ rights to sell, or offer to sell, any Registrable Securities in any
Underwritten Offering requested pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.3(a) during the 30-day period
commencing on the day immediately following the date that the MHR Group receives notice from
Lionsgate of such abandonment, cessation or withdrawal of such Underwritten Offering.

          (c) With respect to any Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities on a Shelf
Registration Statement initiated by the Holders pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof, no securities to
be sold for the account of any Person (including Lionsgate) other than the Holders shall be
included in such Underwritten Offering; provided that securities to be sold for the account
of Lionsgate and any Ten Percent Holder may be included in such Shelf Registration Statement if,
and only if, the managing underwriter advises the Holders and Lionsgate in writing that the
inclusion of such securities would not have an Adverse Effect on such Underwritten Offering.

ARTICLE V

STANDSTILL AND SUSPENSION PERIODS

     5.1 Lionsgate Standstill Period. Subject to Sections 2.4 and 4.3(c), in the event of (i) any
Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof in which the Requesting Holders are registering
more than 2,300,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, reorganizations or similar events) in the aggregate, (ii) any Underwritten Offering
pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof or (iii) any Underwritten Offering on a Shelf Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof, Lionsgate agrees not to, without the prior written consent of
the Holders, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase,
or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, in each case for its own account, any
securities that are the same as, or similar to, such Registrable Securities, or any securities
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any securities of Lionsgate that are the same
as, or similar to, such Registrable Securities (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or any
successor form, or otherwise in connection with the acquisition of a business or assets of a
business, a merger, or an exchange offer for the securities of the issuer or another entity, or
pursuant to a Lionsgate dividend reinvestment plan, or for issuances of securities pursuant to the
conversion, exchange or exercise of then-outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities,
options, rights or warrants, or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form or
otherwise relating solely to securities offered pursuant to any benefit plan), (x) in the case of
any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 in which the Requesting Holders are registering
more than 2,300,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, reorganizations or similar events) in the aggregate or any Underwritten Offering
pursuant to Section 2.4, during the ninety (90) day period (not including any Suspension Periods)
commencing on the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Registrable
Securities or, if earlier, the date that all of such Registrable Securities covered thereby have
been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Participating
Holders or the abandonment, cessation or

12

 

withdrawal of such offering by all the Requesting Holders, and (y) in the case of an Underwritten
Offering on a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof, during the ninety
(90) day period (not including any Suspension Periods) commencing on the effective date of the
prospectus supplement pertaining to such Underwritten Offering or, if earlier, the date that all of
such Registrable Securities covered thereby have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the Participating Holders or the abandonment, cessation or withdrawal of
such Underwritten Offering by all the Requesting Holders.

     5.2 Suspension Period.

          (a) Lionsgate shall not be required to use reasonable efforts to cause a Registration
Statement to be filed pursuant to this Agreement or to be declared effective, or to keep current
any Registration Statement or file any prospectus supplement or amendment (other than as required
by the periodic report and proxy statement disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, including Sections 13 or 15(d) thereof and Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K or 14A thereunder), or
permit Holders to sell or transfer securities thereunder, if Lionsgate possesses material
non-public information and determines in good faith that it need not otherwise make such disclosure
or filing; provided that at all times Lionsgate continues in good faith to make public
disclosures so as to continue and comply with its past practice with respect to the non-disclosure
of material non-public information. In furtherance of and pursuant to the last proviso of the
preceding sentence and following public disclosure by Lionsgate, at such time as Lionsgate no
longer possesses material non-public information regarding Lionsgate, the Suspension Period (as
defined below) shall immediately terminate. Any period during which the Holders are prohibited
from effecting sales or Lionsgate exercises its rights in each case pursuant to this Section 5.2(a)
shall constitute a “Suspension Period.”

          (b) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a written notice from Lionsgate of a Suspension
Period (a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder shall forthwith discontinue any disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of a
notice from Lionsgate to the effect that such Suspension Period has terminated. On the last day of
any thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Suspension Notice during which the Suspension
Period remains in effect, Lionsgate shall deliver a written notice to the MHR Representative that
the Suspension Period remains in effect (a “Bring-Down Suspension Notice”). Any Suspension
Notice or Bring-Down Suspension Notice shall (i) be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, General Counsel, President or any Vice President of Lionsgate and (ii) provide
that, as of the date of such Suspension Notice or Bring-Down Suspension Notice, as the case may be,
Lionsgate (a) possesses material non-public information, (b) has determined in good faith that it
need not publicly disclose such material non-public information and (c) has continued in good faith
to make public disclosures so as to continue and comply with its past practice with respect to the
non-disclosure of material non-public information. If so directed by Lionsgate, such Holder shall
deliver to Lionsgate (at Lionsgate’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
such Holder’s possession, of the most recent Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the
time of receipt of such Suspension Notice. Lionsgate covenants and agrees that it shall not
deliver a Suspension Notice with respect to a Suspension Period unless all Lionsgate employees,
officers and directors who are subject to Lionsgate’s Insider Trading Compliance Policy, and who
are prohibited by the terms thereof from effecting any public sales of securities of Lionsgate

13

 

beneficially owned by them, are so prohibited for the duration of such Suspension Period. In
the event of a Suspension Notice, Lionsgate shall, promptly after such time as it no longer
possesses material non-public information that it has determined in good faith need not otherwise
be disclosed, provide notice to all Holders that the Suspension Period has ended, and take any and
all actions necessary or desirable to give effect to any Holders’ rights under this Agreement that
may have been affected by such notice, including the Holders’ Demand Registration rights and rights
with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement.

          (c) During any time that any member of the MHR Group possesses material, non-public
information with respect to Lionsgate, no Holder may effect any sales under any Registration
Statement of Lionsgate; provided, however, that the MHR Group shall not be in
breach of this Section 5.2(c) if Lionsgate (X) was aware of the material non-public information in
the MHR Group’s possession at the time of the Holder’s sale (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
non-public information in the MHR Group’s possession at the time of the Holder’s sale that is
reasonably required in order to determine the materiality of such non-public information) and (Y)
did not issue a Suspension Notice with respect thereto prior to such sale.

     5.3 Holder Standstill Period. Each Holder of Registrable Securities (whether or not such
Registrable Securities are covered by the Shelf Registration Statement or by a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 or 3.1 hereof) agrees to enter into a customary lock-up
agreement with the managing underwriter for any Underwritten Offering of Lionsgate’s securities for
its own account with respect to the same class or series of securities being registered pursuant to
such Registration Statement, containing terms reasonably acceptable to such managing underwriter,
covering the period commencing 15 days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement
or, if applicable, the prospectus supplement, pertaining to such Underwritten Offering relating to
such securities of Lionsgate and ending on the 90th day after such effective date (or such shorter
period as shall have been agreed to by Lionsgate’s executive officers and directors in their
respective lock-up agreements); provided, however, that the obligations of each
Holder under this Section 5.3 shall apply only: (i) if such Holder shall be afforded the right
(whether or not exercised by the Holder) to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten
Offering in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof; (ii) to the extent
that each of Lionsgate’s executive officers, directors and Ten Percent Holders enter into lock-up
agreements with such managing underwriter, which agreements shall not contain terms more favorable
to such executive officers, directors or Ten Percent Holders than those contained in the lock-up
agreement entered into by such Holder; and (iii) if the aggregate restriction periods in such
Holder’s lock-up agreements entered into pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not exceed an aggregate
of 180 days during any 365-day period.

ARTICLE VI

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

     6.1 Lionsgate Obligations. Whenever Lionsgate is required pursuant to this Agreement to
register Registrable Securities, it shall (it being understood and agreed that except as otherwise
expressly set forth in this Article VI, if any other provision of this Agreement is more favorable
to the Holders than the provisions of this Article VI, such other provision shall apply):

14

 

          (a) provide the Participating Holders and their respective counsel with a reasonable
opportunity to review, and comment on, any Registration Statement to be prepared and filed pursuant
to this Agreement prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, and make all changes thereto as
any Participating Holder may reasonably request in writing to the extent such changes are required,
in the reasonable judgment of Lionsgate’s counsel, by the Securities Act and, except in the case of
a registration under Article III, not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendments
or supplements thereto, which registers Registrable Securities held by Holders, to which the
Holders of a majority of the class or series of Registrable Securities covered by the same or the
underwriter or underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object;

          (b) cause any such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto, as of the effective date of such Registration Statement, amendment or
supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and (ii) not
to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading (except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to statements
made or statements omitted by Lionsgate in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to Lionsgate by any Holder solely with respect to such Holder and specifically for
inclusion in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto), or, if for any
other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus
in order to comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably
practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement to such
Registration Statement or Prospectus which will correct such statement or omission or effect such
compliance;

          (c) furnish, at its expense, to the Participating Holders such number of conformed copies of
such Registration Statement and of each such amendment thereto (in each case including all exhibits
thereto, except that Lionsgate shall not be obligated to furnish to any such Participating Holder
more than two (2) copies of such exhibits), such number of copies of the Prospectus included in
such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus and each supplement thereto),
and such number of the documents, if any, incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement
or Prospectus, as the Participating Holders reasonably may request; provided that Lionsgate
shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the
Commission’s EDGAR or IDEA system;

          (d) use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United
States as the Participating Holders reasonably shall request, to keep such registration or
qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect, and to do any
and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Participating
Holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement, except that Lionsgate shall not, for any such purpose, be required
to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not
obligated to be so qualified, or to subject itself to material taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; and use its reasonable
efforts to obtain all other approvals, consents, exemptions or authorizations from such

15

 

securities regulatory authorities or governmental agencies as may be necessary to enable such
Participating Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

          (e) promptly notify the Participating Holders, at any time when a Prospectus or Prospectus
supplement relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery
that, or upon the occurrence of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in such
Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue
statement or omission requires amendment of the Registration Statement or supplementing of the
Prospectus, and, as promptly as practicable (subject to Section 5.2 hereof), prepare and furnish,
at its expense, to the Participating Holders a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to such
Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that with respect to Registrable Securities registered pursuant
to such Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that it shall not enter into any transaction for
the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement during the time
after the furnishing of Lionsgate’s notice that Lionsgate is preparing a supplement to or an
amendment of such Prospectus or Registration Statement and until the filing and effectiveness
thereof;

          (f) use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission, and make available to holders of its securities, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement covering the period of at least 12 months, but not more than 18 months, beginning with
the first month of the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of such Registration
Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

          (g) provide, and cause to be maintained, a transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement (which transfer agent and registrar shall, at
Lionsgate’s option, be Lionsgate’s existing transfer agent and registrar) from and after a date not
later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

          (h) notify the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter, if any, promptly, and (if
requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Registration Statement,
Prospectus, Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment related to such Registration
Statement has been filed, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any
other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement or related Prospectus, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or
state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (iv) of the receipt by
Lionsgate of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation
or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

16

 

          (i) use its reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification
(or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, as soon as practicable;

          (j) in the event of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.3
or 4.3 hereof, enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary
form, which may include, in the case of an Underwritten Offering on a firm commitment basis,
“lock-up” obligations substantially similar to Section 5.1 hereof) and take such other actions
(including using its reasonable efforts to make such road show presentations and otherwise engaging
in such reasonable marketing support in connection with any such Underwritten Offering, including
the obligation to make its executive officers available for such purpose if so requested by the
managing underwriter for such offering) as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter in
order to expedite or facilitate the sale of such Registrable Securities;

          (k) make available for inspection by each Participating Holder, any underwriter participating
in any disposition pursuant to such registration, and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by such Participating Holder or any such underwriter (collectively, the
“Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of Lionsgate and any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Records”) as shall
be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause
the officers, directors and employees of Lionsgate to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such Inspector in connection with such registration, provided, however, that
(i) in connection with any such inspection, any such Inspectors shall cooperate to the extent
reasonably practicable to minimize any disruption to the operation by Lionsgate of its business and
shall comply with all Lionsgate site safety rules, (ii) Records and information obtained hereunder
shall be used by such Inspectors only to exercise their due diligence responsibility and (iii)
Records or information furnished or made available hereunder shall be kept confidential and shall
not be disclosed by such Participating Holder, underwriter or Inspectors unless (A) the disclosing
party advises the other party that the disclosure of such Records or information is necessary to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or is otherwise required by
law, (B) the release of such Records or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction ( provided,
however, that such Person shall use its reasonable efforts to provide Lionsgate with prior
written notice of such requirement to afford Lionsgate with an opportunity to seek a protective
order or other appropriate remedy in response) or (C) such Records or information otherwise become
generally available to the public other than through disclosure by such Participating Holder,
underwriter or Inspector in breach hereof or by any Person in breach of any other confidentiality
arrangement;

          (l) in connection with any registration of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities
hereunder, use all reasonable efforts to furnish to each Participating Holder and to the managing
underwriter, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Participating Holder and the managing
underwriter, if any, of (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel to Lionsgate and (ii) a comfort
letter or comfort letters from Lionsgate’s independent public accountants pursuant to Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 72 (or any successor thereto), each in customary form and covering such
matters of the type customarily covered by

17

 

opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as each such Participating Holder and the
managing underwriter, if any, reasonably requests;

          (m) in connection with any registration of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities
hereunder, provide officers’ certificates and other customary closing documents;

          (n) reasonably cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and any underwriter in the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and with underwriters’ counsel, if any, in connection
with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”);

          (o) use its reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by Lionsgate are then
listed;

          (p) cooperate with the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter, underwriters or
agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and

          (q) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

     6.2 Holder Obligations. Each Holder agrees:

          (a) that it shall furnish to Lionsgate such information regarding such Holder and the plan and
method of distribution of Registrable Securities intended by such Holder (i) as Lionsgate may, from
time to time, reasonably request in writing and (ii) as shall be required by law or by the
Commission in connection therewith;

          (b) that information obtained by it or by its Inspectors shall be deemed confidential and
shall not be used by it as the basis for any market transactions in the securities of Lionsgate or
its Affiliates unless and until such information is made generally available to the public;

          (c) to use its reasonable efforts, prior to making any disclosure allowed by Section
6.1(k)(iii)(A) or (B) hereof, to inform Lionsgate that such disclosure is necessary to avoid or
correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or ordered pursuant to a subpoena
or other order from a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or otherwise
required by law;

