merged with or into Holdco or any Holdco Subsidiary since the beginning of such reference period

     (c) For purposes of the calculations referred to herein, whenever pro forma effect is to be
given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations (including any cost savings associated
therewith) shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Holdco
or the Borrower. In addition, any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate,
in the reasonable determination of the Borrower, to reflect any operating expense reductions and
other operating improvements or synergies projected in good faith to result from any acquisition,
amalgamation, merger or operational change (including, to the extent applicable, from the
Transactions); provided that (x) such operating expense reductions and other operating improvements
or synergies are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (y) with respect to operational
changes (not resulting from an acquisition), such actions are taken or committed to be taken no
later than 15 months after the Effective Date and (z) the aggregate amount of projected operating
expense reductions, operating improvements and synergies in respect of operational changes (not
resulting from an acquisition) included in any pro forma calculation shall not exceed $20,000,000
for any four consecutive fiscal quarter period unless otherwise approved by the Administrative
Agent.

     (d) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect,
the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation
Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Rate Management
Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). For purposes of making the computation referred to
above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis
shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the reference
period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon
a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be
deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional
rate as the Borrower may designate.

     (e) Any Person that is a Holdco Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been
a Holdco Subsidiary at all times during the reference period, and any Person that is not a Holdco
Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Holdco Subsidiary at any time
during the reference period.

     (b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term
Loan Maturity Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to
but excluding the date of payment.

     (i) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be subject to Section 3.04,

Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed in the aggregate the amount of its
Revolving Credit Commitment and the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not
exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, at any time prior to
the Maturity Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments to extend credit hereunder shall expire on the
Maturity Date.

     Section 2.04. Other Required Payments. All outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans,

the Incremental Amendment.

     Section 2.05. Ratable Loans. Each Revolving Credit Advance hereunder shall consist of
Revolving Loans made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares.

     Section 2.06. Types of Advances. The Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar
Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.11 and
2.12, or Swing Line Loans selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.07.

     Section 2.07. Swing Line Loans.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make
Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time from and including the Effective Date and prior
to the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any

40

 

time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Swing Line Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line
Lender’s outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding its Swing Line Commitment, or (iii) the sum of the
Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitment; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to
refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. The
Borrower will repay in full each Swing Line Loan on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after
the Borrowing Date for such Swing Line Loan.

     (b) To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone or electronic mail (to such electronic mail addresses as the Administrative
Agent shall specify) (in each case confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the day of a proposed Swing Line Loan. Each such notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”)
shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and
amount of the requested Swing Line Loan, which shall be an amount not less than $1,000,000. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swing Line Lender of any such notice received from
the Borrower. The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower by
means of a credit to a general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swing Line Lender or wire
transfer to an account designated by the Borrower (or, in the case of a Swing Line Loan made to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.22(e), by remittance to
the LC Issuer) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan.

     (c) The Swing Line Lender may (and shall on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Borrowing
Date of each Swing Line Loan made by it that is then still outstanding) by written notice given to
the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require
the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of its
Swing Line Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans
in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
such Swing Line Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation
to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this paragraph is unconditional,
continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including,
without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (ii)
the occurrence or continuance, prior to or after the funding of any Swing Line Loan, of a Default
or Unmatured Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower or (iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such
Lender (and Section 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of

41

 

the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the
amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of
any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts
received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in
respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of
participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts
received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line
Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid
to the Swing Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such
payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations
in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in
the payment thereof.

     Section 2.08. Commitment Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

     (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Lender a commitment fee (other than any Revolving Lender that is an Affected Lender of the type
described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.23(b)), which shall accrue at the rate of, (x) with
respect of any date during a Step-down Period for Revolving Loans, 0.50% and (y) if otherwise,
0.625%, in each case, calculated per annum on the daily amount of the difference between the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender and the Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding
Swing Line Exposure) of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but
excluding the date on which such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees
shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and
on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date
to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).

     (b) The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment in whole, or
in part ratably among the Revolving Lenders in minimum amounts of $10,000,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the
Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided,
however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment may not be reduced below the
Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure and further provided that a notice of a reduction
of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice
is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All accrued commitment fees shall be payable
on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit
Extensions hereunder.

     Section 2.09. Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Eurodollar Advance (other than an Advance
to repay Swing Line Loans or with respect to any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving
Credit Facilities, to the extent otherwise provided in

42

 

the related Incremental Amendment) shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in
multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing
Line Loan or with respect to any Incremental Term Loan or Additional Revolving Facility, to the
extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Amendment) shall be in the minimum amount of
$5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any
Revolving Credit Advance which is a Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

     Section 2.10. Optional and Mandatory Principal Payments.

     (a) The Borrower may from time to time pay, without premium or penalty except as provided in
clause (b) below, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a
minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon one
Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, without
penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and
increments of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with
notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the date of repayment. The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any
funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.04 and subject to clause (b) below, all
outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon
three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. All voluntary principal payments in
respect of the Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof in such order as
the Borrower may elect, or if not so specified on or prior to the date of such optional prepayment,
in the direct order of maturity. All mandatory principal payments in respect of the Term Loan
shall be applied to the principal installments thereof under Section 2.02 in the direct order of
maturity.

     (b) In the event that, on or prior to the date that is twelve months after the Effective Date,
the Borrower (x) prepays, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term Loans in connection with a
Repricing Transaction (including, for avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to Section
2.10(c) that constitutes a Repricing Transaction), or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement
resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment
premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced,
substituted or replaced and (II) in the case of clause (y), a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.
Such amounts shall be due and payable on the date of effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.

     (c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of
Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within
five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Term Loan until paid in full
and/or Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e) below; provided that in the case
of any such event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,” if
Holdco or any Subsidiary applies

43

 

(or commits to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 12 months
after receipt of such Net Proceeds to pay all or a portion of the purchase price in connection with
an Acquisition permitted hereunder of a Similar Business or to acquire, restore, replace, rebuild,
develop, maintain or upgrade real property, equipment or other capital assets useful or to be used
in the business of Holdco and the Subsidiaries (and, in each case, the Borrower has delivered to
the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a
certificate of its Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Default
has occurred and is continuing), then, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing at the
time of the giving of such notice and at the time of the proposed reinvestment, no prepayment shall
be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or
the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent
of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be so applied) by
the end of such 12 month period, (or if committed to be so applied within such 12 month period,
have not been so applied within 180 days after such 12 month period has expired). The Borrower
shall provide to the Administrative Agent any such evidence reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent with respect to any commitment of Holdco or any Subsidiary to apply Net
Proceeds in accordance with this Section 2.10(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any
Business Day there exist “Net Proceeds” (as defined in the Indenture) which (assuming no investment
or application thereof is made within the following five Business Days) would constitute “Excess
Proceeds” (as defined in the Indenture) in an amount in excess of $10,000,000 on such fifth
following Business Day, then prior to such fifth following Business Day the Borrower shall prepay
the Term Loan until paid in full in an aggregate amount equal to such “Excess Proceeds” amount in
excess of $10,000,000. Upon making such prepayment, the Borrower shall be relieved of any further
obligation under this Section 2.10(c) to make any prepayment with respect to such Net Proceeds.

     (d) Following the end of each fiscal year of Holdco, commencing with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2012, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Loans in an
aggregate amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year. Each
prepayment pursuant to this clause shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days
after the date on which annual financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash Flow is being calculated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this clause with
respect to any fiscal year shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of (i) voluntary
prepayments of Revolving Loans which were accompanied by corresponding permanent reductions in the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) all optional prepayments of the Term Loans, and (iii)
mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, in each case only to the extent that such prepayments,
expenditures or investments (A) were made by Holdco or its Subsidiaries after the start of the
applicable fiscal year and prior to the due date for (or, if earlier, the actual payment date of)
the prepayment under this clause with respect to such fiscal year and (B) have not resulted in a
reduction of Excess Cash Flow or prepayments pursuant to this clause with respect to any prior
fiscal year.

     (e) In the event of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or (d), the prepayment amount
shall be applied, first to repay outstanding Term Loans (and principal installments thereof on a
pro rata basis) and second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans, without any corresponding
reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment.

44

 

     Section 2.11. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The Borrower
shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period
applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date
of each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) and three Business Days before the
Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance. Each such notice shall specify:

     (a) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

     (b) the aggregate amount of such Advance,

     (c) the Type of Advance selected, and

     (d) in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make
available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in funds immediately available in Chicago to the
Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article 13. The Administrative Agent
will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in an account designated
in writing by the Borrower. Borrower shall not have more than 8 Eurodollar Loans outstanding at
one time.

     Section 2.12. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances
(other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such
Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.12 or are
repaid in accordance with Section 2.10. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar
Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such
Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such
Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.10 or (y) the Borrower shall have
given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that,
at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for
the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.09, the Borrower may elect
from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing Line
Loans) into a Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable
notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a
Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City
time, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation,
specifying:

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

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

     (c) the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar
Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

45

 

     Section 2.13. Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than Swing
Line Loans) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and
including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance
into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.12, to but excluding the date it is paid or is
converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to
the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such
Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid hereof, at a rate per annum equal to
the Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that
portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with
each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate
determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the
Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 and otherwise in accordance with the terms
hereof, plus the Applicable Margin. No Interest Period may end after the Maturity Date.

