irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice

Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the

23

 

Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not
the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by

continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate
Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of

If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will

Rate Loans described in the preceding clause. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender
shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account
of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer
of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed
Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings
outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in
full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as
provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate
Committed Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as,

24

 

converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans without the consent of the Required
Lenders.

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

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

     2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

     (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in
reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from
time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in
accordance with clause (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of
Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for
the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder;
provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any
Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y)
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower
for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be
fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn
upon and reimbursed.

     (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

     (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or
last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

25

 

     (B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry
date.

     (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if:

     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the
Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in
particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit
any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall
impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems
material to it;

     (B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;

     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer,
the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $500,000;

     (D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
or

     (E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has
entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory
to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to
eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving
effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising
from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit
and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential
Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

     (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be
permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms
hereof.

     (v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A)
the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its
amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not
accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

26

 

     (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any
Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer
shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in
Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer
Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or
omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit; Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit.

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least two
Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance
date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial
issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the
requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the
expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents
to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of
any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G)
the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the
L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B)
the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of
the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.
Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance
or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent
may reasonably require.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if
not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the
L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of
the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in
Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the
account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the

27

 

applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C
Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount
of such Letter of Credit.

     (iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer will issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an
“Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in
each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by
giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of
Credit is issued. The Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the
Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit
the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the
Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit
any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or
would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form
(as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before
the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders
have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section
4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit
such extension.

     (iv) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
L/C Issuer will issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or
a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an
“Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). The Borrower shall not be required to make
a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an
Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following
sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C
Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the
provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or
any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such
non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the
“Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has
received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is
seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent
that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable

28

 

conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (treating such
reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case,
directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

     (v) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the
L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit, if the Borrower has been so notified at or before 1:00
p.m. on such date, otherwise not later than 2:00 p.m. on the next Business Day (each such
date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower
fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the
Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section
2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given
by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

     (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount
equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available
shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that
is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on

29

 

demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such
event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

     (iv) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be
solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any
other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C
Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the
L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit,
together with interest as provided herein.

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C
Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C
Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan
included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the

30

 

account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other Loan Document;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

     (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;

     (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

31

 

     (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

     The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document
or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent,
any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C
Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)
through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C
Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as
opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves
were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a
sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a 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.

     (g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of
Credit.

     (h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the

32

 

“Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate
times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided
that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with
respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward
adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant
to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for
its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter
of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section
1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the
end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable
Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall
be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of
Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

     (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the fee letter dated as of October 29,
2010 between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, computed on the daily amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears Such fronting fee shall be
due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December
in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the
first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of
computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such
Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C
Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and
standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

     (j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

     (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of
Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Subsidiary of the
Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all
drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit in support of obligations of a Subsidiary of the Borrower inures to the benefit
of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses
of its Subsidiaries.

33

 

     2.04 Swing Line Loans.

     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing
Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section
2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to
the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate
amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line
Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that after giving
effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate
Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans
shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; and provided, further, that the Borrower
shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.
Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this
Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making
of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an
amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing
Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line
Lender in immediately available funds.

34

 

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of
the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its
behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed
Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section
2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender
shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount
equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative
Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan)
for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than
1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed
Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the
period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is
immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.
If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing
or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate
of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

35

 

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Lender’s
obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans,
together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof
in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative
Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent
will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the
Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender
funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to
refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such
Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

     (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

     2.05 Prepayments.

     (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Committed
Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or

36

 

a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate
Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed
Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest
Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt
of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.
If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Subject to Section 2.16, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

     (b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment,
and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000. Each such
notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

     (c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then
in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrower shall
not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)
unless after the prepayment in full of the Committed Loans and Swing Line Loans the Total
Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.

     2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce
the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination
or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing
Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of
any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable
Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

37

 

     2.07 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal
amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date.

