Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been
automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or
upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which
case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a
“Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all
Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before
giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph
of Section 11) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay
the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees
to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the
amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing
by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply

specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then

Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such
date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding
Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to

-59-

 

share in such Swingline Loans ratably
based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of
the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11), provided that
(x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender
until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the
extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and
after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is
actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the
principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the
Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such
participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest
rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day
thereafter.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01(a) or elsewhere in this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such amounts, and
with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem
necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base, including, without limitation, reserves with
respect to (i) sums that the Borrower is or will be required to pay (such as taxes, assessments,
insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such
leases) and have not yet paid (including, without limitation, a Rent Reserve against Eligible
Inventory included in the Borrowing Base) and (ii) amounts owing by the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over,
any of the Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent
is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens granted in
the Security Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers,
mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales,
or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the Collateral.
In addition to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to have the Borrower’s
and each Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Guarantor’s Inventory reappraised by a qualified appraisal company
selected by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.01(p) after the Initial Borrowing
Date for the purpose of re-determining the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of the Eligible Inventory,
and, as a result, re-determining the Borrowing Base.

          (e) In the event the Borrower is unable to comply with (i) the Borrowing Base limitations set
forth in Sections 2.01(a) or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans or the
issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 7, (x) the Lenders authorize the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, which, in each
case, may only be made as Base Rate Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period
commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Notice of Borrowing requesting an
Agent Advance until the earlier of (i) the twentieth Business Day after such date, (ii) the date
the Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions
precedent to the making of Revolving Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an
amendment or waiver with respect thereto or (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct the
Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance
Period”). The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such
time the amount of such Agent Advance, either (I) when

-60-

 

added to the aggregate outstanding amount of
all other Agent Advances made to the Borrower at such time, would exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base
at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (II) which are incurred as
Revolving Loans, when added to the Aggregate Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the
incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Commitment at such time. It is
understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and that the Borrower shall have no right to
require that any Agent Advances be made. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement
with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04.

          2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each
Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. More than one
Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than 15
Borrowings of Euro Rate Loans.

          2.03. Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x) Eurodollar
Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least
three Business Days’ prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred hereunder and (y) Base
Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory
Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one
Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that
(in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given
before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of
Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and
shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit
A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be
incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the relevant currency), (ii) the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such
Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder,
Euro Rate Loans and, if Euro Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and
(v) in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans the proceeds of which are to be utilized to
finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition (or to pay any fees and expenses incurred in
connection therewith), the amount of the Borrowing Availability after giving effect to such
Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make
Loans specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such
Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding
sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

          (b) (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall
give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that a Swingline
Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each
Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each
case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the aggregate principal amount
of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, and (C) in the case of a
Borrowing of Swingline Loans the proceeds of which are to be utilized to finance, in whole or in
part, a Permitted Acquisition (or to pay any fees and

-61-

 

expenses incurred in connection therewith),
the amount of the Borrowing Availability after giving effect to such Borrowing.

          (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(c), with the
Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the
Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(c).

          (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any
telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice
of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the
Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives
the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of
such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent
manifest error.

          2.04. Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of
Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on
the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no
later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(c)), each Lender
with a Revolving Loan Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro
rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested
to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make
available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars (in the
case of Dollar Denominated Loans), in Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Loans) or in Sterling
(in the case of Sterling Denominated Loans) and in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office, and the Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a
Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the
amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to
the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower,
as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date
such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to
(i) if recovered from such Lender, the

-62-

 

overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at
the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered
from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined
pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

          (b) Unless the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make Revolving
Loans to the Borrower that are maintained as Base Rate Loans under Section 2.01 without prior
notice of the proposed Borrowing to the Lenders as follows:

     (i) The amount of each Lender’s RL Percentage of Revolving Loans shall be computed
weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be
adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans as of
5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period
specified by the Administrative Agent (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). The Lenders
shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or
the Administrative Agent shall transfer to the Lenders such amounts as are necessary so that
(after giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of Revolving Loans made by each
Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of Revolving
Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of
any such necessary transfer is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York
time) on any Business Day, then such Lender shall make transfers described above in
immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such notice
was received; and if such notice is received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York time) on
any Business Day, such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York
time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to
transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to, or
without representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender agrees and the Lenders agree to mark their respective books and
records on each Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective
RL Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans on such date.

     (ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet
have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of
Revolving Loans by the Borrower prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply
such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

     (iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or
may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance
and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be
allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender and the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually

-63-

 

advanced by and repaid to each Lender
and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving
Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by
the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.04(b).

          2.05. Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on,
the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in
the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity
herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and
(ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

          (b) The Revolving Note issued to each Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be
payable to the order of such Lender (or an affiliate designated by such Lender) or its registered
assigns and be dated the Initial Borrowing Date (or, if issued thereafter, the date of issuance
thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the Revolving Loan
Commitment of such Lender on the date of issuance thereof (or, if issued after the termination of
such Revolving Loan Commitment, in an amount equal to the Exposure of the respective Lender),
provided that if, because of fluctuations in exchange rates after the date of issuance
thereof, the Revolving Note of any Lender would not be at least as great as the outstanding
principal amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of all Euro Denominated Loans and Sterling
Denominated Loans evidenced thereby) of the Revolving Loans made by such Lender at any time
outstanding, the respective Lender may request (and in such case the Borrower shall promptly
execute and deliver) a new Revolving Note in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount
(taking the Dollar Equivalent of all Euro Denominated Loans and Sterling Denominated Loans
evidenced thereby) of the Revolving Loans of such Lender outstanding on the date of the issuance of
such new Revolving Note, (iv) with respect to each Revolving Loan evidenced thereby, be payable in
the respective Available Currency in which such Revolving Loan was made, (v) mature on the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (vi) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clauses of Section
2.08 in respect of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (vii) be subject to
voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.01 and mandatory repayment as provided in Section
5.02 and (viii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

          (c) The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower,
(ii) be payable to the order of the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the
Initial Borrowing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount (expressed in Dollars) equal to the
Maximum Swingline Amount and be payable in Dollars in the principal amount of the outstanding
Swingline Loans evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v)
bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.08 in respect of the Base Rate
Loans evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as

-64-

 

provided in Section 5.01 and
mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

          (d) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each
payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the
reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make
any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of such Loans.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere
in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request
the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its
Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay
the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced
thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the
security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender
which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding
Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding
clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its
Loans, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note
in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

          2.06. Conversions. The Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day
beginning three Business Days following the Initial Borrowing Date, all or a portion equal to at
least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans (other than
Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to this Section 2.06) made pursuant to one or
more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan,
provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be
converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans
being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding
principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than
the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree,
Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in
existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06
shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section
2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at
the Notice Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (x) in the case of conversions
of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (y) in the case of
conversions of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a
“Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2,
appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings
pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Euro Rate Loans, the
Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each
Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

-65-

 

          2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement
shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan
Commitments, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders
pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender
shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder
and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder,
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

          2.08. Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i)
the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base
Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum
which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate,
each as in effect from time to time.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base
Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall,
during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable
Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate
for such Interest Period.

          (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of
each Euro Denominated Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity
thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during
each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as
in effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any
Mandatory Costs.

          (d) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of
each Sterling Denominated Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the maturity
thereof (whether by acceleration, prepayment or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during
each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as
in effect from time to time plus Sterling LIBOR for such Interest Period plus any
Mandatory Costs.

          (e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of (1)
in the case of overdue principal of, and interest or other overdue amounts owing with respect to,
Euro Denominated Loans, equal to 2% per annum in excess of the relevant Applicable Margin as in
effect from time to time plus Euro LIBOR for such successive periods not exceeding three
months as the Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable
to the amount not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, (2) in the case of overdue principal of,
and interest or other amounts owing with respect to, Sterling Denominated Loans, equal to 2% per
annum in excess of the Applicable Margin for Sterling Denominated Loans as in effect from time to
time plus Sterling LIBOR for such successive

-66-

 

periods not exceeding three months as the
Administrative Agent may determine from time to time in respect of amounts comparable to the amount
not paid plus any Mandatory Costs, and (3) for each other Loan, each Loan shall, in each
case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) the rate which is 2% in excess
of the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise
applicable to Base Rate Loans, and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other
Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of
the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained at Base Rate Loans from time to time.
Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

          (f) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each
Swingline Loan and Base Rate Loan, (x) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment
Date, (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate
Loans of any Tranche or Swingline Loans, and (z) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each Euro Rate Loan, (x) on the last
day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of
three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest
Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

          (g) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro
Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Euro Rate Loans and shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

          2.09. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Euro Rate
Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New
York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable
to such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the
right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Euro
Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three, six or,
to the extent approved by each Lender with Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments, any other
period, provided that (in each case):

     (i) all Euro Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same
Interest Period;

     (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Euro Rate Loan shall commence on the date of
Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base
Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Euro Rate Loan
shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto
expires;

     (iii) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no
numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such
Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

-67-

 

     (iv) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business
Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan
would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after
which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the
next preceding Business Day;

     (v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at
any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;

     (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends
beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; and

With respect to any Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing thereof, the Borrower, may elect to split the respective Borrowing into two or more
Borrowings of the same Type or combine two or more Borrowings of the same Type into a single
Borrowing, in each case, by having an Authorized Officer of the Borrower give notice thereof
together with its election of one or more Interest Periods, in each case so long as each resulting
Borrowing (x) has an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section
2.09, (y) has a principal amount which is not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to
Borrowings of the respective Type and Tranche, and (z) does not cause a violation of the
requirements of Section 2.02. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a
Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or are not permitted to elect, a
new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have elected (x) if Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate
Loans and (y) if Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such
Non-Dollar Denominated Loans, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such current
Interest Period.

          2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have
determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the
Administrative Agent):

     (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the
date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do
not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of Euro Rate; or

     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x)
any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation,
order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the
interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not
limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal
of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder

-68-

 

(except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or
net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or
applicable lending office is located) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but,
in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the
computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the
Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such Lender in
such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence);

     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made
unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or would conflict with any
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but
with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith
would not be unlawful), or impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the
Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market; or

     (iv) at any time that a Non-Dollar Currency is not available in sufficient amounts, as
determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, to fund any Borrowing of Non-Dollar
Denominated Loans requested pursuant to Section 2.01;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)
above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except
in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in
the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans
shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies Holdings, the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative
Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by
the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of
conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower and (B) in the event that any Non-Dollar
Denominated Loan is so affected, the relevant Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided
in the proviso to the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above,
the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts
(in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise
as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such
Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (with the
written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted to the Borrower by such
Lender in accordance with the foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final and conclusive and
binding on all the parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release
or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.10(a) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the
Borrower or shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and,
in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above,
Non-Dollar Denominated Loans denominated in the affected Non-Dollar Currency (exclusive of any such
Non-Dollar Denominated Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be

-69-

 

available until
such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that
the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any
Notice of Borrowing or notice pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) given by the Borrower with respect to
such Non-Dollar Denominated Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the
Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that if it gives notice to the
Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, it shall promptly
notify the Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event
ceases to exist.

          (b) At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section
2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is
then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving
the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the
Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three
Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan,
require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which
conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later
than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier
day as shall be required by applicable law) and (B) in the case of any Euro Rate Loan (other than a
Eurodollar Loan), repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Euro Rate Loans in
full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.01; provided that, (i) if
the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) apply to any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan, the
Borrower, may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Non-Dollar Denominated
Loan outstanding, in which case, (x) in the case of Euro Denominated Loans, the applicable Euro
Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR or
(y) in the case of Sterling Denominated Term Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on
the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling LIBOR, as the case may be, unless
the maintenance of such Non-Dollar Denominated Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the
conditions described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described
above, without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than
one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to
this Section 2.10(b).

          (c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change
in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request
(whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in
interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of
such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower
agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be
required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender
or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other
corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In

-70-

 

determining such additional amounts, each
Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which
are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s
determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining in
good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give
prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth such Lender’s basis for
asserting its rights under this Section 2.10(c) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such
additional amounts claimed hereunder, although the failure to give any such notice shall not
release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A Lender’s good faith determination of
compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding on all the parties hereto.

In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such
Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency,
supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by
any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or
regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding
office thereof) in respect of any Non-Dollar Denominated Loans or any category of liabilities which
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Non-Dollar Denominated Loan is
determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a
non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves
are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Non-Dollar Denominated
Loans or in Section 2.10(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify Holdings and the Borrower in
writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of
maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of
such additional amounts) and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such specified amounts as
additional interest at the time that the Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect
of such Non-Dollar Denominated Loan or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

          2.11. Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request
shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses,
expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to
fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:
(i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a
Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified
therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by
the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment
(including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result
of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar
Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii)
if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of
prepayment given by the

-71-

 

Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower
to repay Eurodollar
Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any
election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b). Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of compensation
owing pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for
requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) and a Lender’s calculation of the amount
thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

          2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such
Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of
Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that
such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the
object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section.
Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the
right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

          2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving
rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section
5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased
costs materially in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the
case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination
with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the
extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section
13.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such
replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible
Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement
(collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent with identical Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the
respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

     (a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement
Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section
13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the
Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among
the Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender)) pursuant to which the
Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding Loans
(or, in the case of the replacement of only the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving
Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit
Outstandings) of, and in each case all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced
Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof
an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued
interest on,
all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender with respect to which such Replaced

-72-

 

Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (unless there are no Unpaid
Drawings with respect to the Tranche being replaced) that have been funded by (and not
reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect
thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees
owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (y) each Issuing Lender an amount
equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of
Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing)
to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (z) in the
case of any replacement of Revolving Loan Commitments, the Swingline Lender an amount equal
to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount
was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

     (b) all obligations of the Borrower then due and owing to the Replaced Lender (other
than those (a) specifically described in clause (a) above in respect of which the assignment
purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any,
owing under Section 2.11 or (b) relating to any Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments of
the respective Replaced Lender which will remain outstanding after giving effect to the
respective replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such
replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this
Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to
execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such
Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement
Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution
of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the
Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement
Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have
outstanding a Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a
Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which
shall survive as to such Replaced Lender, the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically
adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

          2.14. Incremental Commitments. (a) So long as the Incremental Commitment Request Requirements are satisfied at the time
of the delivery of the request referred to below, the Borrower shall have the right, in
consultation and coordination with, Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below
in this Section 2.14, but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any
time and from time to time after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the date which is three
months prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or
more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders as provided
below) provide Incremental Commitments, it being understood and

-73-

 

agreed, however, that (i) no Lender
shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment as a result of any such request by the
Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide
an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental
Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender
shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans or participate in Swingline Loans or Letters of
Credit in excess of its Commitment as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental
Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender (including any Eligible
Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent
of any other Lender, (iii) each provision of Incremental Commitments on a given date pursuant to
this Section 2.14 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders (including any Eligible
Transferee who will become a lender)) of at least $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$5,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments provided
pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Commitment Amount.

          (b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees
to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and
deliver to Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of such
Incremental Lender’s Incremental Commitment to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental
Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all
fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been
paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to
Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are
satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied, and
(z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement
shall have been satisfied. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the
effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement, and at such time, (i) the Total Commitment
under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such
Incremental Commitments, (ii) Appendix A shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving
Loan Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iii) to the extent requested by any Incremental
Lender, Revolving Loan Notes will be issued, at the expense of the Borrower, to such Incremental
Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

          (c) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, the
Borrower shall, in coordination with Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of
certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including
the Incremental Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders
participate in each outstanding borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their
respective Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.14) and with the Borrower being obligated to pay to the respective
Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.10 in connection with any such repayment
and/or incurrence.

          SECTION 3. Letters of Credit.

          3.01. Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, a Borrower may request
that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing
Date and prior to the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of trade Letters of Credit
described in clause (y) below (each a “Trade Letter of Credit”)) prior to the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any
trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable
Obligations, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing
Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of
goods to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form
customarily used by such Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing
Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the
“Letters of Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, Euros or
Sterling and shall be issued on a sight basis only.

          (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees
that it will, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior
to the fifth Business Day (or the 30th day in the case of Trade Letter of Credit) prior to the
Revolving Loan Maturity Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request,
issue for account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit in support of such obligations as
are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of
Default, provided that no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter
of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

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

     (ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the respective Borrower, any other
Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice
of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

          (c) Part A of Schedule XIX hereto contains a description of certain letters of credit issued
and outstanding on the Initial Borrowing Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter
of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s)
of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount (including the

-75-

 

currency in which
such letter of credit is denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative Currency), (v) the
name of the beneficiary, (vi) the expiry date and (vii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a
standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit, including any
extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms
thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit”
for all purposes of this Agreement and issued, for purposes of Section 3.04(a), on the Initial
Borrowing Date. Any Lender hereunder (and any of such Lender’s Affiliates and/or branches) which
has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an “Issuing Lender” for all purposes of
this Agreement.

          3.02. Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of
Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings
(exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the
respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (x) $100,000,000, (y) when added to
the sum of (I) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and (II) the
aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total
Commitment at such time or (z) cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such
time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall
by its terms terminate (x) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of
(A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such
standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each
case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms
acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and (B) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date; provided that a standby Letter of Credit issued to support obligations under any
Specified Existing Ship Lease may terminate by its terms on or prior to the earlier to occur of (1)
the date which occurs 24 months after the date of the issuance thereof and (2) the fifth Business
Day preceding the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and (y) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, on
or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and
(B) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Euro Denominated Letter of Credit shall be issued
the Stated Amount of which when added to the Euro Denominated Obligations (exclusive of Unpaid
Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of
Credit) would exceed the Maximum Euro Denominated Loan Amount and (ii) no Sterling Denominated
Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which when added to the Sterling Denominated
Obligations (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the
issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) would exceed the Maximum Sterling Denominated Loan
Amount.

          3.03. Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount . (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least three
Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice
thereof (including by way of facsimile) including without limitation by specifying the Available
Currency such Letter of

-76-

 

Credit is to be denominated. Each notice shall be in the form of
Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

          (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by the Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance
with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender
has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it
issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not
then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such
Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested
Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and
customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of
Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in
writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy
of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be.
Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in
writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each
Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile)
report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender
for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists with respect to a Lender, no Issuing Lender
shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into
arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with
respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by
cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit
Outstandings.