     Section 2.14. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13, during the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders
may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the
Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.02 requiring unanimous consent of the
Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or
continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of a Default under Section 7.02, unless
waived by the Required Lenders or until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, (a)
each overdue Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest
Period at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (b)
each overdue Floating Rate Advance and all overdue fees and other overdue amounts payable hereunder
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus
the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum, in each case without any election or action on the part of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

     Section 2.15. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made,
without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative
Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article 13, or at any other
Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except with respect to
repayments of Swing Line Loans and except in the case of reimbursement obligations with respect to
LC Disbursements for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or as
otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the
applicable Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any
Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of
funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article 13 or at
any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such
Lender. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.15 shall also be deemed to
refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by
the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.22(e).

46

 

     Section 2.16. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including
the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain the Register as set forth in Section
12.01(c).

     (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded
absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

     (d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially
the form of a Revolving Credit Note, a Term Note or a Swing Line Note, in each case as applicable.
In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to
the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall
at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.01) be represented by one or more
Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender
subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be
evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

     Section 2.17. Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of
Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower,
it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing
Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to
deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is
requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an
Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action
taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

     Section 2.18. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each
Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the date hereof, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due
to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall
be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar
Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on
each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on
the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Eurodollar
Advances, commitment fees and LC Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a
360-day year. Interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on
the basis of a 365/366-day year. Interest shall be

47

 

payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid
if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, at the place of payment. If any
payment of principal of or interest on an Advance or other amount hereunder shall become due on a
day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing
interest in connection with such payment.

     Section 2.19. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Revolving Credit
Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each
Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing
Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received
by it hereunder. Promptly after notice from the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify
each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder. The
Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar
Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice
of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

     Section 2.20. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in
any LC Exposure and the LC Issuer may book the Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation
selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending
Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending
Installation and the Loans, Letters of Credit, participations in LC Exposure and any Notes issued
hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit
of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article 13, designate replacement or
additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Letters of Credit will
be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Letters of Credit
are to be made.

     Section 2.21. Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a
Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is
scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds
of a Loan or (b) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may,
but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient
in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in
fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand
by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available
together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such
amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent
recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the
Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest
rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

     Section 2.22. Letters of Credit.

     (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request
the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the
applicable LC Issuer, at any time and from time to time from and including the Effective Date and
prior to the Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Application or other agreement
submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the LC Issuer relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

     (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the
issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of
Credit), the Borrower shall mail, hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the LC Issuer) to the LC Issuer
and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the
Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of
Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such
Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as
shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the
LC Issuer, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the LC Issuer’s
standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) the LC Exposure shall not exceed
$100,000,000 and (y) the Aggregate Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment.

     (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business
on the earlier of (x) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and
(y) seven days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect; provided that any Letter of Credit with a
one year period may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one year periods but in no event
shall the date of such Letters of Credit extend beyond the period in clause (y) hereof.

     (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the LC Issuer
or the Lenders, the LC Issuer hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from
the LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of the LC Issuer, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC
Disbursement made by the LC Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the
Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of

49

 

Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

     (e) Reimbursement. If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of
Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an
amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business
Day next following the date notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower (any such notice
received after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received by the Borrower on the next
Business Day); provided that, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth
herein, request in accordance with Section 2.07 or 2.11 that such payment be financed with a
Revolving Credit Advance which is a Floating Rate Advance or Swing Line Loan in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be
discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Advance or Swing Line Loan. If the
Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof
and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender
shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Borrower,
in the same manner as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Sections 2.11 and 2.21 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders),
and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from
the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
LC Issuer or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse
the LC Issuer, then to such Lenders and the LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment
made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of a Revolving Credit Advance or a Swing Line Loan as contemplated above)
shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such
LC Disbursement.

     (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the LC Issuer under a
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the LC Issuer, nor any of their
Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the
issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment
thereunder (irrespective of any of the

50

 

circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption,
loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder),
any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the
control of the LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the LC
Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the LC Issuer’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, in each case on the part of the LC Issuer, the
LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the
foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to
documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a
Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon
such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such
documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. The LC Issuer
shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Revolving Lender is at such
time an Affected Lender of the type described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.23(b)
hereunder, unless the LC Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or
such Lender to eliminate the LC Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.

     (g) Disbursement Procedures. The LC Issuer shall, promptly following its receipt thereof,
examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The
LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed
by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the LC Issuer has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the LC Issuer and the Lenders with respect to
any such LC Disbursement.

     (h) Interim Interest. If the LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the
unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC
Disbursement is made (or, if notice of such LC Disbursement is given later than 1:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the date of such LC Disbursement, then from and including the next Business Day)
to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate
plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement
within five Business Days of the date when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the
unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date when due to and
including the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Floating Rate plus the
Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the
account of the LC Issuer with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to
reimburse such LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

51

 

     (i) Replacement of the LC Issuer. An LC Issuer may be replaced at any time by written
agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor LC Issuer. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an LC Issuer. At the time
any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to paragraph (k) of this Section. From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor LC Issuer shall have all the rights and
obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “LC Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous LC Issuer, or to such successor and all previous LC Issuers, as the
context shall require. After the replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer
shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC
Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

     (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day
that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50%
of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph
(which notice shall be delivered no earlier than the earlier of the fifth Business Day of such
Default continuing and the date of any acceleration of the Obligations with respect to such
Default), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of
the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to
the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the
obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit
shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the
occurrence of any Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.06 or 7.07. Such
deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of
the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.
Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made
at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and
expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments
shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative
Agent to reimburse the LC Issuer for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to
the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total
LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the
Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the
occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to
the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived.

     (k) Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender (other than any Revolving Lender that is an Affected Lender of the type described
in clauses (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.23(b)) a participation fee (the “LC Fee”) with respect to its
participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable
Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving

52

 

Loans that are Eurodollar Loans on the face amount of such Letters of Credit during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to
each LC Issuer a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed upon (but
no more than 0.125% per annum) between the Borrower and such LC Issuer on the average daily amount
of the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s
standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business
Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;
provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments
terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the LC Issuers pursuant to this
paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand. All LC Fees and fronting fees shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

     (l) Outstanding Letters of Credit. The letters of credit set forth on Schedule 2.22 hereto
(the “Outstanding Letters of Credit”) were issued or deemed issued pursuant to the Existing Credit
Agreement and remain outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. The Borrower, the LC Issuer and
each of the Revolving Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Outstanding Letters of Credit that
effective upon the Effective Date (A) such Outstanding Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be
Letters of Credit issued under and governed in all respects by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and (B) each Lender shall participate in each Outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Outstanding Letter of Credit.

     Section 2.23. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.

     (a) If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any
Governmental Entity for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.05, then such Lender shall
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

     (b) If (i) the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02 or 3.05 to make any
additional payment to any Lender,(ii) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert
Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.03, (iii)
any Lender shall default in its obligation to fund

53

 

Loans hereunder, (iv) any Lender shall become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding or (v) any Lender shall fail to consent to a departure or waiver of any provision of the
Loan Documents or fail to agree to any amendment thereto, which waiver, consent or amendment
requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby and has been
consented to by the Required Lenders (any Lender described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)
being an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may (x) elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender
party to this Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have such right only if (i) concurrently
with such replacement, (A) another bank or other entity (other than a Disqualified Institution at
the time of assignment) which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the
Affected Lender pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D and to become a
Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender
to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.01 applicable to
assignments, and (B) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of
such replacement (x) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected
Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without
limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05, and (y) an
amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such
replacement under Section 3.04 had the Loans or other Obligations of such Affected Lender been
prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i) or
(ii) above, such additional payments continue to be required or such suspension is still effective
and will be reduced or negated by such assignment and (iii) in the case of (iv) above, the
applicable Eligible Assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of
the Loan Documents or (y) terminate all Commitments of such Affected Lender and repay all
Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender as of such termination date (including any amounts
owing pursuant to Section 3.04 as a result of such repayment).

     Section 2.24. Pro Rata Treatment; Intercreditor Agreements.

     (a) Except as provided below in this Section 2.24 and as required under Section 2.07, 3.01,
3.02, 3.04, 3.05 or 11.02, each Advance, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advance,
each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee set forth in Section 2.08
and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment and each conversion of any
Advance to or continuation of any Advance as an Advance of any Type shall be allocated pro rata
among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such
Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal
amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans).

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other
distribution (whether from proceeds of Collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash,
securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of
remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender) made or applied in
respect of any of the Obligations (i) following any acceleration of the Obligations, (ii) during
the existence of a Default under Section 7.02 or (iii) during or in connection with Insolvency
Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in
connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of
priority

54

 

(with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other
distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations): (A) first, to payment of that portion of
the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney
fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the LC Issuer in its capacity as
such and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent, the
LC Issuer and the Collateral Agent in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
first payable to them); (B) second, to payment of (i) that portion of the Obligations constituting
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Loans (ratably
among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (B) payable to
them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings
in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is
or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings, and
reimbursement obligations, interest and fees in respect of Letters of Credit, (ii) Secured Hedge
Obligations and Secured Cash Management Obligations and (iii) an amount to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each applicable LC Issuer equal to one hundred one percent (101%) of the
aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any
unpaid LC Disbursements to be held as cash collateral; and (C) third, to payment of any other
Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, ratably; and (D) last, in the case of
proceeds of Collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Obligations (including,
without limitation, all Obligations in respect of LC Exposure but excluding any contingent
obligations) have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.24 (including,
without limitation, the priority of the Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an
intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received
from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender,
including, without limitation, in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party
(including without limitation with respect to interests and costs regardless of whether or not such
interest or costs are allowed as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceedings or enforceable or
recoverable against the Loan Party or its bankruptcy estate), to the same extent that such
agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including, without limitation,
pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of
applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect
of any Obligation (including, without limitation, in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or
any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not
entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.24, such amount shall be
held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or
distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative
Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in
accordance with this Section 2.24.