          (d) in the case of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Agreement, if requested by the managing underwriter, to enter into an underwriting agreement with
the underwriters for such offering containing such representations and warranties by each Holder
and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in such

18

 

underwriting agreements, including customary indemnity and contribution provisions and
“lock-up” obligations substantially similar to Section 5.3 hereof; and

          (e) to notify Lionsgate as soon as practicable if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any
event, development or fact as a result of which a Registration Statement or any Prospectus or
supplement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of a material fact with respect to such
Holder or omits to state any material fact with respect to such Holder required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be required
to notify Liongate, or may limit such notification, as the case may be, solely to the extent
necessary, as determined in good faith by such Holder on the advice of counsel, in order not to be
in violation of or default under any applicable law, regulation, rule, stock exchange requirement,
self-regulatory body, supervisory authority, legal process or fiduciary duty.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

     7.1 Indemnification by Lionsgate. In the event of any registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, Lionsgate shall indemnify and hold
harmless to the full extent permitted by law (i) each Holder, such Holder’s Affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, managers, partners, stockholders, employees, advisors, agents and
other representatives of the foregoing, and each of their respective successors and assigns, and
each Person who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act, and (ii) any selling agent selected by the Holders or their Affiliates with respect
to such Registrable Securities (each such Person being sometimes referred to as an “Indemnified
Person”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings
in respect thereof, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) and expenses
(including reasonable costs of investigations and legal expenses), joint or several (each a
“Loss” and collectively “Losses”), to which such Indemnified Person may become
subject, to the extent that such Losses (or related actions or proceedings) arise out of or are
based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any Registration Statement in which such Registrable Securities were included for registration
under the Securities Act, including any preliminary or summary Prospectus or any final Prospectus
included in such Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus) or any document incorporated by reference therein, or (B) any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus in light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and Lionsgate agrees to reimburse
such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that Lionsgate shall have no obligation to provide any
indemnification or reimbursement hereunder (i) to the extent that any such Losses (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary
Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to Lionsgate by the Holder,

19

 

or on the Holder’s behalf, specifically for inclusion, respectively, in such Registration
Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement, or (ii) in the case
of a sale directly by a Holder of Registrable Securities (including a sale of such Registrable
Securities through any underwriter retained by such Holder engaging in a distribution solely on
behalf of Holders), to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary Prospectus and corrected in a final,
amended or supplemented Prospectus provided to such Holder prior to the confirmation of the sale of
the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such Loss, and such Holder failed to deliver
a copy of the final, amended or supplemented Prospectus at or prior to such confirmation of sale in
any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act, or (iii) in the case of a sale
directly by a Holder of Registrable Securities (including a sale of such Registrable Securities
through any underwriter retained by such Holder engaging in a distribution solely on behalf of
Holders), to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was contained in a final Prospectus but was corrected in an amended or
supplemented final Prospectus provided to such Holder prior to the confirmation of the sale of the
Registrable Securities to the Person asserting any such Loss, and such Holder failed to deliver a
copy of the amended or supplemented final Prospectus at or prior to such confirmation of sale in
any case in which such delivery is required by the Securities Act. The indemnity provided in this
Section 7.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such Holder or any Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer or disposal of the
Registrable Securities by the Holder or any such other Persons. Lionsgate will also indemnify, if
applicable and if requested, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in any distribution pursuant hereto, their officers and
directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Indemnified Persons. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability Lionsgate may otherwise
have.

     7.2 Indemnification by the Holders. In the event of any registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder shall, severally and
not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in
Section 7.1 hereof) Lionsgate, each director and officer of Lionsgate and each other Person, if
any, who controls Lionsgate within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (each
such Person being sometimes referred to as a “Company Indemnified Person”), against Losses
to which Lionsgate or any such Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to
the extent that such Losses (or related actions or proceedings) arise out of or are based upon (A)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement in which Registrable Securities were included for registration under the Securities Act,
or any preliminary Prospectus or any final Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (or
any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus), or (B) any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, (in the case of the Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus in light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case, only to the extent
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Lionsgate by such Holder, or
on such

20

 

Holder’s behalf, specifically for inclusion, respectively, in such Registration Statement,
preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or supplement; and each Holder agrees to
reimburse such Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that a Holder’s aggregate liability under this
Agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting the
underwriter’s discount and expenses) received by such Holder from the sale of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration.

     7.3 Notice of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by any Person entitled to indemnity under
Section 7.1 or 7.2 hereof (an “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (an “Action”) involving a claim referred to in such Sections, such Indemnitee
shall, if indemnification is sought against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such
indemnifying party of the commencement of such Action; provided, however, that the
failure of any Indemnitee to give said notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
actually prejudiced by such failure. In case an Action is brought against any Indemnitee, and such
Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, each indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent it elects to do so by written notice
delivered to the Indemnitee promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel selected by such Indemnitee and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying
party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own
counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnitee, unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the
indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of
the defense of such Action, reasonably promptly after notice of the commencement thereof or (iii)
such Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded that there may be defenses available to it which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party which, if the
indemnifying party and the Indemnitee were to be represented by the same counsel, could result in a
conflict of interest for such counsel or materially prejudice the prosecution of the defenses
available to such Indemnitee. If any of the events specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the
preceding sentence shall have occurred or otherwise shall be applicable, then the fees and expenses
of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be borne by the indemnifying party; it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or
proceeding, or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all
Indemnitees hereunder, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Anything in this Section
7.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for the settlement
of any action effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld or delayed), but if settled with the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, or
if there shall be a final judgment adverse to the Indemnitee, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the Indemnitee from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior consent of the Indemnitee (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or compromise, with respect to any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of
which the Indemnitee would be

21

 

entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitee is an actual
party to such action or claim), which (i) does not include as a term thereof the unconditional
release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such action or claim or (ii) includes an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee.

     7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article VII is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Losses, then each indemnifying party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnitee as a result of such Losses in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the Indemnitee, on the other hand, which
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnitee or indemnifying party, and such parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or mitigate the damage
in respect of or prevent the untrue statement or omission giving rise to such indemnification
obligation; provided, however, that a Holder’s aggregate liability under this
Section 7.4 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting the
underwriter’s discount but before deducting expenses) received by such Holder from the sale of such
Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration. The parties hereto agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined
solely by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which did not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to above. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     7.5 Indemnification Payments; Other Remedies; Primacy of Indemnification.

          (a) Periodic payments of amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Article VII shall be
made during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when reasonably itemized bills
therefor are delivered to the indemnifying party in respect of any particular Loss as incurred.

          (b) The remedies provided in this Article VII are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights
or remedies that may otherwise be available to an Indemnitee at law or in equity.

          (c) Primacy of Indemnification. Lionsgate hereby acknowledges that certain of the
Indemnified Persons have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or
insurance provided by MHR Fund Management LLC and/or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the
“Fund Indemnitors”). Lionsgate hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort
(i.e., its obligations to the Indemnified Persons are primary and any obligation of the Fund
Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same Losses incurred by any
of the Indemnified Persons are secondary to any such obligation of Lionsgate), (ii) that it shall
be liable for the full amount of all Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the
terms of this Agreement and the articles and other organizational documents of Lionsgate (or any
other agreement between Lionsgate and the relevant Indemnified Person), without regard to any
rights any Indemnified Person may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) it irrevocably
waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all

22

 

claims (x) against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, indemnification, subrogation or any
other recovery of any kind in respect thereof and (y) that any Indemnified Person must seek
indemnification from any Fund Indemnitor before Lionsgate must perform its indemnification
obligations under this Agreement. No advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of
any Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Person has sought
indemnification from Lionsgate hereunder shall affect the foregoing. The Fund Indemnitors shall
have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to
all of the rights of recovery which any Indemnified Person would have had against Lionsgate if the
Fund Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.
Lionsgate and the Indemnified Persons agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party
beneficiaries of this Article VII.

ARTICLE VIII

REGISTRATION EXPENSES

     In connection with any offerings pursuant to a Registration Statement hereunder, Lionsgate
shall pay (i) all registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with state
securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection
with “blue sky” laws qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) printing and duplicating
expenses, (iv) internal expenses of Lionsgate (including all salaries and expenses of its officers
and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for
Lionsgate and fees and expenses of independent certified public accountants retained by Lionsgate
(including the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent
certified public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters or with any required special
audits), (vi) the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by Lionsgate, (vii)
fees and expenses in connection with any review of underwriting arrangements by FINRA, (viii)
reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for the Participating Holders (as a
group), (ix) fees and expenses in connection with listing, if applicable, the Registrable
Securities on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, and (x) all duplicating,
distribution and delivery expenses. In connection any offerings pursuant to a Registration
Statement, each Participating Holder shall pay (a) any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions
attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities by such Participating Holder in connection with
an Underwritten Offering; (b) any out-of-pocket expenses of such Participating Holder including any
fees and expenses of brokers or counsel to such Participating Holder (other than as set forth in
clause (viii) of the immediately preceding sentence); and (c) any applicable transfer taxes.

ARTICLE IX

RULE 144

     With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other similar
rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell Registrable
Securities of Lionsgate to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form
S-3, Lionsgate covenants that, from and after the time that and for so long as it is subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act thereafter, it shall use its reasonable efforts to

23

 

file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, and
that it shall comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c), as such Rule may be amended from time to
time (or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission), regarding the
availability of current public information to the extent required to enable any Holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the resale
provisions of Rule 144 (or any similar rule or regulation). Upon the request of any Holder,
Lionsgate shall promptly deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such requirements and, upon such Holder’s compliance with the applicable provisions of Rule
144 and its delivery of such documents and certificates as Lionsgate’s transfer agent may
reasonably request in connection therewith, shall take such reasonable action as may be required
(including using its reasonable efforts to cause legal counsel to issue an appropriate opinion) to
cause its transfer agent to effectuate any transfer of Registrable Securities properly requested by
such Holder, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Rule 144.

or at such other address as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. The giving of
any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such
notice. Every notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, delivery or other
communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given or served and received on the date
on which personally delivered, with receipt acknowledged, telecopied and confirmed by telecopy
answerback or three (3) Business Days after the same shall have been deposited in the United States
mail (by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), whichever is
earlier. Each Holder as of the date hereof acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, it
holds the number of Registrable Securities set forth next to its name on Schedule I
attached hereto. Any member of the MHR Group that desires to become an Additional Holder in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall provide written notice to Lionsgate setting forth
its address and the number of Registrable Securities held by such Person and agreeing to be bound
by the terms hereof, and upon receipt of such notice Lionsgate shall amend Schedule I
attached hereto to reflect such Additional Holder, its address and the number of Registrable
Securities held thereby without any further action or consent required from the parties to this
Agreement. From time to time and promptly following a written request by Lionsgate, each such
Holder and Additional Holder shall provide written notice to Lionsgate of any increase or decrease
in the number of Registrable Securities held by such Person, and upon receipt of any such notice,
Lionsgate shall amend Schedule I attached hereto to reflect such increase or decrease in
the number of Registrable Securities held by such Person without any further action or consent
required from the parties to this Agreement; provided that if any such Holder or Additional
Holder discloses such increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities held by such
person in any filing made pursuant to Section 13 or 16 of the Exchange Act, such Holder or
Additional Holder, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have provided notice to Lionsgate as
provided in this sentence. Solely for purposes of this Agreement, in determining the number of
Registrable Securities outstanding at any time and the Holders thereof, Lionsgate shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on Schedule I attached hereto (as so amended in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement to reflect all such written notices received by Lionsgate from time to
time).

25

 

     10.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Holder other than to a
Permitted Assignee ( provided, however, that such Permitted Assignee agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement), whereupon such Permitted Assignee shall be
deemed to be a Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and all successors
to Lionsgate and the Holders.

     10.3 Amendments; Waivers. Subject to Section 10.4, (a) any provision of this Agreement
affecting a party may be amended or modified only by a written agreement signed by each such
affected party and (b) no provision of this Agreement affecting a party may be waived except
pursuant to a writing signed by each such affected party.

     10.4 MHR Representative. Lionsgate shall be entitled to rely upon the written
communications of the MHR Representative, acting on behalf of any Holder, relating to matters
addressed in this Agreement as communications of the Holders, including, without limitation,
elections by Holders to exercise registration rights and any amendments, waivers or consents made
pursuant to this Agreement. Any notice or communication delivered to the MHR Representative shall
be deemed to have been delivered to each Holder for all purposes hereof. Each of the Holders shall
use their reasonable efforts to conduct all written communications to Lionsgate pursuant to this
Agreement through the MHR Representative.

     10.5 Calculations of Beneficial Ownership. All calculations of beneficial ownership
for purposes of this Agreement shall be calculated in accordance with Rule 13(d) of the Exchange
Act, as amended from time to time.

     10.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not
confer any rights or remedies on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set
forth in Section 7.5(c), Article VII and Section 10.4.

     10.7 Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to
measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the
obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person
will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person shall,
therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in
equity) to injunctive relief, including, without limitation, specific performance, to enforce such
obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this
Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at
law.

     10.8 Termination of Registration Rights; Survival. All rights granted to Holders under this
Agreement shall terminate on the first anniversary of the date that the MHR Group both (a)
beneficially owns in the aggregate less than 11,703,209 Common Shares (which amount, for the
avoidance of doubt, represents approximately 10% of the Common Shares outstanding as disclosed in
Lionsgate’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009), subject to equitable adjustment
for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations or similar events, so long as
such number of Common Shares (as adjusted) beneficially owned represents less than 10% of the
Common Shares outstanding at that time, and

26

 

(y) ceases to have a designated representative on the Board of Directors of Lionsgate. The
provisions of Articles VII, VIII and X shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

     10.9 Attorney’s Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of
this Agreement or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees
in addition to any other available remedy.

     10.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this
Agreement 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 Agreement.

     10.11 Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only
and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.

     10.12 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED EXCLUSIVELY BY, CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each party to this Agreement
hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any agreements or transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in the courts of the
State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and
hereby expressly submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the purposes
thereof and expressly waives any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an
inconvenient forum. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process of any of the
aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address set forth in Section 10.1 hereof,
such service to become effective ten (10) days after such mailing.

     10.13 Counterparts and Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and
all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be
executed by facsimile signatures.