          (c) The Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit upon issuance shall be not less than (x) in the
case of a Dollar Denominated Letter of Credit, $250,000, (y) in the case of a Euro Denominated
Letter of Credit, €150,000 and (z) in the case of a Sterling Denominated Letter of Credit,
£150,000, or in each case such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the respective Issuing
Lender.

          3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such
Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender
(in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and
unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL
Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor
or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL
Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with
respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be
an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to

-77-

 

this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL
Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any
obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be
delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to
substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action
taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit
issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any
other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be
taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          (c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by
it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant
to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall
promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such
unreimbursed payment in the currency of the respective Unpaid Drawing and in same day funds. If
the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day,
any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make
available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars or such other currency, as applicable, such
Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds.
If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of
such payment available to respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing
Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such
date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate
(or in the case of amounts owed in Euros, at the Overnight Euro Rate) for the first three days and
at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each
day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL
Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not
relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender
its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified
above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make
available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

          (d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it
has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender
shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars (or in
Euros or Sterling in the case of payments to be made in Euros or Sterling pursuant to Section
3.04(c)) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the
proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such

          (e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant
copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably
be requested by such Participant.

          (f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect
to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception
whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under
all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

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

     (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Holdings or any
of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit,
any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be
acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein
or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Holdings or any
Subsidiary of Holdings and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

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

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

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

          3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or
disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount,
so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), by making payment in
Dollars (in the case of all Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit), Euros (in the case of Euro
Denominated Letters of Credit) or Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit)
not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or
disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the
Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice
of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the
amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00
P.M. (New York

          
-79-

 

City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date
paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower
therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the
Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base
Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior
to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following notice to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, interest
shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until
reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of
Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit, Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit, the Base Rate in
effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans in each case
maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case
of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit, the Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time
plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time
plus any Mandatory Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on
demand, provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however, that the
notices referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso shall not be
required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred
and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit
Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso on and after the third
Business Day following the respective Drawing). The respective Issuing Lender shall give the
Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the
failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish
the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender
with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued
by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment which Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings may have or have had against any
Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without
limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform
to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of
the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender
under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful
misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any
applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant
with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or
not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any

-80-

 

reserve,
deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing
Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any
Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter
of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or
any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or
reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in
the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Issuing
Lender or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in
which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or
therein), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any
Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender
or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender
or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or
such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the
rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any
additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written
notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower
by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such
Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

          SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

          4.01. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each
Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period
from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such
earlier date on which the Total Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal
to the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of
such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be
due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the
Total Commitment is terminated.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender
(based on each such Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit
(the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit,
computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during
such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as
Eurodollar Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of
Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the
first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit
remain outstanding.

-81-

 

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in
respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and
including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or
expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily
Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that in any event the minimum amount of
Facing Fees payable in any twelve-month period for each Letter of Credit shall be not less
than $500, it being agreed that, on the day of issuance of any Letter of Credit and on each
anniversary thereof prior to the termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, if $500 will
exceed the amount of Facing Fees that will accrue with respect to such Letter of Credit for the
immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance
of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the
termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

          (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment
under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the
time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing
Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

          (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in
writing from time to time by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent.

          4.02. Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at
the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the
Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or
penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part,
pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in the case of partial
reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment, provided that each such
reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each
Lender.

          (b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower shall have the
right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b),
upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office
(which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to
terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with
accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all
amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11 are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of
such termination (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed

-82-

 

amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash
collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing
Lenders, and at such time, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this
Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to
such repaid Lender.

          4.03. Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Total Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall
terminate in its entirety on April 30, 2006, unless the Initial Borrowing Date has occurred on or
prior to such date.

          (b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03,
the Total Commitment shall terminate in its entirety upon the earlier of (i) the Revolving Loan
Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, the date on which a
Change of Control occurs.

          (c) Each reduction to, or termination of, the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.03
shall be applied to proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Revolving Loan
Commitment of each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment.

          SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

          5.01. Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in
whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at the Notice

confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans (or same day notice in the case of a
prepayment of Swingline Loans) and (y) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Euro Rate Loans, which
notice (in each case) shall specify whether Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid,
the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Euro Rate
Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Euro Rate Loans were made, and
which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans,
promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) (x) each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $5,000,000
(or such lesser amount as is

pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000
(or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case),
provided that if any partial prepayment of Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing
shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to
an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing
may not be continued as a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans (and same shall automatically be converted
into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto
given by the Borrower or Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to
this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied
pro

-83-

 

rata among such Loans, provided that at the Borrower’s election in
connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such prepayment
shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan
of a Defaulting Lender;

          (b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes,
waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the
Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, upon three
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such
Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11), together with accrued and
unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender in accordance with, and
subject to the requirements of, said Section 13.12(b), so long as (A) in the case of the repayment
of Revolving Loans of any Lender pursuant to this clause (b), (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of
such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which
time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (y)
such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (B) the consents,
if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b)
shall have been obtained.

          5.02. Mandatory Repayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) (i) On any day on which the (other than during an Agent Advance Period) Aggregate
Exposure exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base at
such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the Borrower shall prepay on
such day the principal of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full
or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If,
after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the
aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total
Commitment at such time, and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base
Certificate (as delivered)), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment
Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up
to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash
Equivalents to be
held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders
hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) On any day on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
all Euro Denominated Obligations exceeds the Maximum Euro Denominated Loan Amount, the Borrower
shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Euro Denominated Loans in an amount (taking
the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts paid in the respective currency in which payments on such Euro
Denominated Loans are owing) equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of
all outstanding Euro Denominated Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings
of Euro Letters of Credit exceeds the Maximum Euro Denominated Loan Amount, the Borrower shall pay
to the

-84-

 

Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash
Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of
Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all
Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral
account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

          (iii) On any day on which the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of all Sterling Denominated Loans exceeds the Maximum Sterling Denominated Loan Amount, the
Borrower shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Sterling Denominated Loans in an
amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amounts paid in the respective currency in which
payments on such Sterling Denominated Loans are owing) equal to such excess. If, after giving
effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Sterling Denominated Loans, the aggregate amount of the
Letter of Credit Outstandings of Sterling Letters of Credit exceeds the Maximum Sterling
Denominated Loan Amount, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office
on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a
maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash
Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and
the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent.

          (b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date
upon which Holdings or any of the its Subsidiaries receives Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale
(other than the California Disposition, to the extent the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom received by a
Subsidiary of the Borrower (exclusive of any portion thereof which is distributed to a minority
shareholder of such Subsidiary in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.06) are promptly
on-loaned to an Affiliate of the Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.05 and
10.07), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be applied as a
mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.02(f); provided that (I) Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than (w) Net Sale
Proceeds from any Contemplated Asset Sale consummated in accordance with the requirements of
Section 10.02(xviii), (x) any Net Sale Proceeds from the sale of any Principal Property pursuant to
Section 10.02(xix), (y) Net Sale Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Equity
Interests of the Unrestricted Wellbeing Joint Venture pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and
(z) Net Sale Proceeds in excess of $100,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year of the Borrower
received from Asset Sales made in reliance on Section 10.02(v)) shall not give rise to a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment
reduction on such date as otherwise required above, so long as no Specified Default and no
Event of Default exists at the time such Net Sale Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer
of Holdings or the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to
such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed to be used)
to purchase capital assets used or to be used in a Permitted Business (other than inventory) within
360 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale (which
certificate shall set forth (in reasonable detail) the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended)
and (II) Net Sale Proceeds from one (but not more than one) sale of a Principal Property
consummated after the Effective Date in reliance on Section 10.02(xix) and notified in writing to
the Administrative Agent shall not give rise to a mandatory repayment and/or

-85-

 

commitment reduction
on such date as otherwise required above, so long as no Specified Default and no Event of Default
exists at the time such Net Sale Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer of Holdings or the
Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating
that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed to be used) to purchase,
construct and/or make investments in a new Principal Property (or assets and properties that upon
completion of such purchase, construction and/or investments will become a Principal Property)
within 360 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds from such sale of such
Principal Property (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so
expended); provided, however, that (I) if all or any portion of such Net Sale
Proceeds are not so used within such 360-day period (or contractually committed within such period
to be used), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory
repayment as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso) and (II)
if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not required to be applied on the last day of
such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually
committed within such period to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such date such contract
is terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such contractually committed
portion is not so used within six months after the last day of such 360-day period referred to in
clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining portion, in the case of either of the preceding clauses
(A) or (B), shall be applied as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving effect to
the immediately preceding proviso). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 5.02(b), (x) if any Permitted Senior Notes Document (after the execution and delivery
thereof), any Permitted Refinancing Senior Notes Document (after the execution and delivery
thereof), the Intermediate Holdings Credit Documents or the Existing Senior Notes Documents permit
a lesser amount to be retained or reinvested, or have a shorter reinvestment period, than is
provided above with respect to any Asset Sales, then such lesser permitted retained or reinvestment
amount, and/or shorter reinvestment period, as the case may be, shall be applicable for purposes of
this Section 5.02(b) so long as such Permitted Senior Notes, Permitted Refinancing Senior Notes,
Intermediate Holdco Indebtedness or Existing Senior Notes, as the case may be, remain outstanding,
and (y) in no event shall Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries use any proceeds from any Asset Sale
to make any voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment of Permitted Senior Notes, Permitted
Refinancing Senior Notes, Holdings Senior Notes, Intermediate Holdco Indebtedness or Existing
Senior Notes and, before any such obligation to use such proceeds to make such repayment shall
arise, Holdings or the respective Subsidiary shall reinvest the respective amounts as permitted
above in this Section 5.02(b) or apply such proceeds as a mandatory prepayment in accordance with
requirements of Section 5.02(f).

          (c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date
on or after the Initial Borrowing Date on which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries receives any
cash proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness which is not permitted to be incurred by this
Agreement, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of
Indebtedness shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of
Section 5.02(f).

-86-

 

          (d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, within 10
days following each date on or after the Initial Borrowing Date on which Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than proceeds from Recovery
Events in an amount less than $5,000,000 per Recovery Event), an amount equal to 100% of the
proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs (including, without limitation, legal
costs and expenses) and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event and the amount of
such proceeds required to be used to repay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness of the Lenders
pursuant to this Agreement) which is secured by the respective assets subject to such Recovery
Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the
requirements of Section 5.02(f); provided that so long as no Specified Default and no Event
of Default then exists, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the
extent that an Authorized Officer of Holdings or the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds shall be used (or
contractually committed to be used) within 360 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds
from such Recovery Event to replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such
proceeds were paid (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so
expended), and provided further, that (I) if all or any portion of such proceeds
are not so used (or contractually committed to be used) within such 360-day period, such remaining
portion shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above
(without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such
proceeds are not required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred to in
clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed to be used and then
either (A) subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion
being so used or (B) such contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after
the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining
portion, in the case of either of the preceding clauses (A) or (B), shall be applied as a mandatory
repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately
preceding proviso).

          (e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each
Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder (if positive) of (x) the Applicable
Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period
minus (y) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Term Loans (and Original Loans to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such repayments were made with internally generated funds
as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Term Credit Agreement (or the Original
Credit Agreement, as applicable) during the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period, shall be
applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction in accordance with the requirements of
Section 5.02(f).

          (f) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (c), (d), and (e) in
accordance with this Section 5.02(f) shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Term
Loans under the Term Credit Agreement to the extent required thereunder, second, to cash
collateralize the Pre-Funded L/Cs, third to repay Swingline Loans, and fourth to
repay Revolving Loans in each case without any reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment.

-87-

 

          (g) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may
designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of
Euro Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which
such Eurodollar Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of Euro Rate Loans pursuant
to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
unless all Euro Rate Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of
required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii)
if any repayment of Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the
outstanding Euro Rate Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the
Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing
shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the
Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the
above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

          (h) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then
outstanding Loans of a respective Tranche shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date
for such Tranche of Loans, and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing, all
then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

          (i) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, each
Swingline Loan will be repaid (for the avoidance of doubt, such repayment may be made with proceeds
from Revolving Loans) no later than the seventh day following the incurrence thereof;
provided that, if the seventh day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day.

          5.03. Method and Place of Payment; Payments and Computations; Maintenance of Accounts;

Agent in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement except as otherwise
provided in the immediately following clauses (y) and (z), (y) Euros in immediately available funds

interest on Sterling Denominated Loans. Nothing in the succeeding clauses of this Section 5.03
shall affect or alter the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with respect to all payments
otherwise required to be made by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be

          (b) Each of the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall, along with the Collateral Agent
and certain financial institutions selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative
Agent (the “Collection Banks”), enter into on or prior to the Effective Date (or such later
date as provided in Section 13.19) and thereafter maintain separate Cash Management Control
Agreements. The Borrower and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries shall instruct all Account Debtors
of the Borrower and such Domestic Subsidiaries to remit all payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes”
or “Lockbox Addresses” of the applicable Collection Bank with respect to all Accounts of such
Account Debtor, which remittances shall be collected by the applicable Collection Bank and
deposited in the applicable Collection Account. All amounts received by the Borrower, any of its
Domestic Subsidiaries and any Collection Bank in respect of any Account, in addition to all other
cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt be deposited into a Collection Account or
directly into the Core Concentration Account.

          (c) The Borrower and its respective Domestic Subsidiaries shall, along with the Collateral
Agent and each of those banks in which the Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts
but including all Collection Accounts and the Core Concentration Account) are maintained, enter
into on or prior to the Effective Date (or such later date as provided in Section 13.19) and
thereafter maintain separate Cash Management Control Agreements.

          (d) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Cash Management Control
Agreements, all collected amounts held in all of the Collection Accounts, with respect to the
Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall be wired by the close of business on each Business Day
into an account (the “Core Concentration Account”). Except as, and to the extent, all of
the Collection Accounts shall be “zero” balance accounts. So long as no Event of Default or
Compliance Period then exists, the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries shall be permitted to
transfer cash from the Core Concentration Account to the Excluded Deposit Accounts to be used for
working capital and general corporate purposes, all subject to the requirements of this Section
5.03(d) and pursuant to procedures and arrangements to be determined by the Administrative Agent.
If an Event of Default or Compliance Period exists, all collected amounts held in the Core
Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in Section 5.03(e).

          (e) During the continuance of a Compliance Period, all collected amounts held in the Core
Concentration Account shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis in the following order (in
each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or
outstanding as described below and any applications otherwise described in following clauses (x)
and (y), and after giving effect to the application of any such amounts (x) otherwise required to
be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) or (y) constituting proceeds
from any Collateral otherwise required to be applied pursuant to the terms
of the respective Security Document): (1) first, to the payment (on a ratable basis)
of any outstanding Expenses actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent and/or the
Collateral Agent under any of the Credit Documents and to repay or prepay outstanding Swingline
Loans and Revolving Loans advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to
Sections 2.01(e) and 2.04(b); (2) second, to the extent all amounts referred to in
preceding clause (1) have been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding Expenses
actually due and

-89-

 

payable to each Issuing Lender under any of the Credit Documents and to repay all
outstanding Unpaid Drawings and all interest thereon; (3) third, to the extent all amounts
referred to in preceding clauses (1) and (2) have been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis)
all accrued and unpaid interest actually due and payable on the Revolving Loans and all accrued and
unpaid Fees actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the
Lenders under any of the Credit Documents; (4) fourth, to the extent all amounts referred
to in preceding clauses (1) through (3), inclusive, have been paid in full, to repay (on a ratable
basis) the outstanding principal of Revolving Loans (whether or not then due and payable), and (5)
fifth, to the extent all amounts referred to in preceding clauses (1) through (4),
inclusive, have been paid in full, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding Obligations
then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under any of
the Credit Documents.

          (f) Without limiting the provisions set forth in Section 13.15, the Administrative Agent shall
maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (collectively, the “Credit
Account”) in which the Borrower will be charged with all loans and advances made by the Lenders
to the Borrower for the Borrower’s account, including the Loans, the Letter of Credit Outstandings,
and the Fees, Expenses and any other Obligations relating thereto. The Borrower will be credited,
in accordance with this Section 5.03, with all amounts received by the Lenders from the Borrower or
from others for its account, including, as set forth above, all amounts received by the
Administrative Agent and applied to the Obligations. In no event shall prior recourse to any
Accounts or other Collateral be a prerequisite to the Administrative Agent’s right to demand
payment of any Obligation upon its maturity. Further, the Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation whatsoever to perform in any respect any of the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’
contracts or obligations relating to the Accounts.

          (g) After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall send the Borrower and each
Lender a statement accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring
among and between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower
during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and the Lenders.

          5.04. Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder and under any Note will be made without
setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments
will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or
hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political sub-division or taxing authority thereof
or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second
succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender
pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in
which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any
subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to
such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to
collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to
pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every
payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note,

-90-

 

after withholding or deduction
for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in
such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes
imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the
jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable
lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing
authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal
office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as
such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such
amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of
any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will
furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due
pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the
Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such
Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such
Lender.

          (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an
assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 13.04(b)
(unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment
or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with
respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such
Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an
income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii)
Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form)
certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any
Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a
lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate
in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two
new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form
W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any
income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a
Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or
reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any
Note, or such Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its
inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be

-91-

 

required
to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a), but subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately
succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by
law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable
hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that
such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a
complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated
pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or
similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the
Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section
5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii)
above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such
taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere
in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the Borrower agrees to pay any
additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without
regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of
any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a
result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to
the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

          SECTION 6. Conditions Precedent to Credit Events on the Initial Borrowing Date. The obligation of each Lender to make Loans, and the obligation of each Issuing Lender to

fact, condition or event shall be deemed not to be aware of any such fact, condition or event on
the Initial Borrowing Date. Upon the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the
conditions specified in this Section 6 have been met (after giving effect to the preceding
sentence), then the Initial Borrowing Date shall have been deemed to have occurred, regardless of
any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions thereto had not been met (although
the occurrence of the Initial Borrowing Date shall not release Holdings or the Borrower from any
liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions contained in this Section

incurrence of the respective such Revolving Loan and/or Swingline Loan for a permitted purpose
under this Agreement other than an investment in Cash Equivalents)) shall not exceed $25,000,000

exist no Default or Event of Default and (ii) all representations and warranties contained herein
and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same
effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the date of such Credit Event
(it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as
of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of
such specified date).

