Equity Compensation

Annual Grant

Annual equity grants shall be the equivalent in value to $150,000/year. The equity amount will be
determined by dividing $150,000 by the average stock price of the Company during the last 20
trading sessions preceding and including the Annual Meeting date to arrive at a restricted stock
unit equivalent. Restricted stock units and/or stock options (or any combination of stock options
and restricted stock units at a 2:1 ratio) shall be granted with a vesting start date of the first
trading day of July of each year, vesting in one year from the vesting start date. Grants for new
directors will be pro-rated for partial year service and granted on the first business day of the
month following the later of the initial date of service or the date on which such grant is
approved. The number of stock options and restricted stock units will be reviewed annually by the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and are subject to change. Directors with equity
vesting from equity grants granted prior to the effective date of this Director Compensation Plan
will not receive new annual grants until all prior equity grants are fully vested unless an
exception is made by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

In addition to the cash and equity compensation described above, the Company reimburses each member
of the Board of Directors for reasonable travel and other expenses in connection with attending
meetings of the Board of Directors or committees thereof.

This Plan is prospective from the effective date and will not affect any compensation paid or
granted before that date. This Plan may be amended from time to time by vote of the Board of
Directors. This Plan does not affect the obligations of the Company to indemnify directors as set
forth in relevant sections of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws or
indemnification agreements. Questions or issues concerning the application and administration of
this Plan will be addressed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.exv10w2

time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of

borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this
Section 2.01. Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.

     2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans.

     (a) Each Revolving Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other,
and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice
must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days
prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Revolving Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans to Base Rate Revolving
Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans. Each
telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and
2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Revolving Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving
Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i)

23

 

whether the Borrower is requesting a
Revolving Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Revolving Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Revolving Loans to be

duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of
Revolving Loan in a Revolving Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be made as, or
converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective
as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar
Rate Revolving Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans in any such Revolving Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest
Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

     (b) Following receipt of a Revolving Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Revolving Loans,
and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Revolving Borrowing, each
Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the
Business Day specified in the applicable Revolving Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial
Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i)
crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of
such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date the Revolving Loan Notice with respect to
such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of
such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings,
and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan.
During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as
Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

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

24

 

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

Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C
Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower
for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing
limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to
obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during
the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have
expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall

subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

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

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

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

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

     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from

25

 

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

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

     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer,
the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000;

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

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

     (F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of
the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

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

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

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

26

 

Agent” as used
in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

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

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the
request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by
a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received
by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five (5)
Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer
may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance
date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial
issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested
Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry
date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the
purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment
of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form
and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the
proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally,
the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other
documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or
amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may
require.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if
not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the
L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan
Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article
IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the
Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case
may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be
deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C
Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

27

 

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

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

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the
L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower
shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the
amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject
to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Loan Notice). Any
notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing;

28

 

provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

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

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section
4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that
is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with
interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

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

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

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C
Issuer shall be

29

 

entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C
Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan
included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C
Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of
Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection

30

 

with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

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

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

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

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

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document
or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided,
however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may
have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the
extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to

31

 

consequential or exemplary, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of
any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or
assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing
Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

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

     (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Agent’s Fee Letter, computed on the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears
Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March,
June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion
thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of
Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section

32

 

1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such
customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are
nonrefundable.

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

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

     2.04 Swing Line Loans.

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

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed

33

 

promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing
Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing
Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line
Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.
Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the
proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan
as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV
is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender
will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make
the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

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

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

34

 

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

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

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

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

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

35

 

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

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

     2.05 Prepayments.

     (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Revolving
Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Revolving Loans; (ii) any prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Revolving Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if
less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Revolving Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of
the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by
the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.16,
each such prepayment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Percentages.