     10.14 Entire Agreement. Except for that certain letter agreement by and between Mark H.
Rachesky, M.D. and Lionsgate, dated July 9, 2009 (other than paragraphs (a) through (e) of such
letter agreement), this Agreement (i) embodies the entire agreement and understanding between
Lionsgate and the Holders in respect of the subject matter contained herein and (ii) supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement.

     10.15 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such documents and perform
such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or to perform the
provisions of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The selling securityholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of their
successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling securityholder as a gift,
partnership distribution or other non-sale-related transfer after the date of this prospectus (all
of whom may be selling securityholders), may sell the securities from time to time on any stock
exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the securities are listed, in the
over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that
may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing
market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling securityholders may sell the
securities by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

	 	(a)	 	block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged shall attempt to sell the
securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;

	 	(b)	 	purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer
for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

	 	(c)	 	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on
which the securities are listed;

	 	(d)	 	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchases;

	 	(e)	 	privately negotiated transactions;

	 	(f)	 	short sales;

	 	(g)	 	through the writing of options on the securities, whether or not the options
are listed on an options exchange;

	 	(h)	 	through the distribution of the securities by any selling securityholder to its
partners, members or stockholders;

	 	(i)	 	one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
and

	 	(j)	 	any combination of any of these methods of sale.

     The selling securityholders may also transfer the securities by gift. The issuer does not
know of any arrangements by the selling securityholders for the sale of any of the securities.

     The selling securityholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the securities. These
brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a selling securityholder.

 

 

Broker-dealers may agree with a selling securityholder to sell a specified number of the
securities at a stipulated price per security. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell securities
acting as agent for a selling securityholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at
the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire securities as principals may thereafter resell
the securities from time to time in transactions on any stock exchange or automated interdealer
quotation system on which the securities are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at
the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions.
Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including
transactions of the nature described above. The selling securityholders may also sell the
securities in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, rather than
pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the securities are covered by this prospectus.

     From time to time, one or more of the selling securityholders may pledge, hypothecate or grant
a security interest in some or all of the securities owned by them. The pledgees, secured parties
or persons to whom the securities have been hypothecated shall, upon foreclosure in the event of
default, be deemed to be selling securityholders. As and when a selling securityholder takes such
actions, the number of securities offered under this prospectus on behalf of such selling
securityholder shall decrease. The plan of distribution for that selling securityholder’s
securities shall otherwise remain unchanged. In addition, a selling securityholder may, from time
to time, sell the securities short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in
connection with the short sales and the securities offered under this prospectus may be used to
cover short sales.

     To the extent required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the aggregate amount of
selling securityholders’ securities being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any
agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular
offer shall be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers,
brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the securities may receive compensation in
the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a selling securityholder
and/or purchasers of selling securityholders’ securities for whom they may act (which compensation
as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).

     The selling securityholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate
in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by
them and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions.

     A selling securityholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the
broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions
they assume with that selling securityholder, including, without limitation, in connection with
distributions of the securities by those broker-dealers. A selling securityholder may enter into
option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the securities
offered hereby to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer those securities.
A selling securityholder may also loan or pledge the securities offered hereby to a broker-dealer

2

 

and the broker-dealer may sell the securities offered hereby so loaned or upon a default may
sell or otherwise transfer the pledged securities offered hereby.

     A selling securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell
securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions.
If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third
parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement,
including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the
selling securityholder or borrowed from the selling securityholder or others to settle those sales
or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from the
selling securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings
of stock. The third party in such sale transactions shall be an underwriter and, if not identified
in this prospectus, shall be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a
post-effective amendment).

     The selling securityholders and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the
securities shall be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling securityholders and
any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply
to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the selling securityholders and their
affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the
distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular
securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution.
These restrictions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or
entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

     The issuer has agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the selling securityholders and
any brokers, dealers and agents (who may be deemed to be underwriters), if any, of the securities
covered by the registration statement, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify the
issuer in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     The issuer agreed to register the securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective for a specified
period of time. The issuer has generally agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this
offering, including the fees and expenses of counsel of the selling securityholders, but not
including any underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees of the selling
securityholders or any applicable transfer taxes.

     The issuer shall not receive any proceeds from sales of any securities by the selling
securityholders.

     The issuer cannot assure you that the selling securityholders shall sell all or any portion of
the securities offered hereby.

other dates and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time under the terms of this
Agreement. The Company and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby further agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Euro Lender interest in the relevant Available Foreign
Currency on the unpaid principal amount of the Euro Revolving Credit Loans made to such Borrower
(on a several, not joint and several, basis, but subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the
Guarantee contained in Article IX) from time to time outstanding until payment thereof in full at
the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.8.

     2.2.2 The books and records of the Administrative Agent and of each Lender shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however,
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such books and records
or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with
applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.

     2.2.3 The Borrowers agree that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender
from time to time and the subsequent request to the Company by the Administrative Agent, the
relevant Borrowers will execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes evidencing the
Revolving Credit Loans of any such requesting Revolving Credit Lender, substantially in the form of
Exhibit H with appropriate insertions as to date, currency and principal amount (each, a
“Revolving Credit Note”); provided, that the delivery of such Notes shall not be a
condition precedent to the Effective Date or any Advance.

     2.3 Procedures for Borrowing. (a) Each Borrower may borrow under the U.S. Revolving
Credit Commitments and the Company and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may borrow under the Euro
Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date
on any Business Day.

          (b) In the case of a borrowing under the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, the Company or
other applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must
be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., Chicago time) (i) three Business Days
prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans
are to be Eurodollar Loans, or (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date
otherwise, specifying in each case (v) the applicable Borrower, (w) the amount to be borrowed, (x)
the requested Borrowing Date, (y) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, Floating Rate
Loans or a combination thereof and (z) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar
Loans, the amount of such Type of Loan and the length of the initial Interest Periods therefor.
Each borrowing under the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments after the Effective Date shall be in an
amount equal to (A) in the case of Floating Rate Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate available U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments
are less than $5,000,000, such lesser amount) and (B) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the
Company or other Borrower, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
U.S. Lenders thereof. Not later than noon, Chicago time on each requested Borrowing Date each U.S.
Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the U.S. Revolving
Credit Loans requested to be made on such Borrowing Date

23

 

available to the Administrative Agent at its Chicago office specified in Section 14.1 in U.S.
Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall on such date credit the
account of the relevant Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made
available to the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Lenders and in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent.

          (c) In the case of a borrowing under the Euro Revolving Credit Commitments, the Company or a
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., London time three Business Days
prior to the requested Borrowing Date) specifying in each case (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii)
the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) the Available Foreign Currency thereof, (iv) the length of the
initial Interest Period therefor and (v) the applicable Borrower. Each borrowing by the Company or
a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under Section 2.1.2 shall be in an Available Foreign Currency. Each
such borrowing by the Company or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be in an amount equal to an
amount in the relevant Available Foreign Currency which is 5,000,000 units or a whole multiple of
1,000,000 units in excess thereof or such other amounts as may be agreed upon between the
applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from any such
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Euro Lenders with respect to such
Borrowing. Not later than 1:00 p.m., local time of the Administrative Agent’s funding office for
such Borrower, on the requested Borrowing Date, each Euro Lender shall make an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of such Euro Revolving Credit Loans requested to be made on
such Borrowing Date available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s funding
office for such Borrower specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time by notice to such
Euro Lenders and in immediately available or other same day funds customarily used for settlement
in the relevant Available Foreign Currency. The amounts made available by each Euro Lender will
then be made available to the relevant Borrower at the funding office for such Borrower and in like
funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

     2.4 Termination or Reduction/Increases of Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) The
Company or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may permanently reduce the Euro Revolving Credit
Commitments, in whole or in part, ratably among the Euro Lenders in integral multiples of
€5,000,000 and the Borrowers may permanently reduce the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, in whole
or in part, ratably among the U.S. Lenders in integral multiples of $10,000,000, in each case upon
at least three Business Days’ irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, and which
notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that (i) the
Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced below the Aggregate Euro Revolving
Credit Outstandings of all Lenders and the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments may not be
reduced below the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings of all Lenders and (ii) a notice of
termination of Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, incurrence of other Indebtedness, or consummation of another transaction
(such as a Change of Control), in which case such notice may be revoked (by notice to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date if such date is not more than five
Business Days after the date such notice is given) if such condition is not satisfied. In
addition, all accrued facility fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of
the Revolving Credit Commitments. Simultaneously with the closing of any Permitted Securitization
Transaction facility, the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments shall be automatically
reduced, ratably among the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, by the amount of any such Permitted
Securitization Transaction facility which, when aggregated with all other then existing Permitted
Securitization Transaction facilities, exceeds $200,000,000.

          (b) Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Company may, upon at least ten (10) days
(or such other shorter period of time as may be agreed to between the Administrative Agent and

24

 

the Company) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, increase the Aggregate
Commitments (by increasing the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments, the Aggregate Euro
Revolving Credit Commitments or a combination thereof) from time to time, either by designating one
or more lender(s) not theretofore Lender(s) to become Lender(s) (such designation to be effective
only with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of
the Administrative Agent) and/or by agreeing with one or more existing Lender(s) that such Lender’s
or Lenders’ U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, Euro Revolving Credit Commitment or a combination
thereof shall be increased (thus increasing the Aggregate Commitments); provided that:

     (i) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder as
of the effective date of such increase;

     (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article V are true and correct as
on and as of the effective date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date
except to the extent any such representation or warranty relates solely to an earlier date,
in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct on and as of such
earlier date;

     (iii) the amount of each such increase in the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitments shall not be less than $10,000,000, and the aggregate amount of all such
increases in the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed $200,000,000
(determined as of the date each such increase is effective);

     (iv) the amount of each such increase in the Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit
Commitments shall not be less than €2,500,000, and the aggregate amount of all such
increases in the Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed €37,500,000
(determined as of the date each such increase is effective);

     (v) each such lender not theretofore a Lender becoming a Lender and each existing
Lender that has agreed to increase its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, Euro Revolving
Credit Commitment or a combination thereof shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement acknowledged and agreed to by the
Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement and agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) and each Borrower;

     (vi) no existing Lender shall be obligated in any way to increase any of its
Commitments;

     (vii) the Administrative Agent shall consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) to such increase; and

     (viii) the Company and the other Borrowers shall have complied with such other
conditions in connection with such increase as may reasonably be required by the
Administrative Agent, including without limitation delivering such resolutions, opinions and
other documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent.

Upon the execution and delivery of a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, from and after
the effective date specified in such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement, such existing
Lender shall have Commitments as therein set forth or such other Lender shall become a Lender with
Commitments as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such
Commitments hereunder. Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement together
with any

25

 

Note or Notes, if requested, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Lender Addition and
Acknowledgement Agreement has been completed and the other conditions described in this Section
2.4(b) have been satisfied: (A) accept such Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement; (B)
record the information contained therein in its records; and (C) give prompt notice thereof to the
Lenders and the Borrowers and deliver to the Lenders and the Borrowers a new Schedule 1.1(a)
reflecting the new Commitments, whereupon such revised Schedule 1.1(a) shall replace the old
Schedule 1.1(a) and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase
of the Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.4, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances shall
be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the
Lenders’ respective revised Commitments and Pro Rata Shares, as applicable, and Fixed Rate Advances
shall be so reallocated among the Lenders on the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in
effect at the time of any such increase.

     2.5 Facility and Administrative Agent Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender a facility fee (payable in Dollars) at the
rate per annum set forth in the Pricing Schedule on Exhibit A attached hereto, on the average daily
amount of the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, from and
including the Effective Date to but excluding the Facility Termination Date, and thereafter on the
average daily amount of the U.S. Loans and Pro Rata Share of the U.S. Swing Loans and U.S. Facility
Letters of Credit of such Lender, payable on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility
Termination Date.

          (b) The Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Euro Lender a facility fee (payable in Euros) at the rate per annum set forth in the
Pricing Schedule on Exhibit A attached hereto, on the average daily amount of the Euro Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, from and including the Effective Date to
but excluding the Facility Termination Date, and thereafter on the average daily amount of the Euro
Loans and Pro Rata Share of the Euro Swing Loans and Euro Facility Letters of Credit of such
Lender, payable on each Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date.

          (c) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such other fees
as agreed to in writing between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

     2.6 Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments on All Loans.

     2.6.1 Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Floating Rate Loans, in whole
or in part, without penalty or premium, upon at least one Business Day’s irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, specifying the date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given,
the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Partial prepayment of Floating Rate Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or
any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

     2.6.2 Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay, without premium or penalty
(but together with payment of any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.4), its Eurodollar Loans and
its Multicurrency Loans in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice
to the Administrative Agent specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Partial payments of
Eurodollar Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Multicurrency Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount in the relevant Available Foreign Currency of 5,000,000 units or any integral
multiple of 1,000,000 units in
excess thereof, or such lesser principal amount as may equal the outstanding Multicurrency
Loans or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent.

26

 

     2.6.3 (i) If the Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Euro
Revolving Credit Commitments at any time the applicable Borrowers shall promptly prepay their
respective Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit Outstandings or cash collateralize Euro Facility Letters
of Credit in the amount of such excess and (ii) if the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings
exceed the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments at any time the applicable Borrowers shall
promptly prepay the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings or cash collateralize U.S.
Facility Letters of Credit in the amount of such excess.

     2.6.4 Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.6 and each conversion (other than a
conversion of a Floating Rate Loan to a Fixed Rate Loan) pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be
accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and any
amounts payable under Section 3.4 in connection with such payment.

     2.6.5 Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be applied as follows: (a) in the case of
prepayments of U.S. Loans, first to prepay Floating Rate Loans and second to prepay Eurodollar
Loans then outstanding in such order as the Company or such Borrower may direct and (b) in the case
of prepayments of Multicurrency Loans, to prepay Multicurrency Loans made to such Borrower in such
order as the Company or such Borrower may direct, provided that all prepayments on any Loans to a
Borrower shall be applied pro rata to the Loans owing by such Borrower.

     2.6.6 All amounts prepaid may be reborrowed and successively repaid and reborrowed, subject to
the other terms and conditions in this Agreement.

     2.7. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances.