          7.03. Notice of Borrowing; Letter of Credit Request. (a) Prior to the making of each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan or a Revolving Loan made

Credit), the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender shall have received a Letter of

warranty by each Credit Agreement Party to the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to Credit
Events on the Initial Borrowing Date) and in this Section 7 (with respect to Credit Events on or
after the Initial Borrowing Date) and applicable to such Credit Event are satisfied as of that
time. All of the Notes, certificates, legal opinions and other documents and papers referred to in
Section 6 and in this Section 7, unless otherwise specified, shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office for the account of each of the Lenders and, except for
the Notes, in sufficient counterparts or copies for each of the Lenders and shall be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

          SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

each case after giving effect to the Transaction, all of which shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans and the issuance (or deemed issuance) of the
Letters of Credit a (with the occurrence of the Effective Date and each Credit Event on or after
the Effective Date being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters
specified in this Section 8 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Effective Date and on and as of the date of each such Credit Event, unless stated to relate to a
specific earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct
in all material respects as of such earlier date):

to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable
principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

          8.03. No Violation. (a) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary
thereof of the Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by any Credit Party or any such
Subsidiary with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein or therein, (i) will contravene any material provision of any applicable law,
statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
instrumentality, (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of, any of the
terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or (other than

create or impose) any Lien upon any of the material property or assets of Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
credit agreement or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its

-102-

 

material property or assets are
bound or to which it may be subject (including, without limitation, the Existing Senior Notes
Documents, the Intermediate Holdco Senior Notes Indenture, the other Existing Indebtedness
Agreements, and, on and after the execution and delivery thereof, the Holdings Senior Notes
Indenture, any Wellbeing Project Financing Document, any Permitted Senior Notes Indenture and any

of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of
limited liability company, limited liability company agreement or equivalent organizational
document, as the case may be, of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in Section 8.03(a):

     (i) this Agreement, together with the Term Credit Agreement, constitute (individually
and collectively) the “Credit Agreement” under, and as defined in, each Existing Senior
Notes Indenture;

     (ii) the incurrence by the Borrower of the Loans and other Indebtedness hereunder under

provision thereof, (II) Section 4.9 of the Existing 2010 Senior Notes Indenture or any other
provision thereof, (III) Section 4.9 of the Existing 2011 Senior Notes Indenture or any
other provision thereof, or (IV) Section 1014 of the Existing 2013 Senior Notes Indenture or
any other provision thereof and, without limiting the foregoing, on the Initial Borrowing
Date, neither the incurrence of any Loans to be incurred on such date, nor the incurrence of
Indebtedness in the full amount of the commitments available under the Term Credit Agreement
and pursuant to the Total Credit-Linked Commitment (as if, in each case, such commitments
were fully utilized on such date), would violate any of the sections specifically set forth
above (or any other provision) of the Existing Senior Notes Indentures;

     (iii) on the Initial Borrowing Date, (x) all Subsidiary Guarantors and (y) all
Borrowers (as defined in, and pursuant to, the Term Credit Agreement), are “Restricted
Subsidiaries” under, and as defined in, each Existing Senior Notes Indenture and have
executed and delivered guaranties in accordance with the requirements of the respective
Existing Senior Notes Indentures; and

     (iv) for the purpose of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” under, and as
defined in, each Existing Senior Notes Indenture, on the Initial Borrowing Date no repayment
of term loans and/or permanent commitment reductions in the revolving credit portion of the
Credit Agreement (as defined therein) has theretofore occurred (whether prior to, or on, the
Initial Borrowing Date) which has resulted in any reduction to the maximum aggregate amount
of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to, or under, the Credit Agreement (as
defined therein) in accordance with the applicable Existing Senior Notes Indenture.

          8.04. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of
any Senior Officer, threatened (i) with respect to any Credit

-103-

 

Document, (ii) with respect to the Transaction or any other Document or (iii) that have had, or could reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Additionally, there does not exist
any judgment, order or injunction prohibiting or imposing material adverse conditions upon the
occurrence of any Credit Event.

          8.05. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall be used for the Borrower’s
and its Subsidiaries’ ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes
(including (x) to effect Permitted Acquisitions (to the extent permitted by this Agreement) and (y)
to (i) make intercompany loans to Intermediate Holdco pursuant to Section 10.05(xxi) to be utilized

immediately succeeding proviso).

          (b) At the time of each Credit Event occurring on or after the Effective Date, the aggregate
value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (for
such purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by Holdings or such Subsidiary for the
respective shares of Margin Stock) does not exceed $10,000,000. In addition, at the time of each
Credit Event occurring on or after the Effective Date, the value of the Margin Stock at any time
owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries does not exceed 25% of the value of the assets of Holdings
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds
thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the
provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

          8.06. Governmental Approvals. Except as may have been obtained or made on or prior to the Effective Date (and which
remain in full force and effect on the Effective Date), no order, consent, approval, license,

Document.

as amended.

          8.08. True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or
on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender (including,
without limitation, all information contained in the Documents) for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement, the other Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and
all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any
such Persons in writing to any Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material
respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by
omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not
misleading in any material

-104-

 

respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such
information was provided, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 8.08,
such factual information shall not include the Projections or any projected financial information
contained in any financial projections delivered pursuant to Section 9.01.

          8.09. Financial Condition; Financial Statements. (a) On and as of the Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) incurred, and to be
incurred, and Liens created, and to be created, by each Credit Party in connection therewith, with
respect to the Borrower (on a stand-alone basis), Holdings and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated
basis) and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) (x) the sum of the assets,
at a fair valuation, of the Borrower (on a stand-alone basis), Holdings and its Subsidiaries (on a
consolidated basis) and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed its
or their debts, (y) it has or they have not incurred nor intended to, nor believes or believe that
it or they will, incur debts beyond its or their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature and
(z) it or they will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its or their business. For
purposes of this Section 8.09(a), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i)
right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated,
fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured
or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a
payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed,
contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of
contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all facts
and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to
become an actual or matured liability.

          (b) (i) The audited consolidated statements of financial condition of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries at December 28, 2002, January 3, 2004 and January 1, 2005 and the related
consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years of the Borrower ended on such
dates, in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the respective periods
covered thereby and (ii) the Pro Forma Financial Statements present a good faith
estimate of the consolidated pro forma financial condition of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and the pro forma results of operations of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries for the respective periods covered thereby (after giving effect to the
Transaction at the date thereof or for the period covered thereby). All of the financial
statements referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said
financial statements.

          (c) Since December 31, 2005 (but after giving effect to the Transaction as if same had
occurred immediately prior thereto), nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

-105-

 

          (d) Except as fully reflected in the financial statements described in Section 8.10(b) and as
otherwise permitted by Section 10.04, (i) there were as of the Effective Date (and after giving
effect to any Loans made on such date), no liabilities or obligations with respect to Holdings or
any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably
be expected to be material to Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (ii) no Credit
Agreement Party knows of any basis for the assertion against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of
any such liability or obligation which, either individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) The Projections have been prepared on a basis consistent with the financial statements
referred to in Section 8.9(b) and are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the
management of Holdings, and on the Effective Date, the Borrower believe that the Projections are
reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections of future
events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered
by any such Projections may differ from the projected results contained therein. There is no fact
known to any Credit Agreement Party or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, or could reasonably
be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been disclosed herein or in such
other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Lenders for use in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby.

          8.10. Security Interests. On and after the Effective Date, each of the Security Documents creates (or after the
execution and delivery thereof will create), as security for the Obligations covered thereby, a
valid and enforceable perfected security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject
thereto, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other
Liens (except that, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the Security
Agreement Collateral may be subject to Permitted Liens, (ii) the Pledge Agreement Collateral may be
subject to the Liens described in clauses (i) and (v) of Section 10.03 and clause (y) of Section
10.03(iii) and (iii) the security interest and mortgage lien created on any Mortgaged Property may
be subject to the Permitted Encumbrances related thereto), in favor of the Collateral Agent (or
such other trustee or sub-agent as may be required or desired under local law). No filings or
recordings are required in order to perfect and/or render enforceable as against third parties the
security interests created under any Security Document except for filings or recordings required in
connection with any such Security Document which shall have been made on or prior to the Effective Date or on or prior to the execution and delivery thereof as
contemplated by Sections 9.11, 9.14 and 10.12.

          8.11. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Schedule VI sets forth, as of the Effective Date, each Plan and each Multiemployer
Plan. Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in compliance in all
respects with its terms and in all respects with all applicable laws, including, without
limitation, ERISA and the Code and in compliance with the following, except to the extent that any
such noncompliances, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse
Effect; each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the

have not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Within 5 Business Days after each Credit Agreement Party is required by applicable law,

Environmental Laws), each Credit Agreement Party agrees to undertake, and/or to cause any of its
Subsidiaries, tenants or occupants to undertake, at their sole expense, any clean up, removal,
remedial or other action required pursuant to Environmental Laws to remove and clean up any

and could not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) At the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, which request
shall specify in reasonable detail the basis therefor (which may not simply be a desire for
periodic review), at any time and from time to time, the Credit Agreement Parties will provide, at
their sole cost and expense, an environmental site assessment report concerning any Real Property
now or hereafter owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, prepared by an
environmental consulting firm reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, addressing the
matters which gave rise to such request and estimating the potential costs of any removal, remedial

the same, and the Credit Agreement Parties shall grant and hereby do grant, to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and their agents, access to such Real Property and specifically grant the

proviso to preceding clause (d), to the extent applicable), (x) grant security interests in such of
their Property (other than Excluded Collateral) as may be requested by the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders, as the case may be, in which perfected security interests do not already
exist pursuant to the Security Documents theretofore executed and delivered and, in connection therewith, the Credit Agreement Parties shall, or
shall cause the relevant Subsidiaries of Holdings which are Credit Parties to, execute and deliver
counterparts of (and thereby become parties to) the applicable Security Documents and/or Additional
Security Documents, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and/or (y) with respect to pledges of Equity Interests of, or promissory

-125-

 

notes issued by, Persons described in Section 13.17, take such action (including, without
limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of filings, etc.)
under the local law of the Person whose Equity Interests or promissory notes are pledged as may be
requested in order to create, preserve, protect or perfect security interests in such Equity
Interests and/or promissory notes.

          (f) The security interests required to be granted pursuant to Sections 9.11(c), (d) and (e)
shall be granted pursuant to the respective Security Documents already executed and delivered by
the Credit Parties (or other security documentation substantially similar to such Security
Documents or otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent) and
shall constitute valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interests prior to the
rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens). The Credit
Agreement Parties shall (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries), (i) at their own expense,
to (x) execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of,
and thereafter register, file or record in any appropriate governmental office, any document or
instrument reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation,
perfection, maintenance, preservation and protection of the Liens on its assets intended to be
created pursuant to the relevant Security Documents and (y) take all other actions reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, the furnishing of legal opinions)
in connection with the granting of the security interests required pursuant to Sections 9.11(c),
(d) and (e) and (ii) pay in full all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection with the
granting of the security interests required pursuant to Sections 9.11(c), (d) and (e).

          (g) Each Credit Agreement Party agrees that each action required above by Section 9.11(a) or
(b) shall be completed as soon as possible, but in no event later than 90 days (or, in the case of
actions relating to assets located outside the United States, such greater number of days (not to
exceed 120 days) as the Administrative Agent shall agree to in its sole and absolute discretion in
any given case) after such action is requested to be taken by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders. Each Credit Agreement Party further agrees that (x) each action required above
by Section 9.11(c), (d) and (f) with respect to a newly formed, created or acquired Domestic
Subsidiary, shall be completed contemporaneously with the formation, creation or acquisition of
such Domestic Subsidiary, (provided that (x) the Credit Documents required to be executed
and delivered pursuant to Section 9.11(c) by such newly formed, created or acquired Domestic
Subsidiary shall not be required to be so executed and delivered until 45 days after the formation,
creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, (y) in the case of a Shell Corporation formed, created
or established by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such actions shall not be required to be
taken (so long as same remains a Shell Corporation) until 60 days after the formation, creation or
establishment of such Shell Corporation and (z) all actions required to be taken pursuant to the
last sentence of Section 9.11(c) and Section 9.11(e) shall be taken as promptly as practicable, and
in any event within 45 days, after Holdings or the Borrower receives the respective request from the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clauses (c) through (g) above, to
the extent the taking of any action as described above by a new Subsidiary acquired

-126-

 

pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition, which is subject to Permitted Acquired Debt which at such
time remains in existence as permitted by Section 10.04(b)(vi), then to the extent that the terms
of the respective Permitted Acquired Debt prohibit the taking of any actions which would otherwise
be required of such Subsidiary by this Section 9.11, then the time for taking the respective
actions (to the extent prohibited by the terms of the respective Permitted Acquired Debt) shall be
extended until 10 Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date of repayment of such Permitted
Acquired Debt and (ii) the first date on which the taking of such actions would not violate the
terms of the respective issue of Permitted Acquired Debt. To the extent the terms of any Permitted
Acquired Debt prohibits the taking of actions otherwise required by this Section 9.11, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, each Credit Agreement Party shall, or
shall cause the respective Subsidiaries of Holdings to, (x) prepay any such Permitted Acquired Debt
which is permitted to be prepaid and/or (y) use reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or
approvals as are needed so that the taking of the actions otherwise specified in this Section 9.11
would not violate the terms of the respective issue of Permitted Acquired Debt. Furthermore, to
the extent any Subsidiary which is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is acquired pursuant to a
Permitted Acquisition (in accordance with the limitations contained in the definition thereof),
then for so long as such Subsidiary is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, to the extent Holdings in
good faith determines that the respective Subsidiary is not able, under applicable requirements of
law (whether because of fiduciary duties under applicable law or other requirements of applicable
law) to execute and deliver a Subsidiaries Guaranty or one or more Security Documents, the
respective such Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor or execute and
deliver such Security Documents as otherwise required above.

          (i) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders at any time after the
Initial Borrowing Date determine in their reasonable discretion (whether as a result of a position
taken by an applicable bank regulatory agency or official, or otherwise) that real estate
appraisals satisfying the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R., Part 34-Subpart C, or any successor
or similar statute, role, regulation, guideline or order (any such appraisal, a “Required
Appraisal”) are or were required to be obtained, or should be obtained, in connection with any
Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, then, within 90 days after receiving written notice
thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, Holdings shall
cause such Required Appraisal to be delivered, at the expense of Holdings, to the Administrative
Agent, which Required Appraisal, and the respective appraiser, shall be satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 9.11 or elsewhere
in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, no Credit Party shall be required to grant a
security interest in, or Lien on, any Excluded Collateral (so long as the respective Property
constitutes Excluded Collateral), and the value of any Excluded Collateral
shall not be taken into account in making determinations pursuant to the foregoing clauses of
this Section 9.11.

          9.12. Use of Proceeds. Holdings will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds of the Loans
for the purposes specified in Section 8.05. No Credit Agreement Party will, nor will it
permit any of its Subsidiaries to, use any of the proceeds of the

-127-

 

Loans or any Letter of Credit to finance the acquisition of any Person that has not been approved and recommended by the
board of directors (or functional equivalent thereof) or the requisite shareholders of such Person.

          9.13. Ownership of Subsidiaries. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (w) Holdings
shall at all times own directly 100% of the Equity Interests of Intermediate Holdco (except that
Intermediate Holdco may be merged with and into Holdings or the Borrower or liquidated into
Holdings), (x) Intermediate Holdco or, following any liquidation or merger of Intermediate Holdco
contemplated by subclause (w) above, Holdings shall at all times own directly 100% of the capital
stock of Corporate Holdco and the Borrower (except that Corporate Holdco may be merged with and
into Holdings, Intermediate Holdco or the Borrower or liquidated into Holdings, Intermediate Holdco
or the Borrower), (y) the Borrower shall at all times own directly or indirectly 100% of the
capital stock of the Bermuda Company and (z) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of
Section 9.17(a), Holdings shall at all times own directly or indirectly (through one or more
Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiaries (as opposed to through Foreign Subsidiaries)) all of the capital
stock or other Equity Interests (to the extent owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) of
each Domestic Subsidiary of Holdings. In the event of any merger or liquidation of Intermediate
Holdco in accordance with clause (w) above, all references in this Agreement or any other Credit
Document to “Intermediate Holdco” shall, as the context requires, mean the surviving company in
such merger or, in the case of a liquidation, Holdings.

          (b) Holdings shall at all times own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the capital stock or
other Equity Interests of its Subsidiaries (except to the extent (v) with respect to Foreign
Subsidiaries, directors’ qualifying shares and other nominal amounts of shares required by
applicable law to be held by Persons (other than directors) are issued from time to time (so long
as the respective Subsidiary continues to constitute a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Holdings), (w)
100% of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of any such Subsidiary are sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 10.02, (x) less than 100% of
the capital stock or other Equity Interests are acquired in the respective Subsidiary pursuant to a
Permitted Acquisition which meets the criteria specified in the definition of Permitted Acquisition
contained herein, (y) such capital stock or other Equity Interests are acquired pursuant to an
Investment permitted by Sections 10.05(xv) and (xix) or (z) set forth on Schedule IX).