     (b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment,
and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice
shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given
by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in
such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

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

36

 

     2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce
the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination
or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing
Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of
any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the
Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable
Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

     2.07 Repayment of Loans.

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

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

     2.08 Interest.

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

     (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

     (ii) If any Event of Default occurs as a result of the failure by the Borrower or any
other Loan Party to pay any amount (other than principal of any Loan) under any Loan
Document when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the
request of the Required Lenders and written notice by Administrative Agent to the Borrower,
such amount shall (as of the due date therefor) bear interest at a fluctuating

37

 

interest rate
per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iii) While any Event of Default (not otherwise described in clauses (i) and (ii) above)
exists, from and after the Administrative Agent has sent written notice to the Borrower, the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder
at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

38

 

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

     (b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the
Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate
and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher
pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or
deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the
United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have
been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This
paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.08(b) or under
Article VIII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

     2.11 Evidence of Debt.

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

     (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender
and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or

39

 

records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of demonstrable
error.

     2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

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

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

40

 

prejudice to
any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

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

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

     2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
the Revolving Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing

41

 

Line Loans
held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Revolving Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share
thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Revolving Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and other amounts owing them, provided
that:

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

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

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

     2.14 Increase in Commitments.

     (a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Event of Default, upon notice to
the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to
time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not
exceeding $100,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a
minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of five such requests, and (iii)
such increase shall be on the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Loan Documents. At
the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event
be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

     (b) Lender Elections to Increase. The Lenders shall have a pro-rata right of first
refusal as to any increase in the Aggregate Commitments requested by the Borrower pursuant to

42

 

this Section 2.14, provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to
participate in such increase by increasing its own Commitment, which decision shall be made in the
sole discretion of each Lender. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within the time
period specified in clause (a) above whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if
so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such
requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to subsection
(e), no consent of the Lenders shall be required to implement any increase in the Aggregate
Commitments (other than those Lenders choosing to participate in such increase).

     (c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder. In the event that, following the expiration of the time period referred to in
subsection (a), the total increase in Commitments consented to by the Lenders pursuant to
subsection (b) is less than the increase in the Aggregate Commitments requested by the
Borrower, then to achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may also invite
additional Eligible Assignees, or any other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

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

     (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. Any increase in the Aggregate
Commitments shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

     (i) as of the Increase Effective Date, before and after giving effect to such increase,
(x) no Default shall exist, (y) the Borrower shall be in compliance on a pro forma basis
with each of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.11, and (z) the
representations and warranties contained in Article V and each other Loan Documents
shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in the case of a representation or
warranty that is already subject to a materiality condition, in all respects), except to the
extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that (i) for
purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in
clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the
most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 6.01 and (ii) for purposes of this Section 2.14,
the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.13 shall be deemed to
refer to the most recent, updated Schedule 5.13 delivered to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Sections 6.02(a) and 10.01; and

     (ii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of
each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each
Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching

43

 

the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y)
certifying that the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) are satisfied.

The Borrower shall make such Borrowings and repayments of Revolving Loans on the Increase Effective
Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent
necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages
resulting from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

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

     2.15 Cash Collateral.

     (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or
the L/C Issuer, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any
Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall,
in the case of clause (i) above, within one Business Day thereof, or in the case of clause (ii)
above, immediately, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Each
Defaulting Lender shall, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an
amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure in respect of such Defaulting Lender;
provided, however, that to the extent any such Defaulting Lender shall fail to
provide Cash Collateral as required hereunder, immediately upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect
to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

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

     (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections
2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit
or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the

44

 

satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations,
Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for
which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may
be provided for herein.

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

     2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

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

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

     (ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise,
and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the
payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or
requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future
funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or
Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has
failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result
of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default
exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a
result of

45

 

that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount
of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C
Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid
or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post Cash
Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

     (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to
receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender,
provided, that if any other Lender shall at any time assume (as a result of any reallocation
pursuant to clause (iv) below) any portion of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender, such
Lender shall be entitled to any commitment fee that would have been payable to such
Defaulting Lender relating to such assumed portion) and (y) shall be limited in its right to
receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

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

     (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line
Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be

46

 

necessary to cause the
Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without
giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

     3.01 Taxes.

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

     (ii) If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to
withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and
withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall
withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant
to subsection (e) below (or lack thereof), (B) the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or
deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (without duplication), the
sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been made.