     2.7.1 Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances
unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances. Each
Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable
Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted
into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Company shall have given the Administrative Agent a
Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar
Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the
terms hereof, any Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of
any Type into any other Type or Types of Advance (subject to, in the case of conversion of any
Eurodollar Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, payment of
any amounts payable under Section 3.4 in connection therewith). The Company shall give the
Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each
conversion of an Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago
time) at least one Business Day, in the case of a conversion into a Floating Rate Advance, or three
Business Days, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, prior to
the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

     (a) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

     (b) the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and

     (c) the amounts and Type(s) of Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or
continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, the
duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

27

 

     2.7.2 Multicurrency Advances. Any Multicurrency Advances may be continued as such upon
the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower
giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) at least
three Business Days prior to the date of the requested continuation, specifying the duration of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, provided, that if the relevant Borrower shall fail to
give such notice, such Multicurrency Advance shall be automatically continued for an Interest
Period of one month.

     2.8 Interest Rates, Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. (a) Each Floating
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Loan is made or is converted from a Fixed Rate Loan into a Floating Rate
Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Fixed
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such
day. Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with
respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest
Period. Each Multicurrency Loan (other than a Swing Loan) shall bear interest for each day during
each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Eurocurrency
Rate determined for such Interest Period or at such other interest rate as agreed to by the
applicable Borrower and all Euro Lenders with a Commitment to such Borrower.

     (b) Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date and at maturity. Interest
accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest
Period, on any date on which the Fixed Rate Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Fixed Rate Advance having an Interest Period
longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during
such Interest Period.

     (c) Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any
payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (local time) at the place of
payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which
is not a Business Day, except as otherwise provided in the definition of Interest Period, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment,
such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

     (d) All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period such interest or
fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days or, in the case of Floating Rate Loans based on
the Prime Rate, 365/366 days, unless the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that it is
market practice to calculate such interest or fees on Multicurrency Advances on a different basis.

     (e) Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating
Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each
Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and
including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last
day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate
Advance.

     2.9 Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, during the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their
option, by notice to the Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required
Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to
changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued
(after the expiration of the then current Interest Period) as a Fixed Rate Advance, provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any

28

 

outstanding Multicurrency Advance may be continued for an
Interest Period not to exceed one month after such notice to the Borrowers by the Required Lenders.
Upon and during the continuance of any Default under Section 7.2, the Required Lenders may, at
their option, by notice to the Company (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required
Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders as
to changes and interest rates) declare that (i) each Fixed Rate Advance shall bear interest for the
remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest
Period plus 2% per annum, and (ii) each Floating Rate Advance and any other amount due under this
Agreement shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable
to Floating Rate Loans plus 2% per annum, provided that, upon and during the continuance of any
acceleration for any reason of any of the Obligations, the interest rate set forth in clauses (i)
and (ii) shall be applicable to all Advances without any election or action on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     2.10 Pro Rata Payment, Method of Payment.

     2.10.1 Each borrowing of Loans from the U.S. Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the
Pro Rata Shares of such Lenders in effect on the date of such borrowing. Each payment on account
of any facility fee under Section 2.5(a) shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among the
U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Any reduction of the U.S.
Commitments of the U.S. Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among the U.S.
Lenders pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of the U.S. Lenders with respect thereto. Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on
account of principal or interest on its U.S. Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent
pro rata to the U.S. Lenders according to the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof. All
payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder in respect of amounts
denominated in Dollars, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be
made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the U.S. Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s address
specified pursuant to Article XIV, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent
specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers by 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) on
the date when due. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any
Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of
funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at
any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such
Lender.

     2.10.2 Each borrowing of Euro Loans in any Available Foreign Currency from the Euro Lenders
shall be made pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of the Euro Lenders in effect on the date
of such Loan. Each payment on account of any facility fee under Section 2.5(b) shall be allocated
by the Administrative Agent among the Euro Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Shares. Any reduction of the Euro Commitments shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among
the Euro Lenders pro rata according to the Pro Rata Shares of the Euro Lenders with respect
thereto. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each payment (including each prepayment)
by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Euro Loans shall be allocated by the
Administrative Agent pro rata to the Euro Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made
by a Borrower on account of
Euro Loans, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without
setoff, deduction, or counterclaim in the currency of such Euro Loans (in same day or other funds
customarily used in the settlement of obligations in such currency) to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Euro Lenders at the payment office for such Euro Loans specified from time to
time by the Administrative Agent by notice to the Borrowers prior to 1:00 p.m. local time at such
payment office on the due date thereof. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to
the Euro Lenders entitled

29

 

to receive the same promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. In
the case of any payment of facility fees by Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under Section 2.5(b) and
any prepayments required of Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers under Section 2.6.3, the Company shall
designate which Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall pay such amounts and, absent such determination
or if any Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall determine which
Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers shall make such payments, provided that
it is acknowledged that each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is liable, without duplication, for the
full amount of facility fees payable under Section 2.5(b) and is obligated to make any required
prepayments under Section 2.6.3 only to the extent such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower has any
Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit Outstandings.

     2.11 Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of
Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the
Administrative Agent or any Lender reasonably and in good faith believes to be an Authorized
Officer, provided that the Borrowers shall be required to make all requests for Eurocurrency Loans
in writing. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written
confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each
telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any
material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

     2.12 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.
Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of
each Revolving Credit Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing notice, Conversion/Continuation
Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each
Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of
such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base
Rate.

     2.13 Lending Installations. Each Lender may, subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.6, make
and book its Loans at any Lending Installation(s) selected by such Lender and may change its
Lending Installation(s) from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such
Lending Installation(s) and the Notes, if any, shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit
of such Lending Installation(s). Each Lender may, by written or telex notice to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Borrower, designate one or more Lending Installations which are to make
and book Loans and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

     2.14 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender,
as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to
make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or
(b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon
such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such
payment to the Administrative Agent,
the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the
Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each
day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the
Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per
annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the
first five days and the interest rate

30

 

applicable to the relevant Loan for each day thereafter or
(ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

     2.15 Facility Letters of Credit.

     2.15.1 Obligation to Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers herein set forth, the Issuers
hereby agree to issue for the account of a Borrower through such of the Issuer’s Lending
Installations or Affiliates as the Issuer may determine, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in
accordance with this Section 2.15, from time to time during the period, commencing on the Effective
Date and ending five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date.

     2.15.2 Conditions for Issuance. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions contained in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, the obligation of an Issuer to issue any Facility
Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

     (a) the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Facility Letters of Credit
issued by the Issuers, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder,
shall not exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon the Issuer;

     (b) the requested Facility Letter of Credit shall not have an expiration date later than the
earlier of (i) one year after the date of issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and (ii) five
Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, provided that any Facility Letter of
Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods
(which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above);

     (c) immediately after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, the
aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Facility Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuers shall not exceed (i) $50,000,000 in the aggregate in the case of Facility Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars and (ii) €30,000,000 in the aggregate in the case of Facility Letters of
Credit denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Dollars, and no prepayment would as a result of
such issuance then be required under this Agreement;

     (d) the applicable Borrower shall have delivered to the applicable Issuer at such times and in
such manner as such Issuer may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be required
pursuant to the terms of the proposed Letter of Credit and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be
reasonably satisfactory to such Issuer as to form and content; and

     (e) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any Court, arbitrator or
governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing
the Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to such Issuer and no
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with
jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit or request that such Issuer refrain from the issuance
of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of that Facility Letter of Credit.

     2.15.3 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit. (a) The applicable
Borrower shall give one of the Issuers and the Administrative Agent three Business Days’ prior
written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement
(except that, in lieu of such written notice, a Borrower may give an Issuer (i) notice of such
request by tested telex or other tested arrangement satisfactory to such Issuer or (ii) telephonic
notice of such request if confirmed in writing by

31

 

delivery to such Issuer (A) immediately (x) of a
telecopy of the written notice required hereunder which has been signed by an Authorized Officer of
such Borrower or (y) of a telex containing all information required to be contained in such written
notice and (B) promptly (but in no event later than the requested time of issuance) of a copy of
the written notice required hereunder containing the original signature of an Authorized Officer of
such Borrower); such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify whether the Facility Letter of
Credit is a Euro Facility Letter of Credit (which, if denominated in any currency other than U.S.
Dollars, it must be) or a U.S. Facility Letter of Credit, the stated amount and Agreed Currency of
the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which requested currency shall be limited to an Agreed
Currency in which such Borrower may obtain Loans under this Agreement), the effective date (which
day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit, the date on
which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and
shall in no event be later than the fifth day prior to the Facility Termination Date), the Person
for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued and such other
information as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall give
notice to each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance of each Facility Letter of Credit
reasonably promptly after such Facility Letter of Credit is issued. At the time such request is
made, the requesting Borrower shall also provide the applicable Issuer with all information
necessary for the issuance of the Facility Letter of Credit it is requesting. Such notice, to be
effective, must be received by such Issuer not later than 2:00 p.m. (local time) or the time
otherwise agreed upon by such Issuer and such Borrower on the last Business Day on which notice can
be given under this Section 2.15.3.

     (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.15.3 and provided that the
applicable conditions set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 hereof have been satisfied, the Issuer
shall, on the requested date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the applicable
Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

     (c) The Issuers shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the
requirements of this Section 2.15 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being
requested and issued.

     2.15.4 Reimbursement Obligations. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer the
amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to the Issuer under or
in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower immediately when
due, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower, the Company or
any Subsidiary may have at any time against the Issuer or any other Person, under all
circumstances, including without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any
Subsidiary may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any
transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), any Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement,
any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions
(including any underlying transactions between any Borrower or any Subsidiary and the beneficiary named in
any Facility Letter of Credit);

32

 

     (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

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

     (v) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.

     (b) The Issuer shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower of any draw under a Facility
Letter of Credit. Such Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuer for drawings under a
Facility Letter of Credit issued by it on behalf of such Borrower promptly after the payment by the
Issuer. Any Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Facility Letter of Credit shall bear
interest from the date of the relevant drawings under the pertinent Facility Letter of Credit at
(i) in the case of such Obligations denominated in U.S. Dollars, the interest rate for Floating
Rate Loans or (ii) in the case of such Obligations denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, at
the correlative floating rate of interest customarily applicable to similar extensions of credit to
corporate borrowers denominated in such currency in the country of issue of such currency, as
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. In addition to its other rights, the Issuers
shall also have all rights for indemnification and reimbursement as each Lender is entitled under
this Agreement.

     2.15.5 Participation. (a) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuer of any Facility
Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.3, (i) with respect to
each U.S. Facility Letter of Credit, each U.S. Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided
interest and participation equal to its Pro Rata Share of such U.S. Facility Letter of Credit
(including, without limitation, all obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto)
and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto and (ii) with respect to each Euro
Facility Letter of Credit, each Euro Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally
purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation equal to its Pro Rata Share in such Euro Facility Letter of Credit (including,
without limitation, all obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto) and any
security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; provided, that a Letter of Credit issued
by an Issuer shall not be deemed to be a Facility Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section
2.15.5 if such Issuer shall have received written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender on or
before one Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more
of the conditions contained in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 are not then satisfied, and, in the event an
Issuer receives such a notice, it shall have no further obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
until such notice is withdrawn by that Revolving Credit Lender or such condition has been
effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     (b) In the event that an Issuer makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the
applicable Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.15.4, the
Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender
participating in such Letter of Credit of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender
participating in such Letter of Credit shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed
amount of any such payment in such currency. If any Revolving Credit Lender participating in such
Facility Letter of Credit fails to make available to such Issuer any amounts due to such Issuer
pursuant to this Section 2.15.5(b), such Issuer
shall be entitled to recover such amount, together with interest thereon (i) in the case of
amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for the first three
Business Days after such Lender receives such notice and thereafter, at the Floating Rate, or (ii)
in the case of amounts

33

 

denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, at a local cost of funds rate
for obligations in such currency as determined by the Administrative Agent for the first three
Business Days after such Lender receives such notice, and thereafter at the floating rate of
interest correlative to the Floating Rate customarily applicable to similar extensions of credit to
corporate borrowers denominated in such currency in the country of issue of such currency, as
determined by the Administrative Agent, in either case payable (i) on demand, (ii) by setoff
against any payments made to such Issuer for the account of such Lender or (iii) by payment to such
Issuer by the Administrative Agent of amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under this
Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative
Agent its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other
Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent
its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be
made, but no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving
Credit Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed
amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.

     (c) Whenever the Issuer receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including
any interest thereon, it shall promptly pay to each Revolving Credit Lender that has funded its
participating interest therein, in like funds as received an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share thereof.

     (d) The obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent
with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not
subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

     (e) In the event any payment by a Borrower received by the Administrative Agent with respect
to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on
account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the
Administrative Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy
proceeding, each Revolving Credit Lender that received such distribution shall, upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, contribute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount set aside, avoided or
recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Administrative Agent upon
the amount required to be repaid by it.

     2.15.6 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit. The Issuer of a Facility Letter
of Credit shall have the right to receive from the Borrower that requested issuance of such
Facility Letter of Credit, solely for the account of such Issuer, a fronting fee in an amount equal
to 0.10% per annum as well as the Issuer’s reasonable and customary costs of issuing and servicing
the Facility Letters of Credit. In addition, such Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender participating in such Facility Letter of Credit a
non-refundable fee at a per annum rate in the amount shown on the Pricing Schedule on Exhibit A
applied to the face amount of the Facility Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears for the
account of all Revolving Credit Lenders participating in such Facility Letter of Credit ratably
from the date such Facility Letter of Credit is issued until its stated expiry date or, if earlier,
the date of its termination or drawdown (provided that if such drawdown is a partial drawdown, such
fee shall continue to accrue with respect to the face amount of such Facility Letter of Credit
remaining available to be drawn).

     2.15.7 Letter of Credit Collateral Account. Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will,
until the final expiry of any Facility Letter of Credit issued on its account and thereafter as
long as any amount is payable to the Lenders in respect of any such Facility Letter of Credit, upon
the request of the

34

 

Administrative Agent, maintain a special collateral account (the “Letter of
Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified
pursuant to Article XIV, in the name of such Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which such Borrower shall have no
interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on
deposit from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of
the Administrative Agent having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.15.7
shall either obligate the Administrative Agent to require any Borrower to deposit any funds in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any
funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account other than as required by Section 8.1, and
the Borrowers’ obligations to deposit funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account are limited
to the circumstances required by Section 8.1.