          9.14. Permitted Acquisitions. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.14 and the requirements contained in the
definition of Permitted Acquisition, the Borrower and any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries may from
time to time effect Permitted Acquisitions, so long as (in each case except to the extent the
Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree in writing in the case of a specific Permitted
Acquisition): (i) no Default, Event of Default or Compliance Period shall be in existence at the
time of the consummation of the proposed Permitted Acquisition or immediately after giving effect
thereto; (ii) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) at
least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed Permitted
Acquisition; (iii) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Credit
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such
representations and warranties had been made on

-128-

 

and as of the date of such Permitted Acquisition (both before and after giving
effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such
representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such
earlier date; (iv) the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as
soon as available but not later than 5 Business Days after the execution thereof, a copy of any
executed purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition; (v)
after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition and the payment of all post-closing purchase
price adjustments required (in the good faith determination of Holdings) in connection with such
Permitted Acquisition (and all other Permitted Acquisitions for which such purchase price
adjustments may be required to be made) and all capital expenditures (and the financing thereof)
reasonably anticipated by Holdings to be made in the business acquired pursuant to such Permitted
Acquisition within the 180-day period (such period for any Permitted Acquisition, a
“Post-Closing Period”) following such Permitted Acquisition (and in the businesses acquired
pursuant to all other Permitted Acquisitions with Post-Closing Periods ended during the
Post-Closing Period of such Permitted Acquisition), there shall exist no Compliance Period; (vi)
such proposed Permitted Acquisition shall be effected in accordance with the relevant requirements
of Section 9.17; (vii) the Borrower determines in good faith that Holdings and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole are not likely to assume or become liable for material increased contingent
liabilities as a result of such proposed Permitted Acquisition (excluding, however, Indebtedness
permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 in connection therewith); (viii) substantially
all of the Acquired Entity or Business acquired pursuant to the respective Permitted Acquisition is
in a Qualified Jurisdiction, provided, however, the respective proposed Permitted
Acquisition shall not be required to meet the requirements set forth above in this clause (viii) if
the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with such Permitted Acquisition, when
aggregated with the Maximum Permitted Consideration payable in connection with all other Permitted
Acquisitions consummated after the Initial Borrowing Date in which all or substantially all of the
Acquired Entity or Business so acquired were not in Qualified Jurisdictions, does not exceed
$300,000,000; and (ix) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date of
the consummation of such proposed Permitted Acquisition, an officer’s certificate executed by an
Authorized Officer of the Borrower, certifying to the best of his knowledge, compliance with the
requirements of preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and clauses (v) through (viii),
inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the preceding clauses (iii) and (viii).

          (b) At the time of each Permitted Acquisition involving the creation or acquisition of an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, or the acquisition of capital stock or other Equity Interests of any
Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower), all capital stock or other Equity
Interests thereof created or acquired in connection with such Permitted Acquisition shall be
pledged for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as, and to the extent required by, Section 9.11
and the relevant Security Documents.

          (c) Each Credit Agreement Party shall cause each Subsidiary that is formed to effect, or is
acquired pursuant to, a Permitted Acquisition to comply with, and to execute and deliver, all of
the documentation required by, Sections 9.11 and 10.13, to the satisfaction of the Administrative
Agent.

-129-

 

          (d) The consummation of each Permitted Acquisition shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by each Credit Agreement Party that the certifications by each Credit Agreement Party (or
by one or more of its respective Authorized Officers) pursuant to Section 9.14 are true and correct
and that all conditions thereto have been satisfied and that same is permitted in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, which representation and warranty shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, Sections 8
and 11.

          9.15. Maintenance of Company Separateness. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, satisfy
customary Company formalities, including the holding of regular board of directors’ and
shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance
of Company records. Neither Holdings nor any other Credit Party shall make any payment to a
creditor of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in respect of any liability of any Non-Guarantor
Subsidiary, and no bank account of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall be commingled with any bank
account of Holdings or any other Credit Party. Any financial statements distributed to any
creditors of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall clearly establish or indicate the corporate
separateness of such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary from Holdings and its other Subsidiaries. Finally,
neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a
manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of any Credit Agreement Party, any other
Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of
Holdings or any other Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any other such
Person or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency
proceeding.

          9.16. Performance of Obligations. Each Credit Agreement Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, perform all
of its obligations under the terms of each mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, loan agreement or
credit agreement and each other material agreement, contract or instrument by which it is bound,
except such non-performances as, individually or in the aggregate, have not caused, and could not
reasonably be expected to cause, a Default or Event of Default hereunder or a Material Adverse
Effect.

          9.17. Conduct of Business. (a) The Credit Agreement Parties shall take all actions so that, at all times from and
after the Initial Borrowing Date, all the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries located within
the United States, all Equity Interests in all Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons and all
or substantially all of the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries conducted in the United
States, are, in each case, owned or conducted, as the case may be, by Holdings and one or more
Qualified Obligors which are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of any Subsidiary of Holdings
which is a Foreign Subsidiary, provided that if a Foreign Subsidiary (not itself created or
established in contemplation of a Permitted Acquisition) is acquired pursuant to a Permitted
Acquisition which Foreign Subsidiary has (either directly or through one or more Domestic
Subsidiaries) assets or operations in the United States, Holdings shall have a reasonable period of
time (not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer of U.S. assets and operations (including all
Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons held by it) of the respective
Foreign Subsidiary to one or more Qualified Obligors, provided further, that the
respective transfer shall not be required to be made if Holdings in good faith determines that such
transfer would give rise to adverse tax consequences to Holdings and its

-130-

 

Subsidiaries or would give
rise to any material breach or violation of law or contract (in which case, Holdings and its
Subsidiaries shall transfer such assets and operations at such time, if any, as such adverse tax
consequences or breach or violation would not exist and, until such time, shall use good faith
efforts so that any growth in the assets or operations of the entity so acquired, to the extent
located in the United States, are made within one or more Qualified Obligors).

          (b) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 9.17 shall not prohibit the acquisition of, or Investments in, Non-Wholly-Owned
Subsidiaries as contemplated by Section 9.13(b), provided that the Equity Interest owned by
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, to the extent organized
under the laws of any Qualified Jurisdiction, shall be subject to the requirements of preceding
clause (a).

          9.18. Margin Stock. Each Credit Agreement Party shall take all actions so that at all times the aggregate value
of all Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (for such
purpose, using the initial purchase price paid by Holdings or such Subsidiary for the respective
shares of Margin Stock) shall not exceed $10,000,000. So long as the aggregate value of Margin
Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (determined as provided in
the preceding sentence) does not exceed $10,000,000, all Margin Stock at any time owned by Holdings
and its Subsidiaries shall not constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted
therein pursuant to any Credit Document. Without excusing any violation of the first sentence of
this Section 9.18, if at any time the aggregate value of all Margin Stock (other than treasury
stock) owned by Holdings and its Subsidiaries (determined as provided in the first sentence of this
Section 9.18) exceeds $10,000,000, then (x) all Margin Stock owned by the Credit Parties (except to
the extent constituting Excluded Collateral) shall be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant
to the relevant Security Documents and (y) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lenders
appropriate completed
forms (including, without limitation, Forms G-3 and U-1, as appropriate) establishing
compliance with the Margin Regulations. If at any time any Margin Stock is required to be pledged
as a result of the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, repayments of outstanding
Obligations shall be required to be made, and subsequent Credit Events shall only be permitted, in
compliance with the applicable provisions of the Margin Regulations.

          9.19. Landlords’ Agreements, Mortgagee Agreements, Bailee Letters and Real Estate
Purchases. Each Credit Party shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord’s agreement,
mortgagee agreement or bailee letter, as applicable, from the lessor of each leased property
(including, without limitation, farms), mortgagee of owned property or bailee with respect to any
warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where ABL Priority Collateral with a
book value in excess of $5,000,000 is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall (unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent) contain a waiver or subordination of all
Liens or claims that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against the Collateral at that
location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative
Agent. With respect to such locations or warehouse space leased or owned as of the Initial
Borrowing Date and thereafter, if the Collateral Agent has not received a landlord

-131-

 

or mortgagee
agreement or bailee letter as of the Initial Borrowing Date (or, if later, as of the date such
location is acquired or leased), any Eligible Inventory at that location shall, in Administrative
Agent’s reasonable discretion, be subject to such Reserves as may be established by Administrative
Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Each Credit Party shall timely and fully pay and perform its
obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or public
warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located except to the extent that the same are being
contested in good faith.

          9.20. Post-Closing Refinancing. To the extent that the condition set forth in Section 6.07(a)(i) was not satisfied in
accordance with its terms on the Initial Borrowing Date, on the Intermediate Holdco Prepayment
Date, Intermediate Holdco and Corporate Holdco shall, or shall cause the Intermediate Holdco Paying
Agent (for and on behalf of Intermediate Holdco and Corporate Holdco) to, prepay all of the
outstanding Intermediate Holdco Indebtedness (other than indemnities not then due and payable)
(including, without limitation, the call or other premiums payable in connection therewith and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to and including the Intermediate Holdco Prepayment Date) in
accordance with, and pursuant to, the terms of the Intermediate Holdco Credit Agreement and the
other Intermediate Holdco Credit Documents (the “Intermediate Holdco Prepayment
Consummation”). In connection therewith, and the satisfaction of Section 6.07(a)(i), on the
Initial Borrowing Date (with respect to the satisfaction of Section 6.07(a)(i)) or the Intermediate
Holdco Prepayment Date (in connection with the Intermediate Holdco Prepayment Consummation) and at
any time, respectively, thereafter (at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Intermediate
Holdco Paying Agent, as the case may be, from time to time), the Credit Parties shall take (and use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the respective lenders to take) such actions (including,
without limitation, executing or obtaining appropriate lien releases and other documents) as the
Administrative Agent or the
Intermediate Holdco Paying Agent, as the case may be, may deem reasonably necessary or
desirable to (x) release any Lien granted to or held by any Person under, and pursuant to the terms
of, the Intermediate Holdco Credit Documents and (y) terminate and satisfy in full all of the
liabilities and obligations at any time arising under or in respect of the Intermediate Holdco
Credit Documents (including, without limitation, the Intermediate Holdco Indebtedness).

          9.21. Mortgage Amendments. No later than 45 days after the effective date of Amendment 1 (or such later
date as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion), the applicable Credit Parties
shall cause to be executed and/or delivered, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent:

	 	(a)	 	with respect to each Mortgage in favor of the Administrative Agent, an amendment
(each, a “Mortgage Amendment”) duly executed and acknowledged by the applicable Credit
Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
	 
	 	(b)	 	with respect to each Mortgage Amendment, an endorsement or other modification to the
existing Mortgage Policy relating to such Mortgaged Property providing assurance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that the lien on such Mortgaged Property in favor of
the Collateral Agent shall continue to have the enforceability and priority in effect
immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment 1;

-132-

 

	 	(c)	 	with respect to each Mortgage Amendment, opinions of counsel to the Credit Parties
covering customary matters and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent;
	 
	 	(d)	 	with respect to each Mortgaged Property requested by the Collateral Agent, a
completed “Life-of-Loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency Standard Flood Hazard
Determination (together with a notice about special flood hazard area status and flood
disaster assistance duly executed by the applicable Credit Parties); and
	 
	 	(e)	 	a copy of, or a certificate as to coverage under, the insurance policies required by
Section 9.03 in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

          SECTION 10. Negative Covenants. Each Credit Agreement Party hereby covenants and agrees that as of the Effective Date and
thereafter for so long as this Agreement is in effect and until the Total Commitment has
terminated, no Letters of Credit, Bank Guaranties or Notes are outstanding and the Loans, together
with interest, Fees and all other Obligations (other than any indemnities described in Section
13.13 which are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder, are paid in full:

          10.01.
Changes in Business; etc. (a) Holdings and its Subsidiaries will not engage in any business other than a Permitted

Protection Agreement permitted to be entered into pursuant to Section 10.04(b)(iii) and any
Intercompany Note evidencing an intercompany loan permitted to be incurred by Holdings pursuant to
Section 10.05); provided that Holdings may (i) issue Shareholder Subordinated Notes, shares
of Holdings Common Stock and options and warrants to purchase Holdings Common Stock, (ii) engage in
those activities associated with expenses indirectly paid with Dividends made to it by Intermediate
Holdco pursuant to Section 10.06(iv), (iii) engage in those activities associated with the purchase

accounting matters in connection with any of the foregoing activities and (z) the entering into,

limitation, the Term Credit Documents) to which it is a party.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bermuda Partnership will not engage in any business and
will not own any significant assets or any cash or Cash Equivalents (other than its ownership of
Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries) or have any material liabilities

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Sections 10.02 and 10.05):

     (i) the Bermuda Partnership Partners shall not collectively own or hold (x) Property

or orders enforcing such judgment(s) or decree(s) (which is (or are) final and non-appealable or

prejudice to the rights of any Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against any Credit Party
(provided that if an Event of Default specified in Section 11.05 shall occur with respect

waived by the Borrower; (iii) enforce, as Collateral Agent (or direct the Collateral Agent to
enforce), subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, any or all of the Liens and security interests
created pursuant to the Security Documents; (iv) terminate any Letter of Credit which may be

Office such additional amount of cash, to be held as security by the Administrative Agent, as is
equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued for the account of the
Borrower and then outstanding; and (vi) apply any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent
as provided in Section 5.02 to the repayment of the Obligations.

          SECTION 12. The Administrative Agent.

          12.01. Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBNY as Administrative Agent (for
purposes of this Section 12 and Section 13.01, the term

-168-

 

“Administrative Agent” also shall include DBNY in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to
the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be
deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and
agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties
hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers,
directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

          12.02. Nature of Duties. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document
or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in
nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing
in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be
so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit
Document, the Lead Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as
such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement
or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being
understood and agreed that the Lead Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and
reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the
extent, provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, the
Lead Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, have any
fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

          12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the
holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i)
its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its
Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not
taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any

-169-

 

Note with any credit or other information with
respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time
or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder
of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in
any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or
observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or
possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

          12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to
any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action
unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required
Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so
refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall
have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document
in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

          12.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or
telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent
or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with
respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its
duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

          12.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and
any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the
Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses
or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred
by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under
any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

          12.07. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit,
under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein
for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing
the duties specified herein;

-170-

 

and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders,”
“Holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The
Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt
financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit
Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any
Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein,
and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit
Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for
the same to the Lenders.

          12.08. Holders. (a) The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof
for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or
endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any
request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes
issued in exchange therefor.

          (b) Without limiting the provisions of preceding clause (a), the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that any Agent hereunder may also act in individual or agency capacities in connection
with other financings, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Term Credit Documents. The
parties hereto agree to each of the Agents acting in such other individual and
agency capacities, and shall not raise any claim in connection therewith (except to the extent
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the respective such Person as an Agent
hereunder).

          12.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective
functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 11.05 then exists, the Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent
hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, in
which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further
Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of
its rights as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters
of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such
resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to
clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

          (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders
shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial
bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be
required if an Event of Default then exists).

-171-

 

          (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15
Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall
not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative
Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as
the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the
Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09, the
Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the
other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for
all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

          12.10. Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note
by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any
action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or
therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized
and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of
the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time
to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security
Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and
liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

          (b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon
termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments (and all Letters of Credit) and payment and
satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations) at any
time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to
Persons other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in
compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required
Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12), (iv) as

constituting Equity Interests or assets of any Subsidiary of the Borrower upon the liquidation or
dissolution of such Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by the Credit Documents.

          (c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other
Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for,
protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto
have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any
manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 12.10 or in any of the Security
Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission
or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in
its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the
Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders,
except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          12.11. Delivery of Information. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies
of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information

Credit Document except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any other Credit Document
and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a
specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the
possession of the Administrative Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in

harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or
omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or
such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender
and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives,
advisors, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment advisors from and hold each of them harmless
against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses,

or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into
and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of any Letter of

competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the

Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law

of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

          13.02. Right of Setoff. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise,

such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of
the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this
Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests
in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any
nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall
have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of
them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

          (b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER
OBLIGATION SHALL BE
SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF,
LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO
ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE
REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR
PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d
AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF
APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS
GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE
NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT
WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL
AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

          13.03. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or cable
communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Party,
at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if
to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the
Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as
shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each
Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed,
telegraphed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the
mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be,
or sent by telecopier, except that notices and

-175-

 

communications to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the
case may be.

          13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however,
neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided further,
that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder,
such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all
or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and
13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a
“Lender” hereunder and, provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or
grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to
or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or
waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless
such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such
participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees
thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in
interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or
modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount
of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that
a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment
shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any
Revolving Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the
consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result
thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the
Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit
Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is
participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such
Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such
Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other
Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding
Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have
terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of
such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more
other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other
Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed
or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of
such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of

-176-

 

such other Lender for the purposes of
this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans,
any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of
any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than
all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning
Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the
Revolving Loan Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding
Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans
and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor
of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each
of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed
modified to reflect the Revolving Loan
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the
existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon
such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary
indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender
and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes
to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the
extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the
case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and, so long as
no Default or Event of Default then exists and the Syndication Date has theretofore occurred, the
Borrower, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above
(such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (iv) the
Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or
assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer
or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant
to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning
Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan
Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section
13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax
purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to
the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section
5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or
any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant
to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased
costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender
prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs
(although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement,
shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from
changes after the date of the respective assignment).

          (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and
Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the

-177-

 

Administrative Agent (but without the
consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or
any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or
credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent
or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall
release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure
or otherwise) any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party thereto.

          (d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in
accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with
respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall
survive as to such assigning Lender.

          13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any
other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies
herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender
or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall
entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances
or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing
Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

          13.06. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that
promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the
Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders
entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro
rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective
shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

          (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s
lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents,
or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans,
Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the
related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such
Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due
to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess
payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or

-178-

 

warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to
such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in
such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter
recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to
the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which
require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to
Defaulting Lenders.

          13.07. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the
Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently
applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise
disclosed in writing by Holdings to the Lenders), provided that (i) except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations determining the Excess Cash Flow, the Senior
Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio and compliance with Sections 3, 9.14 and 9, including in
each case definitions used therein, shall, in each case, utilize United States accounting
principles and policies in effect at the time of the preparation of, and in conformity with those
used to prepare, the historical consolidated audited financial statements of the Borrower delivered
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.10(b) of the Original Credit Agreement for Fiscal Year 2005,
(ii) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain
calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and (iii) for purposes of
determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 9 and/or 10,
any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than
Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters
ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or
expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar limitation
provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the
aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding
amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into
Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not
provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any
provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

          (b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to (x) the Prime
Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable and (y) Sterling
LIBOR, which shall be based on a year of 365 days) for the actual number of days (including the
first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing
Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment
Commission or Fees are payable.

INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE
HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST HOLDINGS OR THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          (b) EACH OF HOLDINGS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW

          13.12. Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document
nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such
change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties

increase in interest rates), or reduce (or forgive) the principal amount thereof (it being

expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents or (y) the Guarantors
under the Guaranties, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12(a) (except
for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement

substantially the same basis as the extensions of Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the
Effective Date), (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower of any of

Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, will not be deemed such an increase in
advance rates), (vii) increase the percentage of the Borrowing Base for which Agent Advances may be
made pursuant to Section 2.01(e), (viii) increase the Total Commitment (other than as contemplated
by Section 2.14) or (ix) or increase the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender; provided
further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) without the
consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 1 or alter its
rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (2) without the consent of the Swingline
Lender, alter the Swingline Lender’s rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (3)
without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12
or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, or
(4) without the consent of Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the
rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent.