     (c) In the event there is any Disgorged Recovery in respect of any Lender’s Revolving Loans,
Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC Exposure in any Insolvency Proceedings of any Loan Party, such
Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans and LC Exposure shall be deemed to be outstanding as
if such Disgorged Recovery had never been received by such Lender, and each Lender agrees that the
intercreditor agreements and priorities set forth in this Section 2.24 shall be enforced in
accordance with their terms in respect of such Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Swing Line Loans or LC
Exposure, including, without limitation, for purposes of the allocation of payments

55

 

and distributions made or applied in respect of the Obligations (whether from proceeds of
Collateral or otherwise), as well as for purposes of determining whether such other Lender must
turn over all or any portion of any payment or other distribution received by such other Lender
(whether before or after occurrence of such Disgorged Recovery) to the Administrative Agent for
redistribution in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.24(b).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured Hedge
Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has
not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the
Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the
case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank not a party to the Credit Agreement that has
given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have
acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of
Article 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

     Section 2.25. Incremental Credit Facilities. (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time
to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the
Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to each of the Lenders), request (a) one or more
additional tranches or additions to an existing tranche of term loans (the “Incremental Term
Loans”) or (b) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments on the same
terms as the Revolving Loans or the establishment of one or more revolving credit commitments (each
such increase or new commitments, an “Additional Revolving Facility”), provided that (i) both at
the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to
below, no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist and at the time that any such Incremental Term
Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto) no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist, (ii)
the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.22 determined on a
pro forma basis as of the last day of the date of the most-recently ended fiscal quarter, in each
case, as if such Incremental Term Loans or any borrowings under any such Additional Revolving
Facility, as applicable, had been outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter of the
Borrower for testing compliance therewith; provided that any Additional Revolving Facility shall be
tested as fully drawn, (iii) the First Lien Leverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis shall
not exceed (A) 2.5 to 1.0 if the proceeds from the Incremental Facilities are used to prepay,
repay or redeem the Second Lien Notes, including any premiums payable in connection therewith, or
(B) 2.0 to 1.0 if the proceeds from the Incremental Facilities are used for any other permissible
purpose, in each case as of the last day of the most-recently ended period of four consecutive
fiscal quarters of the Borrower for which financial statements are internally available (calculated
as if such Incremental Term Loans or borrowings under any such Additional Revolving Facilities (in
an amount equal to the full amount of such Additional Revolving Facilities), as applicable, had
been outstanding on such last day; provided that any Additional Revolving Facility shall be tested
as fully drawn), (iv) at any time in which the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, (x) after
giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans or borrowings under any such Additional Revolving
Facilities, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans and the aggregate amount of Revolving
Commitments (used and unused) at such time would not exceed the amount set forth in clause (a) of
the definition of Maximum First Priority Obligations Amount as set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement and (y) the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans or borrowings under any such
Additional Revolving

56

 

Facilities shall be used solely to prepay or redeem Second Lien Indebtedness to the extent
such proceeds are required to be so used in order for the condition set forth in the preceding
clause (x) to be satisfied, and (v) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial
Officer to the effect set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, together with
reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating compliance with clauses (ii) and (iii) above (which
calculations shall, if made as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which the
Borrower has not delivered to the Administrative Agent the financial statements and compliance
certificate required to be delivered by Section 6.01(d), be accompanied by a reasonably detailed
calculation of Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for the relevant period). Each
tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than
$10,000,000 and each Additional Revolving Facility shall be in an aggregate principal amount that
is not less than $5,000,000, and in all cases shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that
such amount may be less than $10,000,000 or $5,000,000, as applicable, if such amount represents
all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the
Additional Revolving Facilities shall not exceed $500,000,000; provided that the aggregate amount
of Additional Revolving Facilities shall not exceed $50,000,000. In no event shall the Incremental
Facilities be used for any purpose other than (i) for the purposes set forth in Section 6.02 or
(ii) to prepay, repay or redeem Second Lien Indebtedness (including any premiums payable in
connection therewith); provided that (i) no more than $250,000,000 of the Incremental Facilities
shall be used for purposes other than prepaying, repaying or redeeming Second Lien Indebtedness and
(ii) any Additional Revolving Facility shall be used only for the purposes set forth in Section
6.02. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time after the Second Lien
Indebtedness has been paid in full and the Intercreditor Agreement is no longer in effect (unless a
replacement intercreditor agreement satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Borrower, the
collateral agent (or Person performing a similar function) for the holders of the Pari Passu First
Lien Notes (as defined below), and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee and Collateral
Agent for the holders of the Second Lien Indebtedness, is entered into contemporaneously with the
issuance of such Pari Passu First Lien Notes), in lieu of requesting Incremental Term Loans or an
Additional Revolving Facility, the Borrower may issue first lien notes on a pari passu basis (the
“Pari Passu First Lien Notes”), subject to an intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, which Pari Passu First Lien Notes shall be treated the same as
Incremental Term Loans for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that in no event will the
aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans, Additional Revolving Facilities and such Pari Passu
First Lien Notes exceed $500,000,000.

     (b) The following terms shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans and any Additional Revolving
Facilities established pursuant to an Incremental Amendment: (i) such Incremental Term Loans and
the borrowings under such Additional Revolving Facilities shall rank pari passu in right of payment
and of security with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (ii) the maturity date of such
Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date of the existing Term Loans,
(iii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Term Loans is not less than the
remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the exiting Term Loans, (iv) the applicable yield
relating to any term loans or revolving loans incurred pursuant to such Incremental Amendment (each
facility thereunder, the “Incremental Facility”), as applicable, shall not be greater than that
with respect to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving

57

 

Credit Commitments, as applicable, plus 0.50% per annum (or, in the case of any Incremental
Facility consisting of fixed rate notes, 1.00% per annum) unless the yield applicable to the
existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, is increased so that
the yield applicable to the applicable Incremental Facility does not exceed the yield applicable to
the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, by more than 0.50% per annum (or,
in the case of any Incremental Facility consisting of fixed rate notes, 1.00% per annum); provided
that in determining the yield applicable to the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit
Commitments, as applicable, and the applicable Incremental Facility, (A) original issue discount
(“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the
Borrower to the Lenders of the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as
applicable, or the applicable Incremental Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be
included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity or, if
less, the remaining life to maturity of the applicable Incremental Facility), (B) customary
arrangement or commitment fees payable to the joint bookrunners (or their affiliates) in connection
with the existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, or to one or
more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the applicable Incremental Facility shall be excluded, (C)
if the Eurodollar Base Rate in respect of such Incremental Facility includes a floor greater than
the 1.00% applicable to the analogous existing credit facility, such increased amount shall be
equated to interest margin for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable yield under
the analogous existing credit facility and (D) in the case of any Incremental Facility consisting
of fixed rate notes, the comparable rate shall be determined by inclusion of the applicable US
Treasury to LIBOR swap rate applied in customary fashion and (v) the revolving loans incurred
pursuant to such Additional Revolving Facility will mature no earlier than, and will require no
scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Maturity Date of the
existing Revolving Credit Commitments and all other terms of any such Incremental Facility (except
as set forth in the foregoing clauses) shall be substantially identical to the existing Revolving
Credit Commitments or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

     (c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.25(b) shall set forth (i) the
requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving
Facilities and (ii) the date on which such the relevant increase is requested to become effective
(which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such
notice). Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Additional Revolving Facilities may be provided by
any existing Lender (but each existing Lender will not have an obligation to make a portion of any
Incremental Term Loan or any portion of any Additional Revolving Facility) or by any other bank or
other financial institution that are Eligible Assignees (any such other bank or other financial
institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent, and to
the extent of an Additional Revolving Facility, the LC Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, as
applicable, shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or
Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Additional Revolving
Facilities (collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”) to the extent any such consent would be
required under Section 12.01 for an assignment of Loans or Revolving
Credit Commitments, as
applicable, to such Incremental Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and
Additional Revolving Facilities shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an
amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by the Borrower,

58

 

each Incremental Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment shall be on
the terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental
Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Terms Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities, as
applicable; provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with this
Agreement (except to the extent permitted by the foregoing clauses), they shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be
subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01
and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative
Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements
consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 4.02(other than changes to such
legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of
opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). No Lender shall be obligated to
provide any Incremental Term Loans or Additional Revolving Facilities, unless it so agrees.

     (d) Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments (which for purposes of this Section
2.25(d) shall be deemed to include any new revolving commitments provided under an Incremental
Amendment) pursuant to this Section 2.25, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such
increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental
Lender providing a portion of the Additional Revolving Facility (each, an “Additional Revolving
Facility Lender”), and each such Additional Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and
without further act be deemed to have assumed (in the case of an increase to the Revolving Loans
only), a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of
Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and
assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations
hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each
Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Additional Revolving Facility Lender) will equal the
percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Additional Revolving Facility
Lenders represented by such Additional Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and
(ii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans under the applicable facility
outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Additional
Revolving Credit Facility be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder
(reflecting such increase in Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied
by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in
accordance with Section 3.04. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the
minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence.