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

     (c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection
(a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative
Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days
after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (without
duplication and

47

 

including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and
any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand
therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay
indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A
certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender
or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error.

     (ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above,
each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand
therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities,
penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the
failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of
the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as applicable, under this clause (ii). The agreements in this
clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
other Obligations.

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

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

48

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     (IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate, in the form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and
Administrative Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or, if
applicable, any of its direct or indirect beneficial owners) is not (A) a
“bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section

49

 

881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) properly
completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

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

     (C) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail 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 shall deliver to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and
at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA
and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, solely for purposes of
this clause (C), “FATCA” shall be deemed to include any amendment to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement.

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

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),

50

 

net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

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

     3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan or

51

 

in connection with an existing or
proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding
sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the
Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein.

     3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

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

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

     (ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or
any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax imposed with respect to such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower
will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs
incurred or reduction suffered.

     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or

52

 

would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

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

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

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

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

53

 

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

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

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

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

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan made by it
at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London
interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not
such Eurodollar Rate Revolving Loan was in fact so funded.

     3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

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

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

ARTICLE V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

each case referred to in clause (b)(i) or (c), to the extent that failure to do so
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.02 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan
Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is party, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the
terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) result in the imposition or the creation
of (or requirement to create) any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party; (c) conflict with or result
in any breach or contravention of, or require any payment to be made under (i) any Contractual
Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such
Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental
Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (d) violate any
Law, except with respect to any conflict, breach or contravention, payment or violation in clauses
(c) or (d) above, to the extent that such conflict, breach, contravention or payment, individually
or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.03 Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. No approval, consent, exemption,
authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any
other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery

57

 

or performance by,
or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for
approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices and filings which have been duly
obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect or the failure to obtain would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.04 Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document, when delivered
hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto.
This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is party thereto, enforceable against
such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

     5.05 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.

     (a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii)
fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby
in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as
otherwise expressly noted therein; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other liabilities,
direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including
liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

     (b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated June
30, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income or operations,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except
as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results
of operations for the period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and
(ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments. Schedule
5.05 sets forth all material indebtedness and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the
Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements, including
liabilities for taxes, material commitments and Indebtedness.

     (c) The consolidated forecasted balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(c) were prepared in good
faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the
conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of
delivery, the Borrower’s best estimate of its future financial condition and performance.

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

58

 

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

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

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

     5.09 Environmental Compliance. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary
course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging
potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective
businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof the Borrower has
reasonably concluded that, except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.09, such
Environmental Laws and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.10 Insurance. The properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with
financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the Borrower, in such
amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies
engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower or the
applicable Subsidiary operates.

     5.11 Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and other
material Tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal, state and other
material Taxes due and payable by them, except those which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in
accordance with GAAP. There is no proposed tax assessment against the Borrower or any Subsidiary
that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary
thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.

     5.12 ERISA Compliance.

     (a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a
qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion
letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal
Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the

59

 

Code. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such
tax-qualified status.

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

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

     (d) Neither the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any
unsatisfied obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan
other than (A) on the Closing Date, those listed on Schedule 5.12 hereto and (B)
thereafter, Pension Plans not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

     5.13 Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those
specifically disclosed in Part (a) of Schedule 5.13 (as such schedule may be updated from
time to time pursuant to Sections 6.02(a) and 10.01), and all of the
outstanding Equity Interests in such Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable (other than for directors’ qualifying shares of a Subsidiary that is not a Domestic
Subsidiary solely to the extent required by applicable Law) and are owned by a Loan Party in the
amounts specified on Part (a) of Schedule 5.13 (as such schedule may be updated from time
to time pursuant to Sections 6.02(a) and 10.01), and, in the case of any
Equity Interests of any other Loan Party, owned free and clear of all Liens (other than
non-consensual Liens permitted by Section 7.01). The Borrower has no equity investments in
any other corporation or entity other than those specifically disclosed in Part (b) of Schedule
5.13 (as such schedule may be updated from time to time pursuant to Sections
6.02(a) and 10.01). All of the outstanding Equity Interests in the Borrower have
been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable.