          (b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any
of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the
first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent
of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower
shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required
are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such
non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the Borrower, if the respective Lender’s
consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Revolving
Loan Commitments), to replace only the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or Loans of the respective
non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with
one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such
replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or
termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such
Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) the outstanding Loans of
such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent and/or cash collateralize
its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit of Outstandings, in accordance with Sections
4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b), provided that, unless the Revolving Loan Commitments which are
terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in
full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Revolving Loan
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically
consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required
Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto,
provided, further, that the

-182-

 

Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment
or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding
of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

          13.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections
2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of
this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

          13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the
account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14
would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or
5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay
any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the
respective transfer).

          13.15. Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its
agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”)
on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders,
the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the
Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation,
shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender,
the transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of,
and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Revolving Loan Commitments shall not be effective
until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect
to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts
owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall remain
owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or Revolving Loan transfer of all or part
of any Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the
Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered
Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of
such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and
registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such
Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to
the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred
by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

          13.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16,
each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior
consent of Holdings (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to

-183-

 

another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion
determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any
information with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future
furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender
may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by
virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal
regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve
Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United
States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any
summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law,
order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or
similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such
contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 13.16 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection
with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest
therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

          (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may
share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information
related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public
customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided
such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such
Lender.

          13.17. Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by,
Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require
that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and capital stock and other Equity
Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for
pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that
each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which
such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the
various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States and any
State thereof to perfect the security interests in the capital stock and other Equity Interests of,
and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (in each
case, to the extent said capital stock, other Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any
Credit Party). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any
Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital
stock or other Equity Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other
than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the
Initial Borrowing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law
of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued

-184-

 

the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock
or other Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees
that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to do so, the
Borrower will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without
limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the
delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to
which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the
security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such
jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.17, all such actions shall be
taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17 and Section 9.12 and within the time
periods set forth therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and
so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but only
with respect to capital stock of, other Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by,
Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States and any State thereof)
not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.17, provided
that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions
were not taken, the respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and
correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 9.12 and this Section 13.17.

          13.18. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies Holdings and the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will
allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance
with the Act.

          13.19. Post-Closing Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:

          (a) UCC Filings; Filings with respect to Intellectual Property; etc. (i) Holdings
and its Subsidiaries were not required to have filed (or cause to have filed) on or prior to the
Initial Borrowing Date Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) or any filings with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office necessary to perfect the security
interest purported to be created by the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, as applicable.
Not later than the fifth day (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent)
after the Initial Borrowing Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall have filed (or cause to have
filed) all of such Financing Statements (Form UCC-1) and any filings with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office necessary to perfect the security
interest purported to be created by the Security Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, as the case may
be.

-185-

 

          (b) Real Estate. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the actions
specified in Part A of Schedule XII as promptly as practicable, and in any event within the time
periods set forth in Part A of said Schedule XII. The provisions of Part A of said Schedule XII
shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth herein in its entirety.

          (c) Cash Management Control Agreements. Within 45 days or such later date the
Administrative Agent agrees to, following the Initial Borrowing Date, (i) the applicable Credit
Agreement Parties, the Collateral Agent and the applicable Collection Banks shall have entered into
one or more Cash Management Control Agreements pursuant to Section 5.03 with respect to each
Collection Account listed on Schedule III, (ii) the applicable Credit Agreement Parties, the
Collateral Agent and the applicable banks shall have entered into one or more Cash Management
Control Agreements with respect to each other Deposit Account (other than the Excluded Deposit
Accounts) and (iii) the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the applicable bank shall have entered
into a Cash Management Control Agreement with respect to the Core Concentration Account.

          (d) Other Actions. Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall be required to take the
actions specified in Parts B and C of Schedule XII as promptly as practicable, and in any event
within the time periods set forth in Parts B and C of said Schedule XII. The provisions of Parts B
and C of said Schedule XII shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set
forth herein in its entirety.

          All conditions precedent and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit
the taking of the actions described above within the time periods required above, rather than as
elsewhere provided in the Credit Documents), provided that (x) to the extent any
representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the
Initial Borrowing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and
correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be
taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19 and (y) all
representations and warranties relating to the Security Documents shall be required to be true
immediately after the actions required to be taken by Section 13.19 have been taken (or were
required to be taken). The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a
representation, warranty and covenant by the Borrower to each of the Lenders that the actions
required pursuant to this Section 13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time
periods referred to in this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and
correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19, and the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time
periods required above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this
Agreement.

          SECTION 14. Credit Agreement Party Guaranty.

          14.01. The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit hereunder, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received

-186-

 

by each Credit
Agreement Party from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, each Credit
Agreement Party Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: each Credit Agreement Party
Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of
any and all of its Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations of any Credit Agreement Party Guarantor to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes
due and payable hereunder, each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay
such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all
expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. This Credit Agreement Party Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
This Credit Agreement Party Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or
may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance
hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount
or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the
aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order
of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or
(ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant
(including the Borrower), then and in such event the respective Credit Agreement Party Guarantor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation of this Credit Agreement Party
Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and each Credit
Agreement Party Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the
amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been
received by any such payee.

          14.02. Bankruptcy. Additionally, each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed
Creditors whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events
specified in Section 11.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed
Creditors, or order, on demand.

          14.03. Nature of Liability. The liability of each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereunder
is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations
whether executed by such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other
party, and the liability of each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereunder is not affected or
impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or any other party, or
(b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of
any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such
other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change
in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Guaranteed
Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Borrower pursuant to court order in
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by
reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section
14.05, or (g)

-187-

 

the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other instrument
relating thereto.

          14.04. Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense
to this Credit Agreement Party Guaranty, and this Credit Agreement Party Guaranty shall be primary,
absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any
other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense
available to, a surety or guarantor except indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed
Obligations. The obligations of each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereunder are independent of
the obligations of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Credit Agreement Party Guarantor whether or not
action is brought against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party and whether or not
the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions. Each
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any
statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment
by the Borrower or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the
Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the relevant Credit Agreement Party
Guarantor.

          14.05. Authorization. Each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor authorizes the Guaranteed
Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be
waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

     (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time
of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations
(including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor,
or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Credit
Agreement Party Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended,
renewed, increased or altered;

     (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell,
exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and
in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or
howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset
there against;

     (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or others or
otherwise act or refrain from acting;

     (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other
obligors;

     (e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or
any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly

-188-

 

in respect
thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment
of any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to its creditors other than the
Guaranteed Creditors;

     (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or
liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or
liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

     (g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this
Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any of the instruments or agreements referred to
herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit
Document, or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

     (h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common
law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense available to, such Credit
Agreement Party Guarantor from its liabilities under this Credit Agreement Party Guarantor
Guaranty.

          14.06. Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the
capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or
purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon
the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

          14.07. Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to any
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of the
Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time
when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the Borrower to such Credit Agreement
Party Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor
in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to
the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of any
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor under the other provisions of this Credit Agreement Party
Guarantor Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any Credit Agreement Party Guarantor of any note or
negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Credit Agreement
Party Guarantor, such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable
instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereby agrees with the
Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of this Credit Agreement Party Guarantor Guaranty (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been
irrevocably paid in full in cash.

          14.08. Waiver. (a) Each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor waives any right (except as shall
be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i)
proceed against any the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other
party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other
guarantor or

-189-

 

any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power
whatsoever. Each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of
any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than indefeasible
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of
the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of
the Borrower other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. The
Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial
sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such
sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed
Creditors may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or
impairing in any way the liability of any Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereunder except to the
extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Credit
Agreement Party Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed
Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or
subrogation or other right or remedy of such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor against the Borrower
or any other party or any security.

          (b) Each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance,
protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest,
notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Credit Agreement Party Guarantor Guaranty, and
notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Each
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed
of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks
which such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the
Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Credit Agreement Party Guarantor of
information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

          (c) Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Credit
Agreement Party Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time
otherwise have as a result of this Credit Agreement Party Guarantor Guaranty (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors
against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual,
statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from the Borrower or any
other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Credit Agreement Party
Guarantor Guaranty.

          (d) Each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands
that to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California,
such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount of the liability
hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason
impairing such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor’s or any Guaranteed
Creditor’s right to proceed against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed

-190-

 

Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, each
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor hereby waives:

     (i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any
other rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Credit Agreement Party
Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California
Code of Civil Procedure;

     (ii) all rights and defenses that such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor may have
because the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California,
meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from such
Credit Agreement Party Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property
collateral pledged by any Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any
Real Property collateral pledged by any Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the
Guaranteed Creditors may collect from such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor even if the
Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any
right such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower, it being
understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses
such Credit Agreement Party Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are
secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon
Section 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

     (iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed
Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed such Credit Agreement
Party Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower by the
operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

          (e) Each Credit Agreement Party Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set
forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of
such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers
shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

terms of this Agreement;

     the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections,

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the TL Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral
Agent and the ABL Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the ABL Documents and exercise

until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso
in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a) or in Section 4, the sole right of the ABL Collateral Agent, the
ABL Secured Parties with respect to the TL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on the TL

          any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any TL Priority Collateral

ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the ABL
Obligations and Notes Obligations, as applicable, so long as such receipt is not the direct or
indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes
Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor
(including set off) in respect of the TL Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or

security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in and to and under the
Pledged TL Priority Collateral wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired from time to time. As security for the payment and performance in full of all the Notes

     (ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (x) until the Discharge of Term
Obligations has occurred, the Term Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the
Pledged TL Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Term Documents as if the
Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent under the ABL Security Documents and the Liens of the
Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes Security Documents did not exist and (y) following
the Discharge of Term Obligations and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred,
the ABL Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged TL Priority Collateral

Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this
Agreement and to the Term Collateral Agent’s rights under the Term Documents.

     (iii) The Term Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Term Secured
Party, the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any

except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.4(f). The duties or responsibilities of the
ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 2.4(f) shall be limited solely to holding the
Pledged TL Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 2.4(f).

     (iv) The Term Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall not have by
reason of the Term Security Documents, the ABL Security Documents, the Notes Security
Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
Term Secured Party, the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any Notes Secured Party. The ABL Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section
2.4(f) shall not have by reason of the ABL Security Documents, the Notes Security Documents,
this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any ABL Secured
Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party.

     (v) Upon the Discharge of Term Obligations under the Term Documents to which the Term
Collateral Agent is a party, the Term Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be
delivered the remaining Pledged TL Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the
possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the
ABL Collateral Agent to the extent ABL Obligations remain outstanding, second, to the Notes
Collateral Agent to the extent Notes Obligations remain outstanding and third, to the
applicable Grantor to the extent no Term Obligations, ABL Obligations or Notes Obligations
remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such
Pledged TL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the ABL Collateral Agent or Notes
Collateral Agent, as applicable, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the Term
Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any
other Pledged TL Priority Collateral under its control. The Term Collateral Agent further
agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such
Person obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged TL Priority Collateral or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of Term
Obligations and upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations under the ABL Documents to which the
ABL Collateral Agent is a party, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be

Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the Notes Collateral Agent in assigning
(without recourse to or warranty by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party or
agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged TL Priority Collateral under its
control. The ABL Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably
requested by such Person in connection with such Person obtaining a first priority interest
in the Pledged TL Priority Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct.

     (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any ABL
Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Obligations, all rights of the
Term Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Term Security Documents, the ABL Security
Documents or the Notes Security Documents (1) with respect to the delivery and control of
any part of the TL Priority Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise
influence the maintenance or disposition of such TL Priority Collateral, shall immediately,
and (to the extent permitted by law) without further action

-38-

 

on the part of either of the Notes Collateral Agent, the ABL Collateral Agent or the
Term Collateral Agent, pass to the ABL Collateral Agent, who shall thereafter hold such
rights for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any
collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Notes Secured Parties.
Each of the Term Collateral Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any ABL
Obligations or Notes Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Obligations,
take any other action required by any law or reasonably requested by the ABL Collateral
Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, in connection with the ABL Collateral Agent’s
establishment and perfection of a First Priority security interest in the TL Priority
Collateral and the Notes Collateral Agent’s establishment and perfection of a Second
Priority security interest in the TL Priority Collateral.

     (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason,
prior to the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes
Collateral Agent acquires possession of any Pledged ABL Priority Collateral, the Term
Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the
same extent as is provided in preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged TL Priority
Collateral, provided that as soon as is practicable the Term Collateral Agent or the
Notes Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent in a manner otherwise consistent with the
requirements of preceding clause (v).

          (g) When Discharge of Term Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if at any time after the Discharge of Term Obligations has
occurred (or concurrently therewith) the Company or any other Grantor immediately thereafter (or
concurrently therewith) enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any Term Obligations, then such
Discharge of Term Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes
of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such
designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Term Obligations), and the
obligations under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Term Obligations
(together with Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements on the basis
provided in the definition of “Term Documents” contained herein) for all purposes of this
Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set
forth herein, the term “Term Credit Agreement” shall be deemed appropriately modified to refer to
such Permitted Refinancing and the Term Collateral Agent under such Term Documents shall be a Term
Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof and the new secured parties under such Term Documents
(together with Secured Hedge Counterparties as provided herein) shall automatically be treated as
Term Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that
the Company or any other Grantor has entered into a new Term Document in respect of a Permitted
Refinancing of Term Obligations (which notice shall include the identity of the new collateral
agent, such agent, the “New Term Agent”), and delivery by the New Term Agent of an
Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, the ABL Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall
promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this
Agreement) as the Company or such New Term Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to
the New Term Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material
respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New Term Agent any Pledged TL
Priority

-39-

 

Collateral held by the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent together with any
necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Term Agent to obtain control of such Pledged TL
Priority Collateral). The New Term Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
If the new Term Obligations under the new Term Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of
the type constituting TL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations and the
Notes Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Second Priority
Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the
other TL Priority Collateral and the Notes Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Third
Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Notes Security Documents with
respect to the other TL Priority Collateral. If the new Term Obligations under the new Term
Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Priority Collateral
that do not also secure the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then the ABL Obligations
shall be secured at such time by a First Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided
in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral and the Notes
Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Third Priority Lien on such assets to the same
extent provided in the Notes Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral.

          (h) Option to Purchase Term Obligations.

     (i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the Term Collateral Agent and
the Term Secured Parties, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility
standards contained in all relevant Term Documents) at any time or from time to time
designated by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
ABL Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement as being entitled to exercise all default
purchase options as to the Term Obligations then outstanding (an “Eligible ABL
Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby
also assume all commitments and duties of the Term Secured Parties), at any time during the
exercise period described in clause (iii) below of this Section 2.4(h), all, but not less
than all, of the Term Obligations (other than the Term Obligations of a Defaulting Term
Secured Party (as defined below)), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of
all Term Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase; provided that at the time
of (and as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.4(h), all commitments
pursuant to any then outstanding Term Credit Agreement shall have terminated and all Hedge
Agreements constituting Term Documents also shall have been terminated in accordance with
their terms. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.4(h)(i) shall be made as follows:

          for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) (I) in the case of all loans, advances
or other similar extensions of credit that constitute Term Obligations (including
unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit and bank guaranties, but
excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit and bank guaranties),
100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the
date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration prepayment penalties
or premiums other than customary breakage costs) and (II) in the case of all credit-linked
deposits (or equivalents) related to the foregoing Obligations set forth in preceding clause

-40-

 

(I) (which credit-linked deposits, for the avoidance of doubt, will continue to be held
by the applicable deposit bank for application pursuant to the terms of the Term Credit
Agreement and it being understood and agreed that upon any drawing under any letter of
credit or any bank guaranty, such deposit bank and the Term Administrative Agent shall apply
the credit-linked deposits deposited with the deposit bank to repay the respective unpaid
drawing or unreimbursed payment, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the
Term Credit Agreement), 100% of the aggregate amount of such credit-linked deposits and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase, (B) in the case of any
Hedge Agreement, the aggregate amount then owing to each Secured Hedge Counterparty (which
is a Term Secured Party) thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective Hedge Agreement,
including without limitation all amounts owing to such Secured Hedge Counterparty (which is
a Term Secured Party) as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof (in each
case, to the extent of its interest as a Term Secured Party) plus (C) all accrued and unpaid
fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts through the date of purchase; and (y) an
obligation on the part of the respective Eligible ABL Purchasers (which shall be expressly
provided in the assignment documentation described below) to reimburse each issuing lender
and bank guaranty issuer (or, any Term Secured Party required to pay same) for all amounts
thereafter drawn with respect to any letters of credit and any bank guaranties constituting
Term Obligations which remain outstanding after the date of any purchase pursuant to this
Section 2.4 (except to the extent of the credit-linked deposits actually held at such time
by the deposit bank under the Term Credit Agreement which are required, in accordance with
the provisions of the Term Credit Agreement, to be applied to pay same);

          with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) payable in cash on the
date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL
Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, whether
as to the enforceability of any Term Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection,
priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation
for, any Term Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representation and
warranty that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than
participation interests not prohibited by the Term Credit Agreement, in which case the
purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) shall be appropriately adjusted so
that the Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by
any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey, whatever
claims and interests it may have in respect of the Term Obligations); provided that
the purchase price in respect of any outstanding letter of credit that remains undrawn on
the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when such letter of credit is drawn
upon (i) first, from the credit-linked deposits which then remain on deposit in
accordance with the terms of the Term Credit Agreement (as described in clause (1)(A)(11)
above), until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (ii) thereafter,
directly by the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers;

          with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(l)(x) accompanied by a waiver
by the ABL Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured

-41-

 

Parties) of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby as a result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 2.4(h);

          with all amounts payable to the various Term Secured Parties in respect of the
assignments described above to be distributed to them by the Term Collateral Agent in
accordance with their respective holdings of the various Term Obligations; and

          with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the Term Collateral Agent
(with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make
such payment, by the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers, who shall
have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood and
agreed that the Term Collateral Agent and each other Term Secured Party shall retain all
rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant Term Documents for all periods prior
to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4(h). The relevant
assignment documentation shall also provide that, if for any reason (other than the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Term Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)), the amount of credit-linked
deposits held by the deposit bank under the terms of the Term Documents is at any time less
than the full amounts owing with respect to any letter of credit and/or any bank guaranty
described above (including facing, fronting, facility and similar fees) then the respective
Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers shall promptly reimburse the Term
Collateral Agent (who shall pay the respective issuing lender and/or bank guaranty issuer,
as the case may be) the amount of deficiency.