     2.15.8 Nature of Obligations. (a) As among the Borrowers, the Issuers and the
Revolving Credit Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse
of the Facility Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Facility Letters of
Credit requested by it. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuers and the
Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency,
accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for and issuance of any Facility Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or
assign a Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in
whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the
beneficiary of a Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to
draw upon such Facility Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors
in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) misapplication by the beneficiary of a Facility Letter
of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Facility Letter of Credit; or (vii) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuers or the Revolving Credit Lenders.
In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.15, such Borrower hereby
agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Administrative Agent, each Issuer and each Lender
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the claims of third parties
against the Administrative Agent or such Issuer in respect of any Facility Letter of Credit
requested by such Borrower.

     (b) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove
set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuers or any Revolving Credit Lender under or in
connection with the Facility Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in
good faith, shall not put such Issuer or such Lender under any resulting liability to any Borrower
or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to the Issuers, the Administrative
Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.15.8, a Borrower
shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any Lender under
this Section 2.15 in respect of any liability incurred by each arising primarily out of the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Administrative Agent, Issuer or Lender, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, or out of the wrongful dishonor by such Issuer of a proper demand
for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by such Issuer as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction,
unless such dishonor was made at the request of such Borrower in writing, or out of the wrongful
honor by such Issuer of a demand for payment made under the Facility Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuer which demand for payment does not comply with the conditions required in order to draw
upon such

35

 

Facility Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, unless such
dishonor was made at the request of such Borrower in writing.

     Section 2.16. Swing Loans.

     (a) Making of Swing Loans. The Swing Lender may elect in its sole discretion to make
Swing Loans to any Borrower solely for the Swing Lender’s own account, from time to time prior to
the Facility Termination Date up to an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not
to exceed (i) in the case of Swing Loans to any Borrower under the U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitment, the lesser of (A) $30,000,000 and (B) the unused amount of the Aggregate U.S. Revolving
Credit Commitments (“U.S. Swing Loans”), and (ii) in the case of Swing Loans to any
Borrower under the Euro Revolving Credit Commitment, the lesser of (A) €15,000,000 or the Euro
Equivalent Amount thereof and (B) the unused amount of the Aggregate Euro Revolving Credit
Commitments (“Euro Swing Loans”). The Swing Lender may make Swing Loans (subject to the
conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), provided that the Swing Lender has received
a request in writing or, in the case of U.S. Swing Loans only, via telephone from an Authorized
Officer of such Borrower for funding of a Swing Loan no later than such time required by the Swing
Lender, on the Business Day on which such Swing Loan is requested to be made. The Swing Lender
shall not make any Swing Loan in the period commencing one Business Day after the Swing Lender
receives written notice from the Company or a Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent
contained in Section 4.2 are not satisfied and ending upon the satisfaction or waiver of such
condition(s). Swing Loans may be made by the Swing Lender in any freely traded currency requested
by such Borrower and agreed to by the Swing Lender. The Swing Lender agrees with the Borrowers that
all Swing Loans denominated in Australian Dollars will be funded out of the Swing Lender’s Lending
Installation in Australia unless the Swing Lender provides prior notice to the Borrowers, in which
case the Borrower requesting such Loan may withdraw its request for such Swing Loan. Each
outstanding Swing Loan shall be payable on the Business Day following demand therefor, with
interest at such rate to which the Swing Lender and such Borrower shall agree from time to time,
and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to Loans, except that all interest
thereon shall be payable to the Swing Lender solely for its own account. Notwithstanding provisions
to the contrary in this Agreement, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that U.S. Swing Loans may be
made under the U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment, and Euro Swing Loans may be made under the Euro
Revolving Credit Commitment, to any Borrower and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
availability under Section 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 may also be blocked by the Administrative Agent in an
amount equal to the approximate anticipated Swing Loan usage reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Company.

     (b) Swing Loan Borrowing Requests. Each Borrower of a U.S. Swing Loan made pursuant
to telephonic notice agrees to deliver promptly to the Swing Lender a written confirmation thereof
signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from
the action taken by the Swing Lender, the records of the Swing Lender shall govern, absent manifest
error.

     (c) Repayment of Swing Loans. At any time after making a Swing Loan, the Swing Lender
may request the recipient Borrower to, and upon request by the Swing Lender the recipient Borrower
shall, promptly request an Advance from all U.S. Lenders, with respect to any U.S. Swing Loan, and
all Euro Lenders, with respect to any Euro Swing Loan, and apply the proceeds of such Advance to
the repayment of such Swing Loan not later than the Business Day following the Swing Lender’s
request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the earlier to occur of (a) three Business Days after
demand is made by the Swing Lender and (b) the Facility Termination Date, the Borrower agrees that
each U.S. Swing Loan outstanding
in any currency other than Dollars shall be immediately and automatically converted to and
redenominated in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of each such U.S. Swing Loan
determined as of the date of such conversion and each Euro Swing Loan outstanding in any currency
other than Euros shall be

36

 

immediately and automatically converted to and redenominated in Euros
equal to the Euro Equivalent Amount of each such Euro Swing Loan determined as of the date of such
conversion, and each U.S. Lender, in the case of any U.S. Swing Loan, and each Euro Lender, in the
case of any Euro Swing Loan (other than, in each case, the Swing Lender), shall irrevocably and
unconditionally purchase from the Swing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest
and participation in such Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Swing Loan and promptly pay such amount to such Swing Lender in immediately available funds (or, in
the case of participations in Swing Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency other than
Euros, same day funds). Such payment shall be made by the other Lenders whether or not a Default
is then continuing or any other condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 is then met and
whether or not such Borrower has then requested an Advance in such amount. If any Lender fails to
make available to such requesting Swing Lender any amounts due to the Swing Lender from such Lender
pursuant to this Section, the Swing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such other local cost of funds rate
determined by the Swing Lender with respect to any Swing Loan denominated in any Available Foreign
Currency for the first three Business Days after such Lender receives notice of such required
purchase and thereafter, at the rate applicable to such Loan, payable (i) on demand, (ii) by setoff
against any payments made to the Swing Lender for the account of such Lender or (iii) by payment to
the Swing Lender by the Administrative Agent of amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under this
Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make available to such Swing Lender its Pro Rata Share of
any unpaid Swing Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make
available to the Swing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid Swing Loan on the date such payment
is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make
available to the Swing Lender its Pro Rata Share of any unpaid Swing Loan.

     2.17 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for
so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

     (a) fees shall cease to accrue pursuant to Section 2.5 on the Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender solely in respect of its unused Commitments;

     (b) the Commitments and Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, Required Euro Lenders, Required U.S.
Lenders or Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to
any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.2), provided that any waiver, amendment or
modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such
Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders (other than as a result of such
Defaulting Lender having a greater or lesser Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings or Commitment)
or which increases the amount of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, forgives any principal
amount of any Loans owing to such Defaulting Lender or any interest or fees owing to such
Defaulting Lender previously accrued at the time of such forgiveness or extends the Facility
Termination Date or extends the final maturity beyond the Facility Termination Date of any Loan,
Note or Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent
of such Defaulting Lender;

     (c) if any Swing Loans or Facility Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time a Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loans and
Facility Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings plus such Defaulting
Lender’s Pro

37

 

Rata Share of Swing Loans and Facility Letter of Credit Obligations does not
exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; and

(ii) to the extent, if any, the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can
only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three Business Days following notice
by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Loans and (y) second, cash
collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations (in each case after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause
(i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1 for so long as such
Facility Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding and such Defaulting Lender remains a
Defaulting Lender, provided that no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be obligated to make
any such payment in excess of, respectively, the principal amount of any outstanding Swing
Loans made to it or the amount of any Facility Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of
Facility Letters of Credit issued for its account;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1, no Borrower shall be
required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender (or to the Administrative Agent or Issuer
for the benefit thereof) pursuant to Section 2.15.6 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Pro Rata Share of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting
Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(c), then the fees payable to the
Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5 and Section 2.15.6 shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; or

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Facility Letter of Credit Obligations is
neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.17(c), then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees
that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the
portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Pro Rata Share of
Facility Letter of Credit Obligations) and letter of credit fees payable under Section
2.15.6 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations shall be payable to the Issuer until such Pro Rata Share of Facility Letter of
Credit Obligations is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

     (d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Lender shall not be required to
fund any Swing Loan and the Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Facility
Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered
by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the
Borrowers in accordance with this Section 2.17 and Section 8.1, and participating interests in any
such newly issued or increased Facility Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Loan shall be
allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(c)(i) (and
Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

     (e) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 but excluding Section 3.7) shall, in lieu of being
distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated
account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may
be determined by the

38

 

Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuer or Swing Lender hereunder, (iii) third,
to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest
in any Swing Loan or Facility Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers,
held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender
under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or
the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the
Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a
prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of
Reimbursement Obligations for which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations
and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied, such payment
shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all
non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or
reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

     In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuer and the Swing Lender
each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
be a Defaulting Lender, then the Pro Rata Shares of Swing Loans and Facility Letter of Credit
Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment
and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other
than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such
Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

     2.18 Guaranties. The Company shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and
delivered, to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent from time to time Guaranties of certain
present and future Domestic Subsidiaries such that, at all times, all Domestic Subsidiaries which
are not Guarantors do not, if considered in the aggregate as a single Subsidiary, constitute a
Significant Subsidiary. For purposes of making the determination required under the preceding
sentence, it is acknowledged that, as provided in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X as currently in
effect promulgated by the SEC, the investment in and advances to, and share of total assets and
income of, any Domestic Subsidiary shall be determined based on the investment in and advances to,
and share of total assets and income of, such Domestic Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis. In connection with the delivery of any such Guaranties, Company shall provide
such other documentation to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, one or more
opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, corporate documents and
resolutions, which in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent is necessary or advisable
in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Securitization

ARTICLE III

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES, TAXES

     3.1 Yield Protection. If after the date hereof any law or any governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the
force of law), or any change or modification thereof, or any interpretation thereof, or the
compliance of any Lender therewith,

	 	(a)	 	subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to
any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from any Borrower
or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender in respect of its
Loans or other amounts due it hereunder (excluding income taxes and franchise
taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or
any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein, other than any such connection arising solely from the
Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its
obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or
any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Lending
Installation of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is
located), or
	 
	 	(b)	 	imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve,
assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to
Fixed Rate Advances), or
	 
	 	(c)	 	imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase
the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation of making,
funding or maintaining loans or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or
any applicable Lending Installation in connection with loans, or requires any
Lender or any applicable Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by
reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it, by an amount
deemed material by such Lender,

then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender in accordance with and subject to Section 3.5, the
affected Borrower shall pay such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or
reduction in an amount received that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to making,
funding and maintaining its Loans or its Commitments.

     3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender reasonably determines that
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending
Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of
a Change, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender in accordance with and subject to Section
3.5, the Company shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the
rate of return on the portion of such increased capital that such Lender reasonably determines is
attributable to this Agreement, its Loans

40

 

or its
obligation to make Loans hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to
capital adequacy). “Change” means (a) any change after the date of this Agreement in the
Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (b) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or
quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement that affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Lending Installation or any corporation
controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital
guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition
rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside
the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation
and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital
Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the
date of this Agreement.

     3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender reasonably determines that
maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans or Multicurrency Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would
violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law,
or if the Required U.S. Lenders with respect to Eurodollar Loans or the Required Euro Lenders with
respect to any Multicurrency Loan determine that (i) deposits of a currency, type and maturity
appropriate to match fund Eurodollar or Multicurrency Loans are not available or (ii) the interest
rate applicable to a Multicurrency Loan or Eurodollar Loan does not accurately reflect the cost of
making or maintaining such Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of
the affected Type of Loans and require any Loans of the affected Type to be repaid at the end of
the Interest Period for the affected Loan. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions
referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Advance in any Agreed Currency other
than Dollars to the Company and with respect to any Advance to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, if
there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international
financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which
would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders make it
impracticable for the Multicurrency Loans comprising such Advance to be denominated in the Agreed
Currency specified by a Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof
to such Borrower and the Lenders, and such Loans shall not be made.

     3.4 Funding Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance occurs on a
date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration,
prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Fixed Rate Advance is not made on the date specified by a Borrower
for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or (c) a Fixed Rate Loan is assigned other than
on the last day of an applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Company pursuant
to Section 3.7, such Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any reasonable loss or reasonable cost
incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any reasonable loss or
reasonable cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed Rate
Advance, but excluding the loss of the Applicable Margin.

     3.5 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each
Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans and
Multicurrency Loans to reduce any liability of a Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1 and 3.2
or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.3, so long as such designation
is not disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Each Lender shall deliver a written
statement of such Lender to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to
the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such written statement shall set forth in
reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall state
that amounts determined in accordance with such procedures are being charged by such Lender to
other borrowers with credit facilities similar to this
Agreement and credit characteristics comparable to the Company as reasonably

41

 

determined by
such Lender and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest
error. Determination of amounts payable under such sections in connection with Eurodollar Loans
and Multicurrency Loans shall be calculated as though each Lender funded such Loans through the
purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in
determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall
be payable on demand after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement. The
obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 shall survive payment of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement. The Borrowers shall have no obligation to compensate
any Lender with respect to amounts provided in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.6 with respect to any
period prior to the date which is 120 days prior to the date such Lender delivers its written
statement hereunder requesting compensation, provided further that, if the event
giving rise to such request is due to the retroactive effect of any law, rule or regulation or in
the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance with any
request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

     3.6 Taxes.

     3.6.1 All payments of principal and interest made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and
any Note, if any, and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Facility Letters of Credit
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income
taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former
connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document) or any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or
any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Lending Installation of such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is located. If any such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”)
are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or any
Lender hereunder or under any Note or Facility Letter of Credit, the amounts so payable to the
Administrative Agent, such Issuer or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest
or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates and in the amounts specified in this
Agreement provided, however, that (i) with respect to any Loan to, or Facility
Letter of Credit for the benefit of, the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary Borrower, such Borrower
shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender that is not organized
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof if such Lender fails to comply
with the requirements of Section 3.6.2, (ii) with respect to any Loan to, or Facility Letter of
Credit for the benefit of, a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Borrower shall not be required to
increase any such amounts payable to any Lender if such Lender fails to comply with the
requirements of Section 3.6.3, and (iii) with respect to any Multicurrency Loan or any Euro
Facility Letter of Credit, a Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to
any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the extent such Lender could avoid the payment of such
amount by changing its Lending Installation, provided that any such change in any Lending
Installation shall not be required if such Lender cannot change its Lending Installation for any
reason or such Lender has determined that it is disadvantageous to it to do so.
Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as

42

 

promptly as possible thereafter
such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such
Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such
Borrower showing payment thereof. If a Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to
the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.