60

 

     5.14 Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act.

     (a) The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important
activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock. Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each
Letter of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Borrower only or of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) subject to the provisions of Section
7.01 or Section 7.05 or subject to any restriction contained in any agreement or
instrument between the Borrower and any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender relating to
Indebtedness and within the scope of Section 8.01(e) will be margin stock.

     (b) None of the Borrower, any Person Controlling the Borrower, or any Subsidiary is or is
required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     5.15 Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No report,
financial statement, certificate or other information furnished in writing by or on behalf of any
Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other
Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by and when taken together with, other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information,
the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

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

     5.17 Taxpayer Identification Number. The Borrower’s true and correct U.S. taxpayer
identification number is set forth on Schedule 10.02.

     5.18 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess
the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent
rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP
Rights”) that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses,
without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no
slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now
employed, or

61

 

now contemplated to be employed, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary infringes upon any
rights held by any other Person. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 5.18, no
claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate (in each case, taking into
account the reasonable likelihood of an adverse determination), would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5.19 Foreign Assets Control Regulations and Anti-Money Laundering. Each Loan Party and each
Subsidiary of each Loan Party is and will remain in compliance in all material respects with all
U.S. economic sanctions laws, Executive Orders and implementing regulations as promulgated by the
U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and all applicable
anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act and all
regulations issued pursuant to it. No Loan Party and no Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party
(i) is a Person designated by the U.S. government on the list of the Specially Designated Nationals
and Blocked Persons (the “SDN List”) with which a U.S. Person
cannot deal with or otherwise engage in business transactions, (ii) is a Person who is
otherwise the target of U.S. economic sanctions laws such that a U.S. Person cannot deal or
otherwise engage in business transactions with such Person or (iii) is controlled by (including
without limitation by virtue of such Person being a director or owning voting shares or interests),
or acts, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of, any Person or entity on the SDN List or a
foreign government that is the target of U.S. economic sanctions prohibitions such that the entry
into, or performance under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be prohibited under
U.S. law.

ARTICLE VI. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than unasserted contingent indemnity
Obligations), or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, the Borrower shall, and shall

scope of such audit;

62

 

     (b) as soon as available, but in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first
three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended

the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail, certified by the chief executive officer, chief
financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Borrower as fairly presenting in all material

(b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to

clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC”

United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the
extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in
Section 10.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made
available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the
Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are

“Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no
obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

79

 

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

full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

80

 

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

ARTICLE IX. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

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

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

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

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

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

     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents,
have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to

81

 

or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity.

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

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

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

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

82

 

     9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

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

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

     9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the

83

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

     9.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted hereunder.

     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under
the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

     10.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom,
shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the
applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or
consent shall:

     (a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01(a) without the written consent of
each Lender;

     (b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated

of computation of any financial ratio (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in
determining the Applicable Rate that would result in a reduction of any interest rate on any Loan
or any fee payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary
to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay

alone);

and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights
or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of

in writing and signed by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other
than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be
increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or
modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects
any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
10.01, the Borrower may amend Schedule 5.13 from time to time upon notice to the
Administrative Agent.

     10.02 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

     (a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications

telecopier as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be
given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

     (i) if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number

Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain
material non-public information relating to the Borrower).

86

 

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified
or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other
communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not
given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the
opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other communications
delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below,
shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

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

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

     (c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR
THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE
BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR
FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its
Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that
in no event shall

87

 

any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or
any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages).