     (ii) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 2.4(h)(i) above
shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior
written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding
on the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers) given to the Term
Collateral Agent by an Eligible ABL Purchaser. Neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any
Term Secured Party shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Term Purchaser, the
ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such
purchase option.

     (iii) The right to purchase the Term Obligations as described in this Section 2.4(h)
may be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause
(ii)) during the period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the
first to occur of (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans under
the Term Credit Agreement, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the loans under the
Term Credit Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with
respect to the Company or any other Grantor which constitutes an event of default under the
Term Credit Agreement (in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due
at final maturity or such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of
default has not been rescinded or cured within such 10 Business Day period, and so long as
any unpaid amounts constituting Term Obligations remain owing); provided that if
there is any failure to meet the condition described in the proviso

-42-

 

of preceding clause (i) hereof, the aforementioned date shall be extended until the
first date upon which such condition is satisfied, and (2) ends on the 90th day after the
start of the period described in clause (1) above.

     (iv) The obligations of the Term Secured Parties to sell their respective Term
Obligations under this Section 2.4(h) are several and not joint and several. To the extent
any Term Secured Party breaches its obligation to sell its Term Obligations under this
Section 2.4(h) (a “Defaulting Term Secured Party”), nothing in this Section 2.4(h)
shall be deemed to require the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party to purchase
such Defaulting Term Secured Party’s Term Obligations for resale to the holders of ABL
Obligations and in all cases, the Term Collateral Agent and each Term Secured Party
complying with the terms of this Section 2.4(h) shall not be deemed to be in default of this
Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting Term
Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (iv) shall require any Eligible
ABL Purchaser to purchase less than all of the Term Obligations.

     (v) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more
Eligible ABL Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.4(h) (so long as they meet all
eligibility standards contained in all relevant Term Documents, other than obtaining the
consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such Term Documents) for
purposes of all Term Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor
shall be required.

          16.05. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

          (a) Finance and Sale Issues.

     (i) Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other
Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Term Collateral
Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral constituting TL Priority Collateral
on which the Term Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company
or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Term Secured Parties or any other
entity under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law
(each, a “DIP Financing”), then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and
the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes
Secured Parties, agree that they will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral
constituting TL Priority Collateral or to the fact that such DIP Financing may be granted
Liens on the TL Priority Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other
relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly, agreed by the Term Collateral Agent or
to the extent permitted by Section 2.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the TL Priority
Collateral securing the Term Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with
the Liens on the TL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing, the ABL Collateral
Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate their Liens in the TL Priority
Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto).
The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that they will not raise any
objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any TL

-43-

 

Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of proceeds with
respect to the Second Priority Lien on the TL Priority Collateral in favor of the ABL
Collateral Agent and the Third Priority Lien on the TL Priority Collateral in favor of the
Notes Collateral Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other
claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Term Secured Parties have consented
to such sale or disposition of such assets.

     (ii) Following the Discharge of Term Obligations and until the Discharge of ABL
Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the
Company or any other Grantor to obtain a DIP Financing, then the Notes Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection to
such use of cash collateral constituting TL Priority Collateral or to the fact that such DIP
Financing may be granted Liens on the TL Priority Collateral and will not request adequate
protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly, agreed by the
ABL Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 2.5(c)) and, to the extent the
Liens on the TL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are subordinated or
pari passu with the Liens on the TL Priority Collateral securing such DIP
Financing, the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the TL Priority
Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto).
Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Notes Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other
disposition of any TL Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment
of proceeds with respect to the Third Priority Lien on the TL Priority Collateral in favor
of the Notes Collateral Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or
other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the ABL Secured Parties have
consented to such sale or disposition of such assets.

          (b) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has
occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none of them shall
seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
in respect of the TL Priority Collateral without the prior written consent of the Term Collateral
Agent. Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has
occurred, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees
that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the TL Priority Collateral without the prior written consent
of the ABL Collateral Agent.

          (c) Adequate Protection.

     (i) The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties and the
Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none
of them shall contest (or support any other person contesting) (i) any request by the Term
Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any TL
Priority Collateral or (ii) any objection by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured
Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on

-44-

 

the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate
protection with respect to the TL Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions in this Section 2.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the
Term Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of
additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting TL Priority Collateral in
connection with any DIP Financing, then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any
of the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes
Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such
additional collateral, which Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent will be subordinated to the
Liens securing the Term Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on TL Priority Collateral securing the ABL
Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Obligations under this Agreement and which Lien
of the Notes Collateral Agent will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term
Obligations, such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and the ABL
Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on TL Priority Collateral securing the
Notes Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Obligations and ABL Obligations under this
Agreement, and (B) in the event the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL
Secured Parties or the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, seek or request adequate protection in respect of TL Priority Collateral securing
ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations, as applicable, and such adequate protection is
granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting TL
Priority Collateral, then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL
Secured Parties and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, agree that the Term Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such
additional collateral as security for the Term Obligations and for any such DIP Financing
provided by the Term Secured Parties and that any Lien on such additional collateral
securing the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on
such collateral securing the Term Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the
Term Secured Parties (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted
to the Term Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on
TL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations are so
subordinated to such Term Obligations under this Agreement.

     (ii) Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support
any other person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured
Parties for adequate protection with respect to any TL Priority Collateral or (ii) any
objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties claiming a
lack of adequate protection with respect to the TL Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions in this Section 2.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding,
(A) if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in
the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting TL Priority
Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form
of a Lien on such additional collateral, which

-45-

 

Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations and such DIP
Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on TL
Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL
Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in respect of
TL Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations, and such adequate protection is
granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting TL
Priority Collateral, then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes
Secured Parties, agree that the ABL Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on
such additional collateral as security for the ABL Obligations and for any such DIP
Financing provided by the ABL Secured Parties and that any Lien on such additional
collateral securing the Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such
collateral securing the ABL Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the ABL
Secured Parties (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the
ABL Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on TL
Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL
Obligations under this Agreement.

          (d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a), nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured
Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken
by the ABL Collateral Agent, any of the ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any of
the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the TL Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the
ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the ABL Collateral Agent,
any ABL Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of any of its
rights and remedies under the ABL Documents, the Notes Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.
Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit
or in any way limit the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party from objecting in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Notes Collateral
Agent or any of the Notes Secured Parties in respect of the TL Priority Collateral, including the
seeking by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of adequate protection in
respect thereof or the asserting by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of any
of its rights and remedies under the Notes Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.

          (e) Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor
are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan,
on account of Term Obligations, on account of ABL Obligations and on account of Notes Obligations,
then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Term Obligations, on
account of the ABL Obligations and on account of Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the
same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt
obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt
obligations.

-46-

 

          (f) Post-Petition Interest.

     (i) None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent
or any Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term
Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of Term Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the
extent of the value of the Term Secured Party’s Lien on the TL Priority Collateral, without
regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured
Parties on the TL Priority Collateral or the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of
the Notes Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral. None of the Notes Collateral Agent
or any Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral
Agent or any ABL Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of
ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the
value of the ABL Secured Party’s Lien on the TL Priority Collateral, without regard to the
existence of the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties
on the TL Priority Collateral.

     (ii) Neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any other Term Secured Party shall oppose or
seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the Notes
Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of ABL Obligations or Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest,
fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent on
behalf of the ABL Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral or the Lien of the Notes
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral (after
taking into account the Lien of the Term Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral and
with respect to the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent, after taking into account the Lien
of the ABL Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral). Neither the ABL Collateral Agent
nor any other ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Notes
Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to
the extent of the value of the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Notes
Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the
Term Secured Parties and the ABL Secured Parties on the TL Priority Collateral).

          (g) Waiver. The ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured
Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties,
waive any claim they may hereafter have against any Term Secured Party arising out of the election
of any Term Secured Party of the application of Section 111l(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or
out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in
connection with the TL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

-47-

 

          16.06. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

          (a) Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent,
for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, acknowledge that they and such ABL Secured
Parties and such Notes Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the Term
Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by
them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such ABL Documents and
Notes Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their
own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Credit Agreement, the
Indenture or this Agreement.

          (b) No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and
the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes
Secured Parties, acknowledge and agree that the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties
have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the
execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Term
Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.
The Term Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and
extensions of credit under their respective Term Documents in accordance with law and as they may
otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Term Collateral Agent and the Term
Secured Parties shall have no duty to the ABL Collateral Agent, any of the ABL Secured Parties,
the Notes Collateral Agent or any of the Notes Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a
manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or
default under any agreements with the Company or any other Grantor (including the Term Documents,
the ABL Documents and the Notes Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may
have or be charged with.

          (c) No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

     (i) No right of the Term Secured Parties, the Term Collateral Agent or any of them to
enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Term Document shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any other
Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any Term Secured Party or the Term Collateral
Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Agreement, any of the Term Documents, any of the ABL Documents or any of the Notes
Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Term Collateral Agent or the Term
Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

     (ii) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject
to the rights of the Company and the other Grantors under the Term Documents and subject to
the provisions of Section 2.4(c)), the Term Secured Parties, the Term Collateral Agent and
any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the Term Documents
and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the ABL Collateral Agent, any
ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party, without incurring
any liabilities to the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL

-48-

 

Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party and without
impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement
(even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the ABL Collateral Agent, any
ABL Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party is affected,
impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

SECTION 17. ABL Priority Collateral.

          17.01. Lien Priorities.

          (a) Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding (i) the time, manner, order or method of
grant, creation, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Term Obligations or the Notes
Obligations granted on the ABL Priority Collateral or of any Liens securing the ABL Obligations
granted on the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the security
interests and Liens granted in favor of any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party on the ABL
Priority Collateral, (iii) the date on which any ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Notes
Obligations are extended, (iv) any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law, including any
rule for determining priority thereunder or under any other law or rule governing the relative
priorities of secured creditors, including with respect to real property or fixtures, (v) any
provision set forth in any ABL Document, any Term Document or any Notes Document (other than this
Agreement), (vi) the possession or control by any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or any
bailee of all or any part of any ABL Priority Collateral as of the date hereof or otherwise, or
(vii) any other circumstance whatsoever, the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, hereby agree that:

     (i) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations now or
hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Parties or any
agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and
prior to (x) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any of the Term Obligations
and (y) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any of the Notes Obligations;

     (ii) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of
the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent, any Notes
Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by
grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and
subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL
Obligations;

-51-

 

     (iii) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Term Obligations now or
hereafter held by or on behalf of the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Parties or
any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and
prior to any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any of the Notes Obligations; and

     (iv) any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of
the Notes Collateral Agent, any Notes Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor
regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law,
subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on
the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Term Obligations.

All Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations shall be and remain senior in
all respects and prior to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing (x) any Term
Obligations and (y) any Notes Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any
ABL Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any
other Grantor or any other Person. All Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Term
Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the ABL Priority
Collateral securing any Notes Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any
Term Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any
other Grantor or any other Person.

          (b) Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Term Collateral Agent, for itself
and on behalf of each Term Secured Party, the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of
each ABL Secured Party, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Notes
Secured Party, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any
other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding), (i) the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of
the ABL Secured Parties in the ABL Priority Collateral, by or on behalf of any of the Term Secured
Parties in the ABL Priority Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Notes Secured Parties in
the ABL Priority Collateral, as the case may be, or (ii) the validity or enforceability of any
Term Security Document (or any Term Obligations thereunder), any ABL Security Document (or any ABL
Obligations thereunder) or any Notes Security Document (or any Notes Obligations thereunder);
provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights
of any of the Collateral Agents or any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the
priority of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, the Term
Obligations and the Notes Obligations as provided in Sections 3.1(a), 3.2(a) and 3.2(b).

          (c) No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, the
parties hereto agree that the Company or any other Grantor shall not grant or permit any
additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Term Obligation or Notes
Obligation unless it has granted or contemporaneously grants (x)(i) a First Priority Lien on such
asset or property to secure the ABL Obligations if such asset or property constitutes ABL Priority
Collateral or (ii) a Second Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Obligations
if such asset or property constitutes TL Priority Collateral, (y)(i) a

-52-

 

Second Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the Term Obligations if such asset
or property constitutes ABL Priority Collateral or (ii) a First Priority Lien on such asset or
property to secure the Term Obligations if such asset or property constitutes TL Priority
Collateral and (z) a Third Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the Notes
Obligations. To the extent that the provisions of clause (x)(i) in the immediately preceding
sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies
available to the ABL Collateral Agent and/or the ABL Secured Parties, each of the Term Collateral
Agent, on behalf of Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes
Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or
as a result of Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral granted in contravention of such clause (x)(i)
of this Section 3.1(c) shall be subject to Section 3.3.

          (d) Effectiveness of Lien Priorities. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that
the Lien priorities provided for in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any manner
whatsoever, including, without limitation, on account of: (i) the invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of all or any part of the ABL Documents, the Term Documents or the Notes
Documents; (ii) any amendment, change or modification of any ABL Documents, Term Documents or
Notes Documents; or (iii) any impairment, modification, change, exchange, release or subordination
of or limitation on, any liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against,
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries party to any of the ABL Documents, the Term Documents or the
Notes Documents, its property, or its estate in bankruptcy resulting from any bankruptcy,
arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation, rehabilitation, similar proceeding or
otherwise involving or affecting any Secured Party.

          17.02. Exercise of Remedies.

          (a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against Holdings, the Company or any
other Grantor:

     (i) none of the Term Collateral Agent, the Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral
Agent or the Notes Secured Parties (x) will exercise or seek to exercise any rights or
remedies (including, without limitation, setoff) with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral
(including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement,
account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or
arrangement in respect of ABL Priority Collateral to which the Term Collateral Agent, any
Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party is a party) or
institute or commence or join with any Person (other than the ABL Collateral Agent and the
ABL Secured Parties) in commencing any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or
remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution);
provided, however, that the Term Collateral Agent may exercise any or all
such rights after the passage of a period of 180 days from the date of delivery of a notice
in writing to the ABL Collateral Agent of the Term Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise
its right to take such actions (the “Term Standstill Period”); provided,
further, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither
the Term Collateral Agent nor any Term Secured Party will exercise any rights or remedies

-53-

 

with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the
Term Standstill Period, the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured Parties shall have commenced
the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any portion of the
ABL Priority Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Term Collateral
Agent) and are pursuing the exercise thereof, (y) will contest, protest or object to any
foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Party with respect to, or any other exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Party of any rights and remedies relating to, the ABL Priority Collateral under the ABL
Documents or otherwise, or (z) subject to the rights of the Term Collateral Agent under
clause (i)(x) above, will object to the forbearance by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL
Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other
exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case so
long as the respective interests of the Term Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties
attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 3.1;
provided, that the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties will not
object to the forbearance by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties from
bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any
rights or remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case so long as the
interests of the Notes Secured Parties attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the
relative priorities described in Section 3.1; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.2(a) shall be construed to authorize (A) the Term Collateral
Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party to sell
any ABL Priority Collateral free of the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured
Party or (B) the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party to sell any ABL Priority
Collateral free of the Lien of the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party; and

     (ii) the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the exclusive
right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid
their debt) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with
respect to, the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the
Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes
Secured Party; provided, that:

     the Term Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens
on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, or the rights of any
ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect
thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral;

     the Notes Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens
on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the Term
Obligations, or the rights of any ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, any
Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect
thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral;

-54-

 

     the Term Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to
file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion,
claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or
otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term Secured Parties or the
Notes Secured Parties, as applicable, including without limitation any claims
secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement;

     the Term Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to

interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the
Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement;

     the Term Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to
vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise and other filings and make any arguments and
motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with
respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; and

     the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party may exercise any of its
rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral after the termination
of the Term Standstill Period to the extent permitted by clause (i)(x) above.

          In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL
Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the ABL Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the
exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an
agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure,
to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and
remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured
creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (b) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, so long as the Discharge of Term Obligations
has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or
against Holdings, the Company or any other Grantor:

     (i) none of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties (x) will exercise
or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, setoff) with
respect to any ABL Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any
right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s
letter or similar agreement or arrangement in respect of ABL Priority Collateral to which
the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party is a party) or institute or commence,
or join with any Person (other than the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties)
in commencing any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including
any action of foreclosure), enforcement, collection or execution; (y)

-55-

 

will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the
Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party with respect to, or any other exercise by
the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to,
the ABL Priority Collateral under the Term Documents or otherwise, or (z) will object to
the forbearance by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties from bringing or
pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or
remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case so long as the respective
interests of the Notes Secured Parties attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the
relative priorities described in Section 3.1; and

     (ii) the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall have the exclusive
right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid
their debt) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with
respect to, the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the
Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party; provided, that:

     the Notes Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens
on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations, or the rights of any
Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect
thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral;

     the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or
defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or

terms of this Agreement;

     the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections,
motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured
creditors of the Grantors arising under either the Bankruptcy Law or applicable

the ABL Priority Collateral.

          In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term
Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Term Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the
exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an
agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure,

-56-

 

all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction
and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (c) Each of the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, and
the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that it will
not take or receive any ABL Priority Collateral or any proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any ABL
Priority Collateral unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, except as
expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a). Following the Discharge of

ABL Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of
Section 3.2(a), the sole right of the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties with
respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant
to the Term Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of
the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Term Documents and applicable law and (y) unless and until the
Discharge of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of Term Obligations have occurred, except as
expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a) and the proviso in clause (ii)
of Section 3.2(b), the sole right of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Secured Parties with
respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant
to the Notes Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of
the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of Term

Section 3.2(b):

     (i) the Term Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties,

Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

-57-

 

     (iii) the Term Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties,
hereby waives any and all rights it or the Term Secured Parties may have as a junior lien
creditor with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in
which the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL
Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the ABL Priority Collateral, regardless of
whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL
Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the Term Secured Parties; and

     (iv) the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties,
hereby waives any and all rights it or the Notes Secured Parties may have as a junior lien
creditor with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in
which the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Collateral Agent or the
Term Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations
or the Liens granted in any of the ABL Priority Collateral, regardless of whether any action
or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the
Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the Notes
Secured Parties.