     3.6.2 Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof shall:

     (a) at least five Business Days before the date of the initial payment to be made by
the Company under this Agreement to such Lender, deliver to the Company and the
Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying
that it is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on
payments pursuant to this Agreement or in the case of a Lender that is relying on the
portfolio interest exemption, certifying that such Lender is a foreign corporation,
partnership, estate or trust;

     (b) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such
form or certification at least five Business Days before the date that any such form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Administrative Agent and
the Company;

     (c) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications
as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent; and

     (d) file amendments to such forms as and when required; and each Lender (or Transferee)
that is incorporated or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State
thereof shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of Form W-9, or
successor applicable form, at the times specified for delivery of forms under this Section
3.6.2 unless an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred after the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder which renders
all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and
delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Company may rely upon such forms
provided to the Company for all periods prior to the occurrence of such event. Each Person
that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 2.4(b), 3.7 or 13.1 shall,
upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms,
certifications and statements required pursuant to this Section, provided that in
the case of such Participant, the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this Section
3.6.2 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender.

     3.6.3 Each Lender to a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower that is not incorporated or organized under
the laws of the jurisdiction (a) under the laws of which such Borrower is incorporated or
organized, or (b) in which such Borrower is located shall, upon request by such Borrower, within a
reasonable period of time after such request, deliver to such Borrower or the applicable
governmental or taxing authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order
that any payment by such Borrower under this

43

 

Agreement
or any Notes to such Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Tax (or to allow any such deduction or
withholding to be at a reduced rate) imposed on such payment under the laws of the jurisdiction
under which such Borrower is incorporated or organized, provided that such Lender is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or certificate and such completion,
execution or submission would not prejudice the legal position of such Lender. Each Person that
shall become a Lender to a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or a Participant in Loans to a Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4(b), 3.7 or 13.1 shall, upon the effectiveness of the
related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements to the
extent required pursuant to this Section, provided that in the case of such Participant,
the obligations of such Participant pursuant to this Section 3.6.3 shall be determined as if such
Participant were a Lender.

     3.6.4 Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize any amounts that
might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6, provided that such effort shall
not impose on any such Lender any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such
Lender in its reasonable judgment to be material. In the event that any Lender determines that any
event or circumstance that will lead to a claim by it under this Section 3.6 has occurred or will
occur, such Lender will use its best efforts to so notify the Company in writing, provided
that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of any Lender to demand
and receive compensation under this Section 3.6.

     3.7 Substitution of Lender. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain
Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 when not all Lenders’ obligations to do so have
been suspended, (b) any Lender has demanded compensation under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.6 when all
Lenders have not done so, (c) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) any Lender has failed to
consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of
Section 8.2 or any other provision of any Loan Document which requires the consent of all affected
Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, the
Company shall have the right, if no Default then exists, to replace such Lender (a “Replaced
Lender”) with one or more other lenders (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”)
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement
pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignments
pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitments and outstanding Loans and
other obligations of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced
Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of principal of, and all
accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) the amount of all accrued,
but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender hereunder (subject, for the avoidance of
doubt, to Section 2.17(a)) and (C) the amount which would be payable by the Borrowers to the
Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.4, if any, if the Borrowers prepaid at the time of such
replacement all of the Loans of such Replaced Lender outstanding at such time; provided, that, no
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to compensation under clause (C) or under Section 3.4 upon any
such payment, and (ii) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other
than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase
price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender
concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignments, the payment
of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement
Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the
appropriate Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced
Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder. The provisions of this Agreement (including
without limitation Sections 3.4, 10.7 and 10.11) shall continue to govern the rights and
obligations of a Replaced Lender with respect to any Loans made or any other actions taken or
information received by such lender while it was a Lender. Nothing herein shall release any
Defaulting Lender from any obligation it may have to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers (insofar as the representations and
warranties set forth below relate to such Subsidiary Borrower) represents and warrants to the
Lenders that:

     5.1 Corporate Existence and Standing. Each Borrower and Guarantor is a corporation,
partnership, limited liability company or other organization, duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate, partnership,
company or similar authority to conduct its business as presently conducted (in each case, in the
case of Foreign Subsidiaries, to the extent such legal concepts are applicable thereto).

     5.2 Authorization and Validity. Each Borrower has the corporate or other power and
authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations
thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrowers of the Loan Documents and the
performance of their obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate or other
applicable company proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which they are a party constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with
their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

46

 

     5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the
Borrowers of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor
compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the
Company’s or any Subsidiary’s constitutive documents or the provisions of any indenture, instrument
or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which
it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Lien permitted by Section 6.12) in, of or on
the Property of the Company or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument
or agreement. Other than those that have been obtained, no order, consent, approval, license,
authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or
other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision
thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan
Documents.

     5.4 Financial Statements. The Company has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its
consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows (i) as of
and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reported on by KPMG, independent public
accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2009, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the
Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with
GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the
statements referred to in clause (ii) above. All financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries delivered to the Lenders on and after the Effective Date were prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared
and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of
the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than in the case of annual financial statements, subject to
the absence of footnotes and year-end audit adjustments).

     5.5 Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2008 or, after the first financial
statements are delivered under Sections 6.1(i) or (ii), since the date of the financial statements
most recently delivered under Section 6.1(i) or (ii), there has been no change in the business,
Property, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.6 Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax
returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed with any Governmental
Authority and have paid all taxes shown as due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any
assessment received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Authority, except
such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have
been provided in accordance with GAAP and as to which no Lien (other than as permitted by Section
6.12) exists. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any
such taxes, other than as permitted by Section 6.12. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are
adequate.

     5.7 Litigation and Guarantee Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.7 hereto,
there is no litigation, arbitration or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of any of the
Company’s executive officers, any governmental investigation or inquiry pending or any litigation,
arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry threatened against or affecting the
Company or any of its

47

 

Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or
delay the making of the Loans or Advances. Other than any liability incident to such
litigation, arbitration or proceedings listed on Schedule 5.7, the Company and its Subsidiaries
have no material Guarantee Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements
referred to in Section 5.4 that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 hereto contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries
of the Company as of the Effective Date, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of
incorporation or organization and the percentage of their respective Capital Stock owned by the
Company or other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such
Subsidiaries held by the Company have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable (to the extent such concepts are applicable).

     5.9 ERISA. Except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, each member of the Controlled Group has fulfilled its obligations under
the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Single Employer Plan.
Each member of the Controlled Group is in material compliance with the applicable provisions of
ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan except where such non compliance would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, each Single Employer Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable
requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event which has or may result in any liability
has occurred with respect to any Single Employer Plan, and no steps have been taken to terminate
any Single Employer Plan. No member of the Controlled Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum
funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any
contribution or payment to any Single Employer Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or made any amendment to
any Plan, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond
or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any actual liability under Title IV of
ERISA that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, other than a liability
to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA or a liability that has been satisfied.

     5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in
connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact
or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, as of the date thereof;
provided, however, that with respect to projected financial information and
information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the Company represents only that
such information has been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Company to be
reasonable.

     5.11 Regulations T, U and X. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries extends
or maintains, in the ordinary course of business, credit for the purpose, whether immediate,
incidental, or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock, and no part of the proceeds of any
Advance will be used for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental, or ultimate, of buying or
carrying any such Margin Stock or maintaining or extending credit to others for such purpose in any
way that would violate Regulation T, U or X. After applying the proceeds of each Advance, Margin
Stock will not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Company alone or
of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) that are subject to any provisions of
any Loan Document that may cause the Advances to be deemed secured, directly or indirectly, by
Margin Stock. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with Section 6.2.

48

 

     5.12 Material Agreements. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or
conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party (including any agreement or instrument
evidencing or governing Indebtedness), which default could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     5.13 Compliance With Laws; Properties. The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied
with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or
foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct
of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, failure to comply
with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.14 Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Company and its Subsidiaries have not
engaged in any non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loans (assuming the accuracy of the
following representations and warranties which the Lenders hereby make for the benefit of the
Borrowers: (i) that no part of the funds to be used by the Lenders for funding any of the Loans
shall constitute assets of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of ERISA or the assets of
a “plan” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code and (ii) that no Lender will transfer its
interest herein unless the prospective transferee makes the representations and warranties set
forth in this parenthetical phrase as if had originally been a party to this agreement) hereunder
will constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code.

     5.15 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of
the Company consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities
accruing to the Company and its Subsidiaries due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this
consideration, the Company has reasonably concluded that the Company and its Subsidiaries are not
in violation of any Environmental Laws in such a fashion that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any written notice
to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of
applicable Environmental Laws or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, are the subject of any federal
or state investigation evaluating whether any Remedial Action is required to be performed by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which non-compliance or Remedial Action could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.16 Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.

     5.17 Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) Except as described on Schedule 5.8, each Subsidiary
Borrower is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company (excluding director
qualifying shares); and

     (b) Each Subsidiary Borrower will have, upon becoming a party hereto, all right and authority
to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, and to perform
all of its obligations under this and each other Loan Document to which it is a party; all of the
foregoing actions will have been taken prior to any request for Loans by such Borrower, duly
authorized

49

 

by all necessary action
on the part of such Borrower, and when such Subsidiary Borrower becomes a party hereto, this
Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will constitute valid and binding
obligations of such Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as such
terms may be limited by the application of bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency and similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity.

     5.18 Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain insurance with financially
sound and reputable insurance companies (or self-insurance programs) on their Property in such
amounts (with such customary deductibles, exclusions and self-insurance) and covering such risks as
management of the Company reasonably considers consistent with sound business practice.

     5.19 Ownership of Properties. On the Effective Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries
will have good title, free of all Liens (other than as permitted by Section 6.12), to all Property
and assets reflected in their financial statements for such date as owned by them.

     5.20 Labor Controversies. There are no labor controversies pending or, to the best of
the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary, that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.21 Burdensome Obligations. The Company does not presently anticipate that future
expenditures needed to meet the provisions of federal or state statutes, orders, rules or
regulations will be so burdensome as to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries which, when taken together with all other Property of the Company and its Subsidiaries
so condemned, seized, appropriated, or taken custody or control of, during the twelve-month period

Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment which is not effectively stayed for a period of 30
consecutive days;

     7.10 Any member of the Controlled Group shall fail to pay when due an amount or amounts

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

     8.1 Acceleration. (a) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs, (i) the
obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligations of the Issuers to issue
Facility Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately
become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the
Borrowers hereby expressly waive and without any election or action on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender and (ii) each Borrower will be and become thereby
unconditionally obligated, without the need for demand or the necessity of any act or evidence, to
deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV, for deposit
into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount (the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”)
equal to the excess, if any, of

     (A) 100% of the sum of the aggregate maximum amount remaining available to be drawn under the
Facility Letters of Credit requested by such Borrower (assuming compliance with all conditions for
drawing thereunder) issued by an Issuer and outstanding as of such time, over

     (B) the amount on deposit for such Borrower in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at such
time that is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties (other than the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) and that has not been applied by the Lenders against the
Obligations of such Borrower.

     (b) If any Default occurs and is continuing (other than a Default described in Section 7.6 or
7.7), (i) the Required Lenders may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make
Loans and
the obligation of the Issuers to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder, or declare the
Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon (if so declared) the Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of
which the Borrowers hereby expressly waive and (ii) the Required Lenders may, upon notice delivered
to the Borrowers with outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and in addition to the continuing
right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on each such
Borrower to deliver (and each such Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Required Lenders and
without necessity of further act or evidence, be and become thereby unconditionally obligated to
deliver), to the Administrative Agent, at its

58

 

address specified pursuant to Article XIV, for
deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to the Collateral Shortfall
Amount payable by such Borrower.

     (c) If at any time while any Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent determines that
the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may
make demand on the Borrowers with outstanding Facility Letters of Credit to deliver (and each such
Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent and without necessity of further
act or evidence, be and become thereby unconditionally obligated to deliver), to the Administrative
Agent as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an
amount equal to such Collateral Shortfall Amount payable by such Borrower at such time.

     (d) The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations of the
relevant Borrowers and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by
the relevant Borrowers to the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

     (e) Neither the Borrowers nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrowers shall
have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. After
all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full or upon the request of the Company if no
Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower(s) or paid to
whoever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

     (f) The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised
such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the
Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent
shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
Persons with respect to any such funds.

     8.2 Amendments.

     8.2.1 Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the
Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may
enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to
the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrowers hereunder
or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, no such supplemental agreement
shall, (i) without the consent of the Required U.S. Lenders, allow any Borrower to obtain a U.S.
Revolving Credit Loan or U.S. Facility Letter of Credit if it would otherwise be unable to do so
absent such supplemental agreement, (ii) without the consent of the Required Euro Lenders, allow
the Company or any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower to obtain a Euro Revolving Credit Loan or Euro
Facility Letter of Credit if it would otherwise be unable to do so absent such supplemental
agreement, (iii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, modify any
rights or obligations of any kind of the Administrative Agent, (iv) without the consent of the
Swing Lender, modify any rights or obligations of any kind of the Swing Lender, and (v) without the
consent of the Issuer, modify any rights or obligations of any kind of the Issuer, and
provided further, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of
each Lender in the case of clauses (b), (d), (e) and (f) below, or without the consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby in the case of clauses (a) and (c) below:

59

 

     (a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, Note or Reimbursement Obligation or postpone any
regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal
amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (other
than, with respect to Swing Loans only, any reduction of the rate or extension of the time of
payment of principal, interest or fees thereon (if such extension is not beyond the Facility
Termination Date) or forgiveness of all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, which shall
require the consent of the Swing Lender only).

     (b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, Required Euro
Lenders or Required U.S. Lenders.

     (c) Extend the Facility Termination Date, or reduce the amount or extend the payment date for,
the mandatory payments required under Section 2.6, or increase the amount of any Commitment of any
Lender hereunder other than as allowed hereunder, or permit any Borrower to assign its rights under
this Agreement.