     (b) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten
Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

     2.08 Interest.

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

     (b) Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere
in any Loan Document, effective immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a) and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be
continuing, the principal balance of all overdue Obligations (including any Obligation that bears
interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the Default Rate, in the case of overdue principal, and, in the case of other
overdue amounts, to the extent permitted by Law, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate,
payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable.

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

     2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in clauses (h) and (i) of
Section 2.03:

     (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender, subject to Section 2.16, in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by
which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and
(ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section
2.16. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including
at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall
be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, with payments commencing on March 31, 2011, and on the last day of the Availability
Period. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in
the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be

38

 

computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

     (b) Other Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever.

     (ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately
agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be
fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

     2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans
(including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days
elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the
basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is
made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made
shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.

     2.11 Evidence of Debt.

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

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a), each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters,

39

 

the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error.

     2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

     (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the
case may be.

     (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender
will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time
required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender
and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the
greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and
(B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the
same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the
amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the
applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall
have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

40

 

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

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

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

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

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

     2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans
held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share
thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater

41

 

proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash
at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and
Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other
amounts owing them; provided that:

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

     (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement (including the application of funds arising in connection with Section
2.14 or from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash
Collateral provided for in Section 2.15, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans
or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this Section shall apply).

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

     2.14 Increase in Commitments.

     (a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time,
request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments (which increase may take the form of new revolving
loan tranches) by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $100,000,000 in the aggregate;
provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of
$10,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests. At the time of
sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the
time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than
ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

     (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by
an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested
increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to
increase its Commitment.

42

 

     (c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to
become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and its counsel.

     (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the
effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation
of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

     (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower
dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date,
except that (i) to the extent such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, (ii) such
representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects to the extent that they
are qualified by a materiality standard and (iii) for purposes of this Section 2.14, the
representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section
5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The
Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any
nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

     (f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

     2.15 Cash Collateral.

     (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or
the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any
Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall,
in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.
At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after
giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting
Lender).

43

 

     (b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not
constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit
accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender,
hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees
to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of
the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash
Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable
Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting
Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative
Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

     (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit
or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations,
Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for
which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may
be provided for herein.

     (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce
Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of
the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the
termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee
following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good
faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (x) that Cash
Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance
of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section
2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person
providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that
Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting
Exposure or other obligations.

     2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

     (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

     (i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be
restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

44

 

     (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise,
and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the
payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or
requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future
funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or
Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that
Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender
has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at
a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such
payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all
non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any
Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or
other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section
2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each
Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

     (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to
receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) for
any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the
sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans funded by it and (2) its Applicable
Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans for which it has
provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section
2.15, or Section 2.16(a)(ii), as applicable (and the Borrower shall (A) be
required to pay to each of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the
amount of such

45

 

fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not
be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to
receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

     (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the
amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03
and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be
computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided
that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the
aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive
difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2)
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.

     (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without
giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

     (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, be made free and clear of
and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or
deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to
clause (e) below.

     (ii) If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to
withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and
withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or
make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon
the information and documentation it has received pursuant to clause (e) below, (B)
the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the
withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

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

     (c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of clause (a)
or (b) above and without duplication thereof, the Borrower shall, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in
respect thereof within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;
provided that any such written demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis and
calculation of the amounts for which an indemnity is sought. The Borrower shall also, and does
hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 15 days
after demand thereof, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay
indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) below. The applicable
Lender shall indemnify the Borrower, and make payment in respect thereof, within 10 days after
demand

47

 

therefor, for any amount which Borrower is required to pay to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event that the Administrative
Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer receives an Indemnification payment pursuant to this clause (c)
and the Borrower makes a written request to the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer
for its cooperation, the Administrative Agent, relevant Lender or the L/C Issuer shall cooperate
with the Borrower in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that (i)
the Administrative Agent, Lender or the L/C Issuer reasonably determines in good faith that it will
not suffer any adverse effect as a result thereof, (ii) all costs of such challenge are for the
account of the Borrower, and (iii), the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, Lender or
the L/C Issuer an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, Lender or
the L/C Issuer to the effect that there is substantial authority (within the meaning of Code
section 6662(d)(2)(B)(i)) to prevail on such refund claim.