          (e) The Term Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or
restriction contained in any Term Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict
in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with

may request to effectively confirm such release; provided that in the case of clause (a)(i) above,
any proceeds of such disposition shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

     (ii) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, the Term Collateral Agent, for
itself and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself
and an on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the
ABL Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the ABL
Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in
fact

-59-

 

with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Term Collateral
Agent, the Notes Collateral Agent or such holder or in the ABL Collateral Agent’s own name,
from time to time in the ABL Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out
the terms of this Section 3.4(a) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, to take any and
all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be
necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4(a) with respect to ABL Priority
Collateral, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

     (iii) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, to the extent that the ABL Secured
Parties (a) have released any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral and any such Lien is later
reinstated or (b) obtain any new First Priority Liens on assets constituting ABL Priority
Collateral from Grantors, then the Term Secured Parties shall be granted a Second Priority
Lien on any such ABL Priority Collateral and the Notes Secured Parties shall be grated a
Third Priority Lien on any such ABL Priority Collateral.

     (iv) If, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, a subordination of the ABL
Collateral Agent’s Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral is permitted (or in good faith
believed by the ABL Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the ABL Credit Agreement and the
Term Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term
Credit Agreement and the Indenture (an “ABL Collateral Priority Lien”), then the ABL
Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect
thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the Term Collateral Agent, for itself
and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes Collateral Agent for itself and on
behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the ABL
Collateral Agent an identical subordination agreement subordinating (x) the Liens of the
Term Collateral Agent for the benefit of (and on behalf of) the Term Secured Parties to such
ABL Collateral Priority Lien and (y) the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit
of (and on behalf of) the Notes Secured Parties to such ABL Collateral Priority Lien.

          (b) Releases by Term Collateral Agent.

     (i) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, but prior to the Discharge of Term
Obligations, if, in connection with:

     1) the exercise of any Term Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral provided for in Section 3.2(b), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or
other disposition of any such ABL Priority Collateral; or

     2) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any ABL Priority
Collateral permitted under the terms of the Term Documents and the Notes Documents (whether
or not an event of default thereunder, and as defined therein, has occurred and is
continuing),

the Term Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Term Secured Parties, releases any
of its Liens on any part of the ABL Priority Collateral other than, in the case of clause (2)

-60-

 

above, (A) in connection with the Discharge of Term Obligations and (B) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any event of default under the Indenture, then the Liens, if any, of the
Notes Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, on such ABL
Priority Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set
forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and
the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Notes Secured Parties, promptly
shall execute and deliver to the Term Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements,
releases and other documents as the Term Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to
effectively confirm such release; provided that in the case of clause (b)(i) above, any proceeds of
such disposition shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

     (ii) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and until the Discharge of Term
Obligations occurs, the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes
Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Term Collateral Agent and
any officer or agent of the Term Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of the Notes Collateral Agent or such holder or in the Term Collateral Agent’s own
name, from time to time in the Term Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Section 3.4(b) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, to
take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4(b) with respect to ABL
Priority Collateral, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

     (iii) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and until the Discharge of Term
Obligations occurs, to the extent that the Term Secured Parties (a) have released any Lien
on ABL Priority Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (b) obtain any new
Second Priority Liens on assets constituting ABL Priority Collateral from Grantors, then the
Notes Secured Parties shall be granted a Third Priority Lien on any such ABL Priority
Collateral.

     (iv) If, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, a subordination of the Term
Collateral Agent’s Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral is permitted (or in good faith
believed by the Term Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the Term Credit Agreement to
another Lien permitted under the Term Credit Agreement and the Indenture (a “Subsequent
ABL Collateral Priority Lien”), then the Term Collateral Agent is authorized to execute
and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance
satisfactory to it, and the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes
Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Term Collateral Agent an
identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent for
the benefit of (and on behalf of) the Notes Secured Parties to such Subsequent Term
Collateral Priority Lien.

          (c) Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the
ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the sole and
exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Documents, to adjust
settlement for any insurance policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any

-61-

 

loss
thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed
in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral. Following the Discharge of
ABL Obligations, unless and until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the Term
Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to
the rights of the Grantors under the Term Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy
covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award
granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect
of the ABL Priority Collateral.

          (d) Amendments to Term Security Documents or Notes Security Documents.

     (i) Without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, no Term Security
Document or Notes Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or
entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any
new Term Document or new Notes Document, would contravene the provisions of this Agreement.
Grantors agree that each Term Security Document and Notes Security Document (other than (x)
any mortgage, deed of trust or similar security document relating to real property and
fixtures thereon and (y) any Term Security Document and Notes Security Document where the
party or parties granting security interests thereunder are not parties hereto, as
contemplated by Section 6.19) shall include the following language (with any necessary
modifications to give effect to applicable definitions) (or language to similar effect
approved by the ABL Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests
granted to [the Term Collateral Agent] [the Notes Collateral Agent] pursuant to this
Agreement in any ABL Priority Collateral and the exercise of any right or remedy by
[the Term Collateral Agent] [the Notes Collateral Agent] with respect to any ABL
Priority Collateral hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement, dated as of [April 12, 2006] [March 18, 2009] (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”), among DHM HOLDING COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation, DOLE
HOLDING COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, DOLE FOOD COMPANY, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the other GRANTORS from time to time
party thereto, DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as ABL Collateral Agent, DBAG, as
Term Collateral Agent, [U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Notes Collateral Agent],
and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and
this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

     (ii) In the event any ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties and the relevant
Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the ABL Security
Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or
consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any ABL Security Document or
changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent, such ABL Secured

-62-

 

Parties, the
Company or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the ABL
Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any
comparable provision of (x) the Comparable Term Security Document without the consent of the
Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties and without any action by the Term
Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor and (y) the Comparable Notes Security
Document without the consent of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Secured Parties and
without any action by the Notes Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor,
provided that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i)
removing assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral subject to the Lien of the Term
Security Documents or the Notes Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of
such Lien is permitted or required by Section 3.4(a) and provided that there is a
corresponding release of such Lien securing the ABL Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the
Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent without its consent or (iii) permitting
other liens on the ABL Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Term
Documents, the Notes Documents or Section 3.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or
consent shall have been given to the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent
within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

     (iii) Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, in the event any Term Collateral
Agent or the Term Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver
or consent in respect of any of the Term Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or
deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Term
Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Term Collateral Agent, such
Term Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect
to or relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall
apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Notes Security Document
without the consent of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Secured Parties and without
any action by the Notes Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor, provided
that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets
that constitute ABL Priority Collateral subject to the Lien of the Notes Security Documents,
except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 3.4(b)
and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the Term
Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the Notes Collateral Agent without its consent or (iii)
permitting other liens on the ABL Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the
Notes Documents or Section 2.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall
have been given to the Notes Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the
effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

          (e) Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1 and
the Notes Documents, the Term Collateral Agent, the Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Notes Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors
against the Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed the Term Obligations or the Notes
Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Term Documents, the Notes
Documents and applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.1, nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties,

-63-

 

the
Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Parties of the required payments of interest,
principal and other amounts in respect of the Term Obligations and Notes Obligations, as
applicable, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the
Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Parties, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured
Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set off) in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of
them.

          (f) Bailee for Perfection.

     (i) The ABL Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the ABL Priority Collateral
that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or
bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon
under the UCC (such ABL Priority Collateral being the “Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral”) as collateral agent for the ABL Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with
respect to any collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Term
Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Term Secured Parties) and the Notes Collateral Agent (on
behalf of the Notes Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof and act as such agent under
all control agreements relating to the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral, in each case solely
for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Credit Documents,
the Term Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 3.4(f). Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Term
Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral as collateral agent for
the Term Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any collateral that cannot
be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of the
Notes Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the
security interest granted under the Term Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4(f). As security for the payment and
performance in full of all the Notes Obligations and Term Obligations each Grantor hereby
grants to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and the Term
Secured Parties a lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of
such Grantor, in and to and under the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral wherever located and
whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time. As security for the
payment and performance in full of all the Notes Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to
the Term Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties a lien on and
security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in and to and
under the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral wherever located and whether now existing or
hereafter arising or acquired from time to time.

     (ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (x) until the Discharge of ABL Obligations
has occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged ABL
Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents as if the Liens of the
Term Collateral Agent under the Term Security Documents and the Liens of the Notes
Collateral Agent under the Notes Security Documents did not exist
and (y) following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and until the Discharge of Term
Obligations has occurred, the Term Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the

-64-

 

Pledged ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Term Documents as if the
Liens of the Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes Security Documents did not exist. The
rights of the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall at all times be
subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the ABL Collateral Agent’s rights under the
ABL Documents.

     (iii) The ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any ABL Secured
Party, the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any
Notes Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral is genuine or owned
by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly
set forth in this Section 3.4(f). The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral
Agent under this Section 3.4(f) shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 3.4(f). The Term Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any Notes Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral is
genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person
except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.4(f). The duties or responsibilities of the
Term Collateral Agent under this Section 3.4(f) shall be limited solely to holding the
Pledged ABL Priority Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 3.4(f).

     (iv) The ABL Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) shall not have by
reason of the ABL Security Documents, the Term Security Documents, the Notes Security
Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
ABL Secured Party, the Term Collateral Agent, any Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral
Agent or any Notes Secured Party. The Term Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section
3.4(f) shall not have by reason of the Term Security Documents, the Notes Security
Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
Term Secured Party, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party.

     (v) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations under the ABL Documents to which the ABL
Collateral Agent is a party, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered
the remaining Pledged ABL Priority Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the
possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the
Term Collateral Agent to the extent Term Obligations remain outstanding, second, to the
Notes Collateral Agent to the extent Notes Obligations remain outstanding, and third, to the
applicable Grantor to the extent no ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Notes Obligations
remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such
Pledged ABL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with the Term Collateral Agent or Notes
Collateral Agent, as applicable, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the ABL
Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other
Pledged ABL Priority Collateral under its control. The ABL Collateral Agent further agrees
to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such Person
obtaining a first priority interest
in the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations and upon the Discharge

-65-

 

of Term
Obligations under the Term Documents to which the Term Collateral Agent is a party, the Term
Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged ABL Priority
Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees,
together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Notes Collateral Agent to the extent
Notes Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no
Term Obligations or Notes Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such
Person to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Priority Collateral) and will cooperate with
the Notes Collateral Agent in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the Term
Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any
other Pledged ABL Priority Collateral under its control. The Term Collateral Agent further
agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such
Person obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged ABL Priority Collateral or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any Term
Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, all rights of the ABL
Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Term Security Documents, the ABL Security Documents
or the Notes Security Documents (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of
the ABL Priority Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence
the maintenance or disposition of such ABL Priority Collateral, shall immediately, and (to
the extent permitted by law) without further action on the part of either of the Term
Collateral Agent, the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, pass to the Term
Collateral Agent, who shall thereafter hold such rights for the benefit of the Term Secured
Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any collateral that cannot be perfected in
such manner, as agent for, the Notes Secured Parties. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and
the Grantors agrees that it will, if any Term Obligations or Notes Obligations remain
outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, take any other action required by any law
or reasonably requested by the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, in
connection with the Term Collateral Agent’s establishment and perfection of a First Priority
security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and the Notes Collateral Agent’s
establishment and perfection of a Second Priority security interest in the ABL Priority
Collateral.

     (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason,
prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral
Agent acquires possession of any Pledged Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent
or the Notes Collateral Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as
is provided in preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged ABL Priority Collateral,
provided that as soon as is practicable the ABL Collateral Agent or the Notes
Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged Term Priority
Collateral to the Term Collateral Agent in a manner otherwise consistent with the
requirements of preceding clause (v).

          (g) When Discharge of ABL Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if at any time after the Discharge of ABL Obligations has
occurred (or concurrently therewith) the Company or any other Grantor

-66-

 

immediately thereafter (or
concurrently therewith) enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any ABL Obligations, then such
Discharge of ABL Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes
of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such
designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of ABL Obligations), and the
obligations under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as ABL Obligations for
all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in
respect of Collateral set forth herein, the term “ABL Credit Agreement” shall be deemed
appropriately modified to refer to such Permitted Refinancing and the ABL Collateral Agent under
such ABL Documents shall be a ABL Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof and the new secured
parties under such ABL Documents shall automatically be treated as ABL Secured Parties for all
purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Company or any other
Grantor has entered into a new ABL Document in respect of a Permitted Refinancing of ABL
Obligations (which notice shall include the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the
“New ABL Agent”), and delivery by the New ABL Agent of an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder,
the Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such
documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or
such New ABL Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New ABL Agent the rights
contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this
Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New ABL Agent any Pledged ABL Priority Collateral held by the
Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or
otherwise allow the New ABL Agent to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Priority Collateral). The
New ABL Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new ABL Obligations
under the new ABL Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting ABL
Priority Collateral that do not also secure the Term Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then
the Term Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Second Priority Lien on such assets to the
same extent provided in the Term Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority
Collateral and the Notes Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Third Priority Lien on
such assets to the same extent provided in the Notes Security Documents with respect to the other
ABL Priority Collateral. If the new ABL Obligations under the new ABL Documents are secured by
assets of the Grantors of the type constituting TL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the
Term Obligations and the Notes Obligations, then the Term Obligations shall be secured at such
time by a First Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Term Security
Documents with respect to the other TL Priority Collateral and the Notes Obligations shall be
secured at such time by a Third Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the
Notes Security Documents with respect to the other TL Priority Collateral.

          (h) Option to Purchase ABL Obligations.

     (i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the ABL Collateral Agent and
the ABL Secured Parties, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility
standards contained in all relevant ABL Documents) at any time or from time to time
designated by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Term Obligations under the Term Credit Agreement as being
entitled to exercise all default purchase options as to the Term Obligations then
outstanding (an “Eligible Term Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way
of

-67-

 

assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the Term Secured
Parties), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (iii) below of this
Section 3.4(h), all, but not less than all, of the ABL Obligations (other than the ABL
Obligations of a Defaulting ABL Secured Party (as defined below)), including all principal
of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties
and premiums in respect of all ABL Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase;
provided, that at the time of (and as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this
Section 3.4(h), all commitments pursuant to any then outstanding ABL Credit Agreement shall
have terminated in accordance with their terms. Any purchase pursuant to this Section
3.4(h)(i) shall be made as follows:

     for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances or
other similar extensions of credit that constitute ABL Obligations (including unreimbursed
amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, but excluding the undrawn amount of then
outstanding letters of credit), 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to
any acceleration or other prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage
costs), plus (B) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts
through the date of purchase; and (y) an obligation on the part of the respective Eligible
Term Purchasers (which shall be expressly provided in the assignment documentation described
below) to reimburse each issuing lender and bank guaranty issuer (or any ABL Secured Party
required to pay same) for all amounts thereafter drawn with respect to any letters of credit
and any bank guaranties constituting ABL Obligations which remain outstanding after the date
of any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4, together with all facing fees and other
amounts which may at any future time be owing to the respective issuing lender or bank
guaranty issues with respect to such letters of credit and bank guaranties;

     with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) payable in cash on the
date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term
Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, whether
as to the enforceability of any ABL Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection,
priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation
for, any ABL Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representation and
warranty that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than
participation interests not prohibited by the ABL Credit Agreement, in which case the
purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) shall be appropriately adjusted so
that the Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers do not pay amounts represented
by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey,
whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the ABL Obligations);
provided that the purchase price in respect of any outstanding letter of credit that
remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when such letter of
credit is drawn upon (i) first, from the cash collateral account described in clause
(a)(3) below, until the amounts contained therein have been
exhausted, and (ii) thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or
Eligible Term Purchasers;

-68-

 

     with such purchase accompanied by a deposit of cash collateral under the sole dominion
and control of the ABL Collateral Agent or its designee in an amount equal to 110% of the
sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of credit and bank
guaranties pursuant to the ABL Documents and the aggregate facing and similar fees which
will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the letters of credit and bank guaranties
(assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), as security for the respective
Eligible Term Purchaser’s or Eligible Term Purchasers’ obligation to pay amounts as provided
in preceding clause (i)(l)(y), it being understood and agreed that (x) at the time any
facing or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any letter of credit, the ABL
Collateral Agent may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay same and (y)
upon any drawing under any letter of credit, the ABL Collateral Agent shall apply amounts
deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing. After giving
effect to any payment made as described above in this clause (3), those amounts (if any)
then on deposit with the ABL Collateral Agent as described in this clause (3) which exceed
110% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of credit
and bank guaranties and the aggregate facing and similar fees (to the respective issuers)
which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding letters of
credit and bank guaranties (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), shall be
returned to the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term Purchasers (as their
interests appear). Furthermore, at such time as all letters of credit and bank guaranties
have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all
applications described above have been made, any excess cash collateral deposited as
described above in this clause (3) (and not previously applied or released as provided
above) shall be returned to the respective Eligible Term Purchaser or Eligible Term
Purchasers, as their interests appear;

     with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) accompanied by a waiver
by the Term Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Term Secured Parties) of all
claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of
exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 3.4(h);

     with all amounts payable to the various ABL Secured Parties in respect of the
assignments described above to be distributed to them by the ABL Collateral Agent in
accordance with their respective holdings of the various ABL Obligations; and

Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral
on which the ABL Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company

Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 3.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the ABL
Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are subordinated or pari
passu with the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing, the
Term Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate their Liens in the ABL
Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
thereto). The Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that it will not
raise any objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral
free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of proceeds with respect to the Second
Priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral in favor of the Term Collateral Agent and the
Third Priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent in
the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code if the ABL Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition

adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly,
agreed by the Term Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section
3.5(c)) and, to the extent the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term
Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens on the ABL
Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing, the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate
its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all
obligations relating thereto). Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any

and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code if the Term Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition of
such assets.

Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that none of them
shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL
Collateral Agent. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, until the Discharge of Term
Obligations has occurred, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured
Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral without the
prior written consent of the Term Collateral Agent.

          (c) Adequate Protection.