     (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. In
addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that
the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent
and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to
cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected
the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the
Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the
“Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or
state securities laws.

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

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

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained

88

 

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

     10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

     (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all

(including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer), and shall pay all documented fees and time charges for attorneys who may
be employees of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C 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 the 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) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related
Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges,
including allocated costs, and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee,
incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or

89

 

as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder
or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case
of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters
addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of
the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under
a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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 bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such
Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document, if the Borrower or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable
judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in 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,

90

 

electronic or other
information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

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

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

     10.06 Successors and Assigns.

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

91

 

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

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

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

     (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 $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents;
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) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this
clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of the Swing Line Lender’s rights
and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;

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

     (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 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 five (5) 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 if such assignment is to a

92

 

Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender;

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

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

     (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, 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 Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting
Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause
(B), or (C) to a natural person.

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and

93

 

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

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts and any stated interest of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each
Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, 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 and no transfer of an interest in any Loan or L/C Obligation shall be effective unless
and until recorded in the Register. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the
Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a
Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it) in an amount not
less than $10,000,000 (or, if such Lender’s total Commitment is less than $10,000,000, such lesser
amount); 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 L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

     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

94

 

Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first
proviso to Section 10.01 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 subsection (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

     Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower, maintain a register 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 L/C
Obligations (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person 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. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary and no sale of a participation in any Loan or L/C Obligation shall be effective unless
and until recorded in the Participant Register. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

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

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

     (g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30
days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice
to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from

95

 

among the Lenders a successor L/C 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 as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of
America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of
its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to
require the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it
shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing
Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the
right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in
outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a
successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in
substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make
other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of
America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of
this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee
invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c), or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty
(or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be

96

 

considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to
its own confidential information.

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

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

     10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for,
charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize

97

 

any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b)
exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of
the Obligations hereunder.

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

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

     10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in
good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable,
then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

     10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (w) any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or (x) if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or (y) if
any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) if any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment,
waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each

98

 

Lender and such amendment, waiver, consent or release has been approved by the Required
Lenders (so long as such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the
assignment contemplated by this Section (together with all other such assignments required by the
Borrowers to be made pursuant to this Section)), then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:

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

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

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

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

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

     10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

     (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF BOSTON AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
OF THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR
RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN SUCH MASSACHUSETTS STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

99

 

APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL
JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER
JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY
LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION.

     (c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF
AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

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

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

     10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i)
(A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on

100

 

the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax
advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating,
and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent and each Arranger
is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary
for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person, and (B) neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has
any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have
against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

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

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

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS

     Section [__]. Subordination Provisions

     (a) General. This [_________], including all principal, interest, fees, costs,
enforcement expense (including legal fees and disbursements), and any other reimbursement
and indemnity obligations created or evidenced by this [__________], or any prior,
concurrent or subsequent notes, instruments, or agreements of indebtedness, liabilities or
obligations of any type or form whatsoever relating thereto in favor of [the Payee]
(“Subordinated Debt”) and any and all documents or instruments evidencing,
guaranteeing or securing directly or indirectly any of the foregoing, whether now existing
or hereafter created (“Subordinated Documents”), shall be and hereby are
subordinated and the payment thereof is deferred until the full and final payment in cash of
the Senior Debt, whether now or hereafter incurred or owed by the Maker. Notwithstanding
the immediately preceding sentence, the Maker shall be permitted to pay, and [the Payee]
shall be permitted to receive, any regularly scheduled payment of interest on this
[_______], so long as at the time of such payment, such payment is permitted and no default
or event of default has occurred and is continuing, in each case under the terms and
provisions of any Senior Debt or would occur after giving effect thereto.