     (ii) Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) or (b) above, each
Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after written
demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims,
liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the
failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of
the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to clause (e) below. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause
(ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or
replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of,
a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

     (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

     (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall
deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,

48

 

such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the
taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will
permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or
not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if
applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any
available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made
to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s
status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

     (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States,

     (A) any Lender or L/C Issuer that is a “United States person” within the
meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such
other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such
Lender or L/C Issuer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements; and

     (B) each Foreign Lender or L/C Issuer that is entitled under the Code or any
applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect
to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender or L/C Issuer
becomes a Lender or L/C Issuer under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if
such Foreign Lender or L/C Issuer is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party,

(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all
required supporting documentation,

(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder”
of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or
(C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section

49

 

881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, or

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

     (iii) Each Lender or L/C Issuer shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially
disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably
necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of
applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any
withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This clause (f) shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

     (g) FATCA. In addition, each Lender and L/C Issuer, on or prior to the date on which
such Lender and such L/C Issuer becomes a Lender and an L/C Issuer, respectively, hereunder and
from time to time thereafter either upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or
their respective agents or upon expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered
documentation, shall furnish the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation that
is required under the Code or applicable Treasury regulations to enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with

50

 

respect to any Taxes they may be required to withhold in respect of Section 1471 or 1472 of
the Code; provided that the furnishing of such documentation would not result in a material
adverse consequence to such Lender. In the event that either (i) the documentation required to be
delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence fails to establish a complete exemption
from withholding of amounts under Section 1471 and 1472 or (ii) no such required documentation is
delivered, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or L/C
Issuer pursuant to clause (a)(ii)(C), or to indemnify any Lender or L/C Issuer or pursuant
to clause (c) above, in respect of any such withholding imposed under Sections 1471 or
1472.

     3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or
to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank eurodollar market, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to
make or continue Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to
Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality
of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate
Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the
Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each
case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist; provided that before making such
determination and issuing such notice, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending
Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Lending Office to
continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or to continue to fund
or maintain Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall,
upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on
which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by
the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate),
either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans and (y) if such notice asserts
the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar
Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate
applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such
Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted.

51

 

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

     3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans.

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

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer; or

     (ii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans made
by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such
Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, within five
days after written request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable under this
Section 3.04(a) for the payment of any such amounts incurred or accrued more than 110 days
prior to the date on which notice of the event or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to make
such payment is given to the Borrower hereunder; provided, further, that (1) if the
Borrower objects in good faith to any payment demanded under this Section 3.04(a) on or
before the date such payment is due,

52

 

then the Borrower and the Lender or the L/C Issuer demanding such payment shall enter into
discussions to review the amount due and the Borrower’s obligation to pay such amount to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall be deferred for 30 days after the original
request for payment and (2) if the Borrower and such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
do not otherwise reach agreement on the amount due during such 30 day period, the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, at the end of such 30 day period the
amount requested by such Lender or the L/C Issuer to be due. If any Lender shall request any
payment from the Borrower under this Section 3.04(a) in respect of any increased costs,
such Lender agrees, upon request by the Borrower, to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its
internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if
the making of such a designation would avoid or reduce any such increased costs and would not, in
the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Any increase in the cost
to Lenders relating to any Taxes shall be excluded from this Section 3.04, and shall solely
be governed by Section 3.01 hereof.

     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable under this Section 3.04(b)
for the payment of any such amounts incurred or accrued more than 110 days prior to the date on
which notice of the event or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to make such payment is given
to the Borrower hereunder; and provided, further, that (A) if the Borrower objects
in good faith to any payment demanded under this Section 3.04(b) on or before the date that
such payment is due, then the Borrower and the Lender or the L/C Issuer demanding such payment
shall enter into discussions to review the amount due and the Borrower’s obligation to pay such
amount to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall be deferred for 30 days after
the original request for payment and (B) if the Borrower and such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, do not otherwise reach agreement on the amount due during such 30 day period, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, at the end of such 30 day
period the amount requested by such Lender or the L/C Issuer to be due.