     (e) The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to effect such amendments to
this Agreement as are required to effectuate the terms of any Incremental Amendment to the extent
such terms are permitted under this Section 2.25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek
the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this
Section 2.25 and, if either the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent seeks such advice or
concurrence, it shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance
with

59

 

any instructions actually received by such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to
refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have
received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a
request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all
such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent
hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.

     (f) This Section 2.25 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.24(a), 11.01 or 8.02 to the
contrary.

ARTICLE 3

Yield Protection; Taxes

     Section 3.01. Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of any
assignee, after the date it became a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any law (including
any CPA Change) or any governmental or quasi governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or
directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

     (a) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances),
or

     (b) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or
any applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its
Eurodollar Loans, or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount
receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation in connection with its Eurodollar
Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable
Lending Installation or any LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of
Eurodollar Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received
by it, in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such LC Issuer as the case may
be,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending
Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans
or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received
by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, in
connection with such Eurodollar Loans, Commitment, Letters of Credit or participations therein,
then, within 30 days of written demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the
Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased
cost or

60

 

reduction in amount received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.01 shall not apply to
any tax-related matters.

     Section 3.02. Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or an LC Issuer
determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, any Lending
Installation of such Lender or such LC Issuer, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such
LC Issuer is increased as a result of a Change, then, within 30 days of written demand by such
Lender or such LC Issuer, the Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount necessary
to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital
which such Lender or such LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding
Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as
the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies as
to capital adequacy). “Change” means (a) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk
Based Capital Guidelines, or (b) any adoption of or change in any other law (including any CPA
Change), governmental or quasi governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any LC Issuer or any
Lending Installation or any corporation controlling any Lender or any LC Issuer. “Risk Based
Capital Guidelines” means (a) the risk based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on
the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (b) the corresponding capital
regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July
1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled
“International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition
rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.

     Section 3.03. Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender determines that maintenance
of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule,
regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders
determine that (a) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances
are not available or (b) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately
reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall
suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be
repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding
indemnification amounts required by Section 3.04.

     Section 3.04. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a
date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration,
prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower
for any reason other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any
loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in
liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.

     Section 3.05. Taxes.

     (a) All payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender, any LC Issuer or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit

61

 

Application shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If
the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder to any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.05) such Lender,
such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary
taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment
made hereunder or under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

     (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer and each
Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.05) paid by the Administrative Agent,
such LC Issuer or such Lender as a result of its Commitment, any Loans made by it hereunder, or
otherwise in connection with its participation in this Agreement and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payments due under
this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the Administrative Agent, such LC
Issuer or such Lender makes written demand therefor pursuant to Section 3.06. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer or by
the Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) Each Lender and LC Issuer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it
will, on or before the date that it becomes party to this Agreement, (i) deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is
not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and is not a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 and certify
that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S.
Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x)
renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such
form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent

62

 

forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or
amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States
federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required
that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender
advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments
without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. For the avoidance of
doubt, the failure to provide certification evidencing a complete exemption from U.S. withholding
taxes as required in this Section 3.05(d) shall not prevent a Person from becoming a Non-U.S.
Lender under this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 12.03 in the case of a transfer),
but shall affect such Person’s entitlement to indemnification or gross-up under this Section 3.05
as provided herein.

     (e) Each Lender and LC Issuer that is incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America, a state thereof or the District of Columbia (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees that it will, on
or before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9,
certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each
U.S. Lender further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x)
renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date that such
form expires or becomes obsolete or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, and (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most
recent forms so delivered by it, such additional forms or amendments thereto. All forms or
amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such U.S. Lender is entitled to
receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required
which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such U.S. Lender from duly
completing and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such U.S. Lender
advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments
without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

     (f) For any period during which a Lender or LC Issuer has failed to provide the Borrower with
an appropriate form pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05 (unless such failure is due
to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally
was required to be provided), such Lender or LC Issuer shall not be entitled to indemnification or
gross-up under this Section 3.05 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that,
should a Lender or LC Issuer that is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of
withholding tax become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required under
clause (d) or (e) of this Section 3.05, the Borrower shall take such steps at such Lender’s or LC
Issuer’s expense as such Lender or LC Issuer shall reasonably request to assist such Lender or LC
Issuer to recover such Taxes.

63

 

     (g) Any Lender or LC Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of any relevant
jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate.

     (h) If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Entity of the United States
or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts a claim that the Administrative
Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because
the appropriate form was not delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify
the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered its exemption from withholding
ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully
for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding
therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, together with
all costs and expenses related thereto (including attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for
the Administrative Agent, which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The
obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.05(g) shall survive the payment of the Obligations
and termination of this Agreement.

     (i) In the case of an Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer that would be subject to
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA on payments made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
if such Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer fails to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as
applicable), such Lender, Administrative Agent or LC Issuer, as applicable, shall provide such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of
the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative
Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under
FATCA, to determine that such Administrative Agent, Lender or LC Issuer has complied with such
Administrative Agent’s, Lender’s or LC Issuer’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from any such payments.

     (j) If a Lender or LC 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 3.05 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 3.05 with respect to the Taxes or Other
Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or LC Issuer and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Entity with respect to
such refund); provided that (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or LC Issuer, agrees
to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Entity) to the Lender or LC Issuer in the event the Lender or
LC Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Entity and (ii) nothing herein
contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or LC Issuer to arrange its tax affairs in
whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or LC Issuer to claim any tax refund or to make
available its tax returns or disclose any

64

 

information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any
Lender or LC Issuer to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other
refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

     Section 3.06. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible,
each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation to reduce any liability of the
Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.05 or to avoid the unavailability of
Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.03, so long as such designation is not, in the commercially
reasonable judgment of such Lender, materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall
deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05. Such written
statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined
such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest
error. Determination of amounts payable under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 in connection with
a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the
purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in
determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.
Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall
be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The Borrower shall
not be required to indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 for any
amounts paid or losses incurred by such Lender as to which such Lender has not made demand
hereunder within 120 days after the date such Lender has actual knowledge of such amounts or losses
and their applicability to the lending transactions contemplated hereby. The obligations of the
Borrower under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 or 3.05 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

duly authorized by proper corporate or other organizational proceedings, and the Loan Documents to
which each such Loan Party is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan

may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally or by general equitable principles.

or any of its Subsidiaries or any Property of such Person or (b) Holdco’s or any Material Domestic

Indebtedness (“Refinancing Restricted Indebtedness”) of the Borrower, as the case may be, that is
incurred in compliance with Section 6.14 so long as:

     (i) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such Refinancing
Restricted Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid
interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness or Second Lien Indebtedness, as applicable,
being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value (in any case, the
“Refinanced Restricted Indebtedness”), plus the amount of any premium required to be paid
under the terms of the instrument governing the Refinanced Restricted Indebtedness and any
fees and expenses incurred in the issuance of such Refinancing Restricted Indebtedness;

     (ii) such Refinancing Restricted Indebtedness is subordinated to the Obligations at
least to the same extent as such Refinanced Restricted Indebtedness and, in the case of
any Refinancing Restricted Indebtedness in respect of Second Lien Indebtedness, the

estates, heirs, beneficiaries, transferees, spouses or former spouses) pursuant to any management
equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or similar
agreement; provided, that the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause
(f) in any four-fiscal quarter period shall not exceed $5,000,000 as of the last day of such
four-fiscal quarter period;

     (k) other Restricted Payments or Restricted Second Lien Payments which, when aggregated with
all other Restricted Payments and Restricted Second Lien Payments made pursuant to this clause (k)
after the date hereof do not exceed $25,000,000.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the making of any dividend or distribution or the consummation
of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or
distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as applicable, will not be prohibited if, at the
date of declaration or notice such payment or redemption would have complied with the provisions of
this Agreement. A conversion of Second Lien Indebtedness into Capital Stock of Holdco shall not be
deemed to be a Restricted Second Lien Payment.

determined on a pro forma basis, is not greater than the lesser of (A) the maximum Total Leverage

business, assets or Holdco Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided,
however, that:

79

 

     (i) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of Holdco or any Holdco

balance sheet for purposes of this clause (g)(i)); and

     (ii) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no

provided, however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness:

Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning
such assets, in an aggregate principal amount which, when aggregated with the principal amount of
all other Indebtedness and preferred stock then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause
(q) and including all Indebtedness and preferred stock incurred to refund, refinance or replace any
other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (q), does not exceed $20,000,000;

81

 

     (r) (A) Indebtedness or preferred stock of Holdco, the Borrower or of a Subsidiary Guarantor

stock in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $150,000,000 of a
Non-Guarantor (other than an SPE) owing to Holdco, the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor;
provided, that any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness or preferred stock (except to

not permitted by this clause (r);

     (s) loans and advances owing by any Non-Guarantor to another Non-Guarantor;

     (w) Indebtedness of Holdco and Indebtedness or preferred stock of Holdco, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor not otherwise permitted hereunder in an aggregate principal amount or
liquidation preference, which when aggregated with the principal amount and liquidation preference
of all other Indebtedness or preferred stock then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause
(w), does not at any one time outstanding exceed $100,000,000.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Holdco nor any Holdco Subsidiary
shall incur or have outstanding any Indebtedness to the SPEs.