     (b) Enforcement. [The Payee] will not take or omit to take any action or
assert any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt or otherwise which is inconsistent
with the provisions of this Section [___]. Without limiting the foregoing, [the
Payee] will not assert, collect or enforce the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or take
any action to foreclose or realize upon the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or enforce
any of the Subordinated Documents except (i) in each such case as necessary, so long as no
default or event of default has occurred and is then continuing under the terms and
provisions of any Senior Debt or would occur after giving effect thereto, to collect any
sums expressly permitted to be paid by the Maker pursuant to Section [__](a) above
or (ii) to the extent (but only to such extent) that the commencement of a legal action may
be required to toll the running of any applicable statute of limitations. Until the Senior
Debt has been finally paid in full in cash, [the Payee] shall not have any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or indemnity whatsoever from any
assets of the Maker or any guarantor of or provider of collateral security for any Senior
Debt. [The Payee] further waives any and all rights with respect to marshalling.

     (c) Payments Held in Trust. [The Payee] will hold in trust and immediately pay
over to the holders of Senior Debt, in the same form of payment received, with appropriate
endorsements, for application to the Senior Debt, any cash (or cash equivalent) amount that
the Maker pays to [the Payee] with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or as collateral for
the Senior Debt any other assets of the Maker that [the Payee] may receive with respect to
Subordinated Debt, in each case except with respect to payments expressly permitted pursuant
to Section [__](a) above.

Form of Subordination Terms

G - 1

 

     (d) Defense to Enforcement. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of
this [______], shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding
against the Maker, then the Maker may interpose as a defense or plea the agreements in this
[_____], and any holder of Senior Debt may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in
its name or in the name of the Maker. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this
[________], shall attempt to collect any of the Subordinated Debt or enforce any of the
Subordinated Documents, then any holder of Senior Debt or the Maker may, by virtue of this
Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in the name of any holder of Senior Debt or in
the name of the Maker. If [the Payee], in contravention of the terms of this Agreement,
obtains any cash or other assets of the Maker as a result of any administrative, legal or
equitable actions, or otherwise, [the Payee] agrees forthwith to pay, deliver and assign to
the holders of Senior Debt, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash (or cash
equivalent) for application to the Senior Debt and any such other assets as collateral for
the Senior Debt.

     (e) Bankruptcy, Etc.

     (i) At any meeting of creditors of the Maker or in the event of any case or proceeding,
voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the
assets of the Maker or the proceeds thereof, whether such case or proceeding be for the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Maker or its business, a receivership, insolvency
or bankruptcy case or proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by
or against the Maker for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency law or any other law relating to the relief of debtors,
readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension or
marshalling of assets or otherwise, the holders of Senior Debt are hereby irrevocably authorized
at any such meeting or in any such proceeding to receive or collect any cash or other assets of
the Maker distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities
issued on account of any Subordinated Debt, and apply such cash to or hold such other assets or
securities as collateral for the Senior Debt, and to apply to the Senior Debt any cash proceeds
of any realization upon such other assets or securities that the holders of Senior Debt elect to
effect, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash.

     (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section[___](e)(i) above, [the
Payee] shall be entitled to receive and retain any securities of the Maker or any other
corporation or other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment provided
that: (x) the payment of such securities is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this
[__________] with respect to Subordinated Debt, to the payment of all Senior Debt under any such
plan of reorganization or readjustment, (y) the rights of the holders of the Senior Debt are
not, without the consent of such holders, altered or impaired by such arrangement,
reorganization or readjustment, and (z) all other terms of such arrangement, reorganization or
readjustment are acceptable to the holders of Senior Debt.

     (iii) [The Payee] undertakes and agrees for the benefit of each holder of Senior Debt to
execute, verify, deliver and file any proof of claim, consent, assignment or other instrument

Form of Subordination Terms

G - 2

 

which any holder of Senior Debt may at any time require in order to prove and realize upon
any right or claim pertaining to the Subordinated Debt and to effectuate the full benefit of the
subordination contained herein; and upon failure of [the Payee] so to do prior to 30 days before
the expiration any such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed irrevocably appointed the agent
and attorney-in-fact of [the Payee] to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proof of
claim, consent, assignment or other instrument.