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower
shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

53

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan made by it
at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the

54

 

London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or
not such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan was in fact so funded.

     3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

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

     3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and
resignation of the Administrative Agent.

not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.02 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower
of each Loan Document to which it is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of its

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

     (a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; and

in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as
otherwise expressly noted therein.

     (b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated
September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income or operations, shareholders’
equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly
noted therein, and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period

footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.

     (c) Except as set forth in the Public Filings, since June 30, 2010, there has been no event or
circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to
the knowledge of the Borrower after reasonable inquiry, threatened, at law, in equity, in
arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or
(b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.06, either individually or in the
aggregate, if

58

 

determined adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial effect on the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof, of the matters described on Schedule 5.06.

     5.07 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is in default under or with
respect to any Contractual Obligation that could, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any other Loan Document.

     5.08 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary has good record
and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary
or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by
Section 7.01.

     5.09 Environmental Compliance. The effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging
potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective
businesses, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.10 Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with

businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower or the applicable
Subsidiary operates.

     5.11 Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, and material state and
other tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, and material state

their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate
reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment against
the Borrower or any Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.

     5.12 ERISA Compliance.

     (a) Each Plan is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other
Federal or state laws, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section
401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the
trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal
income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a

59

 

letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the knowledge of the
Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

     (b) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or
lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or
violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     (c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to
constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan; (ii) the Borrower and each
ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of
each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules
has been applied for or obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan,
the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or
higher and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or circumstances that
could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to
drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date; (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA
Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there
are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid; (v) neither the Borrower nor any
ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section
4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof
nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be
expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any
Pension Plan.

     (d) Neither the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate has any obligation to contribute to, or
liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan.

     5.13 Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. As of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no
Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 5.13,
and, as of the Effective Date, all of the outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have
been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Borrower in the amounts
specified on Part (a) of Schedule 5.13 free and clear of all Liens. As of the
Effective Date, the Borrower has no equity investments in any other corporation or entity other
than those specifically disclosed in Part (b) of Schedule 5.13.

     5.14 Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.

     (a) The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important
activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock.

60

 

     (b) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     5.15 Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries
is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No written report, financial
statement, certificate or other written information, and no other information delivered at any
formal due diligence meeting with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, furnished by or on
behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or
under any other Loan Document (in each case, other than projected financial information,
information of a general economic nature, industry information and forward looking statements) (in
each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken as a whole,
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading at the time they were provided; provided that, with respect to projected
financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood and agreed
that such projected financial information is subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Borrower, that no assurance is given
that any particular projection will be realized, that actual results may differ from such
projections and that such differences may be material).

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

ARTICLE VI. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

     So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other Obligation (other
than any contingent indemnification or similar obligation not yet due and payable) hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, the Borrower shall,
and shall (except in the case of the covenants set forth in Sections 6.01, 6.02,
and 6.03) cause each Subsidiary to:

     6.01 Financial Statements. Deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders:

     (a) as soon as available, but in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Borrower, a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of
such fiscal year, and the related consolidated statements of income or operations, changes in
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in

comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and
prepared in accordance with GAAP, audited and accompanied by a report and opinion of KPMG LLP or
other independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing or otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders, which report and opinion shall be prepared in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any “going
concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of
such audit (other than a “going concern” or like qualification included in any such report and
opinion solely as a result of any then current Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
for which such auditor has not considered the Borrower and/or such Subsidiary’s ability to meet
such maturing obligations with reasonable and available financing alternatives (and other than
through or in connection with the sale of operating assets or other material revisions of
operations)); and

     (b) as soon as available, but in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first
three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Borrower, a consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal quarter, the related consolidated
statements of income or operations for such fiscal quarter and for the portion of the Borrower’s
fiscal year then ended, and the related consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity,
and cash flows for the portion of the Borrower’s fiscal year then ended, in each case setting forth
in comparative form, as applicable, the figures for the corresponding fiscal quarter of the
previous fiscal year and the corresponding portion of the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable
detail, certified by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as fairly presenting the financial
condition, results of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP, subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the
absence of footnotes.