     For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.14: (i) in the event that an item
of Indebtedness or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of
the categories of permitted Indebtedness or preferred stock described in clauses (a) through (w)
above, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness
or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and
type of such Indebtedness or preferred stock in one of the above clauses; and (ii) at the time of
incurrence or reclassification, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of
Indebtedness or preferred stock in more than one of the types of Indebtedness or preferred stock
described in clauses (a) through (w) above.

     Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest or dividends
in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for
purposes of this Section 6.14.

     For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the
incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount

82

 

of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term
debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness
is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing
would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the
relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal
amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness
being refinanced.

     The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred
in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the
currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is
denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

     Section 6.15. Merger.

     (a) The Borrower will not consolidate, merge, liquidate or dissolve with or into (whether or
not the Borrower is the surviving entity), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all the properties or assets of the Borrower and the Borrower
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

     (i) either:

     (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
other than the Borrower) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance

the applicable Loan Documents to which it is a party

Administrative Agent; and

     Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to clause (b) below), any Borrower Subsidiary may
consolidate with, merge, liquidate or dissolve into or transfer all or part of its properties and
assets to Holdco or to another Holdco Subsidiary.

     (b) No Guarantor (including Holdco) will, and the Borrower will not permit any Guarantor to,
consolidate or merge with or into or dissolve or liquidate into (whether or not such Guarantor is
the surviving entity), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person
unless:

     (i) (A) such Guarantor is the surviving entity or the Person formed by or surviving
any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale,
assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is an entity
organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District
of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be,
being herein called the “Successor Person”); and

     (B) the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes
all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Loan Documents pursuant to
documents in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and

     (C) immediately before and after such transaction, no Default or Unmatured
Default exists; or

     (ii) such transaction is made in compliance with Section 6.16 (without regard to
Section 6.16(k)) or constitutes an Investment permitted by Section 6.17.

     The Successor Person will succeed to, and be substituted for such Guarantor under the Guaranty
and each other Loan Document.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with, merge into or

Guarantor.

of Holdco and the Holdco Subsidiaries previously leased, sold or disposed of as permitted by this

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if (i) Holdco fails to
comply with the requirements of 6.22(a) or 6.22(b) as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (ii) at
any during such fiscal quarter or thereafter until the date that is 15 days after the date the
Borrower is required to deliver financial statements with respect to such period pursuant to
Section 6.01, Holdco receives a cash contribution to its equity capital in exchange for common
shares of its Capital Stock and gives written notice to the Administrative Agent that such cash
contribution has been received and is a Specified Equity Contribution (any amount so identified, a
“Specified Equity Contribution”), then the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution will be
deemed to be an increase to Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance
with Sections 6.22(a) or 6.22(b) at the end of such fiscal quarter (and for purposes of determining
compliance with future periods that include such fiscal quarter) (but such Specified Equity
Contribution shall not be included for purposes of determining the Basket Amount or other purposes
hereunder); provided that (A) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at
least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, and no more
than four Specified Equity Contributions may be made from the Effective Date through the Term Loan
Maturity Date and (B) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the
amount required to cause Holdco to be in compliance with Sections 6.22(a) or 6.22(b). If after
giving effect to the foregoing recalculations Holdco shall be in compliance with the requirements
of Sections 6.22(a) or 6.22(b), Holdco shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such
covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no
failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default in respect of such covenant
that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of this Agreement. From the date on
which the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of a Specified Equity Contribution
with respect to a fiscal period until the 20th day after financial statements are required to be
delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 for such fiscal period, none of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Secured Party shall exercise any rights or remedies with
respect to a breach of Section 6.22(a) or 6.22(b) with respect to such fiscal period, but any such
breach shall not be deemed waived for purposes of Section 4.02 until such Specified Equity
Contribution is received by Holdco.

     Section 6.23. Subsidiary Guarantees. On the Effective Date and thereafter, on or before the
30th day following each date required for delivery of financial statements pursuant to
Section 6.01(a) or (b), Holdco shall cause the following entities to be or become Guarantors
hereunder: (i) each Material Domestic Subsidiary at such time and (ii) other Wholly-Owned Domestic
Subsidiaries such that, after giving effect thereto, the Subsidiaries of Holdco that are Guarantors
(considered without duplication and without consolidation with any of their respective Subsidiaries
that are Non-Guarantors) account for at least (A) 90% of the total consolidated assets and (B) 90%
of the total consolidated revenues, in each case of Holdco and its Domestic Subsidiaries determined
for the most recent fiscal quarter then ended (in the case of (A)) or most recent fiscal year then
ended (in the case of (B)). To effect the foregoing, Holdco shall cause an Authorized Officer of

95

 

each Subsidiary that is so required to become a Guarantor at such time to execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a joinder agreement under
the Guaranty in a form (together with any related certificates and opinions reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent at which time any Authorized Officer becomes aware that a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
substantially contemporaneously with any Subsidiary becoming a “Guarantor” (as defined in the
Indenture), Holdco shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to
documentation as described above.

     Section 6.24. Collateral. Effective upon any Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor after the date
hereof, Holdco shall cause such Guarantor within fifteen Business Days after becoming a Guarantor
(or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) to grant to the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties a first (subject to Permitted Liens) priority security interest in
all assets (including real property and the Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries) of such Guarantor
pursuant to documentation (including related certificates and opinions) reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent. Holdco will, and will cause the Borrower and each of the Guarantors to,
at the expense of the Borrower, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the
Administrative Agent from time to time such schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances,
financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other
assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, (a) neither
Holdco, the Borrower nor any other Guarantor shall be obligated hereby to grant a security interest
in any asset if the granting of such security interest would result in the violation of any
applicable law or regulation, (b) the Collateral shall not include a security interest in any asset
if the granting of such security interest would be prohibited by enforceable anti-assignment
provisions of contracts or applicable law (after giving effect to relevant provisions of the
Uniform Commercial Code), (c) fee-owned real property having an individual fair market value of
less than $2,500,000 or aggregate fair market value of less than $10,000,000 shall be excluded from
the Collateral, (d) the Collateral shall not include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable
or Portfolio Securities, or deposit or security accounts (except to the extent that the foregoing
are proceeds of Collateral; provided, that in no event shall any control agreements be required)
containing any of the foregoing, other assets requiring perfection through control agreements,
letter-of-credit rights, leasehold real property, motor vehicles and other assets subject to
certificates of title (other than any corporate aircraft), interests in certain joint ventures and
non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries which cannot be pledged without the consent of one or more third
parties and obligations the interest on which is wholly exempt from the taxes imposed by subtitle A
of the Code, (e) the pledge of the Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries shall be limited to 65% of
the Capital Stock of material first-tier Foreign Subsidiaries, (f) the Administrative Agent shall
have the discretion to exclude from the Collateral immaterial assets, assets as to which it and the
Borrower determine that the cost of obtaining such security interest would outweigh the benefit to
the Lenders and other assets in which it may determine that the taking of a security interest would
not be advisable, and (g) no foreign law security or pledge agreements shall be required.

default, event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder(s) of such Material Indebtedness
or the lender(s) under any Material Indebtedness Agreement to cause, such Material Indebtedness to
become due prior to its stated maturity; or any Material Indebtedness of Holdco or any of its

indirectly, out of the restatement of the consolidated financial statements of Holdco and its

Lenders under this Agreement (such financial statements so restated, the “Restated

98

 

Financial Statements”) as a result of the historical valuation, accounting and/or processes,
in each case for fiscal periods ended prior to the Effective Date, related to the investment
portfolio of Holdco and its Subsidiaries shall in no event constitute a Default or Unmatured
Default under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower furnishes to the Lenders the
Restated Financial Statements promptly after the public filing thereof (and in the case of Restated
Financial Statements of the Borrower, promptly after public filing of the corresponding restated
financial statements of Holdco) and (ii) in the event of a breach described in clause (c) of this
Section 7.13 consisting of any failure to deliver financial statements required by Section 6.01(a)
or (b) to be delivered for periods ending after the earliest period for which financial statements
are being restated (the “Subsequent Financial Statements”), (A) the Borrower furnishes to the
Lenders the Subsequent Financial Statements as to which such a breach exists not later than the
earlier of (x) the public filing of the corresponding financial statements of Holdco and (y) the
date that is 45 days, in the case of any delivery of financial statements for the first three
fiscal quarters of any fiscal year, or 60 days, in the case of financial statements for any fiscal
year, after the public filing of any Restated Financial Statements (and in the case of Restated
Financial Statements of the Borrower, promptly after public filing of the corresponding restated
financial statements of Holdco), (B) during such period for which the Subsequent Financial
Statements or related audit report, if applicable, required by Section 6.01(a) or (b) were not
available (which period shall in no event extend beyond the dates set forth in clause (i) above),
the Borrower furnishes to the Lenders, in lieu thereof, internal unaudited annual financial
statements and internal unaudited quarterly financial statements within the time periods set forth
in Section 6.01(a) or (b) respectively which are prepared on a consistent basis as internal
unaudited financial statements prepared by Holdco and its Subsidiaries which shall be certified by
a Financial Officer as (subject to the effect of adjustments for any pending restatement, normal
year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes) fairly presenting, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial condition and operations at such date and the consolidated results of
operations for the period then ended, in each case of Holdco and its Subsidiaries (it being
understood that neither (x) the fact that such certification is subject to such adjustments for any
pending restatement nor (y) any failure, as a result of such adjustments for any pending
restatement, of such internal unaudited financial statements to fairly present, in all material
respects, such consolidated financial condition and operations and consolidated results of
operations shall constitute a Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document), and (C) within one year of the date an audit report would be due under Section 6.01(a)
with respect to Subsequent Financial Statements for any fiscal year, the Borrower delivers to the
Lenders an audit report as required by Section 6.01(a) with respect to the applicable Subsequent
Financial Statements (which audit report may include a qualification relating to any pending
restatement described above and which qualified report shall not constitute a Default or Unmatured
Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in
no event will any Subsequent Financial Statements be delivered to the Lenders hereunder later than
corresponding financial statements are delivered to the noteholders under the Note Purchase
Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

Acceleration, Waivers, Amendments and Remedies

     Section 8.01. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.06 or 7.07 occurs with
respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation
and power of the LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate and the
Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of
the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required
Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or
suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the
LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both,
whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.