ABL Priority Collateral or (ii) any objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured
Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Collateral Agent or the
ABL Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority
Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.5(c), in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof)
are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets
constituting ABL Priority Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Term
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request
adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien of the
Term Collateral Agent will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations and
such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other
Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations are so subordinated to the
ABL Obligations under this Agreement and which Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent will be
subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations, such DIP Financing (and all
obligations relating thereto) and the Term Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens
on ABL
Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL
Obligations and Term Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the Term
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, or the Notes Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate
protection in respect of ABL Priority Collateral securing Term Obligations or the Notes
Obligations, as applicable, and such adequate protection is granted in the form of

-72-

 

additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Priority Collateral, then the
Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree that the ABL
Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as
security for the ABL Obligations and for any such DIP Financing provided by the ABL Secured
Parties and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Obligations and
the Notes Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the ABL
Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the ABL Secured Parties (and all
obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the ABL Secured Parties as
adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing
the Term Obligations and Notes Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL Obligations under
this Agreement.

     (ii) Prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf
of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support
any other person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term
Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral or (ii)
any objection by the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties to any motion,
relief, action or proceeding based on the Term Collateral Agent or the Term Secured Parties
claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.5(c), in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the Term Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted
adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets
constituting ABL Priority Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Notes
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, may seek or request
adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be
subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all
obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Priority
Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Obligations under
this Agreement, and (B) in the event the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Notes Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in respect of ABL Priority
Collateral securing the Notes Obligations, and such adequate protection is granted in the
form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Priority Collateral,
then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agree
that the Term Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional
collateral as security for the Term Obligations and for any such DIP Financing provided by
the Term Secured Parties and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Notes
Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Term
Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the Term Secured Parties (and all
obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Term Secured Parties as
adequate protection on the same basis as the other
Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to
such Term Obligations under this Agreement.

          (d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a), nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured

obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor
are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan,
on account of ABL Obligations , on account of Term Obligations and on account of the Notes
Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL
Obligations, on account of the Term Obligations and on account of the Notes Obligations are
secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the
distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the
Liens securing such debt obligations.

Parties, or for any diminution in the value of the TL Priority Collateral that results from
ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the TL Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured
Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 4.3(a). Without

Grantor contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
discharge of the Company’s or such Grantor’s other obligations hereunder.

          (c) Each of the Collateral Agents and the Administrative Agents acknowledge and agree that
neither has made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality,
completeness, collectability or enforceability of any other ABL Document, any Term Document or any
Notes Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Collateral Agents and
the Administrative Agents will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective extensions of
credit to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with law and their usual practices,
modified from time to time as they deem appropriate.

          20.16. Additional Grantors. Holdings and the Company will cause each Person that becomes a
Grantor or is a Domestic Subsidiary required by any Term Document, ABL Document or Notes Document
to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this
Agreement, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the parties hereto an Intercreditor
Agreement Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if
it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. Holdings and the Company shall
promptly provide each Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent with a copy of each
Intercreditor Agreement Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 6.16.

          20.17. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Notes Secured Party
is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay
to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then such ABL
Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, as applicable, shall be entitled to a
reinstatement of ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Notes Obligations, as applicable, with
respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such
Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination
shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties
hereto from such date of reinstatement.

          20.18. Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the Intercreditor Agreement referred to in
the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Credit Agreement and the Indenture. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to subordinate the right of any ABL Secured Party to receive payment to the right
of any Term Secured Party to receive payment or of any Term Secured Party to receive payment to the
right of any ABL Secured Party to receive payment or the right of any Notes Secured Party to
receive payment to the right of any Term Secured Party or ABL Secured Party to receive payment
(whether before or after the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), it being the
intent of the parties that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens but not a
subordination of Indebtedness.

          20.19. Foreign Collateral. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the Bermuda
Term Borrower and various Foreign Subsidiaries of Holdings, the Company and/or the Bermuda Term
Borrower have granted security interests in certain of their property, securing their Term
Obligations, and that as of the date of this Agreement, no such security interests have been
provided by the Bermuda Term Borrower or any other Foreign Subsidiary to secure any ABL Obligations
or Notes Obligations. It is understood and agreed by all parties hereto that this Agreement does
not apply to any security interests granted by the Bermuda Term Borrower or any other Foreign
Subsidiary, and that any assets or property pledged by the Bermuda Term Borrower or any other
Foreign Subsidiary to secure (or which are subject to a Lien to secure) any Term Obligations or ABL
Obligations or Notes Obligations shall not be subject to the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
Neither the Bermuda Term Borrower nor any Foreign Subsidiary shall constitute a Grantor hereunder
or be bound by the provisions hereof. It is also understood and agreed by all parties hereto that
neither Holdings nor Intermediate Holdco shall be required to grant a security interest in, or Lien
on any of their assets or property to secure the Notes or the Notes Obligations.

          20.20. Cash Collateral (Term Credit Agreement). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that, all cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement as in effect on the
date hereof, after giving effect to the Restatement Effective Date as defined therein) actually
delivered to the Term Administrative Agent or Term Collateral Agent pursuant to Sections 2B.07
and/or 4.02(a) of the Term Credit Agreement, but in each case only to the extent of the aggregate
stated amounts and/or face amounts of letters of credit and bank guarantees (calculated in
accordance with the Term Credit Agreement) exceed the sum of (x) the relevant commitments
thereunder plus (y) any required cushion or over-collateralization thereof, then such cash and Cash
Equivalents may be held as collateral as provided in the Term Credit Agreement and shall constitute
TL Priority Collateral rather than ABL Priority Collateral.

-91-

 

          20.21. Credit-Linked Deposits. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Credit-Linked Deposits (as defined
in the Term Credit Agreement) shall remain property of the respective Term Lenders as provided in
the Term Credit Agreement
and shall not constitute Collateral hereunder; provided, that, without limiting the
foregoing, if, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Credit Linked Deposits (or any portion thereof)
are deemed to be Collateral (whether as a matter of applicable law or otherwise) then such
CreditLinked Deposits or the applicable portion thereof, as the case may be, shall be deemed to
constitute TL Priority Collateral, rather than ABL Priority Collateral, for all purposes hereunder.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in further consideration of the sum of

before the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, the receipt whereof is hereby
acknowledged, and of other good and valuable consideration, it is agreed by and between the Company
and the Trustee as follows:

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE LIEN OF THE

INDENTURE

          The Company hereby confirms unto the Trustee, and records the description of the property
described in Schedule A hereto and expressly made a part hereof, which property is subject to the
lien of the Indenture, and the Mortgaged Property shall include, but not be limited to, the
property described in Schedule A hereto.

ARTICLE I.

7.15% MORTGAGE BONDS, SERIES 2009A DUE 2019

          SECTION 1. (a) There is hereby created a twelfth series of Mortgage Bonds to be issued under
and secured by the Indenture, to be designated as “7.15% Mortgage Bonds, Series 2009A due 2019” of
the Company (“Bonds of the Twelfth Series”).

          (b) The Bonds of the Twelfth Series may be issued without limitation as to aggregate principal
amount except as provided in the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Bonds of the
Twelfth Series shall be initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000;
provided that the Company may, without the consent of the Bondholders of the

2

 

Outstanding Bonds of the Twelfth Series, issue additional Bonds of the Twelfth Series, without
limitation as to aggregate principal amount except as provided in the Indenture and this
Supplemental Indenture, having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms of the
Bonds of the Twelfth Series. Such additional Bonds shall be part of the same series as the Bonds
of the Twelfth Series and fungible with the initially issued Bonds of the Twelfth Series for U.S.
federal tax purposes.

          (c) The Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be registered Bonds without coupons and shall be
dated as described in Section 2.03 of the Indenture except that the Bonds of the Twelfth Series
initially issued shall be dated March 24, 2009. All Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall mature on
April 1, 2019, subject to prior redemption pursuant to Section 2 of this Article I. All Bonds of
the Twelfth Series shall be issued initially in the form of one or more global bonds to or on
behalf of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), as depositary therefore, and registered in the name
of such depositary or its nominee.

          (d) The principal and interest on the Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States of America. The place where such principal shall be payable shall be at
the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any
successor in trust). The place where interest shall be payable shall be the principal office of
the Trustee in Kansas City, Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust), or by
check mailed to the registered holders of Bonds of the Twelfth Series. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to Bonds of the Twelfth Series in the form of one or more global bonds
registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the Company may make payments of principal of,
redemption price of, and interest on such global bond pursuant to and in accordance with such
arrangements as are agreed upon by the Company and the depositary for the Bonds of the Twelfth
Series.

          (e) The rate of interest on the Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be 7.15% per annum, payable
semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 each year, commencing October 1, 2009. The first interest
period for the Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall begin on March 24, 2009. Interest will accrue on
the unpaid portion of the principal of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series from the last date to which
interest was paid, or if no interest has been paid from the date of the original issuance of the
Bonds of the Twelfth Series until the entire principal amount of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series is
paid.

          (f) The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase any Bonds of the Twelfth Series
pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement or upon the happening of a specified event or
at the option of a holder of any Bonds of the Twelfth Series.

          (g) The Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be subject to redemption as set forth in Section 2
of this Article I.

          (h) So long as there is no existing default in the payment on the Bonds of the Twelfth Series,
the person in whose name any Bond of the Twelfth Series is registered at the close of business on
any record date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest
payable on such interest payment date, notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Bond of the
Twelfth Series subsequent to the record date and on or prior to

3

 

such interest payment date, except as and to the extent the Company shall default in the
payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case defaulted interest shall
be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twelfth Series is registered on the date of
payment of such defaulted interest.

          As used in this Section 1, the term “default in the payment of interest” means failure to pay
interest due on the applicable interest payment date disregarding any period of grace permitted by
Section 12.02 of the Indenture, and the term “record date” with respect to each April 1 interest
payment date means the March 15 immediately preceding such April 1, and with respect to each
October 1 interest payment date means the September 15 immediately preceding such October 1.

          SECTION 2. The Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be redeemable prior to maturity, in whole at
any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at the redemption prices
hereinafter stated, on notice given in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 2
and in Article IX of the Indenture.

     The redemption prices of Bonds of the Twelfth Series redeemed at the option of the Company
shall be equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twelfth
Series to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of principal and interest on the Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be redeemed (not including any
portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date
of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the
date of redemption.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing default in the payment on the
Bonds of the Twelfth Series, installments of interest on Bonds of the Twelfth Series that are due
and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on
the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant
record date according to the Bonds of the Twelfth Series and the Indenture, except as and to the
extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date,
in which case defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twelfth
Series is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

     For purposes of this Section 2:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation
Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of
the Twelfth Series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Bonds of the Twelfth Series.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date: (i) the average of the four
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if
only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

4

 

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Banc of America Securities LLC, BNP Paribas
Securities Corp. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or their affiliates, and their respective
successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the
United States of America (“Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company will substitute
therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) one other Primary Treasury Dealer that the
Company selects.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and
any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

     Except as hereinafter provided, notice of redemption of Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be
mailed by or on behalf of the Company, postage prepaid, at least thirty and not more than forty
days prior to such date of redemption, to the registered owners of all Bonds of the Twelfth Series
to be so redeemed, at their respective addresses appearing upon the registry books. Any notice
which is mailed as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been properly and
sufficiently given on the date of such mailing, whether or not the holder receives the notice. In
any case, failure to give due notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the registered owners
of any Bonds of the Twelfth Series designated for redemption as a whole or in part, shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Bond.

          SECTION 3. Bonds of the Twelfth Series may be issued in denominations of $1,000 numbered
consecutively from “R1” upward and in such multiples of $1,000 as the Company may authorize,
appropriately numbered, the execution and delivery thereof to be conclusive evidence of such
authorization.

     The form of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be substantially as follows (any of the
provisions of such Bond may be set forth on the reverse side thereof):

(FORM OF BOND OF THE TWELFTH SERIES)

[For so long as this global bond is deposited with or on behalf of the Depository Trust Company, it
shall bear the following legend.] This security is a global security within the meaning of the
Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee
thereof. This security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for a security registered, and no
transfer of this security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other
than such depositary or a nominee thereof, except in the limited circumstances described in the
indenture or any supplement thereto.

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository Trust
Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to Kansas City Power & Light Company or its agent for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name
of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any
payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

of 7.15% per annum, payable semi-annually as provided in the indenture hereinafter mentioned, on
the first day of April and on the first day of October in each year, commencing October 1, 2009,
until the Company’s obligation with respect to the payment of such principal sum shall be
discharged as provided in the indenture hereinafter mentioned; provided that, so long as there is
no existing default in the payment of interest and except for the payment of defaulted interest,
the interest payable on any April 1 will be paid to the person in whose name this Bonds was
registered at the close of business on the preceding March 15, or on any October 1 will be paid to
the person in whose name this Bond was registered at the close of business on the preceding
September 15. The principal of and any premium or interest on this Bond of the Twelfth Series are
payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

          This Bond of the Twelfth Series is one, of the series hereinafter specified, of the bonds of
the Company (“Bonds”) known as its “Mortgage Bonds,” issued and to be issued in one or more series
under and secured by a General Mortgage Indenture and Deed of Trust dated as of December 1, 1986
(“Indenture”), duly executed by the Company to UMB Bank, N.A., (formerly United Missouri Bank of
Kansas City, N.A.), Trustee (“Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged, the nature and
extent of the security, the terms and conditions upon which the Bonds are, and are to be, issued
and secured, and the rights of the owners of the Bonds and of the Trustee in respect of such
security, and the prior liens to which the security for the Bonds is junior; capitalized terms used
in this Bond of the Twelfth Series have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. As
provided in the Indenture, the Bonds may be various principal sums, are issuable in series, may
mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as therein
provided; and this Bond of the Twelfth Series is one of a series entitled “7.15% Mortgage Bonds,
Series 2009A due 2019,” created by a Twelfth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 2009, as
provided for in the Indenture. With the

6

 

consent of the holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Bonds, the Company and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time, enter into a Supplemental
Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
provision of the Indenture or of any Supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the holders of the Bonds and any coupons; provided, however, that (i) no
such Supplemental Indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Bond
affected thereby (A) extend the fixed maturity of any Bonds, change any terms of any sinking fund
or analogous fund or conversion rights with respect to any Bonds, or reduce the rate or rates or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or, subject
to certain exceptions, limit the right of a holder of Bonds to institute suit for the enforcement
of payment of principal of or any premium or interest on such Bonds in accordance with the terms of
said Bonds, or (B) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Bonds, the holders of which are required to
consent to any such Supplemental Indenture, or (C) permit the creation by the Company of any Prior
Lien, and (ii) no such action which would affect the rights of holders of Bonds of only one series
may be taken unless approved by the holders of more than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds of such series affected, but if any such action would affect the Bonds of two or
more series, the approval of such action on behalf of the holders of Bonds of such two or more
series may be effected by holders of more than 60% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Bonds of such two or more series, which need not include 60% in principal amount of Outstanding
Bonds of each of such series; provided, however, that, in no event shall such
action be effective unless approved by holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of
all the then Outstanding Bonds of all such series.

          The Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be redeemable, prior to maturity, in whole at any time
or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be redeemed; and
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on
the Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of
interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date of redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate, plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing default in the payment on the
Bonds of the Twelfth Series, installments of interest on Bonds of the Twelfth Series that are due
and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on
the interest payment date to the registered holders as of the close of business on the relevant
record date according to the Bonds of the Twelfth Series and the Indenture, except as and to the
extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date,
in which case defaulted interest shall be paid to the person in whose name such Bond of the Twelfth
Series is registered on the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

          For purposes of determining the redemption price:

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation
Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Bonds of
the Twelfth Series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection

7

 

and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt
securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Bonds of the Twelfth Series.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date: (i) the average of the four
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (iii) if
only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) each of Banc of America Securities LLC, BNP Paribas
Securities Corp. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or their affiliates, and their respective
successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the
United States of America (“Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company will substitute
therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (ii) one other Primary Treasury Dealer that the
Company selects.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and
any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices
for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the
semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.

          Notice of any redemption of Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall be mailed by or on behalf of the
Company, postage prepaid, at least thirty and not more than forty days prior to such date of
redemption, to the registered owners of all Bonds of the Twelfth Series to be so redeemed, at their
respective addresses appearing upon the registry books, as more fully provided in the Indenture and
said Twelfth Supplemental Indenture. Notice of redemption having been duly given, the Bonds of the
Twelfth Series called for redemption shall become due any payable upon the redemption date and, if
the redemption price shall have been deposited with the Trustee, interest thereon shall cease to
accrue on and after the redemption date, and whenever the redemption price thereof shall have been
deposited with the Trustee and notice of redemption shall have been duly given or provision
therefor made, such Bonds of the Twelfth Series shall no longer be entitled to any lien or benefit
of the Indenture.

          In the event that this Bond of the Twelfth Series shall not be presented for payment when the
principal hereof becomes due, either at maturity or otherwise, and the Company shall have on
deposit with the Trustee in trust for the purpose, on the date when this Bond of the Twelfth Series
is due, funds sufficient to pay the principal of this Bond of the Twelfth Series, together with all
interest due hereon to the date of maturity of this Bond of the Twelfth Series, for the use and
benefit of the Registered Owner hereof, then all liability of the Company to the Registered Holder
of this Bond of the Twelfth Series for the payment of the

8

 

principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon shall forthwith cease, determine and be
completely discharged and the right of such Registered Holder of this Bond of the Twelfth Series
for the payment of the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon shall forthwith cease,
determine and be completely discharged and such Registered Holder shall no longer be entitled to
any lien or benefit of the Indenture.

          In case an event of Default shall occur, the principal of this Bond of the Twelfth Series may
become or be declared due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in the Indenture.

          This Bond of the Twelfth Series is transferable by the Registered Holder hereof in person or
by an attorney duly authorized in writing, at the principal office of the Trustee in Kansas City,
Missouri (or at the principal office of any successor in trust), upon surrender and cancellation of
this Bond of the Twelfth Series, and upon any such transfer a new registered Bond of the Twelfth
Series without coupons of the same series for the same principal amount will be issued to the
transferee in exchange herefor and Bonds of this series may, at the option of the Registered Holder
and upon surrender at said office of the Trustee (or any successor in trust), or at said office or
agency of the Company, be exchanged for registered Bonds of this series of the same aggregate
principal amount of other authorized denominations, all without service charge (except for any
stamp tax or other governmental charge).

          The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond of the
Twelfth Series is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and
for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.

          No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
this Bond of the Twelfth Series, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of
the Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, director or
officer, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor corporation, as such, either
directly or through the Company or of any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers
being waived and released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this Bond of the Twelfth
Series and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise waived and
released by the terms of the Indenture.

          This Bond of the Twelfth Series shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose unless
and until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by the Trustee or its
successor in trust under said Indenture.