As to any information contained in materials furnished pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the
Borrower shall not be separately required to furnish such information under clause (a) or
(b) above, but the foregoing shall not be in derogation of the obligation of the Borrower
to furnish the information and materials described in clauses (a) and (b) above at
the times specified therein.

     6.02 Certificates; Other Information. Deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, in
form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders:

     (a) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements referred to in Sections
6.01(a) and (b), a duly completed Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower (which delivery may, unless the Administrative Agent or a Lender requests
executed originals, be by electronic communication including fax or email and shall be deemed to be
an original authentic counterpart thereof for all purposes);

     (b) promptly after the same are available, copies of each annual report, proxy or financial
statement or other report or communication sent to the stockholders of the Borrower, and copies of
all annual, regular, periodic and special reports and registration statements which the Borrower
may file or be required to file with the SEC under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and not
otherwise required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto;

62

 

     (c) promptly after the furnishing thereof, copies of any statement or report furnished to any
holder of debt securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, loan or credit or similar agreement and not otherwise required to be furnished to the
Lenders pursuant to Section 6.01 or any other clause of this Section 6.02;

     (d) promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days after receipt thereof by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary thereof, copies of each written notice or other correspondence received from the
SEC (or comparable agency in any applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction) concerning any investigation or
possible investigation or other inquiry by such agency regarding financial or other operational
results of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; and

     (e) promptly, such additional information regarding the business, financial or corporate
affairs of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, as
the Administrative Agent or any Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

     Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) or
Section 6.02(b) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed
with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been
delivered on the date (i) on which the Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on
the Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02; or
(ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet
website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a
commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided
that: (i) the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon its request to the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to
cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and (ii) the
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail)
of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail
electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. The Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents referred
to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with
any such request by a Lender for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for

Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrower
under Title IV of ERISA to the Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC in an aggregate amount
in excess of the Threshold Amount, or (ii) the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when
due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to
its withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate

     (j) Invalidity of Loan Documents. Any material provision of any Loan Document, at any
time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted
hereunder or thereunder or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations, ceases to be in full force
and effect; or the Borrower or any other Person contests in any manner the validity or
enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or the Borrower denies that it has any or
further liability or obligation under any Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or

     (k) Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control.

     8.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders,
take any or all of the following actions:

     (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer
to make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be
terminated;

     (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document
to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

74

 

     (c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to
the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

     (d) exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer all rights and remedies
available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents;

provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with
respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each
Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions shall
automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and
other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the
Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become
effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section
8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C
Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso
to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the
following order:

Agent in its capacity as such;

     Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders

Lender or the L/C Issuer) and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to
them;

     Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably
among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Third payable to them;

     Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of
the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

     Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters
of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Sections
2.03 and 2.15; and

75

 

     Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Sections 2.03(c) and 2.15, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the
aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall
be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains
on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired,

ARTICLE IX. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions.

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

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

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

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

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

76

 

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

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

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

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

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

77

 

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.

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

     (b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall
also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the
successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if
any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.

78

 

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

     9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Bookrunners, Arrangers or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its
capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

     9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

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

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

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of

79

 

any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

     10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless

otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender;

and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in

BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE

Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided that in no event shall any
Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for
indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual

     (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer
and the Swing Line Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from
time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address,

each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to
at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content
declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in
accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United
States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made
available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the

82

 

Platform and that may contain
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of
United States Federal or state securities laws.