     (d) Amend this Section 8.2.1 or any provision hereof in a manner that would alter the pro rata
sharing of payments required under Section 2.10 (subject to Section 2.17) or the pro rata reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.4.

     (e) Release any Guarantor which is the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, provided that all
parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to release any Guarantor
(other than the Company) if 100% of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor is, directly or indirectly,
sold or otherwise transferred in a transaction permitted hereunder.

     (f) Increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitments other than as allowed hereunder.

     8.2.2 In addition to amendments effected pursuant to the foregoing, Schedule 1.1(b) may be
amended as follows:

     (i) Schedule 1.1(b) will be automatically amended to add Subsidiaries of the Company as
additional Subsidiary Borrowers upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) the execution and delivery by the Company, any such Subsidiary Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, of a Joinder Agreement providing for any such Subsidiary to become a
Subsidiary Borrower, (b) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of (A) a Domestic
Subsidiary Opinion or Foreign Subsidiary Opinion, as the case may be, in respect of such
additional Subsidiary Borrower and (B) such other documents and information with respect
thereto as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request (including without limitation
organizational documents, resolutions (if applicable), incumbency certificates and any other
documents and information required by the Act (as defined in Section 10.13)), (c) the making
of Loans by the applicable Lenders to, and the issuance of Facility Letters of Credit by the
applicable Issuer for the benefit of, such additional Subsidiary Borrower would not violate
any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law,
as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the applicable
Lenders, and (d) the written approval of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

     (ii) Schedule 1.1(b) will be automatically amended to remove any Subsidiary as a
Subsidiary Borrower upon (A) written notice by the Company to the Administrative Agent to
such effect and (B) repayment in full of all outstanding Loans, and all other obligations
(other

60

 

than contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which no claim has been made)
pursuant to any Loan Document, of such Subsidiary Borrower.

     (iii) It is acknowledged and agreed that there may be more than one Foreign Subsidiary
Borrower, provided that there may not be a number thereof more than reasonably allowed by
the Administrative Agent.

     8.2.3 No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to the
Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent.
No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Lender shall be
effective without the written consent of the Swing Lender. No modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement relating to any Issuer shall be effective without the written consent
of such Issuer. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.1
without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.

     8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be
a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the
existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to
such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any
such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan
Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to
Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies
contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

     9.1 Guarantee. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees
and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Subsidiary Borrowers when due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations owing by such
Subsidiary Borrowers.

     (b) The Company further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without
limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which are paid or incurred by the
Administrative Agent, or any Lender in enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or
all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, the
Company under this Section or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, obtaining advice of counsel
in respect thereof. This Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are
paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior
thereto the Borrowers may be free from any Obligations.

     (c) No payment or payments made by any Borrower or any other Person or received or collected
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any
action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to
time, in
reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise

61

 

affect the liability of the Company hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such
payment or payments, remain liable hereunder for the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in
full and the Commitments are terminated.

     (d) The Company agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any
payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability under this Section,
it will notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under
this Section for such purpose.

     9.2 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Company
hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Company by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, the Company shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or against any guarantee or right of
offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall
the Company seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrowers in
respect of payments made by the Company hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) are paid in full and the
Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company on account of such
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by the Company in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
segregated from other funds of the Company, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Company, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Company (duly endorsed by
the Company to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Administrative Agent may determine. The provisions
of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

     9.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. The Company
shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against
the Company, and without notice to or further assent by the Company, any demand for payment of any
of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may be rescinded by the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and any of the Obligations continued, and the
Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any guarantee
therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part be
renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and any Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the provisions thereof as the Administrative
Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any
guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the
payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure
any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Agreement or any
property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Company, the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other
Borrower or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make
any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Borrower or any such other guarantor or
any release of the Borrowers or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall
not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the

62

 

Company. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

     9.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Company waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon this Agreement or acceptance of this
Agreement; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Agreement;
and all dealings among the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in
reliance upon this Agreement. The Company waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Subsidiary Borrowers and the Company
with respect to the Obligations. This Article IX shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability
of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any guarantee or right of
offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance by any Borrower) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower
against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or
without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower) that constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers for the Obligations, or of the Company
under this Section 9.4, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than a defense of payment or
performance by the Borrowers). When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the
Company, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue
such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower or any other Person or against any
guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any
payments from the Borrowers or any such other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to
exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrowers or any such other Person or of
any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Company of any liability hereunder,
and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Company. This Article IX
shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its
terms upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and
assigns, until all the Obligations have been satisfied by payment in full and the Commitments shall
be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement the
Borrowers may be free from any Obligations. The obligations of the Company under this Article IX
shall be joint and several with all obligations of all other Guarantors under any Guaranty at any
time (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Guarantor that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall
not be liable under any Guaranty for the Obligations of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary
Borrower), and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion to pursue its
remedies against any Guarantor without the need to pursue its remedies against any other Guarantor,
whether now or hereafter in existence, or against any one or more Guarantors separately or against
any two or more jointly, or against some separately and some jointly.

     9.5 Reinstatement. This Article IX shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or upon or
as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or Trustee or similar officer for,
any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made.

63

 

     9.6 Payments. The Company hereby agrees that all payments required to be made by it
hereunder will be made to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in accordance
with the terms of the Obligations, including, without limitation, in the currency in which payment
is due.

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

     10.1 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrowers
contained in this Agreement shall survive delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the
Loans herein contemplated.

     10.2 Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to a Borrower in violation of any
limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

     10.3 Taxes. Any taxes (excluding income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of
income taxes), imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former
connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental
Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document) or any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or
any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Lending Installation of such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is located) or other similar assessments or
charges made by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of the Loan Documents shall be
paid by the Company, together with interest and penalties, if any.

     10.4 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan
Documents.

     10.5 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
relating to the subject matter thereof other than any fee letters among any Borrowers and either of
the Administrative Agent and any other agreements of any of the Borrowers with the Administrative
Agent which survive the execution of the Loan Documents.

     10.6 Several Obligations; Benefits of this Agreement. The respective obligations of
the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any
other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The
failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to
confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns.

     10.7 Expenses; Indemnification. (i) The Borrowers shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable external attorneys’
fees) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution,

64

 

delivery, syndication, review, amendment, modification, and administration (including,
without limitation, preparation of the reports described below) of the Loan Documents. The
Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any reasonable costs
and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable external attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Loan
Documents. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that from time to time the Administrative Agent may
prepare and may distribute to the Lenders (but shall have no obligation or duty to prepare or to
distribute to the Lenders) certain audit reports (the “Reports”) pertaining to any
Borrower’s and Guarantors’ assets for internal use by the Administrative Agent from information
furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrowers, after the Administrative Agent has exercised its
rights of inspection pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, if any Lender requests copies of
any future similar Reports which the Administrative Agent has prepared, then the Administrative
Agent will provide such reports to such Lender provided that such Lender has executed an indemnity
agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, such reports are
subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 10.11. The Borrowers further acknowledge
and agree that the Administrative Agent or any of its agents or representatives may conduct
reasonable comprehensive field audits of the Property of the Company and each Subsidiary, financial
or accounting records of the Company and each Subsidiary and other documents of the Company and
each Subsidiary, in each case only to the extent any of the foregoing is reasonably related to the
credit evaluation by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, provided that
(x) other than after the occurrence and during continuance of a Default, no more than one such
comprehensive field audit shall be conducted in any fiscal year and (y) only after the occurrence
and during continuance of a Default shall such field audits be at the Company’s expense.

          (ii) The Borrowers hereby further agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
and their respective directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages,
penalties, judgments, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all
reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Administrative Agent
or any Lender is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur at any time arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or the
direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Facility
Letters of Credit hereunder except to the extent that they are determined in a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the party seeking indemnification or a claim by any Borrower for breach in bad faith
of such indemnified party’s contractual obligations. The obligations of the Borrowers under this
Section 10.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     10.8 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used
herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance
with GAAP. For purposes of Article VI (including any baskets or limitations expressed in U.S.
Dollars therein) of this Agreement, any Indebtedness, Investment or other amount made or incurred
in any currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent Amount thereof.

     10.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to
be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that
jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

     10.10 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrowers and the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the
Administrative

65

 

Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to
review or inform any Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of such Borrower’s
business or operations. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall have liability to any Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses
suffered by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the
transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act,
omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable order that such losses resulted from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of, or violation of applicable laws or any of the Loan Documents
by, the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue
for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Borrowers in connection with,
arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
thereby.

     10.11 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the
Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and be instructed and agree to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority or by applicable laws or regulations, (iii) to the extent
required by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided, however, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and if practical to do so under the circumstances, that the Person
relying on this clause (iii) shall provide the Company with prompt notice of any such required
disclosure so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and in the
event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such Person will furnish only
that portion of the Information which is legally required, (iv) to any other party to this
Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Borrowers and their obligations, (vii) as permitted by Section 13.2 hereof, (viii) with the
consent of the Company or (ix) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section or any agreement contemplated by this Section or (2)
becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuers or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Company (and not in breach of this Section or any agreement
contemplated by this Section). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary
or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent,
any Issuer or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any
Subsidiary. 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.

          (b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 10.11(a) FURNISHED TO IT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND
ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT
HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT
IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND
APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

66

 

          (c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY
OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY
AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE
COMPANY AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A
CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

     10.12 Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking
to any Margin Stock for the repayment of the Loans provided for herein.

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

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

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as
its agent 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, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

     The bank 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 such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

67

 

     The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or
Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as required hereunder), and (c) except as
expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as 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 with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 8.2.1) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a
Lender, and 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement 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.

     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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

     The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of 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.
Without limiting the foregoing, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, an Affiliate of the Administrative
Agent, or any successor-in-interest-thereto, may perform the Administrative Agent’s functions with
respect to Multicurrency Loans, including Euro Swing Loans.

     Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuers and the
Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and

68

 

the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a
bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance
of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall
be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and
such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 9.03 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own 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 and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

     Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent, Documentation
Agent, Managing Agent nor co-agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as a Lender.
Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary
relationship with any Lender.

ARTICLE XII

SETOFF; ADJUSTMENTS AMONG LENDERS

     12.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders
under applicable law, if any Default occurs and is continuing, any and all deposits (including all
account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any
other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of any
Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender by
such Borrower.

     12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment
made to it upon its Obligations owing from a Borrower (other than payments received pursuant to
Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 or 10.7) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender
on its Obligations owing from such Borrower, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase
a portion of the Advances to such Borrower held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase
each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Advances to such Borrower. If any Lender, whether
in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives any
protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff from or with respect
to any Borrower, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that
all Lenders share in the benefits of such protection ratably
in proportion to their Obligations owing by such Borrower. In case any such payment is disturbed by
legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

69

 

ARTICLE XIII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

     13.1 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuers
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

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

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

          (B) the Administrative Agent and the Issuers, provided that no consent of the
Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee
that is a Lender with a Commitment of same Class immediately prior to giving effect to such
assignment.

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

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of
any Class, the amount of such Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000
in the case of a U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment and/or U.S. Loan or, in the case of a Euro
Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Euro Loan, €5,000,000, unless each of the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the
Borrowers shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing or if the assignment
is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to any
Class of Commitments or Loans; 

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and

70

 

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit
contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrowers and their related parties or their respective securities)
will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the
assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities
laws.

          For the purposes of this Section 13.1, the term “Approved Fund” has the following
meaning:

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

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, subject to
paragraph (d) of this Section, 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 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6 and 10.7 and the obligations
of Section 10.11 with respect to Information (as defined in such Section) received by it while a
Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 13.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall
maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer 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 Borrowers, the Issuer and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph
(b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender
or the assignee is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until
such payment shall have

71

 

been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuer or the Swing Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the other Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the
second proviso to Section 8.2.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d) of this
Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender. Each
Lender shall maintain at one of its offices a record for the recordation of the names and addresses
of its Participants and the amount and terms of the participations of its Participants (the
“Participant Register”).

          (d) No assignee or Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
3.1, 3.2 or 3.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
assignment to such assignee or participation sold to such Participant, unless the assignment to
such assignee or the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’
prior written consent, and shall not be entitled to any amount it would not be entitled to if it
were a Lender hereunder and complied with all provisions required of it hereunder.

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

     13.2 Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to
any Participant or potential assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan
Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and
all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound
by Section 10.11.

     13.3 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any
Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the United States or
any State thereof (in the case of a Transferee that is a Lender to the Company or a Domestic
Subsidiary Borrower) or (ii) the jurisdiction in which a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is located (in
the case of a Transferee which is a Lender to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower), the transferor
Lender shall cause such Transferee,

72

 

concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply
with the provisions of Section 3.6 and to be subject to Section 13.1(d).

ARTICLE XIV

or other communications, or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address
specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article II shall
not be effective until received.

     14.2 Change of Address. Any Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lender may
each change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties

ARTICLE XV

COUNTERPARTS

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together
shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing
any such counterpart. Except as provided in Section 4.1, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail message shall be effective as

respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New
York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court;

     (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any

     (b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding

law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

     (b) none of the Administrative Agent or any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with
or duty to such Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith
is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise

notices hereunder or thereunder and receipt of service of process in connection herewith or
therewith. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby explicitly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent
and each Lender have executed and delivered this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it
is a party, and has performed its obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document to
which it is a party, in reliance upon the irrevocable grant of such power of attorney pursuant to
this subsection. The power of attorney granted by each Subsidiary Borrower hereunder is coupled
with an interest.