     Section 8.02. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02 and Section 8.03
and 8.04 below, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of
the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the
rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default
hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all
of the Lenders adversely affected thereby (or in the case of subsections 8.02(b), (d), (e) and (f),
all of the Lenders):

     (a) Extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit
to a date after the Maturity Date or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or
any LC Disbursements, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees
hereunder or LC Disbursements (it being understood that the waiver of default interest pursuant to
Section 2.14 shall only require the consent of Required Lenders), or amend Section 2.24.

     (b) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

     (c) Increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender hereunder (it being understood that any
change to or waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Unmatured
Defaults or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase or extension of the
Commitments of any Lender).

     (d) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement (it being understood that
any modification to Section 6.15 or 6.16 shall only require approval of the Required Lenders).

     (e) Amend this Section 8.02 or Section 11.02 (it being understood that with the consent of the
Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to
Section 2.25 )may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the
same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the Effective Date and this
Section 8.02 may be amended by the Required Lenders to reflect such extensions of credit.

100

 

     (f) Release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of
the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty, except, in either case, as contemplated
by Section 10.10.

     Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything herein or in Section 2.25 to the
contrary: the consent of the Required Term Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment
that (A) extends the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan or (B)
alters the amount or application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 in a manner adverse to
the interests of Lenders with Term Loans.

     No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be
effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any
provision relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC
Issuer. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any
Swing Line Loan made by such Swing Line Lender shall be effective without the written consent of
the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under
Section 12.01(b)(iv) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Affected Lender of the type described in
clauses (iii) or (iv) of Section 2.23(b) shall have any right to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the consent of each such Lender directly
affected thereby shall be required to (i) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender, (ii)
extend the final maturity of any Loan, (iii) forgive all or any portion of the principal amount
thereof or any LC Disbursements or (iv) amend Section 2.24.

     At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall identify from the list of
Lenders maintained by the Administrative Agent, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, those Lenders
that are Affiliated Lenders.

     Section 8.03. Replacement Loans. In addition, subject to Section 2.10(b) and 2.25, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term Loans to permit the refinancing of all of the outstanding Term Loans (the
“Refinanced Term Loans”) or the replacement of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment (the
“Refinanced Commitment”) with one or more replacement term loan tranches hereunder which shall be
Loans hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans) or one or more new revolving commitments (the
“Replacement Commitments”); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement
Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the
Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin
for such Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such
Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such
Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, at the time of such refinancing, (d) the aggregate amount of
the Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Refinanced Commitment, (e) the Applicable Margin
for such Replacement Commitment shall not exceed the Applicable Margin for the Refinanced
Commitment, (f) the borrower of such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Commitment shall be the
Borrower and (g) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans or Replacement
Commitments shall be substantially identical to, or not materially more favorable to the Lenders
providing such Replacement Loans or Replacement Commitments than, those applicable

101

 

to such Refinanced Term Loans or Refinanced Commitments, except to the extent necessary to
provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of
the Term Loans, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

     Section 8.04. Errors. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
8.02, if following the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have agreed
in their sole and absolute discretion that there is an ambiguity, inconsistency, manifest error or
any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the
Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such
provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any
other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders
within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof (it being understood that the
Administrative Agent has no obligation to agree to any such amendment).

     Section 8.05. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or
the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or
be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and a Credit Extension
notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the
conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any
single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms,
conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed
by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.02 or as otherwise provided in Section 8.03 or 8.04,
and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the
Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the
Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE 9

General Provisions

     Section 9.01. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the
Borrower and Holdco contained in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Credit Extensions
herein contemplated.

     Section 9.02. Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, neither the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the
Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or
regulation.

     Section 9.03. Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of
reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan
Documents.

102

 

     Section 9.04. Entire Agreement. Other than those certain fee letter agreements dated April
4, 2011 among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Bookrunners, the Loan Documents embody
the entire agreement and understanding among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer
and the Lenders and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders relating to the subject matter thereof which
shall survive and remain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement.

     Section 9.05. Several Obligations; Benefits of This Agreement. The respective obligations of
the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and no Lender shall be the partner or agent of any
other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The
failure of any Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to
confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that the parties hereto expressly agree that
the Arranger shall enjoy the benefits of the provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.08 to the extent
specifically set forth therein and shall have the right to enforce such provisions on its own
behalf and in its own name to the same extent as if it were a party to this Agreement.

     Section 9.06. Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.

     (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in
any relevant jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated),
(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer (including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer) in
connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the LC Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer), in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made or 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) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each
Joint Lead Arranger, each Joint Bookrunner, the Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent,
each Lender and the LC 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 fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against
any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan

103

 

Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the
parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, 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, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by the LC 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 liability arising under Environmental Laws 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 or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or
such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, 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, or material breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee or
(y) arise from disputes solely among Indemnitees, and in such event solely to the extent that the
underlying dispute does not arise as a result of an action, inaction or representation of, or
information provided by or on behalf of, Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

     (c) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount
required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent
(or any sub-agent thereof), the LC 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 LC 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 LC 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 LC Issuer in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are
subject to the provisions of Section 9.05.

     (d) 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 subsection (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

104

 

negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

     (f) The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent,
the LC 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.

     Section 9.07. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to
be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that
jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other
jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

     Section 9.08. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand
and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that
of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC Issuer nor any
Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. Neither the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or
inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or
operations. The Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC
Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or
otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way
related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents,
or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the
gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or breach of the Loan Documents by, the party
from which recovery is sought or any dispute solely between or among the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers, the LC Issuer and/or any Lender and not involving Holdco, the Borrower, the Sponsors or
their respective Affiliates. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the LC Issuer nor
any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and
agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by the
Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated thereby.

     Section 9.09. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to hold any
Information (as defined below) which it may receive from the Borrower in connection with this
Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to its Affiliates and to the Administrative
Agent and any other Lender and their respective Affiliates for use solely in connection with the
performance of their respective obligations hereunder contemplated hereby, (b) to legal counsel,
accountants, and other professional advisors to such Lender, (c) to regulatory officials, (d) to
any Person as required by law, regulation, or legal process, (e) in connection with the exercise of
any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Loan Documents or the
enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) to its direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap
agreements or to

105

 

legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to such counterparties, provided
that each such Person agreed to be bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as
provided under this Section 9.09, (g) permitted by Section 12.02, and (h) to rating agencies if
requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Advances
hereunder. Without limiting Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that the terms of this Section 9.09
shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrower and each Lender (including the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any Information previously or hereafter received by such
Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 9.09 shall supersede any and all prior
confidentiality agreements entered into by such Lender with respect to such Information. For the
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdco, the Borrower,
its Subsidiaries or their agents or representatives relating to Holdco, the Borrower, its
Subsidiaries or their agents or other representatives or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender on a
non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdco or the Borrower. 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 LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 9.09 FURNISHED TO IT
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDCO AND ITS
AFFILIATES, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS
THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES
AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

     ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE

          Section 10.01. Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders and the LC 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

107

 

Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the LC Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights
as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

     (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents,
and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash
Management Bank) and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the LC Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and
enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the
Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In
this connection, the Administrative Agent, as Collateral and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of
holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the
Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the
Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Article 8, Article 9
and this Article 10 (including Section 9.06, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full
herein with respect thereto.

     Section 10.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other
advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder
and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

     Section 10.03. 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, any information relating to
the Borrower

108

 

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.

     (d) 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 Section 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 LC Issuer.

     (e) 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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created
by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm
receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     (f) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any assignment or participation made to a
Disqualified Institution.

     Section 10.04. 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 LC Issuer, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the LC
Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the LC 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.

     Section 10.05. 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

109

 

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

     Section 10.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice
of its resignation to the Lenders, the LC 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 and shall in no event be a Disqualified
Institution. 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 LC
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 (a) 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 LC 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 (b) 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 LC 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 8.02 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.

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also
constitute its resignation as LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring LC Issuer and
Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor LC 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 LC Issuer to effectively assume the
obligations of the retiring LC Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     Section 10.07. Non-reliance On Administrative Agent And Other Lenders.

          Each Lender and the LC 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 LC 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.