     (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders. The Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of
the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete
or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms
thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of
them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on
each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other
telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative
Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

     10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Borrower shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with
such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in
accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuer;
provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising
on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its
capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08
(subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or
appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative
to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any
time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth
in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to
Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights
and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

     (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of
the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the
Administrative Agent, one counsel acting on the collective behalf of all other Indemnitees,
necessary local counsel and additional counsel in the case of any conflict of interest), and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for
attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its
Related Parties only, the administration
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed
in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party

84

 

or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by the
Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor
on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (z) arise solely out of claims
among Indemnitees.

     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related
Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of
Section 2.12(d).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from
the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such
unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

     (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations.

85

 

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

     10.06 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of
this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
restrictions of clause (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer
by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d)
of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of
the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b),
participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

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

86

 

     (B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the 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 or, if “Trade Date” is
specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less
than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that
concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments
from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible
Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment
for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

     (ii) Proportionate Amounts. 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 the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this
clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in
respect of Swing Line Loans;

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

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

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

     (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the
obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters
of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

     (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

     (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and

87

 

recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting
Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C)
to a natural person.

     (vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective
unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties
to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an
aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright
payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not
funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and
interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share
of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with
its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment
of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this clause, then the assignee of
such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement
until such compliance occurs.

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

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a

88

 

register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the
Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a
Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) such Lender shall maintain a register with respect to
such Participant in a manner consistent with that required under Section 10.06(c).

     Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (e) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

     (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for
the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) and (g) as though it were a
Lender.

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal

89

 

Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.

     (g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to clause (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to
the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint
any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of
Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C
Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section
2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of
the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the
Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line
Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or
Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be,
and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory
to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such
Letters of Credit.

     10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall have agreed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any
Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the

90

 

extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of
their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and
that is not in breach of a confidentiality obligation to the Borrower. For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that,
in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have
complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to
maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own
confidential information.

     Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as
the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

     10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at
any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the
L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or
the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or
office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such
Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such
Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the
L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

91

 

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

     10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging
means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made
hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or
in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.
Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than any contingent indemnification
or similar obligation not yet due and payable) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any
Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

     10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement

92

 

relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in
good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable,
then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

     10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04
or is unable to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans pursuant to Section 3.02, or if the
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, or if a Lender refuses to give its consent to any amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of such Lender to be effective
pursuant to Section 10.01 and the Borrower and the Required Lenders have given their
consent to such amendment or waiver, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

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

     (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

     (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

     (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

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

     10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING

93

     10.16 California Judicial Reference. If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the
State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the court shall, and is hereby
directed to, make a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to
a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues

94

 

in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision;
provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to
a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be
heard and determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Section
10.04, the Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee
appointed in such action or proceeding.

     10.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and each Arranger are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent and each such Arranger, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its
own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C)
the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions
of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the
Administrative Agent and each Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and,
except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not
be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other
Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor either Arranger has any obligation to the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those
obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the
Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its
Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor either Arranger has any obligation to disclose
any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative
Agent and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in
connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

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

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

95

 

Agent, as applicable, to
identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing
obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including the Act.

     10.20 Amendments Effecting a Maturity Extension. In addition, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

     (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall forward such
notice to all applicable Lenders) make an offer (each such offer, a “Loan Modification
Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the
maturity of the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be
extended, and, in connection with such extension, to (i) reduce, eliminate or otherwise modify the
scheduled amortization, if any, of the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) modify the
Applicable Percentage and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments
of the Accepting Lenders and the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting
Lenders, and/or (iii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as
applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent
not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 10.01) to be effective only
during the period following the original maturity date prior to its extension by such Accepting
Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably
acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i)
the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such
Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than five Business
Days nor more than 45 Business Days after the date of such notice). Permitted Amendments shall
become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the
Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any
Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such
Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent a loan modification agreement (“Loan Modification
Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify
to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of the Loan
Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of
the Loan Modification Agreement,
this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to
reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect
to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been
made.

     (b) This Section shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, including
Section 2.13 or 10.01, it being understood, however, that nothing in this Section
shall impair or limit the effectiveness of any amendment effectuated in accordance with Section
10.01 (including, without limitation, any amendment effectuated simultaneously with any
Permitted Amendment).