     (iv) At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of any such case or proceeding, [the
Payee] shall not vote with respect to any plan of partial or complete liquidation,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension, or take any other action in any way so as
to contest (i) the validity of any Senior Debt or any collateral therefor or guaranties thereof,
(ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt established in any
instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of
such collateral or guaranties or (iii) [the Payee]‘s obligations and agreements set forth in
this [___________].

     (f) Freedom of Dealing. [The Payee] agrees that the Maker may, from time to
time and at any time, incur additional Senior Debt as it deems necessary, appropriate or
desirable in its sole discretion. [The Payee] agrees, with respect to any and all Senior
Debt and any and all collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, that the Maker and the
holders of Senior Debt may agree to increase the amount of any Senior Debt or otherwise
modify the terms of any Senior Debt, and the holders of Senior Debt may grant extensions of
the time of payment or performance to and make compromises, including releases of collateral
or guaranties, and settlements with the Maker and all other persons, in each case without
the consent of [the Payee] and without affecting the agreements of [the Payee] contained in
this [_______]; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Section [___](f) shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Maker itself to agree
to or consent to a settlement or compromise of a claim which any holder of Senior Debt may
have against the Maker.

     (g) Sale of Subordinated Debt. [The Payee] will not sell, transfer, pledge,
assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Subordinated Debt to any person other than a
person who agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to the Maker and the
holders of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of Senior Debt, to be bound
by all of the obligations of [the Payee] hereunder. In the case of any such disposition by
[the Payee], [the Payee] will use its best efforts to notify each holder of Senior Debt at
least 10 days prior to the date of any of such intended disposition.

     (h) Continuation of Subordination. To the extent that the Maker or any
guarantor of or provider of collateral for the Senior Debt makes any payment on the Senior
Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set
aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to
the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously
satisfied

Form of Subordination Terms

G - 3

 

by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect (and
continue to have the benefit of the subordination provisions hereof) as if such Voided
Payment had never been made. To the extent that [the Payee] has received any payments with
respect to Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of the initial receipt of such Voided
Payment by a holder of Senior Debt and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to
be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver,
or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause, [the Payee] shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or
received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the recipient of
the Voided Payment, and [the Payee] hereby agrees to pay to the recipient of the Voided
Payment, upon demand, the full amount so received by [the Payee] during such period of time
to the extent necessary fully to restore to the recipient of the Voided Payment the amount
of such Voided Payment.

     (i) Continuing Agreement; No modifications. The provisions of this Section
[__] constitute a continuing agreement and shall be binding upon the Maker and [the
Payee] and their successors and assigns. The Maker and [the Payee] hereby agree that the
holders of the Senior Debt are express third party beneficiaries of the provisions of this
Section [__] and enforceable by each such holder of Senior Debt and their
successors, transferees and assigns. The provisions of this Section [__] shall not
be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified without the prior written consent
of the holders of Senior Debt.

For purposes of these subordination provisions, Senior Debt would be defined as follows:

“Senior Debt” means (i) all “Obligations” under and as defined in that certain
[INSERT REFERENCE TO CREDIT AGREEMENT] (as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Credit Agreement”) and (ii) all
principal, interest, fees, costs, enforcement expenses (including legal fees and
disbursements), collateral protection expenses and other reimbursement or indemnity
obligations created or evidenced by the Senior Credit Agreement or any of the other “Loan
Documents” under and as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement or any prior, concurrent, or
subsequent notes, instruments or agreements of indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of
any type or form whatsoever relating thereto. Senior Debt shall expressly include any and
all interest accruing or out of pocket costs or expenses incurred after the date of any
filing by or against the maker of any petition under the federal bankruptcy code or any
other bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act regardless of whether the bank’s claim
therefor is allowed or allowable in the case or proceeding relating thereto.