     Section 10.08. No Other Duties, Etc.Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Bookrunners, Arrangers, Documentation Agents 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 LC
Issuer hereunder.

     Section 10.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.In case of the pendency of any Insolvency
Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure 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, LC Exposures 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 LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders,
the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08, 2.22(k), and 9.06) allowed in such

of such payments directly to the Lenders and the LC 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 2.08 and 9.06.

     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 LC Issuer any

111

 

plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the
LC Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
the LC Issuer or in any such proceeding.

     Section 10.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a
potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank) and the LC Issuer irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

     (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under
any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all
Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) Secured Cash Management
Obligations and Secured Hedge Obligations as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable
Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all
Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as
part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
(iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 8.02;

writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty
pursuant to this Section 10.10. In each case as specified in this Section 10.10, the
Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan
Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item
of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or
to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under
the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section
10.10.

Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as attorney-in-fact on behalf of such
Lender and agrees that in consideration of the benefits of the security being provided to such
Lender in accordance with the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and by
acceptance of those benefits, each Lender (including any Lender which becomes such by assignment
pursuant to Section 12.01 after the date hereof) shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement and shall comply (and shall cause any Affiliate thereof which is the holder
of any First Priority Obligations (as defined therein) to comply) with such terms and provisions.

demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such
Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the
Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or
Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this

Section 11.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which
such Lender may have.

counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swing Line Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans of
other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans; provided that
(a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the

to any assignee or participant pursuant to Section 12.01.

inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative

upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) 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(s) and the Loans
(including for purposes of this Section 12.01(b), participations in LC Exposures and in Swing Line
Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions:

          (i)(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment under any facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such
Facility 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

     (B) in any case not described in subsection (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, in the case of any assignment in respect of
the Revolving Credit Loans, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in
respect of the Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long
as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, 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) 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 (A) apply to
the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B)
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among
separate facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

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

     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) shall be required unless (1) a Default has

114

 

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; provided that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having
received notice thereof;

     (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of
(1) any Term Commitment or Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable
Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such
Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, an
Affiliated Lender or a Specified Debt Fund;

     (C) the consent of the LC 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 in respect
of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

     (iv) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the
amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     (v) No such assignment shall be made (x) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates (including Holdco) (other than Specified Debt Funds) or Subsidiaries (except
with respect to the assignment of Term Loans in accordance with Sections 12.01(h) or
12.01(i)) or (y) to any person that is Disqualified Institution at the time of such
assignment.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations

115

 

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 9.06 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower
(at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.01(d).

Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make an assignment of any of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment to any Disqualified Institution.

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

     (d) 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 or a
Disqualified Institution) (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 LC Exposures 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 and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuer shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a
Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 12.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to
subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.01(b). To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.01 as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.02 as though it were a Lender. Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States of America on which it enters the name and
address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under

116

 

the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a
participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its obligations under any
Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such
commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not
sell any participations of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the
Loans or the Commitment to any person who is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such sale.

     (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or
3.05 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 that would be a foreign lender if it
were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05 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 3.05(d) as though it were a Lender.

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

     (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America
or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit
Loans pursuant to Section 12.01(b), Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as applicable,
may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as LC Issuer and/or (ii) in
the case of Bank of America, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In
the event of any such resignation as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect
the resignation of Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
as the case may be. If Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. resigns as LC Issuer, it shall
retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all
Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as LC Issuer and all LC
Exposures with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Floating Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 2.22(d)). If Bank of
America or JPMorgan 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 Floating
Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.07.
Upon the appointment of a successor LC 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
LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor LC Issuer shall issue
letters of credit in substitution for the

117

 

Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of
such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as applicable, to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America or JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as applicable, with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     (h) Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to any Affiliated Lender on a non-pro rata basis
through (x) Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction
Procedures or (y) open market purchases, subject to the following limitations:

     (i) [Reserved.]

     (ii) Affiliated Lenders will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive,
information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will
not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in,
meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right
to receive notices of borrowings hereunder, notices of prepayments and other
administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to
Lenders pursuant to Article 2; and

     (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated
Lenders may not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (including
any Incremental Term Loans) outstanding at such time under this Agreement.

     (iv) Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.01 or the definition of “Required
Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have
(i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other
action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan
Party therefrom, or any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii)
otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required
the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or
refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Loans
(or Commitments in respect thereof) held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to have
been voted pro rata in accordance with the votes of all Lenders other than Affiliated
Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any such
actions.

     (i) If any assignment is made (i) to an Affiliated Lender such that the aggregate
principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders described in subsection
(h)(iii) above exceeds 25% (a “Disqualified Affiliated Lender”) or (ii) to a Disqualified
Institution (a “Disqualified Assignee” and, together with the Disqualified Affiliated Lender, the
“Disqualified Assignees”), such assignment shall be null and void ab initio. Any Disqualified
Assignee shall be deleted from the Register as of the date that the Administrative Agent has
knowledge of its status as a Disqualified Assignee. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for reversing payments made to any Disqualified Assignee following its receipt of an
assignment.

118

 

     (j) So long as no Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, any Lender
may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in
respect of its Term Loans to Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries on a non-pro rata basis solely
through Dutch Auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Auction
Procedures, subject to the following limitations and other provisions:

     (i) Holdco and the Borrower shall represent and warrant as of the date of any such
purchase and assignment that neither Holdco nor the Borrower nor any of their respective
directors or officers has any material non-public information with respect to Holdco, the
Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the
assigning Lender (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive
material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and their
respective Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information
could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to
a Term Lender’s decision to assign Term Loans to Holdco or the Borrower as applicable;

     (ii) Holdco and the Borrower will not be entitled to receive, and will not receive,
information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will
not be permitted to attend or participate in, and will not attend or participate in,
meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;

     (iii) borrowings of Revolving Loans shall not be made to directly fund the purchase
or assignment;

     (iv) any Term Loans purchased by Holdco or the Borrower shall be automatically and
permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition by Holdco or the Borrower;

     (v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including in the
definitions of “Consolidated Net Income” and “Consolidated EBITDA”) any non-cash gains in
respect of “cancellation of indebtedness” resulting from the cancellation of any Term
Loans purchased by Holdco or the
Borrower shall be excluded from the determination of Consolidated Net Income and
Consolidated EBITDA; and

     (vi) the cancellation of Term Loans in connection with a Dutch Auction shall not
constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of Section 2.10, but the face
amount of Term Loans cancelled as provided for in above shall be applied on a pro rata
basis to the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Term
Loans.

     Section 12.02. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose
to any Participant, actual or proposed assignee of an interest in the Obligations or Loan Documents
(each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s
possession concerning the creditworthiness of Holdco and its Subsidiaries, including without
limitation any information contained in any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01
hereof; provided that each

119

 

Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by an agreement
with provisions at least as restrictive as those provided under Section 9.09 of this Agreement.

     Section 12.03. Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any
Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness
of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.05(d) or (e), as applicable.

Exhibit 10.2

Execution Version

GUARANTY

     THIS GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”) is made as of the 18th day of May, 2011, by MoneyGram
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdco”), MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Payment Systems”) and MoneyGram of New York LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“MGI NY”; Holdco, Payment Systems, MGI NY and each Person who becomes a
party to this Guaranty by execution of a supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the
“Guarantors” and each, individually, a “Guarantor”), in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under the
Credit Agreement referred to below.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Holdco, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and certain other Lenders are
contemporaneously herewith entering into a certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as
the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated or modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), providing, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions
of credit to be made by the Lenders to the Borrower;

     WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders executing the
Credit Agreement that each of the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the
Guarantors shall agree to guarantee payment when due, subject to Section 10 hereof, of all
Guaranteed Obligations, as defined below; and

     WHEREAS, in consideration of the benefits to Holdco of the credit to be extended pursuant to
the Credit Agreement, the financial and other support that the Borrower has provided, and such
financial and other support as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in
order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, the
Hedge Banks to enter into one or more Rate Management Transactions with any Loan Party and the Cash
Management Banks to enter into one or more Cash Management Agreements with any Loan Party, and
because each Guarantor has determined that executing this Guaranty is in its interest and to its
financial benefit, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement or any Note and the other Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge
Obligations and the Secured Cash Management Obligations;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1.1. Selected Terms Used Herein.

10

 

     “Applicable Obligor” means, with respect to the Obligations, the Borrower, and, with
respect to any Secured Hedge Obligation or Secured Cash Management Obligation, whichever Obligor is
party to the applicable Rate Management Transaction or Cash Management Agreement, as applicable.

     “Guaranteed Obligations” is defined in Section 3 below.

     “Obligor” means, individually and collectively, each of the Borrower and any other
obligor in respect of a Secured Hedge Obligation or Secured Cash Management Obligation.

     “Termination Date” means the first date on which (a) the Credit Agreement is
terminated, (b) the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) have been fully
and completely performed and indefeasibly satisfied, (c) the Commitments have terminated, (d) each
Rate Management Transaction with any Hedge Bank shall have terminated or expired or, with respect
to any such Rate Management Transaction with any Hedge Bank that remains in effect, the applicable
Loan Party has provided to such Hedge Bank collateral support of a kind and in an amount that is
consistent with prevailing market terms for an exposure comparable to the exposure of such
counterparty under such Rate Management Transaction and reasonably acceptable to such Hedge Bank,
and (e) all Secured Cash Management Obligations then due and payable have been paid in full.