     16.6 Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is
necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, under applicable law that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency in the city in
which it normally conducts its foreign exchange operation for the first currency on the Business
Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

     (b) The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Lender hereunder
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that
in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
(the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such
Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the
Judgment Currency; if the

75

 

amount of Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally
due to such Lender in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees notwithstanding any such
judgment to indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so
purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, such Lender agrees to remit to such
Borrower such excess.

assignment, transfer, modification of or addition or supplement to the Guaranteed Obligations or
any Agreement; (b) any extension, indulgence, increase in the Guaranteed Obligations or other
action or inaction in respect of any of the Agreements or otherwise with respect to the Guaranteed

disposition of any shares of Capital Stock of any Borrower; (g) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar proceedings involving or affecting any Borrower or any other guarantor of
the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) the release or discharge of any Borrower or Guarantor from the
performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition under any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or contained in any of the Agreements, of any Cumulative Guarantor or of this Guaranty,
by operation of law or otherwise (other than an express written release executed by the
Administrative Agent of any Guarantor from this Guaranty); or (i) any other cause whether similar
or dissimilar to the foregoing which, in the absence of this provision, would release (other than
an express written release executed by the Administrative Agent of any Guarantor from this
Guaranty), affect or impair the obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of any Guarantor
hereunder, including without limitation any act or omission by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent or any other any person which increases the scope of any Guarantor’s risk; and in each case
described in this paragraph whether or not any Guarantor shall have notice or knowledge of any of
the foregoing, each of which is specifically waived by each Guarantor. Each Guarantor warrants to
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that it has adequate means to obtain from each Borrower on
a continuing basis information concerning the financial condition and other matters with respect to
each Borrower and that it is not relying on any Lender or the Administrative Agent to provide such
information either now or in the future.

     4. Waivers, Etc. Each Guarantor unconditionally waives: (a) notice of any of the
matters referred to in Paragraph 3 above; (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of
law or otherwise to preserve any rights of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, including,
without limitation, notice to the Guarantors of default, presentment to and demand of payment or
performance from any Borrower and protest for non-payment or dishonor; (c) any right to the
exercise by any Lender or the Administrative Agent of any right, remedy, power or privilege in
connection with any of the Agreements; (d) any requirement of diligence or marshaling on the part
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent; (e) any requirement that any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, in the event of any default by any Borrower, first make demand upon or seek
to enforce remedies against, any Borrower or any other Cumulative Guarantor before demanding
payment under or seeking to enforce this Guaranty; (f) any right to notice of the disposition of
any security which any Lender or the Administrative Agent may hold from any Borrower or otherwise
and any right to object to the commercial reasonableness of the disposition of any such security;
and (g) all errors and omissions in connection with any Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s
administration of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any of the Agreements or any other Cumulative
Guarantor, or any other act or omission of any Lender or the Administrative Agent which changes the
scope of such Guarantor’s risk. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be complete and
binding forthwith upon the execution of this Guaranty by it and subject to no condition whatsoever,
precedent or otherwise, and notice of acceptance hereof or action in reliance hereon shall not be
required.

     5. Nature of Guaranty; Payments. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional,
irrevocable and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection, and is wholly
independent of and in addition to other rights and remedies of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent with respect to any Borrower, any collateral, any Cumulative Guarantor or otherwise, and it
is not contingent upon the pursuit by any Lender or the Administrative Agent of any such rights and
remedies, such pursuit being hereby waived by each Guarantor. The obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall be continuing and shall continue (regardless of any statute of limitations
otherwise applicable) and cover and include all the Guaranteed Obligations of each Borrower
accruing or in the process of accruing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent before the
Administrative Agent delivers to the Guarantors a release of this Guaranty, which is in writing,
refers specifically to this Guaranty (or is a general release given in connection with termination
of the Credit Agreement and payment in full thereof), and is signed by a President, a Senior
Vice President, or a Vice President of the Administrative Agent. Nothing shall discharge or
satisfy the liability of any Guarantor

3

 

hereunder except such a release or the full and irrevocable payment and performance of all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration or termination of all the Agreements. All payments to be
made by the Guarantors hereunder shall be made without set-offs or counterclaim, and each Guarantor
hereby waives the assertion of any such set-offs or counterclaims in any proceeding to enforce its
obligations hereunder. All payments to be made by each Guarantor hereunder shall be governed by
the provisions of Section 3.6 of the Credit Agreement as if payments by a Borrower thereunder. Each
Guarantor agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment previously applied by any
Lender or the Administrative Agent to any of the Guaranteed Obligations must be returned by such
Lender or the Administrative Agent for any reason, whether by court order, administrative order, or
settlement and whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance” or otherwise, each
Guarantor remains liable for the full amount returned as if such amount had never been received by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty or any
cancellation of any of the Agreements and the Guaranteed Obligations and all obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated in such case.

     6. Evidence of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s
books and records showing the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in any action or
proceeding, shall be binding upon each Guarantor for the purpose of establishing the Guaranteed
Obligations due from the Borrowers and shall constitute prima facie proof, absent manifest error,
of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as well
as the obligations of each Guarantor to such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

     7. Subordination, Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that all
present and future indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to such Guarantor
shall be fully subordinate and junior in right and priority of payment to any indebtedness of the
Borrowers to the Lenders, and no Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation, contribution
(including but without limitation the contribution and subrogation rights granted below),
reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever nor any right of recourse to security for the debts and
obligations of the Borrowers unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full, such payment is not subject to any possibility of revocation or rescission and all Agreements
have expired or been terminated. Subject to the preceding sentence, if any Guarantor makes a
payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations it shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee
against the Borrowers with respect to such payment and shall have the rights of contribution set
forth below against all other Cumulative Guarantors and each Guarantor agrees that all other
Cumulative Guarantors shall have the rights of contribution against it set forth below. If any
Guarantor makes a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations that is smaller in proportion to
its Payment Share (as hereinafter defined) than such payments made by the other Cumulative
Guarantors are in proportion to the amounts of their respective Payment Shares, such Guarantor
shall, when permitted by the first sentence of this Section 7, pay to the other Guarantors an
amount such that the net payments made by the Cumulative Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be shared among the Cumulative Guarantors pro rata in proportion to their
respective Payment Shares. If any Guarantor receives any payment by way of subrogation that is
greater in proportion to the amount of its Payment Share than the payments received by the other
Cumulative Guarantors are in proportion to the amounts of their respective Payment Shares, such
Guarantor shall, when permitted by the first sentence of this Section 7, pay to the other
Cumulative Guarantors an amount such that the subrogation payments received by the Guarantors shall
be shared among the Cumulative Guarantors pro rata in proportion to their respective Payment
Shares.

     For purposes of this Guaranty, the “Payment Share” of any Cumulative Guarantor shall be the
sum of (a) the aggregate proceeds of the Guaranteed Obligations received by such Guarantor (and, if
received subject to a repayment obligation, remaining unpaid on the Determination Date, as
hereinafter defined), plus (b) the product of (i) the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations remaining
unpaid on the date such Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable in full, whether by stated
maturity, acceleration or otherwise (the

4

 

“Determination Date”) reduced by the amount of such Guaranteed Obligations attributed to all of
the Cumulative Guarantors pursuant to clause (a) above, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of
which is such Guarantor’s net worth on the effective date of this Guaranty (determined as of the
end of the immediately preceding fiscal reporting period of the Guarantor), and the denominator of
which is the aggregate net worth of all of the Cumulative Guarantors, determined for each
Cumulative Guarantor on the respective effective date of the guaranty signed by such Cumulative
Guarantor.

     8. Assignment. Each Lender’s and the Administrative Agent’s successors and assigns
(if pursuant to an assignment complying with Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement) shall have the
right to rely upon and enforce this Guaranty.

     9. Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder and all
other Cumulative Guarantors shall be joint and several and each Guarantor shall be liable for all
of the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent provided herein regardless of any other Cumulative
Guarantors, and each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole
discretion to pursue its remedies against any Guarantor without the need to pursue its remedies
against any other Cumulative Guarantor, whether now or hereafter in existence, or against any one
or more Cumulative Guarantors separately or against any two or more jointly, or against some
separately and some jointly.

     10. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

          (a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty are within its
corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by
or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official, and do not contravene
or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the articles of
incorporation or other charter documents or bylaws of such Guarantor, or of any agreement,
judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such Guarantor, or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance on any
asset of such Guarantor;

          (b) this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each Guarantor,
enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms;

          (c) as of the date hereof, each of the following is true and correct for each Guarantor, after
giving effect to Section 7: (i) the fair saleable value and the fair valuation of such Guarantor’s
property is greater than the total amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and
greater than the amount that would be required to pay its probable aggregate liability on its
existing debts as they become absolute and matured, (ii) each Guarantor’s capital is not
unreasonably small in relation to its current and/or contemplated business or other undertaken
transactions, and (iii) each Guarantor does not intend to incur, or believe that it will incur,
debt beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due; and

          (d) the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the other affiliates of the Borrowers are engaged as an
integrated group in related businesses; that the integrated operation requires financing on such a
basis that credit supplied to the Borrowers can be made available from time to time to various
subsidiaries of the Borrowers, as required for the continued successful operation of the integrated
group as a whole; and that each Guarantor has requested the Lenders to continue to lend and to make
credit available to the Borrowers for the purpose of financing the integrated operations of the
Borrowers and its subsidiaries, including each Guarantor, with each Guarantor expecting to derive
benefit, direct or indirectly, from the loans and other credit extended by the Lenders to the
Borrowers, both in such Guarantor’s separate capacity and as a
member of the integrated group, inasmuch as the successful operation and condition of each
Guarantor is dependent upon the continued

5

 

successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole. Each of the Guarantors
hereby determines and agrees that the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty are
necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of such Guarantor
and in furtherance of the corporate purposes of such Guarantor.

     11. Binding on Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be the valid, binding and
enforceable obligation of the Guarantors and their successors and assigns.

     12. Indemnity. As a separate, additional and continuing obligation, each Guarantor
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with each Lender and the Administrative Agent
that, should the Guaranteed Obligations not be recoverable from any Guarantor as guarantor under
this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by reason of any provision
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Agreements being or becoming void, unenforceable, or
otherwise invalid under any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any knowledge thereof by any
Lender or the Administrative Agent at any time, each Guarantor as original and independent obligor,
upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will make payment to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent of the Guaranteed Obligations by way of a full indemnity.

     13. Cumulative Rights and Remedies, Etc. The obligations of each Guarantor under this
Guaranty are continuing obligations and a new cause of action shall arise in respect of each
default hereunder. No course of dealing on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, nor
any delay or failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege or
otherwise prejudice the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder; nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Guaranty is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other
right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing under any applicable law. Every right
and remedy given by this Guaranty or by applicable law to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent.

     14. Severability. If any one or more provisions of this Guaranty should be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected, impaired, prejudiced or disturbed
thereby, and any provision hereunder found partially unenforceable shall be interpreted to be
enforceable to the fullest extent possible. If at any time all or any portion of the obligation of
any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or avoidable under Section 548 of the federal Bankruptcy
Code or under any fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws or similar applicable law of any
jurisdiction, then notwithstanding any other provisions of this Guaranty to the contrary such
obligation or portion thereof of such Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the
greatest of (i) the value of any quantified economic benefits accruing to such Guarantor as a
result of this Guaranty, (ii) an amount equal to 95% of the excess on the date the relevant
Guaranteed Obligations were incurred of the present fair saleable value of the assets of such
Guarantor over the amount of all liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, and (iii)
the maximum amount of which this Guaranty is determined to be enforceable.

     15. Merger; Amendments; Headings. This Guaranty is intended as a final expression of
the subject matter hereof and is also intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms
hereof. Each Guarantor’s liability hereunder is independent of and in addition to its liability
under any other guaranty
previously of subsequently executed. No course of dealing, course of performance or trade usage,
and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms hereof, nor
are there any

6

 

conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty. None of the terms and provisions of this
Guaranty may be waived, altered, modified or amended in any way except by an instrument in writing
executed by duly authorized officers of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors. The headings
of the various paragraphs hereof are for the convenience of reference only and shall in no way
modify any of the terms hereof.

     16. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR, AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH
LENDER IN ACCEPTING THIS GUARANTY, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING
INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN
ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED
HEREUNDER.

     18. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:

     (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Guaranty, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in
respect hereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of any United States
federal or New York state court sitting in New York, New York and appellate courts
from any thereof;

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

     (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at the
address specified in Section 19, or at such other address of which the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

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

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

     19. Notices. Any notice, demand, consent or request given or made to each Guarantor
by any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been duly given or made if sent
in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement, to such
Guarantor to the address, facsimile number or email address set forth below the name of such
Guarantor on the signature page hereof, or at such other address, facsimile number or email address

EXHIBIT G

MANDATORY COSTS

	1.	 	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of
compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services
Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions)
or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
	 
	2.	 	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the
Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost
Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost
will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’
Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender
in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
	 
	3.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating
Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This
percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be
its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s
participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum
reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility
Office.
	 
	4.	 	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom
will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

	 	(a)	 	in relation to a sterling Loan:
	 
	 	 	 	
 
per cent. per annum
	 
	 	(b)	 	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:
	 
	 	 	 	 
 
per cent. per annum.

        Where:

	 	A 	 	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess
of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an
interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio
requirements.
	 
	 	B 	 	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the
Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest
specified in Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement) payable for the relevant Interest
Period on the Loan.
	 
	 	C 	 	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is
required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the
Bank of England.

1

 

	 	D 	 	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the
Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	 
	 	E 	 	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules
and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent
rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

	5.	 	For the purposes of this Exhibit G:

(a) “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to
them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may
be appropriate) by the Bank of England.

(b) “Facility Office” means the office or offices notified by a Lender to the
Administrative Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender (or,
following that date, by not less than five Business Days’ written notice) as the
office or offices through which it will perform its obligations under this
Agreement.

(c) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA
Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to
time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits.

(d) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the
activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee
required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount
rate).

(e) “Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that
adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation
of the European Union relating to economic and monetary union.

(f) “Reference Banks” means, in relation to Mandatory Cost, the principal London
offices of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

(g) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in
accordance with, the Fees Rules.

(h) “Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by any Borrower
under the Loan Documents.

	6.	 	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as
percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A
negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting
figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
	 
	7.	 	If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable
after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the
rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to
the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority
(calculated for this purpose by that
Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs
applicable to that

2

 

	 	 	Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per
£1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

	8.	 	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose
of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender
shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	 	(a)	 	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require
for such purpose.

	 	 	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information
provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

	9.	 	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of
each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent
based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the
assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each
Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as
those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the
same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
	 
	10.	 	The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results
in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to
assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3,
7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
	 
	11.	 	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the
Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based
on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7
and 8 above.
	 
	12.	 	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Exhibit G in relation to a
formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
	 
	13.	 	The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the
Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to
this Exhibit G in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from
time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European
Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions)
and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding
on all Parties.