     SECTION 1.2. Terms in Credit Agreement. Other capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 2.1. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Guarantors hereby reaffirms
the representations and warranties applicable to it under Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the Credit
Agreement (which representations and warranties are hereby made by such Guarantors and are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Guaranty as if set forth herein in full).

     SECTION 2.2. Covenants. Each of the Guarantors covenants that, until the Termination
Date, that it will, and, if necessary, will enable the Borrower to, fully comply with those
covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement and applicable to it.

     SECTION 3. The Guaranty. Subject to Section 10 hereof, each of the Guarantors hereby
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, the full and
punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or early termination or otherwise,
and at all times thereafter) and performance of the Obligations, the Secured Hedge Obligations and
the Secured Cash Management Obligations, including without limitation any such Obligations, Secured
Hedge Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations incurred or accrued during the pendency of
any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not allowed or
allowable in such proceeding (collectively, subject to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, being
referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon failure by the Applicable
Obligor to pay punctually any such amount, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on
demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and, if applicable, their
Affiliates, the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the

 

 

Credit
Agreement, any Note, any Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash
Management Agreement with a Cash Management Bank or the relevant Loan Document, as the case
may be. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors
waives any right to require the Lender to sue the Applicable Obligor, any other guarantor, or any
other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise to enforce
its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     SECTION 4. Guaranty Unconditional. Subject to Section 10 hereof, the obligations of
each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise, or any obligation of any other
guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any default, failure or delay, willful or
otherwise, in the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any Note, any
Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Agreement with a Cash
Management Bank or any other Loan Document (except in the case of a release or discharge of
such Guarantors effected pursuant to the terms of a waiver, amendment or modification of
this Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof);

(iii) any release, nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any
obligation of the Applicable Obligor under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any Rate
Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Agreement with a Cash
Management Bank, any other Loan Document, or any obligations of any other guarantor of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender with respect to any collateral securing all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any
other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, or any other guarantor of
the Guaranteed Obligations, or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any
obligation of the Borrower, or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any
time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any
unrelated transactions;

(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Applicable Obligor, or
any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the
Credit Agreement, any Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management
Agreement with a Cash Management Bank, any other Loan Document, or any

 

 

provision of
applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the
Applicable Obligor, or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of the principal
of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement, any Note, any Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management
Agreement with a Cash Management Bank or any other Loan Document; or

(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other
guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other
Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder (other than the occurrence of the Termination Date).

     SECTION 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full: Reinstatement In Certain
Circumstances. Each of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect until the Termination Date. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on
any Note or any other amount payable by the Applicable Obligor or any other party under the Credit
Agreement, any Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Agreement with a
Cash Management Bank or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Applicable Obligor or otherwise,
each of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as
though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

     SECTION 6. Waivers. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided
for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against
the Applicable Obligor, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other
Person.

     SECTION 7. Subrogation. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees not to assert any
right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification or otherwise, against the Applicable Obligor arising out of or by
reason of this Guaranty or the obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the payment or
securing or purchasing of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any of the Guarantors unless and
until the occurrence of the Termination Date. If any amount is paid to any Guarantor on account of
subrogation rights under this Guaranty at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations have not
been paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the
holders of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be promptly paid to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations to be credited and applied to the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with
the terms hereof and of the Loan Documents. If any Guarantor makes payment to any holder of
Guaranteed Obligations of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and all the Guaranteed
Obligations are paid in full and the Loan Documents are no longer in effect, the applicable holder
of Guaranteed Obligations shall, at such Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to
evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations
resulting from the payment.

 

 

     SECTION 8. Subordination. Without limiting the rights of the holders of any
Guaranteed Obligation under any other agreement, any liabilities owed by any of the Applicable
Obligors to any Guarantor in connection with any extension of credit or financial accommodation by
such Guarantor to or for the account of such Applicable Obligor, including but not limited to
interest accruing at the agreed contract rate after the commencement of a bankruptcy or similar
proceeding, are hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations until the Termination Date, and
such liabilities of such Guarantor to the Applicable Obligor, if the Administrative Agent so
requests, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the holders of
the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
such holders on account of the Guaranteed Obligations but without reducing or affecting in any
manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

     SECTION 9. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Applicable Obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the
Credit Agreement, any Note, any Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management
Agreement with a Cash Management Bank or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by
each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the
request of the Required Lenders.

     SECTION 10. Limitation on Obligations. (a) The provisions of this Guaranty are
severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal
or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors
generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or
determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the
contrary, the amount of such liability (after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Guaranty) shall, without any further action by the
Guarantors, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the
highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such
highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”).
This Section 10(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability of the Guarantors is intended solely to
preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to
avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have
any right or claim under this Section 10(a) with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the
extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable
under applicable law.

     (b) Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from
time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Guarantor, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum
Liability of all other Guarantors, without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Section 10(b) shall be

 

 

construed to
increase any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

     (c) In the event any Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or
payments under this Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any
collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Guaranty, each other Guarantor (each
a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such
Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by
such Paying Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with
respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on
which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s
Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to
make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been
determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the
Applicable Obligor after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to
(ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor)
as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any
contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any
Guarantors, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Guarantors from the Applicable
Obligor after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in
this Section 10(c) shall affect any Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Guarantors
covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Guaranty from a
Non-Paying Guarantor shall, until the Termination Date, be subordinate and junior in right of
payment to all the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Section 10(c) are for the
benefit of both the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or
more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

     SECTION 11. Application of Payments. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations in the order set forth in Section 2.24(b) of the Credit Agreement, unless a court of
competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct.

     SECTION 12. Joinder. Pursuant to Section 6.23 of the Credit Agreement, certain
Subsidiaries are from time to time required to enter into this Guaranty as a Guarantor. Upon
execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and such Subsidiary of a
supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with
the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery
of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the
consent of any Guarantor hereunder, of the Borrower or of any Lender. The rights and obligations
of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Guarantor as a party hereto.

     SECTION 13. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party
hereunder shall be given or made by telecopier or other writing and telecopied, or mailed or
delivered to the intended recipient at its address or telecopier number set forth on the signature
pages

 

 

hereof or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such
purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 of
the Credit Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Guaranty, all such communications
shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopier, or personally delivered or,
in the case of a mailed notice sent by certified mail return-receipt requested, on the date set
forth on the receipt (provided, that any refusal to accept any such notice shall be deemed to be
notice thereof as of the time of any such refusal), in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

     SECTION 14. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any
Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this
Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any Note, any Rate Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any
Cash Management Agreement with a Cash Management Bank and the other Loan Documents shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 15. No Duty to Advise. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the
nature, scope and extent of the risks that each of the Guarantors assumes and incurs under this
Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any duty to advise
any of the Guarantors of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

     SECTION 16. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns and in
the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any Rate
Management Transaction with a Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Agreement with a Cash Management Bank
or the other Loan Documents, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so
assigned, shall be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of
the Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

     SECTION 17. Changes in Writing. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the
Guarantors and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders.

     SECTION 18. Costs of Enforcement. Each of the Guarantors agrees to pay all costs and
expenses including, without limitation, all reasonable and documented court costs and attorneys’
fees and expenses (limited with respect to legal expenses to the reasonable fees, disbursements and
other charges of one counsel to all the Lenders, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel
in any relevant jurisdiction) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any
Affiliate of any Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations
from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Applicable Obligor, the Guarantors or any other
guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF

 

 

JURY TRIAL. THIS
GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, BUT
GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT
SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK AND FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS GUARANTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF
THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
ACCEPTING THIS GUARANTY, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     SECTION 20. Taxes. etc. Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement and all relevant
defined terms shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to all payments required to be made by any of the
Guarantors hereunder and such Section is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part of
this Guaranty as if set forth herein in full.

     SECTION 21. Setoff. Without limiting the rights of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders under applicable law, if all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations is then due, whether
pursuant to the occurrence of a Default or otherwise, then the Guarantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to apply any sums standing to the credit of the Guarantor with
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender toward the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

EXHIBIT A

     SUPPLEMENT NO. __________ dated as of ________________________, to the Guaranty dated as of
May 18, 2011 (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), by MoneyGram International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Holdco”) and the Guarantors party thereto in favor of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders.

     Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2011 (as amended, restated,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), among Holdco, MoneyGram Payment Systems Worldwide, Inc. (the “Borrower”),
the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

     Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Guaranty and the Credit Agreement.

     The Guarantors have entered into the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to extend credit
pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to Section 6.23 of the Credit Agreement, the
undersigned Subsidiary is required to enter into the Guaranty as a Guarantor. Section 12 of the
Guaranty provides that additional Subsidiaries of Holdco may become Guarantors under the Guaranty
by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned
Subsidiary of Holdco (the “New Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with
the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guaranty in order to
induce the Lenders to extend and continue the extension of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

     Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 12 of the Guaranty, the New Guarantor by its signature
below becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty with the same force and effect as if originally named
therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby agrees to all the terms and warrants that the
representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and
warranties expressly relate to an earlier date). Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Guaranty
shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Guaranty is hereby incorporated herein by
reference.

     SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes
its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

 

     SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement
shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this
Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Guarantor and the
Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guaranty shall remain in full force
and effect.

     SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL
BANKS.

     SECTION 6. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided
in Section 13 of the Guaranty. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall
be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Borrower.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Guarantor and the Administrative Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the Guaranty as of the day and year first above written
